It's modified? Aww man.......

I'm not sold on the game, but it's like the bleeped-out version of RatM's Killing in the Name of.

i.e: Why fucking bother

EDIT: It's not modified.

And thanks man - although I reckon it'll be a while before I write something like this again. Was glad I had a couple of experts to help clarify some of the points for me.

Great article. Really insightful and clears up a lot of misconceptions. This got me thinking - is it possible that Sony made all their systems since the PSP region-free precisely so that people couldn't make the region-locking circumvention argument when dealing with modchips? Given that they were the ones who had their PS2 modchip lawsuit thrown out...

I own precisely one fighting game - Soul Calibur 2.


Yes, my 15 year old self bought it because Link was in it.

I was never any good at it.

I got it because of that and because my mum asked this crazy old lady if it was good.

I don't know if this is old news, but regarding the lol wat arrow, I was in EB today and saw a sign allowing me to get 5% extra trade in value for my iPod if I traded it in for Marvel vs Capcom. Not for just any game, but specifically for Marvel vs Capcom.

lol wat indeed.

EDIT: I love Adam Hills. This Gordon St Tonight show is great.

this just came from Amazon UK

"We now offer FREE Super Saver Delivery to Australia and New Zealand when you spend £25 or more on Books, DVD and Music."

now, I spend a lot with them. And it looks as though I will continue to do so...

I check with excitement and change cities to Melbourne.

"Get $60 of anything for $29 from ANY of Frat House’s 16 stores!"

Fuck off.

!!! Great idea Bern.

And Clive, Amazon offering you free shipping is like offering Shane Warne a phone plan with unlimited free texts. IT'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU, YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, SEEK HELP

"Free" shipping only exists to highlight how awful it is and how you must pay for postage. >_> Especially in Amazon's case.

So since gamebryo wouldn't install and i couldn't do any homework, i played mafia 2. For 6 hours. Longest gaming streak since, er.. Retro game challenge? Anyway, i love this game. The city is great, the graphics are incredible (though, didn't seem to scale so well to 1080p), i'm in love with everything related to gunfights in this game. The cover system is so very arcade-styled and the pop and shoot is amazing and feels very nice, compared to gears' sluggishness. The cars look great, handle like shit. The characters are fucking spot on, vito is likeable, as well as the model being ridiculously detailed, especially in the face. I really enjoyed the made man dlc also, going through some scenes wearing a pink suit is beyond hilarious. Vice city levels of funny. The whole
jail sequence
was fantastic, even after a sluggish start. Seriously, go play this game unless you don't like the basic mechanics of what an open world car game is.
I also literally stopped playing it because of uni tomorrow morning. I used my phone to type out this post so forgive the lack of formatting

Joke would be funnier if you could program :p

Actually i haven't done any java stuff for years. I'm stuck in a land of php, jscript and mysql and other such fun* things.

Replace MySQL with Oracle and you'll want to end things really fast. Even MSSQL is amazing in comparison with Oracle. Actually, MSSQL 2008 isn't too bad.

Yeah, MSSQL isn't too bad.

But don't Oracle own MySQL now? in theory anyway, cause i'm sure Sun bought MySQL and Oracle bought Sun.

? This does not exist as far as I'm aware. Every Edge I've bought (most of them) is UK.

If it does, where do I apply for a job?
Click to expand...

Australian Edge was an ill fated Australian version of the UK magazine that was headed by Kevin Cheung, cost almost as much as the UK version (its biggest failing) and lasted about six months.

Yeah what Choc said. It actually wasn't a bad magazine, it just pissed me off that I couldn't buy the real Edge for six months. I have this stupid hole in my collection.

Edge and Next Gen were on the shelves at the same time, making the situation even sillier. I bought both even though they shared 50% of their content, because the other 50% was so good.

Yeah now that you mention it, I remember this.

Gaz, have you digitally subscribed to Edge or are you still getting the papery version? I'm still buying it from store shelves but thinking of jumping on the digital subscription as an addition. It's so cheap (and portable to all platforms) that it seems silly not to.

Though I'm yet to part with my money...

As someone who subscribes to ESPN and gets their mag electronically every month, they're just not as good as getting the paper version.

Just, much easier to forget about.
