The staff were helpful enough, but they had a queue for several people wanting to buy stuff, so i had to queue behind people trying to buy stuff, and clog that up for the people behind me, wanting to buy stuff. If they had've just had a terminal... yeah.
The ENB stuff kills performance, Although that guy is meant to be on a quad core with a 570gtx and it seems to be running well.
It looks out of this world, Never thought GTA could look so good.
Not sure on the version. It sounds like he took a bunch of little mods and got it the way he personally liked.

Yay, AFL season is upon us, so the Herald Sun must publish an article hating on 'soccer' fans and their behaviour.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/vi...nt-rod-wilson/comments-e6frf7kx-1226007831676
The comments section is just full of hypocrites and xenophobes. God I hate exclusive-AFL fans.

I care that the sport I love over any other continually gets knocked about because of certain agendas and with little basis. Why is this front page herald sun news? And yet you see
100 people removed from boxing day test' etc get relegated to a sideline article buried deep in the paper?
Even looking at the detail of what the guy says, he mention purely that 'fans show violent tendancies', not even that they are violent! By and large a product of being treated like dogs by the police at games. Its fucking frustrating.
100 people over 5 days with crowds of 70,000 each day doesn't sound too bad really.Omi said:
I've no idea why it's front page news, but i'm not sure why soccer is ever front page news in Aus
As legend says, i'd feel much more worried going to a tigers, bulldogs, sharks, dragons, knights game in the NRL than any soccer game in AU.

It is interesting to see
1) The attitude of the police to so many been kicked out.
2) The reporting.
Happens every year and you get 0 reporting on people getting kicked out of AFL/NRL games for the most part.

Are you kidding me? Maybe it's because in general (it sounds like) you don't read the rugby/nrl/afl sections much, but they do get narky about crowds. A few clubs have put in cameras that are fixed on all of hte crowd at all times, so they can perma ban members of the public from attending their games.
A lot of its in traditional trouble hot spots admittedly, i know the bulldogs and sharks have perma banned like 100 people at a time for brawls and starting shit in the stands.
good luck man, it's been 7 years since I've done an exam thankfully, never studied more than 2 days early (and never did very well haha)Ydahs said:Linear algebra exam today! After failing an exam last year you'd think I'd have learned my lesson, but once again I leave all my study to the last few days
Wish me luck GAF
Threadless has a $10 sale on some stuff, just ordered 2 tshirts I didn't need. Stupid sales.
giri said:
Ok fair call, I tend not to read NRL news due to lack of interest / living south of the NSW/Vic border, hah!
But the over saturation that the AFL gets here and the seemingly huge control they have on the local media outlets really winds me up. Sure they report the worst stuff, but mostly things go by the wayside.
I don't think I have been 'scared' at any sporting event I have attended, but I have seen far more 'crowd incidents' at AFL games than anything at Football or Cricket tbh. I would be very, very interested to see numbers/statistics for all codes as to the number of people kicked out and/or detained.
Wonder if we can dig that up as opposed to using anecdotal evidence all the damn time.
Pfft, you're not allowed to use real facts in an internet fight.Omi said:
No, i agree, i've never felt afraid or threatened, but i'm the sort that would just leave a potential danger when i see it building than hang around and wait for the implosion.
And, Victorians and AFL are weird
If it helps, Lin algebra is the easiest of all the modeling algebras, and i found it easier than basic algebra itself since you should by that point know how it works.Ydahs said:Linear algebra exam today!

Unless you're doing some crazy advanced algebra or something.
omi you and I both know why it is
Soccer scares the fucking shit out of the administration of the AFL and NRL. the world cup shenanigans they pulled confirmed it
the number 1 amatuer sport by FAR and the number 1 kids sport by FAR. That is a recipe if it ever sorts itself out properly to being a very very big thing in Australia. If everyone is playing it and getting their kids to play it, then obviously there is a love for the sport.
I mean the fact is it probably won't happen, but you can guarantee the NRL and AFL are aware of this.

lol, come on choc. We've had this discussion before. I wish we had an eye roll emoticon.
Soccer participation has always been higher than Aussie Rules/League. It's the same in the States, where people care about the game even less than they do in Australia. Soccer is an easier game to play socially. Basketball has a big participation rate too, but it does nothing for the NBL.

a current affair, cereal box journalism @ its best.
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/nines-current-affair-to-forget-20110217-1ay72.html
Early in the day, a promo appeared on the ninemsn website for last night's edition of A Current Affair. In a box headed ''reality TV'', a pointer read: "Housing commission uncensored. The new reality TV show targeting Australia's poorest residents - and it's government funded."
The show in question was Housos, and it is scheduled to appear on SBS some time in the second half of the year. But it's not a reality show, it's a comedy, from the creator and star of Pizza, Paul Fenech. One look at the trailer for the show on YouTube is enough to make that abundantly clear.
But as researchers from ACA and Seven's Today Tonight frantically sought outraged comment from social workers and residents in Sydney's western suburbs, SBS realised something was up. Around lunchtime, the broadcaster issued a release stating the bleedin' obvious.
'SBS is aware of media interest relating to a program currently in production Housos is not a reality series and everyone participating in the series is an actor. Audiences have always understood Paul's work to be highly exaggerated parody.''
''We're big fans of Paul Fenech, and we love a housing commission story, so it goes hand in hand,'' explained ACA executive producer Grant Williams.
The online ''reality TV'' tag was, he added, ''basically a f--- up by a girl working at ninemsn''. No one on his program ever mistook Housos for a reality show.
thats right blame a girl you fuckhead. It goes through approvals process before being shown. You're just not big enough to man up you're a fucking shit journalist who doesn't do research.
LOOOOL
fucking morons.

The A-league is floundering whilst the AFL and NRL are growing. Not only that but it isn't even played at the same time as the AFL and NRL. I doubt either are worried about football at all (its pretty damn obvious that they consider each other to be their main threat).

You would be. I've been to lots of dogs games and never seen a single problem.
One has 3 franchises in financial trouble (that could see them fold mid season), the other is expanding.pilonv1 said:

Truth is, NRL's days are numbered. It might be a 20 year thing, but they are. No international competition means it's still an east coast australia centric sport.

but the AFL has no international competition and it seems to be doing ok

The AFL is a completely different game, and, is truely an australia wide sport. It's not stuck on one coast.
Really, is that why they can't sustain all the clubs in sydney? cause the local crowds are so strong? i must've mis heard all the reports that season ticket sales are down, for the 3rd year in a row for league.Danoss said:
St George, last years premiers, struggled to break even. Manly, who were title contenders for years, have barely enough funds to see through the season and are looking for a new owner, but so far, the minority owners don't want to increase their share, and they haven't been able to find a new investor. The sharks are... living off a cash grant from the NRL, and new castle, well, they're in serious trouble. Add into that, that the players are seeking more salary?
Maybe rugby won't "Kill" the NRL, but it will dwarf it. It's really just a matter of time.

The NRL also has a team in NZ and will most likely soon have a team in Perth. Once the NRL has a team in Perth it will cover as much of the population as any other code in Australia (it has a team in NQLD, Newcastle and Canberra to make up for not having a team in Adelaide).
giri said:
Well no clubs are going under, so im not sure what you're talking about.
giri said:
Could you be any more uninformed? Season ticket sales are up by a massive amount and have been for the last 3 years. Last year the NRL broke it's own attendance record and will beat that handily again this year.
Does it compare to the AFL? Of course not but that doesn't mean it isn't improving.
giri said:
I'm not even going to touch this. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
giri said:
LOL talking about falling crowds, hows the union comp doing in this country? You can't even get shown on FTA because no one gives a shit about it.
Even wallabies games rate like utter shit and are lucky to still be shown on FTA (The kangaroos easily outrate them despite having no international competition).
giri said:
Seriously? RL is growing i don't see why anyone thinks its about to die. RL may not have a huge international presence but it's pretty strong in NZ, has a pro comp in the UK and has a smaller presence in wales and france. RL also has a growing presence in Lebanon. It's also the number on sport in PNG and has a pretty strong interest amongst island nations.
It's nowhere near as strong as union (WW in Australia its no contest) but it's growing and im not sure why you think its about to die.
Teehee, your post just skips over all the realities of it, lalalala.AdventureRacing said:
Wallaby games rate really well actually, and get close to sell out crowds most games. Which compared to kangaroo's games that can't get 20,000....
The FTA thing is baffling actually, and annoying, but i believe it has as much to do with the way the whole SANZAR tv rights were worked, as with the ARU's part.
It's UK comp compares to soccer in aus, NZ is a Union first second and third country, and Lebanon & PNG? oh lord, you're stretching.
Overall crowd attendance was up in the australian super comp games player here (down in sydney). Add in Argentina (who do have a large professional player base [they play for french clubs mainly]) to the four nations next year, and it's started.
Rugbys biggest problem is the tradionalist morons in england and france who refuse to encourage the game in japan where japan keep begging to get a world cup to kickstart their domestic comp. It's moronic to ignore the money in japan. The sooner japan is brought into the super comp the better.
