So I was looking on the AFL site to see what time the Suns play their first game, and I see that they have a bye..
Why on earth would you give your brand new team, which should be used to generate interest in the new season, a bye in round 1? Seems pretty dumb.

Because this weekend in the NRL is Broncos vs Titans, and they didn't want to have to compete for hype this week, against that game. So they gave them a bye, and moved it to week 2. (no really, that's the reason). Next weekend i think there's almost 0 home games for brisbane/goldcoast teams in other football sports.

So, I just cancelled two of the 3DS games I had on pre-order!
Reason? Amazon's just added promotion credit to the 3DS and all the launch games. Order the 3DS and get $25 off a launch game in a later purchase. Order any launch game and get $10 off another launch game in a later purchase.
I am now going to do the following:

I am now going to do the following:
- Get 3DS and two launch games shipped on US day 1 (Lego Star Wars III and Pilotwings Resort).
- Wait two days for $45 of credit to appear in account.
- Re-order two games I just cancelled with discount (Nintendogs+cats and Steel Diver).
- Wait until mid-April while my $20 of additional credit will have appeared two days in.
- Ship Rayman (which I was waiting for a discount to get anyway) to the same delivery site where my Mortal Kombat order is going so I essentially get it for free shipping including the $20 discount.
I find hoops to jump through fun sometimes...
sorry, was messing with this stupid thing I saw on reddit: http://www.shadyurl.com/

A Hawk fan in Geelong, I doubt that ends well.
If Matthew Stokes is there, I'll know it's legit though.

If you can organise it, stop off at Florence for the full Assassin's Creed tour. It's actually a really nice city too. Even with your normal ticket to Venice, you ought to be able to get off and back on at Florence without paying extra... unless it's an overnight train, then forget about it.Salazar said:

The NRL couldn't organise a chook raffle, you give them far too much credit.

So I made my backlog list, and it is horrendous. I'm too embarassed to say the actual number of unfinished games on it.
In doing so I realised a couple of things:
a) that I have spent far too much money on games the last few years
b) that I really don't have the time or inclination to finish most of my unfinished games
Which makes me a bit of a sad panda. I sat here and wrote a livejournal worthy post about how my life has changed from when I lined up at midnight for my 360 just a few years ago, and how I must be finally getting over my obsession with games. Then I deleted and swore at myself for being a much of cocks about it.
I will go back and finish some of the games, but for the most part they are going to sit on my shelf collecting dust, which kinda makes me emotional, in the way that my hardcore gaming days might be at an end.
tl; dr - I have too many games to play and not enough time, getting old sucks, and I should have saved my money and bought a Winnebago or something.

Wow. This is me. Only difference is the majority (now) are in Steam so as determined as I might get to play and finish something, I'm always overwhelmed by choice and just end up staring at the screen for 10 minutes. I don't have the luxury of any kind of "wardrobe of shame" that I can hide them in.BanShunsaku said:
Yea, finished at 7:30. I'm not retail but I stuck around having to sort out the corporate orders for iPads and just helping out the retail guys however possible.Bernbaum said:
I was surprised by the line we had outside, shocked honestly. It want huge but at least 50 people as doors opened at 5, everyone out by 7:30. Doors were locked at 7, but you only had a few people try and get in, too late buddy!
3G seems popular in Vic, just about all of those are gone. The mc775's were popular, I think they were 32gb 3G black. Eh I'm lost on model numbers tonight, too many new ones to remember ;D

Make a list of the games you are most excited about, or the shortest games. Or even the games everyone talks about so at least you can say you have played the classics. Or politely ask Steam to take away your games.Shaneus said:

The backlog talk made me look at mine ... it is quite large. 57 games at this point (including a fair few that I have put 5-10 hours into but not finished like Far Cry 2, Bully, Just Cause 2 ... basically open world games). Even with 10-15 of them being short indie games it's still a tad unforgivable that I continue to buy stuff off steam just to put it in my backlog.
Bernbaum said:
I think for us blacks sold more, Apart from the 64GB whites left there were maybe a handful of others waiting to be sold. Of course, that was really just "Available" stock without allocating to the fuckton of backorders that are in the system, so I'm sure the 64GB whites will go shortly.
Did you pick up a case? Did you see anyone else buying one? I could swear they sold stuff all cases, It just didn't seem to be a item people were interested in. I think we got at least twice as many cases as iPads but most were happy to pick up just the iPad and maybe a cheapo 3rd party one instead of the official apple one or go without a case completely.
I look forward to monday, To see what's left over and then having to go through stock to make sure it's correct. There's a good chance some serials were invoiced out incorrectly so that should be fun.
I do feel sorry for the retail guys though, even though it was only 2 hours of work, They looked to be getting hammered.
