So close to parity.
Looking forward to convert some cash for my USA trip before the rates start dropping.

Does anyone want an AC Brotherhood beta code for PS3? I have one. I will send tomorrow if anyone wants.
Most reports seem to be indicating that we will probably level out at about $1.03-$1.10 and stay there for a very long while. I'd just wait for the trip and withdraw your money from ATMs once you are here like I'm doing right now. That's generally the way to get the best rate, as almost all methods to try to get US dollars while in Australia will cost you quite a lot.viewtifulsub said:
Looks like I prematurely posted those images after all. We were over 99.9 when I posted them, but it's back down a little. Anyway, today I get to spend some of my near-überdollars at Disneyland, yay!

In all seriousness, I tend not to get too carried away with steam sales purely because I know said sale item will come around again next time and I just don't have the time to play everything.
Real football?
Yup. theres an AFL show match in China.
you guys are going to laugh at me but whatever.
Medal of Honor has deeply affected me. I know that you guys are like well you're just tryign to sell it blah blah but hear me out, i actually don't think the game is that good so this is NOT a sales pitch.
I fired up final code last night (which finally had all the polish and levels etc) and played through the majority of the campaign. The first hour or so i actually sat there wondering if i should be playing this, should I be having 'entertainment' from a current theatre of war. Should I be diluting what is going down in afghanistan to a video game
I kept playing and started to feel ok about playing the game until the ranger missions. Hoo boy once you unlock and see those you start to see potentially what they are facing in the real world right now and it really got to me. The game depressed me like nothing else. I have not felt this bad after playing a game since manhunt, where you really did have to go smell some flowers to feel better about yourself after playing it. This too does the same to me.
The fact we have lost a number of soldiers this year in the war, also brings it home. It's on the news every day and I am struggling with the concept of playing through a 'current' war
I know you guys will be like whatever its a video game, but if we want to push this medium forward, its discussions and feelings like this that we should be having. The hurt locker did the same to a lot of people who watched it and won many oscars. MOH is not an oscar winning game (its not great as i said) but to evoke such emotions is a potentially incredible achievement.

Mar, a week or so after need for speed is out you should have a gamecrux round table podcast reviewing the game.
Could do that for a few large titles every year.
I can just give you a sound bite that says "No dual stick, it's shit" and you can play that whenever you need to during the podcast

I thought the bid was officially dead and buried as of a few weeks ago? I dunno, I haven't been keeping up. This is the last news I know of: http://au.fourfourtwo.com/news/183077,lowy-set-to-ditch-rovers.aspxChoc said:

Note to FFA. Why have i not been to the Sydney FC games this year when i attended some last year?
NO FRIDAY NIGHT GAMES. you want people to go in sydney, put it on in the city after work
people dont want to travel from teh suburbs to go to a football match (generally...)

It's a good idea but I think we'd have to pick a game we've all played, as I'm assuming I'll be the only one of us four that will play NFSHP (and god will I be playing it). Dead Rising 2 will likely be a candidate. We had a chat over who was going to do the official review. It's on Kritz's table at the moment.

I followed the A-League since inception more as a fan of the game than following any particular team (I am a LOOOONG time West Ham fan however... like 20 years+), and only used to go to Victory games with a group of friends, enjoyed but never really felt they were 'my team' so to speak.
Jumping on the Heart wagon was more like just being involved from the start etc, as well as a bit of wanting to wind up friends. :lol
Oh, another aside, when the A-League started, I was a new boy in Melbourne and couldn't bring myself to support a Victorian side.
So I guess a whole bunch of reasons?

Yea i didn't mean it had to be restricted to just you 4 guys. For all i and you know, there could be some out there who wouldn't mind being on a podcast for 20 minutes talking about nfs. A different set of people every game based on who actually played it could be interesting.
Otherwise just a standard writeup like you see RPS and other places do.

You forgot the best reason of all. Kevin Wanker Muscat doesn't play for them. I had the utmost pleasure of sending that prick off during a Victorian Premier League game a few years ago when i was doing a tour of national state premier leagues for training to move to the A-League referee backup lists.
FYI I am a Sunderland fan

I respect Muscat, but yep, total wanker.
