its possible

might see what the price for it in the local stores is day of release ended up putting thro and order with ozgame due to the point system

what dos everyone else use when shopping online for cheap games( or competitive prices) ?
 
I gottsa tag today, maybe it was another day but I only noticed today :)

haha, love it.

Although looking at the post it links to, this line:

, it's a bit overblown but given the size of its land mass it there are a high number of them.

is annoying me more than it should. Why does everyone think we're a little island!? :( We're like the same size as the US.

Bitter Member talk right there Jambo.

Trying to think of a cool gift to buy myself 5 kilograms from now. Maybe like $100-$200. What is cool.

I'm sure I'll never do anything awesome enough or embarrassing enough to deserve a tag and I'm OK with that. Mediocrity and keeping your head down, the public service way.

Same. I hate the word "mediocrity" because it implies that putting in minimum effort and sliding under the radar isn't itself a skill that takes years to hone.

Looking forward to Battleborn next week. It sounds like Overwatch will eat it alive when it comes out a month later, but Battleborn played really well in the beta, so I'm giving it a shot.

And just to further embarrass our new $5 note, the Kiwi's have won the prize for the best bank note in the world for theirs!



Yes, there are awards for banks notes!

Having spent some time in bureaucracy, it does take an amazing amount of effort and talent not to pop your head out above the pack. You might get promoted and have to do some real work!

How long can you take cold and flu tablets with pseudoephedrine? I've gone through an entire pack and my cold has gone nowhere, if anything today (the day where I haven't taken any) is worse than when it all started.

I've had a pretty bad cold for a while now too.

Wife got it bad and then our 10 month old son got it, so it was only a matter of time for me.

I've only been using paracetamol and ibuprofen, but after subsiding on the weekend it's come back hard today.
 
So... What do you think our chances of an Uncharted 4 broken street date are?

Not as high as I'd like it to be. Actually scurried about to a few different chains in Shellharbour to see if they'd crack; nada. Might try closer to release lol. I've a week off uni so I'd love to indulge myself.

Uncharted 4 isn't out for another 2 weeks. Just because street date got broken overseas by one retailer doesn't mean they would break so quickly here.

Oh I'm in the same area, good to know thanks.

It's Amazon though, pretty big deal I'd say. Also I thought it was happening in Europe too?

It'll leak through at some places but there will be no official "street break" where all stores can start selling. Quite a lot of fakes out there too I've seen on Twitter (hilarious when it says reversible cover but the inside of the case doesn't show it lol).

biding their time until this one comes out next year.

the cold and flu tabs ony suppress the symptoms, they do nothing about the cause. You probably need bed rest and fluids for a bit. Those cold and flu tabs should only be taken for a few days.

I've heard of a few people getting shipping notifications from Amazon uk and some peeps have picked them from GAME stores here. No PS4 for a bit so I'll have to wait till June.

Getting a tag on NeoGAF was the greatest achievement in my career.[/URL]
lol, there's no way in hell you would get that same tag today. accurate perhaps, but not in this day and age.
 
He made it to the final.

He didn't fall over.

Aussie champion.

Crazy thing is it was actually his strategy. He used the same hang back tactic two qualifying rounds before the final as well. Three rounds cruising through letting your opponents take themselves out.

Also he makes the skates of all the other top competitors.

He worked his arse off to get there too, and I mean his whole life. When I was a kid we'd have ice hockey training at 6 AM on a Sunday morning and Bradbury (and the other top Aussie speed skaters) would be finishing up their training as we arrived. The guy won three world championship medals and two Olympic medals in a sport where we have fuck all facilities or funding, so he earned everything that came to him :)

Impressive.

Also Ice Hockey in Aus?!? Tough gig.

I want a tag give me a tag
I was always confused as to why there was an Ice Hockey league in South Australia.

Mate the Avalanches were top stuff.most succesful team in the old league by far.

New league adelaides got the adrenaline. Not sure how good they are. Haven't been following for a few years
Melbs got two teams, the ice and the mustangs. Need to pick one.

Sydney has it best with the ice dogs as best name.
 
Hey who here works at JB? Online pre-order for Uncharted 4 ignored my giftcards and charged my Paypal the full amount, help a brother out!

Yeah the Amazon thing was a glitch, none actually got sent out. Hysteria! Sony will be rubbing their hands together at all dis hype.

Why did I agree to go see Civil War tonight, this was an awful idea. I'm in my office working at 9pm to kill time.

I wish more Australians were into ice hockey. My sister lived in the US for a couple of years and I got to go to a few games while I was visiting her. When we get together we always watch games together. But most Australians don't really catch on.

I think it's more the unavailability.

When ever the winter Olympics are on the icehockey always gets a watch. I remember working in a bottleshop back in like 2011 or when ever the games where on and we'd have the Olympics on the tele. Ice hockey would be the only one that would just get customers standing at th counter for 10+ minutes to watch the end of the period before they'D head home to watch the rest.

I got into Ice Hockey after playing several hundred hours of EA Ice Hockey on the MegaDrive, and saw quite a few games being played locally. Then a Canadian team were doing some games here and that was a real eye opener about how hopelessly outclassed local teams are :)

OK folks - what are games that inspired you to get into a real world activity?

Playing the ATV games got me into quad bikes, I bloody love driving quad bikes now.
