I'm going to wait for it to come out on PS+ (plus the Target sale increased my backlog substantially anyway). Looking forward to it though.

Man I've a huge backlog and games like Siege and BF1 already take a significant chunk out of my available game time. Don't know how I'll ever be able to truly get stuck into my backlog once I go back to work.
Lucky. We were meant to be closing for 2 weeks because we had no work, went through redundancies and now we are flat out. Kinda sucks.

That blows.
Same, I was tempted to pick up overwatch when it was $35usd last week but then I thought when would I play it.
Dang.
My wife will only get the federal public holidays over the break, so working most days.
They said a few months ago they were bringing in some temp people to help share the load and then she found out they're all being put on the arvo shift, while she works 7am-12...

What are my options if I want to buy some nice sunnies?
Like if I look at sunglass hut online some Ray Bans are $200+, should I expect sales around Christmas or is that just what I need to pay for a good pair?

You just missed out on 30% off ray bans. I picked a $260 up for $180 odd and im really happy with them. Im "signed up" to their newsletter now so if i get any deals through my email ill let you know.
I can barely think of 10 games I even played this year. In no order, games I enjoyed this year:
No Man's Sky
Lumines iOS
Rez Infinite
Doom
F1 2016
Carmageddon
Automobilista
That's about it. At least, all I can think of that I put time into and actually remembered.

God damn it.
I liked Firewatch. Was that this year?
I also liked Civ 6 and am liking Tyranny so far.
I meant to buy Firewatch, but figured I wasn't gaming enough this year to justify it. Pretty sure it came out in Feb? Probably will buy eventually, just like The Witness.

5. Pokemon Go
6. Dragon Quest VII
7. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth

I expect Steins;Gate 0, Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian to drop the last three off the list though.

Oh wow look at all those $20 pairs. I assume they're just a hunk of glass that offer no eye protection?
Their Ray Bans don't seem to be any cheaper than elsewhere.

The only game I've played this year that released this year is Ori and the Blind Forest Definitive Edition. And that's a re-release.
Edit: Oh wait, did Reigns come out this year? Maybe that too. And I loaded up Deus Ex Go but haven't played it yet.

Hey, that's four hours I could spend downloading a day one patch!
In all seriousness though, I rarely buy indie games because inevitably the ones I do buy get released on PS+ anyway. The only exception I've made recently was for SOMA, so expect that to be a PS+ game in Dec or Jan

Yes I know they're a ripoff but I still want a cool pair.

sounds dumb i'm gonna go crash the car that'll show them
yeah you need to. find some practice questions too cos, unless it's changed, i remember the test being real finicky about when you touch the screen n stuff.
I'd play Arcade Mode, but that would mean having to download like 60 GB again.

Okay guys what the fuck. So we just decided to order some delivered pizza for dinner here in outer London where we're staying, and all the big chains (Pizza Hut, Domino's, Papa John's etc) all cost an UNGODLY amount for their likely average tasting pizzas.
Domino's and their competitors (co-conspirators) wanted £18.50 for a regular pizza.
£18.50. $31AUD+. Absolutely SPEECHLESS. How much would this cost back home? $5AUD? Before you use a 40% coupon of course.

yup. very expensive shitty Pizza in the UK. At least try Pizza Express (usually eat in) or get one of the bike delivery courier places like Eat or deliveroo to get you something good from a non chain. So much good food if you stay away from the chains.
Food in general is insane there. I remember my auntie saying even just a big Mac was like dining in at a restaurant for a full meal here.
What is the price of a 1TB SSD nowadays?
In my experience food was ao expensive. £20 pounds i paid for a burger (no fries) and one beer at some burger joint. Cant recall the name..but yeh that equates to around $33 where i could easily get the same for around $20 in sydney, probably less.

I am doing work for the dole. The place I was doing it at in the past, and continue to volunteer at, disappeared from the books of the job agency as a place they can send people. The job agency refused to add it back as a location and at times denied that it was ever on their list. So I was sent somewhere else. The old place has been trying to get added back.
The old place is relevant to my education and experience. The new place is not. It's a fine place but it's really not helping me.
Today, four months on, the job agency saw on my record that it was a valid workplace that was on their list and that they had sent me there. SOMETHING I TOLD THEM MANY TIMES FROM THE START! And they had a talk with their manager...and came back and said that it's too late to change now with just two months left. Considering I was telling them this from the start, it sucks that when they figured out I was telling the truth that they call it "too late".
I rang back afterwards, not trying to get it changed, but to make a complaint that they hadn't been listening to me for this time or assumed I was lying and only figure out what I was saying when they call it 'too late' to change. They said the manager will call me back at some time, "maybe not this week".
It feels now like they just wasted 650 hours of my life by failing to listen to me or believe me.

$350-$600 locally, so online is a good idea.
That link is in USD, so it'd be $350 AUD.
EDIT: the 480GB on that link is pretty great too, $173 AUD delivered.

Yeah. My girlfriend could fill a book up with how much they've fucked her and her family around. Striking her payments for not showing up to an appointment when she was sitting in the lobby waiting to be seen is one, and has happened way more than once.
Well it went back up then, showing as $245 USD on Amazon.
Sounds like a real crappy time. I had to deal with centrelink briefly when i finished school for about 6 months befote i found an apprenticeship. It was painful and they got me maybe 2 days work the whole time. When i finally found a full time job they kept contacting me asking me why i wasnt showing up to appointments etc even though i clearly told them i was working and i wanted to cancel my payments etc. A lot less frustrating than your situation though.

Wow.
So I live in the inner suburbs of Newcastle. My neighbour has (or rather had) a chook pen in the bottom of his yard.
Sometime this afternoon it seems a fox broke in and slaughtered the lot of em and ran off with one of the corpses to feast.
A fox. Or at least thats what he suspects. I've never seen a fox in my life. Am kind of stunned that this could even happen in inner Newcastle. I figured if anything it might be a feral cat.
Still kind of stunned.
