It would have more people playing it if EA didn't shove it out the week after BF1 and before COD. It's a really good game..

Titanfall 2 was always going to struggle with that release date. Absolute death spot.
After a heavily hyped revamp of a highly successful MP FPS.
Before an insanely popular yearly MP FPS franchise where quality is unimportant.
Release date as an absolute worst case scenario for Respawn. They obviously had ZERO say over it.

Idiotic timing.
Yeah...looking forward to that. But Valve going to Valve with timing and saying absolutely nothing.
Also, I started playing FM17.... :<
Pre-purchase to play the 'beta'.
Ahh, I hope you submit a thorough bug report then!
Oh god, I've basically done zero organisation for PAX this year. No idea what times I'm getting there or leaving, when I'm doing my enforcer thing (retro gaming area, come say hi!) or anything else.
Buying a house and getting married within a month of each other does that, I guess.

They wouldn't take it back?
Thanks! Thankfully it's a small wedding and the house we're moving into is literally next door to the current terrace house we're currently renting, so moving should be a cinch.
Also, because of the house's proximity to the street, I can get iiNet cable again!
Yeah, you might have more luck if you ask for an exchange rather than a straight refund too.
EDIT: Oh, you've already tried to get a refund.
No they wouldn't.
I even asked if I could swap it for a ps4 camera and he made a joke stating that they can do that if I paid $40 extra
Saw dr strange. It's certaintly a visual treat, outside of that....well. It's my first marvel/superhero movie since.... idk, iron man 2/3? and nothing has changed. I was hoping it'd end after the first hour and a bit because it had already felt like I've seen all the effects.
Also Mads with all that eye makeup/hair
In my head he's Hannibal and seeing him like that was really jarring.

That sadly tells me all I need to know. I'm so bored of the standard super hero formula despite only having seen every second one of the Marvel films. At least they all basically meet a certain bar of quality so fans can be pleased.
I think the next film I'm going to see at the cinemas is Arrival.

TF2. Campaign is excellent. Even if you didn't want MP, the Campaign is worth playing.
BF1. Campaign is pretty ordinary. It's basically infinitely-spawning enemies with solemn voice-overs and few checkpoints.
Multi
TF2. Very good but hasn't hit out of the park as much I was expecting. More accurately, I spent most of the weekend playing really, really badly in most matches which is usual, but I used to do OK in TF1 matches so this was a downer. Game itself is great.
BF1. Well, I still played it this weekend. Will be interesting to see if I can play both during the week when my gaming time is more limited. BF1's problem is you can have a really good game, then a really crushingly frustrating game, then good, then frustrating, and so on.
but yeah, fuck EA for the timing of the release of TF2

Lesson learnt, price match at eb and use their no questions asked return policy going forward for games you are unsure on.

Just occured to me to give y'all a heads up if anyone is interested
Danoss if you still ever pop in
The producer behind The Genius has a new show out at the moment called Society Game.
Bumdidlyumptious is subbing it too.
It's reminiscent of Survivor. Less celebrities than the Genius. I've only watched the first episode so far but I think after getting all the intro out of the way it will get even better from here on out.
Should be good! Seems to be getting good reviews and Denis Villeneuve has a solid track record (Prisoners, Sicario, Enemy dude)

Well everyone is in full blown gambling mode today at work.
The admin team here, which usually sets up sweeps, has changed during the year and nobody bothered to set anything up, it seems.
Hence nothing's happening this year. I wish I'd asked earlier, as I'd have been happy to run the sweeps if I had some time to prepare. Had too many other commitments today to sort things out otherwise.

Half your luck. i just had to cancel our $5 sweep due to an under-subscription. Just $2 and $1 left.
I never gamble. kind of ruined my parents relationship so i always knew to stay away from it. Glad i did too because my brother is pretty bad with it also.
So i ended up getting skyrim remaster from big w, couldnt help myself. ALso received a message from xbl for all the gears games again even though i got codes in the actual game disc..so if anyone wants some gears codes i have them for all four games.

So fancy. Our top one was $2, even had a 50cent one this year.
I'd like gow4 if you'd be so kind.
Sorry i meant gears-gears judgement. Didnt actually get a gears 4 code.

Let's Elope and Makybe Diva don't really strike fear into the heart though
I could see Makybe Diva as a mech in one of the macross series though. They could probably engrish Let's Elope to fit the series too if they really wanted to.

Anyone here have experience with the timeframe involved in getting an Australian Passport? I'm considering paying the extra $120 or however much it is to get it fast-tracked.
From memory (dating back a few years now) it was going to take 3 weeks to get mine so i fast tracked it and i got it quite quick. Dont fast track it if you dont need to, save your money. Receiving it in the mail is such a nice feeling. Something about finally getting a passport is so rewarding...especially if its your first one.

I had to get two back in 2013 (loooong story) but it's generally pretty fast without fast-tracking unless you are travelling in three days. If you've left it till the last minute, you might have to eat the fee.

back when i did online multi I only did TF2 (that'st team fortress 2, not the other one) and that community was great mostly... i've always felt like this was an 'other country' thing? but probably an 'other game' thing or a 'ur a lucky target demo' thing...

Friday is my PAX day this year, so maybe dinner or drinks or whatever if that's also happening Friday.
There's also cookie's spreadsheet thing.

It usually takes however long they say it takes AT WORST.
I got my last one quicker than what they said it would take. The expedited process is for people who have to travel as an emergency. How pressed are you for time?

Yep that sounds like me. Drinks after pax on Friday roughly 7/8 start I guess. Somewhere good, which is probably penny blue or beer deluxe. I have some work dinner thing beforehand. Already in attendance, myself, cods, Rezbit, cruncho, Richard Jones, mte?
