Steam weekly sales, daily sales and steam in general are killing my wallet.
So with Duke Nukem going gold and all that, I was reading up on whether it got censored here for shits and giggles and found this: http://resources.news.com.au/files/...6111-news-pdf-duke-nukem-forever-20110328.pdf
And while my interest in the game is one of pure nostalgia for Duke 3D, I want to know how it ever passed the censors uncut.
Just another example of the ACBs laughable consistency.
Edit: should mention that the link is slightly spoilery.

Legend, have you heard anything about your flights and the erupting volcano? Might want to keep an eye on things, though it's not meant to be anywhere near as bad as the last one.
Here's something I've always just assumed and not really thought about:
The standard of writing in print usually exceeds that of online outlets.
That said, I still don't give a rat's arse about reviews and previews and it's the topical features, opinion pieces, retrospectives and interviews that grab my attention. Those are the nuggets gaming journalism that benefit from the luxury of time afforded by adhering to a print timetable. Writers can put some thought and research into their work as opposed to vomiting out slapped-together diarrea in order to keep up with the online news cycle.
The online arena has levelled the playing field between professional writers and Halo_Fan_93 and it doesn't take much time reading IGN and Gamespot to realise that the opinions and authority of the Greg Millers and Halo_Fan_93's of this world are about on par.

It may be bigger, but apparently won't cause as much of a problem for air traffic.jambo said:

Butting heads with the DOM in JavaScript is surprisingly rewarding.
Also, learning about server-side scripting has made the Internet a whole lot less magical. It's a shame we're taught ColdFusion in this course, PHP seems much more useful.

Legend: Just a thought... you have insurance on your trip, right? If not, probably a good time to buy some.

It will cause me much pain if it delays my copy of L.A. Noire.Choc said:
I finished LA Noire last night
man the middle of the game draaaaaaaaaaaaaags on but the ending is ok and overall the game is pretty good
the thing is the first four or five hours its awesome, its like wow this is so cool and new but then past that it seems a bit samey, as if they were afraid from mixing things up to much
towards the end of the game something happens which is cool, i just wish they had done that earlier, or more of it.

Wife works for an insurance company and tells me that if you had insurance prior to 22nd May, you would be covered.Choc said:

have you tried just having one caffeine drink (even a weak tea) in the morning for a bit before going cold turkey? Might help the withdrawl symp...
I feel like a diet coke. I'm going to the fridge. I might be some time

Yeah, we used to use Covermore as well. They're alright if you want basic cover.Choc said:
The wife works for QBE who underwrite a whole heap of other insurers (but are obviously a bit more expensive). If we'd been with QBE on our last trip I could've had some expensive equipment replaced that the Covermore policy just laughed at.

If you have lots of sugar in coffee (or sugary drinks ala Red Bull or Coke), then the lack of sugar probably isn't helping either. In that case, maybe a Sprite or something to get some sugar in could help.ClivePwned said:

caffeine free Diet pepsi is ok
Good on ya man. I gave up caffeine years ago and felt so much better for it. I know the headaches are splitting, but it is so worth persevering through them. If anything, those headaches are a great indication of how bad that shit is for you on a regular basis.MrSerrels said:
You will soon realise the regular "kick" it gave you in the morning was non-existent. All it did was bring you up to the level you would have been at if you weren't addicted to caffeine and didn't have any. I hope that made sense.
You may also note that water is the king of all drinks. Milk is good too.
I do have the occasional coke/pepsi with a mixed drink, but prefer to avoid it if possible. Tea on the other hand is great, though I only have a few glasses a week (more of a pleasure drink than a habit). One good thing about green, oolong and white tea, is they are quite low in caffeine and offer it as a slow release, rather than as a hit.

Pretty much the same here. Although it wasn't specifically pepsi max, Just general soft drink.
I'm not 100% sure what caused me to stop drinking it, I think it might have been because my teeth suck so much, Now i'm a 99% water man.
There's the rare occasion when I will feel like a soft drink, maybe once a month if that and i will go for it.
