I had the Roccat Kone (not the [+]) and it was great until the scroll wheel broke. It was a known common fault that is meant to be fixed on the [+] model. I graduated from a G5>G9>Kone and it is the best mouse I have used. Strangely enough, my warranty replacement (which I assume is the Kone [+]) is in the mail to me now.remz said:
Das Keyboards and the Filco Majestouch are great mechanical keyboards and would be my first place to go to grab one (if not grabbing a buckling spring KB that is still in production). I have a Razer BlackWidow Ultimate as my room is dark as hell during the day and needed a backlit keyboard.
Anyway, rambling aside, nice pick-ups.

A black Wii with Mario kart, the wheel and I think two controllers for $225 at Costco.

$149 at dse I think.
My sidewinder had a pretty terrible middle mouse button too. It's hard for me to pinpoint why I like it so much, but I think it's a nice compromise size between the massive X8 and the minuscule G9, and fits my hand far better then either.Fredescu said:
The mouse itself has a pleasant soft touch surface to it too, which I really appreciate and is a comfortable shapes. Plenty of buttons on it, but not button overload some of the ridiculous razer stuff, and it has this nifty easy shift thing that gives all the buttons different functions when held. (using that as a substitute media keys atm... which is awesome)
It's just a solid mouse IMO. apart from the bizzare voice that plays when I use the mouse to adjust PC speaker volume/change dpi

Steve Fielding, take a bow.

You haven't done much for me over the course of your political career, but this is a boss exit.

From the article.
Family First states on its website climate change has been occurring "since time immemorial"... So 6000 years right?

Anyone want a copy of Time Gentlemen, Please! let me know. Best point and click adventures since the glory days of Lucasarts.
all international flights in sydney in and out cancelled until 3pm where it will be re-evaluated
that will delay your OOTs i imagine
also
i watched the aircrash investigations video into BA flight 9 where the volcanic ash made all its engines fail
the airlines are making the right decisions i believe after watching that.

A couple of mates came over last night to borrow some sound and lighting gear and one of them was talking about his work. He works as a Site Engineer for an engineering and building company and he was complaining about how the Indian engineers they had on site were a bit useless. One of them was on the phone and walked in to traffic, almost getting hit.
He wasn't being racist, but then my housemate chimed in saying "they're not as useless as the Asians!" and then started pidgeonholing 4 billion people as useless and stupid. Me and my mate both piped up and said how we'd gone to school with a lot of smart people who were asian and we were mates with, but he then started going on about how there were so many immigrants in Australia and how few "real Australians" there must be left.
I was like .__.

I can't watch those shows, I already have an irrational fear of heights/flying. I'm absolutely dreading the flight to Europe at the end of the year

Ahhh I hate that shit, and the scary thing is, that mentality is really common. I met up with a school friend a few months ago, and he was telling me about some boxing show that he was watching and mentioned how good this Aboriginal fighter was. Though instead of saying Aboriginal he used 'Abo' (A racial term I particularly hate considering my ties to the Aboriginal community) and I shut that shit down straight away, I'm not putting up with that shit.

Scaremongering at its best!Choc said:
but yes this current cloud is certainly worth grounding over
Yeah it was a random game, government funded too I think? They have delayed the 3rd Ben & Dan game to make sure they do it right. I have faith in them.Fogz said:

Steam friend me man, reptilescorpio. P&C Adventure all round!Shaneus said:
Also their first game is freeware
Did he say it in a certain tone of voice or was he shortening Aboriginal? Most of the times I can tell if someone is being racist when they use a collective word like Abos rather than talking about someone as an individual. Gives me the shits when I'm talking to someone who is obviously talking about one person but generalises a whole race of people over it. Thankfully Indian students here have become a bit more accepted over the last 12 months, got really bad at one point. I hate generalisations so fucking much. Would be nice to live in a world where everyone was looked at for their actions rather than their heritage.Sutton Dagger said:

Fuck off, the house is awesome, it's the housemate who can go :lol
Funnily enough he might be "moving out" soon. Two of my housemates, let's call them A and B, are on holiday in the US at the moment. The one who's still at home with me, let's call him C, is the younger brother of B.
I got an email from B yesterday telling me that C hadn't paid any rent/bills money to A&B for the last 2 weeks. C has been buying food and worked a few shifts, but A&B haven't seen any money from C and he hasn't said anything to them or to me.
B basically said that when they get back, she'll talk to their father about C either moving somewhere else, or back home, seeing as he can't pay a measly $150 a week.
=D

You should touch the shit out of them. Especially if you like witty point and click adventure games that is like a love letter to the genre and its past.Cohsae said:
B sounds like a hottie. Also $150 a week for 4 people, you live right in town? Rent was so cheap in Geelong, was paying $70 in a 3 bedroom place. Lara is expensive though considering it is the middle of nowhere.jambo said:

Definitely the snide tone denoting a distaste for Aboriginal people. Though I understand there is a certain tone associated with using 'Abo' in a racist sense, I still take issue with the abbreviated 'Abo' anyway. I think most people in Australia are aware of the negative connotations of the abbreviated word 'Abo' and should strive not to use it given its historical context, same with 'Jap' etc.

Yeah we shouldn't have to use the term at all, if someone needs to refer to the race of people they should just say Aboriginal. Or use the persons name.Sutton Dagger said:
Don't you get scared at night with all the creepy silence? If not you should watch more horror movies. Also it is awesome having someone to rant to. Also cooking, would never bother making a roast just for myself. Shit even bacon & eggs is borderline a hassle for one person considering how long it takes to make versus the 30 seconds it takes to eat.Shaneus said:

I don't think I'd be able to live by myself. Almost every night my housemates and I will play cricket, or cook some food together and have some wine or beers, play video games or just hang out.
Plus if you want some alone time you just go to your room, whereas if I was living alone and wanted to hang out with someone there's no guarantee that someone would be able to come around. This way we get the best of both worlds.

Near town, about 5-10 minute drive. The place we're renting is a brand new 2 storey townhouse with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms (2 of which are en-suites), and 3 large open living areas, as well as a paved back yard area with a small garden.
It's $495 a week, so split between 4 people it's about $125. Add on bills and you get $150. Everyone except for C has a full time job, so while we're completely comfortable paying rent and bills, it's just that C sometimes falls behind and it's not the first time.

Yeah, it always sucks when you accidentally find out someone is a racist.
It's like, things are going along smoothly, you think you're meeting a cool new person, then BAM racist
