Yeah, 7 and a half is the perfect age.MrSerrels said:
1/2+7= the golden rule.
Vook is up with the 19.5 year olds. I went out with a 18 year old and they're just way too immature. Maybe not in the way speak or present themselves, but in the way they act.
My Girlfriend is older than me, lol.
Don't the other kids ask say 'Jeez your Dad is young when you pick them up from Primary School?'.

This sentence can be used to compare any game with Crackdown 2.Shaneus said:
except Crackdown 1 
Have I mentioned how much I love DarkStar One today? Because it's incredible. I haven't sunk this much time into a game since Crackdown.
I am fixing bugs today. Hug your local QA tester today, those poor bastards go through hell on a daily basis :/

I don't think the $40 InFamous2 Deal of the Day actually happened. I went to the page with about 30 seconds to go, watched the countdown hit zero and the item became greyed out. There's no fucking way that it sold out in under 1 second.
Considering the regularly-priced game is in stock and plentiful I'm guessing it never took place.Planet_JASE said:

Yeah, I even went to each InFamous2 listing to see if the price changed on those but they never did. I'm slightly glad because it will become cheaper very soon and I'm in no rush to play it, either. Still, if it didn't happen I'm slightly disappointed in OzGameShop.Shaneus said:
Then again it could have been scooped up by some bots, I guess.

I already did. I said a couple of pages back when everyone was talking about co-op that people could add me as I'm currently playing it, too.Shaneus said:

PlanetJASE. Anyone can feel free to add me. If nothing else, it will be nice to have a friend or two on my list to make me not feel foreveralone.jpg whenever I see "You currently have no friends" on those leaderboard pages.Shaneus said:

-1 for GeelongGAF
+1 for WarrnamboolGAF
Start next week, getting trained up so it doesn't matter that I have no idea what the job is about and the Regional Manager was so impressed that she intends to have me in the head office in Melbourne eventually. Full time money! Yay! Going out to dinner with the woman to celebrate.
At least Colours was worth the purchase. Looking doubtful that I will grab Generations though, same with Sonic 4. At the same time Sonic 4 isn't going for full price like most Nintendo games.

$68!?! Well, I suppose you get an Ocarina for $23 so that isn't too bad.VOOK said:
This is exactly why street dates are important. Consumers would get screwed in the arse price wise as long as they can get the game early. Silly consumers, think about the savings! Control your impulses!codswallop said:
I could say that about the majority of Nintendo games but that just shows that people who enjoy Nintendo games get exactly what they want. Nintendo cater to their audience perfectly which I think should be commended. You know exactly what you are getting with a Nintendo product (aside from the Other M debacle).Shaneus said:

Yep awesome news. Means Valve will have a lot more hassle with hackers as the penalty for getting banned doesn't include the cost of the game now but it means hats are now worthless as people can farm accounts for drops without buying the game again. Also even more likely that dota2 will be F2P.Kritz said:
What new games? 3rd parties have fucked up big time with the 3DS. Hopefully they don't ignore it completely what with the focus on the Wii U coming up. Would hate for it to become a port machine.Shaneus said:
Congrats! We might even get to be train buddies if you score something in Melbourne.reptilescorpio said:
Yeah, you have an excellent point there. I just don't see the appeal given that I'm hardly an N-fan. Shit, the last game I bought for the DS was the Sonic Anniversary Collection (but only for the classic Sonic figurine).
Colours really worth getting? I've asked elsewhere, but is it only the DS version that's decent or is the Wii one alright as well? BTW If you've only played the Generations demo on the PS3, play it on the 360 as well. It plays WAY better... so much so, I was ready to write it off completely until I got the demo from XBL.Only morons buy the crappy Sonic remakes...
So I've noticed... as far as launch titles go, it's been ridiculously lackluster. From what I've seen (or noticed, ze fanboy goggles do everything) almost everything seems to be a 3D upgrade of what would've normally appeared on the DS.

How much do you pay to be not-free? Like the old full RRP for tf2 or something?jambo said:
Both versions are fantastic. Especially if you can run Dolphin on your PC for the Wii version. Picked up the DS version at launch for a Sonic hat and the game was totally worth full EB price.Shaneus said:
reptilescorpio said:
From the FAQ
So I suppose you could have 5 accounts and buy something cheap in each of them and use them to farm.

Sonic Colours Wii is god damn awesome, plus I got a Sonic hat =D

$54 for the pre-order, but now that it's out I'd hope it'd stay around that...

I decided to pass on Infamous 2 and ordered A Crack In Time and Shadows of the Damned instead.

Love my Sonic hat, the boy thinks it is hilarious.
Seems like that Infamous 2 sale never happened. Seems like they need to work out the kinks in that new system, nothing on their twitter about it either. Did see that Ghostbusters is $21 on 360 though, tempting.
Going to check out Myer tonight as apparently some have been selling the PSPGo 16Gb for $150. Would be a great CFW pick up. Also GAME has Vanquish on both consoles for $18 inc. free postage, if you haven't already bought it DO IT NOW BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME.
Each new Meet The video gets bigger and better. Hope they go back and expand the first few. Actually screw that, make a full-length movie. I know I won't be the only one who would pay good money for that.
Also Arma 2 going F2P? Have to pay for High Definition Graphics? So is the F2P one dx9 only or what did they do?

Lara Croft Guardians of Light is only $3.74 on Gamersgate and it redeems on Steam, haven't played it before but for that price I thought I would give it a try.

Thanks Clipper. I didn't know about some of those particulars. It still seems like they could've gone further, but I think the 3DS itself is the limiter in that respect.Clipper said:
It's really good fun if you have someone else to play it with.Sutton Dagger said:

Yeah, it is. I played about half way through on my own, and then teamed up with someone else from the start. It's much better with two, but still good with one.Yoshiya said:

I enjoy the fact that the Sonic Attack Force and Sonic Defence Force are seemingly made up of about 97% of the same people. They go through their cyclical bouts of bi-polar positioning on the franchise which means that they are in a constant battle with each other.
"We hate everything that's new but reserve the right to idolise a game franchise that has a 1:20 good-to-bad-game-ratio. While we will likely hate everything that's been produced since Sonic 2, you do not have the right to complain because you haven't been there since the start. You don't get it, so don't say anything. If you knew what you were talking about you would agree that Sonic doesn't feel right despite the fact that 'right' sonic makes up the minority in his own games. Fuck it, though, we have high hopes for this game because a Sega Community Manager and PR minion said that this game is going back to basics and it sounds like everything is back on track so this new game will be good. I'm so hyped about this new game because it looks like the old stuff and the old stuff is the good stuff. Don't say it's going to be bad because we've been promised that it's going to be good and while we may have heard that before we need to believe them so that we have something to look forward to and even though the demo does not give us any indication that the final code will ever, ever live up to our expectations!!! Arrrrrgh FANRAGE!!"
They entertain me.

PSP Go supports CFW? Shit, I might get one for that price, would definitely be an upgrade over the 1000.reptilescorpio said:
PS. No points from Fishpond today, so I sent them a "Contact Us" thing regarding my order.
Fucking pissed too... was hoping to use those points on some Double Fine XBLA goodness. Anyone know any sites that mail out codes that are cheap?

gamecard.com.au. They accept payment via PayPal and will email the code once they funds are verified. It may take an hour, it may take a day or two, depending on the day of week that you place the order.Shaneus said:

We don't get cheap cards. Most of the time you end up paying slightly more than the price through XBL or the same price. The only time you get cheap points is if you're willing to go through what you have with Fishpond. We can't win over here. We can't even take advantage of cheap importing prices when it comes to points (As I unfortunately found out).Shaneus said:Decent prices, though? I thought they were pretty much the same as retail and on XBL.
Edit: Not that much cheaper
I think what it really comes down to is whether or no you want Microsoft to lock your credit card details in their system.
Sorry
Pssh it's a smaller model than the Millenium Falconjambo said:
Sadly Lego don't produce that model any more :-( But you can get it second hand and it's a damn fun time building it
