Edit: Or friday morning.

Finished Portal 2. Brilliant game all round. Great writing, voice acting, pacing, level design, everything.
Certainly not a game you want spoiled and I'm glad that I paid no attention to most of the pre-release stuff (that was mainly because I wasn't really interested in playing Portal 2 up until last Saturday).
Anyway, stop reading this and go play/finish Portal 2 if you haven't already.
Also, I'm up for some co-op this weekend if anyone wants to play.

People are out getting drunk or asleep? I know I was trying to sleep, big drive today. I would say quite a few other people are going away for the weekend as well.justin.au said:

Isn't it awesome that Agnostics/Atheists get Easter as well!
Fuck, I forgot my saves are all located in the stupid windows location so my NFS ones are gone.
It also seems like i have no autolog recommendations? Isn't that why i'm forced to sigh in to your shitty service EA, So you can store this shit online and track it?!

After-work drinks yesterday, everyone clinks and says cheers to the long weekend. I cap it off by saying 'Thanks for dying, Jesus!' and it goes down like a fart in Church.reptilescorpio said:
Tried to drop the smug arseholish out of my atheism ever since I tought philosophy of science at uni and had to deal with the type of kids who are totally into atheism/skepticism as a badge of honour and spout stuff they've seen or read from Penn and Teller, Derren Brown or Richard Dawkins (even though I have an appreciation for each of those to varying degree).
The know-it-all atheist is just as much a pain in the arse as the creationist kid.
As for celebrating holidays which have zero meaning to me - I'm totally down with having a few days off and an excuse to gorge myself on yum yums. I see the religious connotation as part of the mythology and have no problem with shopping centers with nativity scenes or religious imagery - it makes the world a more colourful place and people should stop being so precious. Santa is about as real as God(s) yet he's allowed on cartoon shows for kids yet Jesus isn't. How boring.

My son gets to wear a bunny costume and we all get chocolate. Everybody's happy. I'm agnostic but I have a few athiest friends who go over the top about it. They are fine with every other topic of conversation but if someone tells them they are catholic BAM. Lecture bomb of knowledge and doucheyness comes flowing out. One of them has lost a few jobs by putting down the wrong people.Bernbaum said:
Also the rest we get the time off is for easter so I'm not going to go around saying "happy holidays" instead of "happy easter". Same with christmas.

Happy holidays sounds kind of stupid imo. It's more of an American saying isn't it?

Yes. It's because they have large populations of people who don't celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, so don't want to offend. Makes sense to me.roosters93 said:

Yeah it definitely makes sense, I just don't hear many people say it over here so it's weird when I do.codswallop said:

Hey Shaneus, did NBA2k11 ever come? What'd you think?

evolvefish.com google ads. Stay classy.
Yeah, it arrived... seemingly fairly quickly, too! Haven't installed as I'm still powering through Operation Backlog (or at least, trying to) but I've heard awesome things about it... mostly from big basketball fans. Pretty sure it's the first basketball game I've bought since NBA Jam on the Megadrive so I'm sure I'll be blown away, regardless of how good it actually is!roosters93 said:
Hey AusGAF,
Sorry for posting this, but can you guys do me a favour?
My friend is asking for some responses for her assignment, it's about ethics and religion...
So could I ask you guys to help me and her out, by filling it out?
You don't have to do it... but it would be awesome of you all

Who's going to not tick murder and assault and all the obvious ones? Seems a little redundant.

If your friend wants to get at that then she shouldn't use the term Murder, she should use Military Kills/Deaths (but make the phrase more coherent).

I apologise for the poorly worded survey, it's limited to what I was presented with... so I guess make use of that? Sorry
It's just seems a bit limiting. Rather than being open-ended enough that I could discuss my views in full it's questions force me to narrow them down, which is good for allowing the collating of results to be a painless affair, but not good for getting the respondent's whole view.
I've got work tonight for some unknown reason. There's no Lateline or Lateline Business videos to post since the shows aren't on today, or any 7.30 so I dunno what I'll be doing since its a video shift and that's pretty much all I do. Yay for working Good Friday?
Anyone else working today?

I just saw Thor as well. I hated it. Thor started out as a dick and never redeemed himself. Also, Loki was all over the place as far as bad guys go.Rezbit said:
Natalie Portman's character and that of her friend were basically unnecessary too.

Don't worry there is still plenty of long weekend left, aka play games till Monday evening, then feel guilty and stressed all throughout Tuesday.

Play Alpha Protocol, then Puzzle Agent. Also join Rahk, X3no5, Kritz and me in our Neverwinter Nights 2 journey.

Alpha Protocol - pistols and stealth psychopath run, it entails trying to earn everyone's trust with ethically balanced decisions early on in the game then doing a complete 180 and become a egotistic petty murderer that's always finding the best ways to piss of your handlers.
everyone who's played the game should try this run out atleast once
Got my copy of shogun 2 from ozgameshop yesterday, Anyone here dig the multiplayer? soon as im done with portal 2 ill pop that in and play the whole long weekend

Prince of Persia 2008 is pretty good fun. Everyone bitched about the 'die and immediately taken back to the last jump' mechanic but I didn't find it any different to other similar games.
Then move onto BioShock, since you can pick up the sequel dirt cheap and you'll probably want to because you'll enjoy the first.
Bonus: Both are relatively short and you can feel some sense of accomplishment.

So Portal 2, It's ok but not great.
Like that surprises anyone.
I haven't actually finished it but i've gotten to the point where i don't even feel like it. It's starting to drag on a little too much and i have no energy for it. I think i will finish it before the 5 day holiday ends, A day or two break might get me back in the mood for it.

I guess i'm just trying to be nice towards it ;D
I'm mixed towards the game. It clearly does some things really well but fuck there are some frustrating ideas going on there.
Portal was a great length, It was simple and to the point, Here's your 19 levels, go and have fun. This feels like they are just trying to throw in more levels to stretch it out so it's more of a full length game you can pay $50 for but it only makes the game less interesting and more frustrating.
I was honestly enjoying the game up until some point. I'm not too sure what it might have been but i'm guessing it was around
the time you start dicking around with the 3 gels
I've never been burnt out on a game so quickly, It's a strange feeling.
