No problem. If you need to read something to make you feel a bit better, read TRMK.org.
The MK Australia Ban topic is on the front page and it shows a lot of people even have the game right now in Australia. Crazy stuff.
I'm hoping mine arrives, I was too scared to go courier shipping this time since my experience with Silent Hill Homecoming.
Well I guess when you quote Ozymandias like that, it's hard to be surprised that people thought I actually made that, which I didn't.
CadburyCreme/Cupcake/Abortion came from BoingBoing.

Back from the journey. Was pretty humbling in all. Mix of fun and serenity (as it was for my grandparent's ash scattering), and a small amount of all consuming fear of wood's ability to remain buoyant.
We ended up in a little crevice by Bruny Island, which is like 5km or so off the main bit of Tasmania. Not far, could still see land on both sides.
I have quite a lot of photos that I'll cherry pick and post links to.

Here's a few more images
Nothing special. Just a few random snaps.
A few notes:
The beer was brewed by my cousin's boyfriend and was pretty decent.
The shot with the lady was on the cabin at the top of the ship. She was showing me a few awards and locations the boat has been.
The one inside is below sea level, the crew living area. It was really small, but also really nice. You'd have no problem living there for a week.
I got to go into the captian's bedroom and see the ship's cat, and a few medals and stuff. Was interesting. Forgot to get a shot of the cat before it ducked out of sight.
We had about 25 people on board, but they say it can fit 65 as the maximum. No idea where you'd throw all those people.
And, yeah, a few random people on boats drove up to say hi and see what the family was doing.
Was fun.

Oh hai AusGAF.
Just got back to Sydney after 5 days at my parents farm without mobile phones, cable tv or internet.
Did I miss anything?

Oh yeh I forgot about the portals!
One thing I miss about not living on the farm is setting things on fire.
I made this in honour of Jesus etc last night before we left.

Hamilton! To the only chemist open yesterday, f you! $32 for a can of baby forumula? God this place sucks balls.
Also the only place that had Portal 2 was Harvey Norman. For $110. Dick Smith don't get it in until next Thursday, must have broken a street date in the past. Also the local Video Ezy had it for rental (all out) and every other new release for purchase but no Portal 2. Balls. Rediscovering my love for long-necked beer though. Get drunk quicker because you don't want it to go flat!
Strangely enough OzGameShop has Mortal Kombat available. Soooo tempting.
fucking dreary
I will never forget my Son's milk powder again.
Sounds like you need to play Curse of Monkey Island. Did you enjoy Assassin's Creed 2?evlcookie said:There's a good chance I have no ideal game
DA2 is poop. You need The Witcher. Stat. Also make sure to grab the COMPLETE mod for Stalker, must have. Night and day.Jintor said:

It's 5 bucks cheaper from Zavvi, it's on the way to my place now
EDIT: Well, it used to be 5 bucks cheaper, they hiked up the price by a whole 2 pounds!

Do you mean would a Game & Watch game be good on the 3DS? There is a kind of soccer mini game hidden in the music player that looks like a Game & Watch game.Gazunta said:
Also I tried a Cadbury Creme Egg for I think the first time today (or first time I can remember). Am I miss something, it was really way too sweet, I'll stick with my Crunchie Cadbury chocolate bar me thinks.

Things i need to stop doing, Looking at xbmc skins.
It makes me want a htpc xbmc setup which would require me to buy a rack for storage, then the proper audio equipment, the actual htpc, media storage and maybe a projector. Then I need to put all of that into a location so I need a house or apartment.
The only thing stopping me from doing this is that I would be required to rob a bank and that isn't going to happen

Orrrr.. buy an AppleTV, jailbreak it, install XBMC and have a lo-fi version of a HTPC setup. (Although the files still need to be stored elsewhere)evlcookie said:Things i need to stop doing, Looking at xbmc skins.

Not ideal, but pretty cheap.
You may get more responses asking in the official AFL thread.Nedjoe said:
I don't know of any personally, but we do have a few international members who've had the same issues and have gotten assistance.
Wanting something like this myself, though a HTPC is just too expensive. This year's Apple TV revision (if there is one, hopefully) should do 1080p easily and still be tiny and silent (and $100) so I'll probably wait for that. My media generally seems to reach everywhere but the TV, where it'd actually look good enough to be worth watchingevlcookie said:
Have you looked at the Boxee Box at all? It seems like a pretty neat little solution, beats my old AppleTV any day of the week, plus it's cheaper than building my own HTPC, which I have also considered.evlcookie said:
I am currently using my Xbox 360 to do stream as a Windows Media centre extender (no mkv sadly). It sucks mostly because of the idiotic way Microsoft have allowed this. The DivX/Xvid codec is essentially free DLC, which forces it to have DRM, so as soon as my internet stops working or if I'm not signed into Xbox Live, it doesn't work. Neat, huh?
You know when you go looking up new music, maybe browse a music site like Pitchfork or perhaps something more relevant, check it out on Youtube, flick through iTunes to see if it's available digitally, add it to your Wishlist and then forget about it then finally download it, oh years after first becoming intrigued, and then get blown away and regret not buying it straight away in the first place?
Totally got that just with Mastodon's 'Crack the Skye'.
Also, Four Tet, but that was like soooooooooo last month, know what I mean?

I've been using one of these for about 18 months now:

With XBMC. Added a USB TV tuner and IR remote. Does the job quite nicely.

That's such an outstanding album. I got to see them do it live in Melb, they played the entire thing from start to finish with very little interuptions.
One of the most awesome concert experiences. The two skinny Asian guys in front of me were going off, singing every lyric, noshing and just totally into it. It was hilarious but great too see someone so passionate and into what they are seeing and experience.

I do know another guy with that who loves it.
My idea was to buy a small box that worked as my htpc + media server. 6 hdd bays where i could throw in 6x2TB and that should last me a lifetime.
At the end of the day i have no room for it which is why i need a house or apartment. Some of those xbmc skins look outstanding though.

Went for a run this morning for the first time in years. Fun, fun. :/
Nike+ on the iPhone is pretty cool though. But, it means I have to run with my iPhone in my pocket which isn't great. I guess I could get one of those armband things. Has anyone ever used one of them?

I don't get the massive love those things get. I tried one and yes, it was tasty. But definitely not worth the massive amount the zombielike masses say.Rahk said:
