After writing a billion game reviews back in the day, I'm convinced I can go to any old video game magazine, swap the name of the game out for something modern, and the review would work perfectly.

Spoiler

I think I'll get Brendan Brewer to try it out one week

Edit: Looks like Google Plus invites are working again.

 

[jambo]

I might. But it'll be my last purchase for this sale if so.

Dooo eeet!

 

[Clipper]

Do you mean the Star Wars Imperial Shuttle? I'm getting the NASA Shuttle for $129.

Yeah. Weird that their Lego codes are only one off. And mine is way cooler .

[MrSerrels]

Big debate in my neck of the woods...

Olives.

Shit or amazing?

I say shit. Those fuckers infect everything they touch with their foul olive stench.

You can help yourself to my Hyper collection. Everything from #1-100andsomething.

Olives.

Amazing. I could eat them all day. Sometimes they can be a bit bitter, but they rock.

Google+ invites are working again? Does someone want to give me one?

 

[jambo]

Olives are awesome, but I can only eat a few. They're good on a Sub though.

Yeah. Weird that their Lego codes are only one off. And mine is way cooler .

Huh, that is odd.

And I've never really been a fan of the Imperial Shuttle. I love the Death Star, Star Destroyers and especially the Super Star Destroyers, but never the shuttle.

Can't wait for the Super Star Destroyer

Oil is to die for. Dried or cooked and only used as flavouring, delightful. Disgusting if raw or preserved and stuffed is just ugh.

Huh, that is odd.

The Imperial Shuttle is partially being used as a test to see how much shipping for the SSD is going to set me back. It seems to have worked well, so I await September. I'm still quite pissed that I missed out on buying the SD and Millenium Falcon while they were still cheap (relatively).

Love the green ones.

Olive oil goes on everything. Olives go in the bin.

 

[Jintor]

Seeing I've been talking about KotakuUS the whole time I completely disagree.

Yeah, except for the implications re: Serrels, yeah? Seeing as he only writes for KotakuAU?

Fuck olives, go olive oil

I'mma go pan-fry me some mushrooms

 

[codswallop]

Olives.

Shit or amazing?

Both. Cheap olives on a pizza or from a jar. Shit.
Fresh olives in Turkey and/or Greece. Freaking amazing. I didn't realise I liked olives until I had good olives.

Anyone who wants a Google+ invite just send a PM with your email address.

I figure in a month I'll go and actually utilise my Google+ account

Olives are a nice way to add something a bit salty to a spag bol, a jaffle, a pizza, a sandwhich, or a pasta. They're like less offensive anchovy. Even the cheap ones are good.

Just don't go frying shit with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It has a low smoke point and it's going to boil and make your food taste like shit. Use either Extra Light, or Canola oil.

Never ever buy "vegetable oil". It is evil shit made by bad people.

 

[Choc]

i want this

FWIW Lego has officially released a Dreamliner model from Boeing recently.

That A380 is not an official release

 

[Rezbit]

Olive oil awesome. Olives shit.

First statement is bollocks, olives are the food of the damned, but the second and third points are spot on. I see people fry with extra virgin and I just don't want to eat anything they cook any more.

 

[codswallop]

So sad that everyone's opinion of olives seems to have been tarnished by the nasty black things masquerading as real olives.

Also good in a martini.

 

[Deeku]

Good with white wine too.

And some sour dough dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

 

[MrSerrels]

I would like to clarify that I don't mind olive oil for cooking.

 

[Jintor]

What you're really saying is

that I should drown everything I stir-fry in olive oil

right?

 

[codswallop]

Use peanut or sesame oil for stir-fries. Much hotter burning point and tastes good too.

if you want a hint of salt added to the spag bol, go with anchovies or vegemite

 

[Fredescu]

Soy Sauce in spag bol is the best.

 

[Deeku]

Eww, that sounds gross!

 

[jambo]

Vegemite in spag bol is great

FWIW Lego has officially released a Dreamliner model from Boeing recently.

It was discontinued :<

 

[Jintor]

I can kind of see it working, although I've taken to eating my pasta with chicken, salads, and a hint of oil these days

 

[jambo]

We always add capsicum and carrot to stir through and even normal bolognese, so tasty!

Yeah I'm NOT missing out on the SSD, that shit is MINE!

 

[markot]

Hard to go wrong with Spag Bol. I always add shitloads of honey.

Have you figured out your shipping plan, though? They are selling it on the Aussie store, it seems, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it at AU$999.99 on there.

 

[Fredescu]

Should I get a second hand PSP-2000 with cfw already installed in very good condition for $80, or a new PSP-3000 for $180? Does the 3000 do any cool shit that the 2000 doesn't?

I'm going to wait until prices surface, then if it's crazy expensive here I might get it shipped to a mate in the US so he can send it to me.

Either that or send it to one of those mail re-directing services.

Go PSP 2000. That was a nice upgrade. The 3000 doesn't really add anything new you can't do on a smart phone as far as I'm aware.

 

[Fogz]

Dooo eeet!

I wasn't going to but at 10 bucks and the promise of that cool mod working for steam soon I just might..... /stroke imaginary beard

 

[codswallop]

Remind me to never to go to an AusGAF pot luck...

 

[evlcookie]

How is Melb going holy?

We need an update!

I think the screen is supposed to be better in the 3000, but if you're paying 180 for it you might as well pay a little extra for a Go.

But yeah, 2000 with cfw for 80 is a darn good deal.

$10 for a great game and 2 fantastic expansions is a steal!

Plus the mods, THE MODS!!!

 

[VOOK]

I got a PSP Go for $160, still haven't got my 10 free games yet.

 

[Fogz]

Well I already had the complete game on 360. But I bought the DLC as they were released like a chump

 

[shanshan310]

I really wanna buy some of the DLC for the sims (its on sale today

Spoiler

don't hurt me!

) But the original copy I have is a disc (ie. not on steam). Does anyone know if DLC is transferable like that or not?

 

[Deeku]

I got a PSP Go for $160, still haven't got my 10 free games yet.

whoa when did that deal happen?? i wouldn't mind a Go myself.

 

[Choc]

so somehow Thurstons ACL survived that hyper extension


medicos should research the build of his ACL because thats insane, 99% of the time that would easily do your ACL in.

 

[Fredescu]

Thanks for the opinions. 2000 it is.

The Go looks like a nice piece of hardware, but the best thing about jumping into a system late is flicking through the bargain bins finding cheap gems. Which I will of course be ripping and playing from memory card anyway. I just don't want to be locked into one store and one set of prices.

 

[jambo]

I'm fairly sure the DLC on Steam will only work with Sims 3 on Steam.

Yeah but now you can play it on the master system =P

 

[shanshan310]

:'( Noooooo. Steam won't even let me buy it.. Man this sucks. I don't really wanna have to buy the whole game again... They really should make it compatible.
