That... might actually make me feel a little better, depending on what the games are. Still, that's a pretty deep cut, so those VC games better not be tripe.EatChildren said:

Fucking channel 9, just half watched Goblet of Fire which edited out all the "violent" bits at 10pm. This was followed by an overlong trailer for the dreadful Camelot series proclaiming it as The Greatest Love Story Ever Told (it is honestly the worst I've seen in a while). Show is cancelled anyway, why they are bothering to air it at all, I do not know.
Hell yes, amazing end to an amazing series.

As EatChildren shows, you're not screwed over in the slightest. And those GBA games are currently exclusive to early adopters. They have no plans to sell them in the eShop, making them even more awesome. The NES games will be sold in the eShop, but we get a timed exclusive on them. Finally, the NES games are meant to be improved somehow when they start selling them for real and we get the improvements at the same time. It is unclear at the moment what they mean by improved, whether it means there won't be manuals at launch (which is September 1) and they'll add them in later, or whether some of them are due for 3D Classic treatment and we'll get them upgraded to that form.viciouskillersquirrel said:
All in all, pretty awesome. Did I say they were awesome yet? Cause they're awesome, you see.
Edit: Oh, and Mario Kart 3DS and Mario 3DS have dates now. Both will be here by December. Well, they'll be in the US by December, I'm not sure NAL gave local dates.

The Nintendo of Australia PR sadly made no mention of any 3DS games, which is a bit concerning.

Free GBA games does make me pretty happy and ten of them seems fairly generous (Fusion alone atones for a lot). Still, I don't like to feel I overpaid for the system.
Also, did anyone find a workaround for the "you can't use an Aussie credit card on the US eShop" thing they snuck into the last update? As in, is anyone selling US point cards online yet?

If I want to give NoA some of my money in exchange for software licenses for use on hardware I paid launch price for, then by all that is good and wholesome about video games, they will take my damned, legally-obtained money and smile at me whilst doing so.Salazar said:

Very true.
In other news, Blood Bowl (PC) is the greatest sports game I've played. Who knew that all it took was lots of humour, bizarre rules, and a turn-based system for me to go completely goddamn bananas for gridiron.

lol, that's one of the reasons I like the Australian. They keep the sport separate, so I don't have to look at it
The courier mail doesn't even confine the sport to the sports section. I have to read all about state of origin on the front page! VSK, congrats
I imagine Thailand would be a beautiful place for a honeymoon, especially if you managed to get away from the bogans. When I think about Bogan Aussie tourists who go to thailand/ bali I feel kind of ashamed to be Australian Maybe I can camouflage as a NZer because I don't have the tell tale southern cross tattoo....

Damn it, is the Shield really that good? Damn, now I'm going to have to watch it. Stop giving me more and more shows to watch GAF!! I've still got half a season of Sopranos to watch, and a chunk of the Wire left.
The SMH and Age do something similar, they have a tabloid size sport and business insert inside the papers. So you'd probably love that.

Just making sure AusGAF knows about We're Alive, an amazing Zombie podcast in the old fashion 'radio drama' style. They just finished season 2, so it's a great time to catch up. Get on it people, it's amazing.
So I finally saw Mario and Luigi, the bowser one in eb. It was second hand! Bargain score! Whats that? $65 bucks >.>?
I hate those bastardly types. $5 off isnt really second hand.... its basically dropped less than 5% of its value... I cant on principle pay that much for a sh game >_<

What I love about that comic is the centipede that's crawling out of the birthday skeleton's gaping, empty, soul-sucking maw of an eye-socket.
@Bern - that would be cool. I'm good for points at just this very moment (put $50 down the second the shop was up and before they banned non-US credit cards), but it'll be nice to be able to buy more when the time comes.

And a maze!
The lollyshop is a fucking staple of Richmond. Used to love going there back when I lived at Brighton.
Also, holy shit it was cold on Mt Wellington. Was like -10 at the very top. After a certain point there's no friendly pedestrian walkways, so to get to the absolute top you have to climb this mount of slippery icy rocks. Saw some guys go up there who had a friend in a wheelchair, and they just had to leave him behind after a point. It was super, super windy and really wet and freezing. My clothes are still damp two hour or so later.
In the picture a few posts back is my younger cousin, we threw a few snowballs at the rest of our family. Despite living so close to a source of snow, I've never really gone up there and played with it. I can confirm that snow is indeed super cold, and is also REALLY HARD AND SHARP. I have cuts all over my hands from picking it up.
There were a few crazy as shit people up there too, who covered nearly their entire windshiled with snow (picture above is more cousins doing a less crazy version - note it all got taken off before we started driving). Nearly got hit by one guy on the drive up who had his car absolutely covered in the shit. Going back down there were a bunch of tourists kinda weaving all over the road not knowing which way they were going, too.
Hard to convey from pictures, but the view was really good from near the top.

Hadn't played Dead Rising for about 18 months. I played for about 2 hours, deciding to call it a day when I died one too many times. I chose the 'Save and Quit' option, not realising 'Quit' means 'delete your save game and force you to start from the very start'.
So that's the last time I'll ever play that game.
Edit: When I went up the top of Mt Wellington the one and only time I've been there, it was so foggy it was like the draw distance had been turned off, and I couldn't even see the edge of the mountain before it started dropping.
