Thursday night SBS has been a knockout for ages now. At the moment it's Italian Food Safari, Oz and James Wine Adventure, and Heston's Feasts. I miss Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations, I hope they bring that back on. On top of that stuff, you have so many interesting docos and some truly bizarre stuff during Erotic Tales on SBS on Friday night.

That's the "HBO" position, apparently.Omi said:The language used actually doesn't bother me tbh and didn't see too many 'fucks' being out of place. Although the over use of a particular sexual position in the first ep was rather amusing!
I have my media centre recording it now if no one else is. No idea how to convert it to a smaller format for sharing...Shaneus said:
Don't like Spooks or watching cooking shows and I usually watch Media Watch and 4 Corners using iView on my iPad while I'm cooking.
Grrr, Soccer....
I guess my point is that ABC and SBS will never come close to meeting my programming needs, and 7/9/10 will always be so obtrusive with ads and branding as to render them all unwatchable.

Serrels, I can't understand what you are saying!
Just sitting there, spinning on his chair haha
Most of the ones i see online remind me of just standard hotel rooms in terms of design. Clearly they aren't hotel room since you get a kitchen and some sort of laundry, They just totally remind me of them.
Shame about having to lease it out. Quest seems to own a few apartment complexes down here and have it under lease for 400 years.
I'm kidding

Alright, I guess I've recorded the segment. If you need it Serrels let me know and I'll somehow try to convert it or get it to you (assuming that it actually recorded).
Also noticed I have a ton of Champions League games there recorded I want to watch.

seems like a fairly dry thing to cover, anyway.

I haven't checked Giant Bomb or Edge, but the Gamasutra coverage was pretty much the same as every other online news outlet I saw: a rehash of the Sony statements lifted directly from the blog. That Kotaku AU article was the first one that actually probed a little deeper in a journalistic sense which I think is what Choc was referring to.Mar said:

This has been suspected for about a week now, surprised that people on Gaf hadn't seen the massive thread on the front page all week. I've got protection against fraud on my card but I'm going in tomorrow to get a new one for piece of mind. I would recommend everybody do the same. Luckily my PSN account was made a launch so all my important accounts don't use the same details, it is very rare for me to get to have the el_rezzo username so I was thankful that Sony allowed for early PSN registration. Even more thankful now.Omi said:
Bottom line is Sony is royally fucked in the arse. Consumer confidence will take years to recover and everybody they deal with will hold this against them. This is a billion dollar problem for Sony and they have reacted poorly, the lack of communication makes them look incompetent and everyone screaming about class-action lawsuits will only get more and more worked up unless they detail exactly what happened. They need a scapegoat like Garfield needs lasagne on a Monday.
Also the crowned Prince of Nigeria said if I give him my details he will protect my card against fraud so I won't have to worry in the future thankfully.
Had leftover Chili Con Carne. Even brought in Light Sour Cream to work for it. Shit was delicious.legend166 said:
I live in Geelong and never get a chance to sit in front of the TV so I don't feel bad for downloading stuff like Archer. I usually grab the DVD set anyway. Having a baby and a full time job means I usually get to watch my TV at like 9pm at the earliest. Plus the downloads have superior picture quality and less watermarks and no damn ads. If people are allowed to use Tivo I don't see why I can't download the same shows they fast forward through the ads for.Fredescu said:
Inserted air quotes for truth. Investigative journalism should be commend as barely anyone does it. Serrels did a fantastic job with the article and I look forward to reading the follow up ones you will most likely do on the impact of the hack and how it will change how Sony does business. Also start your own damn site with like-minded writers as Kotaku is more like Cleo than a reputable establishment for hard hitting news.Choc said:its a disgrace (no offence mark
Punching above its weight. It's a real shame you have that Kotaku name on the site Mark, because unfortunately when i mentioned Kotaku AU to people they go urgh kotaku
If the username has nothing in common with the other password I wouldn't worry. They got your username/password/address and maybe card number/expiration. Aside from the credit card fiasco this is no different to when Kotaku/Gawker got hacked and everyone's emails and details got posted up online. Keep anything related to your money separate from each other. Different Xbox, different PSN, different Paypal, different OzGameShop. Less likely to get hosed that way.commanderdeek said:
This is the worst damn news of the day. The wedding is cancelled in my mind. Kate ran off with that little shit Harry and are eloping in Ibiza. Tiesto is the celebrant. Cristal water-fountains as far as the eye can see. The Queen crunking up the dancefloor.roosters93 said:
Since the Anime comes out like 6-12 months after Japan you can just skip the filler arcs. Bleach's filler was horrendous enough to make me stop watching until I saw some of the next manga arc which was great.hamchan said:
Yeah I like Bleach. Stop hating.
Poop in their letterbox or put a banana up their tailpipe. Karma dude. Balance that out.Choc said:

I've never actually purchased anything off PSN. It's good that the breach doesn't affect me, but it does raise my ire that right now I literally can't buy anything off the service. It's an odd feeling.
I have no idea. I think watching too many us tv shows with apartments has warped my fragile brain.Fredescu said:
I can't see me getting one soon anyway, no way I could live there while paying the mortgage, would be left $5 for food.
It's nice to look and dream though, I do a little too much of both.
Yeah, those apartments are artificially huge to be easy to film in: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FriendsRentControlevlcookie said:
Dear AusGAF,
Recently I have been feeling let down, despondent, cynical and generally frustrated. I need a new phone. My current one is a shitty erricson w995 on virgin mobile (I know). I can't go on like this.
I dont see any appeal in the new smartphone fad. I dont trust apple's walled garden mentality, I dont trust androids security unless one is on top of all the ins and outs of jailbreaking/OS runarounds and windows mobile seems to be infected with foxtel, facebook and twitter icons taking up 50% of the screen real-estate.
I have asked this elsewhere (hi shaneus) and am still not yet convinced that a blackberry or other similar phone is a bad idea. Would anyone here recommend any specific handsets outside of the touchsreen smartphones that are all the rage these days? I need to get something on telstra, I need to be able to do decent web browsing and email on it, and it needs to be something with great coverage in remote areas since I need to travel a lot for work. And it needs to be relatively ergonomic as well. Oh and built in radio tuners would be a nice bonus.
I would really like as much advice as is possible from people with reasonable experience with handsets outside of the current popular ones. I appreciate that HTC and iphones have a good reputation but I personally see nothing from them as smartphones that meets my needs.
Many thanks in advance for any help provided.
Love,
Randomvince

Walk into your local telstra store and try some phones out. Look on their website. They are actually pretty good to deal with in-store these days. Main thing is to play with the phone yourself before buying one.RandomVince said:

The iPhone web browsing experience is generally superb. I couldn't recommend it enough.
Generally, for decent web-browsing on a phone you'll all but need some kind of touch-interface. So just look at the generally well-received touch phones and make a decision based on what you actually need.

im not going to argue that iphone and android are not better because that would be dumb.
but the OS6 BB's (9780 and Torch) have a webkit browser which is faster
also web browsing (aside from streaming) on the blackberry is free.
Just get what you think is right, pros and cons to all
but i get that you dont like touch because i dont either.

Go in the morning before the scum wake up from their nightly Bundy can hangover. My gf got a Samsung Galaxy 551 and I have been enjoying it more every day. The keyboard is really handy for internet stuff.RandomVince said:
