Also it is bullshit that Warrnambool doesnt have naked adsl. Also shit that iinet doesnt do adsl2+ to my house. And that aussiebroadband has run out of adsl slots on at one exchange in the whole of Australia. The world hates me.

Pretty random here aparently. Even at Portland an hour west where they come right up to the beach you still need to track the sightings online. Bit disappointing. Hot chicks at least.codswallop said:

Vita is only going to make 2011 in Japan. 2012 in Europe and US. Sony must have trouble getting parts or something as this seems like an incredibly dumb move.
They'll now be battling the 3DS when it is $80 cheaper and will have both Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 with unchallenged Christmas sales and likely selling gangbusters.
Is there any reason apart from lack of parts that could explain them even considering this?
Edit: It seems that maybe this is a software issue where they don't have enough games in English but have enough in Japanese. That sounds fishy to me, but is possible, I guess.

Not mentioned in the Krome article - the original ending to The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning that I wrote and can finally reveal!
---------
(To be played after end credits have played)
Scene: The Temple near the large Dragon statue. Spyro sees Cynder sleeping and looks towards the moon. Ignites approaches from the pool room.
IGNITUS: Spyro, you have fought well and have learned to master your new powers, but many new dangers await you in the future. But first, I must tell you a terrible secret...
SPYRO: (hesitant, wide-eyed) what...what is it, Ignitus?
IGNITUS: You...are a ROBOT!
TRUMPETS BLARE
TITLE CARD: TO BE CONTINUED?

ADSL is available to approximately 4% of our suburb and no one can be arsed upgrading the exchange (which is over 8kms away, which means the ADSL is very crap, anyway) and similarly no one could be arsed laying down fiber so there's no broadband either. My only hope is that our suburb is towards the top of the NBN list... except it keeps on getting delayed.markot said:
It's sad when I visited the middle of nowhere in Malaysia and they had more internet options than I do.
I feel both of your pain.
Looks like brink is now free weekend on steam, I think that will be what i play this weekend unless it really just blows. I haven't been able to find the install now button though :/
That comic will be engraved on my tombstone, sums up my life well i would think.

Also, for everyone that owns Brink, install the DLC for free before they start charging for it on August 17.evlcookie said:Looks like brink is now free weekend on steam, I think that will be what i play this weekend unless it really just blows.

Nah leave the teams to their creative projects rather yhan limit themselves again. I found the original Crash and Spyro to be great games for the limitations of the hardware system but both devs have moved beyond the dynamics of those games. Maybe a PSN version could work well.hamchan said:
Also the delay on Vita is a huge blow to Sony. They can kiss beating Nintndo goodbye now for a few years, 3ds will be hotcakes.

Reading Blizzard's comments on the whole Diablo 3 online thing, I'm beginning to feel they're totally out-of-touch with what people want from a single player or small co-op game. The more I read about Diablo 3 the more I'm getting soured on the whole thing; it was once a day one purchase.

Hooray, finally found a job. Learnt a valuable lesson about moving interstate outside of my profession's standard hiring window. Looking forward to being able to rejoin the PC master race. I'll have to adjust to not having all day to work on my website though, but fortunately retro gaming isn't exactly time sensitive.
Because they're either loaded or want to appear that way. Hell of a lot of professional firms in Malvern, but I was turned off working in the area because it's a pain to get to via public transport. Price of living out in the sticks I guess.
All my fault. Whenever I have money, the dollar is shit. Whenever I'm broke, it's up.
Footage of Tribes Ascend from Quakecon 2011, holy fucking shit it plays exactly like Tribes 1 and 2, this is going to be glorious!
I totally didn't buy Quake IV this morning to get the rocket launcher.
Yeah... totally didn't...

Looks like I picked the wrong week to import a hive of 3000 Killer Bees from the US. Looks like I will have to get all my future Killer Bees from Eastern Europe.

Did that make no sense to anyone else, or just me? How could Microsoft use these patents against Google if Google never owned them?
I don't understand the huge love in people feel for Google. They are way too in everyone's life. They know what you search for, they know who you call, they now have photos of you on +, they have your email.
In sum, Google = Skynet.
Also, I'll come out and say it, WP7 kicks Android around the park
