War of the Roses, eh? I'm a bit of a history nut, so I'll look into it (once I've cleared my backlog - I've finally finished The Count of Monte Cristo and apparently have the whole of ASOIAF ahead of me).

Great book.

And listen to your wife. Your roles should be reversed. I don't imagine it's a series that many women would give a fair chance or enjoy.

Yeah, definitely. Both are Billion and the most recent one I only stopped using because I needed something with a WAN port for my cable modem. Everything's all in the box as new as the router itself used all the same cables as the first one.

Not trying the hard sell, but I've never had a single problem with Billion modems/routers in the slightest. The latest one with the WAN port is... surprise... a Billion as well.

Fake edit: Here 'tis.

So, I was at Capitol last night (NSWer's) and to my surprise, I saw this:

It blew my mind, then when I played it, it wasn't as good... as it was Chinese. :( </3

Send me pm letting me know how much you want for it as I will need a modem before I can get the net running here.

So the Skyrim CE is 50 bucks more than tw2 CE was. Might have cancel my ebgames order and just import the pc version super cheap.

Also Bethesda sicking the lawyers onto Notch because his next game is called Scrolls is weak sauce. Also me3 MP confirmed, hope it isnt garbage and leads to a 5 hour SP campaign

Remember how I said I thought the the D3 always online stuff was mostly arrogance?

“I’m actually kind of surprised in terms of there even being a question in today’s age around online play and the requirement around that.” He went on to explain that anti-piracy concerns did not factor into the decision: “”Internally I don’t think [DRM] ever actually came up when we talked about how we want connections to operate. Things that came up were always around the feature-set, the sanctity of the actual game systems like your characters. You’re guaranteeing that there are no hacks, no dupes. All of these things were points of discussion, but the whole copy protection, piracy thing, that’s not really entering into why we want to do it.”

Pretty much what I thought. To them, it's about the "sanctity of the game." ie you'll play it our way or not at all.

Wait till the guy at EB walks out back to "check if we have any copies" and comes back with the $200 one and a hopeful expression.

Considering the auction house, I'm not surprised about it being online only. I guess they could have at least separated online and offline play. It doesn't really bother me though because I'll only play it co-op.

Lol nope. EA have them deep into a 5 month dev cycle for Need For Speed: Afghanistan buddy. Enjoy the next logical step in vehicular combat slash counter terrorism. Patriot style.

RC1 was the bomb.

This is what's shitting me about Microsoft at the moment though. They've got so many good franchises (I assume they own it, MGS published it) but they aren't doing anything with anything except Halo, Gears and Fable.
All I want is some Project Gotham, is that so much to ask?

And I want Rise of Nations 2 but we sure ss dhit arent getting what we want any time soon. So many incredible PC franchises just laying dormant. Same with EA. At least we are getting a new XCOM I guess...

Two was fucking amazing at the time. Every so often I fire up the big ol' Xbox to play it and reminisce, but truth be told while it's held up well, there's a lot of stuff around now that's better. Replay modes are awesome, though... right/left trigger adjust the speed of a replay but it doesn't change the tone of the sound, just slows down the picture. Just like those ultra-high framerate cameras they use in sports.

On dead franchises, what I wouldn't do for a new single player game (with online melee) based in the Star Control universe. SC2 is so fucking amazing.

Yeah I miss Oddworld. That said, I didn't buy Stranger's Wrath, so I'm partly to blame for their not being any since, but still, they were great.

Edit: The Wallabies are getting spanked. This is depressing.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Never owned a CE statue/figurine, doubt I ever will. Regular edition for meeee.

I'm not sure I even want it after being burned by Oblivion, and a lesser extent Fallout 3. This better be good :mad:.

OK seriously, this is some of the worst reffing I've ever seen. They are missing knock ons and off sides both ways. Whoever is reffing this game better not see any world cup action. Absolute disgrace

I mean it's that or ridiculous Australian paraphanalia, like a giant knife lying on a stockman's Akubra next to a kangaroo or something.

We have some creative people here (Jintor, Gaz, YOU, others), surely there can be something better.

Pretty much. And to sound completely mercenary, if I was going to spend time making a T-shirt, it would be for my own properties, not to advertise this place as much as I truly do love it.

I really should make that Presidog shirt. I mean, Bern wants one.

What I was thinking of/came up with (idea only), was a coat of arms, but with neogaf logo and the banner saying "ausgaf".

Here's the image for reference:

That's not bad actually.

Is there a deadline for t-shirt submissions or can we just submit whenever? I notice stuff is going up in waves.
