Optus tech comes on the 3rd, says everything is fixed but theres a problem with the lines in the road so its up to telstra.

internet does not even connect after that.

17th, be told (after i had to call up to check.. no one warned me) that i need to be home between 9 - 12, so i take the day off for this. Telstra tech shows up at 7am, is gone by 8am and tells me theres nothing wrong with anything and its up to the optus tech to fix

least the net now works again.. at ~80kbps.

i could have fucking gone to work and not wasted a day off sigh.

oh internode have been charging me since the 1st too.

edit: got disconnected whilst writing this post, then it reconnected and now i can download at ~260kbps. internode must have spoke to telstra and done something. but considering i'm about 700m (VIA CABLES) from the exchange. smh.

$25 US for trackmania 2, How many are going to bite and is frawd going to make another banner?

Buy it from here - http://us-maniaplanet.gamesplanet.com/shop/trackmania-canyon

Biting so hard all that will remain is a bloody stump.

 

[Yagharek]

Ahhh it makes my blood boil. Do these morons realise that things change and evolve over time, the typical marriage today is almost indistinguishable from the act of marriage in ancient Greece. It just boggles my mind that we still accept institutionalised bigotry in this fashion.

I honestly have never felt quite so disillusioned with Australian politics than today.
Labor is in a dire position, Greens have inspired greater degrees of hate than ever before, independents have lost any chance of getting elected, and the Coalition is courting the loon vote like never before.

That rally plus that anti-gay lobby session plus the names involved = disaster for Australia.

It's as if the fundamentalist mega-church voting block has merged with the tinfoil hat wearing fluoride in drinking water chemtrail fearing New World Order nutjobs.

btw has anyone in WA got their Zelda soundtrack yet? /weekly checkin

 

[codswallop]

That was so saved to my MLKSHK.

Argh.

I get periodically cold-called by people insisting that my water tastes funny.

Anyone wanting some more detail on 'that' conference re marriage, watch The Drum from about 18mins here : http://www.abc.net.au/iview/#/view/811116

Disgusting. I am with the panelists in saying the ABC shouldn't have aired it.

 

[user_nat]

Any word on the PS3 getting a price cut here?

 

[Yagharek]

Any word on the PS3 getting a price cut here?

Not yet, but going by exchange rate + tax it should be no more than $280 for a 160GB unit.

Which means it will be $400.

trackmania 2 BOUGHT

 

[Yagharek]

Argh.

Serious question: are they from Queensland?

 

[Jintor]

I feel like I'm in fucking crazytown over El Shaddai reviews. Everyone's lauding it for being beautiful, which it is, but it felt like there was no substance behind its incredibly pretty exterior...

 

[Yagharek]

PS3 160GB looks like it'll be $348 now. So obviously overpriced by $70.

Sounds like that is a fairly common complaint for those here and in the US/other territories.

[Omikron]

NFI, could be I guess. Just sounds like people are having trouble purchasing.

 

[legend166]

If I was sick today I'd have already bought Trackmania.

But I'm back at work now

 

[Omikron]

oh its overloaded?

Payment refused

Please verify your payment details and try again. Or you can contact support if you keep having this problem.

[Pixel Pete]

I'd love Trackmania, but there are too many games coming out, and I'm meant to be saving for a holiday and paying for tax returns and shit.

 

[Choc]

Bought, downloading now.

HOW

 

[jambo]

Just put my credit card details in and paid, it emailed me download links and a key.

Overloaded due to Trackmania?

 

[mandiller]

I just bought Trackmania 2 via Paypal. It kept saying payment refused, but just keep spamming it and it'll eventually work (it did for me at least). I'm downloading it now.

Someone else said to open paypal in another window and login, then try buying Trackmania. So you can give that a try.

 

[Frawdder]

Apparently Nadeo is experiencing 16 times the amount of pre-orders they had anticipated.

DAMN!

I can't get buy it either, keep getting refused.

 

[Choc]

how are you spamming it ? ;| just keep hitting pp?

LOL i remove that and it works, good job nadeo

 

[EatChildren]

Dungeon Crawl have El Shaddai in stock, for any of Melbourne GAF interested.

 

[Jintor]

Forget El Shaddai, I need me some Xenoblade

 

[codswallop]

So, potential Trackmania 2/beta players, is it more racing or stunt focused? I haven't seen any video that shows it's about the crazy stunts so much as it is crazy racing.

interesting reading

 

[Fogz]

Yep I'll be buying TM2 when I get home this arvo

Also, maybe Bastion

 

[ClivePwned]

I'm guessing I will be hitting up JB Hifi next week for Deus Ex.
Do we have any info in which of the console versions runs best
(I don't want the PC version for this- chief reason is to get far away from my computer)

 

[legend166]

Everyone uses keyboard to play Trackmania, right?

 

[Ydahs]

Anyone ever preorder from TheHut?

The last (and only) game I preordered from there was OoT and that arrived the same week. Hopefully Xenoblades will arrive this week, but I'm not counting on it.

The Hut is the same as zavvi. Same company.

You might get it next month.

I personally preferred plugging in my PS3 controller.

Not that it helped my performance any.

 

[legend166]

So I didn't get any email from ozgameshop telling me Xenoblade shipped, and now it's listed as out of stock on their website.

I think I'll be waiting awhile

 

[Deeku]

Didn't expect so many people here to get Xenoblade.

 

[Ydahs]

D:

Well... at least I don't have to rush through Chrono Trigger anymore

edit: wait, but it already shipped on the 15th. Surely it'll arrive this month.

 

[Fogz]

Ozgameshop says Xenoblade is released on the 19th. I was wondering why mine hadn't been sent yet as well.

 

[Yagharek]

Ive ordered from game in the uk, so mine has already shipped as of yesterday.

I would have gone with gameplay.co.uk as they are usually good (< 2 weeks) but they didnt have it listed when I ordered.
