As everyone else has said, DC aren't that amazing for prices. They ARE a local indie store though. I've bought things from there and they're seriously the nicest blokes. I saw the emo-hair guy (can't remember his name) at my local shops once and struck up a convo.
They're gamers just like us etc etc. But Zavvi and shit is obviously cheaper, sans the time it takes to get to your door.

I still have my Science Works video of me sitting in the fridge talking to Ernie Dingo.
EDIT: Or was it the Discovery science centre?

^^^^^^^ I don't get it.......why is Ernie raping your peaches?
still to be seen
the agreement with Telstra has a break fee but the network footprint won't even be close to meeting the requirement by the next election.
there is a lease agreement concerning Telstra infrastructure but presumably the Libs will try to negotiate a new deal to rollout FTTN instead.
best case scenario: there are too many complex agreements to rip up and the NBN gets delayed by up to a few years. (cost benefit analysis and related procrastination)
worst case scenario: the libs sell whats left of the NBN to Telstra and let them build it
get your buttocks ready >_<

If you are talking about the whole Craig Thompson thing, I don't think he will get the boot, basically the only reason to do so would be if criminal charges were laid and he was convicted. See the whole Lib senator thing (charged with shop lifting) for detail.

Well, if you were put in a room with Abbott for as long and as often as Gillard, you'd probably begin to think that not only is facepalming the way of the future, but is actually an encourageable course of action for your day to day lifestyle.
I'm sure in his private quarters Turnbull does an awful lot of facepalming...

There doesn't seem to be a demo for Space Marine on 360 yet. But there's a free trailer, and you can buy shirts for your virtual doll!

So, I ended up getting CoE and RDR: Undead Nightmare, not from Zavvi but from their sister site The Hut for exactly the same price, free shipping and because they kept pestering me with a 10% off voucher.
I used to have the full version of RDR but had sold it when I finished it. i liked it but not as much as everyone else, hence it got sold off.
I finally finished my replay of UC2 in preparation for UC3. That game has held up much better than any other 'recent' games of thsi gen that I've played over the last few months "ME1, Dead Space1, Hitman: Blood Money or original Uncharted.
lastly, I have now my uber-cheaply aquired Red Faction Armageddon to tide me over till DE:HR lobs later this week. That's certainly the last THQ game I'm buying for a long while.

Not super important but I am curious, does anyone know the hows and whys of Space Marine development getting moved from THQ Brisbane to Relic?
ClivePwned said:
I don't know, but Raphael van Lierop (who seems like a nice dude, who has overseen what seems like a beastly awesome game) has started this company:

As I said in the TF2 thread, the Machina has revived my Sniper play. I mix it up between Pyro, Scout and Sniper, but hadn't given the latter a good go for a few months.
Fully charged Machina is so meaty sounding.

I've got a Strange Scattergun and Strange Sandman. I've always used the Scattergun so that was a nice surprise, but not the Sandman.
And I'm not sure which is worse; no medic or a bad medic. I had a medic follow my pyro into the 2fort sewers to counter an engy and co in the middle of a sewer rush, and at the last minute he bailed for no reason, leaving me boned in all orifices.
I hate you medic.
elfinke said:
I normally play on Games.On.Net servers, any of the Full Rotation ones.
Medic is my most played class, I have so much fun with it and you can really turn the tide of a battle if you have 1 or 2 good medics healing and buffing people.
EDIT: Red Orchestra 2 is looking hot!

You see this pretty often on Battlefield games too. You get the people who are medics because they get a LMG or can heal themselves, or you get the people who will run through mortar fire so they can revive you.EatChildren said:
In other news, I think I'm in love. I don't really have the room, but damn if that isn't a great looking (original!) machine with one of my favourite games in it.

It's never: "Here's a fresh and interesting piece of knowledge that expands our understanding of the world we live in, let's celebrate this work on its own merits"; rather it's: "Here's something I can point to as a justification of myself and to villify others' beliefs".
Stay petty, NeoGAF.

TF2 is awesome and i do wish i had the new DX3 weapons. I'm pissed I didn't get them with my GMG pre-order, talk about bullshit!
The sad thing is TF2 is my go to weekend game even when I should be playing other things. DX3 should take that crown this weekend but who the fuck knows, I might just play TF2 for another 10 hours.
