Fucking incredible, I can't wait. Those ironsights give me tingly feet and toes. Oh wait, that's cos I stopped breathing for a moment there...

Fuck, that was an unexpectedly (kinda) expensive trip to Zavvi. Went in for Party Animals, came out with that, de Blob 2 and Deathsmiles for 25 quid. All games I should be able to finish without too much hassle, so they're not really adding to the backlog. That's my theory and I'm-a stickin' to it.
You... bastard. Mind you, the shrink wrap is pretty much exclusive now to about half of my HD-DVD collection :/RandomVince said:What, are you afraid they'll see all the shrink wrap?

Thumbs down. Was cool when I was 18 but I don't get the visual stimulation so it gets a pass from me. For some reason a big part of my enjoyment depends on aural and visual interaction. Whether that means I have a crappy imagination or just my brain can detect the disconnection between what I am thinking and what is actually happening is an interesting topic of discussion. Nice quick warmup is nice though. Just no more than 3-4 minutes please.Sutton Dagger said:
Also Shaneus that is a cheap trip! de Blob 2 is fantastic and deserves more attention. Deathsmiles is much too hardcore for me, never was one for the bullethell. Just too soft and prone to throwing controllers I think. This generation really has been catered to me with the Press A To Win system most games have taken on. My self worth is higher because I won so easily!
So got Rugby world cup 2011 today to have a play with. It's by HB Studios who did the EA rugbys back in the day. Got it from publisher
Anyway, find out it does not have Wallabies and All Blacks licensed. Instead that is going to be in 'Wallaby Challenge 2011'
which is by the guys who did Jonah Lomu rugby (which was awesome)
but what the fuck IRB, seriously how can you have an OFFICIAL world cup game WITHOUT all the official teams
this is why FIFA is not a clusterfuck. FIFA controls all the licencing for national teams who sign up to their group (and you have to to play in WC qualifiers etc). IRB lets individual nations deal with this shit and you get the OFFICIAL game without the two of the biggest teams licensed

Anyone else got their most recent electricity bill? I can't believe how much it has gone up... $564 for the quarter...
Fuck it, I posted it on Twitter, might as well post it here. Sick of waiting for the arbitrary date of September to launch it officially.
Blow The Cartridge: Suggest an old video game, I will make a comic about it.
Special thanks to the folks here who beta-tested it a while back.

Jesus... Something has to be using up all that power? We have a bar heater that we have been using quite a bit, that is the only difference since the last bill in terms of appliance usage, do those things chew through the power?
Sutton Dagger said:
Bar heaters do (you mean the ones with exposed radiant rod coils that glow red?) Or do you mean those old oil heaters?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oil_Heater_5293.jpg
Oil heaters are good from memory, but we used to just pop one in the bedroom of an evening and a rug + heater in the lounge if it was chilly.

That will be it. Bar heaters use a lot of power.
Sutton Dagger said:
I don't really feel the cold, so I pretty much never use our reverse cycle ducted system. My female housemate uses it a bit, but obviously not enough to make too big a dent in the power bill.
I also got my housemates to start turning the TV off properly (no more standby) and we've been using energy saver lamps instead of downlights which are notoriously bad.

Yeah those. Looks like I'm wearing jumpers in the house from now on
if you guys are complaining about power move to NSW which has had price rise after price rise recently
by the end of the IPART allowed price rises, it will be up 80% on 2010 prices.
$2000-3000 bills are common with some areas/families of Sydney and yes perhaps they are going bananas with power but its still a shit ton of money for what quite frankly should be seen as a fucking necessity in this day and age and should not be allowed to have the shit gouged out of it
We are paying higher bills because the management of the power companies did not invest in infrastructure and now have to build shit quicker to keep up with demand so it costs more money. Those managers get paid millions of dollars a year to do fuck all and build fuck all infrastrucutre. IPART should have told them to go fuck themselves and they should have done a better managerial job in building infrastructure rather than allow the 80% gouge.

Yeah since we moved I've started banning heaters, just put on a jumper instead, and we haven't missed it too much. Well I haven't
Might have to start all electronics off at the wall at night though. Also I'm not sure if our new place has those energy saver lights. Might have to look into that.
I have no idea what to expect with my bill.
EDIT Yeah in NSW, guy at work got a bill work a couple of thousand and thats what made me think about it

Hey now! You know as well as I do that dating girls from your own church and/or youth group is just asking for drama in your life that you simply don't need. That line about company ink? That applies to church ink too, albeit with far less pen-dipping.midonnay said:

Dinosaurs have no place in organised religion.
Also any electric heater will give you a sky high bill. Natural gas is a hell of a lot cheaper, on our contract we install mostly gas heaters because it is so much cheaper for the tenants.
Also choc those sports games that aren't big names are horrible. The cricket ones have only now gotten back to Shane Warne Cricket on the PSOne level. Also very few official player names in them either.
Wish the government systems would switch to Chrome. IE is such a piece of crap to browse with a work, hopefully the Microsoft Monopoly Agreement of 1987 will soon be overturned and I can start browsing like normal people.

It happened a few months back. It seemed like swearing and even the homebrew discussion might be a problem for a short while, but they have been deemed suitable for the time being. The following was deemed inappropriate:midonnay said:

There's further discussion here.
I don't think anything in the recent pages was infringing those, but it might have been a problem that not even EatChildren could fix if it went further unchecked.
