stoke got crouch >_<

don't be too sad, Stoke spent 22 million on Crouch, Palacios and Cameron Jerome.

lol.



And yeah, so happy with the West Ham squad. If Bentley captures his Blackburn form, I would have no issues with a full transfer end of the season. Hopefully there is a clause in there somewhere.

Holy shit that PSPGo Myer deal is back on, they have stock, just bought one :lol

How much!!

Tempted to get one until the Vita comes if it's under $100.

 

[elfinke]

$100 with free shipping

 

[jambo]

$100 with free delivery.

I now own all the current gen hardware =P

 

[elfinke]

Mighty tempting, but I can't bring myself to splash the cash. It'll just collect dust like damn near every other console in the house at the moment >.>

 

[jambo]

Luckily I get paid today and I still had a chunk left over from last pay.

Being off sick for a week does that.

 

[r1chard]

ok it is time to start feeling a bit sorry for Gillard. She just cannot take a trick.

THE Salvation Army has pulled its support for the Gillard government's controversial pokies cap, putting Labor at odds with the nation's most iconic anti-gambling group.

The turnaround - which follows suggestions that clubs were prepared to bar Salvation Army collectors from their venues - will have major ramifications for the ALP.

Under the deal struck to form government, Prime Minister Julia Gillard must pass the reforms or lose the confidence vote of independent Andrew Wilkie.


when has a prime minister had so much go against them before?

How is it that the clubs don't get utterly trashed for that appalling move? Seriously, they're trying to block the Salvos from collecting in their venues and that is not the major news?

Australia confirmed as opening race of F1 2012

wooo

 

[VOOK]

Pretty sure the Free 10 Game Offer has expired for the PSP Go's though.

 

[jambo]

Good to see Australia has gotten the opening race back, now they just need to bring it back to Adelaide

Pretty sure the Free 10 Game Offer has expired for the PSP Go's though.

I have no idea either way. There's an article on the PlayStation website but when you click on it it goes to a 404 error page =\

 

[evlcookie]

Yeah the Synology and QNAP devices are pretty much what I want to get. Starting to run out of space so it's buy one of these and chuck in some 3TB drives or a SATA card and hope my current big, loud PC can handle it. Really want to move away from WHS though.

I'm being told to pick up one of these - Synology DS411j . Seems like a few people at work have one and love it.

Looks like I can throw my stuff on there and it does support 3TB drives, Which i won't get just yet.

So fucking tempting. FUCK!

 

[HolyCheck]

Man, kids these days, all about the instant gratification.

Word, I don't like long games and I miss the days of easily accesable gameshark codes to give me invincibility in JRPGs and the likes, I play for the story I dont play to be challenged.

Holy shit that PSPGo Myer deal is back on, they have stock, just bought one :lol

http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/51681

I hate having a proper job >_>

just bought it.. now thats a touchpad, a tv and a psp go all in the space of a fortnight.. all impulse buys

 

[Clipper]

Incidentally, the PSP Go now reports as not enough stock.

 

[jambo]

Bad luck Clipper, same thing happened to me yesterday.

They must have found another crate in the warehouse this morning :lol

 

[ShyGuy]

So I just finished downloading all my Ambassador games for my import US 3DS.

I **really** hated having to keep going to My Settings to download them one by one, would it have been so hard for them to allow queueing?

I did this too. I'm pretty sure that if you download the Ambassador app alone, then the rest would probably download themselves overnight via Spotpass, though.

RRRGH My net is being the suck and not loading the pages properly. I was spamming F5 alternating from choosing an option, and running out of stock :\

SO SAD. I really wanted a PSP GO ;_;

 

[Shaneus]

Quick question regarding the PSPGo: Is it at all possible to play Lumines on it? I don't care if I have to buy it again, but any form of PSP without it is pretty well worthless IMO.

EMERGENCY legal advice received by the Gillard government last night suggests all offshore processing of asylum-seekers - including on Nauru and Manus Island - may now be invalid.

The Labor government is in a holding pattern as it awaits considered legal opinion on the implications of yesterday's High Court decision ruling the government's Malaysian refugee swap unlawful.

An emergency phone hook-up of cabinet ministers last night heard that offshore processing on Nauru and on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island - both under consideration by the government - would also be ruled out under the court's decision.

according to legal experts, the only nearby country that could satisfy the high court's requirements would be......

Spoiler

New Zealand

interesting to see whether the coalition will keep to their small target strategy and continue their obfuscation or cooperate with the government to amend the Migration Act and keep off-shore processing viable.

perhaps Labor will do a hail mary, scrap off-shore altogether and try to claw back some votes from the Greens. Nothing to lose after this disaster.

Shit I forgot to download the Ambassador games this morning.

And HL2 being barely better than Halo? :lol :lol :lol

Can we ban people rating Halo over Half Life 2 as well?

 

[Kerrby]

Wow, with the Metroid game Nintendo gave away for free if you type in a certain password it crashes the system. The thread on GAF is speculating it could be used to hack the 3DS by buffer overflow or something .

Nintendo better not pull the games off the eshop before us Aussies get to download them .

this means the coalitions plan is illegal as well. Including the one Howard had for years.

Yeah, I thought that is kinda what was implied in the HC ruling as well the other day. Interesting.

The thread on GAF doesn't know much about buffer overflow exploits then. Just crashing the system isn't enough to inject code.

Same, I started playing a few months ago and got bored with it, then I started using cheats to just walk through doors as the game was taking too long, then it glitched out so I quit

Please present your wrists for your mandatory cutting session.

 

[Sutton Dagger]

Would this mean that Asylum seekers potentially have grounds for monetary compensation?

 

[DualShadow]

Pretty sure the Salvo's can only collect in the venues if the clubs allow them to. It's not like it's their right to collect in those venues.

It's still a dick move, but entirely legal I think.

 

[jambo]

I don't think anyone ever called it's legality in to question.

It's just fucking disgusting.

Next Tuesday, SBS’s ‘Insight’ program will be discussing the issue of hacktivism and online crime. They will be covering the Playstation Network hack that occurred in April this year.

I will be appearing on the show as a regular Joe to offer my experience as one of the many Australians who had their personal details compromised as a result of the PSN hack. The show will feature hacktivists themselves, as well as other victims of online crime, some academics and representatives from the AFP.

Incidentally, I was also the victim of $7000 worth of fraudulent transactions made on my credit card – a matter I have made aware to the producers at SBS. I will not be making any attempts to link the PSN hack with my personal instance of credit card fraud. There have been no confirmed cases of credit card fraud made as a result of PSN having been compromised and I will be reluctant to suggest such a link on national television.

Y’all get to be looking at my ugly mug on TV.

 

[Deeku]

Looking forward to your take on the serrel's death stare.

 

[Bernbaum]

I shit you not, that was the first thing I thought about doing once I heard they wanted me on the show.

if i buy a ps3 game, can I play it on my pspgo if I am at another location , or near my ps3.

my boss is asking me about this. he means playstation store games (i assume like your wiiware style games) and playstation 3 games he has purchased digitally?

quick answers people quick!

 

[jambo]

Hah, my sister is probably going to be on that Insider episode as well, she was telling me about it last weekend. Small world.

Lunch break was a success, Fathers Day present sorted and I picked up some comics. Ultimate Ultimates, Ultimate Hawkeye and new Justice League reboot!

At no stage did I say Halo was better than HL2. I said the story wasn't much above Halo. Which I totally stand by. But there are parts of Halo that shit on HL2. Namely driving.

Nice, congrats Bern.

That sounds like a pretty good episode. Insight can often be more painful than interesting. But it could be interesting to hear what people have to say about hacking.

Was this article mentioned, is it what started this conversation?QUOTE] Nope it was the Jaffe keynote at PAX where he talked about the importance of gameplay that can last 50 years of enjoyment.

QUOTE] Seems completely fine to me. Why should the Salvos care about gambling addicts? More work for them! (I am in a bad mood so don't take me seriously)

Eh, as a "story", strictly speaking, yes. In terms of immersion in a game world via interactivity, it beats both Torment and Halo and most other games handily. Playing Torment is like sitting down to read a book. Half Life 2 is much better video game. From a single player point of view, Halo doesn't belong in a conversation alongside these games.

I like you man.
