Was this article mentioned, is it what started this conversation?

Nope it was the Jaffe keynote at PAX where he talked about the importance of gameplay that can last 50 years of enjoyment.

Ah should have guessed - that was an enjoyable keynote to listen to and occasionally watch. Has a great stage presence.

 

[Shaneus]

How'd they find ya?

Probably got his details from the leaked PSN info on Pirate Bay or something.

 

[Ydahs]

Still no Xenoblade! Has anyone else received their copy?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Fuck I hate computers. System is finally up and running again after 3 days on the phone to Telstra and head office IT. This certainly was not in my job desciption. I demand a better job title and money for this crap.
Also trying to run internet through Citrix based in Perth is a very, very stupid idea.

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.

You should chat up Jambos sister .

Came here to post this. What a start. Fuck yeah.

etc etc.

 

[midonnay]

encouraging start at the cricket >_>

 

[Yagharek]

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.

Finish Ep2 then say it.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Already played quite a bit of Xenoblade from ozgameshop.

So you're saying she's smokin' hot?

Bernbaum molests Jambo's sister on national TV to be the new Serrels Stare confirmed.

I'm hearing rumours that there is going to be an 'upgrade' option for all RO2 non DDE pre-orders, enabling non-DDE owners to upgrade to the DDE without having to cancel their existing pre-order. That sentence sucked, and I apologise for it.

Dunno what the chances are of this happening, but I'll bite if it comes true. Reading the 100+ page thread over at SA has me antsy.

 

[jambo]

I can see that happening, pay the difference and get access to the beta.

 

[reptilescorpio]

I really should just quit my job and go home at watch it.

Also Jambo you should feel proud that your kin is hot!

 

[VOOK]

Anyone elses girlfriend/boyfriend/partner have shitty friends?

 

[jambo]

Also Jambo you should feel proud that your kin is hot!

Oh we're all hot and I'm proud of it, but I don't really like discussing my sister with a bunch of dudes on the Internet =P

 

[VOOK]

She'll never find out.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Everyone has shitty friends. Eventually they fall to the wayside. Just need to be civil and let your partner deal with, and realise, their bullshit.

 

[Shaneus]

Puzzle Pirates free to play on steam?!?!??!

Is it safe to assume that "free to play" automatically means that there's paid DLC that's pretty much mandatory like majority of F2P iPhone apps?

Can't wait till clipper gifs it.

There will be some form of in-game monetisation, sure.

 

[jambo]

Well then, that's interesting.

 

[Kerrby]

How old is your sister Jambo and is she single?

 

[elfinke]

Well then, that's interesting.

400% - damn. Once additional peripherals and games are added in on top of that this has been quite the period for Sony Aust then.

Also, Sri Lanka are making sure we are aware that this is a test match...

 

[Jintor]

It just sits there and I have nothing really to play on it.

Should be doing equity anyway...

 

[Omikron]

Like, I have seen some stupid posters/signs at rallies. But, yeah.

The fringe loon right are becoming more numerous.

 

[jambo]

That deservers a thread in the OT, could get other people to post stupid rally signs.

Do it. Can't believe all these loons are coming out of the woodworks, what the fuck is going on in Australia atm?

220 steam achievements jebus.

Basically all the tinfoil hat/conspiracy theory nutjobs are coming out of the woodwork. They think that because the main 'left' political party is facing electoral disaster, that all of a sudden their crazy views have merit as an alternative.

Soon enough there will be rallies against fluoridated water, 9-11 truthers will emerge in Australia of all places, and contrails and HAARP will be outlawed.

 

[Fredescu]

Holy shit, Lyon got a wicket in his first ball in test cricket. Kumar Sangakkara on home soil no less.

Multiplatform games are good too because it isn't noisy as fuck. It's a tradeoff between that and the painful controller though.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Gotta catch em all! Freemium?

 

[Jintor]

Trying to fucking get Planetside, an 8 year old game running on a broken reconsolidated Sony-based online entertainment platform system, working is surely one of the lower circles of hell.

 

[jambo]

Aussie 3DS Ambassador games are up!

220 steam achievements jebus.
