Reminds me of when I was about 23 or 24 and was at my flatmate's girlfriend's birthday party (she was 17, in her senior year). One of her friends from school started hitting on me. I tactfully brushed away her advances without letting on my age. Found out later she thought I was about 20. Made me feel pretty good hearing that at the time. Oh.. so long ago now...Frawdder said:

Are you able to comment on the game itself?Jintor said:

Quite insane that just two years ago a lot of local footy grounds in Melbourne were suffering from drought. Heck, the council didn't permit us to train on our ground to a couple of months because of how dry it was.
Yesterday, large parts of our ground was submerged in water and every step not matter where, resulted in a massive splash. The ground can't absorb anymore water and the deep pockets are always wet, even if it hasn't rained for a week.
Funny how things can change so quickly.
Also, following the NPD today and seeing the 3DS struggling I'm really wondering how it's going in Australia. I haven't seen one 3DS in public, yet I rarely see any handhelds anyway. Have we gotten an indication on its performance at all?

Does it track only unique 3DSes or any 3DS in the vicinity?Jintor said:
Haven't bought one myself and don't know of anyone who has one. I'm just waiting for that one killer app (Mario) so I can buy it with three or four other games. Or a revision with a new design and better battery life.

You only get one StreetPass per 3DS each time. To get multiple hits from the same person, you have to use the 3DS between the hits. You also get the Mii of the person you passed, so you can be aware of duplicates over multiple days too.Ydahs said:
You have to enable the StreetPass functionality manually, so there'll be a bunch of clueless people out there too. Also, it seems the ping frequency isn't perfect, so you might miss out. Sometimes it takes seconds for them to see each other and exchange data, other times minutes.

Moussey choclits bought... This better be good.
Also: had to buy feminine type products for the gf for the first time in 8 years. What a baffling fucking experience.

Salazar, if there's still room left in your budget, go up a step in motherboards for better overclocking down the track: http://umart.com.au/pro/products_listnew.phtml?id=10&id2=106&bid=2&sid=73790
$140 odd left over in your budget might be enough to squeeze in a small SSD if you have money to burn. You'd have to ask cookie or someone about the particular drive, I don't know much about all the different ones. This one is only $138 http://umart.com.au/newindex2.phtml?bid=2 but I don't know if it's any good. The idea of an SSD is to just install your OS and a few apps on it and install your games and store your stuff on the other drive. They really do load stuff lightning quick, although it makes no real difference to games since they're all based around having load times already.
Also, you'll need to think about a gamepad at some point. If you have a PS3 I think you can get those working with a bit of fiddling. For a 360 controller, you'll either need a wired one, or hunt down a wireless adapter (can be tricky to find).

House of the Dead Overkill for $13 on OzGameShop. EBgames will have ME2 SE for $28 and DJ Hero 2 Pack for $38. Heard Mutual Slump by DJ Shadow on Triple J today and was in pure bliss. New Arctic Monkeys song is fantastic, how can you not love a song with these lyrics?
Also it seems like Anon have quite a few members who just want to annoy people. You guys really aren't helping us consumers try and tell companies that we are going to play nice with their stuff. Looking forward to the next gen of consoles coming with a personal security officer to stand over our shoulder making sure we aren't haxoring into their company. Also some of you guys like Game Of Thrones. I really don't enjoy watching AFL any more. 70% of the play comes from free kicks and half of them are incorrect.
1. Kaura - That Which Defines Us / Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet / Battles - Glass Drop
2. Ball Park Music - Rich People Are Stupid / Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes / Amanda Palmer - Popular Hits Of Radiohead EP / Dangermouse - Rome
3. Skream - Shot Yourself In The Foot EP / Daft Punk - Remix After All (Tribute) / Deadmau5 - 4x4=12
4. The Wombats - This Modern Glitch / TV On The Radio - 9 Types Of Light / Broken Bells - Broken Bells / Junip - In Every Direction EP
5. Tim Hecker - Ravedeath, 1972 / Burial - Street Halo EP / Kode9 - Black Sun / The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
Pure gold once again.

Was originally $45 when it went up for pre-order right? Or am I just imagining things?Kritz said:
I agree, some of the game guides over the years look good enough to keep out for others to flick through. The Final Fantasy Ultimanias are also incredibly cool.Fredescu said:
Because everyone feels that they are entitled to do fuck all work and spend most of their lives on holiday. Because rather than buy products that are more than good enough they have to use the ones that cost 4 times more and inflate their self image. Because people don't give a shit about anyone but themselves. People have gotten complacent and greedy. They see big businesses making profit in the face of devastating thousands of people lives and wonder why they should do any differently? Why bother doing the right thing when everyone else will just push on ahead of you, leaving you behind with all the other people who think it is okay to "just get by". All society cares about is profit and progress, while saying we care about all these things/problems, creating committees and councils who sit around all day discussing the problem but never making any push towards putting into place anything to combat the problems, because after all it would cost money. And effort.Choabac said:
The bolded part is the important thing. Who cares if it is a private school? I want my son to go to the best school that offers reasonable value for money. Why pay $40,000 a year for a school marginally better than one for $20,000? Plenty of private/religious schools out there that are garbage, same with public. I will ask parents who have previously sent kids to the school, check out the goss on google and bother to physically go to the school and get shown around. I will also ask my son what he thinks of the school while he is there. If he thinks it is crap then what is the point?Salazar said:
I fully expect Abbott to start turning up to work in his pjs and start having press conferences on the beach while he goes for a dip. All he has to do is sling shit for a few more years and watch the swing put him into the big job.Agyar said:

I would say the umpires are pantsing both teams at the moment. Plus Geelong can't kick straight to save a little boy in hospital right now.Shaneus said:
Picked up Burnout 3, Freak Out (Stretch Panic outside of EU) and King's Field 4 from the ebgames 3 or 2 sale. For $20. KF4 is pretty much mint condition. Haven't played Burnout 3 since I lived with my last housemate who had an Xbox.

Can you use a PS3 controller with steam games (that support gamepads) or only 360 ones? I can't find the wireless receiver for the 360.

Google Motionjoy for the PS3 controller. 360 requires a wired controller or the wireless receiver. Just buy a wired controller from ebgames for $20 preowned.Sutton Dagger said:

You can download the MotioninJoy drivers and use your PS3 controller via USB as an emulated 360 wired controller, then all you have to do is change how the shoulder buttons work.Sutton Dagger said:

Thanks for the controller info guys, will probs just get a preowned one from EB then, Ebay seems expessive.
Also, what is the best way to stream 1080p content to the TV from a Mac? Apple TV can't do 1080p right?

Stick you postcode in the 'Find in store' dropbox and it'll tell you the nearest store with one. $26 at the moment. Glad I bought one during the last proper sale.Sutton Dagger said:

This monitor (which I've bought), seems bullshit on the audio front - it doesn't have speakers itself, and it seems only grudgingly to have a headphone jack. What am I going to do for speakers, and speaker input ?
