Don't even bother going to the highpoint imax. It's more expensive than the museum imax, smaller screen and seats are uncomfortable.
Museum one is 3rd biggest in the world.

Telstra more likely, since they've partnered with google. They've opened up 'Androidland' in the cbd, similar to apple stores.
Get the Samsung Note if you want a bigger screen (5.3").
I've had a look at both Note and Nexus prime, Note looks fantastic and it will be getting the ICS update in jan-feb. No real point in getting the prime simply for ICS. Note beats it in every other feature.
OK, TasGAF meetup form is ready. Anybody in Tassie in the days leading up to Christmas, fill it in so we know you are interested. If you have other venue suggestions, I can edit the form too.
You would only be attracting the wrong type of women. If dumb as a door knob is an attractive feature then by all means wear Ed Hardy, women with any semblance of style, taste and dignity dry retch in the vincinity of said brand and its wearers.

Booze helps. Unless it's too much.
The Note looks too big. The reason you get a Nexus is because Google actually pushes updates to those unlike other devices where you have to wait for the manufacturer's whim.
That said they didn't update the Nexus One nearly enough.
This man know's what's up.
Although I love the irony that the post came from someone whose username contains "guido".
Need a mate to grab you, apologise, and feign conversation with you when you are passing out of the amazingly charming phase.
I am gradually getting better at riding the booze charisma train and getting off before it crashes.

It looks too big, but once you start using it, it feels normal. Looks a bit weird only while answering calls.
Samsung makes Google phones. So they will be pushing updates on their own handsets for sure...that's what they said in their latest press release or something...ICS was confirmed for S2 and Note for jan-feb.
The dif between getting a nexus and a manufacturer supported phone though is, the manufacturer might do the next iteration, yes, but google will put out new updates for ever (as long as the hardware can run it).

The Nexus is a Google phone, despite the hardware being manufactured by Samsung. Based on history, don't expect to see ICS until March. I waited so long for an update to 2.0 with my HTC Hero I ended up going to xda-developers and did it myself.
Is it even coming out here?

You can buy codes or games from overseas, there are no region locks on the keys. Lag might be an issue though.

Yeah true. I didn't experience any problems (except queues to get into servers) during the stress test.

Great game, but it's probably best to check a few more reviews first before spending a whole 10 cents.

Forgot to delete the part about Game Dev, was referring to TOR. Game Dev made my iphone burn up for a week or so.

I didn't get to play it long enough to form an opinion on but it is still an mmo. With that bioware feel. Could be good with a regular group.Worth buying cod?
Sorry I meant TOR, Game Dev Story is awesome.
Prototype 2, Jintor?

Trailer looks okay, I'm just disappointed that they replaced generic hoody-douche for a even more generic angry-bald-military-twat. Looks to me like they're using the tried-and-tested multiple zone mechanic to avoid the cabin fever that set in - at least for me - on the first game due to the smallish play area. I don't think it's going to set the world on fire but I'm only going on the trailer, which really did nothing to differentiate itself from its predecessor.
Will play.
Can you comment on it in any way, even to the extent of meh/woo/homina-homina-homina?
I'm looking over the NDA now. But probably not. I don't think the NDA itself is embargoed (technically speaking the Arkham City review's NDA was itself embargoed, which is ridiculous) but basically I can't speak as to hands-on online until, like next year, and that's probably all you want to know right now.
I got some pretty interesting interviews out of it, personally speaking.
Yup, but I am also a Playstation Plus member, pre-ordered a Vita and take a girl at her word when she says she's on the pill, so I am very much a Fox Mulder 'I want to believe' type with certain things.
That said, I had fun in the beta*
*I also had fun in the Star Trek Online beta

Gotta love people having a sense of humour.
Also the waves were pumping this morning. About time. And even better as it was overcast/raining everyone stayed the fuck away. Good times.

I'm glad to hear that you the trip has been personally rewarding.
I am saddened to hear that NDAs are written as such to prevent people from even saying single word impressions. Double saddened to think that NDAs have embargoes. I assume we are not far off of having NDAs about the embargoes about speaking of the NDAs.

Actual Review: RAGE
http://youtu.be/rAS5fo7cg2M
So, yeah. There was a bit of trouble with this review. I was really unhappy with how the first review came out in terms of actual writing and voicing - it was way too pretentious and obnoxious with me trying to play on the "hardship of professional reviewers". I streamlined a lot of that stuff and cut about 20 seconds from the video.
So, in the end, I think I'm happy with this redone version. It's less wanky, although a bit too Sterling. Decent tradeoff.

very good stuff, Mr Kritz
if you want to reduce the echo or room sound when you record the audio, cover up shiny surfaces (like glass doors or mirrors) with heavy curtains or blankets, particularly behind where you record the voice. Or if you have a laptop and a large wardrobe filled with clothes, record in there. Also, inside a parked sedan in a garage in a relatively modern car (like last 20 years) can be good.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING PANIC STUFF
I am looking for this book:
Chess Exam: Matches Against Legends - You Vs. Fischer
I need it to arrive before christmas. Amazon and bookdepo are past their xmas arrival date for that stuff.
Anyone know any local online retailers or physical retailers that have websites where I can check stock online?

Go to Alcatraz on the 8am ferry.
Walk on the Golden Gate bridge.
Eat at a tacqueria in the Tenderloin.

Cool.
Alcatraz was the only touristy thing I've done in SF when I was there once previously for business. It's cook but I don't need to go back.
We'd already planned to do the Golden Gate walk and my wife will try the chowder at Fisherman's Wharf (I'm not big on seafood).
So far we're also planning to drive to Silicon Valley (Computer History Museum and other stuff) and Napa Valley (wine country) after a week in SF in early March.
Telstra's customer database was able to be accessed by a simple google search....no biggie >_>

When asked to vacate the seat for the pregnant lady, someone shouted 'She chose to be pregnant'.
I have no words.
