Dungeons of Dredmor was in the last Humble Indie pack.
Also there is a major concern with picking younger bowlers full on because of the fatigue and injuries that have come up over the last few years, with Pattinson and Cummins going down quickly from their impressive starts. Don't want to continue that trend of rushing them in too hard.
I rate McGrath as the best bowler of all time. Dropped it on a dime for 5 hours in a row and heckled the shit out of the batsmen, heading back to the boundary at the end of every over trying to tear his baggy green asunder. Top bloke. Looking forward to him getting more involved with the young Australian bowlers.

He is.
25 is maybe pushing it. I usually go for 35-40 for a twin. It's probably fine though.
Also, is there a modern equivalent of Andy Bichel? That guy was awesome!
No, there is no modern equivalent, siddle is sort of close... but bic was better in every category.
I'm really super impressed by that, guess it explains teh delayed launch?
I think it's Thursdays.
So when they say something is out locally on the 21st they really mean it might be the 22nd?
No idea, been a while since I've anticipated something on psn. I vaguely remember it being thursdays or even 12am fridays, but I don't remember.
ask choc!
The Poetry of Science - Richard Dawkins and Neil de Grasse Tyson
Two of the greatest science educators in the world having a nice little chat about what the others do not understand bits of. Wonderful dialog to listen to, especially the early bits where Dawkins is trying to grasp the scale and size of the Universe's horizon.
No doubt it's old, but I'm watching and enjoying it greatly right now.

Every now and then I binge on Dawkins Youtube channel. It's great. My favourite is still Lawrence Krauss who has a couple of talks on there, along with a conversation one similar to the Tyson one you linked. Looking forward to his new book next month. http://www.amazon.com/dp/145162445X/?tag=neogaf0e-20
TASGAF MEETUP
WHEN: TOMORROW ARVO. I DO NOT KNOW EXACT TIME. ASK CLIPPER.
WHERE: Me, clipper and rezbit are meeting up in franklin park then walking down to salamanca - the water feature in the middle seems like a decent place. Or at one of the bars?
I think we should work out times so I know to actually wake up tomorrow.

RegionalVICGAF met up before MelbGAF so we cooler. Suck it everybody else.
And I thought finding a copy of Contact DS was impressive.
Deserves to be quoted.
The updates tend to be on the store around 5pm after I get home from work.
I hate you so friggin much right now.HELL. YES.
Tempted to triple dip on Costume Quest after already having it on PSN and XBLA.
My 40 odd packages have always been between 8-16 days. They did send me the wrong LBP keychain one time but they refunded my money and let me keep it. Stocking stuffer for someone who loves Resistance!
I'm sure I will find someone eventually
Eh, I'm sure they will just make it Origin exclusive and then chuck it on Game On Demand once it hits the benchmark. Or just enjoy the import sales, still being released in New Zealand and the UK.
How the hell did a copy of Mother 3 end up at EB?!? Who would be dumb enough to import a niche Japanese game and then trade it into EB? You would think the effort taken to import it would mean they would already know how much they could get for it selling privately.
And I thought finding a copy of Contact DS was impressive.
For the second one, I should have linked to the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLctxRf7duU&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=SP60FA6951C8318996
It must have been before they upgraded their channel to allow longer videos.
Woo, should be good! Salazar I know you're out there too! Water feature thing sounds good. So uh...do I just awkwardly walk up and say "Clipper? Kritz?"

Making? It's well and truly made. I think its even out in America.
I'd normally agree wholeheartedly, but the Craig version is meant to be really good. Ala the yank Let Me In.
Yeah, it made no sense. I'm pretty sure I bought it around 2007, which meant the game was only a year old!
I've actually had some pretty weird luck with picking up random niche stuff locally. During high school I stumbled across a couple of jpn version Last Bible (Megaten spinoff series) games for the original Gameboy at a ghetto Revolution CD store.
Haven't played any of them though :lol

Dragon Tattoo was announced and Craig attached 18 months ago. Along with that great news was that the amazing David Fincher was directing. Then a month later the fantastic Rooney Mara took the lead role. Also of note was Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross handling the music again after their collaboration with Fincher on The Social Network.
The book certainly works well with American audiences and the trilogy did very well in bookstores over there.
The movie is already out in the US and premiered in the UK a week ago. Trent even released the 3 disc soundtrack opus nearly 2 weeks ago.
The trailer with Trent and Karen O's cover of Immigrant Song also did the rounds with quite a lot of buzz.

yeah just walk up to a random bogan and read out one of my reviews or something
If you need help, I will be a morbidly obese man in the early 20s wearing a Giant Bomb tshirt:
Little tip I discovered today while at work which might come in handy for people here. Will be posting in one of the iPhone threads as well, but just in case you don't venture over there...
reptile: Are those twofers interchangeable? I've had my eye on Katamari for a while, but I'm sure there's another game there I could add to the pile. PS. Thanks for the tip on that Iraniuman techno DJ guy. Squeezes out some pretty clean sounds!Work-Shaneus said:
I hope he doesnt find out what happened to the author anytime soon.
Also, best intro scene of the year for a game Ive played.
"Vile Mechon. If you think the Homs, the people of Bionis, are just waiting for you to pick us off - you are sorely mistaken!".
Getting right into it today. Music is lovely.

GAME have the wifi PSVita with Ridge Racer and some kinky headphones for $350.
Dick Smith have Once Upon A Monster for $40 so I may need to hit them up for some more Double Fine goodness. HOW DO I OWN ALL THEIR GAMES?
Also I can understand complaining about The 3 Stooges getting a remake but damn, Dragon Tattoo looks to be one of the movie of the year contenders.
Anything on that list can be bundled. The Katamari PSP game and the Tekken bundles aren't though.
The PS3 Katamari is meant to be great.

Hell yes. Just nice to remember that there are different people in the world rather than just Nolan North and Nolan North Putting On A Womans Voice.

Noted. I'll just say 5/5 stars.
Katamari PS3 is indeed pretty great
My first (and only, so far) Katamari game
Vanille's voice actor wished me a happy birthday back in October. I was pretty chuffed about that

The Zelda anniversary one looks balla but I would only grab it to add to my collection alongside my Crisis Core PSP. Will wait for the dual stick revision
, actually waiting for all the cool niche games to arrive in the next 12 months like we saw with the DS. Phoenix Wright, Contact, 999, Ghost Trick et al!

mainstream media, sigh
1. Its illegal to show screenshots of the game in Australia now that it is banned. So they have broken the law. In some ways, fair enough.
2. 'Fans of the original game took to Twitter to air their outrage, calling the Governments decision thoughtless and arcane.

uh
its not the Governments decision. Government law puts the COB in place but it is a purely independent body..... Julia Gillard did not say NO NO SYNDICATE NO

refused classification content can not be shown, screened or sold within the borders of Australia
a screenshot is showing something.
I'll dig up the act reference in a minute
That thing is on the fucking front cover of our goddamn magazine.
I'm unwilling to assert that the use of shown or screened is a reference to screenshots of the game. Any reasonable interpretation would probably relate to an actual demonstration of interactive play. I'd need the legislation to check though.
