Sure does.
I can't disrespect Tiffany like that. I don't avatar bet. What we have is real.
1. One Indian batsman will make a stylish hundred.
2. A commentator will refer to Siddle's passion and anger, and possibly to him being a good old country boy.
3. Gambhir will fail.
4. There will be drops in the Aussie slips. Consequential drops.

Planned on spending the evening washing and designating clothes around the house. Ended up playing 4 hours of AssCreed Bro just doing side stuff. I have no regrets in my messy house.
Fixed. Without fail. Would bet my son's life on it. Bill will also pledge his undying loyalty to him. Well, maybe that last bit is a touch too much.

you guys know there a demo of bastion on the chrome web store? i didnt https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oohphhdkahjlioohbalmicpokoefkgid/details
Awww no avatar bet? That would have been fun!
Spent half the night playing Xenoblade. Great game, just went and bought the soundtrack too!
Then I booted up some more Football Manager 12 (bought it half price the other day from some site). I have no idea what I'm doing but it sure is addictive! I assumed that using Man Utd wouldn't be "fun" so I chose a team in the 1st division with the coolest name - Nottingham Forest! lol I'm about a quarter of the way through the season and I'm 3rd on the table - so doing alright I guess. Only thing that sucks is that I didn't realise the club has like no money so I haven't been able to mess around with transfers. Good fun though, last manager game I played was probably Championship Manager 3 so it's been a while.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Dark Souls is soooooooooooo gooooooooooooood.
Arkham City is sooooooooooooooo goooooooooooooooood.
And I have Rayman Origins sitting there.
And I just bought StarFox 64 3D.
Gaming. Feels good man.

I never realised it was Tiffany.
Pity they weren't caught. Sounds like they caused a bunch of property damage, both to the vehicles and banks involved.

Huh. I guess that explains why I have "terrible luck" at work, when I'm looking at a video.
I approve heartily of this.
I am disappointed by this. Deeply, truly and utterly.
Hey, guys that are 3DS friends with me and have names that means I can be sure you're from AusGAF (had to skip a few real name people that I was pretty sure or AusGAF guys, but not 100%), make sure you download the new Swapnote thingy for a special message 
.
Although I am sort of scared by what Kritz and some of you may send in response. Let's keep it SFW, guys!

Although once again I think it's way too early to judge the system, the moving goalposts in the Media Create thread are funny.

JB you crazy. Waiting on 2 orders that are months and months old, they refuse to say they aren't getting stock in and it is still available to buy on the webstore. Ordered The Transformers 1986 bluray and Season 1 of Fosters for the child on Monday and they arrived today. I know what I am doing today.
Dark Souls with Artbook on it's way from Zavvi at the moment for $30, looking forward to cracking it open.
Also Dead Space 2 is $5 on the US Steam store.
Ripping the Foster episodes so I can them on a USB so the boy can watch it on the media drive-less TV in the lounge.
I remember hearing it ran like crap so I never bothered checking it out even though it is a pretty big deal. Square have agreed to make some games for the store too at a recent conference.
Got Arkham City still sitting there since launch, about an hour played.

Still jelly even if you were there until sunrise.
Will bite. Looks like fun.

Not to sound like a Vita fanboy but no-one should have expected it to do insane numbers with such strong competition and a light lineup with big PSP titles still coming out. It will be interesting where it sits in 12 months time, or even 2 months when it is out worldwide and the launch titles are released.
So i downloaded the 3 new 3DS games on JP 3DS
metal gear is really awesome but the full 3D won't be useable imo. Its to hard to keep the system stable without movement when you are using the controls for various things such as camera control
RE:R also impressive.
New Final Fantasy is guitar hero/rockband with FF music from all the games
wat
but its pretty fun to play. I don't think it will get a western release so i might import it

Dungeon Defenders 4 pack anyone?
Yea throw me down for 1.
It looks like every game except 1 today that can get you a gift is a tower defense style game. I guess i will be buying them all because really, can you ever have enough tower defense games.
Also, Korean alphabet isn't too shabby except when it's written. I don't get why some words are put below others? Like to spell my name, it's 2 letters going to the right then the last one is thrown underneath it all to finish it off.
Spelling TED in english is just TED but in Korean it seems to be
TE
D
Edit: I just checked TED and it goes across in korean with nothing below. God dammit! I guess there are rules.
I guess we know who's doing all the talking when we go !

Also did you already get Serious Sam 3? They ran out of keys but someone also said something about not being able to get it outside of the US?
Forgot to ask if you had already been through Warrnambool, otherwise I can show you my local Schnitz joint!
녿메
Yea i was able to get my key without any issues this morning. I guess everyone jumped on it and eurogamer caught on. SS3 is probably still worth it at $20 anyway but $12 really was a steal.
Was to head through today! but I'm getting a lift all the way back to melb now
$35 saved!I'll chuck this here in case anyone can help, but I have a spare copy of Nation Red from a four pack that I wouldn't mind swapping for SPAZ. Any takers? Both are the same price ATM.
Don't care if it was crafted from coal or whatever, I'd rather just have a game that I can play sitting in my Steam rather than one I can't!
PS. From the vids, it looks like Star Control. Is it?

Off topic but did you gift me a copy of Nation Red? I swear I remember it happening but I don't have it anywhere? I think my mind is full of fuck this week without work.
The best bit was when he said that if he was talking on the phone he would have been much more professional. PROOF READ YOUR EMAILS MORON! Also the Obama reference was a nice touch, they both have indeed suffered at the hands of parody and will rise above it to be a great success. Seriously, fuck MSNBC for giving this guy a platform to continue making a living as a cunt. Less people in this world like him the better.

All sides need to be told but it wasn't told in this instance. He says he had a bad day but there are instances of this happening back to the start of this year. He is straight out lying in the interview for damage control reasons. He even says that his other clients are laughing about it. Would be nice for him to explain WHY the problems occurred which lead to the irate customers and how he can do better in the future. All he says in the interview is that he doesn't tolerate emails that are negative. He even says that he might go to PAX but then again might not. Just an empty piece.
It's not an editorial piece. It's basically just a direct feed from him to you, and that's fine, because it wasn't there before. He's telling his lying bullshit side of the story and MSNBC is merely transcribing it up, presenting it in a half-way decent format, and leaving it to the reader to judge Paul on his own merits.
is this in response to my post about jap 3ds?

At the same time they don't bother telling the other side so readers of the piece who have no idea what Penny Arcade (or Reddit or NeoGAF) is won't know the other side of the story. MSNBC is a pretty wide ranging site and it will mean a lot of people will have a view that this poor guy has been torn to shreds by some nerds for no reason.
Just irritates me when the media is happy to misinform people.
His story needs to be told to get to the bottom of WHY this happened. He is a dick but this bust up has come about because of other factors, which seem to be the company developing the device not being consumer friendly either with illegally charging credit cards months and months before shipping out the product.
Maybe I am just annoyed that the person who did the phone interview didn't ask good enough questions, or at the very least create a dialogue to bring out the correct information. When he said he had a bad day the guy on the phone should have brought up the fact that there are other stories from months ago of abusive emails.

It reads like the journalist is writing for the people who are already following the OceanMarketting story and not for his regular MSNBC audience, which is admittedly a major flaw in that article. In that sense it's been written as a larger component part to some kind of nebulous all-article which does not, in fact, exist. So yeah, you've got a point.
I don't think you can say whether or not his questions were bad though. The journo's twitter alludes to a couple of more damaging questions that got cut, like one about the site's plagiarism which Paul blamed on 'Indian freelancers'.
That's primarily where it stings, yeah.

India really should have used the DRS lol
Good point, can't put all the blame on the journalist when they don't decide what gets cut. Looks like the editor wanted to twist the article to what he wanted.
"I'm so sorry I got caught."
On point #2, I'm almost there. Only need one more howler.
On point #1, pretty close. Nearly decided on the matter.
#3 is out of my control.

I notice that Fred and Orbi have Dungeon Defenders on their wishlist, either of you guys want in on the last spot of the 4 pack? Only $2.81USD!
I gave Jase one. THE TRUTH COMES OUT!@!!
Actually, I wasn't sure if I gave it to you or not, but going by my accounting, one went to Jase, one went to my brother and one went to me. If you were interested in it, would you want to gift me a copy of SPAZ for it? Only go for it if you're actually interested, though. Don't want you buying it just for the sake of doing me a favour. But it does look like a fun little twin-sticker.
