Wow, what a shitty law, didn't even know it existed.

Shows how far we've come when a guy who's holy book advocates death for homosexuals is out there defending homosexuals.

YES. If you enjoyed either Infamous at all you will love the spin off apparently. They throw out the notion of reality and just have fun with it. Kind of like the shift from Saints Row 1 to 2 (or 3). Plus it is standalone so you don't even need the earlier games. For $8 it is a steal.

I think might buy then. The 16 bucks it was before was a rip.

The Priest here sounds like a good bloke.

However this bit made me laugh.

Father Kelly said he hoped people would not find it odd a Catholic priest was campaigning for the law change.
"The church has always defended basic human rights, it's never said intolerance or violence should be tolerated," he said.

Had seen it but the gf brought it to my attention again this morning (I assume it was on one of the morning programs) and didn't remember it popping up here.

Mainly brought it up because I love the 4 chord genre, like a warm hug on a bleak day of reality. Ball Park Music and Foster The People have really brightened up this year for me.

Ah I see.

And ballpark music are good people.

Not sure if I should buy it... I mean, its so cheap... but I don't have a job, so my savings fund is ever depleting. nggg.

EDIT: would it be possible to classify it under study tool that will help further my knowledge of Japanese History? :p

I don't even like strategy games and I am considering buying it for that reason, so sure, why not?

Ah yes I remember you picking up a bunch of games for your new rig. Just wish I had the time for it, booked out all day tomorrow and Sunday morning and then back to work on Monday :(

At least that means you have plenty of time to devote to it and get value out of your spending!

Hey all. Just posting from my phone.
Holiday at jazz convention almost over in bundaberg, has been fun so far. Currently waiting at mon repos beach to go and view turtle laying/hatching. Hopefully get too see something, they give up at 11pm.

My dad is in 2 bands for new years night but has refused to play unless myself and girlfriend can attend. It is usually only convention people that are allowed to attend, anyway lol @ that.

Hope everyone's holidays are going well, back to brisbane, gaming and more house hunting soon.
Love to all,
Marsh

I have learned that Japanese troops can no more compensate for my astoundingly bad generalship than could French, Saxon, or Roman soldiers under my command.

Jazz convention in Bundaberg, Marshmellow ? Amazing.

I think its kinda cool really. I have discovered that 9/10 gaffers are either black, or have glasses or short facial hair.

End of Season 3. Entourage is still funny. Which is to say, Ari, Drama, and Turtle are still funny.

And, strike me down, Beverly D'Angelo aged well. Or was deftly attended by some godlike surgeons.

So the anti-new-gambling-legislation campaign is kind of hilarious.

Awwww look, they have links for problem gamblers to get help. This was the huge billboard down the road from me for a while, in fact. "Who voted for a licence to punt ?"

The previous billboard, which in retrospect was pretty civilised, was "Stay Harder Longer".

I like how the page is also available in Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean, so that even the people who don't speak English can read about things that are un-uhstrayen.

Well at least they've got the demographics right! But I didn't know koreans were problem gamblers too:eek:

I was under the impression that gambling was not quite legal in Korea. A comedian, who I don't particularly like, had his career torpedoed a while back because he had lost big at a Philippines casino. I don't know if that was to do with any law or just the pompous social conservatism of the tv networks.

Edit: yeah, Shin Jung Hwan. He got fucked good.

I assumed shan was a Harry Potter cosplayer. Totally.

If there's anything I've learnt from the MvC3 threads (and largely from the internet in general, but it kind of feels more diverse in the FCG threads) it's that it doesn't matter who you are or what you look like: on the internet, I only give two shits about the contributions you can make to a decent conversation.
