Bowties are cool

I think part of the problem is that small developers are using the "let's fly against convention" as a way of getting noticed. It doesn't work unless the game itself is strong enough to rise above that.
DnD night seemed to be gud. I think Aon is going to be out of country for the next three weeks or so. I will try and make a two session campaign to do for next week and the one after. The week after that, I will be in Melbourne and probably as unable as Aon to do anything.
So hopefully I can make a short campaign for the people turning up.

Exactly. Back off, fellas.

Didn't care for Limbo -- other than the artsy atmosphere, it was a pretty dull game -- but I did enjoy Braid which I felt was a pretty clever twist on platforming.

I'm fine with that if they have something unique and fun to put forth. Braid had some cool puzzles but it wasn't a huge step up from other stuff I had played. I really liked the visual theme of Limbo but found the gameplay boring and to be a chore. It wasn't fun. If I want to pay money to not have fun I want to expect that going in. I want to say, "I have $20 and I want to hate myself or roll around in shittiness for an hour and a half." At that point I usually just go grab a movie that I have read is so bad it is bad or chuck Bullet Witch or Alan Wake into the 360 and save myself a few bucks.
Fuck booking tickets over the internet.
1 hour of acute frustration with a shitty website.

10 minutes pleasant conversation over the phone.

^^^ I wonder which "prominent conservatives" Gerard has in mind. Scumsucking retards out of the Murdoch barrel who have spent their excuses for careers taking pissant shots at the ABC don't count.

Ticketmaster? Fuck they were painful when I used to try and use the website. When RATM came out I knew we had no choice other than to stake out the outlet at the Cats home ground from 6am.
Naw, a British playhouse.
I entered about 30 different permutations of my address. I even tried variant spellings of Queensland, for fuck's sake*.
*I was nearing the end of my tether. "Error. This address is incorrect. Please check and try again".
Get on that shit. Good vid.

I do wish EgoRapter would run a podcast with some of his mates as I could see it being hilarious and spot on correct a lot of the time. No idea how well he would cope outside of scripted videos though of course. The Tester stuff was a bit confusing.
Also Another World was pretty mind blowing at the time and I would argue does the 'against the grain' stuff incredibly well. It is a testament to how well it was made that people still to this day play it and love it. It is pretty cool that he worked on Future Wars before it with Paul Cuisset of Fade to Black fame. His new title Amy looks very, very interesting.
Also someone said something about OwlBoy the other day. I brought it up in here back in August after reading this RPS post, everybody give it a shot! Very fun game.
Awesome work, cheers!
Tonight's bounty!
Yeah, watched a YouTube video of it a while back and it looks awesome. I won't bother with the demo because I know I'll buy it anyway.

I always suspect these radical treatments involve clingfilm in some unpleasantly risky way.
Aha, I'm getting a Bunnings ad. Maybe you could pick up the materials for your DIY facial at Bunnings.

Has Gerard Henderson ever contributed anything worthwhile to society? I'm getting deja vu from the line "Catholicism is an easy target. Islam is not.". Pretty sure he said the exact same thing in the last article of his I bothered to read.
"It's just that in the ABC, as in universities, politically like appoints like". Took me 30 seconds to work out what the hell he was trying to say there. Worst phrasing ever.
I love how he criticizes Margaret and David for their tiny critique of Margaret Thatcher. It's like he doesn't realize the intense hatred she provokes in the motherland.
This sentence is hilarious
"It was another example of an ABC program in which everyone agreed with everyone else, in a fashionable leftist sort of way."
fashionable leftist sort of way. I love that

David and Margaret are the bees knees so fuck anyone who don't agrees.
Looking sour and cranky, as if he's missed breakfast, on Insiders.
It does seem to be an insoluble problem that all over the world, the folks who complain about public broadcasters not being politically centrist enough are asshole right-wingers whom it is impossible to take seriously.
Yeah, he couldn't be too bad, his scripted stuff seems pretty off the cuff at times. And Another World is still one of the finest games I never beat.
Good god, what vile tripe.
This too. Margaret can bit a bit airy fairy at times, but David keeps her on her toes.
It is, I went back the other week. Fifth time I think. Enjoyed the new exhibition and the building is as spectacular as ever.
What he fails to take into consideration is that these are artistic programs and the "left" almost has a monoply on artistic endevour atleast within this country. Objectively speaking what it takes to be a good artist appeals to people who are sympathetic to the ethos of the left; idealistic, openness, questioning authority. While I sort of agree that the ABC attacks both parties from the left he doesn't actually give an example of it from a news or current affairs program on the ABC. It is actually a really piss poor article love this part "However, any sample of ABC programs will reveal an over-representation of left-of-centre views and a gross under-representation of conservative positions" does he list any examples? no.
Damn
Should put a jaunty eyepatch on him or something. Mmm, classy.So, AusGAF. Finally found the solution to my final problem with comfy couching. This sucker. Now I control my PC from my laptop computer (no screen, just KBAM and perhaps with some tinkering, gamepad support) just as if it were a second monitor. KBAM gaming with a keyboard and mouse that doesn't have to sit on my lap is bliss.
Also, Nation Red is crazy amounts of fun.

i'd be a tosser as well if it meant i could fuck his new girlfriend
she is amazingly hot
Swords and Sworcery on iOS. I gave it a bit of a break after making it to the third screen and still had no idea what the fuck I was doing. So I press... here... with my finger... and hold? Or drag? And I double-tap to... do something? Even if gameplay is simple, if it's not obvious then it can be shit.
Is that right? My head is exploding trying to work it out. I think it's 8pm to 4am.
Man I'm rubbish at working out times...

After fifty hours in Skyrim, I'm now going to focus entirely on the big ticket quests (main plotline, mage guild, thieves guild, etc -- the ones where the most effort will have been spent).
It's painfully obvious that the game is about combat and combat only. Problem with a reincarnated wolf queen? Kill it. Need to reforge an amulet? Kill some guys. Bethesda have a lot to learn about interesting and diverse types of missions structures, and should look to New Vegas for a lot of these lessons.

Sheogorath one, as even though I still had to kill things, it was ever so slightly different
Wow, as someone who's been researching Australia's classification system for the past couple of weeks, the Germans really have it bad.
