Very psyched. Snowboarding is one of my favourite video game genres. SSX3 was amazing, and still hasn't been bettered to this day (Amped 3 was very good though). The thing I really liked about SSX3 was that when you unlocked all mountains you could do all of the peaks in one run, and if my memory serves me correctly it went for about 50 minutes (edit: looking at videos it was considerably shorter than that, but maybe I just took my time as I preferred tricks over racing). It's a shame the new SSX doesn't have this feature but it looks great all the same.

I was sure I heard last year there was going to be a PC version but now all I can find are references to PS3/360 which isn't a deal breaker but I would have much preferred to have it on PC (1080/60, loads of AA etc). Hopefully a few people from AusGAF get it (I will probably go with the 360 version) for score/time chasing, as I believe it's using the same system as NFS used for highscore tracking.

I loved doing the entire peak run in SSX. Gamespot had some good footage yesterday of one of the devs playing and he was daaaaaamn good. IGN should have sme full peak runs up today. I don't mind how they've split all the different peaks up. Game is looking good.

I would double up for a PC version. Think I'll go get my pre-order today.

Fredescu and x3n05 - that Steam thing you both wanted has been gifted.

Thanks man. I'll be reckoning the shit out of some kingdoms soon.

Yeah looks great so far after some trepidation after the SSX Grit reveal. Didn't notice this nugget of information though so now it looks like a PS3 pickup.

The PlayStation 3 version of this game is set to come with Mt. Fuji and more exclusive content on its release in 2012

to be fair global warming is a silly name. climate change was better.

Calling it 'global warming' was the dumbest thing they could've done. It's far too late for 'climate change' to catch on now...
(damn, Megadrive-d)

Oh dear, there's an Open Universities ad on GAF for a Bachelor of Arts (?) in ... Counter Terrorism... And the text asks if I love watching Border Security, and has pictures of clueless airport security agent drones. Sounds like a great career!
Here it is

[Fogz]

alright peeps

Feb 8th and 9th im in Melbourne

Feb 11th-13th im in Brisvegas

on a vita world tour


In town on business so if you want to meet up and shiz, then lets do something

You aren't coming here to show vita to the zebras!?

 

[DualShadow]

Ponting might have another nervous lunch.

 

[reptilescorpio]

It pains me to know that the great Brian Reynolds is over at Zynga rather than starting up his own company to make a RoN2.

Also the cover for the New Vegas GOTY edition is awesome! Shits all over the horrible OG cover. Only $39 on consoles too. Picked up all the content for about $15 on PC during the Christmas sale though.

 

[evlcookie]

We totally need to get Grill'd for lunch on saturday if it does actually happen.

Kritz, You figured out where you're actually staying? Suburb name and all that?

 

[jambo]

Channel 9 are only showing the afternoon sessions of the cricket in Adelaide =\

Wait, you're suggesting going to Grill'd when Beer Deluxe has a burger bar?!

Edit: OK, there aren't any Grill'd in Tasmania so I retract my statement.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Not running it on GEM? Pretty lame if so.

 

[Rezbit]

It's to get people to get their arses down to the cricket.

Also Grill'd is damn good!

 

[jambo]

Not running it on GEM? Pretty lame if so.

Nope, running episodes of F-Troop, Fresh Prince and Home Shopping crap =\

All other states have the morning session live.

 

[evlcookie]

I know they have a burger but they don't have that small drink bottle for $6!!



We also don't have to go to a bar / pub as kritz doesn't care if there's drinking or not. But it's probably easier to actually hit up a pub. If fappen turns up we just have to keep him off the booze.

 

[codswallop]

It's OK, I just realised there's no Grill'd in Tasmania so might be a reasonable place for a foreigner to try. The closest to Beer Deluxe would be the one in Degraves St (if it's still there?) which isn't the worst place to go anyway. There's always a Nandos right across the road (if that's still there) from Beer Deluxe too.

Of course I'd recommend everyone goes to Movida Next Door... it's probably not really suitable for a meetup though.

Oh yeah there has to be drinking -- gotta try Melbourne's awesome craft beer scene!

CricketGAF in the OT sorry. Have one ready to go for Pontings and was planning on doing a double raise for the both of them here!

Ponting has been really unlucky being stuck before milestones at lunch this series.

What to do on Australia Day if it's raining

Sit inside watching the Cricket while sinking a slab of beers by yourself while your partner cleans around you and your son stands to the side holding his bike helmet wistfully wishing that things could be different.

That is my Dad at his hunting lodge after taking down a herd of Kangaroos.

Spoiler

no idea, was told once but can't remember

 

[reptilescorpio]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!

Missed the highest Australian 4th wicket partnership by 2 runs!

 

[jambo]

Bugger!

Hopefully Punter can go on to 200 and beyond!

 

[Omikron]

Ponting has never scored a triple...

 

[jambo]

If Hussey digs in I can see Punter going past his previous 257 record

 

[BanShunsaku]

I was going to ask this yesterday but thought it might be from something hip and then I would by default not be hip by not knowing what it was from.

super jelly

Surprisingly this is a Christmas gift from my Mum of all people.

Spoiler

I may or may not have told her exactly what to get for me

Edit: I just realised I didn't actually give it as a gift idea. Mum FTW

 

[reptilescorpio]

Punter! 200! What a comeback series, will keep him in the papers for the best reasons now.

Both him and Clarke have locked in the 4-0 white wash and we should now overtake India in the test standings.

Koonyong.

Went to St Kilda to look around and buy lunch. Couldn't find any Chinese takeouts. Ate McDonald's because I'm a bad person.

Lots of duplicate shops. Three sweet shops, more ice cream ones... Lots of bullshit.

Trams are strange and alien to me.

It's from a Canadian whiskey ad about being sexist.

Don't you mean Kooyong? Although I had no idea where that was either.

What is the main strip in St. Kilda? I remember handing out along there and having a mini pub crawl in the afternoon with a mate and a handful of comics I grab from a great place there. Also lots of hot female people.

Thank you good sire!

I don't like Thai or sushi

Well that confirms your failure.

 

[evlcookie]

The man has already confirmed he hates food, Even though he is overweight. It's a modern mystery.

So what do you want to do on Saturday then kritz and what time were you thinking?

Did you want to hit up just a bar / pub or go somewhere in particular for lunch then stroll down for drinks?

 

[Rezbit]

Why you no like Thai? Damn now I feel like Thai.

 

[codswallop]

Lots of duplicate shops. Three sweet shops, more ice cream ones... Lots of bullshit.

If you're talking about Acland St, then all the cakes look nice but are pretty crappy.

There is also a Grill'd there, isn't there? You should've eaten there!

 

[BanShunsaku]

Are you Karl Pilkington?

 

[Danoss]

Hoegaarden for $30 today. Any good?

It's not too bad to have every now and then. I find it's quite a heavy beer. For that price it's worth sampling, if you can get some mates to take some off your hands.

I like a nice light and crisp beer, me and a mate brew our own at a local microbrewery to get the one we like.

 

[Rezbit]

Yeah if you like wheat beer it's nice. Worth a try for that price. Not sure what I will drink for Aussie day by a pool tomorrow. Definitely something easy to drink and refreshing.
