Because you for some reason forgot to put them onto your phone/ipod like I did?
And that's shit about Sega. This is getting ridiculous. Hopefully they all land on their feet.

It's going to be a very full plane to GDC.
I don't think any of us own it, so probably not. Let us know of your interest soon as it probably would mean a change of venue to UNSW... Also, if you're interested, where do you live and how would you be traveling (so we can work out whether you can transfer anybody/anything).

no! i was standing still! they were those curving pointy nail scissors, i was cutting the price tag off of my first school backpack.. somehow i got distracted and, well, by stabbed i mean horizontally sliced across the surface. fuck knows why my parents let me do that. they never did again hey.
last time i went and had my eyes tested they did a laser topography scan of the eye surface, around the edges is fine but the middle has a mass of scar tissue that apparently nothing can be done about. it was 1984 when it happened so i think they just stitched it shut with some hemp twine and called it a day. two weeks in hospital and i wasn't allowed to read or watch tv. they even put me in an empty ward so i wouldn't try and look at the other kids or something.

I had this same thought just yesterday.
In the end I decided not to play either!

I regret not getting tickets to Roger Waters now, even though my girlfriend's dad offered to buy them for us one night last year.
Valentine's Day is shit.
Bogans are amusing. I especially enjoyed your poem Fred.
Rezbit, did you get the uni situation sorted out?

expect studios to continue to close until the AU$ drops
if it ever does
its more expensive to have a house here now then the US and that was not the case 5 years ago
Some of our employment conditions (which are good) that the US don't have are significantly causing this as well
if you want to be a game dev you need to go overseas imo

FF13 was good.
If you really care about story, on the start screen of FF13-2 there is an option in which you can go in and read ALL the information you gather in FF13, also storyline etc.

Essentially the course has been canned due to lack of government funding and low enrolments, but I was offered a place in an alternative. Trouble is it's quite a bit harder and more time-consuming (honours with a research project.) Still deciding whether to go back to my old work in Melbourne, try and find something permanent down here or do the uni thing. Thanks for asking anyway, fapp!
I never knew that is where the Wide World of Sports music came from.
Now the song from the Disney version is stuck in my head too. Even when I read the original I hear it in the Walrus voice: http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/walrus.html

. Well, unless we end up moving to UNSW. I'm not going to lug the PS3 into Uni...I'm not going to get XIII-2 until it drops in price. I waited until XIII was $20 and I'm glad I did.
PALGN is a video game website for VIDEO GAMES, not for tampons, not for maxi pads, not for some bullshit auctioning site and certainly not for free iPhones. How can you expect anyone to take this place seriously if that's what they're greeted with on the home page? Assuming the home page loads up in the first place.
What little remains of the fragile PALGN community has no interest in seeing or reading about the latest and greatest moisture absorption statistics

wow lol

To be honest the URL sounds like dog food and not video games.

God damn it I hate Oracle with all my being.
Also since we have a common link, Blackboard is horrible.
Congrats! Make sure to relax and remember what Jintor said. Fake some quiet confidence about yourself. Make them feel comfortable around you.
Yeah I hadn't been rechecked in 7 years when I got a new prescription end of last year. ClearlyContacts have free frames for new customers so the whole thing only cost me $70 for a pretty awesome pair!
GeeGAF! We should hang out sometime.Hey ausGAF, just got my account verified
Oh...
No you are. Also Halo CE arrived!
-3 and -3.5
I didn't start wearing them until I started working full time in a job where I had to read addresses all the time so I felt bad if I didn't wear them as I wouldn't be operating at my peak potential. Have had them since start of high school.
Amen to that. All the shops pimping the club only when they were winning was intolerable.
At least you have found a solid career dude, hopefully others can carve themselves a spot in the same industry but in a more predictive job.

Unless you want to start your own company/indie. Indie in Australia is probably among the better in the world. BUT, shitty anything else.
It's why I'm making my own indie game then throwing it at companies later on. Also check out Tsumea, there's at least 100 gaming companies around AUs.

Anyway, I just checked my XIII save and it has 17 hours on it - Chapter 7. So I dunno, maybe I'll go back and rush through it? Or just read through the beginner's primer. FFXIII-2 is already amazing because omg save anywhere!
I only ever went to palgn for their bargain list and the game exchange
Hey! High five. I work in Melbs and live in Geelong...s. Welcome to AusGAF. Enjoy your stay.Hey ausGAF, just got my account verified
Hey reptile, know what's awesome? Not only knowing you have a few episodes of S3 to download of Archer, but finding out that there was a 3-ep special AND I was missing the last three episodes of S2. So, so, so so good.
Thanks, to you and all the other well-wishers, I'll do my best. I'm a bit more reserved these days, especially after looking after my family full time for so long. I'm hoping whatever my mate has told them helps me across the line. Fingers crossed.
Specsavers is pretty great value also, their 2-for-1 deals are well worth a look (prescription sunnies or a spare in case you break or lose one). They may not be brand name frames, but honestly who cares? I actually thought the majority of branded frames there looked terrible. As long as they look good and suit you, that's what counts.
Funnily enough, I was at Sunglass Hut buying some regular sunnies to wear when I have contacts in. The girl looked at the prescription pair I had on and said, sincerely "They're Prada, right?" Nope a cheap pair from Specsavers, shows how much brand matters.
For contacts, I get fitted at the shop and then buy online, the price difference is huge. WebContacts is the place I buy mine from.
Last line slayed me.

here's what I have learned
Canada- maybe. learn French and you have a decent shot in Montreal
US- good luck and probably not if you don't have a degree and aren't a programmer
UK- LOL nearly as bad as here. also getting a UK visa is not a trivial thing
mainland Europe- places like Remedy, Quantic Dream, Guerrilla, IO, a few places in Sweden, but you'd still need decent experience to be considered. Also mobile is not considered always decent experience for a AAA developer.
als0- no book better not smart mouth me
Singapore- lots of scope
China and India- well, there's a lot of people in China and India.
Either way, get some experience while you are here. Even when all of the places here were closing, the remaining locals were still importing people for jobs.
Pro tip- if your heritage (either by both or marriage) allows you to get a passport in a country with strong games industry (or if you can get a passport for ANY EU country which allows you to work anywhere else in the EU).
Everyone pile into the Toonami nostalgia thread in OT. Fuck, I miss Toonami.

I've been a lurker for the better part of 5 years, figured I should start participating here a bit more often!
How many Sydney siders are there here? Are there regular drinking catchups and events, cause if there are, I'm keen.
As an introduction, I'm the guy who owns AustralianGamer.com, the two Mana Bar videogame Cocktail bars, and I do marketing for MCV Pacific.
Cheers!

Choc! You're copy of Halo CE arrived today. I noticed it didn't have a proper case so I googled around and found a cool bit of art that was made for the release and used the templates in the Custom Artwork thread to whip one up.
Going to fire it up tomorrow after work so I can crank the volume up for that first step out on Halo.
Anyway so the Melbourne Mana Bar is open? I don't remember the opening being discussed on here, only the endless wanting.

We usually have a list but apparently it has gotten stale according to some people...

Anyway, I'm going to create my own video game bar! With hookers, and blackjack.
In fact, forget the video game bar.
