Never thought of that, Rudd quitting could be a boost to Labour, especially if they can get Beattie in the seat instead.

Good piece on Labour history too http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3853818.html

It is kinda funny, but the biggest obstacle to the ALP has generally been itself, division, splintering... etc... even when in opposition, its disunity and what not has been one of the big causes of its inability to get power back, not the strength of the other side.

 

[Kritz]

To be fair, Archer is the best comedy on tv.

Triple J have been playing a lot of Brisbane band Last Dinosaur and they are great, as well as unearthed winners Snakadaktyl. lots of good things in Australian music if you scratch the terrible Stan walker/Jessica mauboy surface

 

[Yagharek]

Slightly on topic, I dont hate Uncharted. I just think the gameplay has done all it can without wearing out its welcome. Lots of games get to that point. Very few know when to quit before ruining their reputation.

On the topic of Shinobido 2 on PS Vita, I think I'll go back and give Tenchu on Wii another go (same developer). Really need a good ninja stealth game, and seeing how rare those are I might as well try the cheaper option first.

I'm planning to pick up an iPhone 4S to replace my Nexus S. Since I've been out of the iOS arena for a while, could I grab some recommendations for essential apps and games?

I will melt your icy heart one of these days Vince. Maybe the Move exclusive Uncharted On A Boat will be enough of a change to get your motor running.

There is a pretty cool post hardcore band too on Unearthed with female vocals. Can't recall their name but I think they won a spot at Soundwave.

Drop7

That is all

I'll agree with that. Still a very enjoyable trilogy though !

You just pimped a Zynga game.

I will be taking your gamers card.

 

[Shaneus]

Pfft. It's all about Dungeon Raid.

 

[markot]

Pfft. It's all about Dungeon Raid.

That is awesome.

Although it seems hard to unlock new classes and crapnots >.>...

Also, what sucks is that I want to get my new computer parts tomoz, and MSY.com is down pretty much and has been most of the day cause they are dumbos who spent $5 on the website >.<!

I freaking hate how msy is pretty much the only choice in canberra if you dont want to order online from melbourne or sydney >.>; (reasonable prices wise)

 

[ClivePwned]

Oh lord, danger 5 is good!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Oh lord, danger 5 is good!

Second episode is a thousand times better than the first.

Nazi Dinosaurs do have that effect on anything though.

 

[guidop]

Anyone that likes Adventure Time needs to check out Regular Show.


yes, thank me later

 

[Jintor]

Well, you've got a few weeks to change. What course are you doing? You must be pretty close to graduation.

Pfft, law

still got it better than the doctors

 

[markot]

Plus you get to sue doctors over malpractice!

Saving it for tomorrow! Great to hear Nazi Dinosaurs do not disappoint! (how could they?)

At least you will be rolling in money, while my 5 years of Arts + Honors will yield only moderate cashflow (hopefully ).

Have faith.

I still do, barely. It's more ragged superstition at this point.

 

[Deeku]

The worst thing about first year courses is when the lecturer tells everyone to introduce themselves to the people sitting next to them.

Arts + honours takes 5 years?

 

[Deleted member 30609]

So last night I watched Pan's Labyrinth and tonight I watched Full Metal Jacket.

So much good.

Ugh yes, I'm doing a first course this year too. The good part about doing one though is that you can pretty easily ace everything.

 

[Kritz]

Full Metal Jacket.

So much good.

Well, half good.

what in the mouth-breathing fuck is going on in those mainland universities of yours?!

 

[Shaneus]

Once you get the hang of it, it's a bit of a grind but addictive as hell. Powering up each character with unlocked skills is pretty good. I'm up to level 10 with... five characters now?

 

[shanshan310]

Easy 7's, awww yeah.

Have faith.

I still do, barely. It's more ragged superstition at this point.

Haha. Well, I can deal with mediocre money as long as I'm doing something I like. Just need to figure out what that is.

I can tell you its not translating. Translating will steal your soul, and your back posture -_-

We did that in second year Korean. 15 or so students who already new each other. It is more awkward when you don't know the people though.

It does if you add Korean (three majors). Its not a race, I guess. Just when I'm studying I feel stuck in time. When will I ever get out of my room and start living~?

 

[Salazar]

Wallander is remarkably good. Gruelling, though.

Branagh's voice is the most divine thing.

 

[hamchan]

Now that I'm back in Uni I have noticed how many cute girls are in this place. Now I just need to have the balls to talk to them when the opportunity arises >.<

 

[The Storyteller]

what in the mouth-breathing fuck is going on in those mainland universities of yours?!

I'm in my 3rd year! 1st year courses are so easy by this point.

Well, half good.

Pan's Labyrinth better be the good half. Full metal Jacket is fine, but not one of Kubrick's best.

 

[Kritz]

Full metal Jacket is fine, but not one of Kubrick's best.

I'm siiinging in the rain~

I know it's the same as translating, but ever thought of game localisation? From what I gather it's a bit more creative than just straight translation.

3 majors, 2 of them being languages:O

 

[shanshan310]

That would be a lot of fun (sssoooooo much more than finance) Seems like a niche industry to get into.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Archer > Whatever that is

 

[Yoshiya]

So last night I watched Pan's Labyrinth and tonight I watched Full Metal Jacket.

So much good.

Pan's Labyrinth is truly a perfect film.

 

[Jintor]

Haha, another one joins the fold!

...fuck.

how do you ask a girl to go out with you. I did this already and then I forgot how to do it.

Goddamnit

what in the mouth-breathing fuck is going on in those mainland universities of yours?!

Actually doing JPS101 mainly out of interest because 7 or so years of on-off self-directed Japanese learning hasn't achieved SQUAT in terms of real understanding of the language

 

[Deeku]

Hey, don't knock finance. It's rad!

It probably is a niche industry, but it could be something to look into. Or not lol.

I think the best way to find something to do with your language degree/s is to just ship yourself to the country and poke around for something. I mean, getting scouted for a variety show sounds pretty good I reckon!

Spoiler

yes,I lurk in the japanese thread heh

I'm about to get algebraic on your butt, man.

We should get lunch or something sometime

 

[shanshan310]

I just discovered SBS popasia. If only it was a real radio station...

Haha, another one joins the fold!

Goddamnit

At least there many girls at uni so you have almost infinite chances to get it right.

I can't do self directed learning either. I am far too lazy for that...

 

[Deeku]

It's called popasia but 90% of it is korean:/

They have like a music show on tv every sunday morning lol.

 

[shanshan310]

I've heard one japanese song so far, but that was by a Korean band so I don't think it counts.

SBS doesn't work on my tv. No signal for some reason I used to watch the Japanese news when it was on though.

Yeah ^^ I'm not sure if I wanna live there or not yet, but there are definitely a lot of options.

 

[Salazar]

oh no. The horror.

 

[shanshan310]

oh no. The horror.

Korean music does tend to be better than the majority of J-pop out there, which exceptions of course.

Fuck off, it's a good game.

Also the game was made by Area/Code Entertainment, who were then bought by Zynga.

[Axiom]

Drop7 didn't start as a Zynga game, but that they bought it doesn't make it any less my favourite puzzle game of that type since Tetris.


I downloaded the demo of Motorstorm RC, the controls (both types) infuriate me and I cannot get used to it.

 

[Danoss]

I bought Drop7 when it came out ages ago, I guess no advances in iOS gaming have been made since then, besides a mention of Dungeon Raid.

I guess I'll do my reading and try to get recommendations elsewhere.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Never asked a girl out in my life. Just hang out with them until you are suddenly dating. Distinction is stupid anyway.

I made it. You have the option of 1) having it tweet your posts and include your Twitter handle or 2) having have it tweet your posts but not include your Twitter handle or 3) not having it tweet your posts at all. The default is the first but I'm happy to change it for anyone who asks (either in the thread or via PM).

The point of including the Twitter handle (only for those who I know which links up to the GAF handle) was to try and bring GAF members on Twitter a bit closer for community etc etc. It's also a nice shortcut to your posts should you want to find one later. I can understand why some wouldn't want it though so have no problems changing it. Turnaround time can't be guaranteed but it shouldn't take long if I'm not already busy doing something else.

Also! If anyone wants to be added to the Twitter list @AusGAF/members (https://twitter.com/ausgaf/members), let me know. This is the easiest way to see what AusGAFers are up to on the Twitters -- you just subscribe to the list and you're following everyone!
