AusGAF 5/5 - Everything's Amazing and Nobody's Happy, a rental at best

VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
The art of the parody review is to get people angered, even though it may or may not be your opinion. The more people who get angry at your review the more people that watch to see who they offend next.

Like Yahtzee.

I just spent $100 on not brilliant comics and a moleskin sketchbook

I could have spent $100 on brilliant comics and a moleskin sketchbook but I can probably find those comics online for cheaper.

I also bought Skyward Sword.

Just read the latest blurb for the new Korn album. I had a nice laugh.
2011 release, the 10th album from the Alt-Metal band. Infusing Dubstep anarchy into their signature sound, the legendary quartet stand on the cusp of a musical revolution for both Hard Rock and Electronica. Collaborating with Dubstep heavyweights Skrillex, Excision, Downlink, Noisia, Feed Me, 12th Planet, and Flinch, Korn have constructed a hypnotic hybrid of Dubstep and Metal. Bouncing from polyrhythmic guitar pummeling into drastic electro drops, the music is dark, dangerous, and definitive Korn. The band are no strangers to revolution though. In fact, they’ve been purveyors of heavy music’s progression since forming in Bakersfield, CA in 1994 and becoming one of the most influential entities that the genre has ever seen.

Chief executive Gerry Harvey warned the upcoming festive season would be "okay'' but it would not be the best Christmas ever.

"This year I can't say that,'' he said.

"There's no sign out there in the community that we're going to have this wonderful Christmas. I don't see it.''

Translation:

Chief executive Gerry Harvey warned the upcoming festive season would be "profitable'' but it would not be the most profitable Christmas ever.

"This year I can't say that,'' he said.

"There's no sign out there in the community that we're going to make an obscene profit this Christmas. I don't see it.''

So why is Gerry Harvey such a dickhead, and why does his constant grumbling keep qualifying as news?

Only time I ever buy a paper is to rip out the Wines Direct coupon on Wednesdays and the odd entertaining watch of The Project as it is pretty inoffensive with their opinion based discussions rather than stating "facts". I really should watch ABC24 more often but the little guy is much more pleasant when ABC2 is on. Plus he talks over the news anyway so I can't take much in.

But, mainly, I luuuuuuuuuuurve the fact that, despite the fact that it is now embarrassingly easy to multiquote, choc refuses to do so.

I admire your conviction, sir.

No, seriously, I love it.


Also, 2011 has been quite a big year for games; lot's of trilogies wrapping up, lots of high profile games finally hitting the market. My question is, is anything coming out next year? Towards the end of last year we were already in the shadow of the rapidly approaching juggernaut of 2011 but we're at the end of it, and I have no idea what's coming out next year. Is there anything?

Tonight we saw without doubt teh most biased reporting against the Government on every television channel so far.

Yes, the baby bonus is shedding $400 but guess what, teh paid parental leave (which most people except those who are still in school) will get is staying the same

how many mentions did that rate? zero

Oh no its all about working families being worse off. Ok FACTS CHANNEL 7 9 and ABC

its like this

the baby bonus is now $5000

the EIGHTEEN WEEK PAID PARENTAL LEAVE SYSTEM (which WORKING FAMILIES GET) is equivilent of $573 for 18 weeks

geez, i dunno approximately 9k sounds a whole lot better than 5 and thats what they get for PPL.


I am OVER HOW FUCKING BAD OUR JOURNALISTS ARE IN AUSTRALIA


its HORRENDOUS how bad they are. Using twitter etc without checking sources, and not even looking up a piece of simple government legislation

the whole lot needs to go, they are useless mouthpieces for the management of teh stations. No integrity, none. Fuck them.

I think 2011 has been pretty lacklustre actually. Next year we have
GTAV
Max Payne 3
Prey 2
Diablo 3
Mass Effect 3
Syndicate
BioShock: Infinite
Spec Ops: The Line
The Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning
Starcraft 2: Whatever the next bit's called
Tomb Raider reboot
I Am Alive
Assassin's Creed 3
the inevitable COD game

After a quick look on Wikipedia, you could also add:
Hitman: Absolution
Halo 4
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Darksiders 2
Far Cry 3
Gotham City Impostors
Kid Icarus: Uprising
The Last Guardian
Metro: Last Light
Ninja Gaiden 3
STALKER 2
SSX
XCOM

Not a lot of new IP there, though.

Hell yeah Prey 2 will be awesome.

Also I wish I had gotten paid parental leave, would have been awesome!
In any case the baby bonus is paid out over 6 months in fortnightly payments so you won't even notice the difference.

You forgot Torchlight 2 cod!

Found a copy of Repoman and enjoying the cheesy 80's vibe

There's maybe five games I'm interested in there and none of them are immediate pick ups. At the moment 2012 is looking like this for me:

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Luigi's Mansion 2
Animal Crossing
Paper Mario
Rhythm Thief
Theatrythm: Final Fantasy
Kingdom Hearts 3D

Assuming they all actually drop next year.

You expect someone who hardly uses capitals (except when using ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME) or punctuation, consistently and intentionally misspells words, and copy-pastes an article with no link to the source, to multi-quote? You jest good sir, very funny.



Also, everyone is forgetting the 2012 GOTY on there lists: Crusader Kings II

*cue the 'WTF is Crusader Kings?' posts*

Here's hoping it's not a traditional Paradox game in the sense that it isn't a buggy mess on day 1.
