Edit: double post. Today is going to be a long day.
Of course the 7th for anywhere that is closed on the 6th. They aren't going to allow them to put out a game out a day early in a single state of Australia. Besides, wouldn't most game stores be open on the 6th anyway?
First the Vita deal, now this. Are there two reptiles? I'm starting to get concerned about the consistency of our timeline.

I asked the guy who runs the Xbox Australia Twitter account, he said it was a worldwide release of the 6th and when I asked him about the 7th he didn't respond. I don't think they've thought it through very well.
Also, technically, isn't Cup Day only a public holiday in Melbourne itself? Rural Victoria still works that day, right?

Midnight launch will negate the public holiday. It isn't uncommon for places to open on Cup day.
Also we took the local race day as our public holiday first week of May. We took Melbourne Cup last year and hopefully head office forgets again so we can take two days off for stupid racing!
They'd definitely be open on a day like that in Sydney. The only public holidays retailers tend to observe here are Christmas and Good Friday. Some places might observe half-days on other public holidays sometimes too. I'd be quite shocked if Melbourne would be different for Cup Day (which works perfectly for a half day too).

Cookie, do you like girls with nose rings and lip piercings reading clash of kings? Because is one sitting across from me. From the look of a 'tattoo parlour' brochure, shh e might be bragging into the city to get a tattoo.
On other news, sky is cloudy in Melbourne. Anyone been to Mrs Parmas? I'm going tonight. If so, is it good. I've heard it was expensive

Yes. I'm down with that look. Probably too young though, like most of the hot / cute girls on public transport. All the older ones are taken or just look grumpy as fuck.

Human Head must have signed a shitty deal with Bethesda for Prey 2 if they haven't touched any work on it since November. Will turn into another Rogue Warrior piece of shit unless Bethesda can pass it along to a half way decent developer this time. Hope that the new Human Head title can keep them afloat because their Prey 2 looked amazeballs, exactly the kind of game I want to see more of.
I get the feeling zenimax got scared of an open world title that could have been trying a little too much on top of having the title "prey 2". So they are going to wait and see if dishonored actually sells well since it's another open world do as you want title. If it succeeds expectations then I honestly expect prey 2 to be renamed to something more fitting and development continued with a release date in 2013.

I'm quite passionate about a few things, and tea is one of them, as strange as that may be.
A shame I couldn't get more people interested in one of my other passions, RPGs. If anyone else wants in please let me know, as it stands only 2 people mentioned an interest and 2 more are needed to start a game.

Aw man. It looked so damn good. Bethesda are rapidly turning into a major bunch of cocks. Actually thinking about it they might have been that for a while.
That time I said that Apple must be smarter than we think to not settle with the ACCC, they must be planning to make a good point? Turns out I was pretty wrong about that: http://www.zdnet.com.au/apple-seeks-to-redefine-3g-as-4g-339336283.htm
There is sort of a minor technical argument to be made that Telstra's current 4G implementation is not fast enough to be 4G. I don't really understand it, but you can read about it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4G#3GPP_Long_Term_Evolution_.28LTE.29 .
Apple seem to have gone right off the deep end and are claiming that Telstra's 3G implementation is actually 4G.
There is such a thing as having too much money.

I'm inclined to ask for them, but maybe they'd be better off in the hands of someone with less flaky friends than mine.
The standard for real 4G I believe is 1Gb, which I think LTE+ (might have the tech name wrong) is supposed to support. It reminds of the definition of broadband amongst ISP's.
edit: this explains it better http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LTE_Advanced
Oh wow, They actually won. Badass. Now give me more quota.

You can have them if Danoss doesn't want them. Just DM me a name and a mobile number because apparently they need to be attached to the tickets.
Yeah, and the point is that most people don't think that through. The general idea that everything is always getting better and better and that humanity is awesome is what a lot of people are brought up with. If science then tells people that they have to rein it in a bit, they're understandably in disbelief, because it's completely counter to their worldview.
Also the last two paragraphs were great:
Madman Latham said:
My PS3 is busted, won't read discs properly (just spins up and stops continually, eventually reads the disc after multiple ejects). It's well out of warranty (2.5 years old) and this seems to have happened in transit. It was working perfectly before I moved and on the receiving end here, it's now borked.

I was under the impression that the one Telstra is using is the one that can support up to 100Mb, not 1Gb. There were a few "Eh, this isn't real 4G" articles around when Telstra first announced it. Which obviously makes Apples claims even less defensible.

Is there a definition in Australia of what "4G" actually is? As with "broadband" being 256Kbps and above, and "high definition" being 576p and above, "4G" could be just about anything.
Seriously, this. Even with nostalgia goggles off, it's a thoroughly entertaining movie. And other than the animatronics, hasn't dated at all. Even in that regard it's still not too bad.
If I'm banned, you'll know why.
Yep, I think the one Telstra is using is classified as 3.9G, or maybe 3.5. Either way it's not true 4G. Apples claim is laughable.
T2 is a shitty version of the Tea Centre.
The technical definition is an international one provided by these guys: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITU-R . The definition that is likely to be more relevant in court is what "a reasonable person" might consider 4G and what they might assume is meant by a device being labelled as 4G. It's safe to assume that "exactly the same as 3G" is not something a reasonable person might think.

Never been a fan of Zenimax, they cheap out on QA and set fucked up requirements for bonuses that developers need to make the project worthwhile. The case of New Vegas where they pushed it out before it was ready is just the icing on the shitcake for me in regards to them. All their games for me are Day 365, GOTY edition for $40. Although Oblivion was a snore fest so not sure if I will even give Skyrim a shot if I can't find some compelling mods to install with it. Also that Scrolls stuff was nonsense.
AWESOME VICTORY! They will be going after UseNet next anyway. Why not throw money down the toilet trying to stop piracy! I am sure people will stop coming up with new ways to pirate!
Even a broken watch can stop shoveling horseshit into its mouth long enough to wheeze out a moment of clarity every now and then before going back to drizzling themselves in feaces.
You missed the awesome Zavvi deal, LOGS has it for $47
