AusGAF 6 - Ricki Lee is awful. Everything else about Australia is AMAZING [Free hugs]

I was under the impression the foreign workers thing was a state government issue. Why would Jules be consulted at all?
I didn't realise it was a government issue at all><
Today I learnt thanks to reddit:

Do not play SEA servers in Dota 2 if you're with Optus. Optus routes all its SEA traffic through US West, so it goes Australia -> US West -> SEA -> US West -> Australia for a response.

So it's actually 3 times the ping for me when I play SEA servers compared to just playing on US West.
WHAT?? WHY. Ugh, being with optus has been a huge up hill battle from the beginning. I wouldn't use them again.

Wtf........

How.

Labour is so stuffed.

Ridiculousness.

Honestly, it would look best if she scraped the deal if she could.

She should also discipline the minsters, and shuffle them out if they try anything.
 
Speaking of which, we received a letter last week telling us we would be given $51.10 to help prepare us for the carbon tax. Erm, thanks... I can't help feel like it could have been better spent. I can see people splurging the money and then still complaining already.

An FYI, it was the same for SC2 for atleast the first year. I do not know if it has been resolved.

If I wanted your opinion I would've asked for it, peasant!



BTW Everyone should get Joyride Turbo on XBLA. I think it's just a controller-based version of Kinect Joyride, but it's so awesome. Like Sega All Stars, but with your avatar and better online play. It also looks like it has 4P on the one screen. For a MKish clone, that's good!
Edit: Seriously, buy it. Or try the demo. Then you'll buy it. And check out the OT.
 
God damn, family can be fuckwits when they want to be. Last 6 months they have just given me the shits on both sides, thankfully one of my sister-in-laws has been great but the rest have been pricks. Just want this wedding to be over and done with. FUCK.

Also, Jalapeno and Mature Cheddar RRD cornchips are $2 at Coles. Go.
I walked to the supermarket to make up for me eating them tonight

Seems like any other racer I have already bought (looking at you ModNation Racers).

We really need a 2.0. It's almost been six months! MelbGAF are slackGAF confirmed.
I really do want to go get drunk soon.

lol hawthorn
lol gold coast
I was a little worried, especially when they kicked the first 3 goals of the final term!

LEAVE ME ALONE REP

Mark another game down as complete this year. Torchlight.

I had my 3rd packet last night and I didn't think they tasted as great as before. :/
Might have been the context being me actually sharing them with people instead of gorging on a whole packet by myself.

I only eat like a bowl and a bit every day or so. Gone through about 5 packets in 2 weeks. Just bought another 4 packs this arvo lol.

I finished off Gravity Daze (Rush) last night. Best game on vita! Hope it does ok when it comes out in the west, I want more!
 
Little guy wanted a corn chip. Gotta let him experiment, with a water bottle on hand lol. Enjoying an icy pole now, still ask for some more chips though.

Can you rate it as a game overall rather than just against Wipeout, Rayman and Lumines?

Regarding Gravity Daze, I would get a vita for this.

James Mielke (formerly from EGM) wrote a love letter column to it in Games TM recently. In the next week he did a similar thing for all things by Treasure (suggesting that Treasure was indie before indie was cool).

By all accounts its a special game.
 
I'm liking this cheers

No probs. It's their only album on Spotify at the moment but you should definitely track down their other stuff if you can. Their Farewell tour video has been out of print for a long time but is well worth experiencing (I believe most of it is on Youtube, or in a more complete form on the internet if you can bother sourcing it).

He needs to start putting people in chokeholds, breaking cheekbones, kneeing on their necks and eye gouging before he can be called "the new Judd".

Dangerfield is a better player and a far better person than Judd.

Gravity Daze is one of those things in which even though I can have a digital copy, I'm getting a retail one just because I want that sort of game on my shelf looking classy.


Ordering a retail copy of Doctor Who on PS3, that was just me being a Who nerd.

It really is, what did he say about it?

What I loved the most was the style and presentation of the game. It has this really cool frenchy/europeany super hero comic book style to it. The music is also great. As a game, it's a pretty standard action game, even a little on the simple side in terms of combat and mission variety. I reckon they could have done more with the gravity thing. But I still really enjoyed it, need to figure out how to get those dlc mission packs from the JP store!
