Can the WiiU run it?
It's nice to want things, but the next government is going to be Liberal. It would be nice if the leader was a bit more socially progressive like Turnbull, even though I doubt he would always get his way.
Yet another first party box!
But he wants to kill the NBN =[
Indeed. Allows me to buy the thing a few years out when it's cheaper since I know it'll just be 1st party stuff I'm willing to wait for. Also if the minimum graphical level next gen is on the level of the Wii U Zelda tech demo then I'm happy.
That's the job Abbott has given him, but he has pretty much conceded it would be impossible to kill it completely.
Dudebros.
*shakes fist*
UE4 isn't even finished, no games right now are being made on it except for maybe inside Epic.
So say people start making games on it in the middle of NEXT year. That's still 2 years until we see a game and half the life of the Wii U.
It means nothing.

It means plenty for Microsoft who will essentially have a bunch of exclusives at or near launch of the "720". It probably won't result in the Wii U getting any less third party support than the Wii got if that's what you mean.

Because gamers want more than 3 games on a $400 console? Where ports could actually look great and have a unique experience (hopefully a good one) with the tablet?
Sounds like a great idea to me.
Shame it won't run it.
Of course they'll release a Zelda game on it and it will be similar to all their past Zelda games!
If Nintendo wants my money they need to release a new F-Zero, preferably developed in collaboration with Sega and Nagoshi again.

It's funny, half of the topics on the front page of gaming nowadays don't interest me, yet I'm more excited about video games now than I ever have been. Big budget console game development has become (largely, not entirely) so boring; Nintendo have become so predictable. Thankfully, there's so much going on in the lower-budget arena at the moment. It's fantastic.
he actually doesn't. Tony does and he has to go with Tony. But MT is a big fan of the NBN secretly.

Tony Abbott appears to think this whole Internet thing is a fad that will blow over soon. See also: feminism.
I think that's going too far. Even if he's a bit progressive socially, he's still economically a Liberal, meaning he would generally oppose any sort of big government project like this and prefer to let the market sort it out.
Totally. Also going to read Cloud Atlas based on your gushing.

Zelda games are more different to one another than current gen FPSs from different series are. I never understood the charges of homogeneity aimed at this series.
Like how the market provided us all with roads and drinking water, amirite?
I'd been trying to figure out where exactly I stand politically for a long time, when I read a post on reddit that resonated with me a fair bit. It said something like, the market is brilliant at providing optional things, but terrible at providing things that everybody needs. There is no point in having competition when doubling up on whatever it is, like roads or water pipes (natural monopolies?), actually makes things worse. In those cases, aiming for profit growth when there is limited physical space for your stuff, just makes things more expensive and access harder to get. In the case of consumable stuff or lifestyle stuff, the market is far far more efficient at providing that stuff.
It sounds like common sense, at least to me, but it seems like most people who want to talk about political theory are either "why should I pay for this guys water?" or "the workers will rise up to seize the means of production" with not all that much in the middle. Maybe it's just the extremes that stick out.
That's a bit of a rambley outpouring, but oh well.
I have thought for a long time that all infrastructure and public works should be government run (or at least controlled and tendered to private companies), and the market should take care of everything else.

I just like video games. Of the three home consoles currently available, the Wii had the most video games I liked. If the follow-up is "another Wii", that's perfectly fine by me.
Then again, I have more DS games than I do PS3+360 combined so my eyes are more on 3DS/Vita anyway.

Ah ok. Well I've got an assessment due on the 8th and then after that I've got a couple of essays due and exams after that. Would be looking at the 23rd onwards really since my last exam is on the 22nd.
It just seems like a pop song to me. Not sure why people really dislike it. When covers of it were being linked on reddit a decent folkish one was linked that got me onto a new artist, so thought I'd link it as well in case it's up anyone else's alley. It's by a guy called Ben Howard.
Wii came out at the end of 2006 (say 2007). It's 2012. 5 years.
Wii U isn't going to get the big exclusives or the big big AAA(A) games outside of launch period. Unless a MILLION things line up, MS go full on Kinect mode and Sony continue to fuck up it's going to much of the same.

I don't see Sony coming back from the funk they're in now for another decade at least. I knew as soon as they unveiled the PSV that they hadn't learnt one damn thing from this gen.
Between that and Nintendo being unable to break its old habits vis a vis third parties, next gen is Microsoft's to lose.

I think so too. I just figured there'd be people wanting more. Not performance wise, but support wise. Once I got over my initial disappointment relative to expectations, I was pretty happy with the Wii too. If the Wii U has as much quality over it's lifetime it will be a good system. Having it as a primary system won't be worth the heartache though.
Yar. Except for quick pick up and play stuff. Like FIFA Street.
And Lambchop should be what you are listening to.

Salazar was the guy who bought that one copy of FIFA Street? Nice!
PC main, 360 for cheevos since I have been doing it since 2005. If the 720 carries over my gamerscore they have a customer in me. Otherwise cutting edge PC stuff for me!
I would be surprised if Epic don't support it eventually.

AusGAF has transcended rampant fanboyism in favour of playing whatever games on whatever systems they like.
Personally, I'll probably buy the Wii U in the second half or last third of its life, after the inevitable price cut. That is, if it turns out to be another Wii. There's been good games on the system, but far too spread out for my liking. Buying at launch hasn't paid off for me.

My brother has kidnapped the Xbox because he 'needs it in his room to edit cod montages' so I have been forced into pc gaming. I enjoy it more anyway. No lol on Xbox 
just sucks that there are a bunch of games I own on it but have never finished.
Hey! If you aren't coming to uni I can't run into you on the bus!
Oh, I started usagi drop. First impressions: love the artstyle, already emotionally tied to the characters, tearjerking, nice to not have a character with breasts bigger than her head. Only con: opening theme music was kinda forgettable.

Nah it was interesting. I feel pretty much the same way, but I still have no idea who that means I should vote for.
I did mention before that I don't think many in this thread stick to one console, yeah.Omi said:
Another half baked theory I have is that alternating ideologies in government isn't a bad thing. If Labor stay in for too long you get shit like NSW got, and if the Libs stay in too long you get workchoices and children overboard. I don't think one lot of guys being in power for too long is ever good, which is another in the long list of reasons why partisanship is bad.

"I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate."
"Go ahead, throw your vote away!"
If only people would vote outside of the major parties more instead of viewing it as "well it's a two-party system, vote for the one you consider the lesser evil".

Well, I have no electricity at home for most of tomorrow. And maybe Thursday too. I really should go up.
But bleh, basically. Uni work is fine, am just trapped in tunnel of emotional dooooom otherwise.
Yar. Is heartwarming stuff.

Sure, but unless you're voting for the big two or the Greens your vote is likely to just funnel back to Labor or Liberals through preferences anyway so while it's not a two party system in theory, it largely is in practice.
You're never "throwing away your vote" by voting for a minor party or independent. That's a huge difference. Parties get money based on the number of 1 votes, so long as it's above a certain percentage. While your first preference might never get in, you're helping to strengthen them as an option. Voting 1 for a major when there's a minor you agree with more is actually "throwing away your vote" under our system, as it should be.

Yeah i like our system here. Just wish the major parties were more positive rather than bitching about each other all the time. I just vote for the one who will do the least damage in my mind.

Oh, I know, I vote for minor parties all the time (actually, it's all I've done in the few times I've gone to elections since turning 18). I was saying I want people to get out of that mindset.
Maybe I just know an inordinate number of people ignorant to how our system works and it's better elsewhere, but I know plenty of people who look at it that way.
