Alright AusGAF, I'm off to see Prometheus in half an hour. I shall be back to post spoilers impressions later tonight.

Of course, for those who don't want to know, I am only going to use a three point scale to avoid upsetting anyone:

1. Genre defining
2. As good/competent as expected
3. Disappointing

I promise no details beyond that until everyone has seen it.

Wish me luck. It can't be as bad as last nights E3 conference ...

Nope. But xbl is generally pretty slow for me, no idea why though.

My weekend currently consists of seeing Prometheus on repeat. Pausing only to see Wales destroy the Wallabies. Then back to Prometheus. Unless its a big old bowl of shit.

On a road trip from Paris to the Pyrenees. Got the radio on. Unsure if reception is intermittently dropping out or just dubstep.

Why the fuck isn't this kind of thing in full production.
Why the fuck don't we have a bunch of great Final Fantasy titles this generation?

The gradual change to ipv6 kicked off today so maybe that's why your internet's a bit slow.


Watched some of the Queen's Diamond Jubilee tonight.
It's pretty sweet having a monarch.

Dan let me know if you dont get the origin ticket and i will buy you one.

You've been through enough shit to deserve a night out

edit: Jintor, youtube is smashed because ign and gamespot are using it as their personal dumping ground for massive e3 videos, and both sites are experiencing fucking ridiculous traffic.

Huh. That actually happened. Thought FaceBook would be against that kind of 'partnership'. Might help the share price though, history favours the people who side with the porn.
I love the internet, you so crazy media people! Must read more Onion

Make a Kickstarter! What's the tier for "will take a photo at the game while making a funny hand gesture"?

Fucking TouchPad refuses to charge using its original fucking charger and all I want to do is read a fucking eBook. Fuck the fucking fucked up future. Fuck.

Buy a fucking Kindle!

You can get the old style keyboard one for like $90 at Safeway brand new. Love it.

Also is the little charger plug locked in properly? Had issues with it at one point too and just had to fiddle with it a bit. Although now the little guy has run off with it somewhere so no Touchpad charging for us at the moment!

I already have an e-reader, the TouchPad. :(

Tried the original charger (with multiple cables), an iPad charger (with multiple cables), a cheap POS charger (with multiple cables) and am now going to leave it plugged into the PC overnight, fingers crossed it'll boot in the morning. Original cable is loose as hell when plugged in.

Yeah basically the only thing that charges it properly is the original charger which sucks. Sounds like the plug has moved off inside the Touchpad so it isn't connecting properly.

Buy a Kindle anyway! eInk is so damn easy on the eyes.

A PROSTITUTE reportedly offered a large sum of money by the Nine Network now says she cannot say for certain she slept with federal MP Craig Thomson.

The woman has told the Seven Network the executive producer of A Current Affair, Grant Williams, had contacted her in May offering to pay her $60,000 to fly to Sydney.

But she declined to accept the money, claiming she was in New Zealand in May 2005, when she supposedly had Mr Thomson as a client.

Appearing on Today Tonight in an unpaid interview, the woman apologised to Mr Thomson.

"It was just a terrible case of mistaken identity," she said.

Can those Safeway ones play games at all? Or read PDFs? Or web browse or have SD cards or anything?

Waaahhhh, too lazy to look for myself. Do my bidding for me.

Edit: That lying prostitute... if she's unsure now, then how could she have been sure before? Sureness surely doesn't waver, especially when your only real excuse is "I've had a think, and it WAS a long time ago...". Stupid cow.

And you know what's awesome? The Courier-Mail's website icon looks a little like a thumbs-up gesture.

So, Prometheus.

I think its a 2 on my scale earlier. Still trying to make sense of some plot points. Not quite a 1 but not a 3.

Visuals were fucking incredible though.

I can't get over how well Max Payne 3 performs on my PC. They really optimized the hell out of this one. Unbelievable, given how clumsy GTA4 was.

Very jelly. From all accounts it should be a great show, would be nice if they did an Australian leg. Though the people attending wouDl probably put me off going.

Japanese speaking test on at the same time as the 3DS conference. Good thing I have zero expectations for the conference.

So basically Channel 9 were going to pay her to lie. Nice work fuckers. A lot of down and out people who had degraded themselves will lie through their teeth for $60k.

The ACA/TT stuff is fucking shameful beyond belief. Sad that it is kinda expected of them.

Also, teachers striking today around Victoria. I am pro them being paid more and not being subjected to 'pay for performance' schemes. Which from my understanding of teaching, don't work.
