I would only be confident about arguing, say, 2-3 years max at present. I don't really know about at the beginning of this console generation though, since the conditions would have been different. Maybe a little longer for the PS3 given that it cost a thousand bucks (second job lolololol) but difficult to be certain without further information. Practically speaking courts would be conservative on the issue of reasonable expectations since any court declaration would set precedent and all...

After (slopishly) playing around with databases tonight I wish I could go back to 18 year old reptilescorpio and punch that pussy motherfucker right in the face and tell him to stop being such a pansy and just enrol in that IT degree rather than take Accounting because you don't want people to make fun of you.

I don't think much has changed since 18 really, though it was only two years ago. I still have no idea what I want to do with myself =/ I don't think "I want to speak three languages!" is much of a career goal. I guess I've still got at least 2 or 3 years to think about it.
Good luck. This coming week seems like its going to be hectic for everyone.

I didnt find a job I liked for 6 years after uni.
My 18 year old self would be amused that I am a pinko lefty, and would probably try to shoot me
I nearly joined the liberal party thing on campus at utas on my first society day. It was a 5 minute dalliance with evil, probably a reactionary consideration based on seeing a socialist alliance stand nearby.
I guess I kinda regret not studying harder during high school and during first few years of uni.
Luckily things have turned out alright, except most of my peers are like a couple years ahead of me career-wise and/or have have an extra degree. But oh well, I can live with that.

A turtle or a tortoise?
How about trying to call a reptile park? There is one in Alice Springs, which wont help you much, but they may have contacts in vic they could advise on.

Locked in for the BrisGAF meetup on the 2nd.
Also on a Game Design note, I've started up a Tumblr blog as a place that I can talk yang about game design and some of the stuff I've learned over the past two years, plus it's a place where my Sega Hardon can get some relief.
On that, I wrote this one up yesterday: Design Prattle: Whoever Designed Alex Kidd in Miracle World Hates You And Everyone You Love

This is one of my favourite games of all time. After playing it so much i reached the point where i could easily win it every time without losing a life or using any items (including swimming through the ridiculous spikes in the last castle). I've even done speed runs of the game not far off the WR.
I still enjoyed the write up and despite loving the game i do recognise its flaws. I look forward to reading more of these.

Why not a rat? They live in a tank/cage usually but can come out and are willing to play. They're pretty cute!cheers guys. yeah i've just been thinking about what pet toget, as i really need a pet
If they're anything like mice, males would smell more but be more active, and females smell much less but are less active.

It'd be so cool to have a pet lizard. I know my brother was really keen on getting a salamander, but they're illegal here in qld
rats can be kinda smelly, but otherwise this is a top idea!
Other suggestions: rabbit, ferret.

Cars 2 is sitting on 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, so I doubt it.
I forgot that movie existed.

Man I miss good Sega. Distinct from the current Sega that seems to pump out turd after turd.
I still kind of wish Microsoft bought Sega to make the Xbox. Obviously they would have ripped their heart out but in my fantasy world I have an awesome Sega IPs and Halo etc all together one console with world peace only moments away.
It looks really boring. Like every other medieval children's movie. Oh look she shoots and arrow through another arrow! That was original in the 70s Disney Robin Hood.

Wild rats are definitely high on the creepometer. Domesticated ones are less so, at least in my opinion:rats / mice creep me out. I wouldn't be able to love it
Played The Witcher for a few hours yesterday after finishing the main game of Stacking. The previous week I managed 30 minutes of gaming according to Raptr, so this was a nice change.
Saw that this morning. Not a good sign. I always enjoyed reading the massive broadsheets on the rare occasion I bought a paper.
Lion Nathan has (or will shortly) acquired 100% of Little Creatures (and White Rabbit). Don't think this is a good thing (except for the shareholders which look to make out quite well).

The Age and SMH ditching broadsheets, cutting 1900 jobs, erecting pay walls. Wooo print media!

Member
Yeah my journalist friend sent me a text with just "
"Should be interesting to see how far the industry goes with job cuts.
1900 job cuts? Sad.
I guess we'll get more top stories on SMH about stuff that happened on twitter and facebook instead of real news.

I agree broadsheets are just painful.
Within the next few years everywhere will go behind a paywall. Websites are destroying circulation which means print ads are worth less and online ads are already worth fuck all.
The websites should never have been free in the first place. People are used to getting this for free now and the companies are going to take a massive hit until people get used to having to pay for news again.
The way the NY Times does it is good. You can read all you want but after you've gone to a certain number of pages a day you have to pay. So you still get the homepage and breaking news, but for other stuff (like columnists) you get pulled in by the quality of stuff they have and then actually want to pay to see more. I think it works pretty well.

Am I the only one who gets the paper delivered? I find it easier/ more interesting to read that way. (Rather than online).

What devs? I never know how to go about finding indie-centric games (aside from tigsource and ludum dare stuff).

Main issue was lashing out at GAF et al just because he felt slighted by another journalist posting a tweet (not even directed at McElroy!) on their own account. The ACTUAL journalist who posted the rumor even came into the GAF thread and explained why the news story was posted and made complete sense and everyone simmered down until the idiot McElroy kept lashing out. Even Klepek acknowledged the reasoning for posting the rumor in the GAF thread. At that point it just became embarrassing for The Verge and the fact that would employ someone who acts so unprofessionally.
I would have been shocked if I didn't already know about his Nier review which basically wiped out any reason to take him seriously as a 'journalist'. He is a gamer. A fan of games. To call him a journalist would be insulting to others in the profession who take their job seriously and try to do the right thing.
