I bought it because it its actually better than old Driver than it is fucking awesome. I loved Driver 2.
SydGAF Board Gamers, for whenever we do our next day (which is currently looking to be early July perhaps), I thought I'd let you know I ordered some new games this morning. I just hope they arrive before I go to Brissy so I can take the rules up with me to learn while I'm there...
The first:
Uncharted is VERY new (seems to have come out this month, or something), but a few early impressions seem to highly recommend it. It's apparently very quick to play and the mechanics seem to fit our game style quite well.
The second:
This one would be much more in-depth that any of the other games we've played, but it seems awesome. It has a very good reputation and I'm really itching to try it out. Also, given the popularity of the license, perhaps it might convince some other guys to come join us (trust us, we don't bite)...

clipper should totally bring them to Brisbane with him *sly wink*
So would this convince anyone to actually show up for a game? Nobody who's interested seems to be available, unfortunately.

If we can do board games after the 2nd of July, I'm on boardget it... "board"..
Well, I leave on the evening of the 5th, so it would need to be a weekday. Uncharted would definitely work for an evening gathering, but perhaps not GoT unless we start quite early (it says it takes 3 hours to play)
I possess capable j-skillz!

OK, just checked, for board games I can do any time on the 2nd, any time we aren't at the dinner/drinks BrisGAF on the 3rd, late afternoon/evening of the 4th or daytime on the 5th. Is anyone else interested apart from shanshan and Marsh and what times are people available if willing and able?

Interesting! I bought my step dad the game of thrones one for his birthday! good to hear it has a good reputation!
Haha, holy shit. She should name names, or kicked his arse by showing him through the demo.
Being patronised over anything is infuriating.
Mostly because almost every commenter seems to want to make it her fault "why did you not speak out?" when she clearly indicated that she did speak out, at least once. And she shouldn't have to.
OK, "mostly" is the wrong word. What happened to her is still wrong wrongedy wrong. The response is wrong too.
Ever have one of those days when you just can't seem to connect the brain to become the correct words on screen?
If you sympathise with this, keep it in mind when you're rolling your eyes at high profile females in the gaming industry, like when people bitch about Felicia Day or the Aisha Taylor rant. You don't know the shit they put up with every day.

Fuck those people, name and shame them.
The self fullfilling prophecy is right, we want proper coverage, not hands off PR bullshit. If we want better journalism we have to call out the publishers on this bullshit.
Depends on personality. Some of the pr reps may have been assertive types, and it doesn't matter who you are, such people are difficult to make them stfu.
ie there may not have been much she could have done.
Remember Jade Raymond? Holy shit did she cop it.
I didn't mean to direct it at you, I just remember some comments in here by I don't remember who, who couldn't understand what Aisha was upset about, or why FD would always make a big deal about being a gamer and was she just attention seeking etc.

On that note I wonder what she is up to these days, she was involved a bit with I Am Alive I think. Too bad both her and Patrice aren't on AssCree any more.
windows 8 is the most fucking biggest piece of shit ever, ive just tried it for 30 mins and fuck me microsoft has destroyed windows
apple will be laughing
how fucking hard can it be to set a fucking proxy server for a fucking corporate fucking network?!
edit: Also Katie should have walked the fuck out and then explained to the goose what happened.
That editorial should be in PCPP next month, but im guessing the publisher don't have the balls (i bet DW does)

comments on the KAU story are fucking shit
edit: lets play guess the game Katie was referencing
i guess, Metro last light
just listened to the most recent Bombcast. Jeff et al's thoughts on Tomb Raider is kinda interesting. They don't want to touch that game anymore. It does seem recently the developers have lost their fucking minds.

I'm not sure how fairfax is going to survive with their future aim of going digital only....
According to Mumbrella, only a few thousand people read Fairfax papers on the Ipad...
News limited on the other hand already has a captive audience of 1/2 million footy fans (AFL and NRL) playing fantasy football on their websites and probably have a fair bit of power to leverage this into paid subscriptions in the future.

I quoted this with the intention of saying you're wrong. But my counterpoint was with so many caveats that I might just have to accept you're right.
What I was going to say is that you want a product that is so strong and so fearless that people want to read it every day. That way advertisers will flock to it to be seen. But realistically pissing off a major advertiser will never be popular with the managerial side of an operation.
That said we've written stories about Coles and Woolies being pricks and they still advertise with us.
Well obviously it's a huge generalisation - a number of commercial places do some really quality journalism. But it's the difference between treating what you write as a drawcard for eyeballs and advertiser dollars, and treating what you write as in and of itself worth reading. The concepts often overlap but they're not exactly the same thing, and that frightens me.
She's been setting up Ubisoft Toronto and semi-involved in the newest Splinter Cell. There's a really good interview in EDGE from a few months ago and a less interesting one in on Eurogamer.

This board game is AMAZING. It is pretty complicated and takes a little while to learn, but once you get into it it's very good. You will laugh. You will screw someone over. Someone will crack the shits. Glorious.

Wow that was a really good article. One thing that bothers me in general though is the need for her (and other women who've written about gaming) to have to spell out that she is a gamer. Not only say it, but have to back it up with "evidence" too. I mean, they shouldn't have to spell it out, but on another level I guess its kind of like "yeah, okay I get it, you don't need to keep saying it". I know that a lot of women do play games so they don't need to prove anything to me. I've never felt the need to call myself a 'girl gamer', in fact the term kinda makes me roll my eyes. Its kind of horrible when there are guys who don't think women play games which makes them need to proclaim that they are gamers, which the guys then respond to by complaining about girl gamers being so vocal. I don't know what my point is =/
Personal story: I went to buy a pc, and though I don't understand computers much at all I asked the guy for something that would be suitable for gaming and he tried to sell me something with integrated graphics, telling me it would be good enough to run the sims. (The sims 3 doesn't even run on integrated graphics =/ so he was a liar as well as a asshole). I ended up buying something nice from a lady at JB HIFI instead.
wanna know why FairFax is dying?
