Yay 18+ games.
But we won't be able to play them since every games blog is telling us off for wanting to play games with throat stabbing.
Jeez, I could go a throat stab right now

Jesus gaming is getting ridiculously negative. Are there honestly people questioning if there are any great games this generation? Fucking hell.

Ohhhh.... everyone's buying Driver because it's on SALE. Gotcha.
I might re-buy just to have it on Steam (currently GOG). Guess the devs deserve the money or something.
Hm. That was easily justified.
Hey Rep, did you want it? I noticed you did, but not sure if you still do...
Copy for friend's birthday: bought. Copy for brother (for the hell of it): bought. Copy pour moi, just for Steam convenience (and deluxe-pack goodies): bought. Christ, I'm shit.

Yarp. It's pretty damn awesome.
I need to watch more Carpenter. So far I've only seen The Thing, Big Trouble and They Live.

I don't really post that much in here but I'll come to melbgaf I think. I live in melbourne and don't really have much else to do around then and it sounds like fun.
This is the vibe I got during e3 as well. negative negative, negative. perhaps new gen next year or the year after will wash away all the depressives >_>

Choc, save your thread! Its turned into something quite awful.
The place isn't to far from the southern cross station.;p considering going, but it's going be one hell of a undertaking that will require a lot of planning on my part.
plus my mum already thinks the idea of going to this is crazy.:lolHow long is the meet-up expected to last?

Oh shit. I thought we had come to a conclusion when I went to bed, everyone had stopped posting.
America must have woken up and ignored all the discussion already done in the thread.

Why not submit when appropriate and appeal in Q1 if RC when first submitted?
Probably until everyone gets burned out. I'll likely hang around until 7:30ish because I'm old but just stay as long as you want.
Is Fallout: New Vegas the best game ever? It has a 103.9/10 user rating on Metacritic.
Deus Ex - $3.99
Deus Ex: Invisible War - $4.00
Deus Ex: Human Revolution - $7.50 (looks like this is Steam compatible)
Wow. What a "debate".
Clearly there's more people needing to feel the banhammer.
Appealing costs money.

The thing is though, the people arguing against her are the same people we were arguing with last night... And they still haven't moved on from the point they were arguing then =/

It's only a couple of grand though isn't it? The dinner to schmooze the board probably costs more.
Except that they went and made two completely different ones. Why?!

What kind of monster uses ESDF?
Also this Microsoft Surface looks like it could be cool.

Well, there were a bunch of wasd pictures, for some reason.
Confession: Until recently I used wasd with my right hand, and my left crossed underneath for the mouse.

Nothing xbox yet but it looks nice. Lots of little good ideas like a fiver that has a keyboard on the inside

I will stay until the last soul draws its last breath.
Lucky I check this thread occasionally. I may be able to attend.
Yeah it is!
Made it to the final boss on easy but it steamrolled me. Unlocked a new ship though.

So gaming press seem to be making snide comments on twitter about the Microsoft surface while actual tech press seem pretty pumped. Depending on price and actual performance it could be an actual opacity competitor.
I was thinking they might make it compatible with 360 controllers letting you play XBLA games, which would have been cool, but nope. If you're reading that Microsoft I demand a cut

George Brandis said this
"Contrary to some claims, the lack of an R rating for games makes it easy for children to access adult content. Legislating to allow an R18+ category will give consumers clear information, a clearer choice and more confidence in the games they buy for themselves and for their children. On most gaming consoles it is possible to activate parental controls. These controls allow you to set limits on the amount of time and the classifications of games that can be played. Using these controls can assist in enforcing family guidelines on gaming and protect younger gamers from inappropriate material. Some gamers illegally access games that would be classified R18+. It would be better if they were legally available in Australia with the appropriate restrictions, which is what this bill achieves."
A coalition senator with a brain? wow

"Others simply cut their losses and do not introduce the game into Australia. This is bad for the Australian games market, which is growing strongly and is forecast to grow at a rate of about 10 per cent a year, with forecasts predicting that it will reach $2.5 billion annually by 2015. Those are very significant numbers that show what an important industry computer gaming is becoming in our country."
"The opposition recognises the contribution of the game development industry to the Australian economy. We also note that more than 88 per cent of Australian households own a device for playing computer games. Australia has 25 major game development studios, which export over $120 million worth of product a year."

Nice. I still play Triple Town every now and then. My son loves to watch it, the jumping ninjas make him giggle.Yay, my awesome brother-in-law just got hired by Spry Fox! I'm insanely jealous, but he's way cleverer than me so that's OK

It's more useful for my own article later...
Not sure why these speeches weren't linked from the Bill itself yesterday. I guess the transcripts mustn't have been completed yet. I wonder if they have like an army of typesetters...
I'm so close to breaking down and getting one. My poor ol' Nexus S is getting a bit battered these days and the S3 is just so big and pretty...
they must man. The amount of content produced each sitting day is ridiculous. Yesterdays senate journal is about 200 pages
also, they now have live updates on the site to lol, parliament in the 21st century
