Dead Man Choc'd.

NG3 reviews seem to be a solid 7 or 8 from most places. Apparently it is a good Ninja Gaiden, more accessible for better or worse depending on if you like accessible or penus grindingly hard at times.

Nope, I can't afford that.

What does electromagnetism have to do with budgets?

Why is everyone getting jury duty but me?

WHY?!

[Jintor]

Damnit, I slept early and I still woke up at 9am instead of 7:30 like I used to before ME3 fucked up my sleep cycle

goddamnit, this is really throwing off my morning runs. Thankfully it's cloudy, but my body can't take it :<

2nd one I've got..... the other one was during exams so exempt too (had to write a letter to a judge though)j

I'm a bad citizen

I still cant fathom Palmers 'CIA wants to kill our mining industry' thing >.<; I mean... why? Is it so we cant sell crap to China and indirectly it would harm China?

How dare you question the motives, integrity or nature of this fine upstanding gentleman; a true paragon of virtue and a National Living Treasure.

Next AusGAF member who gets jury duty will surely be sitting in the gallery for markot's sedition trial and his horrible slanderous inferences about Mr Palmer.

Because obviously the USA needs every bit of help to keep up with Australia's mineral dominance. I mean the US coal industry is only twice as big as the Australian one. Can't you read between the lines markot?

Maybe they had to recall them back to the factory for editing, and you'll end up with some weird dirigible instead.

PAX East map just came out.

Can't believe I'm actually going to meet some of my favourite devs!

 

[Fredescu]

I don't remember the exact policy on magazine scans, but there's an image from PCPP floating around that looks like a Dark Souls PC reference.

 

[Jintor]

Does it count if the person who scanned it is a member of the writing team on the mag? 'cos Cocks took that pic.

 

[Fredescu]

Oh, is that issue out already?

 

[Jintor]

Team copies. Should be on shelves today by my schedule.

I really want to go to a PAX one year...

 

[senahorse]

I wish you could give it to people that actually want to go to it. After my experience last year I all but completely lost confidence in the jury process and the way in which peoples ideals and/or decisions can be turned through influence.

 

[Choc]

Why doesn't the deep heat box warn putting cream near particular regions = incredibly painful burning sensation in said parts :<

 

[Rezbit]

Man, why would you WANT to go on jury duty? Get paid a pittance instead of your real work, boring as hell, usually have to do it with complete numpties.

Choc are you serious. Are you not a grown-ass man. Haven't you seen any shitty movies where dudes put sports cream in other people's jocks as a practical joke? Because it ain't comfortable. Assuming those are said parts...haha.

They seem to have revised their pay structure for jury duty since I was last there. It appears there are two payment types, one for a person who enters as employed, the other for an unemployed person. Last I checked if you go in to jury duty as an employed person, once you hit day 11, it works out at $1,000 per week; that's a decent incentive for a lot of people.

Pretty decent if you ask me. That's not including any travel allowance payable.

Yes, your employer doesn't have to continue to pay you on jury duty, but if it's only a short case, like a few days or so, most workplaces continue to pay and you just sign the cheque over to them when you receive it.

Ah yes. Well that is better.

But what if it was a case relating to the mob and then they put a hit out on you. I wouldnt want that.

Oh great, looks like Dark Souls could be PC bound, shamelessly taken from a gaming thread:

[codswallop]

What exactly are the benefits of it being on PC, except for a frame rate that's actually stable if your PC can handle that, and a possible higher resolution (the graphics are pretty ordinary so this wouldn't make much difference)?

 

[senahorse]

The stable frame rate is a big plus imo, plus mods I guess.

 

[Fredescu]

Most people bitched about the terrible framerate in certain areas, so that's a biggy. A PC port is no guarantee that it will be fixed, but apparently it uses the same engine as the Dirt series which runs pretty damn well.

 

[codswallop]

Yeah the frame rate is the only reason I could think of, and it's pretty bad on 360 at times. I thought there may have been some sort of other rumours about added bits.

 

[Rezbit]

Easy mode?

 

[shanshan310]

And you even get PAID for it?! Damn, sign me up.

Wouldn't be surprised if someone made a savestate mod.

[oipic]

Valve has finally given me permission to play DOTA2 ;_;

Nice one!

I'm so damn excited to start playing. I can't wait until I get into a game to have people yell obscenities at me, then never play it again.

Yeah, I'm a patient soul, but my worry with this DOTA2 thing is that I'll be so LTTP that my lack of mad skillz will see me quickly alienated and torn asunder by the hardcore elite. Likely to happen anyway, regardless.

I'm hoping for some

Have EB stopped selling Game Informer subs via their website? Nothing comes up when searching for it, and the Game Informer website itself mentions subscribing/re-subscribing via MagShop.com.au (for an additional $10).

Last time I resubbed I had to go to EB and get a card to mail away from them, I couldn't sign up on the spot so I assume it is the same with the website now too. It is just one of those pull off postcards.

Saved one of these from the wrath of female train commuters this morning.

Who knew people could be so scared of something that harmless looking.

Currently have 3 buckets of molasses in our garden because the gf is sick of hearing the damn crickets blabbering on in heat every night while trying to sleep. Fuck em, they can go get laid at someone else's backyard.

Einstein was also an awesome wedding planner. Every wedding went off without a hitch because of his planning using electromagnetism.

I think I will have to make an appearance in Melbourne for it. Haven't seen the Bool in too long and they always put on a damn good show. Plus new tracks!

EVERYTHING! Faster load times with an SSD, 60FPS, High resolution graphics, full use of a keyboard or controller if you want, choice!, Steam Sales!!!

No, no, you've got it all wrong. You use the situation to solicit huge bribes from the accused.

So: It's prettier. Except that the game as-is is quite ugly, and it's not to do with the resolution. I don't see keyboard and mouse control as an improvement for this particular game.

I use a cleaver. Much more efficient.

I doubt it.

The main advantage is that a bunch of non PS3-360 owning folks can buy Dark Souls!

 

[Fredescu]

So: It's prettier.

Better framerate goes beyond looks.

 

[codswallop]

Better framerate goes beyond looks.

To an extent, sure. I wouldn't give a shit if every game in the future was stable at 30fps.

Indeed it is!

You wouldn't give a shit if you lived in fantasy land!
