VOOK

We don't know why he keeps buying PAL, either.
a) who paid $700 for a used iPad
b) a new iPad is $899?

What?

I sold my 64GB 3G iPad about 10 days before the new one was revealed for $700.

Not bad.

Yes a 64GB '4'G iPad with 3G is $899.

Gravity Daze is fantastic!

Vita peeps need to import now, or buy Gravity Rush when it releases in the west in June.

Karnivool have released a third show in Melbourne on the Saturday, realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly tempting to grab a ticket. Redcoats are fucking awesome live too and SleepMakeWaves seem cool. Would love to hear the new tracks early too.

I saw sleep makes waves backing up Boris last Saturday night at the Corner Hotel, they were solid. Strictly instrumental but the band had some great energy and some really cool songs.

I was thinking "hmm these guys would make great supports for 'Vool" when i was watching them... and bam, they are the supports, hahahah. I'm also going to the first melbourne Karnivool show, should be a good night.

What Mass Effect has shown me the possibilities of is that you could maybe possibly build a awesome action-orientated gameplay system and then layer RPG-ness on top of that. I don't regard turn-based combat as necessary or even desirable to the RPG experience. My greatest dream is Bayonetta-esque combat with dialogue trees, characters that are awesome, a world I give a shit about, etc. It'd probably be a superhero game or something, I don't know.

Also, her replacement in ME3 is the cutest. dat accent.

RPG to me is about choice, largely you have fuck all choices in ME apart from the odd renegade/paragon dialgoue path. :/

Like even combat choices are super limited. Eh.

Did you play Alpha Protocol?

ME has choices but they're weird choices. Like they don't really change your route but they change the decor as you go.
 
I think you can have implied sex with her, I forget. She is the cutest, though.

She was insanely obvious about it from the beginning, even with female characters (does that change things?). Funniest romance is trying to hit on Jacobs though. So awkward.
and then I never took him on a mission again.
 
Mass Effect is a pretty straight forward experience. It is a cinematic experience with great little things that change. Nothing big, just enough to make it interesting.

Also Jintor that game would be released on the PSP and never leave Japan :(

Good to hear, was the only launch window game I was interested in outside of Ultimate Mahvel. Western release is a little after E3 so hopefully there'll be some substantial announcements there so I can finally jump on the Vita train.

Eh, the choices in the Mass Effect series seemed like pretty huge choices to me.


and then the ME3 ending shits on all of it.

I wish there were more romance things to do in ME. Like take people to space karaoke yakuza style or something lol

Yeah, I think jint had the V right actually. The key is to never take advice from me lol.

Actually I'm kinda surprised how I understand almost all of Gravity Daze. Too bad it's not japanese voices as well, but instead it's gibberish (or maybe french, can't tell) with subtitles:/

Do it! You know you want to.

Going to the Adelaide show myself and really looking forward to their new material. They played one new song on the last tour they did (The Refusal I think it was called). It was a great song, loud and plenty of energy, might be a taste of what the new album offers.
 
Looks like my box of creme eggs came. I'll post pics once I get them from the post office.




hahaha

But check has cooties, ew.



Careful, I keep getting emails like that ("someone has hacked your account" etc) and I don't HAVE a battle.net account.
I clicked one of those once. Then hey guess what. I totally got haxorz.

I didn't get that feeling at all, perhaps it was because I wasn't 100% paragon/renegade which actually prevents you from making a fair few key decisions.
 
The Game of Thrones season 1 blu rays are hnnnnngggg good. I'm noticing all these little details I never saw before. The special features are nice too.

What's this Hunger Games thing I'm seeing everywhere? Apart from it having a colossally stupid name (honestly, it sounds like a hotdog eating contest), is it tipped to be any good? Is it meant to be fantasy or sci fi?

Also, on the weekend, my cousins came over and spent a few hours trying (and eventually succeeding) in beating the boost ball guardian from Metroid Prime 2 for me. I've been stuck on it for more than a year, but they died enough times themselves that I don't feel like such a doofus.

I'm guessing this was the big AC3 bit of info EB was on about on twitter? Although they still haven't confirmed it? The CE looks a little stupid - http://ebgames.com.au/sale-product-1914-home-Assassins-Creed-III---Freedom-Edition

@ Squirrel, I thought hunger games was just a slightly different engrish version take on battle royale.

Also for those who read. What's the best portable device? Is it one of the kindles? That nook thingy? Do i just stick with my iPad 2 and attempt to take that on the train?

I'm thinking of maybe not listening to music in the morning since i'm probably slowly going deaf. So I may as well try and read text on a screen and send myself blind instead.

Is Sonic 4 Ep1 worth $3.40?

Edit 1: I should preface this with the fact that I generally don't find Sonic games particularly good.

Edit 2: I guess I just solved my own question. Cheers everyone.

I noticed the preview thread in gaming this morning, So i'm guessing it's actually that and not the CE crap. I thought being EB though it's probably some sort of $$$ thing you can purchase exclusively from them.

Oh their twitter just updated. I was right, it's the freedom edition which is exclusive to EB.

Lame.
