Murdoch advocating piracy? What a hypocrite.
Is adelaide now a news ltd site? Just post the article text in quotes without a link if so. Murdoch seems to think thats fine.
It is, so quote away :lol
I'm going on a minor SNES hunt again. Ordered a copy of Flashback which I also just learnt is not the sequel to Another World. Which I'll hunt down too. Need another controller too.
Well, that's assuming there is anything worth reading in the first place. The Wiggles' Treatise on Quantum Chromodynamics in a post-M-Brane Topological Landscape would be a more likely publication than a piece of good writing on anything from News Ltd "journalists". Does Jim Sterling write for them I wonder...

Just got a US iTunes account. Streaming Mad Men in 1080p hours after it aired is so good.
There' not.
I only ever use it for the Breaking News page, and these days Twitter, Facebook and other news sites are better and faster.
This is relevant to my interests.
Making an account is easily done, buying credit though is a tiny bit hard.
I've just gone from a 17" old macbook to a slightly newer 15" macbook and I think I want to go back.
It's snappier though but oh man I miss the screen real estate especially when having to deal with spreadsheets and switching between application windows.
See If I can get used to it D:

Just picked a site that sells US iTunes credit. I used this one, they emailed me the code in about half an hour.
I have an Apple TV and I can't see any reason to not have my US account logged in all the time on there.
Why exactly are people hating on him? Did he implement something they didn't like, or just Battlefield fanboys?

I didn't find any of these funny or awesome. Sorry man.
Option 1: I thought he "disbanded" a while ago?JET have disbanded...
Option 2: How will I stay up-to-date with important Afro-American-centric news now?
Take your pick.
He's the community manager for CoD so he's the human lightning rod for stupid, pointless hate.

He would be copping the hate for it regardless, even if he didn't tell the community considering he's the first point of contact for the community.

You're giving me an even worse impression of engineering students. :/
It's nothing that specific. Every single perceived fault with IW's CoD games are blamed on him because he's the public face. Overpowered perks and weapons and such. The nature of the game attracts aggressive competitive types, resulting in these sort of comments.
For all you Diablo/Titan Quest/Torchlight lovers out there, Path of Exile (currently in closed beta), the F2P ARPG by some guys in New Zealand, are having an open-to-the-public weekend this weekend. http://www.pathofexile.com/publicweekend/
Might be cool to party up with a few people if anyone is interested.

SydGAF Board Gamers... there is a possibility that this may arrive by our gaming day on Sunday:
Fingers crossed! Not sure if you guys are Discworld fans either, but apparently the game isn't too bad even if you aren't familiar with the lore.
Unfortunately, BanShunsaku can't make it (very busy) and probably won't be able to make any Sunday ones for a while, unfortunately. Everybody else has already confirmed, though: Clipper, Danoss, Doncamatic, Jintor, Rahk.
And as always, if others are interested in joining in, let us know.

Discworld is utterly brilliant!
Those corrections are so shitty, because most people don't read them and the original, bullshit story sticks in their mind.
Forgot to carry the 2.

I reckon if newspapers are going to make reports that are sensationalised in any way, the follow-up corrections should by law be made to be equally prominent. So if the original story was on page 5 and took up a single column for half the page - that's where it should go.
If it's a front page story that is blatantly wrong due to lack of fact checking, then the correction should be taking up the exact same size on the front page as well.
Seeing as this story relates to the australian's favourite infrastructure scheme (i.e the NBN) then I expect this would make it a front page fuck up.
Regulations like that would at least make sure that facts were checked and double checked.
Really? I guess you've got to know the lecturers to really appreciate the videos then. A lot of the jokes were related to the course, but the fact that they got up their and did that is pretty awesome.
Both are incredibly entertaining lecturers (and are soon the be the heads of departments).
Ah c'mon we're not that bad!

Heh, I guess it's lucky I decided to post it. Wouldn't want you to cancel on us with late notice a third time in a row...
No offence, I just find it funny

I've been reading the Australian for years.....but its pretty disgraceful the amount of half-truths bordering on flat out lies they've been peddling about the NBN.
eg: day before/on the federal election they had a story about how every household would have to pay thousands of dollars to rewire their homes even though most people just use wifi routers.
Have either of you played the game, or are you reacting just on the fact that it's a Discworld board game, like I did? I didn't even know it existed, until Sunday last week, but I saw an image of it in passing and then I knew I pretty much had to get it. After checking out a few reviews to prove that it wasn't crap, the purchase was made!
Wonder if Choc has seen this;

None taken. Aside from anything else though, I don't really like leaving the house on weekends... especially when I have this mountain of uni work to get through.

How much per episode?
Amusing.
Surely Apple aren't that stupid. They must be trying to make a point of some kind.

$2.99 for 1080p, $1.99 for SD
Might be fun. I made an account.
Just because it's a broadsheet doesn't seem to stop the australian from being of the same base level as most other news ltd tabloids. They still peddle the same rubbish, only with an expanded vocabulary.
But it's never surprising to see their lies exposed.
As well they should.
hahaha serves em fucking right
its ridiculous.
they will have to make AU specific boxes now and ads
Has there been any word on Torchlight 2 yet? I remember they were shooting for Christmas 2011, but that's slipped at least once, possibly multiple times

So is the next election likely to come down to the NBN as a key platform. Are the liberals still dead set on killing it?

SUPER A CLASH OF KINGS SPOILERS DO NOT HIGHLIGHT
Despite my better judgment, for a second there I honestly thought he'd killed Bran off-screen. Theon's chapters are all so damn good.
