If Tony promises to tear it up he does 1 of two things
1) Tells us a lie
2) Gives Telstra 30 billion dollars as compo for cancelling the NBN. Buh bye surplus.

The Libs won't can it at this point. It will be too difficult to stop and it's not a wedge issue any more.
Oh ye of lots of faith.

This Dust 514 trailer is amazeballs. 24 minute mark. THAT is the kind of cross game play I want!
I assume they slashed their sales forecasts and are now working out if they can have it out within the next month or if they can hold out for another 1-10 years before waiting for the Diablo 3 fervour to die down. Even people who had lost interest in Diablo 3 and were on the Torchlight wagon have thrown down their pre-order cash and organised holidays from work for the great ones return.
They delayed themselves out of the game, which is a huge shame. If they got it out around Christmas last year like they planned we may have even seen a delay for Diablo 3 depending on how T2 would have been received.
I hope they can survive but I have a feeling they may be in trouble.
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

Cairns wins judgement against Modi over match fixing tweet. Man, the huge amount of players testifying against Cairns made me think he had no chance but apparently they were inconsistent and sounds like they were put up to it.
Cairns walks away with $142,000 but the big one is the court costs ($2.4 million) which would have made it a hugely expensive effort to protect ones reputation.

That makes me sad. At this point they would've been better off going for an open beta for all pre-orderers to at least get the vibe out there. As it is, I haven't heard shit and it's been delayed for over three months now. I too think any chance they had to get a leg up on D3 is well and truly gone. I'll still be getting it, though.
Edit: This really doesn't sound good at all. Almost like a white flag
This unofficial answer saying that they're hoping the game it out by March isn't great either, given that we haven't even been given an ETA and it's almost April :/

Shanues (or anyone else for that matter) you still chasing Dodonpachi resurrection on 360?
Nup, got it. TBH it was a little too intense pour moi, I preferred the dumbed-downness of the iOS version. If you were looking for one, I'd be happy to sell you mine

I've played a few pinball games on iOS that have been pretty good. Not sure how using a controller and a "non tated" screen would go though.
I actually play PA on iOS in landscape mode. Easier to get a good idea of the angles you'll hit that way rather than trying to see the whole table in portrait. Give it a shot.
Ahhh Sal's daily photo blog post type thing, just what I needed. Looks cool!
Meanwhile I'm still in the office after sitting in on a teleconference with some doofuses from London office. On the plus side, someone bought us some tasty bentos for dinner
How's the online? If it's remotely decent I might pick it up.
The greens are the only party that believes in natural monopoly it seems........but at least the network would be as planned.
not some bastardardised Fibre to the node network that should have been completed 8 years ago.
hopefully that will happen in end .......like in New Zealand. Although history has a pesky way of repeating itself >_>
Is the game pure fun? Or is it the collecting/unlocking billions of crap that's hooked you?
Also rezbit's question.

ME3 for $39 is the biggest shocker IMO.
To think I paid $65 just 2 weeks ago

If only the PS Vita was half price
I spoke too soon earlier, this virus isn't going away. I fell asleep at 2am and woke up at 4am absolutely on fire and nauseous as hell. No matter what I do, I can't get cool, might go have myself a cold shower. I'm having a hard time keeping myself hydrated I'm sweating so much, it's ridiculous.
The rate of recovery is so slow, this weekend isn't looking promising.
Edit: Cold shower was great until I stepped out of it and immediately started sweating again. Fuck this shit.

I will say again. Torchlight 2 was dated for june 2011 then it got a date of july 16. You say delayed 3 months. I say 1 year. D3 didnt do enough to change from d2 which us not a game I want to play anymore. Its tedious and stupid and hard to play. Torchlight imprived on everything and people that,played the original on pc will still get it. Main stream sure d3 might have taken some of its sales away but how many really? I say not a lot.

Those Harvey Norman prices are pretty impressive. I'll be definitely picking up Mass Effect 3 at that price, since the best price elsewhere is still $60 (e.g. Zavvi, OGS, etc). Gears of War 3 and Arkham City are also pretty good prices.
Actually LA Noire is only $20 as well... been waiting until it was ultra cheap before picking up.
There goes a bunch of money.

My sentiments exactly. Played through the beta co-op with a mate and felt pretty much nothing for the game.
There's nothing at Harvey Norman that I want in that sale.
ME3 I will wait until all the bullshit DLC is out in a nice little package. Just to see what sort of madness they attempt to change with it.
LA Noire was like $10 on steam and has been a few times. Unless you want to play it on console cod, you're paying a little too much there.
I would be tempted by FF13-2 but I haven't played an FF since ... Um 10 maybe? I dunno, It's been a long fucking time and even then I barely touch my PS3 anymore. I still have uncharted 3 to finish, Maybe I should do that this weekend. Although I need a hdmi cable, Ok so maybe not.
I'm going to guess i'm the only one who actually dislikes the macbook trackpad and it's shitty clicking? I find that it needs a little too much pressure to actually get a mouse click and double clicking is a bitch, even if you increase or decrease the speed, it still doesn't feel right.

Bugger that then. I'll wait for a Steam sale on that one. Going to pick up Gears of War 3, Mass Effect 3 and Arkham City for 360.
