Sleeping Dogs looks fantastic on PC, performance is awesome too (ignore the idiots in the OT turning on Super Sampling and crying about the frames).

Because they're five dollars a battery? Trust a photo nerd to recommend much better gear than someone needs.
As opposed to how much per battery for Eneloops? The little extra cash (or less cash depending on where you shop) makes a huge difference when you're talking 20% more power per battery.
I hear that. I would want the same if it weren't for the big compromise.

Big difference for a flash, sure, probably not as big for a controller which, for me, lasts a couple of weeks to months between changes.
I bought sixteen Eneloops for $30 I think? Dick Smith had some deal a while back (hi Rep!).
That's when they were on special though, hardly a point of contention. On that site, dollar for dollar the Imedions win, because the price is the same, and the price is not that dissimilar elsewhere.
On the controller point, sure, it's not going to matter that much. Outside of that, using them in different applications, you'll see a marked difference
Then you trip over the cord and smash your face on something AND DIE!@

Pfft! Why don't we all go back to living in the year 2000 then!
Fuck that! I love my Wavebird et al.

The cable in my wired controller broke.
then again i have like 3 non working xb 360 batteries around the house too....
For consoles, I thought wireless controllers was a great thing. No worries about some drunken fool or parent passing through the lounge room tripping on a cable.
For a PC, I don't see the big deal, except if you bring in the lounge room situation again. You're tied down to a desk and chair where the computer needs a power cable and the monitors need power and video cables. Your keyboard and mouse rarely leave a fixed position on the desk, why the sudden need for wireless? A needless complication to solve a problem that didn't exist.

Finally caught up on AusGAF, been preoccupied lately.
Hated that track and the video. Will check out the album though, thanks for the reminder.
That episode is heaps good! pfft
Mmm I started uni again yesterday and live on campus. It's been 3 months since I've been here so it's been heaps of fun catching up with everyone and I'm happy as larry. But when I go to my room for 5 seconds and be alone I get down and start aching for a girl I left at home.
I kinda just hijacked your comment which is completely unrelated ha

lol, well I did go just back to uni, and I pining about a girl, so clearly we're on a psychic wavelength or suchlike.
Re: controllers, I like to go with wireless ones because I have buckets of rechargable batteries right by my desk.
I'm keeping away from anything about it til it's on my screen
Fair enough, the wallpaper is badarse though. Also, I didn't know that Doctor Who was on ABC2 every night! WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED? This is what i get for not paying much attention to TV.
What good is a duck pond if there aren't any ducks!
I like both, now what?

Are there any good games magazine subscription available on the iPad? I know there are lots but looking for good preferably cheap ones.
Jaffe is an arse.
What was the opinion article about and what was the gist of it?

Sounds like Jaffe.
Retro Gamer is the only good gaming mag so try that.
It's more or less about why the phrase "girlfriend mode" is sexist in its use and wording, intentional or not. Apparently that's link bait and yellow journalism. Who knew.
Girlfriend Mode is such a mentally feeble and socially clueless phrase. There's a whole nasty little constellation of shitty attitudes in it.
Reading that, sounds like jaffe is just being as irrelevant as he has been since twisted metal 2.

mine too. Not only does 'girlfriend mode' suggest that girls are bad at games, it also implies that the only reason girls would game is because they have a gamer boyfriend.
How does this even relate to the term 'girlfriend mode' at all? =/

Actually his response reads that Wildgoose misquoted and misrepresented him. Saying that he made it up.

Because you just know when people see the word sexist they lose their mind with excitement. And I don't think Jaffe knows what yellow journalism is.
Which is bizarre because the context of most of what he is responding to is not actually about Jaffe and his opinions, but largely about the term 'girlfriend mode' in and of itself.
...I think. I'm in a litigation lecture right now so I might be totally thorough.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
All the hubris surrounding this dumb 'girlfriend mode' controversy can be boiled down to: "Hey, Hemingway, your nickname for this mode is kinda dumb. Maybe don't mention it in interviews." That's it.
You have any more wrong opinions to share today?

Right here. How about Novice Mode? Or, and this could just be a bit too radical, 'easy'?
It seems like Jaffe has taken the whole thing really personally. Which is bizarre because it's barely about him. He claims Wildgoose is jumping to conclusions and then jumps to his own. His blog post really reads like someone who is pissed off rather than someone who is making a rational point.
