Queue the traditionalists espousing the quality of the game. While its really absolute Fucking trash as a spectacle. AFL really is an awful game at its core, severely lacking in tactics.
They changed the rules about incorrect disposal iirc...
Finals footy is more about heart than technique
Also because of the zone defense, it necessitates getting the ball moving as fast as possible
Pretty poor excuse (from the afl). There was no correct disposal and he was dispossessed in a tackle.
Holding the ball, every time.
The rules are a farce, when simple things like that rule are thrown out for no reason.
No wonder games that are overregulated with ticky touchwood fake rules never pick up outside the insular places they begin.
Too easy. The only thing leigh matthews does is waffle on
Yeah, for some reason commentators think no scoring and sloppy skills with lots of tackles = good game. Funnily enough the game got better to watch in the last 5 mins with some arsey goals.
Also I fucking hate how incorrect disposal isn't a rule any more. Blame Chris Judd. I'm totally serious. "I've got the ball! OMG I'm being tackled!" *drop*

Ablett does it too, all the time. Its cheating.
It's also more annoying because now they give fifty metre penalties for stepping over a blade of grass or backchat, but they dont even give a free kick for tackling the player with the ball who has been too ambitious.
I thought that's how it always was. I don't know much about the sport, but as a casual observer, that's what it looks like. I thought of AFL for the longest time as "Butterfingers: The Game".

According to this years intepretation you only have to attempt to dispose so that gives a lot of leeway for the person with the ball
Whereas in the past a drop of the ball is an automatic free kick

We can all go down to the telegraph and get hour-priced stines!
The thing that I've most loved about PAX is hearing people in the industry. From the game developers to programmers to the indie guys who do jack of all trade stuff, and even the journalists who cover the stuff. PAX to me isn't so much about the games as it is the people behind the games, and that of course includes the fans.
And, at that, I'm in the middle of getting my degree, which covers a minor in Game Design. But, me living in Tasmania means job opportunities for that don't really exist. So simply hearing the success stories, and even the stories that didn't have a happy ending, would be super enthralling.
Isn't the guy who made QWOP Australian? And Rockit, who headed DayZ, seems to be in New Zealand quite often. I'd love to hear them speak for an hour about design philosophy in general. Even if it's not those two specific dudes, Aussie developers are a must have.

Also, we need to have an AusGAFPAX get together (in addition to the meetup Shan seems to be planning).

Congrats, man. Besides desiring it be held in Melbourne, I'd really like to see an area for Australian indie devs, as well as (what remains of) the bigger guys. Even team Bondi. Perhaps a panel with some ex staff from some of the bigger houses that have been shut down discussing their games. Antiques Roadshow would be nice if Kohler is coming. I'd love a 'history lane' with old arcade an console games, sort of like the entrance to the Game Masters thing.
I expect we'll see accompanying parties at Mana Bar?
As fuck, PAXAU neeeeeeds to have Kohler there. I owe him so many man hugs and need to get him drunk in Australia. Yes. Yes yes yes.
But yeah, more than anything else, I really think this should be a show that's about Australian / NZ devs and players as much as possible. Of course all the big distributors will want to be showcasing their big overseas games and that's great, but I'd rather this be more about the local scene because we're at this cool point now where everything is recovering and people are doing cool stuff here.
I'll be there even if you foolishly put it somewhere that isn't Brisbane

I can. You just need to assume there are idiots who will defend anything.

You need a housemate like mine. OCD about cleaning, does everything himself or he can't sleep.
1) The final game in the AUSPAX Omegathon should be a battle to the death with Aussie Rules Footy for the NES.
2) I'd love to see something like an Aussie gaming museum -- Classic games from Beam, Ratbag etc. on show.
3) Postmortems aren't much of a thing for PAX in the past, but I'd loved GDC's style classic postmortems on some of this stuff. Someone from Beam at least
4) Assuming this thing exists between PAX East and PAX Prime, if it's after E3 but before Gamescom, that'd mean we get the first on-hand play of new machines, right?
5) If we see PAX having Podcasts like GFW Radio and Idle Thumbs getting Panels, surely we can get Ed Kavalee and Tony Martin in for a Get This panel?

How about Penetrator for TRS-80, made at Melbourne House.
Come to think of it...
Get some of these older guys from the early days who may not even be in 'the industry' any more to talk about it.

Quick, where can I get an Esoteric licence to practise?
So Bubsy, Super Mario Kart and Gnat Attack?

Lol, vids! New avatar!
Made it to HK. Watched Brave on the plane. Stutterred horribly while saying Panini to the hot air hostess, and then said bread instead.... Read a bit of the new murakami book. Sideways business class seats suck! Umm, thats all i guess. Gonna go out for some food now!
Can't believe I haven't seen "Everything is a Remix" up until now. It demonstrates well how influential and inspiring art/others works is on the creation of other peoples works and ultimately how patents and such stifle creativity and the evolution of ideas.
Definitely worth a watch, and it relates well to the Apple v Samsung, those jerks vs Men at Work's Greg Ham, and other similar lawsuits of late. Here's a brief TED talk on the same topic by the same person.

Well, depending on when and where it is we could combine it into one!! Ausgaf goes to PAX!
Oh jeez, I don't think I could do two sexual harassment threads in one day...
"Give me money. Also let me play with your boobs... do you want to be unhealthy?".
The problems aren't patents/copyright/IP law themselves as an overall concept, the problem is that they're just not flexible enough to accomodate how innovation actually occurs, especially with regards to areas like software (which depends on building upon itself constantly)
He mentions this specifically.
The TED talk is the series condensed into 10 minutes, and is still good. The more elaborate details in the full series is very interesting and is worth your time when you have it to spare.
I've been meaning to watch this for a while now, the Ted talk was great.
I'm slightly worried about a friend with lots of New Age acquaintances.
If she ends up paying for this guy to rub her boobs, I will be kind of mad.

Make sure she knows you can get that kind of thing for free.
Or at least rebated through Medicare
