Really? Bugger.
For the English version, at least. It's boxed in Japan, but that's it (for now). I guess, depending on popularity they *may* release a boxed version (and it seems to be VERY popular) but I don't know how long you'll wait (if at all).
It's only $15 if you have PSN+, and it's totally worth it. Would've paid many times that amount had I known exactly how good it is.

Understatement!
I wish I could, but I have imposed a closed system DD boycott on myself. Steam only barely escapes since it is on PC, but console purchases are gone for me
Edit: LOL, the Too Strict thread is in meltdown over the Bish stickies. Farewell if I copped a ban.
Makes me want to buy a PS3 just for that. >_>
Unless you want her to be turned off video games forever. Get her to play Baldurs Gate 2 instead.
:/
That said, I do love to recite it. But perhaps largely because I like reciting any poetry.
My gf is currently playing through Dragon Age and is loving it, but then again these games are part of her collection:
Big box 4 lyfe yo
Screw Tennyson, and Screw the God-damned Lady of god-damned Shallot!
This game is 100% worth it. Have to ask why, though? Surely exceptions can be made in extreme circumstances (such as this). Otherwise there is literally no way you'll be able to play it... at least, in English.I wish I could, but I have imposed a closed system DD boycott on myself.

new gas bill is being posted out
$78
much better than $1,560
Awesome, what was the problem, faulty meter?
they used the initial reading from the other meter (got 2, one for gas one for hot water i guess)
my question now is where they got the new reading from lol.. but hey.. $76 i dont even care
Just on principle. I like controlling my purchases. Having to rely on legacy hardware to play games that will not be redownloadable is starting to bother me.

Not sure if I agree with all the bans/not bans in the creeper thread, unless he's not finished yet.
but but. Lots of girls got into gaming by playing it. Though it probably helps if they are already into fantasy stuff.
EDIT: oh yeah, and multiplayer platforming stuff is probably fun too ^^

I wouldn't suggest DA:O or Baldur's Gate as a game to get girls into gaming unless they're already massive fantasy nerds.
My wife's favourites are Rollercoaster Tycoon, Zoo Tycoon, some adventure games (she enjoyed helping out with Machinarium) as well as the older stuff like Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World etc.

Fair call. But you could always do what I do and think of it as a cost in relation to, say, going to the cinema or going bowling or heading to Timezone or drinking at the pub. All those experiences are far more finite than this yet I bet are easily justifiable. So what if you can't play something in a few years that you spent $20 on? It's lasted longer than any of those other things.
Board Game AusGAF. Kingsburg is pretty fun. Fairly simple so far, essentially its a roll selection game, but based on what you roll on your dice (which you can influence in a few different ways etc) crossed with a straight euro collect x resource and trade for y resource / victory point / building game.
Works pretty well with 2, imagine it would improve again with more players although could get a bit too thinky with 5 as you really want to pay attention to what others roll in determining which roll you pick.

I've thought about that. And yeah, I can see the value proposition. I am just used to game purchases being effectively permanent (Shitty WinXP death of some my DOSWin95 games notwithstanding). Same with movies. I don't really go to the cinema these days, I wait and get the disc for cheaper than 2 tickets will cost. I find as I get older, I buy less games, but I play them for longer.
But I will investigate this Tockio Juble game.
HAhaha, this video.

Skyrim on 360 for $27 GoD code
Dead Island on PC for $8
I suck as a husband
Basically I expect the big 3 to be profit focused rather than letting me play my damn games and as such they won't be getting $110 out of me per game like the old days.

Her brother plays D&D so I don't think that one will fly!
Set it up to turn off after 3 hours of no use, or use one of those energy saver powerboards that people keep knocking on my door about.Neither. Hope I can turn my PS3 off without having to venture into the cold cold living room
Which company? Glad to see they weren't dicks about it.new gas bill is being posted out

FFS! I just remembered that was like 75% off at GOG the other day and I had been waiting to pick up Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 for the wife since it got up there since it's one of her favourites!

Bothers the hell out of me too but historically the community will shower em with joy in regards to legacy hardware/software so I have to look at my PSN/XBLA purchases as more of 'renting' or short term purchase and value the game as such. I fully expect that in 5 years time I won't have access (or right now since I have no fucking clue what XBLA games I own since it is a bitch to find the uninstalled ones in the new dashboard) to them. Until I download a version to play through emulation, or at that piont the old console can be homebrewed to play all the classics.

This was the best response;

"I didn't think anyone other than Liberals would hear me talking in such a disrespectful way. I am sorry I got caught out. Next time I will make sure there is a doctor in the room so I am covered with that sweet sweet confidentiality thingy."
How so? An apology consists of "I'm sorry" not couching it, or using the same 45 minutes to attack policy, and so on. And anyway, he only apologised because he was caught. He says as much.
He's previously apologised for the chaff bag line. Which apparently meant nothing as he signed a chaff bag jacket for the auction at the SULC event. So basically, even though he has apologised, so what? It's not like we're to expect he'll stop saying this rubbish.

I don't really know anything else about the guy. I just think his explanation of the context as well as his straight up wearing of the blame for the comment seemed about as graceful a handling of situation as one could manage. When prompted by questions he got distracted, but he took the blame up-front.

Nothing about it was graceful but he did indeed apologise, even if he did use the platform to spend 45 minutes raging on about Labor lies and her being the head of the worst government in Australian history.
Graceful would have been apologising and letting the topic die off for a few days before getting back into the shit flinging again.

Did he do that in the last fifteen minutes of the 40-something minute video? I didn't watch the end.

I'm probably (definitely) biased being a journo, but I can't understand the flak this guy is taking for reporting the Jones story.
And I don't think most people understand that off the record is essentially the journalist's perogative. I mean if someone says "this is off the record" and you publish it anyway you've burnt that bridge, but it's not a legal term or anything.

I'm sorry if I sound like a broken record, or a badly downloaded MP3, or what have you, but why are we spending time talking about someone who doesn't matter and brings nothing into the world?
Rez, you have an avatar of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. I think Stephen Fry is the most interesting person on the planet. And I want to grow up to be Hugh Laurie one day. Top work sir!
And here's a Late Show parody of Doctor Who I haven't seen in ages.
And here's all of Bargearse. It's probably the funniest thing you'll see all day.

Little bear toy is lonely and depressed. Finds sunglasses and hat and tries to make some sort of human to hug him. Fails miserably and remains lonely and depressed.
For context, this is a programming assignmnent. That is to say,
bear.setPostTransform(102.4F, 2, 12.3333F);
bear.setRotation('y', 42);
camera.setTarget(bear);
camera.setPostTransform(x, y, z * time);
So, on the plus side, it's okay if the animation looks bad. Because we're making them using openGL and shapes we've had to program, vertex by vertex, ourselves. The downside is that even the simpliest of ideas will take me like two weeks to make.
Oh, there can also be a MAGIC CARPET. As opposed to a magikarp-et.
