Mr Tate branded the social media response to the comments as "21st Century censorship, via cyber bullying".

"We have taken this unprecedented decision to suspend advertising in the Alan Jones Breakfast Show until further notice so that all of our advertisers are on an equal footing, can regroup and discuss with us the way forward and how we together deal with these attempts to damage great Australian businesses," he said.
 
So if I'm reading that right, Macquarie Radio Network is spin doctoring what has happened to the effect of "People are boycotting businesses that support Alan Jones causing businesses to pull their sponsorship. This is in effect censoring the voice of Australian business and bullying them out of advertising and therefore making money."


Wow. That is pure spin gold. They need to officially take Shane Warnes' "Sultan of Spin" title and give it to the person that authored that pile of bullshit.

Free speech only applies to businesses. And Alan Jones.
 
Fredescu et al: My girlfriends PC is a bit on the low range side and she wants to play blur and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and her CPU is letting her computer down. I'm donating my old 460GTX t her and she needs a better power supply. What's the minimum power supply I should be looking at? Also what mid rage CPU should I be looking at?Any thoughts?

It's hilarious. the only power consumers have is in aggregate and apparently that's bullying. I wonder what they think democracy is.

Never said anything about using GiantBombs API :p

Edit: put me down as a very maybe for melbgaf

I don't think Giant Bomb has a raw list of games to have come out each year. They might, but it was simply an easier task to just copy / paste a list from wikipedia rather than doing anything more complex.

EDIT: Oh, they do. It's just broken.
 
Pics or didn't happen.

For your...ummm...enjoyment.

Outrageous! It's almost pornography, dear sir.



Unless there is something about the outfits that I can't see, there's nothing about them that I haven't seen worse whilst... well, anywhere.

Thanks, Jr.

Looks like work boots, orange socks, and hot pants. That should be worth prison time.

But if some of the advertisers are saying 'we won't go back' then it is a smart move on the part of the network to say, 'let's just stop this right here'.
So it was a smart move to avoid advertisers saying they would never go back, unlike in the past when they have quietly jumped back on after the heat had died down. Very smart move. No need to throw out the 'bullying' reason though, they aren't coming from a noble enough place to pull that one.

600-650w will be plenty. Go modular just for ease of installation.

For the CPU just go with the 2500k equivalent, not sure off the top of my head but everyone in SteamAusGAF will tell you off the bat, haven't looked into it since I built my PC a year ago.

Resident Evil 6 is so bad

its just SO BAD
Weren't you saying the other day that the reviewers were piling on for no good reason?

The Leon demo was decent aside from the QTE. The other 2 were fucking terrible. WIll be picking up the game just for the Leon campaign and for drunken laughs at terribad stuff.

I have spent all weekend outside working on my games room.

FUCK THIS FUCKING GAMES ROOM. GOD DAMN IT IT'S NOT WORTH IT :(
STOP BEING A FUCKING BABY AND THINK HOW WORTH IT WILL BE TO PLAY ELITE AT THE END

A good 500w would be enough for the 460. 3570K would be the sweet spot for CPU, but if you're on a budget, one of the new i3s would probably be fine.

You're working on the wrong Games Room :(

No doubt.

Oh God yes. I'm going to be a fuck load more productive too...hopefully.

Yeah, took an hour this arvo to go air con shopping. Less expensive than I thought but holy crap I am very over spending money on this damn thing. It's going to need air con because old style CRT tvs and C64 disc drives heat up like a right bastard :)

You know that Minter released a shitload of stuff on iOS this year, right?

Yep. And I bought every single one of them and love them to bits. But nothing goes near the amount of time I've sunk into Train Defense.

Picked up the PSVita bundle at JBHIFI today with LittleBigPlanet, FIFA Football, 4gb Memory card, Starter Pack and also came with a SackBoy Plushie, and I also picked up New Little Kings Story along with it. Very cool.

First thing I did was log into the PS Network and download Monster Hunter Freedom Unite.

The PS Store is a little strange when browsing for games. I was browsing through the PSP list to find MHFU and it only showed MH2 Essentials under 'M'. I had to manually search for Monster Hunter to bring it up. Not sure if that applies for a bunch of other games, but it was something I noticed.

This thing is so sexy.

You can now sort games by platform!

Unfortunately, filtering by wii games also returns wiiu games because of wildcards and laziness. And some games don't have all platforms on them.

And although I haven't put menu options for all sorting options (laziness, will add them later), you can filter different platforms by replacing &platform= with, well:
Lin, Mac, 3DS, NDS, PS2, PS3, PSN, PSP, PSVita, Wii, WiiWare, WiiU, Win, X360, XBLA, iOS and Driod
 
Picked up a couple of things AusGAF might be interested in:

O1IMRm.jpg

A Biohazard 6 plastic sleeze from Kotobukiya. Looks like A4 size.

UB8bVm.jpg

An AKB48 7-11 Christmas catalogue. Has a few pages specific to AKB48 and then mostly Christmas-related items from 7-11.

If anyone from AusGAF wants either them let me know. Unlikely to keep them otherwise.

Also there's some Resident Evil anime... CG... thing on TV right now.

I wonder if Aon remembers posting...

That is libel, my good girl. I can remember very clearly posting last night.

Let me set the scene. At this party where everyone, myself included, was dressed as a Pokemon I became quite inebriated. Increasingly aware of my decreasing hesitation to participate in karaoke, I decided to take a fifteen minute purgatory of sorts, sitting up against a fence outside on the cold and wet concrete by myself. It was during this time that I posted a few times on my phone. At the time I could not decide if I was proving to myself that I could, if I put my mind to it, converse like a proper human being, or if I was the saddest person ever and felt the need to show off how inebriated and thus "normal" I might be to you cool people I know on the internet.

Depressing analysis showing a deep seated need for peer validation aside, I then went back into the party and into the bathroom, further seeking to purge myself of any drunkenness. Now at this party, there was a man dressed as Polywrath, wearing what I've been told is a "morphsuit". It was just a kind of full body and face blue coloured thing to me. The face part never came off, so this guy, walking around, kind of took on the aspect of a bizarre gimp.

This is a large bathroom with a toilet, so I am, let's say, two meters from the door. The door creeps open and I call out "The toilet is occupied". Then a blue covered arm snakes its way along the wall from the door opening. "Dude, someone's in here!" I say again. "Ok" I hear the gimp answer and the arm snaked out of the room. The door closed.

Thirty seconds later, the door opens again and the blue arm snakes its way back into the room. "Hey," the gimp calls out, "Do I have any hands?"

My natural reply is "I think the correct answer is no, you don't have any hands."

At this point the arm snakes its way back out again and I hurry the fuck up before the third stage of this boss fight began.

Now, on a more characteristic note, has any played the PS3 remake of Siren Blood Curse? I was watching a video with it just now and it seemed pretty interesting and kinda ambitious, if quite spectacularly poorly executed. The music also seemed super inventive and creepy.

Seems Play Asia is selling the game for under thirty dollars shipped, which seems like maybe not too much to waste on a game that might be cool?

So I suppose I am looking for people who have played the game to talk me out of wasting money, essentially.

Is the video that got me interested.

Now to go back to not posting in the thread,

Kind Regards,

1AM Bored Aon.

I picked it up around release for about $30 from JB, should be able to pick it up off eBay for less than that.

It is a pretty great remake of the first game, it is proper survival horror with the hook that you can see what the shibito see which allows you to freak the fuck out.
