Dude, that's like a knock-off of what Codemasters did with F1 2012. It was so fucking obvious when they were averaging a patch and a half a week to fix shit that should've been fixed pre-launch. Only difference is that F1 is actually a real-world license while MoH is just an IP. An IP, it seems, they're intent on running into the ground.
Is that PC only or a console patch list too? Is that MoH a full game or just some multiplayer or FTP game?

Lay Your Ghosts To Rest is the suite that pulled me into that wide range of homages, stuff like 80's Slayer and Metallica alongside King Crimson and mixed into the newer stuff like Opeth, Djent, Mathcore, etc.
Full campaign and MP. Stuck in a bad spot as it sounds like the MP is unique enough if you fiddle with the modes but they obviously default to trying to appeal to the COD crowd with the hindrance of not being COD.
SP actually sounds like a perfect rent for the night. Like a Summer movie kind of thing. Almost the same running time too, about 4 hours by the sounds of it.
Pity since Danger Close seem like they could make a genuinely great single player FPS if they weren't forced into 2 year dev cycles of trying to take a chunk out of COD.

This is interesting in some sick way. Good, not sure. Musically, they're extremely proficient. Definite progressive rock coming through here.

Hard to fault it really. Have been playing the shit out of it lately, along with the new Danza album which is also awesomesauce.
Also you need to hit up Twitter Fapp, so I can tweet you links of this stuff to find out if I am just crazy.

Shit man sorry, I should have given you a heads up, we've been chasing fires all day at the paper. Driving into Ipswich along the Cunningham was like a wall of smoke. It was crazy.
Seems like the firies have it mostly under control. There were more than 50 units at the Redbank fires today.
This is one of the more mental photos from last night. Note the Springfield Masters in the front
They had to evacuate Staines Memorial College because of the smoke too.
Just to plug the paper I think this is the latest http://www.qt.com.au/news/centenary-highway-will-close-due-to-smoke-hazard-f/1593306/?ref=hs

Hmm. Just remembered that there are 4 Tool albums after 22 years.
Hmmpf.
Hmmpf.
Well, Opiate could be included if you want it to be. Along with salival which had a few covers, new songs and a reworking of pushit.

Man, I haven't listened to Pushit live in forever. I love that damn song.
I do still feel a bit burnt with Tool after I saw them at a BDO and then their side concert was almost exactly the same. But of a bummer. Will still buy their next album day one though
I think the night made it seem worse than it was. No houses or anything so far. Springfield is pretty scrubby (it's a weird developing city) and there is a fair bit of bushland between there and Logan.

Hey, that Grave band are pretty cool.
Also I've been to the Gold Coast. No real interest in going back at all. Pretty eh all round. Sunshine was nice, aside from the fucking humidity.
I recommend have a big glass of water and going to bed with a good book instead. You will feel much more refreshed in the morning.

Bed, is like, an hour of staring at the ceiling before my brain shuts off
when i'm staring at the ceiling, my brain's in fucking overdrive
it's the worst. it's thinking about shit i can actively suppress during the day because i have to think about other shit. When you're waiting for sleep? not so much.
God, I wish I was drunk.

I finally got sbs to work on my tv ;.; This is the happiest moment of my life. After channel surfing and seeing an ad for beauty and the geek in which one 'geek' said to another "I'm going to ctrl-alt-delete you!", I don't think I'll ever go back (not that I watched much tv in the first place, but now there's so much to watch!) Japanese and Korean news er'y day, aww yiss.
No dude, this is really interesting!! And its learning stuff. I think everyone is secretly morbidly curious about crime stuff / nuclear stuff anyway
oh, speaking of which, does anyone have any good info on the radiation situation in the fukushima prefecture? I've been short listed for a study tour there (don't know yet but fingers crossed!) but I'm kind of worried. I don't think an early death would be worth the experience really.

Chuck the earbuds in and listen to some Idle Thumbs or some other podcast.
Put on some comfortable TV show you have seen a million times.
Go for a run a few hours before you go to bed.
Drag yourself out of bed in the morning much much earlier than your body wants to, so that you will be exhausted at night.
A few of my remedies over the years before getting a full time job and being dead tired at 7pm every night.

Been playing Red Dead Redemption recently thanks to ps+, realllly enjoying it. Dat part where you first get to Mexico and you're riding in the thunderstorm was whooa
Like, you'll be staying in Fukushima? I dunnno, even if it was "safe", I wouldn't risk it. I think a significant amount of people are still not allowed back to their homes....
i still record it everyday, though I kinda just watch it for the happy news thing at the end...and the weather lol!
Listen to podcasts instead!

im posting from my nexus7 using an app called splashtop. its pretty cool. im fairly sure this was the app on reddit the other day so you can play games from anywhere in your house. i have not tried yet

You mean This giant ass hiroshima book?
crappy webcam is crappy.
Yeah, four days I think, but only into relocation areas. Its funded by the Japanese government, so I'd like to hope its safe, but its still kinda bothering me. But I won't be able to visit Japan for a while otherwise. どうすればいいかなー
Yeah, nhk usually has a lot of political stuff I don't care about, but the social issues they discuss are cool. I was watching one yesterday about how Japan is implementing an anti-suicide education program for middle schoolers called "生きるの大切さ”. I'm glad they're finally acknowledging it as an issue, at least.
Yar, there are some good ones in Japanese too~

boardgames at omis on the weekend.
ill bring the other 3/4s of the beer
Hmmm, still. Realllly tough call! I remember reading this a few days ago. It only talks about one district, but it's kinda worrying.
I will sometimes sit through the political talk if they go into super detail with their graphs, whiteboards and studio props lol. Social stuff is v interesting yeah.
Recommend some! All the popular ones on itunes are like comedy which is not really what I want.
I recommend The Lifestyle Museum. It's like weekly short interviews with people in music/art/design etc. Short-ish and sweet! And there's a huuuuuuge backlog of stuff to listen to!
Xcom via Splashtop is very much a 'any port in a storm' solution. Then again your mileage may vary since I use it on my OG iPad and it should work better using a new iPad.
And God DAMN the new Giana Sisters is European. It's just DRIPPING with it's Europeaness. Yes I just made a new word.
Really liking it so far.

Yeah :s but after googling it, it seems that living there for a year is the equivalent radiation of three cat scans. Eating the food is probably an issue though.
I sometimes listen to 池袋なう, which is cool. Sometimes there are big chunks I don't understand, but its still nice to listen to anyway
EDIT: I'll download some episodes of the one you mentioned ^^
I went to sleep. Read two books, listened to some Thumbs, turned it off and tried to sleep. It didn't work. I feel terrible. I feel terrible for feeling terrible and bitching about it, too. So there's that. Fuck this shit.
I'm going to go play videogames until my fucking brain explodes.

The new iMac should be fun to pull apart. In reality it probably hasn't changed at all, a few screens and pop off the screen. Ta-da!
The iPad mini looks rather bad. Way too expensive, the nexus 7 has more PPI than the mini, I thought apple loved that shit?
iPad 4.. Didn't we get the iPad 3 like 6 months ago? Man that's a quick upgrade, Unless my mind is playing tricks on me. Apple usually don't go that fast with upgrades, it's always been yearly. I have to wonder what made them jump ahead and throw out a new one.
Glad I got the air over the retina 13". That's a little too pricey for me and there hasn't been a single moment when i've thought, I really wish I had a retina display.

Shan, you'd probably be exposed to more radiation on the flight there and back. I heard there was a food festival recently with heaps of food from Fukushima declaring it was all safe to eat.
If it's only for a few days I don't see the harm, but I also eat stick meat in foreign countries after saying "what's the worst that could happen?" (for reference: the worst was pretty damn bad).

Another reminder to SydGAF people, let us know if you can make the meetups. All three have enough people interested so that they will all go ahead. The only venue request we have so far is "SOMEWHERE WITH LOTS OF ALCOHOL" so that'll be fun .

You don't turn off the podcast!
Seriously, it has been a long time coming before someone OS criticised Abbott's boat policy.

Yeah it's got a long way to go before Logan.
The Gold Coast is great if you like the beach (surfing ) etc. if not its very average.
Well, I went to sleep around 4am or so I guess and I think I hit that weird zone where you've got just enough sleep to still be active but not enough sleep to be entirely there. I feel like I'm lightly tethered to my body, but I'm not actually feeling all that tired in my brain... just in my limbs.

Not truly tired until you feel the floor swaying under your feet while you stand.
But seriously, look up some meditation techniques, get a white noise machine and make sure you just use your bedroom for sleeping.

Agreed. I really should go back and do the flagpoles. Played about an hour of nsmb2 And haven't played it since.
Oh guys, re: Video Ezy online:
Also, note the Melbourne-based fax number. Indicates that even though they're *owned* by the company that owns WowHD etc., at least their office is based here. So I'd say it's damn likely that everything is probably local and gets shipped from here, too. But we won't know until our orders come in.
Nope, the event company behind PAX is called ReedPOP - they run NY Comic Con, Star Wars Celebration, PAX East / Prime, and now PAX Aus!
There is a local team, with myself representing a lot of the local Aussie show content.
Damn ... if we can't demo that game, we're REALLY screwed.
I'm going because I get to hang out with people I haven't seen in ages and meet new friends. Whatever's in the show is immaterial
THIS. Seriously, this is the attitude I love, and what makes the PAX shows in the States really work. I want more of this. You guys bring the community and the social, we'll make sure the show is amazing and accomodates that.

I'm a tad surprised they updated the new iPad so soon.
If there email response time is anything to go by they should be good. I got a reply to my shipping question in a little over 2 hours.

Why is the mini so damn expensive? If you buy that over the Nexus you're paying extra money simply for the name. And already announcing 4? What the shit Apple?
Edit:
Can AusGAF have a booth?
Ugh, worst feeling! You should probably fix this soon, what with exams coming up n stuff:/
Can't believe they're pushing it as the 4th gen iPad, what will come of it come March next year? :S So much disgust and so much confusion if I should pick one up now, or wait it out again... 6mth refresh time... bah!
