Ugh, it looks like the one poster completely fucking ruined it in the shortest amount of time possible. How fucking frustrating.

I heard it actually wasn't shit. I might see it over the weekend. Or Killing them Softly. Or Lawless. Or Argo. Or none of them

I had an hour of my life suddenly between classes where I suddenly plunged deep into an existential crisis about what to do and what, exactly, it was that I enjoyed about things. But actually it turned out that I had eaten something bad at lunch and had to go lie down for a while.

Seems like the figma Link figurine release date was pushed back into November. No wonder I couldn't find it anywhere.
HobbyLink are taking more pre-orders, just ordered one.

Now begins the cycle of pining over figurines that I never end up ordering, only to forget all about them in a fortnight.
To be rekindled the next time someone links to them again.

AmiAmi, who I usually buy this kind of stuff from, have orders open again too. Roughly a fiver cheaper than HLJ.

This one is "only" about $40 (not including shipping). People on eBay are Buy-It-Now-ing for $80-ish so if you're going to get it this is probably your best bet.
Until a day or two ago, HobbyLink Japan had an 'Order Stop' on it as they had filled their pre-orders. With the Samus figma figurine, I saw it a total of six times in Japan, and trust me, I looked at a LOT of places with figmas. I think they're either limited or aren't being resold.
Thanks, BoB, might change the order to AmiAmi (I had checked them the other day too). Do they offer SAL shipping I wonder?
Edit: Yes, they do offer SAL.

They do indeed offer SAL.
This delay is actually quite handy for me. Means I can combine it with an order for a game I have through AmiAmi for next month and save a bit on shipping.

It was a good dumb movie. Nice amount of violence. Probably one too many lulls in the action. I'd say the raid: redemption was better in that regard. Also coulda done with more slow motion gunfights to fix my max payne fetish.
I liked it for what it was: dumb action film. But I liked it because someone cared about making it an enjoyable dumb action film.

Yuppp, gonna combine it with my momohime figure!
Thanks for the heads up cods!
Oh and sal is incredibly slow of course, and it might be even slower since it's basically end of the year and stuff. May be worth paying a little more for the airmail/ems.

Why? So there's more shit to pay for? WiFi is fine.
So this blew up a bit. The writer has 'stood down' from writing for Eurogamer after they received threats of law suits because of content in the article and Eurogamer edited out that content.
Robert Florence is standing by his original article, clearly.
Fucking ridiculous situation.
If he was there and heard it all and there are public tweets backing up his story. Defamation is... errr... what exactly?
Legally speaking, it's anything that would lower someone's reputation in the eyes of the general public. [I assume UK law is concurrent with Au law, although I believe they still split it into slander (spoken/broadcast) and libel (written/'permanent')]. True statements can be libellous, but in a court of law they're also defensible under justification - Truth is a complete defence.
It's honestly probably better if Eurogamer folds because anybody who gives a shit will know very soon what was removed and, thanks to the magic of the internet, those comments will never go away.

The offending passages that were removed (2 journalists that tweeted and threatened Eurogamer)
To say that you cannot quote from a public tweet makes you look guilty as all fuck.
She can seriously get fucked. Another person dragging gaming journalism deeper into the festering shithole.
Bravo. Just outstanding.
Why should a journalist in gaming even give a fuck at this point? They aren't rewarded for doing the right thing, better off taking the bribes, taking the junkets, taking the pre-written previews and just accepting that bank deposit whenever it arrives. Like a fucking addict, desperate for another 300 published and paid words.

See above, she should sue herself for damaging her own reputation.
The video game media industry is seriously a parody.
I just want to play games.
Because we care ;__;

But you will only end up getting run out of the business broken hearted
Or maybe things will change soon. Maybe those with integrity and understanding of ethics will get some money behind them to break the shackles of the system. Hopefully.

The future is Polygon and their awfully designed maga-site with embedded gifs.
I would, but I'm based in Sydney now ... I haven't been back to Bris since the beginning of the year, it's kinda weird actually.
Hopefully be up there in a few months, but not around Supanova time unfortunately.
Tell me more about your stupid video game comics
Bummer! I'd say I'll catch up with you at AusPAX, but I have a feeling you're going to be busy that weekend
So I make Blow The Cartridge. You tell me an old game, I make a comic about it. The first print collection of these went on sale earlier this year, and now the second issue will be here for Supanova! It contains over 30 pages of full colour retro gaming goodness. People seem to like it, I guess?
Do it do it do it do it! It'll be fun, I tell's ya!
As I was saying on Twitter tonight not even Brendan Brewer can make fun of this stuff. It's just insane.

The video is even worse. Some painful quotes, you can just feel the barbed wire up Keighley's arsehole as he shits out another paid presentation.
Sucks since he has done great work before.

Update on my voting website thing:
You can now see individual game statistics!
I also updated the main GOTY ranking page to include various types of data representations. Though it's not very representative of anything useful because there aren't that many votes in the system yet. And like 33% of votes are by my testing accounts. >_>
