Strangely enough my other hobby (Music) has been winning out over Games for the last month or so! Fucking awesome year for both really.

i hate when that happens.
for what, vlr? It's 'save in a certain area in the game and it'll corrupt your one and only save file' bad.
they also sell refused classification games. Go check it out, you can buy syndicate there

Ontopic: Dishonored is good. But a lot of people are saying that, so I'm not being overly original, here.

I will put my head in the noose and say that after the first 5 hours Dishonored is largely a disappointment.
Good game there but feels oddly one note despite the big range of options.
Looking back on my time with the Thief games it was a complaint I would level at them now too if they arrived in this day and age.
Dishonored is largely a spiritual sequel to Thief in my mind at this point.
Not even sure if I will finish it.
Even OzGameShop stopped doing that a few months ago to avoid any possible issues if a customer gets it confiscated.

Well, it's only if you save in one particular room that you'd be fucked - not to mention you only have one save file on the 3DS version, so...yeah. People have been reporting that the game also crashes at seemingly random points too, which doesn't help either.
the major difference is rep that gamelane is in sydney and is not shipping from O/S
they import the RC stock themselves

If their offices were searched by authorities (lol) what kind of trouble would they be in since they have them in order to sell onto Australian consumers, especially if they have a large number of them?
$100,000+ fine, possible jail time
just as an fyi as a consumer its not illegal to buy RC from them. There is a loophole
The reason RC games are banned in Australia is under the customs act. So you as an individual bringing the RC game over the border are breaking that act
past the border, aside from WA, you have not broken a law.

Seems like a huge risk when they won't make that kind of profit just from the RC titles.

It was really disappointing until finishing the first proper mission about 5 hours in. Clicked after that.
The more I read about people's dishonored impressions the more and more glad I am to have played that game without being faithful towards non-lethality, or stealth, or combat. Instead I did a bit of everything. I went through the first level murdering prison guards, I took the stealth route while killing/evading for necessity early on, I refined myself for a level or two without being spotted or killing anyone, and after a certain point in the game I took full advantage of my powers and abilities and went chaotic evil on that game's ass.
And I really, really enjoyed playing lethal. It amounted to what was essentially easy-mode crysis, but it was still a lot of fun to be a walking demigod of destruction having absolutely no mercy on the plot npcs you were tasked to deal with.
The highlight was chasing down a guy for two levels, having a massive fight with him, and finally once I'd won the game went into a 5 second non-interactive cutscene where the character yelled out, "wait, let me make you a dea-". And then I shoved a knife into his head and threw him off the side of a building.
I liked Dishonored. I didn't see what people saw in that game pre-release, and I had no expectations going in. It being a power fantasy didn't bother me in the slightest, neither did the simplistic underdeveloped storyline.
Game's totally worth a 4/5 in my book.

Hmm. Yeah, thinking now that trying to be stealthy made it boring for me. That point in the game highlighted in the Youtube clip is basically when I switched off and it became a mechanical series of tasks for me.
Might jump back in and go chaotic and just enjoy the show, Infamous style.
Thanks Kritz!

Damn straight it was, mister.
I usually go stealth because I'm a slow, patient muthafucka that will sit there and watch 2 minute loop paths in order to get my sneak on.
I try to play most of these games non-lethal but that sometimes falls to pieces when a section will try my patience and then I'll get a little bit shooty. I'm hoping that I can stay non-lethal for this run through.
I'm also looking forward to playing it a second time so that I can pretend to be a Matrix inspired time bending mofo killing death merchant.

I know they do for a fact and have been for a long time. It's sickening.
relevant, nsfw, animated willies.
I also watched lock stock two smoking barrels tonight, fantastic movie. Was a mix of Italian job, boondocks saints and resivour dogs, thoroughly enjoyable though slightly nonsensical film.

I'm tempted to jump into that Facebook election meltdown thread and say something like "See how racist some people can be? Now, when something incredibly racist happens in Australia, don't tar us all with the same fucking brush". Really fucking tempted.
And then maybe call Americans "cunts" or something. But I'm less likely to drop that one

Oh Christ 6 hours to go so much to sort out yiiiiiiikes oh man do I need a haircut.

If the milk turns out to be sour, I ain't the kinda pussy to drink it.
If you haven't seen Snatch, I recommend you watch it next.
Why not just back up your save files to the cloud? You can always redownload everything else later.
GTA V is going to have 3 protagonists, is bigger in size than GTA 4, San Andreas AND Red Dead Redemption combined!! Squee!! I squee'd!!

I need a new one anyway, I've been scraping along with about 1GB free for way too long. There've been too many things I've avoided downloading and playing because of it.
And holy shit that's cool. I still kind of wish they went somewhere other than LA.

Little Creatures have been totally bought out by Lion Nathan, and their quality has been mostly just coasting along on their previous laurels (except for a few seasonals, some of which aren't bad). Despite that, I have to give them credit for being the guys that really made me realise beer didn't taste like arse.
If you're going to get a big brand pilsner, try Staropramen or Pilsner Urquell, both of which are actually made in Pilsen, so are true pilsners (assuming they're not brewed locally, which I haven't heard but is always a possibility).
Give Sierra Nevada Pale Ale a shot if you're after a pale. The Sierra Nevada is an American style pale so adjusted to their tastes versus a British style one but it's pretty easy to drink.

Little Creatures Pale Ale is awesome. It's just standard pale ale, doesn't do anything different, but it's nice.
I love some Little Creatures Pale Ale, although it's been a while since my last one. Had one of their Pilseners last week though, which was very good. Hopefully I'll get to try some more come Sunday...

Hard to go wrong with Feral Hop Hog (though an IPA, not pale ale if that's specifically what you're after). Yo-Ho Yona Yona (only in cans!) if you can find it is pretty good as well, though I think only specialty stores would have it. Or you could go the other way and try Black Sheep Pale Ale, which is ultra-British but also very nice.
Hard to go wrong with the Little Creatures Pale Ale, I just find it a bit dull nowadays -- definitely drinkable though.
I'm brewing a Cream Ale tomorrow!

Summer's the best time for cider! The Flying Brick Draught Cider I had once last year and haven't seen anywhere since is starting to take on mythical levels in my mind about how good it was.

I recently picked up a Coronado Orange Avenue Wit which isn't too bad, easy to drink.
Some have the Sierra Nevada Hoptimum 2012 which I found really good, but if you can't find that the Sierra Nevada Southern Harvest isn't too bad either (but I prefer the Hoptimum).
The Gage Roads Pumpkin Ale isn't for everyone, and is a nice diversion, though I'm not rushing back to get it. If you don't like pumpkin pie (I do), skip it.
Doss Blockos Pale Lager is as generic a lager as ever existed, but easy to chug if that's what you're after. Plus it comes in a paper bag which is fun.
Feral White is a reasonable white ale.
Given the recent weather has been improving, a wheat beer or wit beer is probably a good choice too. The Sierra Nevada Kellerweis, White Rabbit White Ale and Weihenstephaner Hefe are all good choices. I prefer the latter but all are good.
All of these are available at Dan Murphy's in my area.

I dunno if this has been talked about yet but what's everyones thoughts on Bond drinking Heineken instead of scotch, whiskey, and women in the next movie?

Pretty sure he drunk martinis and he still bangs like crazy. I don't really care to tell the truth. Bond has always been about product placement.
Also, World War Z looks incredibly amazingly mindblowing.
