Until it floods.
Question time would be prime time.
While we're on politics, we need an Australian Nate Silver equivelant. After reading poligaf I can't trust our polls.
Who mentioned lasagne?
Man just had some errands to run and drove around with my window down. Bad mistake, can taste the bloody smoke. Making me feel all queasy.
It smells outside what four pine beer tastes like.

What's wrong with Four Pines (besides their trying to buy votes in the Hottest 100 Craft Beer for 2012 comp)?
Haven't read any Pratchett yet, and I don't think it's needed just yet. My Mum came to visit and brought her dog with her. Just having contact with someone other than my Gran was enough to do the trick. All the dog wanted to do was chill on my lap the whole time, how can that not cheer anyone up?
Dogs are awesome.
So true. I miss not having one of my own.

Cats are like people. They can real real dicks.
Also Aliens CM looks like a Eurocom game.
Also Wasteland 2 looks like an awesome game.

Nothing wrong with it, though I've only tried one. Um, Hitlerwaffle. Er. Hefeweizen. It took me half a beer before I came to the conclusion that it tasted like a forest fire.
I'd drink it again, mind you. Just one of the more distinctive craft beers I've had in a while.
We have a pomeranian. Thing's stinky as fuck. It also sexually assaults one of our cats.

Having a poodle really has a lot of benefits. No shedding, and no bad smell. There's really something wonderful about having a little creature follow you everywhere and be adorable. I used to be terrified of dogs until we got him, but now I understand why they're so popular. It's like another family member.

I dread the day I go back to QUT because the campus is utterly dominated by those fuckers trying to sell shirts, sausages and posters. I feel like buying a Hammer and Sickle T-Shirt and wear it to Uni just to fuck with them and start arguments.

He's a little apricot one deek! -w-
yeah, I really think we lucked out in that regard. I was pretty worried about it, but the only time I can remember him biting anyone was when boyfriend tried to take away a piece of pizza he'd stolen. And he made a lot of warning growls beforehand.
I'm not sure whether to be relieved uqs not alone or disappointed that we weren't able to keep them contained to one qld uni. Orientation week is always hilarious. Last year we had one of them made an attempt to feign interest in the Japanese society in order to get us to join their club. "So you're the erm... *reading flyer* Japanese... society. How are your um.. conversation... classes going? I love going to them, so much fun last year. Um.. what do you do there again?"

Gearbox wanted to do a COD game but Pitchford likes to talk shit in interviews and said they would never do a COD game.
So they did a COD game in space. And outsourced most of the work. And didn't give 2 shits about the quality of the work.
Sounds like Nerve did a pretty good job on the MP mode though! Someone said it only has 4 maps though. And a Season Pass.
Just painful that SEGA cancelled the Obsidian Aliens RPG that was similar but was played like the recent XCOM Enemy Unknown way back in 2010. Imagine if that came out, all the XCOM fans would have been all over it like cupcakes. And it was almost finished apparently!
So yeah, good job Gearbox. 5 years for a 5 hour campaign for something that looks like it came out on the Wii by Eurocom where the Aliens have less complicated AI than even the original AvP. Especially when the title, story and setting are all ripped from the abandoned Check Six Games version in 2001.

#FreeRayman
Someone photoshop a NeoGAF logo onto this
Also change DiCaprio into Yves and Django to Rayman obviously.
OH! And Kerry Washington to Jade!
What's the gist of it... are people salty because Rayman isn't Wii U exclusive?
Edit: This post sums it up nicely. I don't think I'd knock back a bit of comic relief, so I'm-a start reading that thread and see what comes of it.

supposedly because of the delay but it reeks a little of the same kind of freak outs that Final Fantasy and Bayo got.

Ubi employees crunched to get the game done for Feb/Mar.
Ubi come out and say it is getting delayed until later in the year for concurrent release with 360/PS3.
The game is fairly close to finished on WiiU probably, maybe.
WHERE WAS THE FUCKING GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT FOR SW BATTLEFRONT 3 AND THE OBSIDIAN ALIENS RPG WHICH WERE BASICALLY FINISHED WHEN CANCELLED
AT LEAST RAYMAN LEGENDS IS STILL COMING

It's original date was feb 26 so it should have been finished up a couple of weeks ago to be able to hit that date no?

Haven't seen it yet but will at some stage. Can't break my record of having seen every Ryan Gosling film. lul
Oh, this is amazing.
That thread has non-stop pearlers in it. But that's the last it should be mentioned in this thread. Let's keep this normal, shall we?

Wait, Mario Kart WiiU and Windwaker HD WiiU are both out in September? Might be time to pickup a WiiU around then!
No idea, Ubisoft have done zero marketing for it so it would shock me that the game was shaping up to hit that date. Depends on the development approach they took, at the very least several areas are done. Not sure if it would be vertical slice design though.

No dates, WW is "fall" which would be in that range, Mario Kart is just TBA so I think it would be unlikely to be tha close but you never know.
Kinda sad to see them not give a shit about thier reputation....
Also, toy dogs are not dogs. Poodles are not dogs. Dogs must bear some resemblence to their wolfington cousins to be acceptably doggy.

Wow, talk about singling out the most insane post in order to miss the point
The most reasoned examples Ive seen are people upset about them delaying a game that is already finished just so they can make two other versions. They could have released the one thats ready now and done the other two as planned.
Imagine if GTAV is due in September, then sometime in August they announce its finished but theyre going to delay it til May 2014 so they can do a Wii U version. That's how ridiculous the delay is.
I haven't seen anyone complain about it going multiplatform - the only complaints are about it being needlessly delayed.
Anyway, Wii U is fucked. Western publishers have looked hard for their Catch 22 getout clause and are abandoning the system before its 3 months old. They coud have supported it with a few good games, fewer token ports sent to die, better PR by not announcing trilogies on other systems. They had an open window with only one first party game to compete with.
It's going to end up exactly like Wii did, only without the insane hardware sales via word of mouth.
It'd be like that if the Wii U sold games anywhere like the PS3 and 360, I suppose.
More like Witcher 2 being delayed six months and being thrown on the two consoles because PC sells like shit compared to them.
Well, thats a reality of 100 million sold consoles versus 3 million, but I will grant Witcher 3 might be an example you could relate to.

I think there is definitely some underlying "took our game" especially before the dev comments but the added shittyness of the way the delay happened sent people off the edge.
Still don't get he calling out of western pubs, the biggest Japanese 3rd party announced/released games for the system are a port of a 3ds port of a Wii game (MH3U), a multiplatform release of a 3ds port (RE:R) and a port of a Wii game (DQX), there is nothing else of note. The platinum games are Nintendo funded and published, so I dont think you can really call that support.

It should've been multiplatform from the start then, rather than being pushed from late 2012 to early 2013, and then delayed again to the end of the year to meet a multiplatform schedule. Of course a system that's been out for a quarter of a year isn't going to push software as well as a pair of systems that have been out for seven, what were they expecting?
Really they should've had it multiplatform from first announcement and aimed for about the middle of the year. The whole thing just makes them look silly.
There is a fringe element of that, of course, but most of the threads have been roughly 60% people annoyed at the delay but fine with multi, 30% people flinging shit laughing at people as if they care only about the game going multi, and 10% who do care about it going multi.
It's a PR disaster, and the real 'victims' are the people who expected to play it this month and the developers who had crunched to finish it on time for this month.
Western publishers have form based on last gen. Granted the Japanese support isn't there either, but the western publishers are the ones making excuses along the lines of "oh but we have no ideas for the gamepad".
Either way, the system is fucked.
Agreed.

Japanese pubs are making the same excuses and also made them for their Wii support (or lack thereof). I believe Konami was actually the first to offer that up.
