Nah, it is a bit of a slog through the first couple chapters. I had to read them about three times before I could keep track. Then once I was about halfway through I had to go back and read the start again.

As a Queenslander, I am flabbergasted. This is government stupidity at its very worst. Game stores near the Tweed must be grinning from ear to ear.

I guess they were too busy firing thousands of government workers. Bloody Queensland.
Thanks! I'm pretty aware that Townsville isn't a huge city or anything, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to experience somewhere at least somewhat different from the United States. I'm bringing a decent amount of money for travelling, as it seems Cairns and the like are pretty far away from where I'll be staying.

If you're thinking of travelling, come down to one of the bigger cities for a visit! The atmosphere in Melbourne or Sydney is quite different from anywhere in Queensland imo, and coming down to Brisbane/Gold Coast is pretty cheap.
I've never actually been to Townsville, but the barrier reef is gorgeous and the weather is nice so I'm sure you'll have a great time

I certainly plan to! I'm very excited to check out the great barrier reef. A friend and I are planning to backpack through New Zealand during our spring break, but I'm unsure we'll be able to do that cheaply enough.
Not that it addresses the fact at all, but I'd be more than happy to post stuff up there if you're desperate
It is very dense though... I know I struggled through Quicksilver quite a lot to the point I didn't pick up the remaining 2 books. And I love the hell outta Cryptonomicon... as you were saying, probably one of my top 3 books.
Edit: Hey, hey, I have just the footage for Wasteland 2, I am excited.

Campbell Newman tackling the big issues again.
And Manly and Cronulla apparently. But they haven't admitted to it. Sucks for those four you mentioned though because they're in pretty small/struggling markets.
The last thing the Raiders or Knights needed was a controversy to go with their lack of money. I mean if it was team orchestrated it's their own fault, but I get the feeling Essendon might have been the most systematic.

Least Melbourne didn't have to drug their guys to win premierships.
Wouldn't be surprised if they did

As much as people want to know I'd imagine releasing names could be a massive defamation risk if there was something wrong.

The A: CM UI is fucking disgusting. Looks to be of the same quality as the one from the PSOne Aliens Resurrection game.
PC version is lolworthy. Very disappointing that they removed a lot of features that were in the previews just to get the game out.

Not one Rumour tag either :/

YES YES YES!

Fuck yes!
Maybe it's a The Cave-type deal and Remo is joining him!
Wait... the DDL one or the retail one? Either way it's pretty bad, but if it's the retail release... holy fucking fuck.

Looking like I may not even be in the country during PAXAus. A pity, but I'll be holidaying, so I won't be too upset over the whole thing.
Yup, that's Kotaku.
That's the same image edge used for their ps3 unveiling issue in 2006

These next gen rumours are interesting but holy shit GAF's reactions are getting ridiculous. Here's a hint, things won't be as bad as you fear nor as awesome as you hope
Things will be potentially as bad as you fear but not as awesome as you hope.
That's nextgen.
Generally, the doom and gloom scenarios are:
Wii U: no games, cancelled projects everywhere
Durango: No second hand, always online, transition to unified Windows platform, Kinect
Orbis: 240fps. Sony bankrupt. Only 4x PS3.
I think they're all going to be various levels of fucked, but either option will be fine even in a worst case (non Dreamcast) scenario.

I have no fucking idea how Sony have been able to come through the next gen rumours faultless.
They have 8 days left.

Sony was the first to be rumoured to have anti used games but i think that was based of an old patent and it was definitely long before all the major leaks and rumours.

Each generation, internet gamers increase the intensity of their predictions, only to guarantee that they'll be more and more disappointed when every feature they've invented in their heads isn't included in the console they decide to back. It's mental. It's like a 12 month cycle of prep work for telling everyone how shitty their new favourite thing is.
PC: Still a PC.
So, still a PC.
It's still the same platform though =P
Huh, so it is possible for your virginity to grow back.
Debatable. Origin and Steam are different platforms and different experiences.
I'm still just running exes, albeit through different interfaces.
Same with consoles.
Ok, play this PS2 disc in your PS3.
Play this 16bit application on your 64bit OS.
I think the threshold for what is deemed success or failure is incredibly tenuous. Wii U is apparently in trouble, yet its outpacing the sales of PS3/360 at the same point in their life cycle. Obviously there is more to it than that, but what was once acceptable is now doomed.
I think anyone expecting PS4/XB3 to go nuts out of the gate has a fair chance of having their hopes and dreams crushed.
In the end it comes down to the games and how much you enjoy them. I know, personally, even if Wii U becomes a Gamecube style library, it will still be more than enough for me with ever decreasing amounts of spare time.
Well, I suppose there is that inevitable changing of the guard every 12-18 months where and ATI/NVidia or Intel/AMD combination is the best bet. You don't have to upgrade (same with consoles) but you still have a platform choice to make. And deal with inevitable driver conflicts down the line.
Some of us can.
