Amazon prices of the biggest memory card started coming down recently.
Buy a dev kit unit!Rad. I might just download Lumines on the PS3 because I already have the cart for it (I don't think it's ever leaving the Vita) but it'd be handy to have. I just wish we could play Vita games on the PS3, I needs my big-screen Lumines fix

Oh sweet, a trading halt has been placed on the company I work for. That can only mean good news. The print industry has been going from strength to strength lately too.
Is Hyper looking for Brisbane based writers Jint?

Nintendo Direct doesn't mean much when Nintendo only sold 55k consoles in the US in all of January...
;_; ran out of painkillers on wed night for my wrist. Had been working all week too. Fucking hit me like a freight train when I woke up yesterday. Been coming to woerk to try and do shirt but my heads all over the place. Got more painkillers now hopefully will be okidoki

As was said in one of those other threads, momentum willl likely steadily build untill the orgasmic pressure is released with Pokemon X + Y, showering the nation in a rainbow of multi-hued 3DS's.
What does 3DS have to do with Wii U? The release schedule for the foreseeable future is pathetic and if Sony (and MS) come out strong with impressive new hardware and a tonne of PS4/720 games and exclusives then Nintendo will be in real trouble with the Wii U.
EDIT: I just realised that my previous post didn't specify that the 55k was Wii U sales for Jan in the US. 3DS sales are not going to save their flagship console.

That doesn't help the Wii U though.

Cheers due.
I'm not tieing the noose yet though, but talk is the Irish company that owns APN wants to ditch the CEO after less than awesome profits in the past few years.
Hopefully whoever they bring in is full of great ideas and doesn't just want to slash and burn. They'll probably slash and burn though

Yeah, Sorry, thought you were referring to the handheld.
I believe the Wii U will turn around in much the same way as the 3DS has. Its a bloody shame they squandered their head start, though.
True. But money in the bank is mo money for mo Mario. Having said that - next Gen Mario had better flip wigs off!
3DS is looking good, some great games for this year alongside some nice DLC stuff and eShop exclusives.
Makes it tempting to pick up a 3DS XL at some point...

One of the first things the Newman government did when coming into office was to cut things like coffee and biscuits in government offices. The net effect is a massive loss of morale and productivity with the upside of saving a miniscule sliver of a percent of the budget.
To out it another way, the fancy beans coffee budget, implemented over all NBN sites across the nation, would pay the annual salary of one extra engineering contractor, two FO splicers or three senior admin staff. Switching to Nescafé Food Service Blend (yes, that's a thing) because you still want to supply coffee, might get you slightly less.
On a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars*, that's a laughable amount.
* Too lazy to look up the real number
How's your other wrist? All good or do you need a volunteer Ausgaffer to come around and hold your dick while you piss?
These old games are weird. Can't get a grasp on the pacing very well anymore.
Like, it used to feel like when I got to a new town there'd definitely be some big story thing going on or whatever that felt like an 'event'. I looked at an FAQ and apparently I blitzed through a few events without really realising they were meant to be major story beats.
I also find it kind of amusing how you pick up party members in this game. Cait basically forced himself into the party and nobody batted an eye, lol. At least Yuffie needed work, even if there's no real way in-game to tell what answers she wants.

Well that sucks man.
Which is ridiculous considering the number of the (now pretty much all gone bust) companies that were going in Brissie.

I wonder how indicitive of the general population that is?
Not that it really means anything if either Microsoft or Sony can get their marketing going (not that either of them have recently with the Vita or Surface), I mean if Apple can convince people to buy a new iPhone every year, buying a new console once every half decade shouldn't be a problem. Right? Right?

Wow, they're pretty good deals. Shame that:
a) I really only want Skyrim on PC. Hi cods!
b) I already have Forza 4
c) Have no interest in Fable 3 (Hi Kritz!) nor Reach (already have it).
Can never have too many 360 controllers. Unless the Nextbox has been released and you can't use any of them.

I'm starting to think I'll never get my licence ;.; Everything is fine until the moment the examiner gets in, and then I lose it completely. I start shaking so much a can't talk or keep my feet on the pedals. The guy was really nice this time too, but I just couldn't stop. I didn't even make it out of the carpark. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Its $150 each time I do it too.
At least Ni no kuni had arrived when I got home :3
Its really easy First you make up a sauce with: 2 tbsp sugar, 2 tsp minced garlic, 1 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp tomato sauce, and 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce. You dice an onion and fry it up with about a fist sized bit of mince. Then you add the sauce and simmer it for 5 minutes. While that's happening you boil and mash 4 potatoes. Then mix the mash with the mince. Make them into little balls, dip them in flour, egg and breadcrumbs, and deep (or shallow) fry it
It tastes great with mayo and okonomi sauce!

I was about to remind you that you are arguing on the internet, but then again we are on an internet gaming forum. Carry on.
Nah, just off to the side while you do an obstacle course.
He may not be versed in the details of the industry but he has a point. New games still coming out, they still look good. If you distill his argument down to the core point, he is basically claiming diminishing returns.
I'm inclined to agree.

Don't sweat it - lots of people fail the test. A friend of mine failed the test eight separate times and I failed it once when I got to a weird intersection and drove for about 20m in the oncoming lane.
That was nearly 10 years ago now.
This is the issue in a nutshell. To the average joe, dynamic lighting, tesselation, compute shaders and the rest are meaningless buzzwords that have at best a marginal effect on the games they play. You know all those people who have their PS3s and 360s hooked up with composite cables? They just want to game man.

haha, thanks >< I guess it will make a funny story. I've failed twice now and I only made it out of the car park once
It would be funny if they had to attach a little side car.

Got it on my second time. I actually almost passed the first, but I was doing 50 in a 40 zone during school hours - auto fail. I was so nervous the first time as well. Second time I was still salty from my failure, so I wasn't nervous and just got in the car and got it done. Most of the instructors actually do want to pass you (although you do get some massive knobs). You'll be right, everyone gets there. A guy I went to high school with took over 20 tries!

If Call of Duty is still being released he doesn't give a shit about moving to next gen and will justify it anyway he can.
Motorcycle P test is very strict, for obvious reasons. The ride is easy as long as you don't make obvious mistakes. The obstacle course is a different beast altogether, screw it up just a little bit and you're done; it fails a lot of people.
I was one of only two people in my entire group to pass. The other guy was on a scooter which shouldn't count because they're ridiculously easy to navigate.

I like how you are trying not to infer some pejorative is hidden in that sentence
I failed my driving test tooooons of times. Turns out learning how to drive by playing Ridge Racer and Daytona USA every day leads to bad driving habits. WHO KNEW?
I'm pretty sure I only eventually passed because on my last try it was pissing down rain and the instructor just wanted it over with. I think I ended up just doing a reverse park and that was it. YAY QLD.
New topic! Office music playlists. Does your office have a radio / MP3 player that everyone listens to during the day? Do you mess with it? Do you add stuff to it?
