So, third person shooter, Spec Ops or GR:FS?

I didn't play Spec Ops, but Ghost Recon:FS was a fun game. Story was the usual sort of thing with a lame attempt at some depth to the characters. Didn't try multi, though.
Played on PC after a steam sale but it had been patched. only thing I disliked was no invert option if you use a controller.

The End...

It is with our regret to announce that NZBMATRIX has closed.

We have had to make this decision due to a very large takedown request from a company called Wiggin LLC. These represent the following: Federation Against Copyright Theft Limited ("FACT"), Paramount Home Entertainment International Limited; Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Limited; The Walt Disney Company Limited; Twentieth Century Fox Film Company Limited; Universal Pictures (UK) Limited; Warner Bros. Entertainment UK Limited.

As everyone is aware we are DMCA/Takedown notice compliant, and always have been.
Once this notice is completed we are left with an impossible task of policing our indexing bots. Even then it won't stop there, there will be follow-up notices etc.

Coupled with this is problems with payment providers, we have been through pretty much everyone out there, in the end they all pull out.
There are massive server/bandwidth costs to pay, with the payments in-stability this is a very hard task.

NZBMATRIX has never been the subject of any legal issues or threats.

Also the Usenet Indexing scene is going through some changes, with content being removed from pretty much every provider its making the existence of an indexer irrelevant if the content does not even exists anymore.

So it's time for us to bow out...

I love that acronym "fact".

Maybe there should be a federation for timely releases of popular television content in Australia since we are sick of waiting two years you clueless wankers.

I would name it FTROPTCIA for short.

Really liking Nokia's free music service on the Lumia 920. I pick my playlists, say today the 80's and I can download the whole thing to my phone free of charge and play it back (or stream), with no ads. Better yet, I can hit the refresh button and it will automatically download new songs, as the playlists are created by people (rather than pseudo random computer attempts) it always has a great selection. :D

Other problem is that the don't bother fast tracking stuff until people have already downloaded the first two seasons.

Even when they do fast track it's at least a week, usually more, after the show has aired in the US/UK. People aren't willing to wait that amount of time when they can download it a couple of hours after it finished.

Its amazing to think ABC are far better than any other network in Australia for quick support. Granted, they don't have as many series running but their big one - Dr Who - is shown within a day of the UK broadcast now.

Meanwhile the only studio approved way to see series 2 of Game of Thrones in Australia is to wait for the disc release in March next year.

Probably was $15 or $20 then, I remember thinking it wasn't too bad of a cost considering I couldn't trial them while still being annoyed that I had to hand over some kind of money.

If my damn .rar files wouldn't corrupt on download I wouldn't even need Usenet! :(

If it isn't too much of a hassle to grab and post over that would be awesome! Shaneus & I can flip a virtual coin for it!

Cue: Downton Abbey.
Channel Seven.
Season 3 which has already finished airing overseas.
Dubstep trailer on at prime time.
Final seconds shows....
2013

You fucking morons. It is like you don't want the viewers. Ask Facebook to let you know the reaction when the ads run of women 18-55. You clods.

My favourite was when Ten "fast-tracked" the premiere of the new season of Homeland by putting the first half of the episode up on their website. As if people would watch that, and then tune in when it aired on TV to watch the rest, instead of just downloading the full episode from somewhere. Fuckwits.

I was conditioned in the late 90s to never expect anything decent from commercial tv with respect to regular or quality scheduling. As a stargate fan, it was impossible to follow a season when they moved timeslots or days every few weeks, then skipped entire seasons.

I just gave up and bought the dvds from the uk.

The radio towers in Far Cry 3 must be powered by AAA batteries. Seriously why would an island that small need nearly 20 radio towers?

It's because the ABC doesn't need to worry about ratings. So it can put its biggest show online, take the hit on the premiere, and not have advertisers screaming bloody murder.

I mean about Game of Thrones specifically. I agree with you that the free to air networks are incompetent.

But I'm pretty sure Showcase on Foxtel aired Game of Thrones season 2 the same week as HBO did in America.

Foxtel have been great getting US shows on our shores really quickly.

There was a recent article that said the response to "Direct from the US" stuff has been really well received, so expect more of it.

The dark days never ended. Atlantis got fucked just the same, and SG:Universe (a brilliant series imo) got killed by scifi network. If ever a series of stargate was a metaphor for the war on science, that would be it.

I was talking more generally than GOT. That is just one example.
