Exactly. He's got major problems. I can count the number of people who don't want to see giant robots fight giant aliens on one hand. One finger actually. Him.

Looks like Micky Arthur, Aus cricket coach, has been sacked! Yeah, the ashes are going to go real well for us.
Linky
Boof might be on his way.
It has to be Boof. Performed miracles in Queensland, and hell it could mean we see some Bulls actually named to the team! Wouldn't that be a shock.

It was pretty good. No where near as good as the book, a lot of differences. That didn't worry me much though, the book would be nigh on impossible to film. Gbe opening 30 minutes is brilliant zombie tension. And the epic zombie scenes are pretty cool. Nit as big a part of the movie as the trailers made it look. I enjoyed it though.

About fucking time.
I just finished reading Let the Right One In this morning. Those minor frustrations I had early on in the book with the conversations were worth pushing through, it really paid off.
I've read some great vampire stories (not a spoiler, it's in the blurb) in the past, but I think this one nailed just about every aspect of it. While some writers have pushed for the horror aspect and others have relied on the romance and love to tell their story, this one has struck the perfect balance. The people who enjoyed Twilight still won't like it, because the romantic aspect just isn't in that vein, but what is there is just wonderful. There's a lot to like about this novel.

JAMBOPATENTEDBURNSAUCE.GIFAnd your swannies avatar was already looking so horrible after the weekend =P
They said that about LotR!
All they need is Neill Blomkamp and huge budget on HBO.
You need to watch the movie. YOU NEED TO .
Everything needs Neill Blomkamp and a huge budget. Everything.
I have it and the Americanised version (Let Me In) ready to go. Was just finishing lunch and am about to fire up the Swedish version in the next few minutes.

The new light theme + the fixer = I really really like the new theme. I feel like we have an identity now and aren't just a rehash of a vBulletin theme.

Next gen is going to look and run amazing
Both are pretty amazing, one of the few American remakes that are worth watching!
Yeah happy with it now.
On the work PC and I don't have the fix extension installed so it looks pretty shit, have to run Dark Theme so I can actually read the fecking text. Will have to find the extension again.

A WWZ HBO show/mini-series could be incredible. An episode on each of the characters in the book? Potentially awesome. And an answer to Walking Dead.
Off topic of normal AusGAF discussions, video games. Where should I preorder PS4/X1 from? Should I preorder? I probably shouldn't should i?
I suggest just getting a Personal Computer.

There are new games you know =P
I've heard that, looking forward to it. Done with some distractions, I'll sit down to watch it now.
FX are making a series based on The Strain novel trilogy created by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I've only read the first novel, but I quite liked it. It's about vampires instead of zombies, but at least they're the violent as hell kind and not cuddly or sexy in the slightest. It is Guillermo del Toro after all.
John Hurt is confirmed to be in it. That alone is excellent news.

Just read the wikipedia plot intro. Sounds awesome. I'm on board FX
they never sent me that kirby wallet, stars fraud yo
While we're on the subject here's a Google Doc showing what points you get for what games. I'm saving up to get Game And Watch Collection 2.
I bought Art Academy DS for $4 from Target yesterday and got 150 points, nice.

Saw that at EB the other day for $14 or something, preowned but looked almost mint.

Guys, it's official. I've found the best wikipedia page of all time.
That's a good one. I quite like this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_with_fraudulent_diplomas
Was free on AU PS+ earlier this year and is free on US PS+ this month.
I know you're talking about the 3DS version but I DON'T CARE.
I wish the same thing too! I would totally own a 3DS right now if there was such a service. Stuff paying $70 for portable games.
What's even better, is that it was last updated 16th of May this year. WTF.

Sonic Generations steamkey for $7.50, DLC is 39c
Can you wait a few weeks after launch or until the first price drop?
Can you wait until you can list 10 games that you NEED to play that you can't get on your other consoles/devices?
I won't be pre-ordering despite my desperation for shiny new thing
Fucking work. Gives me all this disposable income but fuck it. I should be allowed to sit at home all day eating Chinese takeout and playing DOTA!
Hurry up and buy a Vita then stupid head, Hotline Miami is out this week!
Do you need to have one during launch week? Probably yes to pre-order.

That would be too popular and would cost them money unlike the current scheme which costs fuck all to them.
I know a lot of people who were huge PC gamers back in the day but once they get a desk job they can't stand looking at a monitor once they get home from work. I went through a similar phase and tbh it still leads to me spending the vast majority of my time gaming on a 360 rather than my very capable PC.

First Archer, now this awesome sounding show? I love FX! Especially if they show re-runs of that old 90's TV show FX which was about people in the FX industry solving crimes or some shit. That was awesome.
Colby Nolan story has always been awesome and depressing at the same time. You just know those fucks are out there still scamming people.

Waiting for the Fairy Solitaire port (plus I reckon my wife would kill me dead).
Sold! Is this game any good? Yeah I buy games before I know whether they're any good, wanna fight about it?
I kinda have to agree with this, but rather than subject myself to consoles, I use Steam Big Picture mode pretty much exclusively. I get the 'comfy couch' experience with none of the negatives of console gaming and all of the positives of PC gaming. #sogood
vlr is like a sequel though, so maybe get 999 first (ds game) in case you end up liking the series. might be able to get it for less than 22 bucks too.
also i woudl say that it's not very anime-y, but it's text heavy..being a visual novel game and all.

Actually wait until this is out for the PS4 at the start of next year
HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Sonic Colours was awesome too. Looking forward to the WiiU exclusive one! Gives me something to fucking play on the WiiU! lol
HNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Heh, wouldn't be surprised if Sony have asked them to do a port the rate they have been going.
Yeah I loved it. Best of the new Sonic stuff as well as some fun throwback gameplay with the classic levels, they did a great job with it.

Seems a bit harder to find. Does VLR assume a lot of 999 knowledge?
