I suppose it didn't properly come about until the early 90s.
Still a long time though.

Off to Nice today. Of course the French Riviera decides to rain when we visit...
I first read that as ROTT (Rise of the Triad) and wondered if you were talking about the old one or of the new one was already out.
Will it blend?
sounds Good.
Nice. Sounds nice.

Yeah it went up recently. For The Age too. You can read 30 articles for free a month!
I can't recall which news sites don't have paywalls yet. The Oz has has had one for a fair while. news.com.au doesn't have one lololol
What are you talking about again?

Totally forgot about the proprietary memory cards. Guess I'lll hold off till a cheaper standalone deal is available to cover the absurd memory card prices
Pretty sure it'll score me free drinks from others out of sympathy for picking up a dead platform.
let us all cast our memories back 2 years to when I first moved to Melbourne and actually thought I had a chance at helping you heathens.
I have since realised I do not, and you people are weird.

Just picked up an S60 from The Good Guys, $1450 delivered, great price for a 60" gaming TV
Suspected as much, I would be happy to pay for news if most of it wasn't just garbage or sensationalism.
True fact Kritz, my telstra tech whom was in the office the other day told me about their user evaluation scale.
Telstra use a system wehre by if the feedback they get on a tech is an 8/10 they ignore it as not good enough
they see 1-6 as a fail, 7-8 as average. only 9's and 10's are "good"

Also Schnitz was awesome. Tasted fantastic. No more expensive than the rest of the shit in the CBD. Best chips I've eaten in Melbourne easily.

I got a few pity drinks out of the father-in-law but that wasn't because it was a WiiU. Vook hasn't sent me shit in the way of alcohol to cope with the thing.

Online is region free, you just have to activate the online pass on the same region psn store as the disc. There are no restrictions to online play based on region.
As for power supply, both ps3 and ps4 have universal so you don't need a step down transformer.
Thursday night sounds good, I'll be in flemington attending the PAX meet and greet so very convenient. Can't say about other days until I get my event schedule.

thats pretty much what i said.
chips were great
price was fucking expensive (like every schnitzel in melb
)but it did not taste like anything other than a frozen out of the box schnitzel.
So I guess TLOU is $90 at actual retail stores.
I was planning to impulse buy it (well insofar as anyone can plan to impulse buy anything) but yeah no
My friend said it was like $60 or Play asia or something but that sounds like effort and frankly i'm perfectly happy playing what I'm playing right now and don't really care too much about getting into the zeitgeist right now so I guess I'll wait for a sale?

Nice. I'm slightly jealous.
thats why i came ito steam/irc the other day as hammycheck, i wanted to ask if you bought project x
i downloaded the demo but didnt recognise anyone but ken and ryu and got sad.
seems good though, tossing up on that or mario+ luigi when it comes out
So, who here wants to tell me how warranties with MSY work? Came home tonight to find that my pc wouldn't power on, and after much diagnosing have found the motherboard to be the issue (not powering up at all, PSU powers up fine). It's about 18 months since I bought it, yes I have the receipt.
Can I take it to another MSY, or does it need to go to the one I bought it from? (Geelong MSY no longer open on weekends, ffs) Do I bring the board in it's original box and no cables, or will an anti-static bag be sufficient?
Can I get a replacement board that's similar (I've checked, they have a slightly updated one in stock for around the same price I originally paid) or do I have to wait without use of my PC for RMA?
Fuck, really wish I didn't have to worry about this right now :/

Capcpom and Namco's lineups in Project X Zone are pretty good, it's just Sega who went JP onry with their stuff except for the Virtua Fighter pair and HOLY SHIT ULALA AND BRUCE WILLIS GAME OF THE CENTURY
I'm definitely getting it day one, but probably not locally. I'm not in enough of a rush to play it that I'd prefer the twenty extra bucks it would cost me compared to the week wait.

fantastic except for the bits where they couldn't secure licencing rights for some vocal songs so they replaced them

Nice decided to be 30c and not rain. Sweet. We're going to Monaco/Monte Carlo for the morning tomorrow.
Steam sale started yet?
I need beer. The best place I found here was closed after we walked all the way there.
Shaneus, call the store. I've had wildly different experiences at PC stores and even at the same MSY. In the past had to take the whole thing in and diagnose with techs, other times just in an antistatic bag, sometimes they want to replicate the problem themselves too. Almost always RMAs unless extremely new. Always need receipts.
I do hear from multiple people the Geelong MSY guy is (was?) pretty good.

I have a new sealed 3G Vita and 16gb memory card I've been procrastinating listing on eBay. Would be looking for $250 for it, I'm based in Sydney so I can do meetup cash on hand or paypal and add $10 for delivery cost. Offer is open to anyone so I don't have to put it up on eBay and wait for some jerk with 0 rep to win the item and not pay as happened to me on similarly priced item recently v_v

I've heard the Geelong guy is pretty great about it. Main thing is get on it early, give the MSY you want to go to ASAP, see what they have to say. 99% sure it will be sent away RMA so you will be without a motherboard for a week or so.
MSY got in a ton of shit a few years back for dicking people around in terms of warranty, so they should be pretty on the ball about doing the right thing.

Just rma it direct with the manufacturer. I can't see msy (or anyone else for that matter) swapping over a product that's 1.5 years old on the spot.

This I have heard as well. I'll definitely give them a call today, worst case I get my brother (who works in Geelong) to drop it off for me. I wonder if there's a way I can get a partial refund or something? I don't think that's a thing, but maybe they'd be happy to sell the RMA'd board themselves and let me put it towards a newie. Doubtful, but can't hurt to check.
Yyyup, I remember that dodgy warranty dealio.
I was thinking that, but saw on their site (well, the distributor's site) that I'd have to cough up $33 to replace it.
I'm thinking pretty seriously about just getting a new motherboard, RMAing the current one and then selling one of them. It's only $120 and I suspect it'll save me a lot more heartache than dealing without a computer for a few weeks.
BTW Does anyone know if they deal with intra-store (inter-store?) warranty jobbies? It's easier for me to get to the North Melb. one than Geelong.

Give them a call! I wouldn't expect it to be an issue unless their internal tracking system isn't setup for it, North Melb store might not want that RMA on their record if it doesn't allocate it back to the Geelong one in the system.
Or you could just sell your peecee and buy a Xbone!

i don't know why i care so much about nintendo considering none of their games has ever completely blown my mind really
actually this is further related to the idea of why should i care about the wellbeing of any company at all given the only rational reason to care is the possibility of game/experience output in the future. stupid nonsensical emotional attachment.

Aussies love an underdog!
Also because their games hit you up on dat nostalgia.
That is their sugar, how they get you addicted.
Make your brain remember that time you played Super Mario Bros 3 as a wee lad with your whole life ahead of you.
Your innocence in tact.
Before your soul was crushed by the weight of the real world.
Nintendo take you back there.
Again and again and again.
