Hey Gazunta!

HNNNNNNGHGHHH HURRY UP I WANT TO INJECT IT DIRECTLY INTO MY EYYYYEESSSS

I think a shitty 80s sitcom about me would be amazing.

shaneus?
cookie man?
will you be joining us tonight?

 

[Shaneus]

Nintendo's Double Satorus (head honcho Iwata and NoE boss Shibata).

Thankyousir.

You should check the Gaming forum when people make a reference to gaming.

So a search for "Wayne's World" would've brought me to that? :/

shaneus?

Nope. Still feeling a bit shit and have a family do tonightski.

ZOMG

Am I doing it right?

It's $12!

To get that particular copy to my door, I have to part with at least 18 of my hard-earned dollars Unless you want one of the other games that are $12 and are happy to split?

It was the Nintendo heads photoshopped onto a random picture as a joke. The Nintendo heads was the clue silly! Something was going to happen relating to Nintendo! Who are in the games industry!

Also kinda! Can't wait for some proper fucking shots of Drive Club though. Why the hell do they keep putting out compressed shots.
The remark that they should give us gifs instead is a good one.

I'll look tonight! Maybe we can grab 2 copies of Blur.

Also the fact that PGR/Wipeout people are working on Drive Club and that it will take that they are aiming for that PGR arcade feel makes me warm inside. Should end up a cross between Forza Horizon (open world) and PGR4 (mechanics) by the looks of it.

Totally fooled youse all, they were actually shots from PGR4! Woo!

We could do that. Apparently the online is actually still pretty good for the console versions (PC am bored coz cheaters) and I'm yet to play any copy of it online (except for the beta that came out yonks ago).

I'm not sure how many ex-Bizarre people are working there, but I'm pretty sure it's only one or two. Not sure on Psygnosis/Liverpool, but I didn't think it was that many either. Either way, I don't think there's *that* much that indicates which side of the fence their game will sit, though obvious answer would probably be more arcade than simmy.

1998 Hottest 100 replay on Triple J has been fantastic. Awesome radio again!

Don't you enjoy the GAF shops!

Sounds good to me, I can pick up my copy at PAX!

They have been touting the PGR/Wipeout influences as well as the arcade approach so if they are going on the front foot with that in interviews I would assume it plays a major part in their philosophy.

All I need now is a confirmation that the rubber banding will be toned down! Wasn't as bad in Apoc but the first 2 had terrible rubber bands.

Have they? I haven't been paying incredibly close attention to it... but there's a difference b/w being all talk and having the staff to back up the statements. If PGR5 comes out, at least there'll be a history to go off. With #DriveClub, it's still an unknown quantity until it's released.

So you're in on Blur? Should have arrived by the time PAX.

I see what you did there. You were making a joke about my appendages, weren't you?


PS. Everyone should go and buy Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery for their iOS or Vita device. It's made by the rad folks at Lucid (who will be making PGR5, I'm sure) and it's quite a fun, cute little puzzler that I think is made for kids (5+ maybe?) but my noggin is getting a bit of a workout as well. First episode on iOS is only $3 (not sure about Vita).

[Dead Man]

Apparently they never needed an internet filter:

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2013-05-17/concern-over-asic-internet-blocking-bungle/4697236

There are calls for greater oversight and transparency after the corporate regulator accidentally blocked more than 1,000 websites.

Yesterday it was revealed the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) was responsible for blocking the websites in a bungled attempt to stop just one that has been operating to defraud people.

ASIC was using what is known as a Section 313 request under the Telecommunications Act.

It is supposed to be used by law enforcement agencies like the Australian Federal Police to stop access to illegal websites.

The bungled blocking of sites has revealed that Government agencies are now seeing the 15-year-old Section 313 as a way to filter the net.

It has reopened debate about how legal or illegal information is blocked or censored online.

Jasmine-Kim Westendorf runs the Melbourne Free University website, which was accidentally blocked.

"We never thought the block was directed at us, but the fact there was no recourse available to us, there was no-one who would give us answers, there was no way we could challenge the decision that had been made by this mysterious Australian authority was pretty concerning," she said.

"There are some pretty big implications from this about how government agencies might use a similar power in the future.

"The fact that we live in a democracy but we were unable to get any information about how the Government was exercising its authority in this case was pretty alarming."

Many are now concerned that the use of Section 313s could be worse than Labor's mandatory internet web filtering policy, which was dumped last year.

There is concern that any state or federal government body can now effectively censor the internet without any oversight or due process.

[Box of Bunnies]

Nintendo Directs summary:

Yakuza 1&2 HD for Japan. First time the series leaves the Playstation brand but probably never likely to hit the west because the series sells like shit outside of glorious Nippon. Choc convinced it would be a system seller anyway.

Mario & Sonic at Mario & Sonic at the Winter Olympics. It's more Mario & Sonic at the Olympics, but in HD.

Sonic Lost World WiiU/3DS exclusive, confirming it will usurp Sonic Colours' position as best 3D Sonic that isn't Sonic R.

Wonderful 101 release date shows that Iwata has a funny definition of the term "launch window".

Pikmin 3 details and date do likewise.

New Super Ouiji DLC dated, limited stand alone retail release confirmed

[Deeku]

ehhhh still don't need a wiiu

also cool new av shan!

 

[Jintor]

W101 might make me consider it, but when B2 drops, they'll force my hand

 

[Box of Bunnies]

Bayonetta is the only time I've ever paid the full $119.99 RRP for a game. Nowhere but EB had it locally and I really didn't want to wait for that shit. Good thing I already have a WU so Bayo2 is just a sweetener rather than a hand tipper.

 

[Deeku]

I would logically get a wiiu for new 3d mario or zelda, but I dunno, I kinda just get my nintendo fix from 3ds now...

Also I guess it's kinda impressive that yakuza's on wiiu!

 

[markot]

You crumb bums don't appreciate the greatness of Lego city.

 

[shanshan310]

ehhhh still don't need a wiiu

also cool new av shan!

thanks ! it's nana

Yeah, although once smash bros comes out there is gonna be a pretty decent number of multiplayer games on there that might justify it.

 

[EatChildren]

I wan't Lego City but I don't want to pay too many dollars for it. So instead I'm going to buy a port of DKC Returns because I don't know what the fuck I'm doing with my money.

The Wii U's "launch window" has been nothing short of a painfully hillarious disaster. It couldn't be much worse than it's been.

Still, Wonderful 101 will be worth the wait. I know it.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

My brother's got Lego City, mean to borrow it off him some day, just already too busy not playing games I actually own.

Still, Wonderful 101 will be worth the wait. I know it.

Following on from my $119.99 Bayonetta post, I also paid $99.99 for Viewtiful Joe for similar reasons.

Kamiya has yet to let me down.

Man the latest gameindustry.biz report on Nintendo is just amazingly brutal. Probably with good reason, if performance is to be believed. Jesus christ Nintendo.

The manga is better (I think the genre works better in print), but its pretty much my favourite series. I'm not sure if you'd like it but if you have a whole box watch it!
