Delivery time from OGS is usually a week to ten days.
Problem with Mind Games is their prices are pretty high...and tend to be out of stock of what I want to impulse buy!

Check out the Good Games in the city too. Its on the other side past Minotaur down a side street, through a door you will probably walk past, up some stairs and through some office. Pretty good selection and may be $5 cheaper than Mind games.

Good games on Lonsdale or is this one a different one?
Aside from antibiotics, did your doctor suggest something like a saline compress? It might help some with the irritation.
Buy some saline from the pharmacy or mix a very small amount of sea salt with some warm water and dip a paper towel or cotton ball in there and use it as a compress on your (closed, obviously) eye. Doing this for 5-10 mins a few times a day should help soften and loosen the dried fluid from around the area as well as soothing it.
If there is some swelling, which I assume there would be, pure chamomile tea bags that have been moistened with warm water and used as a compress like above can reduce the swelling. You can also make the tea, brewing for 5 mins and using paper towels or cotton balls for the compress if you prefer. Chamomile is a natural anti-inflammatory.
These techniques are used for piercings and are perfectly suited to your situation where you have pus, lymph and inflammation. Both saline, home-made saline (as long as it's no stronger than tears (though don't taste from the same sample you use on your eye, saliva is bad for your eye)) and chamomile are perfectly safe. The rule used for healing piercings is actually 'don't use anything you wouldn't put in your eye'.
Hope this unsolicited advice is helpful. Irritated eyes are the worst and even the slightest relief makes a world of difference. Feel better soon mate.
I can vouch for Games Empire. They have Space Alert in stock here. If you get your order in soon, they'll likely ship it out today as they are open. Call them if you want to make sure, they're good people.
So did you read the crash dump or not? I assume you've turned off any overclocking.
Hey fellow AusGAFers, long time reader, first time poster.
I'm in Melbourne and a bit of an odd question but... does anyone know of any quality boutique jewellers? I'm looking at popping the question some time in the next 6 months and I'm having trouble finding something that I think would suit for my better half. Cost isn't really a crazy issue, but finding something good seems to be difficult. I'd like to stick with smaller places rather than the big chains because I find the quality difference so far has been quite high and the prices too.
I know this isn't like diamondGAF or anything but I figure if anyone has had experience (GAF, I know, lol) wouldn't hurt to ask
I forget it's name, but there's a nice pearl store along Collins st I believe, near the theatre. There are a few other stores there, but i've only been into the pearl store so i'm not sure of the quality of the others. but I had to get buzzed in.
I'll definitely take note of them. "Good people" is exactly the criteria I like to see when looking for a new place to shop.

I only had a quick play last night, didn't get around to the crash dumps. Probably won't have any time to do any more with it until the weekend. And I don't overclock.
Everything I've been reading has pointed towards CPU, but I could have a look at the GPU.
I did put a second 670 in recently, but these issues were occurring before that. My main 670 should still be under warranty from PCCG or Galaxy, as I bought it in August of last year.
Might try the PC with just the second card and see how it goes.
Not heaps of cash atm, so I might grab a second hand i7 CPU from OCAU and see if that helps...

To restrain his power so he doesn't blow a hole in his lover.
Yea i was only guessing. From memory the 0000000031 code relates to CPU/GPU but I haven't seen a BSOD or even that in years. Just google it and see what it says.
If it does point towards a CPU then you could just go a barebones setup, remove the GPU and if you have onboard graphics on the CPU, just use that. Then run Prime95 and see what happens.

Yeah that's the one.
All of a sudden I don't feel so bad for missing out on trying the Rift. Feelin' Fine.
PS. People, need an idea for a 5-year-old's birthday present. I think he likes Lego, Scooby Doo and something else that escapes me. I'm tempted to buy a box of some kind of biscuits and print out/glue something to the box so they look like Scooby Snacks, but other than that I'm SOL.
I bet it's just like XBLIG where we don't see shit, captain.
Honestly, I can guarantee that it will happen. And that I will probably buy one at that stage. I'd actually be surprised if they couldn't drop it ~$150 and go for the jugular.
Pachter works for MS now?

Devkits have higher specs than retail consoles, mainly higher RAM count. Saying I could "do everything that someone like Respawn is doing" is a straight out, 100% lie. Bald faced lie. Liar liar pants on fire. Unless the cloud is made up of nanomachines it ain't gonna give me the hardware technology that Respawn are using.
And that's indeed before even getting into the Software side of things.
Like CBOAT alluded to. It will end up a similar thing to XBLIG and even the old PS2 garage stuff. A lot more powerful but not up to the full use of the console.
ITS STILL A FUCKING AWESOME THING THOUGH DONT GET ME WRONG
The 180 is again great for us consumers. Means we get awesome indie games and the chance to tinker around and make a Super Meat Boy kinda thing. Will also allow Kickstarter projects to jump into the store. THIS IS AWESOME BUT THEY ARE STILL MAKING IT UP AS THEY GO SO A FEW LIES WILL POP OUT EVERY FEW SENTENCES SINCE JOURNALISTS DONT CALL THEM ON IT SO THERE IS NO WORRY ABOUT LYING.
I will buy a 180 at some point, once there is a way to unplug the Kinect really, or buy it without one like has been rumoured and is 89% likely to happen now.
Oh ho ho. See Rudd. This is your fucking fault. You tried to play things their way and now we are in the ESCALATION phase of this cuntish policy talk. You can't do things the Liberal way. You can't try to be cunts to people because the Liberals will just out cunt you. They have been raised in the ways of the cunt for generations, you can't fight cunt with cunt. Abbott will eat you for breakfast.
I can see this moving into Stolen Generation territory soon. Winning the election is more important than improving human rights worldwide.
Nah they are awesome. 1-2 week postage from the UK, everything is compatible with our stuff and the customer service is fantastic. I ordered a game the same day I sent a letter to the WA and my game arrived before my mate in the WA got my Aussie Post letter!
That's because Aus Post are shit though, mind.

Ah, now I get it. Sorry for the slowness.
Get him some scotch that's been aged 20 years. Not many people get to try a scotch that's 4 times as old as they are. That's pretty special.
.
That *is* a good idea. Although my great uncle Floyd tried some 340-year-old scotch only a few months ago so it's not THAT special.

Idk maybe process them in a humane and timely manner.
Send them to NT, Give them jobs building new places of interest. Housing, Pools, Pools, Shops, Education things.
Put them to work!
or send them to perth.
I have no honest answer. I don't find it to be an issue because I don't pay attention to it.

You weren't joking about mind games terrible prices, Omi. $100 for Space Alert. She told me she thought their prices were pretty good. I told her, they really aren't.
I'll just get it from Amazon for $70.

JIM GUTHRIE HAS ALL HIS COOL SHIT UP FOR WHATEVERYOUWANNAPAY
AND YOU CAN GET SUPERBROS EP & INDIE GAME MOVIE FOR $4 STEAMKEY
I like you, you're a good hype man.
Already got the deal last week. I really need to look into seeing how many dupes and keys I have to give away with all the humble bundle deals.
Got Giana for $3 and a friend gifted me Kentucky Route Zero. I returned the favour by buying him Rogue Legacy, which I finally started playing myself last night. Lots of fun, hilarious and a great roguelike.
Started Monaco too, that game gets insane with multiple players.
Let them settle. It's 2% of our total immigration. It would be a total non issue if Howard hadn't lied about it for votes.

The people that arrive here by boats have such a shitty life that they are willing to travel a great distance in a boat that barely stays afloat in the hope that they will make it here and have a chance at a half decent life. Even though they know we treat asylum seekers like crap.
I don't think we can quite comprehend the desperation that people must be experiencing to give up all they have (including potentially their lives) to get out of their own country and come here.
We should do what any country really should do: take their application and grounds for asylum; those that meet the criteria stay and those that don't get a flight back to their country.
Apart from the fact that the issue is a fantastic diversion from having to come up with real policies I think the focus should really be on greater consequences for the traffickers, not the asylum seekers.
Edit: if you're going to pick on anyone, pick on the people that overstay their visas and are living here illegally. I think the number of people in 2010 was something like 15000.

I'm a big proponent for getting young ones into reading. If they find it enjoyable before school forces books on them and makes it feel like a chore, then they've got a great start.
With that in mind, Book Depository has you covered.
Did you miss my reply? It's in stock at Games Empire for $64.99 plus postage.
What's the number of people required for your thoughts on that to change, Fred?
For context, there were 17,000 arrivals last year, and we're on track for 30,000 arrivals this year.
Not to use Disco Stu math, but let's say hypothetically it double again to 60,000 next year. Would the policy of 'just let them settle' stay the same?

I would cheat off the Greens plan, which is a pretty decent starting point.
Unless the UNHCR is overhauled and has a massive increase in funding, and unless more countries sign up to the convention, people will still make risky journeys to shitty countries because waiting for one of the 500 spots a year that the UNHCR in Indonesia allocates will be a losing game.
It won't double, I also would like a source on that 30k figure. Additionally, do you feel that they are not genuine refugees, or do you just feel they should be someone else's problem?

Wait 500 spots? Is this the hunger games or some shit?
60,000? How many rotten, falling apart boats per hour is that?

Pit them against one another in brutal deathsports, televised for our entertainment. Winner each week is granted citizenship.
That's a complex question and I'm a simpleton. If some calamity occured in some part of the world and many countries found their intake to increase by a similar percentage, then yeah I'd expect us to help a bit too. It's not like more people is a bad thing.

I hated the ruleset in that. We just used it for world building and used a variety of other rules in the setting.
