My constant trawling of Woolworths for clearance items has come back to haunt my poor tummy.
Picked up a ham/cheese pull apart for $1.50, score!

Today I am sick. And AusGAF is quiet as fuck. The one day I'm home in bed with my phone and nothing is happening aside from Left 4 Dead 3. Weak.

im very very very slowly reading through numenera and have decided that this shall be the game i use for the next ausgaf pnp table top rpg adventuer.
these books are hard to read and get your head around, at least i think so, as a person who would much rather learn through experience for these kinds of things.
i find nothing makes much sense until its put into practice and i see how things play out

Would go in on Sonic Racing but I won't have a PC that will be able to run it acceptably any time soon and am plenty happy with my PS3 copy.

Everyone else that doesn't already have it should buy it, though. Alex Kidd! NiGHTS! Ulalal! Vyse! In one of the best arcade racers in a long time! Can you feel the sunshine?

Rate cut? Awesome, say hello to a 60c dollar. Fuck me. I don't give a shit about the fucking exporters.

The dollar didn't drop much. I think a lower dollar would be more to do with overseas conditions improving than our own interest rates. The low interest rates is the RBA trying to encourage spending because the Government is too pissweak to do any spending of their own.

I'm just looking forward to the part where the bank drops their rate by 0.00000000002 in response.

Actually they've all passed it on in full. Westpac cut by more than the RBA even. ANZ are the only holdouts because they have their special monthly meeting for jerks.

PORCUPINE TREE'S STEVEN WILSON ANNOUNCES MASSIVE THREE-DATE AUSTRALIAN TOUR

Visionary English musician, producer and driving force behind the prog rock and metal movement, Steven Wilson has just announced a huge three-date October Australian tour set to showcase the frontman and founder of Porcupine Tree’s latest solo record plus some selections from previous releases.

In a live show jam-packed with beautiful visual effects and a captivating aural soundscape that will leave you quivering, Wilson will primarily perform material from his much acclaimed new release, The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories) with a six-piece band – including himself – delivering the isolated instruments in four channel (or quadraphonic) surround sound, a feat that hasn’t been attempted since Pink Floyd’s heyday.

GMG 4-pack deals! Use GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN 20% off code for below prices

Awesomenauts for USD$2 each (USD$8 pack)
Chivalry for USD$5 each (USD$20 pack)
Sanctum 2 for USD$3 each (USD$12 pack)
Sonic Racing Transformed for USD$3 each (USD$12 pack)
Click to expand...
I already have Transformed, but I'd happily chuck in $3 if it meant I had a code (or something) that I could give to someone else (like a relative or AusGAFfer who isn't Jase).

Do I want Chivalry? I think I do, but isn't it online-only or something?

Others don't interest me.

Edit: Looks like Chivalry doesn't have anything specifically single-player other than bot mode. Fuuuuuuck that.

So, if you can't get an even multiple of four for Transformed, I'll kick in a few bucks and maybe gift it to someone. $3 is a goddamn steal.

Fuck's sake why is it so difficult to find out who you need to give money to to watch the media you want to around here

I loved The World's End. Its certainly different from Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz but still very good. I would have liked more belly laughs but all in all a good time was had by all 4 people in the cinema.

Did you see my DM Jintor?

Also found this funny. Saints Row dev "didn't appreciate" THQ's focus on porn actresses
Saints Row 4's associate producer Kate Nelson said:
"In Saints Row 2 and Saints Row 3 there was an emphasis on the penthouse girls, and earlier Tera Patrick," Nelson continued. "I think it's important in marketing games to make sure that the essence of the game is what's being marketed, and I think the porn star angle didn't really fit in with what Saints Row is at heart, which is a parody. We like to poke fun."

Saints Row 4 is now published by new series owner Deep Silver - but it is debatable whether much has changed. A recent preview event for the game was populated by a number of pole dancers.

Interest rate cut- just as I don't have a mortgage any more. Oh well.

but that leads to, or at least has contributed/contributed to some of the

Falling dollar- just as I need to convert a large amount of money into US Dollars. Boo-urns.

It's fucking shit don't buy it. Just boring. Not so bad it's good. Just mundane. No fun. No enjoyment. Just watch the gifs instead.

On the bright side, John Harper is working on an Apocalypse World hack of the same name. It's still in playtest and I'm sure it'll be great when it's completed. Current version for public version is here (not that I expect anyone to click through, or even get wtf it is if they do).
