Well, I just saw a large ute driving around with two flags on the back, these weren't stickers but actual material flags. The first was an American flag, ok nothing too strange. The second was a confederate flag...Wtf. I wasn't able to establish if Tony Abbott was the driver, so I'll assume, maybe.
Shit city, lol.
I posted about MK earlier in the thread, slowcoach.
DMC worth it at that price? I'm guessing that given Capcpom, it'll be $10 or less soon anyway?
What's Reus?
I can vouch for that keyboard. Great for browsing on a TV while comfy-couching.

I know that there are a few board game enthusiasts on AusGAF, and I was wondering if anyone has played the Game of Thrones board game (second edition)? I'm not big into them, but I absolutely love the old school Hero Quest BG so don't know if GoT is at all similar?

Has anyone ever ordered any digital stuff off Amazon? They won't allow Australians to buy it, but I can just add a US billing address and that's fine. Will they actually check my credit card details against the US address?

There's no guarantee things won't change, but tons of people (me included) have ordered using that method without any problems. Just put down your address as a US state without sales tax!
Just use a US address and your normal CCard.
I currently have my amazon address set to Google HQ and it works fine.
Sidenote, 10 hours into SR4. Game's actually amazing. Was really skeptical of it coming into it, but boy, if SR4 isn't the second best Crackdown game, I don't know what is.
Probably Crackdown 2

Cheers! At $8 I can justify double dipping on MK.

SR4 is a great expansion pack. Basically draws in Prototype controls with Crackdown jumping and orb collection into the linear story missions of SR3.
Hey Danoss! Did you get any pictures of the red moon last night? Was stunning coming up over the horizon around 6:45pm last night.
Also that The Switcher boardgame sure looks like a boardgame! Any chance you guys have any information on it?

Thanks gents. I was pretty sure that's how you did the Amazon thing. Protip on the sales tax thing!

Just learned Australia had camps for immigrants for a long time:

Guess refugees being treated like shit was all the could be expected.
Edit: That feeling when everyone on Steam is playing SR4

Ironman England > Great Britain for me.
Made some mistakes and missed opportunities in the early years. That and starting with a 0/0/0 ruler does nothing for your nation. Spain and France are massive and I have no desire to go to war with either of them. Making some headway into America and am in the process of making the worlds largest navy, so that's something.

Yes and no... I would suggest watching a Let's Play and see if you think it is something you could get into. I recommend Quill18.

Sshhhh, accept your stories about heroic medics and their donkey friends.
I had no idea we interned "enemy aliens" during WWI and II. I do not recall it being mentioned at any point during my schooling. I found out last year when I was reading about the US camps. I got a bit curious and decided to see if Australia had done anything similar. I don't know why I was surprised, but I was.
I mean, maybe I just went to the wrong schools, or maybe it's something you learn about in upper school history (which I didn't do), but I think we should teach our children that we once imprisoned a bunch of people because their names sounded a certain way or they spoke with a certain accent. And then we should teach them that that's actually kind of... you know, wrong and dehumanising and just generally terrible.
Just casually inserting myself into AusGAF. You guys seem all right.

Kids these days... They used to.
I remember being bombarded with stuff like this on telly.
The Cowra Breakout
The Dunedin Boys
The Alien Years (with a very young Christolph Waltz)

They even changed the names of a bunch of towns. Birdsville used to be Hamburg, for instance.
In other news, I found out this morning that the Hillsong people have abandoned the ex-gay movement and seem to be embracing a Catholic-style "You can be gay, but you can't have sex" mode. Baby steps.

it took a trip to Target, Big W, Kmart and finally another Big W to find Splinter Cell on Wii U.
It was only $60 (which was nice).
are they releasing Super Luigi on the eshop here at any point? I can only see a trailer video for download. the retail copy was $58

The Priscilla/Belrose/Alice Springs thing only just clicked then. Haha
The digital version is DLC for New Super Mario U so you need to go to the listing for that and then "view add on content" or whatever, think it's $29.99 or thereabouts. Only the retail version is stand alone.

I'll let you know after I get a chance to play it.
They've always been pretty good 7-8 out of 10 games despite Ubi constantly changing them in ways no wants (see also Rainbow 6, Ghost Recon, Prince of Persia, Assassin's Creed)
Sometimes GAF confuses me. How can anyone think The Chappelle Show is overrated?

It has got stealth mode back, so I'm happy (Fuck conviction). I'm probably going to rent it or buy it later after a price drop. From what gameplay I saw at PAX au, it looked pretty good.
Holy.

This is why we don't get pre-loads on consoles.
Need to leave the pre-load until 24 hours before release yo!

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Because I apparently have too much time on my hands, I started this thread:
Special Editions & Preorders Holiday OT 2013 - Getting the most for the least!
Is it worth doing for you guys? Amazing how many versions we get even compared to America and the Brits.

Wouldn't say 'amazing'. Certainly well-executed.

It came out digitally here before the disc version. You have to buy it from within Mario U though. I'm guessing they did that to prevent anyone buying it from the eShop then complaining when they don't have the Mario U disc to play it.
It's not obvious, I had to ask around to find out myself.

I was just really happy they ran with more important and grounded themes instead of the cliches the game (and post-apoc/zombie apocalypse genre entire) baits you with.

So weird, for me there was almost nothing worth playing on PS3 last year but this year has been pretty good considering I was able to play two whole PS3 exclusives I wanted (TLOU and Sly 4) and maybe 3 if Beyond ends up being as worthy as David Cage thinks it is.
I will try this tomorrow.
yes. Even though I have sworn off Special Eds, I would be interesting on viewing such a thread.

Check out collectorsedition.org for material.
I reckon it is really approachable compared to previous outings (similar to the way CK2 was), just the scope is so much bigger. Here is my current state of play!
I am playing as Spain and am highlighted in the sort of mustard yellow. Dominating the Caribbean. 8)
Edit: Oh yeah, just vassalised the Huron people...
