post for clipper!

So I finished Phoenix Wright last night! well the first 4 missions, then I got the credits.

I began the 5th and final post credits mission, but only got 20 minutes in.

Such a fun game! I'd always wanted to play it, and thanks for spurring me to do so. I think i'll hold out on playing PW5 until i've finished the first four!

This attempted armed robbery with a machete happened five minutes away from my house:

Dude backed off when he realized the owner of the restaurant was twice his size.

What the fuck is this thing that everyone is trying to bring over from another forum? Emoticons? I thought we were done with this here!

Haha, if you want car glitches, just drive them into small spaces / onto edges of buildings and stairs. The physics engine really bugs out and you end up in all sorts of weird places.

As for other stuff, its really all over the shop, AI pathing onto door frames and getting stuck, characters 'holding' items, but the item is about a foot away from their hands, characters talking to other characters that forgot to be spawned... all sorts of stuff is just broken.

I wonder what the issue is, I don't recall running into any glitches after 100%ing it and all the DLC on both PC and 360.

SEE, PC GAMES ARE A FUCKING MESS, SO MUCH BS, THEY WILL NEVER BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY >.>

Play them all, so good. Very lightweight and very short experiences but the writing is really enjoyable. Capcpom translation team did a great job.

Anyone still have a preorder locked with Amazon? I feel like I'm gonna regret not having a local console at one point or another and I pretty much preordered it in the first place for shits and giggles but now, I kind of want it. I have a pretty good bluray player but I'm still kind of wary.

What should I do?

What's there to regret about not having a local console?

Our whole belief system has been undermined. Walls will come crashing down! Oh, wait, that's just Kritz's fast food joint level.

Have even less cheevos on Sleeping Dogs than both of you

Also, Steam frequently screws up issuing achievements.

The short story is that Xbox Live and the OS, especially in functions that involve XBL, are a complete fucking mess. One source says we aren’t talking weeks until it works correctly but “months.” Things like parties dropping people when moving from one thing to another. Connectivity issues. Missed invites. Friend requests not working, etc.

He then said “If all you are doing is running a game and that’s the only app things are fine.”

So why do think things are going wrong?

“The system OS and network integration was written by a group of people who do not play games. They don’t understand why things were set up in the ways they were designed by J Allard back in ’05.”

Weeks, maybe even months before OS and Live are fixed.

Also I DID 100% Sleepy! Also all the cheevo DLC on 360 and the Nightmare in North Point DLC on PC. Wasn't even hard. Especially compared to the time sink I had 100%ing GTA5 with those fucking jumps and under water bullshit :/

Also gold medal cheevo took forever >_<

This is really exciting news to me. I''ve been listening to Triple J since I was 16 (I turned 32 on Friday) and never really felt like it grew or changed with me. Now the J's are taking over ABC's Dig digital radio station and catering towards over 30 types who still listen.

http://messandnoise.com/news/4623422

NO MORE DIZZY RASCAL AND KANYE YOU GUYS. HOPEFULLY SAY GOODBYE TO AUSSIE HIP HOP TOO.

Don't shoot me, but I really like some of Kanye's stuff. His really angry industrial sounding stuff reminds me of Nine Inch Nails when they were actually good.

Yeezus is a really good record. If you can stand his pompous attitude and strange tangents his series of interviews with Zan Lowe are interesting.

a return to the boring nineties and generic alternative rock? yawn*#

#Aussie hip-hop still sucks

Amusingly, the music I have on my phone is as follows:
Hottest 100 1993 - 2003 + the 2009 hottest 100 of all time.

Goddamn. Don't ever go looking for a kid's show you can't recall the name of because it's one amazing nostalgic rabbithole. Here's a few I remember fondly and just came across again trawling wikipedia lists of children's shows aired on the ABC or featuring anthropomorphic characters.

Didn't find the actual show I was looking for though. :(
If anyone knows it, I'd be eternally grateful.
I don't remember much but I think it featured anthropomorphic kitchen utensils (one might've been a sponge?) and the setting was a kitchen counter and they sometimes went under the sink.

You're supposed to move onto Aunty vanilla. Even the triple j presenters do! (Robbie Buck, Marc Fennell, other people I can't remember)
The only person at triplej who never leaves is the King because he's too busy enjoying power lol.

But yeah there's not really an appealing station for the time in between listening to triple j and enjoying abc local & radio national.

It wasn't bump in the night was it? Kind of different I guess. That description actually sounds really familiar...

Nah man, that's not true. 90's had trip hop as well as stuff like DJ Shadow, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and Fatboy Slim blew up big time.

Rock was much better back then, but that's only part of the 90's appeal!

While on the topic, I've had this show in my head for a good year now and I've not been able to work out what it was.
Which im sure you can understand is slowly killing me.

It was a live action show about a group of teenage inventors or something who all lived in a house and it was just about them and the deals they were trying to make to get their products made. I remember one of the guys in the house had some new racing bicycle he was developing!

You spend most of your time playing solo regardless of whether you have access to multiplayer or not. Monster hunter does take a while to pick up though.

Wait what? Are you looking at Hottest 100 or the Tamworth Music Festival circa 1974?

Nah, the kitchen was really bright (under the sink was dark I think) so the style doesn't match. While looking up bump in the night pics just now I came across this weird looking guy
