Magic is one thing. But single dragons bringing kingdoms to their knees is a lame plot device. Also I hate the character and whole story of that blonde chick. It's just kinda annoying cause I loved the rest. But it's pretty obvious what is gonna happen with her and meh.
It's like when it's about westeros I love it, but the blond chick and wall dudes bores me.
I like fantasy, but in got, I prefer the pure politics and intrigue of the warring kindgoms over the magic shit, to me the magic ruins it for some reason... I dont know, magic has to be part of the world for it to be good, in got it seems to be a rather lame plot device.

On TV shows, I do watch a bit, though some have been recently culled. I won't list them, but I just came across Strange Hill High and I'm in stitches.
He's probably admitting it cos they're dead.
I'm seeing a lot of twitter chatter that says he said words to the effect that the 'Victims weren't entirely blameless', but I can't source that at the moment. It's kind of funny though (in an incredibly depressing kind of way) that apparently the abuse fell below some threshold where the Church didn't feel like it had to act or some shit, if you take his excuses at face value at least. You'd think one abused kid would be bad enough, but...

None of my 3 orders that I made before I even told you guys have come through
Play Age of Empires 2.
Dude, this is religion!
I can't find any news reports saying he said yet, so not sure if actually said.
Don't be sad. You're probably one of the lucky cunts that's getting 1600MSP.None of my 3 orders that I made before I even told you guys have come through
That reminds me, I should go and buy the Horizon rally pack. I can't believe I had to rort a system to get that DLC at an acceptable price, rather than pay whatever exorbitant amount MS were asking in the first place, or wait for a fucking sale.

What he said is already pretty stupid though. But on the face of it, it doesn't seem like he said this - news would be on him like a hawk if he actually did.
Why didn't you? Five bucks a pop, man. Worst case, you get your five bucks a pop back via the Paypal dispute thing. As if MS wouldn't honour it or provide a refund anyway.
PS. I just found out that apparently "rort" is an Australian/New Zealandian word. There you go.

Groupees bundle! Sherlock Holmes games! Also Dracula Origins. Pretty sweet adventure type games for like 50c each, choose what you want, Steamcodes.
Logitechshop sale! Will ramp up with other items, including UE earphones so keep an eye on that!
I know, I'm just a fucking idiot :/
EDIT: Looking at Paypal they already cancelled one of my orders

Are you sure it's not a rort

Can't say I have. I did have a quick google and I don't think it's for me, I've always liked games with an end goal.
You really should get it. I haven't yet as I played it to death on wii, though the extra stages are tempting me.
Edit. After watching this http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=895koqZvihI it seems pretty relaxing.
The Guardian now has an Australian Edition. Beats reading Andrew Bolt.
I totally forgot that Bolt got rammed for racial vilification back in 2011. Going through the case now as part of my course...
Oh man, these articles. "Exactly how Aboriginal is Enoch? Why is she insisting on a racial difference the eye cannot even detect?". The fucking gall to claim that he wasn't accusing them of 'pretending to aboriginal' in the middle of a razor attack piece that clearly does exactly that. And the worst of all is to try and couch it as though he was defending Aboriginal persons from the hordes of white people 'pretending' to be Aboriginal to get benefits. Christ. What a guy.

And oh how he loves repeating that he did, priming his readership to make all the comments he 'can't'.
oh man you should really get it since you're new to the series. yeah it's very relaxing and just...care free fun! crap loads of things to collect and do. i won't guarantee that you'll dig it, but i'm sure it'll be a refreshing experience! it's like, nintendo charm overload.
i've never been much of a dk fan, also bombcast dudes said the framerate is a bit dodgy
Do you use the l shoulder button at all in animal crossing? I need to talk to Nintendo and see if I can get my 3DS repaired for free or for shipping costs (it's outside both the warranty period and the consumer guaranteed warranty period :/), else I'll just have to save up and by a 3DS XL after I shove all the save data off it.
I need work :/
I need work :/
you only need a shoulder button (l or r) for running i think. b button does the same thing. l/r is also used for rotating camera when in your house i think, but i think you can do that with the touchscreen.
so yeah, you'll be fine.
edit: oh no wait, i just checked, you need to press L and R for screenshots. no in game screenshots for you!!

The news never stops etc
A fair bit, but not much week to week. I'm watching homeland at the moment that I fell behind on when it was coming out, but otherwise Game of Thrones, American Dad, Community, NRL... that's all off the top of my head. Baring in mind Archer, Walking Dead and Workaholics recently finished.
Big plans to watch the Americans soon. And Arrested obviously.
Apparently theguardian.com.au a local paper in the NSW riverina area saw a 600%+ increase in traffic today from people.
I got three from yesterday. First one I did (which I didn't even know went through) shows as "in progress" on Paypal, but then, so do the other three.
For some
Horizon rally DLC, here I come!

Oz The Great And Powerful was fantastic, highly recommended. Does not need to exist but I'm glad it does.
Over 2 hours long but didn't feel like it. Acting was great, best work Zach Braff has done in his entire career (understated but still funny without going over the top like usual).
Script was delicious. Worked fucked well. Only one thing that shit me,
That was odd.
Great character arc to the movie too.
Great nods to the OG movie too.
Shocked. 4/5 Kritz.net as I'm still not sure why it exists so 5/5 would just feel weird and bizarre.
Keep any eye on your Paypal account. My first transaction is now listed as 'cancelled' by Microsoft but the other 2 are still pending so fingers crossed.
Seems pretty random as to how it gets approved. Might be based around having alllll your contact/IP/cookies showing the same location but there is a TON of factors in there that might contribute.
Some people on Reddit/OzBargain got 50+ codes. Some took up to 4 days to come through. Some only took 2 hours. Luck of the draw!
At the worst you will lose only the time spent ordering them, no money.

how/who the fuck are all the 'good' townspeople at the execution suddenly? Did I miss something?

Yeah me too, my 3DS shoulder buttons are stuffed... I don't even know how mine die so fast compared to other peoples... it's happened to my DSi's as well :\
I've researched and found that this store does repairs... but for $65, not sure how they are, but worse case scenario, I'll get these guys to fix it :\
try the blowing under the button trick. i blew my the dsi one long enough and it eventually came...around to working normally...ahem.
i doubt it, it's not very demoable

Hey AusGAF: I'm not dead yet! Won't have internet for another couple of days (won't even have power tomorrow night).
Can't get the direct URL of this pic I took this morning to embed in a post, if someone wants to post it directly in here go ahead...
http://instagram.com/p/Z00HjZO91Y/
Have so far been to Jerash, Mount Nebo, the Dead Sea (got covered in mud), Kerak, Petra (hells yeah) and tomorrow Wadi Rum. Jordan is pretty nice actually. Not as hot as expected thus far, but still sunburnt.
Postcard over.

Lash out on a better hotel dude, that looks ancient.
If any of you haven't watched this show, watch it. I have no interest in American football and still loved this show.
Clear eyes, full heart.....

Agreed great show. The second (or maybe third?) season was a bit shit. Where it gets super soap opera-y, but it gets back on track afterwards

Oh snap. Cheers, big ears.
Fucking bought, you rock. Now, if only I was a stoner so I can enjoy them like I was a kid again. No, I was not a stoner when I was a kid. Though it certainly would explain a lot...
Anything specifically about it that means you can't play it, or just "always on"?Won't be able to play Forza 5 due to my shitty internet
