Holy shit yowies. Next they will be reporting on oddbodz and other weird 90s things. Oh and puggles from that forest shop with all the soft toys.

Oh tell me more, baby.
But yeah it's cool that most people are going solo as well. Half the appeal of going is meeting other gaming peeps. Just gotta sort out accommodation/flights and everything's sorted!
They were. They were just plain chocolate with a shitty toy inside. Yowies to Kinder Surprise were what Mega Bloks are to Lego.
puggles were awesome.
when you get one on your bday and it goes down the magical slide ;_;

That makes sense, you've probably heard so many burns in your life that you'd know quite a few.

I was a kid haha.
I found it at my parents randomly a few years ago in a box full of other 90s crap.
Also my AFX Bathurst racing set and my old LEGO instructions folder.

No way! The chocolate was delicious and the Yowies were cool as fuck! Boof was a fucking tank! Radical dude!
Redemption in the face of Fallout wars, Tazos were also cool as fuck.
I don't think I have ever met an attic/barn that didn't have an AFX set laying around in one form or another.

I don't give a shit about Yowies. They always felt like a cynical "kids like this shit but it's foreign shit, they should be buying a true blue, fair dinkum Stryne chocolate-with-toy-in-it" thing.

When we moved away from Adelaide my uncle gave me that glow in the dark t-rex, not sure if he collected all the issues or just bought them from a garage sale or something lol
The magazine was pretty sweet though! The stack of them was almost taller than my sister at the time!

Not nearly enough.
Mega Man X/Full Throttle/Bayonetta are the true Citizen Kanes of gaming.

I guess Grand Theft Auto 3 is the biggest recent one. Made a fucking huge change to the industry.
World of Warcraft too.
Angry Birds as well, although could have been one before it.

As it stands,
is a very clunky and confusing term. I get what they're trying to say and I'm fairly certain of what exact phrase they were trying to avoid, but I don't think that was the wording they should have settled for.
Well done, game reviewers.
Citizen Kane moment

Empire's a film magazine. Seems cliched but fair enough they'd compare a great game to a great film.

Yeah that is spot on, swap out Doom for Wolf3D though and add in Angry Birds.

What about Call of Doody
I always have difficulty with the "Citizen Kane" of films, let alone games. I remember CK as being a great film, but I don't think I'm familiar enough with the films of the preceding years to really understand the filmic impact it supposedly had.
Anyway isn't half the point that it was lampooning one of the bigwigs at the time yet still managed to get a film release a few years later?
More of a cultural watershed than any real innovation or accomplishment? Right?
I have more appreciation for (and memory of) The Conversation than Citizen Kane to be honest.
Also games. Hi Ausgaf.

Does anyone know if I buy a UK/EU playstation plus card if it will work on a AU psn account?
The cheapest place is ozgameshop but not sure if it's compatible.

The hell, how long have they been the same? >.> I swear they were two separate services at one point. Disregard my earlier comments.
I had a sick day today and still feel crappy. I want to go to my room, eat my pumpkin soup, watch a movie on Netflix and then fall asleep.
AusGAF, what movie should I watch?
Pick it from here: http://www.moreflicks.com/
Netflix only.

Jesus christ. Fucking game reviewers.
Cashies? Maybe. At least they test their shit before you sell it to them, so I presume you would get working controllers.

Pre-owned consoles is a minefield of worry. Just pick one up cheap new. What console?
Here.
Or for a comedy.

I wouldn't mind a PS3 but all the retailers have the cheap looking one which is expensive for some stupid reason.

Netflix doesn't have Raider of the Lost Ark or Transformers 1986.
I'm all out of ideas over here!
