Backing you completely here Choc, this is what i am thinking also. In terms of shock tho, i am thinking 2-3 new gimicky features and the rest will just be stuff we have seen elsewhere but now with an apple brand on it.
When are u calling the release/purchasable date of the IP5? I am thinking late October or around same time as holiday sales.
Did you cats catch Serrels' Ocarina of Time reflection article? It's very good. Not that you'd expect less from the man, of course.
This might have been more evocative because I'm on a real travel writing kick at the moment.

How dare I have an opinion that differs from you! I might go shack up with Andrew Bolt and produce some love children to free speech.

I can't tell you how much I dislike this opinion. The first half of The Beatles career doesn't reach the heights of post Rubber Soul, but it's still fantastic early rock and roll and is full of amazing songs. Dismissing it as 'boy band' is a huge disservice to the music and what they were doing at the time and it makes me a sad panda.

VicRoads are money hungry. They charge for everything, even for changing the date of your test.Choc said:
Proposal for a GFC drinking game:
Every time an economist says the words unexpected or surprised, down a shot of your chosen beverage.
By the time the GFC is really over, you won't remember a thing about it.
Though I suspect the economists themselves drink like this before writing their outlooks.

I was answering your question?Kerrby said:
I'm not going to disagree about their place in music history, but I was making a point about their listenability today. If they had stopped at Help! they'd just be another Beach Boys. If you like early Rock n Roll, that's fine, but not a particularly common taste.legend166 said:
Seeing Serrels write kick ass stuff like his Ocarina piece inspires me to write and make myself a better writer.
I know I can write some good stuff too (not as good as Mark though), if only it was my full time job
Having the time to craft out a nice piece of writing and that being your sole 'job' would be great. At least that's how I feel.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
My neurotic housemate has been in completely uncontrolled overdrive and paranoia about moving, and only tells me now that a removalist is booked for 8am this Friday, despite not knowing whether the gas and electricity would be hooked up, making zero effort to relocate the net (which she has to do as it is in her name), and not informing our housemate of this current residence that a whole heap of shit she probably uses is going to up and go by the end of the week.
She is both one of the easiest people I've ever lived with, and one of the most unbelievably horrible people I've had to deal with moving. She needs to do some coke and chill or something because fuck I shouldn't have to keep up with her neurotic bullshit.

An RBA led recession? Like the actions of our little central bank can prevent that. Keeping rates where they are gives them more room to move when the shit does hit the fan. We certainly came out of 2008 a lot better than nations that had near 0% interest rates. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidity_trapChoc said:

Never (well not now) going to happen. Maybe next year.
Verizon is the only American carrier it would make any sense for. AT&T only has LTE in 5 cities and Sprint doesn't even have a LTE network at all yet.
Fredescu said:
Just another Beach Boys? 99% of bands wish they could be 'just another Beach Boys'. The Beach Boys were amazing. Pet Sounds is one of the best albums ever. That reminded me of when vks was in a thread discussing music on the OT, and he just threw out a "Beach Boys suck" comment thinking it was the common stance towards them, and everyone just jumped on him like crazy, haha.
Anyway, this article explains my feelings: http://leadingusabsurd.com/?p=1626
I don't agree with his last statement, but overall I think he's right.
The problem is people act as if they were just a Backstreet Boys of the 60s for the first half of their career.
Please Please Me, With the Beatles, Help and A Hard Day's Night are all A+ albums, especially the last two.
As far as listenability goes, if you have any liking for pop music at all, they are all still listenable. Much easier to listen to than Chuck Berry's work, for example.
Anyway, rates staying up is great news for me. Means I can keep my 6.51% on my savings.

At some point you just have to start sacrificing time from other areas of your life, man

RAGE is creatively and mechanically bankrupt, but it sure is pretty

Much like Carmack?
So, just to sum up my seven plus hours with the game so far:
No story to speak of
No characters that make an impression
Linear
Broken save system
Dull mechanics
Tedious quests
Weak shooting
Stock weapons
Racing is fun
Minigames are enjoyable
Very pretty
We'll be testing on PC and playing multiplayer in the coming days, but I felt it was important to share what the game is versus what people expect it to be. This is a massive disappointment.
Verdict: Skip
Saw it coming like an elephant in an elephant picture!
Haha, so true, id is just... nothing now. Passed the hill, over the grave, one foot in the door.
