PS. Everyone needs to see Love the Beast about Eric Bana and his XB Falcon. It's pretty awesome.
Finally got around to seeing it last week or so ago, it is brilliant.

Edit: Cunty sounds delicious!

Hahaha you can see the moment when he almost sharts himself. I'm guilty of jumping like a fool and failing wildly when I've had spiders on me, though.

And Battleshots looks amazing. If we ever have an Australia-wide AusGAF meetup that should start proceedings.

Oh, I also remember when Bana totaled his car in Targa Tasmania. D'oh.

4 Corners tonight is pretty depressing.

I know there's 'worse' poverty in the world in the Horn of Africa for example, but it's giving a strong indication that the Great Depression or an equivalent experience is on the verge of being matched for a lot of people, especially in the UK and US.

No one's offering red card odds on the A-League tonight

I can't bet but those who can if you can find it, a red card tonight is a given

so anyone get rich from my prediction ;) Told you!

The first time I saw this I thought it was fucking awesome but then I had a thought.
I've never played the real board game, just online so I don't know how it works IRL but there's a reference point to where you hit their battleship no? In battleshots how would you know where to keep hitting unless you remembered the grid references very well

Knowledge of how they do it in the real battleship game would probably eradicate this thought.

On the table you see they have markers. There's a red one on the left hand side. It also corresponds to the empty shot glass in the right players aircraft carrier.

edit: it's actually out by one place, which makes me assume this is round 2 and theyve already played and downed quite a few shots. :p

Way we used to play battleship was you put a yellow peg for a hit and a white peg for a miss, so you know where you've fired at.
 
Spent the afternoon watching Blade Runner. Would make me very excited downstairs if 2K follow up Mafia 2 with a Blade Runner title using the same engine. What is that team up to these days anyway?

Also the fun in drinking games is being able to see the punishment as it unfolds, like in beer pong or kings cup. Making it a random guessing game would quickly get boring. Still havne't found any drinking game more fun than beer pong. Well, maybe arsehole if you have a group of really drunk, funny people.

I never played the BR game (from Westwood?) that came out a while back... I fear it wouldn't have dated well.

Rather than that, I'd like to see a return of the Tex Murphy franchise, put into a high-profile game and not some half-arsed attempt to cash in on a loved classic. Like DE3, I guess (that I still haven't played, FML) as opposed to Syndicate which seems to have strayed far from it's roots. Shit, I think I even mentioned that it would be a good fit for the LA Noire engine. Restrictive but very much a noire detective thriller set in the not-too-distant future. Maybe even an "origins"-esque story (like DE3 is... afaik).

I got caught out on play asia yesterday. All the facebook plugin tags show customers who 'liked' the site.

One guy's profile had his cock flopped out. >.<

That's one reason why I'll never ever use facebook.

You get banned from Facebook for having that as your picture, like you would here. So using that as an argument is eh.

Pretty sure that would get reported to a mod straight away.
Edit: Oh. Well I have a few 'friends' that have drug related profile pics on Facebook and they still haven't been taken down. Not to mention my cousins who are like 12 and have drunk pictures of themselves up. Yeah. I should probably have a chat to my Uncle at some point about maybe tightening the reins a bit.

Facebook needs GAF mods to cull the herd. But I get the feeling 99.9% of facebook users would be banned for the shit that goes on there if some decent standard was employed.

So is GMG probably the cheapest place to get Arkham City for PC? What with it not appearing on the Steam store yet and all.

Don't forget it has been delayed. :(
But yes GMG should be cheapest. I got it for $28 when taking into account the $5 credit, 15% off for pre-order and another 20% discount coupon they had at the time.
November is such a long time away. :(

Cheapest is probably ebay sellers selling the free keys they got from buying a new graphics card.

Don't think it's Steamworks though, if that matters.

I'm sorry but Blade Runner is one of the worst movies I've ever seen, I love the cinematography with the sci-fi noir setting but the story/typical 80s bad graphics/stupid love interest/most of the setting just doesn't do it for me.

I also didn't like the ending how the used the unused Shining footage of the mountains. Doesn't fit with the movie at all.

1/10.

That's why you watch the superior Final Cut.

It's actually shit trolling. Because it's obvious. Speaking of that, did anyone see the Portal 2 vs Ico thread in Gaming? Without a doubt one of the worst threads I have seen on NeoGAF.

Is that a YT thing they do? Entire playthrough or just a quick run? Anyway, on the topic of playthroughs (kinda), here's a GB quick look at Amped 3... that goes for almost an hour. It has all the cutscenes in it and about 3min of gameplay. I'd forgotten how dead-set hilarous most of the FMV was in it. Great game.

Still, I reckon a white one will look pretty boss with one of these on the back (which I originally bought for the 4 I never followed through with, hopefully it fits the 4S):

Different enough from everyone else's white 4/4S, anyway.

Jintor beat me to it, but you clearly watched the worst version of it. Thankfully, I was lucky enough to see the HD remaster when it was shown at a theatre in Melbourne a few years back. 4K Blade Runner looked fucking AMAZING. More than justified buying a copy of the HD

Blade Runner box set.

So you're getting an unlocked iphone without a plan? what are you going to do for data and calls/texts?
Telstra pre-paid. $30 a month gets me around 1-1.5gb data (depending on how I spend my Telstra credit, whether I choose $30 of browse packs or a combination of browse/MMS) and $200 worth of calls/SMS. No plan and if I want a 5 when it comes out, I can sell the 4S without having to worry about unlocking etc. Warranty straight from Apple, too.

Sounds pretty good to me but according to this page from telstra 1gb is $39 per month for pre-paid customers unless I'm missing something.

On a $30 Cap+ plan you get 500mb by default. If you want, after that you can drop $30 on a $10 and $20 plan to give you an extra 900mb, or do what I do (as an occasional MMSer) and spend $20 on 700mb and $10 for 25 MMSes (or thereabouts).

Beauty of it is is that when dropping cash on a Cap+ plan, you get some data, call/SMS credit *and* $30 to spend on those packs. Plus you're on the Telstra network, which is pretty boss. Shit, if I went up to a $40 prepaid I'd have $510 call credit, 1gb included data AND $40 credit to spend on more packs like additional data, MMSes or whatever.

Cribs the ideas and landscape but takes it in a more fun, energetic direction. I want a dreary dystopia, after all everyone wants to make a better life offworld not be stuck in the shithole that is Earth. Actually Remedy could pull it off too since it would give them a nice basis for a game that I would enjoy even if it turned out like Alan Wake (biggest disappointment of my adult life 4/10).

Yeah I read the OP and said to myself it isn't worth the effort to argue as the OP obviously had a decent point but went about it in a really fucking stupid manner. They will regret it in a month once both games settle in their head a bit because most of the 'flaws' they talk about in Ico come through being too engrossed in another gameworld (ironically Portal 2 should have had the same suspension of belief problems but the OP didn't seem to mind). Shagg made the thread worth reading at least.

Here is a Lets Play but I couldn't find the youtube one I watched a few years back.

Man Amped 3 was so much fun. Aside from trying to get all the gold medals. There was one timed collectathon that was so bloody frustrating. Never did get 100%

Also how much is the new iPhone outright? I can't imagine ever buying a phone. On the $59 cap with Optus but if I held out another month I could have got it on a $45 one with Vodaphone which would have been an even better deal.

Prices am here, cuz. Normally I wouldn't get a phone outright, but seeing as I have some money to spare *and* I might be interested in a 5 if it comes out next year, it's cheapest for me to stick to Telstra prepaid and buy it outright... end up saving a few hundy.
