Did anyone watch Good News World last night?

Basically an hour of the Good News Week team hanging shit on the Gover
n[/spoilr]ment with Cal Wilson, Tom Gleeson and Akmal yelling inbetween.

Awful, only got 590,000 in the ratings in its first night.

It's Tasmania, man. Nowhere to run off to.

I dunno how it'll turn out. Mother's buying a house up in Brighton, we're selling our current house and businesses... No idea where my father will end up but I'll have to stick with him because uni. Also my father's parents have both passed away so he doesnt have any other close relatives in Tas.

I'd love to take this opportunity to get my own apartment or something, but font have the money to do so. Have 13 grand in the bank, but no income.

Will probably have to find a job. Don't think my dad makes enough to pay bills + living for us both. No idea what'll happen with my sister, either.

Fun times ahead.

It's good you're in Tasmania, because a situation like this in Sydney would certainly lead to a big move due to horrible housing pricing. Hopefully you can find something affordable not too far away.

Sorry to hear about it Kritz. I know from experience it's a really sucky thing to go through.

Saw 10 minutes of awful awful awful awful awful sketches. Turned off. Don't think I've watched Good News Blank in several years, instantly remembered why.

The Hey Hey effect. People think they loved GNW but in reality it was pretty meh. My gf can stand watching that crappy Can Of Worms show but even she switched over from GNW after about 20 mins saying how shit it was.
Bit worried that my memories of the Glasshouse being great are actually just romanticised.

Also screw you 4000 word assignment, I want to play de3 :(

Also DQX pay-to-play after a few hours? Sounds like a monthly MMO to me. Maybe we can get some Dolphin servers up and running!

It was so bad. Not sure why they decided to change the format from Good News Week. The whole doing things in skits was awful and not one bit funny.

Good News Week was decent (the ABC period is still the superior of the two) and as far I know was actually rating quite well.

The current GNW on Ten started in 2008 and run up until earlier this year when Ten suddenly stopped showing it. So no, not the Hey Hey effect.

I was meaning that when it came back on my friends and I were super hyped for it then realised that we didn't actually like it, we had just romanticised our youth. Which lead to most people I know going from "I can't wait for GNW to be on again!" to "Get that crap off the TV and put something else on".

EDIT: The Myer sale that keeps on giving!!! Kinect + Kinect Adventures for $99 free postage!!!

On futher analysis it seems like CDkeysHere and Cdkeysdirect are the same website down to the same layout, prices and number of games.
Pretty sure they're not. They all use similar layouts but I could almost guarantee they're different sites. If it makes no difference to you, use CDKH. If they go out of their way to take a photo of a CD case than just send you a serial, all the more likely it'll work IMO.

I'm pretty sure it really was better when it was on the ABC. Less B-grade celebs doing the show because they have something to flog and more people who were actually interesting/smart. And that blonde woman who's the head of the team that Mikey Robbins isn't on. Holy HELL she is so unbelievably unfunny.

Edit: If you don't get a Kinect at that price, you're a moron. Even if you just use it for voice commands down the track, it'd be worth it.

Can it understand our foreign tongue yet? I would have never thought it would be so hard to understand our accent when there are so many Americans with different styles of accents.

Not yet, I just have hopes they'll have it ready for when the new dash comes out (whenever that is). Still, even if you only get one or two games for it, it's worth it IMO. Find a copy of Child of Eden and think of it as a peripheral just for that game.

Man, I reviewed that game (Eden) and I don't have a copy yet :T

Just never got around to it.

/edit damn you Doctor, messing up my non-named referencing!

I didn't mind it, but sketch wise what annoyed me was the piles and piles of Underbelly and Master Cheif sketches.
 
That sucks Kritz. Hope you're ok dude.

God damn it, I was reading through the Space Marine OT, and someone linked to a warhammer40k.wikia page, and now I have 8 of them open, and I'm planning on reading them all. For something I'm not ever going to get into beyond the occasional game, I find it ridiculously cool.

Also I just saw Horrible Bosses, it was good. Not amazing. But fairly amusing. I feel like Charlie Day was just Charlie from Always Sunny-lite. It would have been better if he was just Charlie.

so Sydney has some of the most expensive housing in the world and what does the Premier do?

remove the stamp duty exemption for first home buyers under $500,000

It's removed unless you're building a new house, theoretically increasing supply, theoretically dropping prices. Also, potentially dropping prices of established stock as it attempts to compete against new homes.

Fred you know as much as i do that is not going to happen in Sydney.

It's obvious he is trying to do that, but it is not going to work.

Why not? It happened in reverse when they increased the FHOG.

Having a look at the cosplay thread, I think I've decided that I want to go as one dressed as the guy from Typing of the Dead.

Would be super easy and kick SO much arse. Shit, might even do it for Halloween.

The bombshells are starting to hit in de;-3 now which is awesome.
 
Whoa, waitwaitwait.

There was a Viva Pinata animated series?

(This is not related to the above Viva pictures/talk. I just saw 3 DVDs at my video store)

Did I order them from Zavvi? I think so... got them a day apart.

Gotta say, it's cool to see a few familiar names in the credits. Namely Gaz, ClivePwned and Neogaf.com! Surely they mean AusGAF, but whatever.

Edit: Yes Jase, there is! I actually have one or two episodes from XBL that were free to download in HD. Actually, I may have deleted them as a result of only having 20gb at the time... but they were actually quite entertaining. Probably worth watching if you enjoy the IP.

Good News Week is awful.
 
Yeah, reset everything. No luck :(

When a single device is connected, it seems to work okay. As soon as multiple devices start connecting, it starts rebooting every few minutes. This started out of the blue last weekend.

Indeed. Sorry to hear Kritz, hope you come through okay. In other news, my grandmother died last week. She was my last living ancestor :( Boo, death.

It's a weird feeling.

Anyway.

How about that local sports team?!

Because you didn't ask, silly.

Demi asked me to include a picture of Franklin Fizzlybear with a love heart above his head as a gamer picture, so I asked our lead concept artist to draw a picture of Franklin Fizzlybear with a love heart above his head for a gamer picture. Then after the game came out I changed my gamer picture to a picture of Franklin Fizzlybear with a love heart above his head.

VIDEOGAMES

Also, thanks Choc, had a feeling you were on the receiving end of that email too :)

I am enjoying the new job very much, thanks everyone who asked, but I am completely wiped out. Who wants to draw Funny Webcomic this week? :)

Hey if we are compairing our tragities to be assholes, the one I posted in the first page I think should be up there.
 
Toured Edo Castle's grounds, visited a maid cafe, picked up Tecmo Super Bowl (boxed) for 20 yen and played with a Virtual Boy at Super Potato. Today was a pretty good day.

Also posted my Twitter details in the first few pages of this thread if someone would care to update the list.
