So, EB Expo. Was it worth it or not?

Didn't go this year, wondering if I should regret that.

Also interested in this! I was down at broadbeach sunday with girlfriend. We were wondering why it was so busy, i completely forgot eb expo was on until i saw people walking around with posters and a bunch of chicks in alienware t-shirts.

How did you guys go? How was the meetup?

ps. Gaz does this affect you?

not yet but indy cars have never been redesigned when people die

where as F1 cars always are. It's also interesting to note that the FIA does not regulate the design of the cars like F1, only the tracks.


For example Massa would have died in his crash before Senna. The exact same thing happened to massa as senna and he survived. Not through luck, through changes to the cars.

Indy cars are also doing 200+mph a few metres from walls, doesn't really help.

If the exact same thing happened, how can Massa surviving be put down to changes to the car? ;)

And it wasn't exactly the same. Massa got hit on the helmet by a piece of suspension from Barrichello's car and then hit a barrier.

Senna hit the wall and the force of the crash threw a piece of his own suspension up, which penetrated his skull after going through his helmet. He also died at the scene.

They made instant changes to the track at San Marino, but the safety changes took about 6 years to come in to effect (adoption of the HANS device).

Why does Brundle always say when talking about it, it was the same as Senna's?

ok first thing. That's a NZ based referee

2nd thing, that is quite frankly the worst red card i thin ki have ever seen. Wasn't even a yellow to be honest.

there were two players @ least covering the man with teh ball as well as the player that fould him

i mean what

thats a disgrace. Double yellow was a joke as well.

Maybe because it was very similar. And Brundle isn't the be all and end all of Formula 1.

Massa surviving doesn't automatically prove that the safety improvements worked. They've definitely improved the safety when the cars roll and flip, but there's never much you're going to be able to do about flying debris and chunks of the car coming off.

Hey guys a few questions. Which is a better deal. EB games have Uncharted 3 special edition for $108 with a few preorder bonuses as well as a Nathan Drake replica ring.

GAME have the standard edition for $98 with a $30 PSN card. I really want the steelbook, but $30 PSN card! Please help.

Also how is GAME's online store. Quick and reliable?

Kerrby's parents must have left him alone at home, otherwise there is no reason for someone to eat ice cream for breakfast.

maybe check the expiry date

Damn that is a great deal. Wish I hadn't already bought 2 $30 cards from HN for 10% off.

I made a few orders from GAME last year and they were super quick. One arrived overnight and the others were 4-5 days at most. That is to Geelong. They also send them registered post so you need someone to sign for them at the door.

Also any chance of us getting the awesome figure edition? Would buy for $130 or so.

Thanks for that. Now just to decide. I really want a steelbook, and the only good thing from EB is the replia ring, but im sure none of it is worth $30. Oh man i hate this bulshit, lol.

I've got the UC2 Steelbook and I'm at the point now where I wish I just got the regular edition so I could put a custom case in it. Especially since UC1 is just a regular case. Plus the bonus stuff with the steelcase isn't worth the extra money. The ring would be nice though. The PS3 cover looks garbage. I JUST WANT TO FONDLE A NATHAN DRAKE FIGURE.

Yeah my stomach is pretty fucked :/.

I found some Ice Magic too and was shaking it at the ice cream but it was all blobbed up and stuck inside the bottle. That's been there longer than the ice cream :lol.

Okay, I'm going in. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!!!!

I normally put the Ice Magic bottle in the microwave for 10 seconds with the cap open.

Looking through the keyboard thread in Gaming got me thinking about maybe upgrading from my ancient gen 1 G15

I've got a a Razer Blackwidow but would recommend getting something else.

The Leopold and Das Keyboards look nice on PCCG. Also, the new Corsair K60 looks pretty good, but don't think it's available here yet.

Oh shit, the iPhone that my partner dropped in the toilet on Saturday was left in a container with rice to dry, and now it bloody works... Only thing is the sim card slot isn't sitting entirely flush, maybe it warped a little with the water and heat? Pretty amazing.

Any Apple outlet or does it have to be a fully-fledged Apple one? I suppose I could go pretty much anywhere that sells them outright, but I can't be fucked looking TBH. I just want to bitch and moan that it hasn't been sent yet ;)
