My 2c regarding the expensive food thing - my other half had wanted to go to Tetsuyas for years, I eventually caved and we made a booking (had to book three months ahead).
I think the meal ended up costing around $600 for the two of us (eleven course degustation was about $200 a head plus matching wines about $90 a head) but it was worth every cent. Everything about the night was amazing and special - in particular was worried that I would be uncomfortable in such a swanky place but the staff there are amazing, made me feel really comfortable. Asked us at the beginning of the night if there was any food we didn't like as they will tailor the menu to your taste. The food itself was incredible, much more an experience than a meal.
That was more than a year ago and I can still remember every single course and what it tasted like. Fantastic stuff.

I think analog sticks are a poor substitute for a mouse. A touchpad is a better substitute for a mouse.jambo said:

Another nice touch was at the end of the night they give you a printed copy of the menu to take home, customised for what you ate and drank, and with the date and a personalised message depending on the occasion (happy anniversary etc).

I can completely understand eating for the experience as it is the same as going away for a holiday. Making an event out of it makes it worthwhile and the idea of going to a revolving restaurant for a birthday or something is a great idea. I was talking more about restaurants that have a regular menu of $40 meals without having anything worth paying that extra bit for. Last banquet we had at a seafood place in Torquay and it was a great experience. Wouldnt do it too often though with the cost involved.
I had an 11 course menu thingo here a week or so back: http://www.kobejones.com.au/sydney/ and it was awesome, but the thing I felt was lacking was having a print out of the menu. The background music is fairly loud too (which is great if you're taking a baby, no one minds if he cries because they can't hear it!), so it was hard to ask the staff what it was. They had a little feedback card at the end of the night, so I was sure to write that on it.BanShunsaku said:
We went there mostly because we got vouchers from Spreets. Was an absolute bargain at $77/head.

Which is how MH fans like it, apparently.
My point is that using a touchpad to aim is much the same as using a trackball - you get more accuracy, but it takes some getting used to if you've never tried it before.

I think that has more to do with the size of the system than anything else. It's possible that a right analog would have hurt your hands just as much, depending on the size of your hands and the placement of the stick.Fredescu said:

I'm sure, if this rumour is actually true, that Nintendo has some design in mind that will make it comfortable. I'll still assume it's not happening for now, though. Yes, Famitsu is trustworthy, but... we can still hope.
I shall also hope that, if it is true, they'll release the redesign in orange and purple and the other colours many of us seriously want. That would mean I'd have no problem at all double-dipping

Thankfully a second gorup member stepped in. "It's like world of warcraft. Yknow those people who live in those virtual worlds."
Thank god they put in some time researching shit.

They have them so often that I assume they build them into the prices. After we went, there was another one available the next day. For $155 I'm not sure that the meal we had would be totally worth it, there were a couple of items that weren't that great, like Tempura vegetables, but hell 9 of the courses were awesome.commanderdeek said:
They seem to specialise in Wagyu and Alaskan crab, so maybe you didn't get the best stuff. Only two of the courses we had were some variation on sushi.commanderdeek said:

Was this girl Japanese? Because I can hear the squeaky cutesy voice in my head as she hesitates.Aon said:

It has extra shoulder buttons and (presumably) an extra battery for all that juice it'll suck in. Classic Controller Pro 3DS edition, by the looks of it.

OT, (but I think someone mentioned ASoIaF recently) are there any Wheel of Time fans on AusGAF? I've only recently started reading the series (midway through book 2) but so far loving it. I know they apparently slow down after a few books but wow so far so good!
Video Games! Books!

Depends, does the company that owns the material still get your money? If so, yes.jambo said:

Circumventing region restrictions with hacks, mods and workarounds is illegal in some places. If you mod your console, but only play imports you bought yourself, I don't think you're doing anything wrong.jambo said:
