So uh, get this.
After 80 hours of not being ported, I spent an hour on the phone with Telstra. After listening to some apologetic shrugging (including an interesting couple of minutes where it looked like they had no record me having a phone at all) I asked to be put through to the porting department. I spend half an hour on hold, before some guy answers and abruptly tells me that the porting department closed hours ago. I go ape shit at the poor bastard and he hangs up on me.
I call the complaints department and the woman was very courteous and (according to the wife) managed to calm me down quickly. While I was talking to her the 4S connects to Telstra.
All good, right?
FUCK no.
The 4S is connected...but so is my old 3GS. They're both still connected, and they're both capable of making calls from the same number. Dialling my number from another phone makes the 3GS ring, not the 4S. Shouldn't the 3GS with Optus stop working?
And my other new phone hasn't ported over yet, despite the fact they're on the same account.
WTF AAAAAAGH

Best Solution: Cancel your contracts with Telstra without fee since they aren't giving you the service you expected. Clear your Optus contract so the phone is deactivated. Walk back into Telstra and get a fresh new plan, with your newly deactivated number.
Or just burn that motherfucking place to the ground.

No one deserves a country. I'd like to get one in return for something I did but I can't imagine what you have to do to get one.roosters93 said:
At least not a classy one like this. This is some gourmet country, right here.
Truth be told, I don't quite get your response. Maybe I'm not showing you enough respect by knowing I'm being made fun of...
Aww I always liked markot's posts.

Mafia 2 certainly has frame rate issues on 360, even with it installed. The cut-scenes run horribly. Textures still look pretty great aside from the jaggies of course. Combat is still awesome.

Why the hell would you do that to yourself man! If you aren't feeling it then what is the point? To feel like you got your moneys worth? No value in doing something you don't want to.Bernbaum said:

On a slightly related note, while channel surfing tonight I came across a poll that can of worms had done: 33% of Australians polled think that people who don't watch sport are unaustralian. Welp, better go pack my bags then.

lol that is the point! Roll it out to quiet little places that won't make a lot of fuss if things don't start off well. Also less people, less load, less likely the whole thing will collapse on itself and be a further PR disaster. I would expect the big vote wining suburbs will have the NBN roll out around election time just to maximise the policy.evlcookie said:

You're having a hard time with Telcos, so here is something I found that might make you feel better.

So I was up at 3am because my body clock is crazy, so I updated my blog. It's topical now.

Just checked to see if the Central Coast was getting any NBN love, it seems that Gosford and Long Jetty are being upgraded within 12 months. Dammit, I'm not close enough to the Gosford exchange, which means I'm stuck on ADSL1 for the foreseeable future

Arkham Asylum GOATSE is on sale for $10 on Steam if anyone doesn't own it. I played it through on 360 originally so it will be good to have another run through once I'm done with Arkham City. Arkham City is still awesome BTW. So much goodness in one game!

In all honesty, if I love my experience with Arkham Asylum on PC, I'll probably double dip on PC version of Arkham City. I love these games so damn much.
Hahaha, I thought markot's post was funny. Am I misreading it? People seem to be horrified. He's basically making a joke about Germany and their history of war. Since when was that a taboo subject? People make jokes about Australia being racist or America being stupid all the time.
Also, can anyone recommend Lego Batman?

Got it for free with one of my 360's, played for about 10 minutes. Seems like decent fun, would be good to play some co-op with younger relatives or the gf, but definitely not a must buy.

Nows not the time to tell you that mine ported to TLS in 5 seconds. But i've heard that Optus are dicks when it comes to porting and hold it back because they don't want to let yo ugo
don't deactivate your number, it puts it back in the pool for others to use and you cannot get it back.

So, I wanted a deal to buy Arkham Asylum and now Steam one for $10. Should I or should I just keep watching this Let's Play where the guy knows how to play and get all the Joker things.
Argh!
Argh!
