Thirties are awesome. You get to look at all those twentysomethings and wonder how you could have ever been that stupid. Also, wine and olives become nice.

Wine and olives are already nice. Am I old? :(

What is everyone's favourite COD mission?

Mine would be the first mission in the Russian campaign when you get off the boat and run up the hill with nothing but a rifle cartridge in your hand. So cool.

Ah yeah the Enemy at the Gates missions. So good! :D

This seems really cheap for a 27" monitor but i don't have the knowladge to know if it is good or not, thanks dudes!
As Jambo pointed out, it's a TN panel. At a panel of that size, I think you're really going to notice the poor viewing angles. It suggests you can sit back from it, but I think it will be an excercise in frustration as you'll constantly be getting up to readjust the angle as you won't be able to see half of the screen properly. It mightn't be so bad if you're sitting up close, but you might as well get a 24" if you're going to do that. If you want something that you can sit back from, get an IPS panel or a small TV.

It emerges that the applicant that the UQ VC and Deputy VC let in without adequate qualifications entered Medicine.

Scum. Cock-brained scum. And no finding of misconduct. PR entirely trumps academic ethics.


What was the link between VC and this student?

Absolutely disgusting, any type of favoritism, nepotism, etc. just makes my blood boil beyond belief. Not to mention all these VC's are making such ridiculous amounts of money a year. My friend worked in the admin department of a Melbourne university and said that in terms of applicants foreign students always took presidence over Australian students when it came to enrolement even if the australian student's application was of higher merit. The whole system is so geared towards making money its disgraceful
 
This will determine if you have good taste in games or not, name the 3 games you are anticipating the most between now and the end of the year. I better see some Skyrim love. :)

In no particular order:

A relative.

And somehow, this doesn't count as misconduct. Because the University can't bear to admit to itself and the world that Greenfield fucked up, it counts as "an irregularity" and Greenfield gets to simply resign. Well, gets to sit in the job until the replacement comes in.

Fuck him. Fuck them. Anybody else does this for a medicine degree applicant and they would be chewed into unrecognisable mush.

SR3, but only because it's the only game I've preordered. Any other need to play games can be found in my extensive backlog or Forza 4.

I had a dream too choc. Bus girl was there, we were sitting on the bus and she put her hand on my face to embrace it i guess, then as she exited the bus she said she was flattered. What does it mean!!

Let's get back to videogames.

So I picked up UC3 on friday night after work and then proceeded to not play it at all over the weekend and instead I played BF3. I think i'm just going to wait until the patch comes out for the aiming issues that people are having.

I'm tempted to pick up SR3 for $34 tonight since a few of the other PC guys are picking it up as well. I do have SR2 on my machine but i've never really bothered to play it. There's something about it that just irks me and I get the feeling SR3 will as well. Maybe it's the design, colour template or just the silly over the top gameplay it's trying to give you, part of me feels like it will just be a bore to play.

I have no interest in skyrim either. I will wait for a GOTY version unless everyone in here starts going on about how fucking amazing it is. Then i guess it will be a 15% off steam sale xmas purchase next month.

I still have Rage to play and finish along with Alice and Bastion. There's probably another game or two in there that I can't remember either. Then there's more shooting people in the face with Battlefield 3, Which i'm still enjoying even though shotguns are totally fucking worthless. Stalking tanks with C4 is my new method of play style and it's super enjoyable.

I need more time off.

Aiming thing is not that big of a deal in UC3 man. i have played through to chapter 9 on hard so far and had no real problems at all.
 
I almost bought a nice looking LG LED monitor at OfficeWorks for what seemed like a great price before realising it was 1440x900, if I get a new monitor I really want to go 1080 or higher. Would probably go Samsung for my next screen.

Whelp that should taint the reputation of Uni of QLD for a while. Certainly would put a little doubt of concern in my mind if I had to go to a doctor who graduated from there even though it would be a million to one shot that it wouldn't be all kosher for the situation I would be in.

I'm pretty FUCKING EXCITED for Friday. I'll probably only get an hour or so in before I go and blitz myself though :|
I know! By Friday I will have MW3 down pat to the point where I can do a Veteran run of the SP. Should be painfully gratifying

The aiming is fine after a few encounters, you will adapt quick enough. Otherwise if you REALLY don't like it put it to the side.

I can think of many problems but fun certainly isn't something missing from SR2 or by the looks of it SR3.

Saint's Row 3
Skyward Sword
Revelations, mostly out of curiousity.

I'm really hyped for UMvC3 but not for me, myself, to actually play it, more to watch other people streaming it. Fighting games (and Catherine) are just so much more enjoyable with commentary.

Haha no. It's too much of a joke now to be taken seriously. I wouldn't be able to stop laughing.

Any tips? I'm not very stealth so if I can even get to it without dying, I normally have to blow it up while I'm still in range. :/

Stay low and to the side and go go go. Don't go from behind or you will get run over, It always fucking happens. Just strafe next to it as it slowly moves, Throw on 3 C4s and then run off and press that blow up now button.

Also never throw C4 at a moving tank, It never fucking connects. It looks like it does but as soon as you detonate it, it's a suicide.

If you disable a tank and not blow it up the guy will always get out, So have your gun ready to quickly kill him before he kills you. Don't quickly throw a 3rd C4, there's a good chance you will be dead before you can detonate it.
 
with Skyward Sword and MW3 out over the next few weeks, I couldn't give a fuck about Skyrim at the moment. It will have to wait till the inevitable price drop. If it was Fallout, then I'd probably Day 1. AC Revelations will be another that I wait to get cheap (assuming it hasn't been fucked up. It's quite possible depending on which Ubi studio is handling this one). SR3 can also wait. I barely played the first, bought the 2nd on Steam and never played it (probably never will). And its a game by THQ so only a silly person/diehard SR fan would pay more than $30 for it (it will be $30 by February)

I still have several hours of UC3 and BF3 as well. I've found that I've enjoyed most of the 2011 crop of games

I'll still leave MW3 till later in the week. Doesn't Kmart or someone have the PC version for $69. It's GOD DAMN $99 on steam (though you get a CoD4 with it if you don't already have it). Isn't it also something like 15 GB?

I'm more hyped for Skyrim than Skyward Sword...don't know what that says about my tastes changing. Back in the day it would be Zelda all the way.

Still gotta play more BF3. Tried playing on Saturday when I was hungover and it didn't happen. Died 10 times and didn't get a single kill LOL.

Saints Row 3 looks kinda crazy I guess? But don't really care for those sorts of games.

Torchlight 2 if that is still planning on releasing this year

...and uh


rFactor 2 if that also decides to release this year.

Hmmm. Seems like a false alarm. Trusted dude on twitter claimed it broke. Maybe a couple of sold, but doesn't look like any of the main retailers will officially break.
 
Also is anyone really interested in Skyrim? After all, it is just a rip off of Fallout 3 with all the graphics stolen from Lord of the Rings. The dudes who did Fallout and Peter Jackson should totally sue whoever is making Skyrim.

See my earlier in the day post for where it is cheapest on PC.

Not interested in Skyrim simply because I have too many other games to play.. Not quite finished Arkham City, still have Battlefield 3 and MW3 to take up my time and I want to buy Uncharted 3 when I have the time to play it.. Besides my 3DS needs some love, it's kind of sad that it hasn't been touched in months when it has so much potential..
