Does this have to do with my link?

I'm not sure what you're referring to.

Oh Na nothing to do with the link, PALGN and all the guys there are great. Funny story actually while waiting in like at the E3 to get in out of all the thousands of people there who do you think we're standing behind? :lol

You guys, I'll just say this and draw what conclusions you want.

It's amazing how pathetic some people can be, I mean it really is. Also some people's levels of professionalism in the local website scene astound me too. It's truly unbelievable.


what are you talking about?

Who?

By the way, next eGames expo in Melbourne, we need to do a GAF meet up I think.

PALGN >_> That's who :lol

Yeah I'll be there, it's a bit earlier this year.

And I'm not saying anymore on the previous matter.

How much earlier?

It's normal like 1st or 2nd week of November.

As to the ORIGINAL issue. What are you talking about? You can't bring that up randomly, and leave us with blue balls.

Did you break an NDA or something with your previous comment, then other sites picked it up?

I treat GAF like walking on glass. Don't say anything you don't want broadcasted to thousands of people. Because everything said here is doing just that.

I'm guessing someone saw that price, asked Nintendo about it and said Vooks told them or something, and now he's on the shitlist.

But yeah I wouldn't say anything here.
 
Oh na Nintendo have never come to me on anything like that (even when I got wind of new DS colours and the Nintendogs release date like 4 months before it was out - yes I break all the big news). Actually no they came to me once when my Google Ads had links to DS piracy stuff, infact I got a letter from a Price Waterhouse Coopers lawyer who was representing the a company saying that my site had links to roms and piracy and that unless I take em down I'll get my ass sued. Again that was about Google ads.

And I'm far from Nintendo's shitlist (even though I keep them in check ;) Infact because my site got a DSi from them for review and we take our news more seriously (but not overly) then some other sites I get attacked personally.

No they don't attack my site, just me personally. That's what that is about. I mean it's not the site in question doing it, but people on it.

Have spoken to the admin, who I am amicable with and got it removed. The members might think there is this war but we're mates.

In other news: Ghostbusters for Wii/360/DS in November >_>

Anyone know how I can download the 20 year special of Media Watch? Their website doesn't seem to have it.

Hmm is it on the Media Watch podcast? I've just been watching bits of it.
 
No, it's not on the podcast feed unfortunately. I assumed it would be, but it's currently only available via Streaming.

No offence but I didn't think someone as small time as yourself would get invited to E3.
 
I wish i wasn't so lazy.

Today is the last day JB will have the matrix ultimate collection on bluray for $99 :lol .

Who wants to sell me some motivation!

I'd probably just buy the first Matrix and leave it at that.

... not very motivating, sure. But there's better shit to waste money on. Like the Die Hard collection. :D

Sure. Is there a die hard bluray collection set yet? Maybe i will get that too :lol . Would be sweet if there was a beverly hills cop collection too.

Damn those late 80s / 90s action movies kicked some ass.

Oh look the troll is back.

And anyone can go to the E3 (well could) as long as you got some form website, smaller sites then myself have even gone.

Pretty sure I've seen one at JB. All 4 movies from memory.

Yep I've got all the Die Hard movies on Blu, although the 4th one isn't the uncut one like on DVD... but I got that too.

BHC isn't on Blu yet.

Really? That's disappointing. It was getting towards the top of the list. Might get it anyway, I haven't seen the 4th one, not really that interested tbh. :D

Dude it doesn't make me a troll because I'm not on my knees praising Nintendo (in more ways than one), I type what I believe and I'm not about to kiss up to any jerks. Sure maybe sometimes I go for the bite but that hardly makes me a troll.

That aside though your post pleases me, I might have to start a website....

no one wants to read anything you write, don't bother.
 
Who got warm and fuzzy when they started talking about Australia in the latest 1up yours? Sure we don't have it as good as other places when it comes to videogames, but hearing the way thee guys talk about us really made me glad to live in this country.

Edit: Legend there is no need to start another argument with me, kindly take a seat, champion. Sure I'll win but I don't want to get banned again.
 
Banned or not, you're going to have a hard time convincing the contributors here that your thoughts and opinions are relevant, simply going by your less-than-stellar track record.

And should I really care? It's a fucking videogame forum and I free to fucking post how I feel about videogames.

Christ has anyone even read the argument where I was banned? I stated my opinion and then someone wanted to argue about why it was wrong. I cut him down and he had no rebuttal, fortunately for him I was soon after banned.

So make no mistake, I'm not here to start a career or get to the top of anyones most loved list, and I could not give a fuck less about how much you care about the relevance of my opinion, I'm here to post about videogames.

you haven't said anything video game related in your last few posts in this thread today.

New cricket game coming out by Codemasters (developed by a new AU team @ Transmission Games). That will be out for the Ashes as it is called Ashes Cricket 2009.

EA also has a Cricket 2009 game coming out later this year.

I'm hoping for an EA-developed cricket venture, mainly for the reason that EA Sports have thrown their support behind MotionPlus, and higher-fidelity motion controls are a must for a cricket game.
 
I don't check this thread for a day and it almost self-destructs. :lol

Internet arguments are the dumbest kind of arguments, if only because most of the time you're arguing against someone who clearly doesn't "get it".

(Such as our good friend, igotnewsuper8 systemWRONG!)

Vook isn't punch out coming out in May

That's the Euro date

surely nintendo australia isn't screwing us worse then Nintendo Europe

Btw their PR is a complete joke right now............

I have worked on many many publications and dealt with them but putting Cosmopolitan and Cleo over CORE FUCKING GAMER MAGAZINES AND SITES is a joke

Nintendo has lost the plot.

Na man I know it doesn't have a date (May was just a guess by me), well Nintendo Australia probably have one but they haven't told anyone yet. It is complete bullshit, they do it so if they have to delay they don't look bad but come on - you're Nintendo, it's your own damn company. Get with it - This is still my #1 beef with Nintendo Australia - they don't like giving their fans anything to look forward too.

I recently read on Kotaku AU that David Wildgoose went to the DSi launch and him and about two other gaming publications were there that's about it :/
 
No idea just yet. Figured it'd give me enough of a challenge to do something with my life outside of roaming aimlessly in between University majors, plus it seems to be in my blood to either work in hospitality industry or become part of the military.
 
Definitely recommend the military over hospitality, having done both! Haven't served in the Aussie military though, so I don't know exactly what it's like, but they seem to be throwing money at people right now. Friend of mine just got out of the army, he reckoned it was great, but he was a cook. Do you want a combat or technical role?
 
I'm thinking I'd be aiming towards a more technical role however I wouldn't shirk back at a combat position. My uncle served in the army for a handful of decades and my mother is heading over to Dubai to visit him for awhile so I'm going to grab his number and talk to him over it and see what he suggests.

I know what you mean to an extent, I finished uni last year and I just don't feel like doing any sort of actual day job. while I haven't seriously contemplated military work there have been brief periods where I have thought it would be a good idea (though it would take time away from gaming). Also I figure since I have a degree I might be able to start out higher than a grunt. I might start going to the gym.

All I can suggest then is go talk to a recruiter, and see if they can offer you any thing concrete that appeals to you. Any reason you are looking at the Airforce over the other services?
