Yeah Geelong lost their 2 years ago now.

Shit, was it 2 years ago? But remember they had two... the one in Corio Village stuck around a little while longer, IIRC. I re-bought The Saboteur on 360 for cheap there a while back (only cracked the seal on it the other day, though).

You are on the cool people party list too.

Fuck yeah, J&M RRDs all up in this bitch.

[Jintor]

Eat, did your twitter get hacked? Just got a suss dm.

[fappenmeister]

Bought a pack of the new Red Rock Deli corn chips without realising you'd all gone nuts about them. Went nuts about them. Jalapeno and Mature Cheddar! Also, going to the Mesopotamian exhibit with work soon, WOOHOO!

[Shaneus]

Jalapeno and Mature Cheddar RRD chips are almost the new Kooka's. Almost.

[reptilescorpio]

First teaser, which I assume is an announcement piece, will be attached to The Dictator.

HYPE HYPE HYPE!!!

Yeah Corio stuck around until I moved out to Lara but gave up the ghost :(

The one in town went bust about 12 months before it. Apparently there was meant to be one out here too but it never went through. I'm sure there was one in Mildura too but there isn't one there any more.

Also now I'm watching Beverly Hills Cop clips because of you!

[what's in a name]

I have some nintendo points from Donkey Kong Country Returns but it says they're only available to residents of the UK & Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Portugal and South Africa.

Does any one have any use for them?

[Yagharek]

Right.

So I just finished Ocarina of Time for the first time ever (3D, obviously).

I think I liked Skyward Sword more. But that's kind of because SS is clearly a 12 year refinement of the template. In the same way that most films these days allegedly borrow tropes established by Citizen Kane, it's dead clear to me that OOT is a landmark videogame which so many others I've played have since borrowed from and improved upon.

I reckon if I had played this game to completion in 1998, it would be impossible for anything else to come close to it (Water Temple aside). As it stands, playing it in 2012 is more akin to reading The Iliad in 2007 (I did this). It's been improved upon in terms of individual features, yet its undeniably a top tier classic that, as a whole, is nigh on untouchable.

///

So - in about 2010 I decided I was going to play through the "best of the best" (semi-using Edge's Top 100 as a guide) games that I had never done so. Resident Evil 4, Half Life 2 and now Ocarina of Time are under my belt and I feel so much better having finished them than I would do keeping up with the latest weekly fads in the interim.

I'm toying with the idea of playing through a few different classics now. Some titles I haven't really considered before. Might have to chew this over for a bit. Maybe Sin & Punishment 2 for an interlude will do nicely.

[reptilescorpio]

I will assume Final Fantasy 12 is next on your list to complete then? Great game but loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooong.

Also play Curse of Monkey Island instead.

[Jintor]

Serious Sam 3 is a fucking great game but its levels go on for fucking everrrrrrrrrrr. And the motion sickness is not helping any.

[Axiom]

I went into the relatively new Pakenham EB Games for Starlight week and when I was there one of the workers literally squealed and jumped in happiness when I pre-ordered Lollipop Chainsaw, and then informed me she was going to be Juliet in the store on Friday.

I ended up running into her again today randomly at the train station and she then informed me that she met another girl who'll be dressing as Juliet at the Pakenham EB.

Just for the record, Juliet wears a costume that got deemed too sexy for PAX.


So I guess I'm going back to EB on Friday.


Also Super Monday Night Combat is amazing, everyone play Super Monday Night Combat

Get her number or are you spoken for sir?

The shooting portions were shit, as was the sorry length. But the visuals and parkour bits were great.

[Jintor]

One of my favourite experiences of last gen or whatever. But, indeed, pity about the fighting. Actually it wasn't that bad in and of itself but it detracted so badly from the Parkour.

"last gen"

I hate that term. I know its people just categorising, but I can't help think that is also some derogatory term like an old game can't stand up to modern equivalents. Which is complete shit.

[codswallop]

Finding new people to hang out with is difficult, people have close bonds with other people spanning many years. Breaking into that is difficult, plus I don't get out a lot to meet many new people anyway.

Yeah, it's hard when you've had a close group of mates who are then either scattered in the wind or go off the deep end. When you're a kid you can become friends because you're both wearing a red jumper... doesn't go down so well as an adult.

anyways reptilescorpia-Mirrors Edge was the shit.

FTFY

My friends are like this. One got caught drink driving, did it stop him from continuing to do it at least once a week? Not at all. He doesn't drive sensibly home when drunk, he speeds and breaks road rules putting other drivers at risk.

When much younger, on my P plates, I drove home after a few too many a few times. Most would've been close to 0.05 (though the limit is obviously 0.00 when on Ps) but one time after a big night out, a mate and I walked home from a club, getting to my place at about 4am (after an hour walk since we detoured for 7-11 pies which is only ever a good idea when drunk, and not very good even then). We got in my car, put on the stereo, were suddenly at his house dropping him off, and then I woke up in bed. His girlfriend told me the next day that the car stereo was so loud it woke her up when we were halfway down the street, neither of us even noticed. Anyway I realised then that driving drunk was probably the dumbest thing I could ever do so stopped that practice then and there.

Game wasn't/hasn't actually been here for long. I'd say maybe only two or three years at the most. I think. At least, nowhere near as long as, say, EB or JB or Brashs.

Showing your age there, dude!

Not to rain on your cosplay parade but the outfit that the girl got booted out of PAX for wearing wasn't the lollypop chainsaw outfit. She was the lollypop chainsaw girl but was wearing something far more revealing than is in the game, if you can believe it. I'm sure you can google image it if you really want to see it.

[BananaArnie]

"Bro bro bro bro bro"
"oh yeah bro"

Fuuuuck me. Also this kitchen sucks.

She was wearing the preorder costume for the game, so he will have the pink jumpsuit. Also the standard cheerleader outfit is pretty hot as is. Also the game looks like a hell of a lot of fun so nice to see some people trying to drum up sales for it!

Also Mirrors Edge shits on any other DICE single player game ever. Combat was poor but everything else was top quality and still unique.

Also why would it be last gen? Still runs on current hardware.

[Jintor]

felt a little dirty using it, i won't lie

[codswallop]

Kotaku had an article up about it with photos of the girl in both outfits. IMO both outfits showed as much skin and cleavage as one another, but apparently the cheerleader one was fine. Go figure.

I don't. Gaf gets very quiet around 11, with all the Americans asleep as well.

And mirrors edge was great!

i'll just leave this here



edit: face unlock is really quite awesome

[Omi]

i'll just leave this here http://www.abload.de/img/untitled-8zjkh2.gif edit: face unlock is really quite awesome

Is a great goal hey.

Also face unlock. Took photo of self last night, emailed to wife and unlocked my phone showing pic on her iPhone screen. :P

[Salazar]

PAPISS

Thrilled for him.

[legend166]

I can't believe how big Activision's marketing budget must be for BLOPS 2.

Running TV advertisements 6 months out from release. Seems a bit nuts.

[Kritz]

I am going to see Avengers tonight. Should I see Captain America before going? I already have it ready to watch, but after Thor I'm wondering if anything except for the Iron Man films were any good.

[reptilescorpio]

They will be hoping to set a record for preorders to use in lead up marketing. Great idea and it should sell gangbusters.

[FallbackPants]

Holy shit this is my new favourite gif. RUM HAM!

Don't bother. I haven't seen any Marvelverse movies at all and it was a fucking blast.

Kinda want to see Iron Man though.

[FallbackPants]

Man you didn't like Thor? It was rad, as was Captain America.
But Jint is right you don't need to see any before hand.

[markot]

Outside of the X Men univsere, Marvel have the worst super heroes (More like ZEROES) ever.

[jambo]

Serious Sam 3 is a fucking great game but its levels go on for fucking everrrrrrrrrrr. And the motion sickness is not helping any.

Co op! :D

This has to happen!!!

[Jintor]

They're pretty cinematic heroes though

[Yagharek]

My god.



bonus:

[codswallop]

Also face unlock. Took photo of self last night, emailed to wife and unlocked my phone showing pic on her iPhone screen. :P

Face unlock is shit. Try using it once the sun has gone down in a darkish room. And yes, very easy to fool.

[Omi]

Even in a darkish room it seemed to work ok my my ugly mug. That said, it slowed the whole unlock process down rather than sped it up. Disabled now.

[markot]

Yeah, its pretty stupid.

I just swipe.

Even the more secure stuff like pin and that gesture thingy is a thousand times better/faster than face unlock.

Its one of those 'hey lets try this out!' things that last 2 minutes, kinda like 'face unlock' on laptops and what not.

[ClivePwned]

Well mild spoilers
But if youre not really into the comics...

iron man sets up iron man and pepper potts , agent coulson
Iron man 2 sets up black widow and samuel l jackson, and teases thor
Thor sets up the characters for thor and loki, teases Hawk and introduces Selvig and the photo of natalie portman
Captain America sets up captain and the maguffin for the Avengers (the thing they're looking for
The hulk movies set expectations for the hulk so low that you will be standing in your seat cheering in hulk scenes.




If you really wanted to get in the mood for the movie play galaga

[shanshan310]

But you forgot about the best superhero, Spiderman!

You're old.

Jalapeno and Mature Cheddar RRD chips are almost the new Kooka's. Almost.

So they're overrated? NO

*drink driving yarn*

The worst I've done so far is driving home from parties the morning after. Not drunk but obviously not zero BAC like needed for P platers.

I finally got my first RBT the other week after driving for 2-3 years. I didn't even have to blow on the tube just count out loud in front of the device. I didn't even know that was a thing.

i'll just leave this here edit: face unlock is really quite awesome

hax

I am going to see Avengers tonight. Should I see Captain America before going? I already have it ready to watch, but after Thor I'm wondering if anything except for the Iron Man films were any good.

I'd rank them like such

The Avengers > Iron Man > Thor > Incredible Hulk > Iron Man 2 > Captain America

and no not important really

[codswallop]

The worst I've done so far is driving home from parties the morning after. Not drunk but obviously not zero BAC like needed for P platers.

Trust me when I say don't ever contemplate driving drunk. I was lucky (and it was a pretty much deserted road at the best of times, at 5am I was the only person) but learned from my stupidity.

Even in a darkish room it seemed to work ok my my ugly mug. That said, it slowed the whole unlock process down rather than sped it up. Disabled now.

When your face is backlit it has a lot of trouble. We have a lamp in the lounge room so once it's dark and the lamp is on, face unlock virtually has no chance of getting it right. And yeah, it's not nearly fast enough. A nice idea, but ultimately I'll stick with the pattern unlock.

[Choc]

they should do thumbprint unlock :D

[Megadrive]

They should stop overdoing the security shit. Sliding was and is fine.

[jambo]

I don't even use a passcode on my phone anymore, it was so annoying having to punch it in constantly, just to quickly check an SMS.
