Still tossing up whether to buy it tomorrow or not. If I don't start playing it tomorrow everyone else will get ahead of me =/

I heard it was 5pm, but i guess we'll find out then.

Max Payne 3 isn't even out here until June. Which sucks.

Also Red Dead Redemption was a good game. GTA4: Gay Tony was a good game. Table Tennis was a good game. GTA Chinatown Wars was a good game.
GTA4 was not a good game. LA Noire was not a good game. Manhunt 2 was not a good game. Beaterator was not a good game.

Unsecured creditors. Will destroy their reputation beyond repair. I would expect them to change their mind. They are honouring credit as long as it is only 25% of the purchase at the till :/

I imagine people who paid via credit card will be ok, but anyone else is S.O.L.

And none of them will ever buy from Game again.

Okay, so I have a court date tomorrow. My first one, ever. Disputing a parking fine. Here are the details:

1 hour park, half of it blocked by a courier van. Driver was unloading stuff to the grocery store on the left, and he had parked so because it gave him straight access to the alley leading to the back of the store.

I wanted to park in the 1P, so i stopped behind him. Half my car was in the 1P, the other half in a No stopping zone. I wanted to honk the driver, but instead I got out to ask him if he would move a little bit ahead, so I could park legally. He refused and told me to wait for him to finish his unloading.

I did not want to wait there so I went back to my car and moved on, trying to find another place to park. I had gotten out of the car for half a minute. The engine was still on. My friend was still sitting in the passenger seat. From nowhere in that half minute, a parking officer came, clicked a picture and left. I got the fine in the mail couple of days later.

How is this fair? Aren't parking officers supposed to issue tickets? How is it justified for them to simply click a picture and walk away? Why was the driver of the courier van not fined? Because it was more convenient to fine the car behind him?

The council sent me a picture when I disputed the fine. I'm standing right next to the car in that picture, facing the other side. I tried to explain this to the council officer but they did not listen. So I went to court. It's a $119 parking fine after all. I'm fairly confident that I will win. What do you guys think?

Also, this is the Maribyrnong council I'm talking about. A council infamous for their harsh and excessive fines.

I managed to escape GAME's screwing over of customers because I ordered Diablo 3 online. I feel bad for customers tied up with their BS, as well as the little guys working there. At this stage, it seems like it was calculated by the bigger guys which is just disgusting.

I escaped their screwing over of customers by not shopping there since 2009.

That whole sub plot is boring but my main concern is the major deviation from the books. Without them, that sub plot won't make any sense.

Finished series 1 of Sherlock on bluray tonight.

I assume its a well known character, but Moriarty is delightfully evil.

Really clear to see to how much the character of Sherlock Holmes seems to have inspired the same kind of character as Doctor Who. Not this incarnation, but the respective original incarnations of both characters.

It's good for what it is though. For me, I don't think commandline C++ compiling will ever beat VStudio.
