Just to make you guys jelly :p I got this from a little shop called Triple M. They sell vintage games and moviesand the bloke knew exactly what he was selling me. He and I trying to explain to my wife what manner of thing I was being sold just went straight over her head.

I am so super duper sold on Torchlight 2 now. No more stupid Cracked Gems! Just use the damn things as you find them rather than save them all up and never end up using them! Also separate loot for co-op that you can still trade between each other.

French and English Zelda cart? Sweet! Got the whole set?

Pretty much perfect, except no map (did it come on the FDS?) and the plastic box (top-right) is actually from Golf, not Zelda. Manual doesn't look like it's ever been read, still has the warranty card inside!

Anyone ever send a message and almost immediately regret it?... yeah, let's see how this all pans out.


Also, never knew AusGAF had its own Twitter feed. Odd.

Once a day someone will ask for an email address and I just have to cry tears of sadness for our minds.

To clarify, you haven't bought a copy yet, have you? I still have a spot reserved for yourself and Jambo along with my brother in the four-pack. I'll be nailing it down sometime today, hopefully.

lol, this Korean guy is trying to pick up two of my friends and he texts them at the same time. But since they're pretty close they've been reading the texts together (which are basically the same). On one hand I feel kinda sorry for him, but on the other hand... why would you do that?!

Rumour: SBS to get broadcast rights to 1 A-League game a round next season.

Positive step IMO and been a largely positive week for the A-League all round.

In November 2007 Kevin Rudd won 5.4 million primary votes for Labor candidates, and in August 2010 Julia Gillard’s team won 4.7 million primary votes, a drop of 700,000 votes for Gillard after only a couple of months in the top job.

In the recent Newspoll and Nielsen polls, Gillard is now winning 27 per cent, or 3.3 million, primary votes for her Labor candidates.

So, the Gillard leadership is costing the ALP caucus members who voted for her about 2.1 million of the 5.4 million primary votes won under Rudd’s leadership not quite five years ago.

That’s almost four in 10 former Labor voters lost, or a bit under 100,000 Labor voters in 2007 lost every month since Gillard was elected leader in June 2010. This in itself is bad enough, but the devastating truth here for Labor’s caucus members is that these 2.1&#8201;million angry former Labor voters aren’t spread evenly across all electorates, but overwhelmingly live in the 61 seats held by Labor MPs with two-party preferred margins of up to 15&#8201;per cent.

This means the swings against Gillard Labor are not likely to be uniform, but instead range up to 30&#8201;per cent in the 61 ALP seats held by margins of up to 15 per cent, wiping out all but 17 of these 61&#8201;seats and ripping the heart out of Labor’s suburban base across all capital cities.

Labor strategists can’t sandbag these seats against a rising electoral tide because the tide just keeps rising over the sandbags whereas, in the safe Coalition seats, the swings against Labor are a derisory 2 to 3&#8201;per cent two-party preferred. For Labor candidates, this isn’t a swing, this is a malevolent force.

The most obvious reasons for this extraordinary result can be seen in the dissatisfaction/satisfaction ratings for Gillard, which are now approaching a ratio of two to one.

Under my rough rule of thumb this means Gillard’s unpopularity, in and of itself, is costing Labor about 8 to 9 per cent of the primary vote. When she is finally dumped as leader in favour of Kevin Rudd, Labor candidates should regain more than a million primary votes overnight.

With a competent treasurer to replace Wayne Swan, Labor could then start chasing the other million votes lost by the present Labor government and, in time, Rudd Labor may actually stand a chance of seriously contesting the seven Queensland seats Gillard and Swan lost in 2010.

Are you sure its not just a stealth way of finding out someone's name? Or the right spelling of it? Because I pull that trick all the time.

Also I watched The Two Escobars last night. About Pablo Escobar's involvement Colombian soccer and the national team in the lead up to the 1994 World Cup. Really good.

That's pretty shocking when put into numbers like that. Although the last line is a bit ridiculous. Rag on the government all you want but Swan has been a good treasurer in a tough time
