i used to go to school next door
thought id also add a random fact to whatever this is
Mr. Burns: Stop everything! I don't remember writing a check for bowling.
Smithers: Uh, sir, that's a check for your boweling.
Mr. Burns: Oh, yes. That's very important.
Smithers: Yes, sir. Remember that month you didn't do it?
Mr. Burns: Yes... that was unpleasant for all concerned.

This team is making realise how unfair the old Australian team would have been to play. Start off with Hayden and Langer, get one of them out and out comes Punter. Get him out, Clarke. Then Gilly and Hussey.
Speaking of the devil Huss edges Shit.
Also I'm potentially moving to a suburb where the major landmarks are a prison, mental institute and animal shelter. On the upside the house has a pool.

The pool is also cursed
but it comes with a free pool cover!

The pool cover contains anthrax benzoate.

That's bad
Strictly speaking wouldn't it be harmless when dissolved in a few hundred thousand litres of water? It's just an acid.

On the level of Potassium benzoate then?

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Really digging the Wii U at the moment. ZombiU isn't perfect and it's ticking a lot of the "euro jank" boxes I was hoping it would. Mario is Mario, but seems more in line with NSMB2 in that the level design is quite excellent. And Nintendo Land is surprisingly fun.
Miiverse is a really excellent idea too, and gives the platform a distinct presentation that feels very different from everything else.

Miiverse really is the 'killer app' at the moment. There is such a distinct sense of community and connection which has for too long been foreign on a Nintendo system.
Good to see a strong AusGAF/Australian presence to ! *patriotic tear*

The whole "one player on the Gamepad screen, the other on the TV" thing for local multi is pretty killer.
I thought you were down on the wii u like a debbie downer starring in debbie downer goes down on dallas!
I was thinking benzoic acid. In any case dont take my word for it.
We were dropping NNID's in this thread, someone more skilled might want to make up a spreadsheet?

How is the surround sound and lockup issue going? Any problems for you at all?
I'm actually surprised at the lack of problems with the Wii U. Judging from whatever comments I caught throughout the past week or so, I was going in thinking that I had bought a weight of shit for my partner. The only issue for me was at the start due to the internet connection dropping out, but that was more on my end, and the relatively slow operating system.
I played a lot of it yesterday and had no lockouts, and my partner has played Warriors Orochi 3 for the majority of today in bed and she hasn't had any lockouts either.
Maybe I am lucky.

I was at Big W today and came so close to picking a U up. I didn't put I feel like it's inevitable. NSMBU and ZombiU look rad as shit.

If anyone still cares, here's another picture from Japan. It's of the Kamakura Buddha, which is probably the third largest Buddha statue I've seen. Maybe fourth. First one I've been inside, though!

Cracking shot dude. Is that the one in Nara? I meant to comment on the chef one too, also a good one

Just picked up copies of Ass Creed Brotherhood, Darksiders and Red Dead Redemption for $5 each from Crazy Clarks.

Might need to add Japan as a destination to visit once I graduate. Must have been quite a sight.

I'm glad I picked up the system.
Nintendoland is cute in small doses but you really need friends over for that one to go off. I love the Donkey Kong game but I still have at least half of the things to try out. I hate Monita with a passion.
Zombie U is entirely gimmicky, convoluted and I'm most likely to trade.
New Super Mario Bros U (as someone who gave up on the Wii version before the 3rd world, didn't finish the DS and finished both 3D Land and NSMB2 on 3DS this last week) is awesome. It's not filled with insta-win powerups (the type that allowed me to blast through the 3DS games) and despite the proximity with my playthroughs of the 3DS games is really engaging me. That and I can play it on the couch with my wife while she watches TV (the console being in the TV room which is technically next door but the wall has a massive cutout)
so yeah, loving it so far.

Thanks. Glad to see people are interested in seeing them, at the very least. This is in Kamakura, about an hour out of Tokyo. Ultra touristy place. The one in Nara is inside the temple there and is wooden (I think!). Have a shot or two of that other one, but due to the lighting, cramped space and my lens, it's not very good.
If you like that, there are (IMO) tons better places in Japan to see, definitely no shortage of pretty sights! Maybe I'll upload some older Japan ones to if I get bored of this batch...
The more I read about people loving the Wii U for gaming in the same room while others watch TV, the more I like the idea. I am curious about sound though. Does it come from the GamePad speakers, do you use headphones or just no sound?

I'm really loving Zombi U, it seems like a game you take in small doses, I'm thinking half hour a day or so is all i need.
nintendo land is good fun. Had 3 friends around last night and we had a BLAST.
mario chase was a real winner, especially watching the instant replays after

there are speakers in the gamepad as well as a headphone socket. you can fiddle with settings to tune it the way you like. It sounds better than the Wii-mote speaker, more like 3DS speakers.
Is this in Geelong?
I was going to ask if that's console or PC, but then I remembered RDR never came out on PC.
Then I remembered I actually own all those games, either on PC or 360 or both.
Edit: Fuck. I meant to type this response out and copypasta it into my last one, but forgot. Fuck.
On the bright side, I managed to fix my leaky sunroof today! Looks like it was just in time, too. Hopefully the cleanup job I tried to do on the mildew comes up okay.
PS. Megadrive, did you want me to buy you a copy of Spec Ops to pay you back for the one from GMG?

I'm aware the device has speakers and a headphone socket, but I'm interested to know what people are using, especially in the company of someone else doing something else. I guess it's the same situation as any handheld, when it comes down to it... Does it essentially feel like a large handheld gaming system when used that way or does it feel more like a regular console you happen to have on a smaller screen?

That reminds me, I saw this when I was in Japan and thought "AusGAF!"
