yea its was, should have mentioned it in my post. Pretty sure TBYG episodes are posted on the 10's TBYG show websiteNedjoe said:I would love to see this, was it on My Generation? Hopefully it's online.
Mar said:Such a great weekend of gaming. Haven't got to play that much for a long time.
Finished Castlevania HD with a friend, then we grouped with three other randoms and finished on hard mode (which is really hard, without the uber geared japanese guy in our party we would have been destroyed).
Then finished Crackdown 2 with two of my friends (worst ending I've seen in a good while). But the really awesome part was all of us figuring out how to climb the tallest building in the city and collect the hidden orb up the top, and chase down the renegade orb next to it. It was so exhilarating climbing that thing and looking around at everything below.
Played some Limbo... Not sure what everyone has been falling over themselves about there...
Then finished the Alan Wake DLC which is close to my favourite piece of gaming this year.

I don't think i need anything that can store 400 items. I won't be taking my laptop home so it's pretty much just lunch.
Any small backpacks suggestions? I haven't had a backpack since high school and i certainly don't need one that large.

Discuss.
Ok seriously, i just don't like it. I finally got a chance to play the full version over the weekend and it just feels so bad compared to the original game. The announcer is crap especially when you get achievements and the feel of the game just isn't there

Agyar said:I tried the Limbo demo and felt underwhelmed. While ticking some art design boxes, it failed to tell me why I should play it, which I think is an important question to answer when you're trying to enjoy some downtime with a video game. Praise for the "atmosphere" seems to be given more out of expectation than actual impression and on its own wasn't enough to make me want to continue playing.
Go with a Satchel/Messenger bag. My Motorhead messenger bag has served me well for the last 5 years.evlcookie said:Sold rass. I will use that new site for aussies to buy from the US, i'm sure it's under 2kgs!
Satchel / Messenger bag sounds perfect. I forgot we buy bags at work (although most are laptop bags), so hopefully i can find one that isn't too expensive with a staff purchase.
Otherwise yea, i guess i will hit up the shops on the weekend and see pilgrim + buy a bag.
Perfect bag but out of stock - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IADDYK/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Mar said:I think that's exactly how I feel. It looks great, but there's nothing compelling me to continue moving forward. I don't feel like there's anything driving the game other than the very basic mechanic of pushing right on the stick. Some of the 'puzzles' almost had me quit the game as I just felt no reason to solve them. Dying and spawning back in immediately over and over again. I did keep going however until finally I just turned the game off because I was no longer interested.
It makes me think there's a lot of people out there that don't usually experience a good atmosphere in a game, and would not unless the game itself was so basic and unchallenging that pushing right on the stick to experience more of it is the only way they would. Because I've played so many more games with just as good if not better atmosphere, but they are usually plagued by complex or even broken controls and mechanics. Fair enough if people don't like pushing through those sorts of things, but I do enjoy doing that and prefer it to pushing myself through a very polished control scheme but very dull and boring style, like Gears of War for example.

$50/month on Virgin.
Choc said:Why not get it on optus (which uses the same network) for the same price
Virgin is okish.... i used to be on them but moved off.
Mafia 2 Demo was released last week and yes, it is very awesome...on PC. There are a few console people having a whinge about it in the impressions thread but on PC it looks great and plays really well.Choc said:Also
Who has played Mafia 2? I played it last night the Live download and its really quite awesome
I think they have delivered big time with this one. i can't wait and it looks like the design values from mafia 1 are there again with spades
Don't pick up the playboy mag with your other half around (a nude screen appears instantly)

endlessflood said:Someone in AusGAF recently recommended a website for keeping your receipts and warranties online, but for the life of me I can't turn it up using search. Could some kind soul please remind me? I don't trust my record keeping skills ATM
Yes, that was it, thanks!evlcookie said:Evernote ? Guess it depends on how you go about keeping records.
endlessflood said:Yes, that was it, thanks!
Is it any good? I'm thinking about scanning a bunch of my important receipts/warranties and then keeping them in the cloud, is Evernote a good idea for that? Their web site is kind of vague about what they actually offer.
Im not using anything like xmbc its better to keep it familiar so they are using VLC with coreAVC codecevlcookie said:What software you got running on the HTPC ?
EviLore said:Thread's too big, going to need a new one. I'm okay with you guys having your own subcommunity, btw, but maybe the online forum would be a better fit, as I'm trying to limit the amount of megathreads going on in the gaming forum so it doesn't hinder the flow of information.
rass said:goodbye massive thread
the day we knew was coming is here
online or off-topic? Isn't online a sub-forum of gaming? I would have having the thread in online would put the same pressure on the servers as having it in gaming? I'm not a web guy though.
Rlan said:Nobody goes to the Online forum. AusGAF is only active when you guys are asleep anyhow
EviLore said:You guys should have the thread subscribed anyway; wouldn't be any difference in that case for the regulars.
Rlan said:I've never touched the subscription thing otherwise I'll just get a billion e-mails a day.
Is there any way to make subscription threads appear in some sort of top list of threads? You're own personal "sticky" selection?

I hoping we would end the thread on page "666" personallyevlcookie said:You can disable the email notifications. I know i do. I always just click on subscriptions at the top and if i notice someone has posted lately in the ausgaf thread i click on it and see what's been said since i last visited.
I can understand why we might get thrown in the online section. We do swing from Gaming talk to OT to online and so on along with the needs of the forum software and hardware.
If you're going to close it down very very soon. Can we at least hit the 33k mark and close it on a nice even number?
