Golf Story might just be the most Australian game ever!

Never thought I'd see the words "Sucked in" in a videogame.

Can I smash soda bulbs down in the car park at in Golf Story? Can I pull max doughnuts on my BMX in the gravel? Can I get GOey from Kev out the back of the pro shop? Can I smoke bongs and drink Passion Pop with Shazza in the bunker of Hole 9? Can I buy a Nippy's Iced Honeycomb, Redskins, Milkos and Ovalteenies from the canteen?

If not, then it's FUCKED.

I might need to grab this game for a bit of fun. I looked at the OT and lots of people didnt know what a sausage roll is, particularly north americans. My house mate's girlfriend is from texas and she loves aussie slang so this could be a winner.

On another note i just got a promotion and payrise. Wooo

Well, I have already come across sausage rolls and a hot pie (that's a little frozen inside).

If you're looking for a mini-SNES but don't have one on pre-order, there have been extra consoles shipped out to almost every EB games. More than the number required to fill pre-orders. So there -should- be spares all over the shop, but I'm not 100% how many in each store, etc.

When I pre-ordered from the EB website around the announcement time, the website said in-store pick ups weren't available for it. And the estimated delivery date is October 3rd. :(

So what's the consensus on the new stark trek? Worth watching?
Click to expand...

I liked it. But it’s more backstory for a show. Like an issue 0 of a comic.

There’s plenty to nitpick though. It has the typical issues surrounding making a prequel many years after the original for instance. And for a Trek Prime show too much Abrams’ seems to have rubbed off on it.

I'm actually going to out on a limb and say yes, but wait until episode 3 next week. Because the first 2 episodes are like a big prologue and the actual pilot of Discovery is what's coming next.

yes. Most of what you see in the first two eps would be the first act of a pilot of classic trek, or even in the teaser before the opening credits, then alluded to over the years with a flashback here and there.

I personally don't know what was going on with
the klingons. i know they're meant to be different but they really come off as weaksauce to me
. However, Sonequa Martin Green is great to watch. She's going to be huge.

Fuck sake. I called Big W and was told they had them in stock. Got down there 20 minutes later "sorry, sold out". I look online and they have them in stock still so I drive home get on the computer "Sold out online". Seriously?? :(

Should have done it on the spot man. Can't trust these to last a minute longer.

Do you mean at GAF, or in general? And which platform?
Click to expand...

anywhere really, but GAF is good for mostly avoiding the mass of assholé -- PS4/PC. AU/NZ isn't essential.

reptilescorpio said:
Jambo has a PC one here he just started.

We had one back from the start of Destiny 1 (mostly PS4) but it wasn't all that active during Destiny 2 same time I was on so I jumped into another more active clan that isn't AU only.

makes sense, thanks for sharing

I'm in a big Australian PS4 social gaming clan, and Destiny 2 is hugely popular. If you're interested I can PM you some details (don't want to spam the thread).

The Bungie clan management stuff is really weird.

Half the time people request to join it, I can't approve them for some reason and then they end up leaving.

Taken, thanks mate! Have really been looking forward to seeing what Battlefront 2 is like. I loved the atmosphere and presentation of the first (DICE) one, I'm just hoping there's a bit more depth this time.
