    Not your average recommendation thread.

    Project Sylpheed, starfighter/flight sim/ dogfight game, whatever thats meant to be called. The story is basic, the characters will almost completely get on your nerves. But inbetween that are long insane space battles that are tense and exciting, the weapons feel really solid (especially once...

    Canada, we really have monopoly money now...

    Whats interesting in this thread is noticing how many people are bringing up their stories about issues with counterfiet money, and yet it's taken this long for you to get on the plastic money bandwagon. Growing up in australia i've never really heard of any real issues with counterfeit money...

    Skyrim: What did you roll ?

    Dark Elf, sword and destruction magic, with liberal doses of sneak and archery to boot. Was a little confused cos at the start by the lack of an actual skill selection moment. But i'm really digging the whole organic progression system. Only a few hours in and now i have to go to work while my...

    Australian Attorney General Calls For Violent Videogame Ban

    I'll happily take government that can't work out we're old enough to make decisions about violent or explicit video games over government that can't handle its economy thank you :p But on topic, I'd like to see and R18+ rating mainly for the sake of having our game ratings inline with most...

    Adult Escapists: What do you do for a living?

    Im a chef in a fairly large hotel, years of piss poor apprentice wages has left me with a bit of a back catologue of games i missed. But i'm slowly working through that and picking up plenty of new releases now that im on a ridiculous wage :P

    Well done to the All Blacks!!

    I thought they were best known for putting a stick into a kiwi fruit and calling it an animal. oh and pretending they invented half of australias favorite foods :p but trolling aside, as a proud Aussie im glad the All Blacks got across the line, What we have between our small island nations...

    Energy drink survey for marketing class

    I'll preface this by stating that i am hilariously addicted to Mother, i've cut back quite a bit (namely due to one of my supervisers at work limiting me to 2 cans a day) but i used to quite regularly drink between 7 to 10 standard cans in a day. Price - 3 to 4. Doesnt much affect my choice...

    Take a look at yourself right now...

    sprawled on the couch with a rum on the arm rest, watching my housemate play dark souls. Im tall long haired kinda scruffy and a little on the pale side wearing an old grinspoon tshirt and chef pants (seriously the most comfortable pants in the world, give em a try). Right now i look fairly...

    Watch Indiana Jones Play Uncharted 3

    Yea but when he's sitting there at the end going "its really exciting its great i had fun with this game yadda yadda" I like how the look on his face isn't really fun and excitement but rather "im not really sure what just happened for the last 20mins"

    "I don't usually like [X Genre] games, but..."

    I dont quite know what the genre would be. "recource collecting based city sim" would i guess be the closest thing to it. But i had a hell of a time with viva pinata back in the day.

    Poll: How much do you customise game controls?

    I'm always changing the shoot controls on my housemates PS3. i know the stupid flappy paddles don't really count as triggers but they're in the trigger spot and i'm used to the 360 control so L2 R2 for my iron sights and fire thankyou.

    Should there be criteria to permit people to buy a four by four?

    I'm not saying there's no room for environmental consideration. Plenty of people i know with larger vehichles make efforts for the environment and it'd be a pretty safe bet that if anyone made a hydrogen cell 4x4 with comparable power to a current v8 alot of 4x4 driving soccer moms would adopt...
