Down Under

[LongAndShort]

So, I was recently sitting with my sister watching TV when a commercial for "Sabrina: Down Under" came on. I was reminded of the period when all the popular shows and gimmicks had a "Down Under' movie/episode, examining all the cliches that make Australia such a great place to visit. I haven't heard about any in a while, and I feel this needs to change.

So what do you think needs to go "Down Under"? Should James Bond head south to deal with a cult of Steve Irwin worshipers bent on khaki-clad world domination? Should Commander Shepard introduce himself to Miranda's dear old crazy dad? How long would it take you to get sick of "That's not a super-mutant. This is a super-mutant!"?

Come on, be creative.

Isn't fallout 3 down under mad max?

I would like to Star Wars Down Under. Thats not a light Sabre this is a Light Sabre.

Lord of the rings: battle for down under.

Oh God no, I hate stuff set here. Especially when, under normal circumstances, it's set somewhere else.

Keep your God-damn cameras away!

[sub] I'd love to so you're avatar set in Australia. [/sub].

Apart from that I've got nothing.

[sub] seriously though, where did you get that avatar from? I can't stop looking at it. [/sub]

An Kangaroo/Emu/Koala racing game through the outback would be awesome. There will be shrimps on the barbie....

'Say goodbye to ya head, wanker!'
BUT!
There MUST be a password that only the Aussie players will get.

It needs to be set in:
1. The CBD
2. Around and on Uluru
3. Somewhere in the Outback (Hey, we have a ridiculous Outback, if they used the WHOLE thing and shrunk it by about 10, it'd still take the players about 5-15 minutes to find a bloody target!)
4. Parliament House!!! (You can win the match by finding and killing Rudd!!!)

I don't know, have there been any first person shooters in Australia? Seriously, all the games I've ever played have been in Europe, the Americas and Asia. Actually, why isn't there a game where you play as a member of the SASR?

Because everything military & Australian is shit.

The Good Times Kid. It's the protagonist trying to cheer someone up.

In war games, the Australian Navy beet the Americans. Also our SAS is pretty elite. Aswell as, we allow many countries to have miny bases for their armys in our desert.

I still want to see some kind of big budget mainstream action movie to be set in my home city Perth WA.

It would be just, such a change from the usual conventions. I'm thinking something along the lines of:
"Aliens Vs. Predator.... Down under!!"

Tagline: "You are one ugly motger F**ker.... Wanna xenomorph on the barbie?"

K thnx for the heads up, it sure as hell cheered me up, so i'd say mission acomplished.

OT:
I'd like to have several 'celebrities' film a couple of their 'reality tv' episodes in Australia. Only to have the plane crash whilst on rout..... or maybe they get stoped at border control for being general douchebags.

I'm with Pararaptor. The fewer half-arsed Australia gimmick TV shows and movies, the better.

Games, that's another matter. How about "Alone In The Sunshine", a tense survival horror game where you have to make it through a full day in northern Queensland, surrounded by aggressive bogans, nervous sheep, lethal and usually very small and poisonous wildlife, and no semi-automatic weaponry? Give it a tagline like "Daylight won't save you!" At least it'd be realistic...

Left 4 Down: Under.

Featuring Keith, obviously.

Except, instead of zombies, you fight rampaging drop bears and rabid kangaroos. The boss fights are against saltwater crocodiles - which aren't infected, but which are bastards.

Just film the beach episode when you know there's a bluebottle tide coming in.

Ratings gold.

I will so be there for that!

I will one day bring the Australian FPS to the world... beware, you USA-centralised gamers!
