Mad Max Is Australian Again

[Some_weirdGuy]

Who else here thinks all they do is give some poor English guy 5 extra bucks to put up an aussie accent. Instead of hiring an Aussie.

Btw. what IS the Australian word for blasphemy? I NEED TO KNOW!

Probably the politically popular 'un-Australian'.

Generally considered bad/unfair?(and i assume extends to blasphemous) 'un-Australian' seems to be the go to word(if you exclude the more universal descriptors used across countries).

Made all the more amusing given the context:
Mad max not being Australian? well that's just un-Australian...

They'll just hire the cheapest guy going, and tell him to throw on a very bad Aussie accent and call it a day. If I don't see Utes, Holden's, or a combination of both, I'm going to be annoyed.

I laughed when I read this, in a good way.

Basically it involves some sort of combination of human and animal parts, swearing and metaphor, that only makes sense when one is 'on the piss.'

Blasphemers, however, can be simply referred to as 'fuckwits'.

"Rupert Murdoch"?

Just what is wrong with the Aussie outback? I mean the usual downside of everything trying to kill you would be a positive in a game like this.

Well, from a game design perspective, I would imagine that the deserts being mostly flat and featureless would be a downside. They'd have to set it around some of the more interesting geographical features to make it more interesting.

But that would be kind of weird, also. Mad Max: Uluru or Mad Max: Flinders Ranges would be bizarrely interesting, but would any of the target audience actually get it?

That's it! Un-Australian. It's the political catch-all to things we don't really like but don't know exactly why we don't like them (or can't think of a more appropriate word).

Incidentally I saw Mad Maxs' car in an exhibition a couple of months ago. That stirred the Aussie pride in me.

I can't believe Yahoo Serious was mentioned. I would have thought giving the world Hugh Jackman would have erased that sin from everyones' collective memory banks. I thought he went the way of Mark "Jacko" Jackson.
