Michael Atkinson Steps Down

[Chipperz]

WOO! Nice one, Aussies!

Here's hoping his predecessor isn't a massive, massive tool as well.

EDIT - I'm not removing it as a sign of how much of a monkey I was, but I meant successor, not predecessor.

"you can kill me but two more will take my place"

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Am I the only person worried that this is the start of something awful?

What if the next guy is even worse?

Destroy one evil and something worse will take it's place. So I vote we put him into a vegitive state and freeze him.

Bah, joking. Who could be worse?

..Don't answer that.

I don't think that's necessarily true, no one replaced Hitler! Also for the topic this is great news for Australia

Okay, who the hell divided by zero? Come on, be honest.

maybe i did, i didn't mean to i swear

 

[Rainboq]

He also cited a desire to see his son Johnno play soccer as another reason for his retirement from front-line politics.

OK Australian Escapist's, here's your homework, find his boy and get him interested in videogames, teach him everything you know.

The thought of having his son become one of Australia's top/pro gamers sounds delicious does it not?

On it!

 

[Boba Frag]

With you on that one, buddy! Any excuse to drink copiously and slur the names of people whose political decisions have no impact on me. On that subject, screw you Berlusconi!

I feel good for Australia today. Until you let me down again by only exporting your shittiest drinks

I would like to very loudly andn drunkily agree with you!!

Here's to the Australian gamers!
Heh, Health care bill passed in the US and the fall of Sauro- er, Michael Atkinson's resignation.

Interesting week, no?

On another note: damn your eyes, Nicholas Sarkozy! You power hungry dog!

As we say where I'm from... Sláinte!

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

WOO! Nice one, Aussies!

Here's hoping his predecessor isn't a massive, massive tool as well.

predecessor means the person before him... and the previous AG was only a mid-sized tool.

Blergh, I'm tired - I meant successor. The one that comes after him.

 

[Darth Sea Bass]

Woo have a beer or two for me australians!

I'll add it to the line up. But your beers-in-absentenia are about 20th in line.

Yes, Australians drink.

Ahhh the real heavy drinking will have barely begun at that point.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

Are you mad? Have you seen how big a can of Fosters is?

Aussies don't drink Fosters. Even the pubs only carry it in case a tourist comes in.

How about XXXX?

 

[Ulquiorra4sama]

Gratz to all Australian gamers. I've heard a lot about Atkinson both in forums and on ZP and it sounds like he's been a living hell to have as attorney-general. So again, congratulations and may there be hope in your future.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

How about XXXX?

I don't recognise Queensland as part of Australia.

 

[SPARTANXIII]

People, I say we all toast to this!

Bring out your Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, or any other kind of disgusting beverage you drink while gaming. This must be celebrated!

I call dibs on the wish-bone!

[sub]Oh, and as a side note, I'm not surprised his son is embarrassed about him going to his soccer games. [/sub]

Skol. (Swedish for cheers).

He was the AG of only one state not the whole country.

No it's not. Are you even Swedish?

 

[Decabo]

Imagine if Atkinson went to the Mana Bar... I don't know why he would, but holy dirt that would be funny.

Atkinson steps down AND healthcare reform? It's a good day.

 

[JaymesFogarty]

Let me say . . . EPIC MOTHER FUCKING WIN FOR THE AUSSIE GAMERS!

it's about damned TIME you guys got a proper rating for their games so they can actually PLAY the same things we get out here in the US.

Hopefully now Heavy Rain will get out to them . . . not that Yahtzee hasn't already played it.

Heavy Rain? It says 15 on my box; (I have got the HMV edition mind you.) Either way, some truly great games should be on their way to Australia. Provided of course that Michael's replacement isn't worse...

 

[Zepren]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's a good day.

 

[Timotei]

I can hear the collective cheers and screams of gamers all the way here in 'Kullyfawnia'.

I think it's time to party.
