Michael Atkinson Steps Down

[Voodoomancer]

It was as if a million gamers cheered at once...

No wait, that's what actually happened.

I believe that there can only be one response to this that accurately sums up the feelings of the gaming community.

I see you and raise.

Stepping down to spend more time with his son. Dammit! why did you have to go and humanize yourself? Now I can't hate you!

May he be a better, more caring and lenient father than he was a public representative of the Australian people.

I imagine the streets of Australia resemble the final scenes of the last star wars (cant remember its name offhand)

In other news Atkinson has announced that he is close to perfecting his machine that would suck all the fun and enjoyment out of the world.
I would say that it couldn't end this easily but then I am an American and if Atkinson leaves I won't be able to name a single attorney general in Australia.

I hope his replacement brings change to our beleaguered comrades in Australia. Gamers need to have equal opportunity to enjoy their favorite hobby regardless of what side of the equator they are on. I'm interested to see what happens next. I also am curious about how Yahtzee is going to react to the new guy.

Celebrate the downfall of satan!
Labor also wanted to censor our nets. not just of stuff every one agrees on like child exploitation but also things like information on euthanasia. (Honestly the wikipedia page for it? come on guys.)

Labor also wanted to censor our nets.

Still wants to unless Federal Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has suddenly imploded in the past few days.

 

[Tyson765]

I'd love to see that.
I swear it would have the most youtubes hits in history.

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

I detect the collective orgasm of aussie gamers.

You know it!

 

[Marsell]

H-he's gone? Like no longer in power gone? And this isn't a dream?![HEADING=1]WoooooHoooooo!!! It's time to *party*! Party like rock stars![/HEADING]

"Never gonna give youu up, never let you down, never gonna run around and, desert youu.
Never make you cry, never gonna say goodbye, never gonna goona tell a lie, and hurt you!"
Man, I fuckin dancing here
HAPPY DAY!

Thank God, The system has been restored again. Looks like we won't have to resort to overseas buying or piracy to get our games.
