Looking forward to it unlocking on Steam tonight ;) Oh, and: I think the author meant to say 'successor'.

Oh and btw, we're not "within NSW". Slight error in the article there. NSW is a separate state which surrounds the ACT, but we are not part of it.

Woohoo, now people have heard of us! But seriously, I'm glad my hometown is the one making this move first. Not sure why it will take 9 months, though. Come one, come all.

He wasn't voted out of office, he just lost a chunk of his majority and then stepped down as Attorney General (but is still a member of the SA Parliament). Between this and the Fallout 3 error, this is a badly researched article. That said, bring on the damn rating already.

I think they mean April 1st.

Thanks! This solved the problem for me.

RIP Lydia. At least I assume you're dead. You never did find me again after the Meridia quest...

11/24 and from Australia. I did know the quango question, though. All those years of watching Yes, Prime Minister has paid off.

Your last comment is fair enough, I probably should have said that AA was weaker than the more recent novels (especially Night Watch and Thud!). That said, my least favourite is still Reaper Man. Not to say it's bad, just less enjoyable than the others.

Discworld, although I found Unseen Academicals to be a bit weaker than the other books. The Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell is also a top read. Someone also mentioned the Dune series. I've read the six original books, which are utterly brilliant. Dense, but rewarding. The other books...

Yeah I'm only getting ads as well. Cunning, Escapist, very cunning.

Hell yes. C&C isn't the same without his music.

Bachelor of Arts (Applied Linguistics) and Bachelor of Psychology. Might do some postgrad one day, but not anytime soon.

I was 14, which would make it half my life ago. If I recall correctly, I was pretty obsessed with C&C back then.

I'm seriously considering buying Civ V, and I downloaded the demo on Steam, and it seemed to run pretty well - but before I spend AU $100 I'd like ask the Escapist folks a couple of things. If my PC handled the demo, would this be a good measure of how well it would handle the full version...
