    Australia's Internet Filter Switches On In July

    Also, I'd like to point out this little detail, which a lot of people have missed. THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS FILTER. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO APPLY ANY FILTER THEY WANT. CORPORATIONS are the ones who have decided to implement this filter.

    Australia's Internet Filter Switches On In July

    That doesn't even make sense. The Labor Party isn't officially associated with any international left-wing group or movement. Labor are centre-left, not liberal left wing softies. They're on the left on many social issues, but the ALP has a massive catholic right-of-left wing that has supported...

    Australia's Internet Filter Switches On In July

    It's already been pointed out multiple times in this thread, but no one seems to really comprehend what is being said. I'll try to make it as clear as I can when I say this. Gillard has nothing to do with this blacklist, and the government is not responsible for the enforcement of this...

    Australia's Internet Filter Switches On In July

    This. Guys, chill out. This is not anywhere near the travesty all of you seem to think it is. First off, this isn't compulsory. Only two internet providers are blocking some of the sites ACMA has blacklisted. If you really don't want to have a few child-porn sites blocked, just make sure...

    Why do some people think free healthcare is bad?

    Wow, I've really struggled to take you seriously throughout the thread, but that is one of the most foolish and naive things I've seen you post so far. The rich pay taxes, just like you and me. They don't receive preferential treatment and there aren't an infinite number of loopholes for them to...

    Poll: Elder scrolls or Fallout, what's up next ?

    I prefer the Fallout series, but I'd like to see a new Elder Scrolls game with an adapted version of the new id tech engine, so that they can learn how it works and how to use it, so that they'll have perfected it by the time they get to Fallout 4. A little selfish, but whatever. I'd also...

    Big Fallout: New Vegas Patch Coming Soon

    That would be amazing, they should add it in as one of the random encounters with the Wild Wasteland perk. I'm about 65 hours in, and have only just started experiencing problems, and damn, I'm getting a lot of them. I got the PS3 version (I know, I only got it on PS3 so I could replicate the...

    "dumbed down for the console gamer"

    Lol, Morrowind wasn't "portet". Microsoft approached Bethesda about making a game for the Xbox when the console initially launched. Link [http://www.elderscrolls.com/news/press_050401.htm] And I saw on an earlier page some person said mentioned Mass Effect 2 as a 'prime example' of a game...

    Review: Fallout: New Vegas

    Andronicus, one of the developers said that the Wild Wasteland Perk just added more references to pop culture and throwbacks to previous Fallout games, but they gave the player the option to disable them because some people complained it took them out of the atmosphere of the Fallout universe...

    Jersey Shore Star in Hot Water Over Grenade Dodger

    Oh, it all makes sense! I've read a few articles about something going over the rights to an app or something, I can't really remember, but I was never able to make sense of it - I never realised "The Situation" was a pseudonym for some 'guido' on the show.

    How do you deflate an ego?

    I don't think I'd consider Eragon the pinnacle of English literature.

    Mass Effect 2 Hitting PS3 in January

    Sorry if I've already been ninja'd, but it seems like people think ME2 is only half as good without importing a save, which couldn't be further from the truth. The save import was cool and fun, but to be honest, I still would have had an extremely fun time without the save import. I think...

    Pachter: Xbox 360 Needs a Price Cut

    360 Super? Personally I prefer the 360 Squat. That has literally nothing at all to do with Angerwing's post. If anything, it's more like you being able to buy a Pagani Zonda for a fraction that an Australian could. And just to make it clear, we don't have it nearly as bad as some other...

    Comic-Con Attendee Stabbed Over Seat Dispute

    I've had similiar instances happen to me when some douche doesn't want to give me my seat, but jesus, I've never felt compelled to instigate violence, let alone stab them in the eye. What a wanker.

    On Difficulty Levels

    I don't see why a limit should be kept on the number of times you can change the difficulty. When I played played Bioshock on my second run, I kept the difficulty at normal, but pushed it up to survivor whenever I encountered a Big Daddy, becuase they were just too easy on normal. I thought the...
