    Battle: Los Angeles Game Can Only Kill An Hour Or So

    Here in Australia, ticket prices tend to be over $20AUD. :( But yeah, I can't say I'm suprised that the game sucked, even with it's promising trailer.

    Poll: A question to my fellow Aussies (and anyone else interested)

    I don't think that treasuring our heritage and evolving and developing our national identity are mutually exclusive things. In fact, I say we should have an anthem that better reflects our heritage, rather than this boring "Young, free and girt by sea" dribble.

    Poll: A question to my fellow Aussies (and anyone else interested)

    Do you not find it strange that the Australian head of state is a Brit?

    Poll: A question to my fellow Aussies (and anyone else interested)

    Personally, I find our anthem so boring that it's impossable for me to be inspiried or even mildly interested whenever it's played. Compared to some of the more powerful and emotive anthems from around the world, like say the French or the South African, or even the American anthem, ours just...

    Stolen Pixels #223: The Expensive Dimension

    Actually read the comic with 3D glasses on. In case your wondering; no, it didn't make everything 3D. It just made my head hurt :(

    Is sniping over abundant these days?

    I'm gonna go out against the majority of posts and say that in my MW2 experience sniping was not nearly as over abundent as people are making it out to be. I personally rarely snipe, expect on wasteland because it's simply built for it, and I find that while there are a few snipers per game on...

    What is your most frustrating multiplayer moment?

    Spawning in front of an enemy in Halo 3 so I survive a full second before being assassinated. Also, spawning of the edge in Halo. Also also being base trapped by a demoman in TF2.

    If you could be a character from any game, who would it be?

    Nightwing. I know it's not really a game character but he is awesome cool and he was in DC vs Mortal combat AND lego Batman, so yeah. Nightwing is f***ing awesome. Failing that, HK-47. Live forever as a droid, beat the crap out of anyone you want just for the hell of it, life as HK would be...

    Am I the only one that didn't like Dragon Age?

    Dragon Age is my favourite game bar none. I thought it was role-playing at it's best. The writing was top notch, the characters were interesting and the combat was challanging and rewarding. The choices are what gripped me though, never in a game have I had a hard time deciding which direction...

    The 'Capcom' effect

    Capcom does alot of things annoyingly. I judge each game based on it's own merits, not on the company that makes them, but that said I haven't been compelled to actually buy a Capcom game in years. Lost planet 2 was the last one I rented, and it was disappointing by my standards. ANYWAYS...

    Terrible Parts in Great Games

    Er, should point out I meant the fade section in DA:O that everyone is mentioning. Yeah, Taris did take far to long to complete, espically considering the level cap in place. You know that had to cut content to get it down to the length it was? Imagine the original Taris.

    Terrible Parts in Great Games

    So the first 3rd of the game? Fair enough. How about all the bits of CoD World at War that weren't the Sniping Mission or Nazi Zombies. Ok thats not fair I enjoyed CoD:WaW, but I am putting down it's tank mission as the low point. Such a bad section of an otherwises pretty decent game...

    The Needles: Master Chief Goes to Washington

    I don't suppose that the American government will listen to Australian protesters will they. Oh well. Look, I'm from Australia, and as your all aware I can tell you EXACTLY what can happen if you remove the protections given to those who publish these products. It's simple, decide that Video...

    Australian Government Slows R18+ Rating Process

    I don't see a problem. They are stalling because the majority of people who care about the issue are for the rating? What the hell? This government needs to stop treating us like children who can't take care of ourselfs. Give us the damn rating, I don't see any reason to stop it.
