he'd like Activisions 2012 lineup to arrive on his doorstep
that said Hyper gave it an 8 which surprised me
and Jintors review of Kirby was awesome :d
fixed
There was that edutainment game you spoke of, plus there was an arcade game in 1982. Some stupid review site mentioned that the history of Zookeeper DX was that the first game in the series was that said arcade game, before it was "updated" on the DS 25 years or so later before coming out on iOS. Fucking idiot.
It was... it had the words appear at the bottom of the screen.
Oh my yes. But make sure you search for "Zookeeper". If you search for zoo keeper, it doesn't come up with it, just a knockoff game and an app for the movie called Zookeeper (which I'm guessing is based on the DS/iOS game, probably according to that first reviewer).

This is Mario Kart's 7th game of doing nothing new but only Modern Warfare's 3rd.
lol, how do you manage to blame the Libs for that?
How many successful franchises ever DRASTICALLY change what they're doing?
why would you?
You buy MW3 to piss about in modern warfare settings. you just hope that they've upgraded things, fixed game play bugs, made the mechanics better, and prettier.
What you don't want them to do is to change it into MW4, fighter pilot.
well young liberal its like this,
I'm not blaming the libs for the budget, i am blaming them for having zero flexibility on the surplus requirement at all
The fact is we should probably not have a surplus next year due to Europe and the stimulus required to kick the economy along but Swan and Gillard know that Tony will go at them like a pack of dogs if they don't
Therefore because tony is demanding a surplus even though everything has changed and gone to shit in Europe, the government cannot run the country properly as politically they cannot afford to not have a surplus even though every economist is saying they should not be aiming at a surplus
So basically because we have the Noalition we cannot run the country effectively and soundly based on economists.
and the libs blocking Malaysia and then the high court decision has added 200 million dollars to the cost of asylum seekers.
I am not the biggest fan of labor but there is zero doubt that TA is having a very bad fucking effect on this country. You know why everything is slowing down here? because people aren't spending because dickhead is on the tv every day telling everyone how bad it is
fuck me, he needs to be a polly in Europe right now to know what bad is.....
edit: in mario kart you can customise your karts for the first time. Thats new....
It's not Abbott's fault that Labor don't have the balls to implement good policy and sell it to the electorate.
I think you gotta PM Gaz or Marshmellow with a gmail address to get them to add you
BTW, i'm glad someone is putting pressure on labor to produce a balanced fucking budget. Massive deficits and huge debts are driving policies in many countries around the world, because it's either fix your debt or the country is bankrupt (lets ask Argentina how that's working out). Lets not become one of them.

So the bunch of words I wrote that Jintor suggested I turn into a comic has been comicalised.
Zookeeper DX is awwwwwesome. My mother in law has gone through two DS's playing that game obsessively every day for the past two or three years. I had to use the jaws of life to get my iPad out of her vice-like grip once she found out there was an iOS version. It's really well done, just wish the high score tables weren't so broken

It's been working out fine for the US...
You might want to ask the California employees who got IOU's for a few weeks about that.
And the Californians who got IOU's for their tax return.
True, but we're a long way off that. They're trying to get back into surplus ASAP at the expense of all else purely for political reasons, not because it's a good idea.
There is new shit though. New tracks, new power-ups, new characters, new game modes, new gameplay.
Every MK game since the original NES version has had new stuff added, subtracted and polished.
I just find it preposterous that he gives MW3 a 9.5 and MK7 a 5. He even said in the MW3 review that it's mostly the same game, then when the same thing happens for MK7 he shits on it.
Maybe, and i get that defecits CAN be good. But lets not pretend that large chunk of the last lot of debt (rudd bucks being a large slice) was moronically spent.
Why that money wasn't spent building infrastructure projects, paying people at all levels salaries, i'll never know.
see today's headlines in news limited because middle class welfare was pared back marginally?
multiply that by ten if the government's creative accounting falls on their face ._.
But Abbott is still a major tool. I'm probably going to have to vote Labor by default simply to keep him out of office.
yes but if we force ourselves into a recession by having a surplus, is that good economic management, of course its not
of course labor SHOULD have a surplus but given Europes situation, being so one eyed that it must be a surplus is wrong
Giri the question you should be asking is why did Howard let our infrastructure go to fucking shit nationwide whilst building a massive surplus
Abbott is lucky labor is so bad. Why? because in the 2 prime minister preferred poll he is trailing gillard. 2 party he isnt, but clearly the electorate thinks tony is a massive tool
Also Tony suffered another loss yesterday when Fitch ratings upgraded Australia to AAA credit rating in US dollars
No other government in Australian history has had all 3 major ratings agencies @ AAA

They've only been in debt since they became the US, and 80% of the past 70 years has been budget deficits. There's no problem at all!
Also I don't have a copy of the link to the AusGAF Community Google docs thing either. I couldn't find it in the email of the account that was given access...
That's probably close to what it would have looked like if it existed.uhm...thats what the box looked like?
lol, thanks choc
hope you like the Origins review I did for this issue, though you can probably guess how I thought about it.
I really like Ryan Davis's Mario Kart 7 review he did for GiantBomb. It's good writing.
Because he was paying off debt? So that we're not as fucked as Europe?
Our infrastructure also wasn't "fucking shit", but there was, and always will be, room for improvement.
In fact, one of the first things Rudd did was slash HUGE amounts of infrastructure spending that the libs had planned.
But we'll ignore all that.

Exactly!
Choc, blaming Tony Abbott for low consumer confidence is completely ridiculous. You're waaaaaaay overestimating how much attention the general populace pays to politics when an election isn't on.

I'm enjoying Skyrim, the game is like a time machine, hours just disappear.
its not fucking bullshit
each night on 7 and 9 you have abbott rabbiting off on the news about confidence and the news limited shock jocks writing about it as well
they dont follow politics but they watch the news. You are overestimating Australians
ability to not disect what they read between bullshit and truth and underestimating the medias agenda and influence on the general populace
its well quoted every day by many people that this is the truth. Tony is harming confidence.
Also businesses have said by him saying he will repeal the carbon tax they have no idea what to invest in and so they are not investing at all
That Malaysia one is pissing me off

how much are commonwealth bank shares now?
not to mention paying Telstra 30 billion to lease back the copper network.....
Add that to the tax cuts the coalition put through just before the GFC and you can see why the public has been royally fucked.

Trying to get an objectionable review of anything Nintendo from most of the mainstream gaming media (and 99% of its the US media, not AU) is like well something very hard.
Nintendo 'ruined' a lot these guys childhoods you see, these guys are all late 20s to early 30 year olds who are still just giant kids who argue over which is better Sonic or Mario, PSX or N64's. They're still pissing on Nintendo for the whole 'motion' thing and 'killing gaming'.
There is also the whole fact that Nintendo as a company don't do the whole PR junket thing. So no free flights to the HQ to play this game, no hotel rooms booked, no PR kit full of V drinks, a mini-fridge and copies of Maxim for every big game that comes out. No hookers and blowjobs to get a good review either.
Every review of MW3 has been the same, 'its the same game, no change to the formula etc'. But it still gets a 9, 10 out of 10. Why?
Reviewer was probably getting his dick sucked the whole time he wrote it.

Abbott is just doing his job as an opposition leader. Of course he's contrarian as fuck. If the public are listening to him more than the government, the fault doesn't just lie with him.
Fans of the genre will be happy, others should try before they buy.

Much nicer to play with your finger than a DS stylus, which iin turn was much better than using the D-pad on the GBA version, and the huge screen is awesome! However there are less game modes and I particularly miss the 6 minute challenge mode. But totally worth a few bucks

Bought. Will give it a whirl on the train ride home.
MW3 has a metascore of 89 while MK7 has a metascore of 87. That's near enough as makes no difference. Meanwhile Zelda outscored a tonne of blockbusters. Not seeing the anti-Nintendo bias here.
That'd be the same News Corporation that's shouting for a surplus SURPLUS SURPLUS AT ALL COSTS!!!!
Having the nickname Dr no is not necessarily a good thing
he has rejected bad policy, which is good but he has rejected every policy, even good ones. Therefore its a bit boy who cried wolf
effective opposition, opposes that which is shit. There has been real shit but by rejecting malayisa (and i am not saying i supported it) he has shot his own party in the foot because it made Howards law illegal.
That's crap. People love to bag a government. Abbott is just taking the cheap, easy line of no substance.
