Blocked by Netflix last night, had to rent Ant-Man on PS store. Probably the most expensive way to rent it, but was worth it. Abbey loved it, and I enjoyed the heck outta it again

Yeah Getflix had some issues yesterday but they got right on it and now it's back up and working again. Guess it's going to be cat and mouse for future.
For browsers at least. All my devices still dont work. Hopefully they can work something out, as I never use a browser for video streaming.

I'm just using a free chrome extension as a VPN and it seems to be working okay for netflix stuff. I think it's called hola?
Oh the date's been announced finally?
Not sure whether or not to wait for the 3 game bundle in Aus and miss out on the stuff in the Japanese version, or just buy it in Japanese :S

Umm, Japanese didn't totally click with me until I did a year of intermediate units at uni. If I include the 2 yrs of hsc beginners (which actually could have been 1 year in uni), I guess my official study time is 3 years. Overall probably a bit more considering all the time I spent on japanese media stuff and what not.
I mean, if you don't mind maybe missing out on some of the story nuance in FE (lol), you should totally try and play it in Japanese. From memory, Awakening's language was relatively simple, plus you're probably familiar with all the mechanics and stuff. It will be a good learning experience!

I'm regretting this Pokemon Yellow Nuzlocke already, Gen 1 Psychic types are terrifying.
She was on my bus into town today, doesn't appear to remember me. Clearly my fuckup wasn't colossal enough but on the bright side she probably lives on my side of town. I will continue to try to keep you posted of this mundane situation in an fashion exaggerated for comic effect.
think i'll feel good enough for that after n3 in july maybe...

I require hourly updates.
EB had the pre-order of Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition set at $199 (TBD) pricing before the Nintendo direct and I wanted to wait until the pricing was announced before ordering. I went to order the day after the direct (announced as $129) and it was already sold out
Doesn't look like JB is getting it. I've made a pre-order with MightyApe but their pricing is still TBD after the Nintendo direct so I'm not sure whether they'll actually get any stock. Fingers crossed though.
Well, Lt Surge killed my favourite team members without breaking a sweat. Literally could've murdered my entire party but chose not to.
Wasn't at work today, clearly she lurks AusGAF and has run away
Did I somehow miss the news that you left Australia? Shit.
Also, totally get that Stripes reference. LOUIE LOUIE!

For those using Netflix unblock services, and being blocked: Do you change regions often? Are people not changing regions frequently still using the service?
Just a theory really, wondering whether they have something looking at accounts that change region within some sort of threshold.

Definitely sounds like the sort of thing someone would say after unblocking someone.
/s I guess in case it wasn't clear.

How on earth did you know it was a Stripes reference from "To quote the movie,Stripes. "Son of Bitch. Shit.""
You are truly a sevant.

Tunnelbear was a great alternative back in the day, partially free I think. Jintor did/currently uses it?
Try Getflix! They have a 2 week trial. They offer VPN & DNS for the one price.
iTunes offer that? Maybe that Ultraviolet thing too? I've never tried them tbh sorry

Maybe itunes, I can't seem to find out without installing it. Thanks though, I'll try that ultraviolet thing

Rang the local council up to get some bogans car towed away that's been "dumped" on the side of the road with no rego etc. Let's see how long they take.
im guessing they won't do anything

There was an abandoned Toyota Camry outside my place for month or more and that's still after we and other neighbours reported it after a couple of days. Oddly it took them about 2 hours to remover the last dead Kangaroo.

I don't have my hopes up. I generally wouldn't care, it's more the fact that the fuckwit parked it a metre off the curb and blocks part of a t-intersection.

Yeah they won't do shit for ages unless they get constant complaints. Better to call a local wrecker and see if they want it for free.

I'm surprised that no store, not even EB is doing a midnight launch for The Division.
You mean "savant"?

That's a great idea.
Well I basically never moved it from US and I still got blocked. I think I moved it once when Japan started to see how much anime it had but that was a bout it.
One surprise being shunted to netflix oz is them actually having some more current movies.

missed this >< Thanks Rep. I'd try getflix but I'm not sure how well it'll continue to work in the future with the issues it's having now.

I'm going to take your word on that. Who am I to argue with a sevant?

There was a burnt-out car opposite across the road from a school AND a church in my neighborhood and was, amusingly, not moved for like 3 weeks.

I've pretty much stoppped using my Netflix subscription since the crack-down, should really cancel it, actually. Can Getflix access US Netflix without interrupting my household's other browsing habits even on same PC? Or is it like a VPN where all traffic is forwarded?

Actually fuck Netflix :/
Servers might not go online until like 9am here possibly?
No probs! Give them a shot as they seem the best at avoiding the block. I'm still having zero issues connecting to US Netflix.

Servers go live @ Midnight tonight

Yeah, I wanted it too but I don't wanna order it from MightApe.

Really strange then...
Sameeeeeeeeeeeeee. Fuck I hate how they release movies here. Last school holidays had fuck all to watch, now we have Kung Fu Panda 3 and Zootopia opening a week apart!
Find a copy of the Final Cut version on Blu Ray. Really amazing remaster of the movie the way the director intended. Theatrical version was fucked around with by the studio a lot.
Wow.
Then again I knew someone (in their 30s) who untill last year had never seen any star wars.
If anyone is still having trouble with Getflix or whatever you can sign up for https://borderlessinternet.com/ for free until July. Apparently it works.
I'm still looking for something that will let me access Netflix Japan though. I was in the middle of watching Terrace House...

We got businesses with fibre now and TV episodes that air hours after the USA. Yet we wait weeks, even months, for movies. AWFUL. Hopefully I don't get the whole movie spoiled before it even premieres here.
