Title: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Bloodworth on November 25, 2003, 05:47:03 AM
This thread is for Australian Nintendoists to chat, complain, and gloat about things happening in Australia.  

The original thread had becomed overwhelmed with people bragging about post counts and blathering on about anything without regard or respect for the original purpose for the thread.

If you're going to visit, please respect our Australian readers and keep the conversation on topic.  You have all of general chat to speak on these other subjects.

As being an adopted Aussie, or at least I think I still am. I would like to ask of those that I have chatted with before, what are your online schedules.  Because if you read my journal you will see that I am trying to get better at signing in to chat, so if I knew when you were on, I would be more motivated to sign in, instead of just signing in at random and by luck someone else is on.

Hey Nitsu.  We have met once on MSN messenger with the other guys.  Your the one that is older than me .  The one who took my "old man" title.  But since you haven't been there, I got it back hehe.  The guys are usually on at about maybe 11 pm your time on the weekdays.  Hopefully this thread will keep on stable grounds this time.  I'm an honorary Aussie too .

It's about time the old Aussie thread got taken down...

As for the Aussie online times, I usually see PIAC, Mario, Infernal, etc. on around 12 midnight EST, at the earliest...Just about the time I go to bed, too...

welll.... i can't say i blame bloodworth for locking the other one, it was crashing and burning and i didn't like it anymore anyway :\ partially my fault, which is kinda annoying, aslong as this one stays on topic.

as for me i'm online from between 11am to 4pm up untill about 10:30 pm, what that translates to in crazy US time i'm not sure, and berto being a zombie only confuses me as to what the time is over there ^_^

and now, back on topic, Mario and Luigi for GBA hits friday, and i'm faced with a dilemma, i prommised my self i wouldn't buy anymore games this year, but it sounds sooooo good! to buy or not to buy...

Post by: akdaman1 on November 25, 2003, 08:12:30 AM
Well I know you all love me ...so I am on ussually at 5.30 - 7.30 am in the morning , and then again at 4-6 pm in the afternoon , and then again at 7.30-10.

Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: nitsu niflheim on November 25, 2003, 08:22:52 AM
Buy it PIAC, it is possibly one of the best games I have gotten this year.  I put it right up there with Zelda: Wind Waker.  Fun, Fun, Fun.  Go read my review in the review section.

*A side note*  If you see me online during the day during the week from Mon-Fri US EST time, then I am at work, so I can't really chat outside of here or at GF.  I'm really not suppose to be online, because I should be doing work.

only confuses me as to what the time is over there ^_^


reminds me of the time I tried to explain to Termin8 and either Mario or Infernal, the concept of counties inside states.   I succeeded in confusing them.

Ok cool! So who here is Aussie?

I'm not sure when LOTR is coming over in Australia...its coming in the US dec. something...I don't know, I'd have to ask my friend who is obbsessed with LOTR...she was counting down the days until it came last year! I'll ask her tomorrow, 11/26/03.

Edit: she might even know when it is coming out for Australia..
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: mouse_clicker on November 25, 2003, 01:13:18 PM
Return of the King is due out December 17th in the US and December 26th in Australia.

By the way, let me quickly introduce you all to a great informational movie site called The Internet Movie Database (IMDb), where you can find every thing from cast and crew to release dates.

New Zealand has the premier on the 1st of December, and actually gets it the 18th or 19th, I believe. You have to remember, the UK and US is where Lord of the Rings has enjoyed the most success for it's half century or so of publication.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn

Yeah, that's why AU and US should get it in August....

Sorry, i tend to obses over these things. I am reading through the books again. I am on Chapter 3 of the fellowship. Wish me luck. I have a deadline of Dec 19, when I will see the movie.

My theater #$%@ing sold out of tickets for Trilogy Tuesday before I got a chance to buy any. Ah well, they're still showing the extended editions of FotR and TTT back to back a couple times, and I'm sure they'll show the whole trilogy again, maybe after RotK EE comes out.
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Short Girlie on November 25, 2003, 03:17:03 PM
I think I'm going to go..not sure yet...they give you like an hour break between them all, it sounds really cool! I LOVE LOTR! (but not obbsessed)

That's one area I've one upped everybody in geekiness (even manunited!)- I've read LotR 6 times, the Hobbit 4, the Silmarillion 3, and I own 12 History of Middle-Earth books, plus an atlas and a guide to Middle-Earth.  
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Termin8Anakin on November 25, 2003, 03:23:26 PM
Wow, it's finally happened, the Aussie thread has been locked
I guess it didn't really come as a shock though, since there was so much crap going on - we had thought that about the thread for some time - though i didn't really care too much.

I don't know if we get the WHOLE LotR trilogy as a marathon, like they did with Matrix. I know though that we are getting the extended editions: Fellowship is first, then Two Towers. These aren't back to back, so I've heard, they are released seperately for four days or so each. When Two Towers finishes it's run, RotK is released the next day (26th Dec).
Its gonna be so cooool.

Oh crap, I'm two hours late for work -___- cya later dudes!

As for ROTK, I couldn't bear to sit for nine hours. And I have the two DVDs already so I'll just see it on opening night (26/11/03 in Australia).

cheers: Don't post them here. Just host them somewhere and link to them. Geocities is a good free host for something like that.

Hey Bloodworth , I honestly cant imagine you skanking for 3 reasons...

2. I dont know what you look like beside some guy with Green hair...( Got that off your avatar )

Hehehe, That reminds me of the time on CNNNN when they interviewed some Americans about what country to invade next and they labeled Tasmania South Korea and the mainland North Korea. hehe.

Woah I'm not taking it off-topic already am I? Well yeah, i cant belive what happened to my creation! 'm glad this one is sticky though.

Now because of Exams and stuff I've been behind in game release schedules for a long time now. I hear that mario Kart is out! Anyway guys fill me in on any signifigant games since Final Fantasy Tactics (which I dont own yet, but I think I knew what was going on when it came out.)

skanking
   "sk-a-nk-ing"   Click once to rate this definition: (votes: 5)

   a term used for the type of dancing to ska, very similar to the dancin you used to do at disco's and weddings as i child, but wif more kicking and punching. skanking wos made famous by madness. skanking is dancing to ska dont except any other definition!


source urbandictionary.com

3. mean? no, moderator? yes, he's just enforceing the rules layed down, if we didn't have people like bloodworth here we would have a clone of gamefaqs or game informer forums, utter bollox.

Rename it 'Official Australian PGC Visitors Thread II': it's familiar, yet the 'II' signifies a drastic change.
That episode of CNNNN was absolutely hilarious!
Those yanks have no idea of the world around them do they, yet some are so into enforcing the American way to the rest of the world.....it's pretty sad, I think.
There is this HILARIOUS 'music video' of George Bush and Tony Blair 'singing' the duet Endless Love, with Bush as Lionel Richie and Blair as Diana Ross. Their mouth movements form various speeches and announcments were spliced and edited to make it sounds like they were singing.
It's HILARIOUS!
Here's a link:
http://politicalhumor.about.com/cs/bushmultimedia/v/blendlesslove.htm

You can see the reasoning behind this video, if you've been following world events for the past couple of years
Now all they need to do is make one of John Howard and George Bush, and perhaps one with all three

I managed to post a message right after Bloodworth posted his, and right before he locked the thread.

The only way to read it, is to change the page number to 202 because of something in the forums that won't let you read the first post on a new page until a second post has been made.

awwwwww, there goes the aussie thread, our first true home .

Oh well, time to move on, thanks Bloodworth, i guess, for starting a new one and also for making it a sticky.

Damn those are some good bargains Infernal! Well, not really, but they're pretty good! I might have to get Mario and Luigi, SMA4 and/or Pokemon Pinball and Donkey Kong Country on Saturday. Yay! *probably wont buy anything *

Im starting to see more game commercials here, ive seen ads for Backyard Wrestling, XIII, Prince of Persia, the Mario Kart one, that PS2 ad with all the people and others... that i forgot. The absence of GBA advertising anywhere is worrying me a bit, hopefully there will be some Mario and Luigi ads though.

The backyard wrestling commericial is so sad, its shows all these 'super cool' moves and claims its "as interactive as Tony Hawks Pro Skater", whatever THAT means. Also shows the pathetic graphics, and claims them to be "Stunning!", and shows playboy and/or maxim magazine or whatever giving it a whopping THREE STARS, as if that's supposed to impress people, heh. Then it shows PS2 and Xbox logo's then some retard screams out "rated M for MATUUURREEEE. Ive only seen that one on MTV, but it's on heaps.

The commercial for XIII makes the game look really good, has impressive footage from the game, and actually shows the GameCube logo, and its the first and biggest logo they show, yay! Saw that on channel... 7 i think it was. Also Prince of Persia PS2 ad is on heaps, and it looks really good, goddamit i want the GC version, i wish it was out here, oh well i'll get it next year. Love that Mario Kart commercial (yes we got the same one as the US did, but with slightly different gameplay footage and voice over), but i need to see it more, come on Nintendo Australia, actually spend that money! Oh, and that PS2 ad is wierd, with all the people... and the tower of people... and... it scares me. It doesnt even show any games, or even the console, oh well its cool i guess, meh. At least it's not as bad as the Jak II commercial... which scared me deep inside. *curls into a ball*

Oh yeah, how could i forget about the XBOX MALL TOURS -__-. I swear if i hear about them one more time im going to... register my disgust on the internet. Xbox is a huge sponser of MTV, and they do lots of Xbox promoting and show clips of losers pretending to have fun playing Top Spin or Project Gotham Racing 2 like every five minutes. Oh yeah and im getting an Xbox sometime between now and christmas.

RABicle: Yeah, i would have used the fully round one if i could find it anywhere, believe me i searched, but couldnt find one big and clear enough to be worthy of our avatars. Find me a decent sized aussie round one and i'll change it.  
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Termin8Anakin on November 27, 2003, 01:02:29 AM
I'm actually pretty pissed off that Mario's getting an Xbox.

I know I know, it's his choice to make, and the fact that he's getting it for free is more of an incentive to have one, but hey, Mario owning an Xbox is kinda funny ain't it?
You can just scratch your heads and wonder why the hell I'm saying this in the first place, Mario most of all, it's just that now, Mario is the first person I know who has an XBox. Not one of my friends has an Xbox (they all have PS2s), so I find it kind of weird.
The thing about Xbox is that I just hate it. There, I've said it. As much as I like to remain as unbiased as possible when it comes to other consoles, I just can't muster up the same will power to bottle my hatred of MS and the XBox (N-Gage comes second). It's only a small part to do with Rare, but it's more to do with Bill Gates and MS. I know the same can be said about us and our 'worshipping' of Shigeru Miyamoto, but the sight of people worshipping Bill cause he and his minions invented an easy-to-use-but-not-really-stable operating system is just a bit out there. And just view this video to see what i mean. It's not Bill Gates, but you'll get the drift.
www.angelfire.com/games3/superspam007/MonkeyBoy.htm

We love Shigsy cause he created characters and worlds that have captured our imaginations and hearts. He's like the Walt Disney, or Steven Speilberg, or George Lucas of games.

When asked about all three consoles, the best I can do is just say that each one has it's good points and bad points, but that I would prefer Nintendo's console.
My point is that I can only really come off as a NIntendo purist. It drives me mad that I can't seem to ever get comforable mentioning PS2 and XBox in the same light as NIntendo, cause it only seems to give people more of a reason to piss me off.
If it continues, I'll just have to vent my anger on someone. I've been more and more tempted to actually beat the living crap out of one guy who only EVER says to me that Xbox was the greatest and Nintendo sucked ass. It haunts me to no end. It's like they will never stop until they 'convert' me to the cool side. Hurting someone seems to be the only answer.
The next best thing is F-Zero X's Death Race .

I am only happy when playing games on a Nintendo system, because even though the games come far and few, I know that I'll enjoy them, and more so simply cause they're on a Nintendo.
The only time I'll buy another company's system is if Nintendo go third party, and abandon console making forever. And judging by recent announcements, that seems pretty much unlikely, and that makes me an evern more happy man.

Call me a stubborn bitch if you want.
I don't give a flyin' f**k.
That's why I'm ranting about it in a NIntendo forum, and not somewhere else.
I'm posting it in this thread cause it was promted by Mario buying an Xbox.
So Mario, you are still a Nintendo freak to me, Xbox or not. It's a shame that a couple of 'good games' and Rare's name has finally managed to suck you in. Just don't bring it to any multiplayer nights, if we have any, because you know I damage it in some way. And there's no tongue face, because i am actually dead serious about that.

Dont worry if he takes it round to your place. A friend of mine ounce brought his over (he needed a suitcase, cos he brought 4 controllers as well) and when he plugged it in I immediatly put the Gamecube on top of it and said "I like the cube's new stand"
he the commented on liking the Xbox's new hat but oh well.
Still that Steve ballmer stuff should be enough to scare anyone from Microsoft, he's the companies vice president. He's a very influeential man, if you look around the web you might find a movie of him getting a whole crowd to chant "Developers, developers, developers, developers" with him. It was those skills that made M$ send him to Australia when Telstra announced plans to replace he OS on ALL their computers to Sun OS, because the didn't like the XP licencing agreement. Really though, he is a lunatic. Play that movie in double speed, the audience sound like squealing pigs (really, they do)
Anyway yeah, for those who are interested this is my list of Nintendo games I need to catch up on and buy.
F-Zero GX
Mario Kart
Skies of Arcadia
Final Fantasy Tactics
Mario and Luigi
Viewtiful Joe
Soul Caliber 2
Prince of Persia
Animal Crossing

I need a job.

I can get you a job selling obscurities to certain individuals in South America. Gimme a call if you want to hear more.

EDIT: Oh yeah, one more thing. Where can I fill out an application for Aussie acceptance? My resume is at least one line of text when the font size>90. I um... my teacher is from Australia and um...I know how to use fair dinkum in a sentence because of her....and I'm posting in the Aussie thread...so...bye.

*steals Aussie seal of approval avatar flashy thing from thePerm*
Too bad it doesnt matter how many *'s I put in there. I still won't be accepted by the Aussies. My teacher hates me. Or at least I think she does. It's weird 'cause she's the nicest person I've ever met.

Cheers: Rare are still at work on Kameo. Apparently its quite improved, not just visually, and this is one of the reasons Mario is 'defecting'. And they did Conkers 'I Never Saw That Coming' BFD + Live something or other. So yes, they are alive. Just very quiet, which is what they have done in the past.

Rabicle:
F-Zero GX - OMG you HAVE to see this in motion. Playing this game is amazing. Amazingly hard too!
Mario Kart - another definite. Single player does wear thin, but multi makes this a keeper!
Skies of Arcadia - can't comment - haven't been able to find one *reaches for PIACs copy, realises his arm isn't 1500km long*
Final Fantasy Tactics - not real happy with this one. Got boring and confusing very fast. Is now collecting dust.
Viewtiful Joe - YES! This game is so cheesy that you could throw it on a pizza by itself. And its fun and challeging too. Get it!
Soul Caliber 2 - I have this one, but I was never a fighting game fan. If you are, you'll love it. If not, *shrug*
Prince of Persia - If this game is as good as the hype surrounding it, I'll get it.
Animal Crossing - Haven't got this one - I don't have much time to throw at this game at the moment.

Termin8: Who said violence doesn't solve anything? Not me!

Mario: If distance wasn't a problem, I'd be over there SO FAST to slap some sense into you!

oww allright, i guess i will post here

i've talked mum into buying me Mario and Luigi for christmas and Starfox Adventures, thanks Shifty and Infernal for the tips about KMart and Big W (i can get a further 5% discount at Big W ) and that means i won't drop the games i'm currently playing (or half playing *points to most GCN titles*) but it does put my getting of a PS2 for christmas somewhat in doubt, but that's okay i'm not in that much of a rush to get one....... or am i...

speaking of PS2 related shenanigans is the futurama game any good does anyone know? even if it's medicore I'll still end up getting it, i <3 futurama ^_^, also read this description of FFX by Big W's website
Quote

Final Fantasy X Platinum Edition
If Final Fantasy X has an overriding key theme, then it has to be water. From the lead character's name (Tidus) to the nature of the world-threatening enemy (a huge demon-whale known as Sin), FFX takes every opportunity to bombard you with sub-aqua shenanigans

Rating: G8+

sub-aqua shenanigans? that has got to be the funniest description i've ever heard, makes FFX seem like a comedy game ^_^

oh yeah, don't worry about Mario getting an xbawx, it's free i would take one if it was free also, free = good.

Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Termin8Anakin on November 27, 2003, 01:47:35 PM
nope, not yet.
Sony have the dastard time-exclusivity for the PAL regions remember?
Now people will think this game is only on PS2, and people will buy PS2s for this game, cause Sony even released a POP PS2 pack! HOw sh*tty is that!
I'll bet you anything that when it comes out for GC and Xbox, no one will buy it, cause no one knew that it would come out cause they all would have it on PS2 already.

Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Infernal Monkey on November 27, 2003, 02:51:28 PM
Of course no one will buy PoP on GameCube and Xbox. Seeing as the game is utter rubbish.
Oh wait.. People will buy it on Xbox, then. Anything to tide over the wait for Halo 2. Reminds me of the Nintendo 64 days when I'd buy crap games during the dry spells between Rare/Nintendo games. C'mon... Perfect.. Dark... Only ... Four.. Months.. To.. Go. *Buys Dark Rift*

As for the whole Mario and Xbox thing. I don't care, it's his choice. CHOICES ARE GOOD! Besides, Midtown Madness 3 makes that entire pack worth it. If I had an extra $350 laying around (BWA HA HA HA.. But at the same time.. ), I'd get it. Seems all the good games I got pissed off waiting for got released right after I sold my Xbox last year (Morrowind, Panzer Dragoon.. And stuff) -_-

Hey PIAC, you know.. You just made me question myself.. Why on Earth haven't I hired out Futurama? O_o
I have the demo, and it's generally a very funny game. The demo level had Fry running around the Sewers in search.. Of.. Something, blasting crap and yelling out hilarious one-liners. I want the game, but I don't really want to pay $100 for it. Apparently it's not a very long game, but the hilarity should make up for it.

Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Mario on November 27, 2003, 04:02:07 PM
Geez, it's not that big of a deal, im getting an xbox, hurray. Teh end. Honestly, the main reason im getting it, is because my dad wants it, so he can watch DVDs, since my PS2s insane DVD reading ability was cut short. Lets see, if i get the Beast pack then i will have Midtown Madness 3 and Brute Force.. im not sure if i want those games or not, but hey, its a good deal! I might not even get any games for it straight away, but i definately am renting Halo, to see what all the fuss is about. And i want GBTG too, and future Rare games, of course. Oh, and Panzer Dragoon Orta! I'd get that! Oh, and Top Spin! Yay! I still love Nintendo the most though

And i will be getting Prince of Persia on GameCube, when the Cube version comes out, which is either December 5 here, or sometime next year. And I really really want it, it looks so AWESOME!

Post by: cheers69 on November 27, 2003, 04:05:57 PM
I'd buy POP on XBOX if I had one because it runs at 60fps and the sound quality is much better. Who in this forum has played Mario Kart on LAN?

Game of the month on IGN

If I hear Mario picking up Halo for cheap, then its a problem

As for different versions of POP, the differences are very slight. Sure, the XBOX version may look better, but it is because the platform is more PC-developer friendly, with some more grunt. The GC version could have been up to that same standard if they put in more effort, but I guess with three simultaneous versions being developed at once, they weren't going to be the same.

According to IGN, the GBA/GCN link has a couple of bonuses, particularly unlocking the original POP and some health bonus dealy. And the XBOX version has POP2 to unlock. *gets weighing scales out for some reason*

But my choice is already made. Go the Cube!

PoP was fun, PoP two i played for all of 4 seconds in a store one day PoPSoT seems like a steamy load to me, and err yeah, pizza is good.

oh yeah, that's something i totally forgot about, i can rent PS2 games now i might even rent futurama and then buy it, i don't care how short it is, if it's funny even in the slightest it's mine , oh yeah the exclusive TV episode on it, i wantee watchee

Nope. I'm not joking.
I didn't like it from the moment I saw the E3 video. And now that I've played it via the OPSM2 demo, I hate it. It's NOT Prince of Persia. It's like Enter the Matrix sans guns crossed with a TOILET.

I played a demo of PoP, and can say that I was not impressed at all.  It turned me off so much that it made me want to avoid the game at all costs. Prince of Poo, more like it.

Does a Australian Xbox let you watch DVD's right outof the box, or do you need extra stuff like my dumb old North American system?

I am really really annoyed, confused, angry, and sad that Nintendo Australia have decided not to release 1080 Avalanche until February next year. I dont understand why, since the PAL version is already out, and all it would take to release it is to put the damn game on store shelves. *sigh* Another failed season for good old Nintendo Australia.

And i am also really annoyed confused angry and sad that the new Zelda bonus disk will not be released here. Honestly, i would like to know what the hell Nintendo Australia are actually doing. I still stand by my belief that there are undercover Microsoft and/or Sony employees working at Nintendo Australia encouraging the worst possible decisions and doing all they can to bring Nintendo Australia down.

I was really looking forward to getting 1080 for christmas too.

So basically what you are saying is that because you never have any chance of meeting people face to face, you should basically have an elitest attitude and treat them like crap, while hiding behind your veil of anonimity?

I don't care if this is a virtual world or a real world.  The people you talk to each day here are very real people, just like you and me.  Whether they are typed to, or spoken to, they are still going to understand the words you put in front of them.

I don't ask that you be "super nice" to everyone you meet, as obviously some people are going to annoy the hell out of you.  I do ask that you behave like a decent human being.

akdaman, by now I am sure you know that you simply do not have any fans.  But I will speak in your defense.  What your thread was, was a big hive of rule violations.  That's why I reported it to a moderator.  You weren't banned because you quite simply didn't know any better I am sure.  Currently the moderation around here is fairly lenient with such things.

PIAC got banned because he BLATANTLY violated a BIG rule here to get his poke at you.  He has himself to blame, and not you.

And when did this place become rag on Piac?

Grey, you shouldn't take things to serious, because in your discussion with Piac you came off as an ass yourself.

I don't ask that you be "super nice" to everyone you meet, as obviously some people are going to annoy the hell out of you. I do ask that you behave like a decent human being.


And why is it really any of your concern, he wasn't talking to you?  Was he?

Perm, you make me cry, you are hosting your own avatar again.  Just kidding.  It was a pleasure hosting it for you.

nitsu, quite frankly, I don't care what you think of me.  Things needed to be said.  I said them.  And in PIAC's words, I don't regret saying them.

That's nice, because quite frankly I don't don't give a damn one way or another if I am going to be truthful.  And really, it wasn't your "place" to say them.  It didn't concern you.  From the chat you and PIAC had, you just seem to be to be more pissed at him because he didn't agree with you over S-U-P-E-R.

Guys, this is really sad.  The forums have been a mess for weeks with spam and now that people are actually posting it's because of fighting.  I keep hoping the energy around here is going to turn around and get better, but I'm losing hope.  

I can't believe that two of my favorite people here are fighting and that one of them got banned.  

I'm actually really sick right now so I need to go, but please stop.  
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: nitsu niflheim on November 30, 2003, 01:21:05 PM
I agree, we shouldn't be fighting, but PIAC's not here to defend himself.  And PIAC is a friend so I can't just let him be dragged through the mud.

But, fighting get us nowhere, so I'm not gonna fight anymore.

Alright, you want to know what brought that on?  I am currently not feeling that well, and missed a day of work because I am sick.  I am treating it with copious amounts of alcohol.  I started drinking shortly before talking to PIAC, and I was continuing the whole time I was talking to him.  truth be told, I thought I would regret blocking him the next day.  But I don't.  I feel like I have done the most right thing I could have done under the circumstances.

PIAC showed a side of himself that I had never really seen before when I was reading the chat log with her and the princess.  It was really bothering me when I was reading it.  I confronted him about it first thing when we began talking, as it was really bothering me.  PIAC was behaving like much of what I hate about the internet culture.  I quite simply DO NOT care what that girl did to bring about PIAC's wrath in the first place.  I suspect that she didn't behave in a manner that PIAC liked, and he goaded her into fighting with him.  But that's irrelevant.  I don't really care what she did.  She didn't deserve to be treated in such a fashion by someone who didn't even know her.

I backed off earlier in the conversation, because I knew that if I continued, it would result in a pretty big war.  When I was arguing with him over SUPER, I was becoming more and more irritated, because his arguments were just pathetic.  (seriously... an extra folder in your favorites folder is a major problem?)  In the end, I became irritated enough with him to do what I didn't want to do at the start, and simply blocked him.  By that point I was feeling pretty embarrassed that I had once considered him a friend.  I thought I picked friends better than that.

As far as it not concerning me...  I suppose you could say the same thing about some guy walking down the street watching some neo-nazi beating up some black guy.  It really doesn't concern him, does it.  So by your logic, he should just keep walking.  By my personal code, I CANNOT do that.

Ms. Pikmin, I'm sorry.  But this is a fight I simply cannot back down from.  If PIAC hadn't gotten banned last night, I wouldn't even be here right now.  I was prepared to walk away for good.  This fight wouldn't have even gone public if PIAC hadn't made his chat log public.  As far as I am concerned, this fight was between me and PIAC.

S-U-P-E-R, if you are reading this, I want you to know that I think that you and me are square now.  I over-reacted when you and I fought before.  Mods who use their power lightly is something that really and truly bothers me.  But I also have profound respect for those who make the right choice when confronted with a difficult situation.  Banning PIAC could not have been an easy thing to do, and I have nothing but respect for you for actually going through with it.  You made the right choice, when I know that it would have been very difficult to do.

No, it went to tubgirl.  And it wasn't like the first time someone here has posted a link to there, and they weren't banned for it.  I know for a fact they weren't.  Whether they were warned I don't know, because I never asked.

That other person was also PIAC...  Though is that the reason why he was banned?

Yep, it was him.  If he didn't get banned for that then, then why did the mods decide that this time he should be?  I'm not saying he should have done it, but it's not like the first time a link to that site was posted here.
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn

I clicked it and it (possibly fortunately) did not work.

Wait, so all PIAC did was post the tubgirl thing link and thats why he was banned?
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Bill Aurion on November 30, 2003, 02:13:19 PM
Well if that's true, then I wouldn't be asking why he was banned for posting it this time, but rather why he wasn't for posting it the last time...Warning or not it's not allowed...

You agree that you will not use our forums to post any material, or links to any material, which is knowingly false and/or defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, vulgar, hateful, harassing, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, invasive of a person's privacy, or otherwise violative of any law.

And just in case anyone asks, I am by no means against PIAC, and I believe he should be unbanned if he apologizes...
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Hostile Creation on November 30, 2003, 02:23:14 PM
I thought it was Infernal Monkey that posted that, anyway.  Or someone else.  It mentions PIAC being banned in another thread. . . some technical poop.

Jeez. I leave for ONE Thanksgiving weekend and PIAC gets banned. *sigh* Well, that just ruined my holiday. PIAC, I miss you.

Wait...tubgirl? Does that mean what I think it means? PIAC posted...pr0n?! GOOD LORD, I missed a lot this weekend.

Post by: Shift Key on November 30, 2003, 02:59:45 PM
Guys, everyone just take a deep breath, count to ten, and look out the window. Has the world ended?
No, of course not.

PIAC's banning was his fault. Although I know better than to click on anything that says "Do not click this", it is sad to see him go for posting pr0n links, even bad ones. I also think PIAC was out of line for posting that conversation with Grey, because it is private. But what's done is done.

I'm not trying to bash PIAC, it'd be the same for anyone who does that kind of thing - read the rules, you have been warned!
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Hostile Creation on November 30, 2003, 03:16:27 PM
Yeah, but it does feel weird that PIAC is gone. . . you think the old guys will never go, and then bang.  It hits you.  The rules still apply.

I'll be treading a little more carefully now

Granted, he did break the rules, but you must take into account that he was not a constant rule breaker.  The thing about banning people is that they may very well keep on doing things wrong, whereas we all know PIAC -generally- abides by the rules.

However, he did break them, and repeatedly, so it's not my decision.  Heck, wouldn't be my decision either way.  Whatever happens, happens.

I'm gonna go sleep.

You know, I cant remeber seeing a Nintendo advert since the "Let's see that again" F1 World Grand Prix ad. But i was watching the Price is right the other day and one of the prizes was a Gamecube++GBA Player+4 gameboy games. Which shits me, why couldn't they throw in a Cube game as well? Anyone watching the show would think that the footage of Super Mario Bros 3 (Which the announcer called new) they showed was the limits of the Gamecube's capabilities. Xbox fucks would be dancing over stuff like that.

Haha, good ol' Sony. I think we still have Beta tapes somewhere in the garage, and I know the machine is hidden in there. I should dig it out one day.

Yeah, I saw that Price is Right thing the other day, and chuckled at Mario 3 running on the GBP. I was thinking the same thing, people will see it as what the GC can handle (SNES graphics maaaaan, stuff thaat, lets buy HALO). Oh well, Price is Right is a crap gameshow now.

See now you obviously don't know me very well at all.  I have really only been pissed one time.  That was when the MK: DD spoilers were mentioned in the other Aussie thread.  Why would anyone seriously take time to look up all those words on thesaurus.com is they were pissed.  Was I a bit mifted when I read his post that wholly said he was going to play SFA? Sure, beacuse it was pointless and unconstructive.  We all follow the rules and guides, everyone can be coo.  But oneliner posts like that just shouldn't happen.  If you want to change the subject, make up a story about something that happened to you or something.

We ussually goto the beach on Christmas and you spend the day outside, everyone is outside and everyone is happy, which makes Christmas special. And then theres boxing day, when theres always a cricket game on Telly and you can watch that or you can go outside and play cricket with your mates.

What do you do in Winter?

Cheers: how are you playing Mario Kart on warp pipe? Did you import a broadband adaptor?

Oh yeah hehehe, forgot to talk about our great Christmas in summer

I don't think I'll ever get used to the idea of a 'white christmas'. I like spending Christmas with the family at the beach, bikini-clad babes running around looking for some action, topless chicks sunbathing in full view of the little kids, me getting tanned, getting your feet burnt off by stepping on the oven-like concrete, and seagulls giving you hell for not feeding them.

THAT'S what I like about summer - it just so happens that Christmas is part of it.
There's more to it that just that, but then I'd be delving into my personal life, and you don't want to know about that.

Yep, we usually light a fire in our fireplace, and if I had a girlfriend would cuddle up with her.  We meet up with some relatives in houses, where we all together .  We sit around and talk bout stuff.  Althoug this year will be a change.  Will be the first without my grandfather whom pasted away in May.  Thanksgiving was kinda strange too.  Then to conclude X-Mas Eve, my family sits down to a big dinner at whosever house we are at.  On X-Mas morning (bout 7 am), my parents like to video tape us kids coming around the hallway corner into the family room and seeing all the stuff on the ground. After a few hours of opening gifts, playing with them we have a lttle breakfast.  Some people come over and we might open more gifts, have more food, watch tv, play with gifts more, then comes another big dinner.

What is that exactly? Well, you'll just have to come over here and experience it!

And I really dislike the cold, so an Aussie Christmas usually involves catching up with relatives, and drinking with the relatives, especially my dad and uncles. And then I'm staying at a beachhouse for a week in the New Year, more partying there! So you can keep your wintry Christmas *hugs alcohol supply*

Yeah the whole big Christmas dinner thing isn't something that we do here. "Hey let's have a giant roasted goose!" "Nah too hot"
Some Christmases (like this forthcoming one for example) we visit my grandma who lives in the city and she makes a big cristmas lunch, usually involving cold foods like fruits and stuff. It's always good.

We have lasgana as our Chirstmas dinner.  It has been a tradition for as long as I can remember in my house.  My mom starts making it like on Christmas Eve.  She makes a lot, we put like 7 or 8 dishes in the freezer and have lasgana year round.  My mom is looking for, or was, a really big pan because like I said, she makes a lot.  I so want a White Christmas this year, they are do rare.  Haven't had one for I don't know how long.

Hey Nitsu, do you mind if I come over for dinner?  Lasagna is my favorite food!

As for a white Christmas, it will never happen here in SC...If we ever get snow(like maybe once a year if we're lucky), it's almost always in February or March...

Well, what a great way to come back to my favorite forums!  PIAC's gone!    I don't want to bring up another whole discussion about this though, because what he did was totally BLOCK-HEADED.  Smoove Moove.  I feel no need to be more careful around here because I have a clean slate and I plan on staying here FOREVER. MWAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!

I really don't know what to say about the whole Grey Ninja situation, though.  If Grey leaves, who will help me fix all my stupid problems?  It's because of him that I'm into anime, can watch Scrapped Princes, have MGS and Xenogears, and now have a PC that can actually DO something.  Please don't go!  (or at least come every once and a while to check you private messages!).

Anyway, back to news, I'm borrowing FF7 for PC for CBB, so I can finally play it.  Stupid broken PS1 disk....  I also have another computer for my room, but I don't have a compatible keyboard or mouse so that's no good (for now, of course).

I also have this great plan for Christmas.  See, what I’ll do is hold my parents gifts hostage until I get what I want.  It’s perfect!

Well, it looks like things are about ready to get back on track, but I wanted to put my last two cents in regarding PIAC.  I'll miss him, he was a great part of the community, but we can't just let veteran posters get by doing stuff that would warrant an instant ban for anybody.  It simply wouldn't be just.

Now please, let's keep the Aussie thread about related discussions (not whether you're going to go play star fox or eat a sandwich).  If you have any more comments regarding PIAC please PM me or keep them to yourself.

I wish it snowed over here. I've always wanted a 'white Christmas'. Like that Christmas song where they say they're dreaming of a white Christmas... Umm.. I think it was called 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down'. I'm not a fan of Summer. Especially not on Christmas Day. "HEY, WAKE UP, IT'S 400000000 + 1 DEGREES OUTSIDE, LETS OPEN PRESENTS. UH OH, THE PLASTIC TREE'S MELTED ALL OVER THE ROOM AGAIN, WANT A BOILING HOT COFFEE?"

I completely forgot that you guys have sweltering Christmases. That's a pity. Granted where I live, a white Christmas is only slightly less rare, it's still fun to wake up and open presents and look outside at the snow and open presents and play in the snow and open presents.
The real meaning of Christmas, kids, is GREED, plain and simple. The colors of Christmas are green and red. Green for the green eyed monster and red for the bloodshed you should cause to get exactly what you want.

Yeah, that used to be what Christmas meant to me. But now, its a lot less materialistic. That and the fact I have a job which means I don't need to wait around to get the stuff I want!

Sweltering Christmas? You've gotta try it at least. Not that I can recall a Christmas day above the century mark (fahrenheit of course ). Those days usually don't start until February, but I could be wrong.

I've wanted to experience a white christmas, so I'd probably jump at the chance in the future.

CD/MP3 player

I'M GETTING A T-SHIRT FOR CHRISTMAS.
Parents asked me if I wanted anything this Christmas, I rattled off a few DVD/game titles.

"OH NO, WE'VE GOTTEN YOU ENOUGH GAMES AND DVDS"
'You haven't gotten me a game since Battletoads on NES, you've never bought me a DVD'
"ERR, YOU GET SHIRT. YOU NEED SOME CLOTHES, COME TO SHOPS TO PICK ONE OUT"

I picked out the crappiest shirt in K-Mart.

I'll ALWAYS be a kid.. on.. you know, inside. I don't ever want to be a serious old man that complains when a can of beans has gone up five cents at Woolworths. BACK IN MY DAY BEANS WERE CHEAP. ACK, MY HEART! TOO MUCH STRESS FROM BEING SERIOUS 24/7! *DEATH*

Post by: Termin8Anakin on December 01, 2003, 03:31:58 PM
I used to get games all the time - for my birthday and for christmas. Now i have to buy them myself
Last year though, I got the cool ass 'James Bond: The Secret World of 007' by Dorling Kindersley, one of my fave publishers of informative books (they're so detailed!).
Its a shame the pressie i got for my sister wasn't as cool
Since me and my sister are all 'grown up' now, Christmas morning at my house just involves waking up, yelling HAPPY CHRISTMAS to each other, then going down to have some weet bix or something
So it's not all that flash, until we go to a relative's place, and since they have heaps of little kids, it gets more fun, and then we go places

You know, it WOULD be cool to wake up on christmas and see snow EVERYWHERE, but then getting places would be a hassle.
I'll have to visit my uncle in Canada (which i'm planning to do) during Christmas, just to see what it's like

ummmm... and hopefully more

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
PAC-Man World 2 (make sure includes Pac-Man vs.which will be after Dec. 2nd)

Okay, well, I've never been into that type of humor, but you can pretty much guarantee I'll be laughing at something, maybe playing Nintendo.

Christmas list?  Apparently it's already been bought, but I have asked for (may just get money for):
GBP
Mario and Luigi
Metroid Fusion
Fire Emblem
May get Killer 7, depending

Nope, no MSN at TAFE ;__;
Only another.. Ugh, 2 hours to go. I'm just sitting here not learning. *Thumbs up*

I also really want THUG. I've never really had any interest in the previous installments, but THUG just looks too damn cool. No copies at Target yesterday, and I tried getting a catalogue from the front counter but it was surrounded by fools returning stuff. Bah, whatever. I'll see what happens tomorrow. I'm sorta thinking of getting Rayman 3 at K-Mart if I can't get THUG. $39 is good nutmeg!

the PCs in my uni all have net access (fast too!), AND msn, as some of the guys have seen. There's no need to get icq, cause you can just used ICQ2go. They also have AIM.

The crap thing about using the net in the computer labs at uni is that you have to enter your student number and password EVERYTIME you open a new browser. It may be for security and monitoring reasons, but it's just so darn annoying.

I can log in as my teacher in school. *is sneaky*  But I can't change the grades because there's another password for that. *sigh*

I can also log in as a few of my friends, and possibly my brother if his name is still in the database (he's moved on...........................to high skool).  It's actually pretty easy to figure out someone else's password because is always starts with the first letter of their last name.

Figuring out my teacher's was pure luck, though.

Akdaman: If that is true about your parents and Christmas, then that is sad.  I know not everyone can give their kids tons of stuff, but effort should be made.


Well, the one thing game related I wanted for Christmas was that really nice SP case by Mulberry that was posted about awhile back.  Since they have decided not to sell it, I called my sister who works in fashion to see if she could help me get one of the samples or something.  Of course, since she is a much more normal 30+ year old woman than I, her response was "Gameboy case? What the hell do you want that for?"  It was also said in a fairly snotty tone.

Well we are on the topic of Easter and Christmas. I want you all to know that the Easter Bunny is real. I saw him with my own eyes. I was outside the front of my house and he came and hopped past me and gave me all these crayons. It might sound silly but its true.

And my dads getting me a Gameboy advance ( I would get an SP but im only using it for 4 swords and chrystal chroicals ) and an Seimens S 55.

We are also coming down to Sydney, MerryLands.

My mums buying me pants cause all my other pants are ripped at the bottom and 10 sizes larger than me. But thats fashion. I told her not to get me n;ything but...

My sis is hetting a Mooks T-shirt.

And my bro is probaly gonna gimme hell.

I am buying all this stuff for my two terriosts ( my dogs ) and cousind.

They are both individual images, but goatse has an entire site attached to it with fan material and nonsense like that.

SUPER is a moderator so he has special-ness to him.  If you see anybody (as of now, and most likely forever) with anything under his (or her?) name other than "PGC forum user" it is either a moderator or that strange VIP person.  PIAC had one but......you know....

Does anyone mind telling me who that VIP was?  I think the user name was "DivXGirl" or something.  If she was so important, than why did she have an avatar that was too big, and why did she get so mad when I told her?

The source of all evil is trees.  Since trees make money.
I had another idea about the root of all evil, but I can't remember it.  I figure it's just people, though, that like blaming it on money and Satan and candy.  Damn them!
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Berny on December 02, 2003, 02:01:01 PM
Candy=source of all evil? That can't be. You'd have to show me the equation you used to derrive that. I refuse to believe that. As far as I'm concerned candy=source of all things good and holy on this earth+cavities. It has its downfalls but candy is still number one.
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Hostile Creation on December 02, 2003, 02:04:08 PM
Uh. . . let's see. . . people eat candy. . . which gives them cavities and makes them FAT, both of which making them whiney b*tches in most cases. . . and I hate whiners. . . and whiners are generally the cause of most wars, personal struggles, and other turmoil, so candy is the root of all evil.  Yeah.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Berny on December 02, 2003, 02:07:05 PM
Oh my. Well, that all depends on whether or not the people get fat. If they eat a bag of candy a month and the rest of the time eat lettuce, chances are they will die within one month. And then more people would whine about why poor Shannon was anorexic and you are right, Hostile. I'm sorry to admit it, but you are right.

I have noticed that my temper has become very short only when it comes to videogames.  It all started a few days ago when I got back into SSX Tricky.  Now, for not playing in many months, I did surprisingly (sp?) well, better than I had done before, in fact.  But every little thing sets me off.

I just got back from playing Mesablanca.  I finish the race second becasue the stupid computer resetted me to the middle of the course when I didn't need it, losing my tricky and boost.  I threw the controller half-way across the room and left in a huff.  IN A HUFF.

I fear playing videogames with my wavebird because I have thrown it more times in the past three days then in the whole other time I have owned it.  The other day I got frustrated with Metroid Fusion and I actually bit my GBA SP.  Yes, I bit it.

All I can say is:

Mood swings are fun! (but also dangerous...)

And I almost broke my Wavebird while playing Mario Kart...*takes deep breath*

F-Zero has gotten me frustrated (DAMN STORY MODE #3!!!!) but I've never lost control.  That's because it's hard, but it's fair.  I get mad at things that shouldn't have happened but the game decided to be mean to you.  I also flip out when people mess me up or distract me during games.

As for video game rage it's definitely not worth breaking or consuming consoles and controllers over. I just walk away... and get a sledgehammer

-Broken GC controller after coming in a close second in Diamond Cup Master Class in F-Zero GX (haven't played since) (age 17)

Bill, you are so destructive. You should not be allowed to play multiplayer for your own sake simply because the survivors might file charges against you. That would be bad. I get mad at Mario Kart sometimes and VJ VERY often but smashing stuff ain't my style. I cool down by playing Mario Kart on 50cc and dominating the computer players who's AI is set to 3. Either that or I listen to music.

Well since Nintedo has always made really strong controllers, I haven't broken any till now.  All my nes, snes, and 64 controllers still work.  But I have broken all my controllers now (3 regular, 1 wavebird) to some degree now. My wavebird just has a chip out of the bottom of the left handle.  The corded ones have either lost their rumble, or the screws have broken and you can peek inside them a little from the handle ends.

Oh ya, I have red hair too.

My controller situation is pretty bad.  Had three controllers, lost one (damn that messy room), and broke one (the c-stick is busticated).  All I have left is my lonely wavebird.

Luckily, I can still play multiplayer games that don't really required the c-stick.

I broke an N64 controller on MACE: The Dark Ages. Holy moly shaboly that was a very hard game. Even on Easy.
I made it up to the Viking guy and he killed me with three kicks. FAIR? NO. *Tosses controller at the wall, breaks*
Then I put the game in it's box and traded it towards Worms: Armageddon the next day. Take that MACE! *Shakes fist at Midway*

Me and my bro played that game a lot. Sure, it was a low profile fighter and even had Midway's name somewhere (blah) but the character and level design was awesome.

I got a new game today.  GBA game, Altered Beast.  And it didn't cost me a thing.  Why?, you may ask?  Because I found it laying in the parking lot at where I work.  The cartridge was a little rough, looks like the game was run over, but I popped it in my good old GBA SP and it still works, even has the save data from whom ever owned it, and lost it.  

I will give it back if someone comes around and asks for it.  Because I am nice like that.

My controllers all work fine. My brothers' controllers...ugh. THAT is a differnt story. They TimeSplit them to death. And for some reason the B button got most of the damage on one of them. It just sticks down. It works, but it doesn't feel right. Oh and they must been playing with my controller, 'cause now when I boot up the Cube, the control stick's neutral position is always SLIGHTLY to the right. I figured this out when trying to cast spells in ED. I thought it was an insanity effect and it scared me. I pressed the shortcut to cast a spell (prolly the heal spell ) and the runes just sparked and vanished. I was really mad. I considered taking the game back. But then I realized my bros were at fault. Now I only have one brother.

Oh yeah, I remember why I never break controllers.  When I get really, really mad, I bite myself.  Usually my finger or knuckle or something.  Or if I don't feel like biting myself I'll bite a pillow, vigorously shake it back and forth in my mouth, then release and let it fly across the room.  That's usually when I play F-Zero.

HC's got one buff jaw *drools over his jaw's sexiness*

I don't follow any of the rules for braces.  NOT ONE.  I'm actually chewing starburst as I type this.  Funny thing, I went to the orthodontist yesterday, and he says me wearing the rubber bands moved my teeth TOO much, yet I hadn't worn them in 2 weeks prior to that.  And before that I only wore them at night even I was supposed to have them on all day.  Dentists are stupid.

My hair is blond, though temporarily a sort of off green from having dyed it blue earlier in the year (Halloween).



Actually, most of the threads that have been said by me have actually been said by my older sis.  I've never said "hun" in my life.  It sounds gaaay. *shrugs* And I'm seriously telling the truth. The one's that bearly have anything, and the ones where it sounds like I need anger management, are my sister.  I changed my password though so it will never happen again.  (hopefully.)

And i'm downright telling the truth.

Edit: Oh yeah and by the way, Andrea is my sis's name.  I don't put my name out in the public so I had to change it to 'it'.

Oh, nothing wrong with saying hun.  I like it when people call me hun, makes me laugh.  Just never something I've heard a guy say.

A sister would explain it, but I'm starting to suspect twinkletoes here of transexuality.

Er anyway, for single player, hard as it may be, it was still extremely pattern-oriented. I'm no Michael Larson, but I cracked the code.


Mash the buttons in a random way while eating garlic bread? Because if that's the trick.... *Shakes fist at nothing*
But yeah, the levels were great. It was the first 3D fighter I'd seen where if you fall out of the arena you don't die straight off.. You kinda.. Burn in lava or get eaten away by acid. Plus there was that cool level that had the pond out back, and the blood would float around. TAKE THAT, NATURE.

It was also cool that in places with water, you would only lose life if your head was underwater.

The trick to success in that game was to find a move that comes out QUICK that chains into combo, and just turtle/counter everything a la Killer Instinct 1. My favorite was Executioner, starting combos with B+(quick attack button).

Xiao Long had an infinite combo, IF you could get at the opponent's back.

How about we all stop picking on each other in here?  Yep, that should work nicely. Maybe twinkletoes was telling the truth, maybe she wasn't, but its not our decision to decide whether it's the truth or not.

By the way, what are moderators?

Edit: I've broken many controllers before.  I throw them around, I pound them on the floor.  The first controller I had ever gotten is the only one that has stayed with me this long. (you no the one that comes with the cube) They must make those extra hard or something.

I have braces too, and I !!!!!!!!hate!!!!!!!!! them.  I can't even chew bubble gum for gods sake!!!!!! (I hope I put enough emphisis on hate.)

Please understand that at first I might not understand all the rules and stuff. I just learned about that editing thing because of twinkletoes getting yelled at for not using it, so I thank you, twinkletoes.

*being glared at by twinkletoes*

*YIKES!*

Sorry by the way, twinkletoes. But it's the truth.  If it wasn't for you, Grey Ninja would probably be yelling at me right now for spaming...(and that's giving me nightmares.)

If you want to see spam, click here. Oh yeah, and don't start any polls either. (Go to nintendo.com's forums to see polls. That's all they have. Someone here once said that all nintendo's forums are is something to the effect of:

DKLUVER: HEY! WHO HERE LOVES DONKEY KONG? I DO!

BUMP!

Bringing this thing back to some Nintendo related thing, I saw TWO Mario and Luigi - Superstar Saga ads today (during Video Hits *hangs head in shame*) but I haven't caught the start of them, just the game footage
Something about Mario and Luigi putting differences aside. Meh.

And they are still showing DD ads! *is shocked*

And Termin8 - Evanescence have made a video for "My Immortal" - best song on the album

Many Nintendo ads.  I'm all like, watching Nickelodean (sp??) when BIGGETY-BAM! some nintendo ad comes on.  I always catch the end when they say "only for nintendo gamecube" because I'm usually at my computer just listening to the tv, so I miss the whole commercial.  BUT IT WAS THERE.  GO NINTENDO.

SNOW!  Yes!  It's snow is all like, "look at me!  I am snow!  I make you cold!  FUN"

There's like, a couple inches!  COUPLE!  that could be almost THREE!  I like the snow because it makes everything all quite and peaceful.  I like to just go into the middle of the nearby field and just lay there.  I could go to sleep.  ^_^

Oh yeah, and today I was forced to throw out an ENITIRE SODA (which costs $1.25).  see, there's a retarded rule that there can't be any food/drink outside the cafeteria.  I usually sneak a soda out for later, but today someone stole my bottle cap so I couldn't cause it spill everywhere and get everything WET AND STICKY.  So I ask stu.  He says he doesn't know.  I believe him.  So I'm leaving with my soda and retard teacher says "THROW AWAY" so I make sad face and begin to cry.  She doesn't care.  I throw out soda.  Stu looks at me and shows me my bottle cap that he stole.  I want to kill him.

So then in band, I have gatorade, and retarded jeff takes it gives it to retarded ryan, who throws it in the FREAKIN TRASH.  I'm like "GO BRUSH YOUR TEATH WITH BUTT FLOSS" but they don't care.  I hate how jeff does that stuff, and thinks it's funny and it'll get him friends.  wtf?  he thinks he's my friend and he walks with me down halls and I'm like "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME."

And then on the bus ride home from a basketball game, we get stuck in snow for liek a half hour and the 45 minute drive ends up being 2 hours.  And had to pee.  I had to pee so bad it hurt.  seriously.  it sucked.  and on the bus ride everyone ignored me.

oh yeah, and I hate this kid who was my friend.  I don't want to speak with him but then he gets sad and I feel bad and then he's all friendly and ass-like again.  god.

sometimes I feel like my only friends are here!

oh yeah, I just found "Dave Barry's Only Vacation Guide You'll Ever Need"  That book is hilarious ++.

Nakedladion channel eh?
I know Melissa Joan Hart is hot, as some pics I have on me HDD are pretty saucy, although I haven't seen Larissa Oleynik do anything like that....
*searches Google and Alta Vista in hopes of being proven wrong*
Nope. None.
My sister saw the pics of Melissa, and she though that they were nude pics. They're THAT saucy, and if you been search the net, I think you know what i mean -  the ones on the bed, with only a bedsheet to cover the skin

And a My Immortal video eh? Better look out for it then. Better still, I think I'll download it
ANd what version of the song do you think is better? The original Album version or the rock version that seems to be playing on radio? I don't know if the rock version is the one they using on the video, so i can't say. I've only heard the rock version once. And not in it's entirity either.
The Going Under video is pretty freaky - only seen it once, but i remember Buffy-style vampire faces.

You're too paranoid, phatboy.  Loosen up. . . being annoying on a message board is about the same as being annoying in real life.  Just keep that in mind.  And read the technical rules as well, like avatar size and what threads not to start (political, religious, etc.).

Termin8: The album version (without the guitars and drum at the end) isn't the one used for the video clip. So it must be the radio version.
And its not as freaky as the Going Under clip. Its just a very artsy kinda hippie one. But I LOVE that song!

Okay Aussies, I just saw the stupidest commercial ever to use an Australian or at least an actor pretending to be Australian.  

American housewife is in kitchen when a freaking kangaroo hops across the kitchen floor.  Now, mind you, she's not upset that a kangaroo is in her house.  She is upset that it left muddy paw prints on her nice kitchen floor.

She has nothing to fear.  A big burly guy with a Floormate wet vac thing strapped to his back enters and says "I'll get that floor, mate" in his Australian accent and proceeds to clean up the dirty paw prints.

I was laughing so hard at this commercial.  It was so stupid.  You guys should start a revolt against Hoover for this.  Don't let the American advertisers mock you this way!
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: RABicle on December 08, 2003, 12:09:20 AM
The wrost part is that Australian accents dont sound anything like that. And was the kangaroo 7 foot tall? Probably not.

Anyway, I hear you want to use MSN for Mac, Ms. Well if your running Mac OS X use this. http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14983

I've seen that so many times, that guy used to play on JAG, (Mick I think, love interst to Catherin Bell, who still plays Mac, who also was the nude body double for Isabella Rosalinne sp? in Death Becomes Her a funny movie.), on CBS.  But he doesn't anymore because he died a few months ago, I think suicide.

"Hey, I saw a kid with snot hangin' out his nose yesterday"
'OH YES? LAUGH OUT LOUD'
"What?"
'ASL?'
"Huh?"

Why does it remind you of Zelda?-It doesn't remind me of Zelda, so why does it remind you of Zelda when it doesn't remind me of Zelda, because if it reminds you of Zelda, then it should remind me of Zelda because I'm just as special as you and so it should remind me of Zelda, SO DOES THAT MAKE YOU MORE SPECIAL OF ME?! *eye twitches.* *gasps for breath* WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *starts crying, obviously*

December 05, 2003 - According to a Reuters report today, Sega of America has filed a lawsuit against Fox Entertainment, Electronic Arts, and developer Radical Games Ltd., claiming that The Simpsons Road Rage infringes on a Sega patent.
The lawsuit centers on Road Rage's apparent similarity to Sega's Crazy Taxi, which features picking up fares and performing zany, over-the-top driving stunts to get them to their destinations as quickly as possible. Road Rage features similar game play, to the point where some reviews commented negatively on the parallels.

Sega's "138 patent" is associated with the Crazy Taxi concept. SEGA is requesting that The Simpsons Road Rage sales cease and that copies be removed from store shelves. SEGA is also asking for damages related to apparent lost profits.


Hahahahhaha.

My gamestop has a pretty good collection of SNES games.  I DON'T HAVE SNES?!  *adds to christmas list*

I go to gamestop looking for FF chronicles and anthology to show mum.  They don't have it.  I see a couple of cool dudes around 9 feet tall looking at GC games.  I shot them a UR KEWL look.  They shot me a HELLO LITTLE FOOT,  DON'T GET STUCK ON THE BOTTOM OF MY SHOE look.  

So I look through SNES games and they got Star Fox (hurrah!), Super Mario World, Super Star Wars (don't really know how good that one really is).  But the one that took me by surprise......Final Fight! =0  Never seen that one anywhere.  I would've bought it if it wasn't for the lack of system.  Ah well, there are many other games there for SNES, I just didn't have time to look at them.

The End.

My advice, Knows. If you see a cool second hand game somewhere, yet don't have the system, and it's cheap. Get it.
Years back I used to see plenty of awesome Sega Saturn games in Toy's R Us for around the $5 mark. Stuff like Burning Rangers, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Shining the Holy Ark. COOL STUFF! But I decided to save my money and waste it all on a boring N64 (it was the thing to do ). Then I came across a Saturn last year, and I've never been able to find those three games anywhere. A sad time indeed. Then I saw a dog, what a day!

Wow, so i get the Kmart catalogue right, open it up, and BAM. Nintendo GameCube = $119. I encourage everyone to encourage people you know to GET ONE (or a few) next week while the sale is on. $119 for a Nintendo GameCube is the best value for nutmeg ive ever seen.

And i asked mum to go to EB and get me Tony Hawks Underground, and she comes back and says that EB didnt have the GameCube version. And if i cant get it from trusty EB, then where am i supposed to get it? :\

My sunburnt skin hurts, especially my back. But it's worth it.

Oh, and there's this rad shop just outside my school, where like, if you beat some guy at Tekken 4, you get a free drink and/or Krispy Kreme donut

Edit: Oh crap there's rumours that Kmart are dropping the GameCube, and this sale is just to clear all leftover GC stock. I wouldnt be surprised if most GCs have been sitting there since launch. Oh well.

Oh it does? Why does it rock? And no i havent played it.

And yeah akdaman, it's entirely Nintendo Australia's fault. They are doing nothing to support the GameCube or even the GBA here, GBA is barely outselling the GameCube, hell, the GBA is 4th here. PSX outsells both GameCube and GBA each month here. I think they should fire everyone and hire me... ok maybe not, but they definately need to unplug whatever is stuck in the way of them actually grasping at least the smallest portion of common sense they can find. I just dont understand.

But lets not let this turn into yet another boring Nintendo Australia sucks discussion.

Infernal:  I guess that's good advice.  If worst comes to worst and I never geta SNES, I'll slither over to ebay.

Of course, I don't think many people around here buy SNES games.  I'll just wait or something.  The SNES and NES bins are copletely full, and it takes a while to find anything worth while if you're just browsing.  For all I know Super Metroid, Chronotrigger and all the SNES final fantasy's could've been in there and I'd never know.  *wants to go back to gamestop*

Shabadoo
I'm liking this, except that the seller doesn't list the shipping cost forcing me to email.  EMAIL?!  I don't like email. :\  Is this a good deal?  I'm pretty new to this whole ebay thing, but I do know that the price will go waaaay up.  It's 27 bux with 6 hours left.  Everyone seems to bid at the last minute.

Anyway, since all y'all are living down under the auction will prolly be almost done by the time you see it.  Oh well.  I just felt like posting it.

Hmm, I'm seriously considering picking up another GameCube next Thursday. Spare unit, you see. But then again, maybe not. Yet, it's pretty sad that it's come to this. GameCube selling for $19 more than a game.

Oh, Mario. Got a stinky Games Wizards near you? Nobody buys GC games there (since they refuse to let people know they stock it). Parramatta's store is full of THUG on GameCube. At least seven copies just sitting there (The GameCube section is way up the back, BEHIND one of the Xbox display units, near the second hand N64 games.) There's no way you'd be able to reach around and get a game, you can just kind of see them sitting there. Great way to make money, guys.
Plus I saw Target had two copies in yesterday, as well as three copies of True Crime. Looks like Activision 'found' those spare copies.

... Knows, can I come over? Then could you show me where the GameStop is? And like, I'll go crazy in the NES/SNES bins and barrel roll home? Please?

"SIR, GET OUT OF THERE!"
'Outta where?'
"THERE!"

lol, they're not so big that you could swim around in them. ^_^  But they're bigger then any other store.  Actually, the only other place I've seen SNES games were like 2 or 3 at blockbuster, and gamestops opens up and I see like 200 SNES games and I make a shocked face

Next time I go to Gamestop I'll count.

My friend just called and there is a High Chance of it coming out here.  And that link you gave was to an Xbox site ? Why ? Its exclusive to Gamecube.

It's already out, came out in the Summer of 1973. Just for you Cheers, because your post was so epic.
Yes we'll get the game. No, it's not out yet. Australia most likely won't get it till Q1 2005, too. It's a Namco RPG. Namco hate us. (We still haven't got the original Klonoa on GBA).

You might as well stick it out (what?) with school. It's pretty much impossible to not get a HSC at the end. Heh, my Software Development teacher called me an 'immature slacker' on my year eleven report. I found it hilarious. Too bad my parents don't share my humour. He mentioned me playing computer games on my half yearly year twelves report card thingy (Because a bunch of use set up Quake III in the room and played on the LAN instead of learning the important aspects of vB).

For whatever it is worth Mario, I do not think you are an idiot.  I think you are being too hard on yourself.  Don't drop out, at least not right now.  Give school a little more time.  I don't know what you school is like or your studies, so I don't know much, but at least don't give it up so easily.  Again, you're not an idiot.

Mario, your mom yelled at you because she cares for you...She wants you to succeed, get a good job, and have a happy life...If she didn't care for you, she wouldn't even care what you got in school...

From your posts here at PGC, I can tell, just as nitsu said, that you aren't an idiot.  I think this has more to do with the amount of time you spend on schoolwork...Work hard, it's worth it...Trust me...Study get!

Just so you know, www.gamestop.com has a store locator thingy that will tell you if a game is at a certain gamestop near you. So then the only problem (aside from getting an SNES) will be to get Infernal to stop swimming through the games long enough for you to look for whatever game you want.

Well, I spend almost zero time on HW and I haven't studied once this year and what do I get?  an A in every subject.

Mario, you shouldn't drop out of school.  Then you'd be a quitter and quitters suck.  I learned that on TV.  If you're such an idiot how did you get the "best poster" award in the PGC awards?  Because you have a mix of SMART and FUNNY which eqauls SMANNY.  You are very smanny indeed, Mario. *nods head*

Heh, thanks guys. I guess i should start trying, and maybe change my apparent "relaxed", "effortless" approach to school

Damn school work, whenever i try to do it, i spend like 20 minutes looking at it, then just run off and play a game or go out or something. Well i'll try and do better now, since it's my last year in school. Year 12 here i come!

And i certainly ain't no quitter! I quit quitting a long time ago!

Good luck, Mario!  Remember, more education means better job, which means more money, which means more. . . NINTENDO!  (And sex.)  Woo hoo!

Is sex really all you think about, Hostile Creation? It certainly seems that way since you usually bring it up once or twice in a thread.

Mario, you can't be an idiot.  For if you were, you would have stayed back in kindergarten. Because only idiots do not know how to take a nap during nap time. I wish I still had nap time...*sigh* Sleeping on sleeping bags, ahh, what a life.

Crap, does anyone here go to a public, or catholic school? Or used to? I go to a public high school, but used to go to a Catholic School before high school, and DA*N was it hard! I had to study 3 hours for a test in 6th grade. 6TH GRADE! Yes, little 11 and 12 year olds. Our computer teacher made us learn to type correctly in 1st grade. DANG! Was it hard.  High school is like a breeze for me now.

Also , I go to a cathiloc school. My record aint too flash .

11 detentions
50 lunch times ( maybe more. )
1 suspension
4 meeting with the co-ordinator

But I am a smart kid , its just that I end up doing 1 stupid thing at the start of the year , then the teachers start to keep an close eye on me , the pressure gets to much and I stuff aroud for the rest of the year.

I almost failed 6th grade because I was always getting into trouble.  Like threatening to kick a teachers ass (my art teacher) because I got a C on a project that was deserving on a A.  She didn't like me, and probably didn't like me after that.  And just her luck, she got me in 8th grade again.

Your school must have sucked. I go to a Catholic school and im in 8th grade. I havent studied once this year. We have a computer class thingy, and we do some typing stuff  for like five minutes then we play games. Maybe that's why i suck at typing.

I do stupid crap all the time, but I never get caught, or they just accept the fact that I'm going to do it and get over it.  Par example, I dyed my hair blue for Halloween.  It's still not completely out, and it was very obviously blue for the first two or three weeks.  This should have gotten me at least suspended, but as it is I only got stopped on the hallway once (and on the second day back!).  I've done worse, but that's a fair example of getting away with it.

I'm good

And only 6 hours a day??  Thats it?  I normally have chats that last at least that long most days.  Count me in at about 5-6 hours on nights where I have worked and work the next day, and at least 10 hours if not more on the rest of the days.  Yes I love the internet and my custom pc .

Post by: Termin8Anakin on December 13, 2003, 01:24:13 PM
Come on mario. a really crappy report shouldn't deter you from school.

My parent's don't yell, they just sit there and stare at you and ask you if you been doing anything illegal, which is a weird question because in all of school they've never let me out.
Going to a catholic private school is quite a bad combination, but you have to try.
I sure as hell ain't the best of academics, but I try. And as long as I try, my parents have to understand and accept that that is the best I can do.
They've had a hard time doing that, so they've turned to my sister to be the smart one in the family. She's in year 12 now, and does 4 Unit maths and all that stuff, and she's actually coming in the top 5 in pratically all her subjects. My parents have all but forgotten about me and my 'failures'. I'm in University now, and thats all i care about. I made it.

Year 12 is THE hardest year in all of schooling, because it's not just the school part, it's the psychological part of it. You DO stress out from the work, and your family gets the brunt of it. I didn't act like I stressed out, but i kept it all inside. I never let it out, which is probably why you aussies saw me in a pissed state of late, cause i let it out then.
You also deal with people choosing suicide as a way out. Every year has those who can't hack it. I knew a guy who killed himself last year. One guy that my sister used to know in her grade in primary school killed himself recently too. You start thinking if suicide is the easy way out. Even I thought about it, cause it just felt like a good idea at times when i was pissed. But there are worse. My friend's dad died DURING the HSC, so there was more pressure and emotion on him then ever before. But he pulled through. I pulled through. All my friends pulled through.
Just remember that at the end of it all, there is a 4 month holiday before you start uni/tafe/whatever, and it is better than any holiday you will ever have, because of the amount of pain you went through to get there.
Keep up the work. Try to actually do well. Just cause you've only got your sights on tafe or something doesn't mean you can slack off more.

The sh*t thing about the holidays after finishing school is finding out your UAI and finding out if you got any offers for uni. Me and my cousin got our UAIs basically a year ago this week. I got 72.45, my cuz got 62. Sure it was crappy for both of us (especially her), but we persevered. In January, our families went to sail the Whitsundays (on the Great Barrier Reef) on our own luxuary catamaran for a week. During the week, we realised that our uni offers had been sent out, so we sailed to Hamilton Island (took a whole day to get there), and hoped to the internet cafe, and checked our offers. My cousin was seasick to go, so she sent her sister and my sister to go for her. I went on and discovered an offer for the course I do now. My cousin, however, got no offers. She got the news, and started crying. Possibly the even sh*ttier thing is that her friend called on her mobile and told her before we could. Accepting my offer is a whole other story, but a great one, since i was 10000 kms away.
So I am at Uni, and she repeated year 12, and is now awaiting her UAI for a second time.

Don't drop school. There may be alternatives to getting into uni/tafe, but if you wanted to drop, you should have at the end of year 10. Now is the point of no return. You've worked too hard and gotten too far to quit now. It's an emotional time. VERY emotional.

And even though this rant may be pointless since you've already said you ain't gonna quit, I'm posting it anyway.

Really inspiring story Termin8 , I am sure Mario is looking forwayd to yr 12 after hearing about all those suicides.

My sis is in Yr 12 , she is getting her results 2morrow , she is hoping for High 90s ( she is very smart ), Anyway she did not commit suicide.  She is hoping to be a lawyer , my little brother is also smart , nothing but E's ( which is the highest mark for my brothers Primary school ) . I am the black sheep of the family

suicide.... I wouldn't go THAT far. Im a happy person, i would never even think about that. S'all good. I think that if i just do all the work that i get, i'll be right.

And seriously, we did like, this years HSC recently, and it didn't look that hard... all you gotta do is study and you can get a passing mark easily. No stress, ive got like a year to study.

I asked if they had any copies, they said "It was discontinued on GameCube", so i say "So do you have any copies?", then the guy says "It was discontinued on GameCube", so i said "oh". I couldn't see any in the pathetic GC section there anyway, so i left with my walking feet, and walked right out of there! I really regret not getting that one copy i saw it Kmart a few weeks ago, i hope its still there :S

That's how it is for me too, Knows Nothing.  Quite simple, actually.

And actually, I lied about my age.  I'm actually 12, and in junior high. But, some people came from the high school and let us try some of the high school material (the easy stuff for freshman) And I passed with flying colors. I am actually quite smart for my age.  I never had to study from kindergarten-6th, now it's getting harder though.  The junior high teachers are obsessed with getting you ready for hsc.  So their chucking everything they can at me. I actually have to study now, and I got a "b" in one subject this year.  But a lot of other 7th graders are failing.  They can't participate in sports or anything.  I tell you, being at a Catholic School, sucks.  It's hard, really hard.  My friend who goes to a public 7th grade, is doing multiplication in math. That's it.  I'm doing algebra. Ahh, the easy way out.

Year 12 for me was a blast for the first six months. Parties, slacking off classes, and ruling the school! I highly recommend it for anyone. On our last day of school (we had a few weeks of study break before end of year exams) we hijacked the assembly, chanted "Nana-na-na, Nana-na-na, Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye", and started a huge congo line before leaving!

As for the academic side, you definitely need to keep it up for most of the year if you are going to get anywhere. The stress is definitely there, but you've got to keep in mind that there is a four month break after so you may as well give it your all. No regrets. That was my motto for Year 12, and I offer it to you all.

For that, I salute you

The EB games over here has a deal whereas all games bought now can be traded in for a full refund in cash within a week. However, due to the Christmas holidays, the period has been extended to January 11th. It's a good deal, and I presume it's available in Aussie as well.

Mmmm, new Cube. I was going to take advantage of that K-Mart sale and get an Indigo Cube (Then have a ROBOT WAR!), but me thinks I'll just go pick up some gaming goodness at Clint's instead. Mmmm, $19.95 goodness.

Yeppo, EB have that deal over here, except I think the special Christmas deal thing lasts till the end of January. They give people way too much time. You just know a whole heap of people are going to abuse it. Buy a game, treat it like crap and return it on the last day. Then EB will sell those copies as new (I purchased Kingdom Hearts early this year and got some returned copy. Disc was scratched up, manual was dog eared. Bleh.) Going back a second time to get told it was a new copy and having a bitch wasn't fun.. Well, maybe it sorta was.

What would be the point of having two gamecubes?
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: KnowsNothing on December 14, 2003, 09:02:27 AM
It's represented with a simple math equation.  G = gamecube.  H= happiness.  X=quantity

XG is directly proportional to XH.  That means that the more Gamecubes you have, the happier you are.  Happiness makes you laugh.  Laughter is the best medicine.  Being healthy means, as long as no freak accidents are involved, your life span will increase.  So in reality, the more gamecubes you own, the longer you will live.

Well now that i have two, i can go into the other room that has a tv, and there's a GameCube there! No unplugging and plugging stuff in for me, there's already a GameCube in both rooms! And it was a BARGAIN, $119, Resident Evil Zero retails for $110, so that's like the price of a game, for you Americans who dont know aussie dollars. Plus now i have all the colours of GameCube available in Australia, gotta collect em all!

And it's two! *nods head*

Two cubes does rock.  I have one at me grandparents house and one in my room. I go over to my grandparents house and look! Its another cube. Ahh, all mine. GO AWAY. *hides gamecube under carpet* All I have to do is bring the games, which isn't even as close as being annoying by having to unplug all the stuff, then plug it all back in. I THOUGHT I SAID GO AWAY! *sits ontop of carpet which is concealing the gamecube*

Lectures suck.  I always get them. I'm actually very smart, but I get them about my grades every day.  I have all "A"s, yet they keep telling me that my grades cannot go down. I got an "A-" once on a test, and I was grounded from the internet for a week because they said I was on it to much and that my grades are slipping. I'm grounded for a month if I get a "b+" so I'm constantly under pressure. So with basketball, football, hockey, and school, I am constantly busy.

Holy crap, grounded for the WHAT NOW?!  You may be the only one here with parents stricter than mine.

Do YOU mind if you get an A-?  I despise people that get upset things like that.  An A- is still "exemplary" as the report card states it.  Your parents must suck.
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: silverdonut on December 14, 2003, 01:29:25 PM
No, I think that an "A-" is a !GrEaT! grade. My parents suck I know. I have a friend who thinks "A-" are horrible. I just tell her to shut the f*@k up. When I got the "A-", she was like, "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry.  I feel so bad for you!" And I just told her to get the he#l away from me. I can't put up with people like that.

If it wasn't for Super Mario Brothers, I would of never found out about bricks containing coins.

I never knew they were even interested in Nintendo, let alone games in general. Then then some of em went down and bought a GC, insane.

Piac has had it for quite some time, so unless you can pry it from his tightly fripped hands, your only hope is to look in ebay.com.au, some other aussie auction/retail stores to see if they stock it, or import it from Europe.
As far as I'm concerned, Piac has the only copy in Australia

As far as I know the game is scheduled to come out in the US on January 4, 2004.  At least this is the date that has been hanging around for a while now.


I neve got money for good grades, but when I was younger, like when before I turned 9, I would be allowed to make brownies if I did good in school.  I love brownies, yummy.  Which reminds me, my Mom made a whole lot of fudge last night, very good tasty delicious fudge.  Too bad none of ya'll can have any, as you all don't live close enough and it will all be gone shortly anyways.

Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Ms.Pikmin on December 17, 2003, 05:09:23 AM
In our area the school district has redone the grading system so it's not possible to get A's, B's...etc.  They grade the kids on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the highest.  The thing about it that's really stupid is that the grade is based on how much they know of the entire year's curriculum.  So basically they say, by the end of 3rd grade the kids should know this much.  Then they are graded by how close they are to that goal.  So, it's impossible to have a high grade when the first report cards come home.  

Since I can't really monitor his grades since they don't have any, I monitor my son on a weekly basis.  The teacher sends home a weekly progress note that lets parents know if they behaved well, did all their in class work, etc.  He gets no monetary rewards, just praise.  And his video games activity is dependant upon keeping up in class.  Recently, he seriously procrastinated on a report he was to be working on.  I took games away for about a week until he caught up.

Really? My school is way weird.

93-100 A
86-92 B
85-78 C
77-71 D
70+below F

So we've got it weird to. I don't think many Aussie schools have it that way. My friends that go to other schools in Australia don't. So hmm, don't know.

I get paid for grades this way:

A=$10
B=$8
C=$6
D=$0
F= they take away money -$

So if I get all A's I get 70 bucks. And that's only from my parents.

My grandparents:
A=$10
B=$7
C=$4
D=$0
F=$0 (they don't deduct from me )

And from my fav. aunt and uncle:
A=$20
B=$10
C=$0
D=$0
F=$0

And the rest of my family gives me only about $5 for everything put together.

And that's only for a trimester, which means all that 3 times a year. MONEY MONEY!!!

And I usually get all "A's" most of the time. Once in a while I get a "b" or "b+or-" I've never gotten a C in a subject my entire life.

Videogames are my life, so I have to keep my grades up in order to be able to play them.

I had to walk my dog at like lunchtime yesterday cause my mum gave him a bath and walking him would dry him off. It was a sunny, cloudless day, around 27 degrees - Mario would know. I come home, i'm so tired. Then we had to go out looking for furniture. Just being in the car with the sun on my legs made me even more tired. And I just collapsed on the bed, and i've been in bed ever since. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday either.

Here's one of the reason's why I leaving this college (university for some of you out there).  Any final grade of C- is considered not passing.  Depending on the teacher where that lies can vary, but generally that is about 70-73%.  All my life I have grown and gone to school where anything 70% and up was considered a passing grade, then they throw this crap at me.

All through intermediate school (7,8 grade) and high school (9-12) it was the simple breakdown of:

100-90 = A
80-89  = B
70-79  = C
60-69  = D
59 and below = F

The grades for me are just like Berto's, except 59 - 1 would be an E, 0 (zero) meant you got no grade at all and for some reason that was worse.  Like in Spanish 2, we had to do an oral presentation in front of the class and it was worth two grades.  I refused to do it because of my severe fear of speaking in front of people.  I was told that if I got up in front of the class and just attempted I would have gotten a grade, but since I wouldn't I got two 0's (zero's) which was worse.  I still passed the class with almost perfect scores.  I got a perfect score on my end of year final too.

All through intermediate school (7,8 grade) and high school (9-12) it was the simple breakdown of:

100-90 = A
80-89  = B
70-79  = C
60-69  = D
59 and below = F



Crap if it was like that for me, life would be so easy.

So it seems that alot of schools grade harder than over here. *hugs public school*

So when I brag about my strait A's, I'm really all like "Lookit!  I got all C's on my report card!  I DO GOODLY!"

I DO GOODLY might be a good place to start improving your education.  You should never, ever, under any circumstances, use all caps.

KN might also want to work on his English and spelling.

Go look up goodly in the dictionary.

And "I DO GOODLY" is a subordinate clause, if I'm not mistaken.

WOAH!  Awesome grades!  How in da hell wood you do that?  (btw, I am naming my kid "Blaskis".  Awesome last name.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!  I can't get anything to upload!  I guess topcities and 250free.com are both CRAP.  THEY SUCK.  Remeber that.  SUCK.  

So I got these .wav's I want to upload, but they're too big.  Is there I way I can convert them or somehting to make them smaller?  And I also have a movie I want to upload, but it's also too big.  It's saved as a .dat file (I can only open it through WMP).  Any way I can make this smaller?

Well, to all you guys who have to live in constant 30+ degree heat, then sucks to you
It's been this hot many times before, but I've never gotten sick from it, and thats what sucks.
Just being here on the computer when the air con is in my parent's bedroom is making me melt.

Well what if i don't have to

I seriously can't imagine wearing my old school uniform in anything above 27 degrees. We had to wear long pants, shirt, tie, and a fricken BLAZER. Besides, if the temp went up to like 35 degrees, we'd be sent home.

CDex
Awesome program. You can convert WAV's to MP3 format in basically any bitrate you want.
I have no idea about the movie thing, though. ;__;

Hahaha, yeah, we also got sent home when it reached around the 35 degree mark.
Our school was a SHITHOUSE, too. No air con, and the fans NEVER WORKED. Hurray for long pants and black shiny heat absorbing shoes! ;__;

KnowsNothing: Definitely get CDex. Its the only CD-ripping utility I'd reccomend, because you can configure EVERYTHING!!
*shudders at WMP utility*

Any questions about it, just PM me or I may be on MSN. As for the video, I have no clue as to how to change it from a DAT file (which is raw data actually) to something more useful. I'm working my way around my tv tuner card at the moment, trying to compress these super-size MPEG2 files to something more respectable. I know that doesn't really help.

But most of my time is being spent at work. I officially have two days off between now and New Year's Day (Christmas Day and Boxing Day, which is the day after Christmas) so that's why I haven't been here much. Working in a warehouse-like room when it is 37 degrees is crap, let me tell you that! Stop whinging about 27 degrees Termin8!

Bill: That's an awesome report card. Hopefully I can do that well when I decide to pull my finger out next year. I ended up getting a TER (University entry grade) of 96.15 for my Year 12 results, so I can do it when I can be bothered. Its just I was having too much fun this year!

Have a merry Christmas guys, I might not be around until after then.
Peace out.

I sometimes dream of winning the lottery, but I don't ever expect it.  For one thing, I would have to actually get a lottery ticket and I don't get lottery tickets, because I am lazy.  I'd get online more often but I work from 8 am to 4:30 pm Monday ~ Thursday and 8 am to 4 pm on Friday, and soemtimes when I get home I am too tired to chat.  I may get on tonight if I can.  Friday, finally, then next week and the week after are three day work weeks.  Holiday's are nice, but three days to do a weeks worth of work is going to be chaos.

Your dad will hate it. I can see it now. He will open up the box and instead of thinking, "Oh yes! Now I can finally cut my nails after 10 years of hoping that they'd stop growing at some point! " he will think, "Oh good. Now I can finally get rid of that rotten kid with these weapons that he conveniently handed over to me. Hm...throat, wrist, or a good heart stabbing...which would be most painful..."

For any Aussies who care about any of these games, some release dates for next year!

Gotcha Force - 27th February
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes - 27th February
Tak And The Power Of Ju Ju - 12th March (will retail for $70)
R Racing Victory - 22nd March
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles - 30th March
Mario Golf - 30th March
Harvest Moon - 30th March
Kirby Air Ride - 30th March
Pokemon Channel - 30th March

Oh yeah, and Sonic Heroes 6th February.

No sign of 1080 in any release lists... :\

Yay, MGS:TTS and Harvest Moon go onto the "Hurry Up and Get out Here or Someone's Gonna Die" List.

And a SUPERBUPBOW-5000 goes to the absence of 1080. Why, Nintendo? Why?
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn

Maybe Ninty Ozztralier are waiting for Winter. Wow, instead of 40 degrees, it's 35! Sounds like a plan!
And what's this? R Racing has been out in the US for about two weeks or something, and we get it in March. Yet Kirby's Air Ride and Mario Golf are old enough to be classics, and they'll release AFTER R?

Once again, I must ask.... Why does Nintendo hate its PAL living customers so much? OH, I'M SORRY I LIKE YOUR GAMES, NINTENDO. I REALLY AM. >_>

I think I used to fear my Dad's '1337' Space Invader skills or something.

Man, you should see those Chicken Rotisseries (A chicken cooker, roaster thingy ) run out the door at Big W. I went to the one in Chullora to get one for mum, there is one left but it's all mangled and wrecked. I think people were fighting over it.
So I head off all the way to the Big W in Campsie, and thank god, there are stacks of them there. I leave one in a secret place and head to the games to play Mario Kart and diss Xbox.
I come back.
All Gone.
Even the secretly stashed one. In 10 minutes, all gone.
Me and my sis look around, and in the next aisle where the vacuum cleaners (!) are, we find two. YAY! We check inside that it's not wrecked, but the manual is missing. We reach for the second one, but a guy just runs in and grabs it and kisses it and runs off.
oooookaaaaay
Oh well, we have one at least

Snowboarding is good
Bust some 1080 moves (or SSX if thats what you like ), and you'll realise that even a simple tripping over a small twig is enough to make bone see the light of day.
I would like to be able to spin 100000 degree circles and do 20000 metre high jumps without squashing my legs
The first thing I have to be able to do is jump that 2cm high lump in the snow, and be able to actually grab the board without breaking my back

The lady thing at the sound & vision bit rang up the manager for me (customer service is good ) and it seems it's just not on. The 20% thing is true, and will include GameCube and Game Boy Advance. Bah.

They also put an interesting spin on it, saying that's equivalent to a 30,000 feet tall mountain of SP boxes, and that sales were "Sky High", oh ho ho.

You know Group X's Bang Bang Bang song?
They're using it as part of the ads for Nova 96.9's 'never more than two ads in a row' thingy! Or is it The Edge 96.1? One of them.

Apparently Nova is coming to Adelaide. *spits on other radio stations*
I remember being over in Melbourne a couple of years ago, and listening to Nova non-stop. And Dave Hughes is hilarious too!

And a Merry New Bear to you all!
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Termin8Anakin on December 25, 2003, 11:57:22 PM
Hmmmm, perhaps the reason why Nova is popular is cause they not only play current songs, but also cause they have great comedians doing shows for them.
So, Melbourne must have Dave Hughs, and Sydney have the ever funny Merrick and Rosso (who for some reason are also in the game XIII). They also have a TV show!

Did anyone watch World Idol tonight?
I don't usually watch these sorta reality shows, but I just wanted to watch it.
Guy Sebastian was the only one who didn't get negative comments (ones about looks don't count - many got that). Kelly Clarkson IS good, but even she got one bad comment about her trying to be too much like a diva or something like Aretha Franklin. The NOrweigien guy was excellent with a great version of U2's Beautiful Day.
I think it's gonna be between Australia, America and Norway.

The German guy just sucked ass

When i was at work experience a few months ago i worked on the same street as the Nova building. I saw Merrick and Rosso a few times, walking in and out of the Nova building, and once in the cafe.

Christmas was awesome, lots of awesome stuff was get me by presents liek good happy fun hurray.

Hey dudes, I'm back. I made myself very very sick on Christmas day. 'Twas not fun. Five hours in a pool drinking girly Vodka Cruisers without sunscreen in 40 degree weather resulted in me dying.

Erm, Grace Bros. in the city was poo. I went there at 7AM on Boxing Day expecting some killer 50% GC games... And what do I see? , 2 rows of 18 Wheeler and Hulk! OMG *sperm*
But er, yeah. Went to the one in Parra this morning and got XIII, Burnout (I don't know why), Turok (It was $10 ;__; ) and Vexx (It was also $10 ;__; ). They all suck.

Oh yeah;

EB
- WWE Crush Hour $37
- Reign of Fire $44
- Red Faction II $44
- PN03 $49
- Evolution Worlds $74
- UFC $52
- Sum of all Fears $59

BOOOOOM.  I am now posting this very.....post from the wireless internet conecction in MY ROOM using mozilla Firebird as my browser.  Awesome.

And I don't care what anybody says, Firebird is awesome.  I instantly noticed the increase in speed, the pop-up blocker is great, and it automatically iported my IE favorites.  Firebird is my frined.

Yay for KN!
Firebird kicks arse, even on my pants dial up connection. I just wish I could get the Java plug-in to work. =/

INFERNAL SEZ: XIII is the crappiest thing I've purchased all year. And Vexx is one of the most underrated platform games ever. It took like half an hour before it started showing actual decent gameplay and BAM. It's hard to believe it came from the same team that made Turok Evolution. >_>
I also require some breakfast. True story!

Well, like my usual self, i have TOTALLY NOT TRIED TO BUY ANY GAMES WHEN THEY'RE ON SALE!!!!!
=/
Rebel Strike for 50 bucks was awesome, and it's such an awesome game that I will never be able to play! PROBABLY!

For some reason, I went clubbing all night. T'was fun, but i have had no more than 1 hours sleep cause i been helpin dad plan teh Tasmania trip, fix tha car and make our timber cabinet all days, so now, I must drop dead at the monitor before my brain explode of no rest from thumpin techno, RnB and a live band, girls with like 99% of their skin bared for all to see, and an increasing level of headache from alcohol and pot.

Peace out ma brovaz.

Infernal: I got a bargain at EB: Activision Anthology for $21. So I took it before some punk kid asks me "What's an Atari?"Hooray for 25% off a 29.95 game! *hugs air*

*applauds Termin8 for being a party beast*

Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Mario on December 28, 2003, 12:28:28 AM
No likey XIII Infernal? :\

Well i really, really like Super Mario Advance 4, Mario and Luigi, Mario Party 5 and Tony Hawk Underground. All of them!

I like SMA4 the least though, a few things in it really annoy me. Mario and Luigi is BRILLIANT, already one of my favourite games of all time, play it or i hate you. Mario Party 5 is much better than Mario Party 4, it's really awesome, has surprisingly funky awesome really good music, really fun mini games and like... everything rocks about it! Mario Party 5 > all other Mario Party games combined. Tony Hawks Underground surprised me with how good it is, even though i expected it to be good, at first it seemed... a bit PS2 ish, and i was a bit pissed because you start off with one level (and the crappiest one), but after all that its awesome, so much variety in everything, you can practically do anything, and if there arent enough tricks for you, you can make your own! =O The levels are really cool too, especially the later ones.

Oh and i got NFSU for PS2, which is apparently a bad combination. It almost literally made my PS2 explode. The first time i played it the screen started stuttering, then a loud sound started coming out of the actual PS2, then the sound in the game went all spastic, then a tiny bit of smoke came out of my PS2 and it turned off O_o. Luckily the PS2 still works, but im a bit scared of putting NFSU back in it...

Sonic Advance is sold out or not available anywhere, and i want it :\. I also want SSX3! When does that Grace Bros/Myer sale end? (or has it already ended? )
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Shift Key on December 28, 2003, 01:05:57 AM
*is playing M&L, and loving it also*

As for THUG, I'll pass. I have too many games to play at the moment (Manhunt, Activision Anthology, M&L, and ED is on my to-do list) and not enough time to do it all in. Stupid work and life.

And 80s music is tha bomb! I was listening to "Take on Me" while playing Pitfall and I swore that I went back in time to the 80s.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Ocarina Blue on December 28, 2003, 01:07:44 AM
Mario Party 5!? I played that with three other people, and twice in a row did one person get every star on the map. He also got by far the largest number of coins as well. Even though I was even with him in minigames won, he beat everyone else by 6 stars. Needless to say, we insulted and jeered at him for the rest of the night, but we were all a little disapointed with the game anyway (except for the winner, he seemed to like it.) Mario Party 1 > all the other Mario Parties.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Mario on December 28, 2003, 01:12:02 AM
Ahaha, that's never happened to me, i barely won in an epic 50 turn match, i jumped into the lead thanks to the mini game bonus star and beat my friend with 9 stars (he had 8) *is proud*. Disappointed with the game? What didn't you like about it?

Well, we were fine with the graphics and sound, and we even liked the mini-games qite a bit (we didn't find a bumber balls though). It gave a good impression at first, but when you've spent 3-4 hours playing a game, knowing you have no hope of winning, it just gets boring. We had no will to play it again. After the revolution that was the original Mario Party (and Mario Pary 2 and 3, to some extent), it just felt like a let down. I was probobly too harsh on it - I began reading books 5 hours a day and returned it to EB before playing it again.
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Mario on December 28, 2003, 06:24:58 AM
Fair enough i suppose, but im having more fun with 5 than i did with any of the other ones, thats just me though. I really like the space board, which has awesome music and.... yeah. So far it's more of a multiplayer 'hit' with my friends than Mario Kart is, although i like Mario Kart better.

Mario and Luigi is one of the best games I have EVAH played.  Very fun, and this is coming from a guy that doesn't even normally like RPGs.  (Of course, I hardly consider this an RPG, in many respects).

Yay! Good find, Shifty! Activision Anthology for $29.95 alone is a steal, but 25% off that!
You might wanna check out GameFAQs, there's a few lists on what scores you have to get to in certain games to unlock the adverts and patches.

Nope, me no likey XIII, Mario.
It's just so generic. I've seen it all before in the likes of GoldenEye, Mission Impossible 64, Hitman. It offers nothing new or exciting. The cel-shading is about all it's good for, and even then you'd be hard pressed to tell stuff is cel-shaded. The environments are blurry and hazy and stuff. The comic book style stuff is amusing though. I cracked some guy over the head with an ashtray and it showed it in a few panels up the top of the screen.

Good to hear you're liking your games! Mario Party 5 sounds cool! =o
That Grace Bros. sale ends January 12th according to palgn. I lost the catalogue thing.. so.. yeah. I'll head in again when I get McMoney on Friday and see if there's any scrap games left over. Wow, 18 Wheeler!
And I'm not surprised with NFSU. It seemed to be killing the Xbox when I played it, chunky bad frame rate, a strange popping noise in the music every ten seconds or so. Bleh, EA.

Enjoy your epic adventure, Termin8! BRING ME BACK THE TASMANIAN DEVIL!!!
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Termin8Anakin on December 28, 2003, 05:39:24 PM
I will head to Myers down in Melbourne to see if they have anything there.
And where abouts in Melbourne is Nintendo HQ? It's in Scoresby or something, but I frankly have no idea where that is

And Infernal, you don't need me to bring back the Tasmanian Devil. You can already see him in stupidly-ass-boring generic platformers such as Taz Wanted, and if you are daring enough, the Loony Tunes Back in Action game

XIII is brilliant with the GC controller. Very easy to use. Left stick for movement, right stick for aiming, right trigger for shooting (you don't need to click the damn thing in! Yay!), erm, A for jumping and b for picking stuff up. And breaking windows. You press b in front of a window and BAM, it shatters. Like magic!

I can't get on MSN. ;__;

Good to hear hrhrhr. Maybe i'll just rent it... or get the PC version for 'cheap'... or maybe i'll just stop caring about it and buy SSX3 already .

THUG is hilarious, lets just hope Neversoft never develop a serious driving game, the cars control kind of 2Dish, like Pacman, you tap left and the car does a magical turn and just 'ends up' going the way you pressed, well its not that bad but its still funny. And when you drive up a ramp in a halfpipe or something, the car goes up, spins and comes down perfectly, exactly like your skateboard does, it looks so funny.

Nothing exciting indeed, especially compared to what Grace Bros are doing. If Kmart had a 50% off sale for GC it would be the best thing ever, since they actually have GC games, well at least my local store does.

Hopefully i'll be getting SSX3 in an hour, if Grace Bros have it.

I had a delightful adventure in EB today old chaps. First off I spotted Billy Hatcher on the shelf (that in itself is quite amazing), but it had a nice 25% sticker whacked on it. I then traded in Enter the Stinky Matrix and stinky XIII towards it. Ended up costing me a massive $14.95.
Then I got the dudes to match K-Mart's $20 Godzilla Melee price. BAM. Then I decided to poke around and BAM again, I found a copy of Gradius III/IV on PS2. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME SINCE THE PS2'S LAUNCH. Now it's mine!

BILLY HATCHER MAKES ME HAPPY.

I found another bargain! Crazy Taxi, the game that made me fall in love with the DC, was 25% off at EB, so its now mine!

And I'm going away tomorrow for a week. I don't know how I'll survive, but it'll give me a chance to play some Manhunt and Eternal Darkness at weird hours and freak myself out! Hooray!

It seems that since peeack and grey ninja left everything has slowed down to a crawl around the forums.  It was the best during the DoS attacks because only the dedicated PGC'ers came, but now since the forums are working there are just....other people.  Not to put down ALL the noobs......just most of them.

Besides, it's all because the GC got popular.  Before it was just all the COOL people who bought a GC because of their love for Nintendo.  But now it's mostly people who bought  GC because they had $100 laying around.  STOOPIT NINTENDO, WHY MUST YOU SELL GAMECUBES???

I got a gamecube when it first came out, but ive only just started doing these forums. My gamecube was less than you get in the shops because i bought it off somebody who works for Currys (Electrical store) who uses his discount to buy a cheap console with games and then sells it at profit but at a price lower than Currys. Probably illegal but i dont care!

It seems that since peeack and grey ninja left everything has slowed down to a crawl around the forums.  It was the best during the DoS attacks because only the dedicated PGC'ers came, but now since the forums are working there are just....other people.  Not to put down ALL the noobs......just most of them.

Besides, it's all because the GC got popular.  Before it was just all the COOL people who bought a GC because of their love for Nintendo.  But now it's mostly people who bought  GC because they had $100 laying around.  STOOPIT NINTENDO, WHY MUST YOU SELL GAMECUBES???








[/rant]


I got the gamecube a few days after it came out. My family has always been a big nintendo fan. We've always gotten Nintendo consoles above other things. If I had known about this forum, I would have been here a lot longer ago. But I only found this forum a little while ago while browsing the internet. I hope you don't consider me, an "uncool" newbie, and I understand that I am a newbie since I joined a little while ago. But I never considered myself "uncool" in people's eyes because I just joined and you are already judging me. I hope I haven't said anything that might sound stupid to you guys. Sorry if I did. It's kinda harsh if you ask me, though.

Hey, Atari are shipping all their old stock with fancy new Atari stickers on them now, instead of the Game Nation ones. We  may finally see copies of PSO, SMB2 and Skies that they've apparently had sitting in their warehouse for a year or so. Rock on, Atari. I love your cool ways, nobody likes GameCube! Hide the games!

Good chance they'll be cheaper, too. Beach Spikers, Godzilla and other stuff have dropped price with the new stickers.
But yeah, this 'source of info' is a dude at EB. He's cool, but still.... EB.

Oh, and FIFA 2003 is now a Player's Choice game. I saw it with my own six eyes, special silver case and everything. NICE ONE, NINTENDO. Ugh.

Did you not notice the little at the end of Dr. Zoidbergs senteance.

Anyway this topic is not just to talk bout games...you can pretty much talk about anything Australia related.

So who here has seen Welcome to the Jungle ? It is highly reccomended and is like a toned down version of Bad Boys. It doesnt take itself too seriously and has some really nice action scenes.

+ Rock and Stifler
+ Incredible action scenes
+ Funny little monkeys

- Sometimes feels a little cheap ( budget wise )
- Too short

Fifa 2003 players choice? why? TimeSplitters 2 should be players choice soon. I want Sonic Adventure 2: Battle to be players choice... even though its like $50 anyway. I should get that game, 'should'.

Termin8 come back! You're usually the only aussie here who is online really late at night, i have no aussie PGC'ers to talk to..

I am not sure I want to get PoP even if I can get a free game I don't want, not after glancing over at gamefaqs and saw the glitches that are in the game, game freezing, unable to continue with a game because of dumb things that doesn't get computed right or whatnot.  Not my thing.

Check the "Gamecube's midterm report card" thread in Talkback.  It's on one of the earlier pages.  that explains it.

i saw that grey was ranting about the quality of pgc, but i didn't see where he actually said "goodbye" or where bloodworth said "banninated!".  did i miss it, or are you assuming that was grey's last post?  

also, i checked and the post he did in the midterm report card thread was on dec 24, and according to his profile, grey's last visit was on dec 28.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: KnowsNothing on January 06, 2004, 11:42:42 AM
I am assuming that's when he left because he said "I have lost all faith in PGC..." and I don't remember seeing him since.  As for the last post, that might not be it, but remember you can visit PGC without actually posting.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: vudu on January 06, 2004, 11:53:01 AM

I'm pretty sure he just left on his own, like he said he would do one day.  He knew that someday he would just lose interest, pack up, and leave.  And I guess losing all faith in PGC didn't help.

Grey Ninja wasn't banned.  I was quite surprised to hear he hasn't been around, but I guess he figured he'd leave before he did get banned.  Then again it's the Internet.  He could have simply had an emergency that's kept him offline like Mad Cow Disease or something...

After 34 hours of no sleep (being on a boat for 12 hours and the 11 hour drive home STRAIGHT after, then having to go work at the Adidas International Tennis Tournament an hour after THAT from 9 to 6).......Termin8 is back.

With a vengenace to the bastard that is Sleeplessness.

3 bottles of V helped.......
I haven't been on a computer, or a games console for 2 weeks.
And I have 6GB of pron to catch up on this month, and only 2-3 weeks to do it in
And when I finally get onto the computer, only AiAi, Perm and Bert are online!

One interesting thing about the trip was that when we were leaving a motel in Hobart, i looked under the bed to see if anything fell down there, and i found two porno mags....not just nudie pics, but full on hardcore stuff. Boy was I a happy (but careful not to let my folks see it) camper
That's not really the highlight of the trip, but then I guess it's better than telling all you guys that I went on heaps of national park bushwalks to spectacular waterfalls and mountains and lakes

EDIT:
Oh, and I forgot to mention that we went on the tour of the Cadbury chocolate factory in Hobart too!
I can still smell the tons of liquid chocolate.......and we got all the free chocolate we could grab, which was only a little bit, cause we only had our pockets
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Mario on January 09, 2004, 01:54:26 AM
Termin8 returns!

You should have prepared yourself, and worn a huuuuge jacket to fill up with chocolate.

"ummmmmm... sir"
"WHAT?"
"could you please take off your jacket"
"MMMMMM NUM NUM"
"OH GOD"

*blank screen, cue screaming*

It's just PORN mum.

Whats this about a Adidas International Tennis Tournament job?

Beyond Good & Evil is actually being released here on GCN! Yay! Expect it sometime in February. Prince of Persia is also being released on GCN, around March.

Beyond Good and Evil will launch at $49.95, $45 at DVDCrave! O_o

If it didn't devour the memory card, I'd most likely get it. Oh, and XGRA apparently comes out next month on GameCube, at $49.95. Yeah, lets delay it because F-Zero GX is out, then we'll have a bitch when we release it three months later than the PS2/Xbox versions and it doesn't sell. Yay for Acclaim!
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Berto2K on January 11, 2004, 04:50:15 PM
You should get BG&E regardless of the memory "hogness".  It is a great game.  Very zelda-esque in its gameplay.  It is also funny.  I have cought myself laughing outloud a few times from the actions and comments.  The only thing I don't like about it, is that the camera is controlled the same as Splinter Cell which I think is done backwads.  But other than that it is a great game.  I picked it up on Wednesday for the low low price of $20.
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Mario on January 11, 2004, 09:11:09 PM
$49.95!

Well, i would be complaining about the memory card usage, but now i can get BG&E and a Memory Card 251 for $100, so it's all good. Pity i dont know anywhere that sells 251's. I think i might still pass on BG&E though.. *sigh* if only it didnt take up so many blocks.

XGRA? That's so last year. Speaking of futuristic racers, Tube Slider also comes out this month according to nintendo.com.au, but other sites are saying it comes out in March. Wait.. who cares?
Title: RE:Official Aussie Thread Reborn

The next game I'll be getting is of course MGS TT in March.
Wow.
March.

MARCH
It's soooo close isn't it.

Oh! And Chinese New Year is later this January!
MONEY MONEY MONEY!
I can buy games!
Maybe!

So close to launch and Nintendo have done nothing in the way of 'hyping the crap out of it'. C'mon Nintendo, IT'S METAL GEAR. Oh, it comes out NEXT month, Termin8, not March.
"AR YES, I HAVE A BAG OF HAPPY VON JOY JOY"

So much stuff coming out this half of the year.. So little money. And BAH, I'll be attending a wedding the day Puyo Pop comes out. PUYO POP IS MORE IMPORTANT. >=(
Now I can't pre-order it, because EB only keep pre-orders for a day or so after the game has released, and I'll be at WEDDING-VILLE LAND for a few days. Boourns.

So many games comes out the first quarter of 2004, that you are correct.  I don't know what I am going to do, so many games yet so little time.  I will have to invent a stop time machine just so I can play each game to it's fullest.  Or if that doesn't work I could just play the lottery and claim to have lost my ticket.

Optus have revealed their new Cable Internet plans!
- The old 550MB plan has been replaced with a 1GB limit
- The old 3GB and 6GB limit plans have been replaced by a plan with unlimited downloads.
UNLIMITED DOWNLOADS.
- The old 15GB limit plan has been replaced by an 'Unlimited Pro' plan, which prolly means that you get a faster connection or something. I dunno.

BUt this is all good for Optus cable customers!
A bonus is that these changes take place automatically for us starting March 1. No need to ring them up, no fuss.

So get another hard drive, cause this is gonna be heaven!

Happy birth-thing, man.

And to everyone: Kirby Air Ride is an incredible game (saw Mario mention it).  I honestly like it more than Mario Kart: Double Dash, and that is saying something.

Knowsnothing's birthday is coming up. . . or perhaps just passed.  The xkittenx person, too, but I haven't seen her in a while.  Anyway, I promised to remember.  I did, at least in general.  16 and 27 were the dates, I think, but I can't remember which is which.

To me, anyway.  Thing is, I stopped playing Mario Kart as soon as I got all the stuff, whereas there's still lots of stuff to do and find in Kirby.  In short term quality, I'd rate them about equally.

I wrote a review, if you want a better idea: Dis it.

Haven't missed my birthday yet. That's all I'll say.

Berto2K, happy birthday man. Sorry if I'm a bit late.  Things haven't been going my way around here. :\

I'm seriously thinking about NOT getting MK: DD for my birthday.  I don't know why.  Playing it at best buy the other day (next to a HOT girl ) I noticed I didn't realy like the controls.  I'll of course get used to them, but I don't know if the game will keep my interest long enough.

Oh come on, admit it, the idea of a journal is pretty cool ain't it?

I knew you guys were gonna post all the responses you did

And Hostile, it would actually depend on the bridge you were jumping off, and the reasons.
If it was suidicide, then I would have 3 options here in Sydney:
The Harbour Bridge
The Anzac Bridge
The Gladesville Bridge

But if everyone were jumping off some smaller bridges into a river or creek to have a swim, then of course, count me in.

Apparently when they were contructing the Harbour Bridge, of the 7 people who fell off, 6 died. One guy fell off with his hammer. The hammer hit the water first and broke the tension so he survived. Sure they were still peeling his leather boots off his thighs but at least he survived right?

Anzac is the coolest name, so use that one.
Around here, there are basically no bridges. . . except one, but that one's called the "low water" bridge, and is actually submerged most of the time.
So count me out on the mass suicide, guys.  Sorry.

Yeah, creek swimming is fun.  Also around here is a creek with a huge mountain (mean literally almost a mountain) of sand.  We call it the sand thing.  It's fun.

Tension is a force. Having a hammer (or anything for that matter) fall from a height like that, would generate a fair amount of force (F = ma). I wouldn't be surprised if it happened, because it is theoretically possible, but it is near impossible to replicate. Stupid Physics got me thinking about it.

Hey Aussies, go out and buy a copy of Games TM. They actually pay attention to GameCube and Game Boy Advance, they dedicate a huge section of the magazine to retro games each month, and they gave Amped 2 a 5/10.

Sonic Heroes soon! Yay!
And I hope Gregory Horror Show gets an Aussie release. ;_______; Yeah, it's PS2.. But.. It sounds.. So.. Cool! A horror game that uses Cubivore style graphics that makes fun of horror games! That makes sense, honest!

Stupid Nintendo, if they actually released games here, I wouldn't have to resort to talking about PS2.
HEY LETS RELEASE 1080 IN APRIL FOR NO REASON? KIRBY? HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT. WANNA PLAY ZELDA? I THINK WE RELEASED THAT, LET ME CHECK THIS DATABASE. *Falls to sleep in a urinal*

Games TM is a pretty cool mag, but it is stupidly expensive, and I don't have the life-saving weekly dole from my parents anymore

A guy DID survive from falling off the Harbour Bridge while it was under construction. And some others have survived to since it's been finished, but then they only jumped/fell from the street level part.
You can actually walk on top of the bridge - it's a huge tourist thing.

I couldn't care less about reviews, I'm a mindless Sonic fanboy. Plus it's more in tune to the classic Mega Drive versions than the Adventure games, and that can only be a good thing. Hey Termin8, Games TM is $9.95. Same price as the poor dead Cube mag and stuff. The UK versions sells for $15.95 or something. >_>

In this case it's not, imo...

Sega just needs to awaken to the fact that they need to ditch the dead weight(superflous characters and objectives) and just concentrate on levels that are based on speed...Just like the good old days...

I've never been a huge Sonic fan, but my friend murk is, and methinks it would be muchos better if they went back to 2D. . . you can't do the speed thing in 3D too well. . . or they don't do it too well, anyway, and that's what it should be about.  Very fast adventure.

Would anybody know here the location of the F-Zero AX machines in Australasia? I heard there is one in New Zealand, but I have no idea where it is.

I haven't played Heroes yet; but from what I hear, it's not some sort of Sonic insurrection, which is the only logical consequence of a real Sonic game being released. Too many people will buy this game (as I bought Sonic Adventure Battle 2) thinking: "hey! Look! It's Sonic, my old pal Sonic! He wouldn't lie to me, right?." I hope this game seriously bombs, if only to shock Sega into realising what they've done.

Sorry if my grammar is off, I just got my results back - I'm shaking with pure excitment.

Just another rumour about Nintendo doing something here then, you get these sorts of things here. They're not so different than mirages in deserts: they're both born of desperation mixed with cautious hopefulness. Still, this one seemed a bit more likely; if they were bought by a large arcade chain, for whatever reasons they might have decided to put it in Auckland; you don't need a city of more than 900k or so to reach a sort of critical mass I guess.

It seems that NoNZ has been marginally better of late, taking into consideration their limited expenses. We got the All Blacks GBA SP, and I saw an add for it. It was aimed solely at kids, and was played at 2am, but it was at least a start.

Thanks for telling me, and thanks to Mario who I forgot to thank for the Sonic Mega thingie information.

Small question.  I don't think many of the Aussies will be able to answer it as it has to do with the Visual C++ program.  Maybe somebody with experience will venture by to read this question (one that is so simple I am embarrassed to ask).

Alright, I have Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and I want to get started.  I open up the program and then what?  I have no clue what I need to do to start writing the code (not that I have anything useful to write).  The help section doesn't work (literally) and i can't find anything online to help me.  I want to start with the simple and cliche beginner program "Hello World" but don't know where to start.  Where do I write the code and how would I execute it?

Hey, I'm from New Zealand as well.

KnowsNothing: I can't help you with that, but if you want to learn to program, I can recommend Python. I know it's not C++, so sorry if you need to learn it for school or something, but Python really is something. There are thousands of tutorials, but this one probobly takes the cake. There's also a mailing list if you want more specific help. If you're looking for web based stuff, there are (more advanced) tutorials here. It's a powerful language and it's easy to learn. It's also free.

For programming, I suggest everyone look at Java. I've been learning it over the past year. Easy for beginners, powerful for the advanced programmer. Heaps of tutorials, especially at www.java.com. The only downside is the large download and setup of everything needed to get started. Worth a look, trust me.

shifty:  well, apparently they do teach java at my high school (next year baby).  I got a wee bit confused...first there was C++, then it was java, then it was BASIC, now it's BASIC and java.  Bet your buttocks I'm taking java.

And i'm learning C++ now too...but I can't even figure out the flipping program. *curses*

*loads shotgun for KN and Swordsplay*
HUNT'D
KN: C++ is similar to Java in terms of programming structure and such, so it won't be such a huge difference.

Its all hopeless, especially for KN   (JK).  Im hoping to go for Meteorology not computers.

DO U WANT TO BE A WEATHERMAN?  

If you become a weather man you can controll the weather!  I live in RI and I don't like the cold.  FIX IT!

EDIT:  Shifty:  when I meant learning, i meant JUST STARTED.  I can do things about as complicated as simple math problems like a + b or something.   IF COULD GET THE PROGRAM TO WORK.

Controlling the weather will be fun.  A constant 70 degrees in Minnesota, every where else will be 65 degrees, except for KN house and state where it will be a constant -90 degrees 24/7, and if he moves, the weather goes with him.

Well, erm, are you compiling the programs? *shrugs*

Hrhrhhrhrhr, meteorology. *pictures Swordsplay watching meteor, getting squashed by said meteor*
Title: RE: Official Aussie Thread Reborn
Post by: Swordsplay on January 23, 2004, 06:36:36 PM
Its interesting that you mention that, because meteorology has nothing to do with meteors, even in weather.  It deals with astronomy, even if it were raining meteors, it would still be astronomy.  Weird huh?  You'll probably see me on TV with the rest of the news crew, make sure you look for me in the future!

Actually, meteor- in Latin means “heavenly body" or "atmospheric phenomenon” so it fits perfectly well with the falling rocks from the sky and the study of weather...

Oh yeah, and another thing, i was going to get Billy Hatcher yesterday, but EB were selling it for $99. $99. So i said nothing and walked out of there, that will teach them.

Hell yeah!  I got my first C++ program to work!  1 + 2 baby!  You guys have no idea how excited this makes me.  I am such a nerd.   The best part is I didn't just memorize what to do, I actually understood it.

It wasn't the compiling of the program...i was just writing it in the wrong spot.

so er, why exactly does this thread exist? i thought the first one was closed because it turned into a horrible pile of spammy* garbage, much like this one, i sorta figured this was ment to be about the discussion of aussie related news / games, i guess not eh.
*knowsnothing's posts are the good flavour of spam, unlike swordsplay's.ohwell it's a moot point anyway, i'm no better, GOOBLAH FORUM ANGST!.

does that even get followed anymore? blergh.

ANYWAYGames TM is indeed a pretty good magazine, they mention monkey island and it's parrody of Sierra's random death sequences , but they also said 'judging from the screenshots we arn't expecting much' in regards to Mario and Luigi, so they are a bit of a mixed bag, still a pretty good magazine, with an EXCELENT scoring system,  instead of anything even halfway decent getting a 7+ a game that gets 5 is still a good game but not a classic, so ja, much better

Im sorry i did that, but they were playing games with me, so i played back.  Anyways, TM is a good magizine, but what about EGM, or Game Informer, EGM is a great magazine, not so sure on how good Game Informer is though.

we don't get EGM out here, unless some newsies import it or something atleast i've never seen it, or Game Informer, we don't get that either. incase you missed my less than subtle point I was trying to turn this back into an aussie thread, but what ever.

Although that would mean no more KnowsNothing in the Aussie thread, I kinda agree with Bill.   Otherwise there's no stopping me from spamming this place from here to hell.

the Aussies need a place to live (besides Australia).  *nods head*
