    It's not so bad for you guys in Murica, but here in Australia, Microsoft are going to fuck us with no lube, especially now that they are getting rid of microsoft points.. The PS3 cost $1000 when it first came out here, and if I recall correctly, it was US $499 at release over there. If the PS4 is going to have the same price, I'm not entering the next gen for a long time.

    Titanfall was awesome looking. The rest... meh The price. $499 US? Sweet Jebus, that'll make it at least $900 in Australia.

    Any Rush song would be awesome. Some 80s Rush for night driving http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsTxxPOqzc4 Just a whole station of Rush It's a shame R* have ignored prog in any of the GTAs. Genesis in VCS and IV is as close as we have got, and that was their pop stuff.

    The amount of shit I would release from my bowels if I saw that in reality would mask the smell of those tunnels nicely.

    ^Good shit. The first song reminds me a bit of Intervals. Speaking of which, Dio/Gtagrl, hopefully you may have heard of them, seeing as they are Canadian and such. And speaking of instrumental space-prog bands, here's Halcyon from Straya. Sidenote: I don't get all the hate Supercollider is getting. Sure, it's not thrash, but Megadeth haven't been a thrash band in over 20 years. I think it shits on Thirteen. I like the Sabbath influences, the solos are good, and I actually like Dave's lower vocals, plus I'd rather hear his preachy lyrics than his "der demmycrat gubberment took ur jerbs and ur liberties" shit. The production is the best they've had since The System Has Failed Imo. My only complaints are Ellefson's bass isn't prominent enough, and Broderick doesn't have enough long arse fuck off solos. Give that man his time to shine, Mustaine. My verdict - 7/10. Not perfect, but a solid heavy metal album. If you're a fan of Youthansia like I am, it's as close to a follow up to that as you're going to get. Just go into it thinking it's in the youth/cryptic/risk/system vein and you won't be disappointed. Go into thinking it's another Rust In Peace and you're going to have a bad time. Edit: Dio, and anyone else who's interested, why not travel to the homoerotic funpark that is tumblr and read part 1 of my blog about bad metal albums. Do it, or I'll masterbate in front of a baby. http://darthhandsome.tumblr.com/post/52316442165/stanger

    ^This. I can't stand the Heat. I disliked them even before Lebron joined. Also, Aussie Patrick Mills plays for the Spurs, and clearly he is the only reason they made it this far But he is a better player than he gets credit for. See?
  7. Handsome B Wonderful
    Goddamn Heat. Considering 9 teams have shared the last 30 championships, I'm amazed anyone who supports any of the other teams even bothers watching the NBA sometimes.

    Some Zero Hour for youse. Dat Bass Awesome album, awesome singer. Pity they haven't made anything nearly as good since.

    EB is run by a bunch of shitheads. I pre-ordered GTA V in August last year. I was told I'd be notified if any special editions became available. Then they rang me on the day the collector's edition was announced and told me there were "only" 4000 collector's editions being given to eb in Australia, and they wouldn't be able to offer me one. I was tired and I couldn't be arsed arguing with them, so I took the special editon. If I find a JB that has it, I'm cancelling my pre-order.

    Yeaaaaah Pacers.

    The new Alice In Chains album is great. Heavier than their last one, too.
  12. Handsome B Wonderful
    wow, the Spurs-Grizzlies series didn't last long. Tis a pity, as they were pretty good games.

    The amount of profits received from sales guaranteed with pre-orders would be dwarfed by actual sales once the game is released. Unless your game is absolutely guaranteed of reaching projected sales (which GTA V obviously will), I think it would be wiser for publishers to spend whatever money they may spend on these bonuses on advertising their game. Well some of it anyway (See: new Tomb Raider considered a flop because so much money was spent on advertising it). But that's for another topic. If this is the future of gaming, I'm damned opposed! I think we can both agree that regardless of our thoughts on the pros and cons of disc-locked content... I mean DLC, R* are offering some pretty good stuff with that Collectors Edition.
  14. Handsome B Wonderful
    I don't think anyone has a problem with pre-order incentives if they have some physical worth. Caps, keyrings, maps etc are all awesome. It's downloadable pre-order exclusive content that should be (and probably is) on the disc that pisses some people off. Will you be so supportive of these companies in the future if they decide to continually increase the amount of micro-transactions in their games? What if you had to pay real money everytime you wanted to buy ammo in GTA? They are businesses after all... And sense of entitlement? What, because I spent about the first 15 years of my gaming life receiving the FULL game I payed for (and boy did they cost a lot). Last time I checked, the companies weren't charity organizations back then either.

    @MrMister: I have a problem with it because it's an unnecessary practice. Offering in-game content only benefits those who have their consoles connected to the internet. It is of no value to those who can't go online for whatever reason, yet they still end up paying the same price for the game. Also, I've been burnt too many times pre-ordering games. Just today I got a phonecall from eb games saying "We are just notifying you that Australia's only getting 4000 copies of the Collectors edition. Unfortunately we won't be able to offer it to you (even though I specifically asked for any such edition when I placed my pre-order). We can give you the special edition instead" Gee thanks. I know the damn mofo employees are going to get first dibs on the Collectors editions.

    Like they did for LA Noire? And Red Dead Redemption? And Max Payne 3? "Resorting to it" isn't the correct term at all. GTA IV special edition had dick, it WAS a waste of money. Having pre-order in game content is a standard video game practice now. In fact, they would be slammed if they didn't include anything. Like the didn't do with III, Vice City, San Andreas, and IV The industry is doomed if they think including in-game content with pre-orders will have any significant impact on game sales. All it does is make a large amount of people who didn't pre-order jealous for 2 minutes, and those who did pre-order pissed off when the content turns up a couple of months later for free/cheap. At least R* are offering physical content with V as well.
  17. Handsome B Wonderful
    It's fucked that R* is resorting to offering exclusive in-game content for pre-orders. For shame Having said that, I've already pre-ordered the game, so I might as well get the collector's edition

    **moves to Australia** Their dollar is worth 2 cents more than ours and everything seems to be at a markup compared to the states. Don't bother. Also, the place is filled with giant, man-eating spiders and kangaroos wearing boxing gloves. Yeah, but the average wage in Australia is almost twice that of the states. The best plan for him would be to get a job here for a year, knock up a few sheilas, move back to America, buy many consoles, profit. Also, you forgot drop bears.

    God that was shit. I keep an open mind about consoles, but that was just poor. -No in-game graphics on display, all just cg cutscenes. And they didn't even look impressive. -Senor spielbergo involved with a Halo Tv show (wtf that had to do with the console I don't know). Yay... - EA Sports doing some sort of fantasy league crap. I almost fell asleep during that bit. - The damned thing looks like an early 90's CD player. And guys, 5 billion transistors!!! Take that, Sony!

    Did the PSP and the PS2 versions both have the same storylines? I'm guessing yes. Yeah,they did. VCS on PS2 had a few extra side quests added in.
  21. Handsome B Wonderful
    This trailer doesn't give much away. I almost crapped myself at the end.
  22. Handsome B Wonderful
    I think D-O will like this. Quite similar to Myrath. Hungarian folk power-prog metal.
  23. Handsome B Wonderful
    i guess that answers my question. So I'm expecting an even higher level of pre-order bonuses for SR4 than SR3 had. I wouldn't be surprised if they try to charge $5 every time you want to change your character's features.
  24. Handsome B Wonderful
    True. William co-produced that song, though. I wonder if the station it's on will be similar to the vibe. If it is, I reckon this should be there as well. The White Lady RnB station!!!
  25. Handsome B Wonderful
    Oh god no. C'mon. I know people are into hardcore rap, death metal and all that on this forum, but there is always so much hate for pop music. I'll never understand it. It may not be your cup of tea, but it doesn't mean its not someone else's. I welcome all kinds of music. I didn't think I liked death metal until The Lost and Damned, now the stuff has grown on me. I don't listen to it regularly, but I've learned to appreciate it as a genre. Dude, I like good pop music. I wouldn't be such a massive fan of Vice City's stations if I didn't. I just immensely dislike anything Black Eyed Peas-related. Bunch of hacks. That Fergie song was only popular because it samples Sheila E's "Glamorous Life". Which Prince wrote. I don't think you understood his post. What you think is crappy other people think is great. Rockstar isn't just trying to appeal to you. If you don't like it don't listen to that station. Just be happy we got another song confirmation. Also: that song fits the slutty rich young California girl vibe perfectly, like Michaels daughter. Of course I understood his post. I wasn't saying the song itself is crappy (I don't mind it), I'm just against the inclusion of BEP, as they (well, William. I refuse to add the ... in) have a history of plagiarizing other people's music. I agree though, the song does have a Californian vibe. It will suit driving at night along the coast. Edit:Really, Cheez it? At least add something constructive. Or just continue gangbanging me with everyone else because you think I'm a metal elitist who hates QD music. I don't mind. I've got plenty of lube.
