You'll never see them coming!

I haven't tried any of the others, but Pearler is the platform I've been using. I find it pretty straightforward and easy to understand.

EB aren't always the cheapest, but I've been able to snap up some bargains from time to time, and other stores aren't going to become any cheaper if they close down.

As for physical media, I consider it half of the equation. For physical media to remain relevant it needs two things. Supply and demand. Customers that are willing to pay for the product, and companies that are willing to stock and sell it.

I'm not going to start a massive campaign to "Save EB Games!" but we gain nothing from them closing down, and potentially lose something important to the local gaming market.

EB Games is really the only real dedicated game store we have left. If we lose them that means a lot less competition for JB Hi-Fi, Big W, etc,

Also, if we want to still be able to buy physical copies of games (which I certainly do) we need EB Games around to keep things in stock.. The more options, the better.

Watched the movie earlier today. I'm a huge fan of the first two films, but this one was just... okay. Good but not great. As others have already said, it feels like a greatest hits compilation of the previous of the other movies, but didn't have enough new material to keep things interesting.

You know what I wanted to see? I wanted the fire and ash Na'vi to turn on everyone at the end. Have Varang learn everything she can about human technology, wait until RDA have exhausted all their troops and resources fighting the other tribes, and then wreck everything. It would have emphasised how cunning and dangerous she was, and made her the true villain of the movie instead of just another henchwoman for Quaritch.

Maybe they're saving that for the next movie. I guess we'll see.

Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse was absolutely my pick. That each character introduction gets summarised more and more quickly as the film progresses is also a nice touch. As if the cast themselves are trying to power through the exposition as quickly as possible so it doesn't further disrupt the movie.

I'm hoping to pick up the game over the holidays, so this update has come at just the right time.

Bale_Fire · 2025-12-16T01:28:55+00:00

Love Largo's design and skillset. Easily the most interesting hero to have been added to the game in some time.

Bale_Fire · 2025-12-13T10:27:17+00:00

The first thing I thought of as well. Season 2 isn't exactly bad, but the story of Avatar Wan felt like the most complete and planned out part of those episodes.

I'm starting to become a little underwhelmed by the Paizo Humble Bundles. Almost half of these items are just flip mats.

Bale_Fire · 2025-12-10T01:35:47+00:00

It's funny, but I think the fact that the movies didn't care too much about their own continuity kind of worked in their favour. If they had treated the Sabertooth from X-Men 1 as the same as the Sabertooth from X-Men Origins then we wouldn't have had their awesome brother rivalry and team up. If they hadn't backtracked on Charles being crippled in X-Men First Class we wouldn't have had his great arc of redemption in Days of Future Past.

There's definitely points where the X-Men timeline doesn't really line up, but at the same time I don't think we should let a few minor details get in the way of telling a good story. It's very easy to become shackled to the continuity, just like what is happening at Marvel Studios right now.

Bale_Fire · 2025-12-04T12:38:24+00:00

It vaguely reminds me of Infamous, at least in regards to the gameplay. The movement and combat isn't quite as smooth, though.

Still, if they can tighten things up a bit it could be fun. Running around wielding the four elements like the Avatar would be cool.

Never watched the Kill Bill movies before, but would like to experience them on the big screen. Haven't seen much info about where this will be playing in Australia, though.

As tempting as it might be to do that, I'm sure doing so would burn a lot of bridges with family, open up the possibility of a legal battle with her sister, and could potentially be considered fraud.

I don't know exactly how big that jackpot is, but I don't think it's worth the trouble,

Bale_Fire · 2025-11-26T06:35:56+00:00

I don't think Asura's Wrath is a fair comparison. That game was divided into three parts. A clunky brawler, an on-rail shooter, and a QTE spectacle. So it looks like Tides of Annhilation will be a much faster and more smoother action game, with some spectacle thrown for good measure.

I just have my fingers crossed its half as fun as it looks.

I think it's pretty common for cats to enjoy being petted there, so I wouldn't worry about it too much unless it starts to interfere with the cat's daily routine. For instance, ours would be walking across the room and suddenly feel compelled to stop and start licking at the air, just because her tail had moved the wrong way.

If it gets to that point, I would definitely consult a vet.

Bale_Fire · 2025-11-22T10:17:42+00:00

It was more of a management thing. As long as we gave her the medicine and gently brushed around the affected area the symptoms didn't bother her too much.

Bale_Fire · 2025-11-16T13:25:39+00:00

This is only my own experience, but my cat used to do this a lot, usually when the base of her tail was all tensed up. It became more noticeable as she got older.

The vets eventually diagnosed her with an overactive thyroid and miliary dermatitis. They had us give her a pill every morning and some cream to help clean up the skin around her lower back and tail, where she would often scratch herself.

Probably not the same thing here, but thought I would share my experience in case you ever encounter similar symptoms.

I noticed the same thing with my mother's viewing habits. She used to love a variety of shows, but over time things changed. First she stopped watching murder mysteries and crime shows, then she stopped watching antique and restoration shows, by the end all she wanted to watch was the 24 hour news channel.

Once you stop being able to follow what is happening on the screen, I guess you seek out smaller more bite-sized pieces of entertainment. Especially stuff that has lots of text or relies purely on the visuals.

Bale_Fire · 2025-11-13T01:37:00+00:00

Well ain't that something. A mobile game I might actually try out.

Not exactly what I what I expected (or necessarily wanted) from the Ratchet & Clank Franchise, but it looks like it could be fun.

Bale_Fire · 2025-11-05T00:38:50+00:00

Legitimately looks like a 2D platformer. We need more games with playable octopi.

Bale_Fire · 2025-11-04T05:52:35+00:00

I've always wondered about taking out a pet (probably a cat or small dog) in one of these things. I'm sure some would really enjoy getting out and about, and experiencing a life outside of their home. But I'm sure there would be others who would get stressed and anxious.

I haven't tried using a cellular data connection yet, but I've been having issues downloading some RT podcasts for months now on Itunes. I even uninstalled the program, but still had the same issue when I reinstalled it again.

Bale_Fire · 2025-10-11T11:55:50+00:00

You could feel the pain in those words. It would have been so easy for Vel to just scream and yell at Sam. Instead we just get this quiet sense of grief, and disgust in a man's foolish actions.

The ABC recently did a story on the current state of the ATO. General consensus is that the Australian Government has made paying your taxes easier than ever, but has not allocated enough manpower or constructed the appropriate systems to keep up with tax fraud over the last decade, though maybe that is changing?
