So 2010s Australia is 1980s America? Well I hope you all have the coke, synth guitars, deregulation of advertising and sugary cereals to make up for it.

That'll be on my GCN wishlist then.

Yeah, social gets in the way of me doing work, because I always think I'm missing out if I don't go out on Fri/Sat nights even if I'm kinda trying to do something proiductive. Blech.

I know why it happens, as I said to Matt it's just the big players wanting a big share of the market. But that doesn't breed the type of competition that helps consumers.

The only Mario RPGs I've really played or seen are the SNES and N64 ones. And yeah, SMRPG felt like an FF game. I loved the humor in Paper Mario.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's so each of the big players can ensure a bigger market share for themselves. But that's still a good theory. haha

Right now GTA III, but this is a problem I have more generally and outside games. I don't have OCD, but I have some minor symptoms I think.

I still vastly prefer console to PC for optimization, but I really wish it were more like movie and music players where there might be a difference in quality as far as the hardware last and its storage space, but having to miss out on a game because you don't have the money to own multiple consoles is supremely annoying and always has been. I am incredibly sick of the misinformed argument that exclusivity is somehow necessary for competition. 

I seem to have seen SRIV on sale more than any other game on Steam, and a couple times on PSN. Never played a SR, but guess I'll have to jump next time; it'll go well with playing the PS2 GTAs on my PS4, since I never really played them for long when they were released. Seems to me GTA games are satire and SR more parody. I could use the silliness of parody. 

I'm hoping you guys have a Melbourne Game Party of 2016 like the Boston Tea Party, but with you all hijacking a bunch of copies of imported GTA (ironically) Blu Rays and throwing them into a body of water.

Happy belated!

I saw him live for free in Dallas. One of the best concerts I've ever been to. Thanks for the heads up!
