Paxter Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yeah there is a first time for everything isn't there?mate the streets must be wild over there considering the celebrations for reaching second with 2 from 2If you'd seen me celebrating on Sunday, you would have thought we just beat the reigning premiers in the Grand Final, not Round 3 of the home and away season ;).@Stubby: I've never checked out Underbelly. Any good?Watching Mad Men ATM, which is decent stuff, if a little light-on in the plot department. The whole show is basically the characters.

Paxter Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Damn. New SA A-G not exactly what I would call pro-R18+. But still a vast improvement over Atkinson:Now, John Rau has told GameSpot AU that he has not yet formed a stance on the issue."I have no preconceptions about this issue and intend to listen to the arguments. I can neither support nor wisely argue against a position if I am not aware of the relevant factors," he said."It is worth noting that ultimately, the decision does not rest with me alone. Any change would require the support of each jurisdiction's attorney-general." Link to full article@Stubby: looks like another series to add to the "to watch" list then. But first: Mad Men and then probably a Deadwood re-watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to watch it since it was on at 2:40am here but by all reports the Dockers toughed it out (!!!) when normally Geelong would have pulled away.Now for the Saints. Be interesting to see how that one goes! No Riewoldt or Kosi might make scoring for them difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldLordPlumm Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I watched the first 5 minutes of Underbelly 3 but had to hit the hay.I've seen th efirst 2 and liked the 2nd one the most. The main feature they missed was Al Grassbys link to Bob Trimbole and the Calabrian mafia. I guess too many labor party members wouldn't have watched it then...We had a work dinner and I joked with a boss about it and how hammed up the corruption seemed. For instance Dieter Brummer (Haken) and the other two corrupt dudes drinking VB while in a spa in a brothel while on duty. The boss said oh no it's not hammed up at allllllllllll.And yes the sex really sells that program, though the parts with matthew newton sucked. Well any part iwth matthew newton sucked. Underbelly a tale of two titties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyrazer Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I've only seen the first season of Underbelly and I thought it was shit. I guess I've been spoilt by American television with shows like The Wire and The Shield.If you want REAL aussie drama, watch Blue Murder or Phoenix.

gryphon strike Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Underbelly may be a fun show to watch but please do not believe jack about the "Reality" aspects of it.The first one had so much stuff totally wrong in it that I laughed more than anything else, especially since some of the real stuff is already documented fact.

Paxter Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Now for the Saints. Be interesting to see how that one goes! No Riewoldt or Kosi might make scoring for them difficult.Well, I'm certainly hopeful, but I don't really see us winning this one. The Geelong game was one thing - it was on our home turf and we had a massive point to prove after previous Geelong games at Subiaco. The Saints will be a different proposition altogether. You never know though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callum Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 In other news, we just had an earthquake :)Anyone who's experienced one before probably wouldn't call it that, but my desk was shaking a little bit. Much more exciting than the assignment I'm doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more exciting than the assignment I'm doing...was a bit more in my flat windows rattling etc or so I am told, I slept through it.It was 3.8 on the richter scale and the epicentre was 10-15km's south of Wistow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Well, it was fun while it lasted, but the streak is over. Not a bad game though - we were matching StK goal for goal in the first three quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxter Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Stop the press!The matter of whether Australia should introduce an R18+ classification for video games is on the agenda for discussion at the next Standing Committee of Attorneys-General meeting on May 7.
