I'm Angry

Well, it's not exactly the country as a whole's issue.

Just overpricing asshats in particular companies are doing it or are refusing to distribute or sell any of their products physically or digitally in particular regions.

Total bullshit.

It's good to see that they are supporting America first and foremost by giving Americans discounts though

I'm angry that Gaddafi is dead, I expected more from the man. In fact I find myself disappointed by a lot of dictators these days, they hide like cowards only to be dragged out onto the streets and paraded around.

Should be more like this:

I'd say being shot in the head and still walking around was pretty badass.

On a more serious note - this video is quite interesting.. though slightly strange http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJURNC0e6Ek

I thought the "Libyans are free and sovereign people" part at the end was pretty hilarious. No matter what the man did for his country, his people never endured freedom. Is freedom abiding to a single man behind power? Ironically, most of the stuff pointed out in the video is Gaddafi-pro propaganda. How I know? I actually lived in Libya for a period back in the 90s, in Misrata (the city where his body is currently located). It was a backward country where hitting students in schools was common and actually promoted by "brother Gaddafi", it was a dictatorship where you didn't have a voice of freedom. That video you saw is full of shit. There was not even clean water in that city, you had to drive miles in the heat to get water. The government payed 50 % of your car? LOL.

[Mr. Spencer]

Does this provide enough evidence to support our war on America?

[Enetirnel]

Just thought I'd let you know.

Though, most parts of Europe and the nearby Kiwis also get screwed over too.

[Mr. Spencer]

I had no idea that this was a competition to see who got fucked over the most!

[Enetirnel]

Retail is still higher for me. Instead of games being $40-50, new games are usually $80 upwards.

I'm pretty sure ME2 is still around $80. Because despite that we're both on the EU PSN, there's still regional pricing going on there.

I saw some decently priced stuff on there the other day and then it came up with an error that my region isn't entitled to that price.

Cheapest new games I've gotten recently outside of special prices, was Portal 2 (was marked at $50 due to them not removing the tag when previously competing with another store during a sale months ago), Lord of Arcana - Slayer Edition - for $30, it was previously at $80.

And No More Heroes - Heroes Paradise was about $70 going off the top of my head.

So yup, even our PSP games are the same price as our PS3 games. PS3 games go up even higher, I remember the Bayonetta Climax Edition for the PS3 was what... like $200? It was either that or one of the other larger "Special Editions" - or as I like to call them in most cases, giant fucking rip-offs.

I only tend to get ones that have OSTs and artbooks. OR if it has something useful, like a good bag or something like that - but only if I really like it.

It's a shame that with NieR's release there wasn't exactly much for it, Japan got bonus OSTs that had some prototype music versions in contrast to the final soundtrack.

[Mr. Spencer]

Sounds like we're both getting shafted then. Here's an example, the PlayStation Store. At retail you can buy a new game for around £40-45, on the Store you can expect to pay £60. Mass Effect 2 I believe is still sitting that at sixty quid.

From your post we can deduce that Robin Walker has no influence outside TF2, he is failing his own countrymen.

^ Spencer, don't even get me fucking started on the pricing on Steam.

GTA Complete Pack - $17.49
GTA IV Complete - $13.59
GTA Classics - $10.19

Or hey, want to see really ripped off?

Mass Effect 2 Digital Deluxe Edition whilst it was on Steam, going through the Australian page - $80.

US Page, $40.

Don't even get me started on the other ones, $100-$120.

:/

And this was when the Australian dollar was either higher or on par.

[Mr. Spencer]

Nothing I'm angry about but an observation I've made regarding Valve's bizarre pricing on Steam. During the weekend deal on the Dawn of War series, a friend of mine from Holland was able to buy Dawn of War II: Retribution for €5 (around £4.30) while I was being charged £10 and that's at sale price, which is somewhere close to €11. I was essentially paying €5 more than my European friend.

But there's more, the latest deal on the Grand Theft Auto series adds more confusion. They offer two bundles, one of which costs £6.79 and you get pretty much every game in the series EXCEPT for GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City. Yet if you scroll down to the second bundle, you get all of the above PLUS GTA IV and Episodes from Liberty City for £4.99, so you're essentially paying £2 more for two less games.

It makes no sense but then I realise that Robin Walker is Australian, who I immediately place suspicion on for fucking over those damn pommies.

Cool, i already did the 5 i needed.
And i'm in high school, next year im going to be a senior. X3
Wanna a trick of how to learn to draw? Just get a paper sheet and choose a picture online, after some time you'll learn how to do it and will get a style of your own! It's how i started to draw and now i don't need to do like that anymore. It takes some time to real learn it but it's worth it.

Oh I just graduated high school about 5 months ago. And thanks, I'm going to have to try that some time and practice art, after all the ability to draw may come in handy in the future.

[cyndercute]

You have to about 5.3 a day, if you count today. Well that really sucks, I could never do that. I took mechanical drawing in high school and I completely and utterly failed. I did everything I could, I went in almost every day before school started to practice, but in the end I simply couldn't do it. Art has never been one of my strong suits lol. So are you doing this for high school or college?

By the sounds of it, that will take forever? So you're doing it by yourself or is anyone helping you?

I'm used to do 1 draw per day...and it needs to be perfect cuz my hole school is going to see it. And no, nobody is...i'm the only one in my class that draws and my parents don't know neither...

[Ununoctium]

It's like a A4 draw paper sheet that goes on a A3 and it needs to be drawed with Technical pencil and colored....i need to do 16 of those to monday...T-T
