    First off that's where I get the majority of my games. If where you live is anywhere like where I live you will know how hard it is to find GC games.

    Yeah, most computer speciality shops carry less than 10 games and department stores have even less. Thanks for the recommendations guys, I'm going to rent Animal Crossing tonight as I know that's at the video shop... if I see any others you guys mentioned I'll grab them too. Cheers.

  2. I sung that "We come from the land downunder" song a couple of weeks ago at my first kareoke. Got the pulses racing and the aussie in everyone came out. Good fun. Sing something up tempo so people get into it - the people who sing slow songs and take themselves seriously are trollops.

  3. I bought a gamecube the other week and have played the hell out of the games I bought with it (Ninja Turtles, Batman & Rayman 3). I really liked Ninja Turtles and Batman, but Rayman blew. Anyway, just want to get some recommendations for my next purchase? I'll rent whatever before hand to check if I like it, so recommend anything regardless of genre. I just want to get another badass game.

  4. I like TISM :$ I started listening to them when what are ya first came out and haven't looked back. They're quite funny and their music is actually quite catchy. All the people comparing them to Anal Cunt have never heard their music. Completely different.

  5. Ok, Jimmy hasn't seen the movie and apparently hasn't seen any Michael Moore interviews, but insists on touting that review as a credible source on what the movie is about.

    I can't call him on that cause its a "personal attack"

    right.

    As soon as you said "So, thanks captain obvious, I eagerly await your next review of a movie you haven't seen and know nothing about" it became a personal attack. He didn't write the review, just added it as a discussion piece and you jumped down his throat. Your whole post actually was very hostile, no need for you to get pissed because someone doesn't necessarily agree with the same things you do.

  6. Yes, and Moore consistently refers to it as a "movie."  In fact, I haven't heard him mention "documentary" once.  In the TV ads they say, "only one FILM has received a twenty-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival."  Regardless, no documentary/film from Moore or anyone obviously taking a stance on an issue (which Moore certainly is) should ever be taken entirely as fact.  I beg of you to show me a documentary where there isn't some sort of bias.  The facts are the facts, but the movie is Moore's opinion and he doesn't deny that.  On the Daily Show this week, he said he was being unfair towards Bush and the movie is his opinion.

    Yes, I know the purpose of a documentary is to "swerve" the viewer (and at this Moore is one of the best), and I know that there is no truely unbias film/doco/book/whatever. I know Moore claims the film is not a documentary, that's it's simply just "his movie", but that is horse shit. It's portrayed as a documentary everywhere apart from Moore's mouth.

    Regardless, I personally don't take "it's his opinion" as a good excuse to blatantly lie and twist truths.

    btw, just for the record, I don't mind Moore films. They're generally pretty entertaining, it just annoys me the Moore "followers" who believe automatically everything they say... you know the type, the 16 year old who saw Bowling For Columbine and read Stupid White Men, so now he's a political activist.

  7. If Moore was putting this shit in the editorial page of the newspaper, no one would care!  But film is much more powerful and that gets people riled up.

    Difference is, an editorial is presented as an opinon piece, and a documentary is presented as fact.

    btw, welcome back bluesman
