Melborne 09 Review

Vinay Deonarain is online.
Chris: dude!
1. the new f1 cars look like cartoon cars.
2. drumming (as per GH:WT) is fokken hard
3. How the fuck are you doing?
Vinay: hey man
sorry, didn't see you there
new cars are a bit f**ked up
hahhaa ... glad you still playing games in some way shape or form
life is carrying on bru ... but its not terribly interesting at the moment
how about you?
you well?
wife kids?
how is everyone?
Chris: im well
as is the wife and kids.
Vinay: cool :-)
what you been up to hey?
its been a really f**king long time
Chris: it has
i blame you :P
Vinay: thats fine
Chris: f1 world championships have been launched, won and lost
Vinay: i accept full responsibility
Chris: since we last met
Vinay: hahahahaha
so tru
you doing anything different other than raising kids?
do you still give a f**k about work? lol
Chris: work is ok
world of warcraft still owns me
raising kids is kiff
at least, when theyre being cute.
Vinay: hahahahaha
sure
Chris: when theyre naughty
well fuck...
Vinay: and then whenthey stop being cute
they start playing WoW
;d
Chris: then they ....
Vinay: hahhaha
Chris: i have a bad case of guitar fingers
from
Vinay: you got world tour on wii?
Chris: playing electric and gh this weekend
yebo
worst idea ever
the wii has the least amount of free shit in its online store
and
no one has made champions of norrath for the wii yet. or the ps3 or xbox360 :/
Vinay: yeah dude
i was thinking about that
the only thing that kinda headed in that direction
Chris: and by CoN i mean simply any game that fits the genre, 4 players with controllers sharing a co-operative hack-n-slash style campaign
Vinay: was untold legends
but that was shit
yeah bru
pisses me off that dos
there are no nice co-op games like that
on any platform
most fun i had in recent memory
was actually castle crashers
hmmm
i suppose the one game that kinda comes close and is decent
is marvel ultimate alliance
Chris: the worst thing is
every bloody game has some movie tie-in
puke
nothing makes me distrust a title faster than a movie tie in.
Vinay: yar
you know it
Chris: its like anti-advertizing.
u know
with the announcement of Diii
Vinay: DSi?
Chris: we have a dedicated dii server running at work now, for lunch time diablo sessions
Vinay: oh
oh that D 3
can't believe you are still on that game
are you happy with what you're seeing of D 3?
Chris: the screenshots are kieff
and
worringly almost
the new skill system looks very WoW derived.

Vinay: hmmm
i've not played a pc game in forever

but nothing substantial
Sent at 2:46 PM on Tuesday
Chris: didnt touch spore?\
Vinay: nope
don't have space at home for a proper pc set up
using laptops
i got a really small place
only really play games on wii, ds and sometimes psp
no more heroes on wii
was fucking awesome
one of the most memorable games i've ever played
sorry dude
wil catch up a bit later if you're still around
i'm starving
need some grub
bbs
-ish

Vinay: anything you've played on the wii that you enjoyed?
metroid 3 and mario galaxy were also awesome
Chris: gh:wt :P
Vinay: and laying resident evil4 now
which is good
i don't have space for GH :(
Chris: too much of wow to investigate
single player gaming on the wii
Vinay: lol
Chris: i played legend of zelda
which
put me off trying anything else supposedly signatire for the platform
as it was
whats the wrod...
word...
....
SHIT
Vinay: what?!!!!
i've played about 3 hours of it
really enjoyed it
and my brother is sitting at around 45 hours
is it because you're a graphics whore?
huh? huh?
Chris: no
its because i expected a game that would be somewhat more playable
Vinay: really?
i found it quite playable
and enjoyable
different strokes eh?
:)
Chris: i am a child of the diablo generation :P
1. the mapping of Wii-mote movements to attacks is just arbitrary.
you make a wanking motion and the guy does a spin attack for eg.
Vinay: hahahah
i thought it was kief
you calling me a wanker?
:D
Chris: i dont know - you spin attack a lot? :P
Vinay: lol
er ...
no comment
Chris: then
i found the entire adventure entirely linear
its just a confused game
not sure if its a puzzle game
or a fighting game
the result is
its neither.
Vinay: guess its just not your thing
i played zelda on the DS
and i loved it
thats what made me wanna play the wii version
but i had loads of other games
i'd started
and wanted to finish them first
so i parked it
and my brother has it now
think he's used his wii more than his ps3 :D
makes m so proud
Chris: just get a copy of wow already :P
Vinay: hahahahhaa
bru
i don't own my own life at the moment
Chris: you never need to spend more than $14 a month on gaming again :P
Vinay: last thing i want
is or what little is left of it
to be taken by WoW
Chris: turf all those other games
sell your consoles
and quit your heroin addiction
WoW calls you :P
Vinay: what?
quit heroin?
are you f**king crazy?
you can't survive london without that shit
Chris: try wow
you'll forget that shit like heroin even exists.
Vinay: i think heroin is healthier! hahahaha
Chris: possibly :P

Vinay: i can't believe that vettel got a penalty
they were both stupid in that accident
Chris: i dont think his self incrimination should be allowed
the marshals should resolve issues on the basis of the footage
Vinay: was that what caused it?
:-\
thts fucked
Sent at 3:38 PM on Tuesday
Chris: i think the footage clearly showed them both at fault. he was squeezed too much
Vinay: yeah ... thats what i thought
Chris: but he said in an interview or something "its my fault" I should have back'ed off"
hes a fucking racing driver
we hope and expect them to never back off.
if you squeeze a racing driver know that hes not going to give way like a wuss
know instead that you are both going off.
Vinay: yeah man ...
thats so stupid
Chris: get a reputation for being uncompromising
and no one will ever be so stupid as to give you too little room in a corner
Vinay: kubica was greedy
he was more focussed on 1st than 2nd
its good to have that hunger
Chris: geta reputation for balling "im so sorry, its my fucking fault" and find yourself routinely squeezed to the back of the grid
Vinay: but he complained that vettel was gonna lose that place anyway
but also you could argue
that if you were gonna get him eventually
why not play it safe
i like both of them
but they fucked the race up with that shit
Chris: everyone has to beat their chest
and provve that their dick is bigger.
Vinay: hahahaha
having said all that mate
fucking brawn gp
what a fairytale
i think that maybe
Chris: kubica
Vinay: fate just conspired to give them a 1, 2 finish
Chris: just displayed bad judgement
Vinay: even tho rubens was trying to do his best to fuck that up
lol
Chris: but he knows how this goes
blame the other guy
(uncompromising) and move on
and next time
Vinay: hahahahahha
yeah man
Chris: he will give a more realistic gap
Vinay: "the mclaren hit me"
check replay and mclaren was no where near him
hope brawn does not get fucked by the FIA
with that appeal
Chris: i think
if theres anthing to it
the FIA need to issue a clarification
but
as rubens pointed out
with a fucked up diffuser
hes car was still mustard
Vinay: lol
Chris: i dont think any of the teams violated the spirit of the regulations
such that that is
Brawn belive they conform
as such
Vinay: was sad about toyota
they did well
and got fucked
Chris: penalizing them should the rule require clarification would be arbitrary and unfair
i dont even remember what happened to toyota
frankly
Vinay: but the FIA is capable of shit like that
Chris: i partied hard on saturday
woke up early sunday morning with the makings of a hangover
turned on the tv
and
suddenly thought
i should go to the sport channels and see what time the race is
and found it 10 laps in
Vinay: hahahahhaha
my brother was out the night before as well
AND we had a time shift
so he lost an hour
Chris: i was just at home
Vinay: ended up with 3 hours sleep
Chris: making margueritas :P frozen
Vinay: ol
*lol
the missus was working that night
and my brother was out
so i just stayed home
smoked a fat joint
and chilled the fuck out
Sent at 3:53 PM on Tuesday
Vinay: ok bru
i'm going to space out now
will catch you again some time soon
Chris: gl with that :)
Vinay: maybe after the next race
lol
take it easy man
