Topic: My hands on with the Wii U experience

Magic the Gathering U.

It HAS to happen. Or at the very least Pokemon Card Game U.

Say, isn't Parkway Drive from there?
Edit: NVM, I'm thinking of Byron Bay. But yeah, "say".

I pity anyone who says.

Unnamed sources are always 100% accurate and you know as well as I do that your scenarios aren't going to pan out that way. Windows 8 having strong touch screen support does not mean it will deliver a Wii U like experience. There are certainly no off the shelf wireless controllers combined with touch screens currently that have anything remotely close to PC support. The Kinect itself is more likely to get support in PC games in the medium term.

The Wii U hardware offers something different for gaming that can't be done on the PC yet. The rumoured PS4/720 may offer something different but that rumoured difference will likely be ignored for everything but party games. The compelling reason to buy them over a last gen console from a gamer perspective is purely in the extra horsepower which a mid-range PC already beats. If I get one eventually it'll be purely for the exclusives not a different experience that the hardware might offer with cross platform titles.

@Whiteknight, @Skywake

We're going to @MadAussieBloke's house to play games

This review was nice. But it sounded like it came from somebody that expects way too much out of things.

@ChunkyDroid The back fridge is full of Crownies and I need some help polishing them off we can watch the Cricket on one TV and do a massive gamathon on the other while posting troll comments on the lappy

All, by, myself...

I don't think you can get much more Australian than this comment.

@Avi I will even allow GaGa on the stereo with the sub at maximum

You should already be doing that anyway.

I have already had the cops at my door twice for the old maximum velocity but I think I can allow it again just for @Avi

LOL makes me proud to be an AUSSIE

Aussie Vader could take Darth in a fight any day of the week and have enough time to slam down a VB and polish off a Vegemite sandwitch.

His TIE Fighter is actually a Kangaroo.

His death star, a dropbear.

Yeah, nah. You guys are over East right? Bugger that ey, I'm all the way over here in dullsville. Be cheaper for me to go to Bali

Where in Adelaide are you? It's my home town

I currently live in a small suburb next to Norwood.
It's great to see people actually know what Adelaide is, because I just went on holiday to America, and a lot of people asked us if we were from Australia. We'd say yes. They'd say "Are you from Sydney?" . we'd sigh. Then we'd say "no, we're from a city called Adelaide" .The American would then says that he has never heard of Adelaide.

Why does everyone think we only live in Sydney in Australia?

Because Sydney is the most visible city in Australia from overseas. You either see Sydney or the outback in advertising, so I don't think it's a case of people thinking everybody lives in Sydney, it's just that that's the only city they can name in Australia. Don't worry, I've given up of telling people I'm from Adelaide - I've been met with too many blank stares to bother telling more people!

Nice spot where you're living! I was in Norwood for a while - a block back from the Parade, which was nice - and moved up to Kensington Gardens after that (just off Magill Road) for a couple of years. My wife and I then moved back to Maylands - again just off Magill Rd. - for a little while so I know the area pretty well. I'm hoping we might be able to buy a house in that general area once we get back to Adelaide.
