You were the sort of salesperson that bullied weak-willed people into purchases of things/services they didn't need, weren't you.

The worst queues in the North America list are the Unofficial Australian servers - Swiftsure, Harbinger and Jekk'Jekk Tar. It's frustrating, sure (After 2 hours queueing today, my modem died, and when i pulled out my back up it was back to the end of the queue), but it's something we brought on ourselves.

I think I just expect Nolan North in every game. And to be slightly racist, as an Aussie I have a hard time picking apart certain American accents ;)

"Metal Gear" isn't a genre - sure, the previous games defined a genre, but the only thing a Metal Gear really needs is, well, a Metal Gear; and Raiden slicing up the RAY proved they were definately in there.

Hey guys, it's Nolan North! In a Naughty Dog game! I want a Crash Bandicoot game with Nolan voicing Crash, now.

Actually, his phone reasoning is relevant because of the MASSIVE sales of Infinity Blade I & II. I would classify myself as a hardcore gamer, and IB2 was one of my big games of the holiday season, right up there with Skyrim and Battlefield 3.

My guess is that iPhone is used as a synonym for 'smartphone', as it is in a lot of countries now.

I don't know whether it will actually happen or not, but I like the idea of the next Xbox being a platform rather than a specific console; there is already rumoured Xbox compatibility in Windows 8. The next console could possibly be like Windows Phone; have a predetermined hardware profile (as dictated by Microsoft)…

I understand that thanks to JRPGs and recent BioWare games, there are a lot of people out there who don't get the wonder of Skyrim...why I have as much fun searching for berries on a snowy mountainside as delving into a huge dungeon for gold and loot.

**SPOILER ALERT**

Cute, loyal, slobbery and underappreciated?

I still don't see the point of release dates, to be honest. If a store has stock, why shouldn't they sell it?

I feel bad when I have to kill the attack dogs in Call of Duty, but have no qualms gunning down their masters. It's not just games though - I can watch movies like Saw without flinching (except at the acting in the sequels), but a dead pet in a movie is enough to make me tear up/close my eyes.

It contains the Uncharted 3 Special Edition, in a freaking treasure chest that can hold 19 ps3 games. It also comes with a statue of Drake, and a replica of his ring and belt buckle. At AU$200 it's the most expensive special edition I've ever bought, but opening it today convinced me it was with every penny.

Puck Man has an epic nose. There's no way you could chuck a bow on that and call is Ms. Puck Man.

A surprising amount of time making AAA games goes to creating art assets and set pieces...a small team could use the art and set pieces already created for the Syndicate/XCOM remakes, and use them in their own game. Hell, you could probably even use the same game engine with a few tweaks.

Luke, you're not alone - fellow Aussie here, and I just picked up pretty much the same rig, only with dual 560 Ti's...and although I justified it a million ways, it was for Battlefield 3. Now i'm just counting down the days until EB ships my copy to me our here in Longreach.

Unless there was an announcement for an Australian launch, it's not global yet. That said, I've got my NA preorder sitting in Origin.

What doesn't make sense is that the Xbox 360 code for ANY game should be easily portable to Windows, considering it's based on the same architecture. Granted, i'm not a console game developer, but when you're working with the same technology (DirectX in this case - and correct me if i'm wrong, but I think the 360 is…
