General Chat / Steam will now be in NZ Dollars.
« on: March 19, 2015, 10:20:36 am »
Got this email this morning:
Quote
Dear Steam User,
Steam will soon be priced in New Zealand Dollar!
If your Steam wallet has any money in it on March 24th, 2015, your U.S. Dollar balance will be converted to New Zealand Dollar, at a conversion rate dictated by market value at the time of conversion.
To view your account balance, simply log into your Steam client or the Steam website at http://www.steampowered.com. Once you have logged in, you will see your balance in the upper-right corner next to your account name.
Thanks,
The Steam Support Team
http://support.steampowered.com


Also in other possibly related news, Steam now acknowledges it's rights and responsabilities under the CGA.
http://www.gameplanet.co.nz/news/g5508c90d8aeb1/Steam-adds-refund-clause-for-New-Zealand-subscribers/

I wonder if these things are the death knell of content that is banned in NZ being available on steam here, like Postal 2, and a forerunner of Steam honouring NZOFLC ratings (i.e. requiring proof of age for R16 games like TF2). Possibly interesting times ahead.

Other Games / Steam Greenlight hits a new low

Quite possibly the most inappropriate game ever. I mean what the actual fuck.

You know it's bad when the number one steam community discussion thread on it is titled "Is this even legal?"

General Chat / Head on collisions hurt.
« on: December 22, 2014, 11:21:39 pm »
So this happened on Friday arvo..

Open road head on collision, caused by a french tourist (silver car) driving on the wrong side of the road. Luckily at around 80km rather than 100km because of twisty bits. Everyone walked away amazingly, my dad (driving the Surf) got away with scratches and some minor bruising, mum got heavier bruising, and being in the back with no airbag I copped it the worst. Pretty amazing bruising and possibly a broken rib (xray didnt show anything obvious but apparently that's not uncommon.. hurts like a cunt either way) Frenchie broke his arm, and his wife banged up her knee. Dad had time to swear, move his foot towards the brake (we know this only because the accelerator is pushed up and pinned under the dash and if his foot was on it he'd have been trapped/broken), and we think both parties started to swerve as the collision wasn't quite full head on in the end as you can see. Cars started to spin but our back end hit the wall and stopped it. Truly scary shit.

I vaguely look like someone kicked the shit out of me, seat belts do save lives but they don't fucking tell you how much it hurts you when you go from 80km to a complete stop like that. Deep breaths hurt, laughing hurts, coughing hurts, sneezing hurts, moving the wrong way hurts.. you get the idea :-)  Still I'm remarkably glad to be alive and posting this, sadly luck didn't carry over to Saturday nights lotto draw.



Attached pics show the gouges in the road from their car's front suspension bottoming out at point of impact (bout 8-10 inches long and 5-6cm deep), being the heavier vehicle we shunted them back 1-2 meters from the impact point.

Also a pic showing a couple of the service vehicles (we ended up with 1 cop car, 1 rural fire van, 2 fire engines and 2 ambulances)

And a couple from the tow yard showing the crumpling around the drivers seat and the accelerator pedal mushed up into the dash.

So, any of you make out like bandits with this?

Between crafting all my old junk, and well timed mass purchasing of other junk, I made about USD$85 crafting and selling gems in the last few days.

Gonna help fund the old steam sale splurge for sure :-)

Planes, Trains & Automobiles / Webjet.co.nz are a ripoff
« on: October 25, 2014, 05:20:56 pm »
So I thought I'd use webjet.co.nz to book some flights home, and feeling pretty ragey.

Ripoff bastards charged me $20 in hidden fees, nothing obvious to say they were charging fees over and above the cost of the airfares.

Will never ever use Webjet again, and just thought I'd share so no-one else makes the same mistake. Total pack of thieving cunts.

I'm way too poor to buy one, but I know quite a few of you have been hanging out for these.

I may need to sell some children into slavery if they are as good as they potentially could be.

Bug Reports & Feedback / Cant "spoiler" attachments
« on: August 11, 2014, 02:56:55 pm »
You can't wrap attached images within Spoiler tags, need the ability to do so, or a tick box on the attachment to allow it to be hidden/spoilered.

General Chat / Why consoles need to be driven out of the market.
« on: June 26, 2014, 01:04:09 pm »
http://whatifgaming.com/the-division-developer-insider-we-already-downgraded-a-few-things

Console players are already responsible for the drop in the quality of PC games, because the studios release cross platform and everything has to be dumbed down for the people too stupid to use a computer. Now it's gone beyond just gameplay and is spreading to graphics quality too. Hot on the heels of Watch Dogs PC graphics being nerfed, yet another game will be dropping it's quality, because console manufacturers are whining it looks "too good" on a PC.
