ANd thats kinda the point... it DIDNT spend more time in the works, it was an awesome concept though, so I am keenly awaiting Red Steel 2.
Woo Red Steel 2 FTW!!:cornut:
But why did you trade in Red Steel, whY?

Anyhoo starting to get good at GH:III on Hard tat fith note is really hard to get used too and its really annoying when it throws one orange note in the midst of a red-green-Yellow line, just makes it impossible to get perfect :(

How hard are Wiis to get in Australia? I am planning on buying one this weekend. Should i be able to rock up to my local shopping centre and find one in either GAME, EB, K-Mart, Big W or Target?
 
Aidan, you should be fine in finding one there's usually a couple in all the stores down at my local shopping centre, it might depend where you live but you should be right to rock up to the shopping centre to get one.
 
Maroubra, Sydney. Not that far from the CBD. I guess I should be fine. I could always check out Bondi Junction if I couldn't find one a bit closer.

I got my Wii at launch, so I'm not sure of the situation with shortages etc. The only advice I can offer is to phone ahead - saves a lot of time. You should be able to find one somewhere.

Edit: Speed is clearly not my strong point.
 
Yeah you should definalty be able to find one where you are its not exactly in the middle of nowhere or anything.

Nor is it mine but here we are
 
I phoned up GAME at Eastgardens as they are open til midnight tonight with the Xmas shopping. They have 12 in stock so I will go in and grab one tomorrow.

:D
 
I just had the worse night of my life! I won't bore everyone with the details. As I doubt WiiChat would allow the language I'd have to use to explain it. Lets just say I hate my father now. And it also involved storming out of dinner at the RSL club, and getting rained on. Oh, and the F word got thrown around alot.

I can't even say anything on topic.
 
Ahhh I want the details...
Just came back from the shops, Chronicles in hand with two Zappers. Most fun multiplayer experience in a while, the Zappers work/feel fine, ignore what the haters say. Chronicles rocks two player, I can see single player being a LOT less fun though.
BTW, I traded in Red Steel as I was kinda broke at the time, and MOH just came out so I just went for that. Played a lote better, didnt seem quite as fun as I remembered Red Steel being.

Indeed it was me! Guitar Hero 3 review this week, fantastic stuff again Yahtzee! I have rewatched them all sooooo many times.

I might be getting RE:UC and the zapper for christmas, I'm just not sure yet, I gave the parentals a list and they were on it, we shall see what they choose!

Sorry to hear about your bung night Eki :(

I think off to sleep for me now! It's 12:06am and I have to start work at 9:30am and I will finish at 7:30pm, yay for money!
 
I am checking out the link.

And for some reason I'm not getting the e-mails saying people have replied here. But no matter, I can handle checking here myself.

Anyway, last night before I went to bed I launched a lengthy e-mail at one of my friends that ranted about the night I had and everything. So, when they decide to actually log in they are totally in for it. However I shall try and quickly recap what happened.

My family and I - including, Mum, Dad, Brother, Me, Dads Sister, Dads parents. And yes, it matters who the relatives belong too, otherwise I'd just call them Aunt and Grandparents. Anyhoo, we went out for dinner at the Bowling Club. Because whenever we go out to dinner with these people we ALWAYS have to go to a club, no matter how many times I request a change!

Anyhoo, they had Asian buffet dinner. Now, I hate buffet dinner. I've never EVER liked them. EVER. And the Asian food being served just looked horrid. Anyhoo, I said I really couldn't eat anything (Mum said she wouldn't have either). So, SOMEONE else requested we go to the RSL Club (Another Club!!!) Everyone was cool to go. We get down there, Dad's Sister decides she can't eat anything there and starts going off! Like fully going off - showing exactly why she was arrested for harrassment and assault a few months ago (or whatever exactly the arrest was). The worst part - Dad LET her. He didn't even say 'calm down' or whatever. He just let this 50+ woman scream and make a scene in PUBLIC. The woman also ripped into my Mum while she was at it. The woman then left.

Anyway, I left the table then - not wanting to be around Dad. Later I came back though. Silence. Someone commented on silence, and Dad started up again. He turned around and said 'F--king Jenna' and I didn't hear the rest, I wasn't hanging around to hear anymore of it, not after that introduction. I left my bag at the table, so I had to go back for it. When Dads Mother insulted Mum, saying something like 'This is all your fault. You are never happy with anything, you're just F--king jealous of us!' Mum had then had enough, and we both stormed home. It was about 2 and a bit km, and we ranted and raved all the way home. Oh, and for the last stretch we got rained on!

Dad come home later - angry, and started AGAIN! Me and Dad got into a screaming match. I was sitting on the lounge and he was standing over me saying 'you little b!tch' and things like that. Like I said before, the F word got thrown around a lot. I got told to get out of his 'f--king house'. Ah, all this crap.

He's just impossible to live with at the moment - he's ALWAYS cranky. Nothing is EVER good enough for him. NOTHING. He thinks my brother doesn't like his job and wants to quit - and he certainly doesn't want too. God knows where Dad even got that one from. He's always fighting with my other brother (he was smart and said he couldn't come!) And apparently I don't give him any affection! I don't give ANYONE affection! Does he think he's different or something?! And what the hell does he actually want me to do? Dad and I hardly ever fight - sure we have our times, but nothing ever like this. For instance I've never told my father to 'f--k off' before. It's never come to that. Put it this way, we generally always get along. Yet somehow I'm the little b!tch that is never kind and always has hated or something. So, anyway according to my father the disasterous night was ALL my fault. It was in noway his sisters fault for screaming at yelling, and effectively starting all the fighting. It was in no way HIS fault for continuing it, and generally being in a **** mood for the last week, and it was in NO WAY his mothers fault for what she said to my mother. No, of course not - MY FAULT.

Explain to me this - Dads Sister couldn't eat at the RSL. I couldn't eat at the Bowling Club. How is that different? Yet, I was expected to stay down the Bowlo (after the fact, of course) and eat nothing! Dads sister, however, no, she can storm home if she wants. And the thing is, there was plenty of the menu she could have eaten - because she's eaten there plenty of times before! She just didn't WANT to be there. She said as soon as she got there she'd had a bad day, and she wanted an early night. As we were leaving the Bowling Club - I told Mum she should have said she didn't want to eat their either, so it wasn't just me. But she said she'd had enough of getting blamed for stuff today, and it was my turn. Now, I really really wish she had said something. BTW - My brother and Dad hasn't actually LOOKED at the Asian buffet, had they looked they might have understood why I didn't want to eat anything.

Anyway, it doesn't matter. I am NEVER going out with ANY of them again. Ever.

... Well, I'll go out with MY Mother. Just not my grandparents, Dads sister, or Dad ever again.

Anyway, I am the only one home at the moment. So I'm alright now.

EDIT - Did I say quickly recap?
