Account name is "kingmoll". Come play Left 4 Dead 2 with me. Or something else. Whatevs.

So Good Game did a review of the mod a week or so ago and it looks fucking epic. Here's a link if you've never heard of it: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/goodgame/video/default.htm?src=/tv/goodgame/video/xml/20120605_2030.xml&item=07 I'm getting a new computer the day after uni exams finish on the...

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/first-australian-indigenous-party-listed-20110110-19kur.html Why not just name it the "Racist Blackfella" party. People beat down Pauline Hanson on the grounds of being a racist, but then clap when the Aboriginals do the exact same thing. Turns out...

I'm curious as to what all of you think about the recent trend for governments to charge sin taxes on goods and services with negetive social outcomes. For example, there is a strong movement for a higher tax upon alcohol to cut down on binge-drinking, with the alcopops tax being one particular...

Doing the ECON2206 Introductory Econometrics project on regression models and I'm really confused by two question which seem to be asking the exact same thing: (6) Does the model in (1) provide a good explanation of median house prices ? Explain. (7) Does the model in (1) capture a causal...

Everyone's whinging about how NCAP has died, so let's fix it. "Capitalism and democracy aren't compatable because capitalism (namely corporate capitalism) is based upon 'one dollar; one vote' whereas true democracy is based upon 'one voice; one vote', which leads to a conflict of interest...

In a carry-on from a discussion with Emily, she seems to think they do exist. However, she also seems to think that the opinion of a male in judging the attractiveness of a fellow male is biased for some reason. I would beg to differ (in fact I would say quite the opposite), but that is...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v6lKPY1gAM So it looks like EA have taken a leaf out of Activision's book and realised that shooting terrorists is more fun than shooting Nazis. They've even done a combination of Big Military and Special Forces missions, just like with the SAS and Marines in...

Is anyone else shitting themselves about the future of the American economy? Their current economic growth is based almost purely upon short-term consumption, house prices continue their stagnant or negative growth and there is a growing divide between the rich and poor, such that many regions...

OK, so there appears to be a lot of confusion on this forum about timetables and the best way to have them. Below is a list of a few things about timetables which I learnt the hard way. Now, some of these may differ depending upon individual circumstances, especially if you don't do a basic...

It's that time of year again, and voting has opened today, so being the eager beaver I am, I voted as such: Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros - Home Kid Cudi - Pursuit of Happiness Brother Ali - Fresh Air Yeasayer - Ambling Alp Kid Sam - Down to the Cemetery Bloody Beetroots - Awesome Flobots...

I was listening to Triple J news earlier this morning and they were covering the government's proposed changes. The head of the Student Union then chipped in and it would appear that he and his cronies want youth allowance to be available to everyone who is studying, not just those from...

Need a job. Got bored of looking. Three years experience at a supermarket, 3 months at a call centre. Distinction-average in a Commerce/Economics double degree. No social life, so full availability. Preferably inner- or south-Sydney locations. No SP, not coming to work at north shore Baker's...

A better and more relevant question that BBJ's.

Does anyone know whether it's possible to do a regular uni course which counts towards total credits earned during the summer holidays as a third semester? Or four courses? Cos I want to get this degree over and done with. I just end up getting bored during the holidays. Thanks.

George Pell | AIDS | condoms I have to admit, he does have a point that slavish devotion to condoms as a be-all and end-all solution to HIV/AIDS is blatantly wrong. However, it is negligent and naive of him to suggest that complete abstinence is the only way out and is simple to obtain. Also...

Or does anyone else find it impossible to watch Asian porn? Whenever I see Asians in porn I keep thinking that they're just part of the lucrative East Asian sex slave industry and they're not willing participants. That there's some pimp off the side of the camera waiting for his "girls" to...

I was reading a TIME article a little while back and the author came up what I thought was a fantastic scheme for encouraging people to do more charity and community work. This is it, with an Australian spin: - We take the baby bonus (maybe increase it by a few thousand more) and rather than...

Am I the norm or the exception? Cos I was absolutely smashed my first time.

Was watching Boston Legal tonight and Alan mentioned in his closing argument that America (and Australia) are democracies, not meritocracies. It got me thinking: Is that really such a good thing? Personally I think no. As an arrogant and conceited intellectual elitist I have a few very subtle...
