The obvious quote is the scene from Hal Hartley's "Trust", where Ed's head gets put in the vice after an argument about (unnamed IT company) deliberately using faulty parts.... only I can't remember the exact line, and I'm firewalled and can't find a script anywhere.:\ FML
PC/Amiga classic 'Cannon Fodder' was also recently ripped off (certainly from a look and feel perspective, and all reviews mention the likeness) as an iphone/itouch game Warpack Grunts - with no credit to the original coders on their website. Considering the original devs have their own mobile phone development company I doubt they would have allowed this, and I hope they have sicced their lawyers onto them. I doubt Apple look too closely for prior art and are more interested in counting the filthy lucre their Jesus phone is piling up at their feet.
Their 'viral' marketing campaign includes vandalism -- paste-ups or posters all over Melbourne. They look shit, it's obviously derivative, they're begging for some Streisand action, why not deliver them some. Leave the graf and posters to people with talent
TFA: Honeypot Road in Hackham? Locations don't get any more leet than that. (0_o)
They probably used Facebook because they wanted friends to help them unfuck the situation, and not get sprung by the authorities / parents. Guilt and shame are interesting motivators, and it's against the law to enter drains - but they're not caged off for logistic and safety reasons.
The CC encourage competent exploration of the urban environment, not this kind of shit. It doesn't look like it rained in Adelaide on Sunday night, but if they were panicking, this could have been worse.
The parents should sue... Eastman and Laird;)

Buy games from some online store... I could trade my pokemon http://www.eegra.com/comics/2009/04/80.jpg with other losers online... or play via bluetooth if it's fast enough... it would be awesome.
It'll never happen. *sigh*
Jerk City is the only place MSCS should ever be seen. It's a bit like the fridges at the CDC, a safe place to store nasty shit for research purposes -- and to see if it can be used as a weapon... for the uninitiated (or uninfected?) Jerk City is rendered in an old MS product, MS Comic Chat.
Golf is a waste of arable urban land. Food security is the new domestic security priority.
Come the Revolution, (or the 2010 Civil War that Russian economist was bragging about the other day) the first thing we do, let's plough all the golf courses.
Spokespippil from the British and French Navies are today denying that two of their submarines have formed a bizarre romantic relationship. The submarines were on separate exercises in the Atlantic Ocean, but managed to slip away from their surface vessel chaperones for a Beatles-esque underwater liaison. Nooone was hurt in the collision and both Britain and France insist nuclear security was not compromised. Defence experts believe neither vessel was sufficiently aroused to involuntarily discharge ICBM or torpedo munitions, IYKWIM, AITYD. They theorise that the water was too cold, and the submarines were frightened they would be caught. However, it is understood that the submarines still managed to spend a brief moment alone together, intimately fondling their conning towers and sonar arrays. HMS Vanguard and Le Triumphante have both updated social netwrok pages denying the incident.
Here in sunny southern Austria the entire train network in Melbourne is a steaming pile of shit - and it's high quality French shit too. Just search for 'connex' and have a look.
As a 'Guardian'- and 'New Yorker'-reading leftie hipster emopants, I knew that by playing this game I was participating in what some people would call a hate crime - but as far as design and playability are concerned it is no different to Commando, Cannon Fodder, and ethically it is no different to running around in the backyard as a 10-year-old pretending to kill 'Germans', 'Russians', 'VC' and so on. That this game got buried so quick and dismissed as dull etc missed the point. Games like this are a legitimate reaction to the 24/7 media saturation of the 'threat of terrorism'.
If anything there should be an iconoclast construction kit game - pick the faith (or cult) you wish to offend, uppload a few sprites, bob's your media outrage. Faith Fighter comes hilariously close - seeing God slip in the occasional headbutt and Mohammad (PBUH;) point at the sky and shout 'Allah ahuackbar!" is hilarious. See if you can unlock the end boss... you'll never guess who it is.
Ah! Sweet mystery of life
At last I've found thee
Ah! I know at last the secret of it all;
All the longing, seeking, striving, waiting, yearning
The burning hopes, the joy and idle tears that fall!
For 'tis love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
And 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye!
Love, and love alone, the world is seeking,
For 'tis love, and love alone, that can repay!
'Tis the answer, 'tis the end and all of living
For it is love alone that rules for aye...
