Anywhere but Sydney.
It's not the spiders you have to watch out for, but the drinking water and the people.
God, the English.
If a politician called me bigoted I'd take it as the biggest compliment ever.
WOW! I. LOVE. IT!
When in Axe Mode you move faster than you do when you are holding The Sword and The Lance and you can swing, swing, swing away...
Then, when you switch to Sword Mode you slow a bit --BUT-- the Sword has a metered Elemental Effect added to it!
Watch them Jaggis fly!
SOOO. COOL!
Like I said, I wasn't going to play anymore tonight --BUT-- I needed ONE more simple bone to get the Switch Axe!
As it turns out, I picked the MOST delicate, time-consuming, lengthy Quest I possibly could have at that moment.
There's one Quest where you have to gently, carefully Transport Herbivore Eggs from one section of a Desert/Snow area to your home base. Paths are randomly blocked off as you try to carry each, single egg home --AND-- of course, you have Jaggis, Jaggia, Melynxes and a few other Monsters (a few of which tend to charge straight at you) in your way! One little bump: Oops! You dropped your egg! Crack! Start over!
I got my Bone, defeated a number of Monsters, completing a Sub-Quest --AND-- got the two Eggs (after scrambling several of them) FINALLY after a good hour of play!
The Axe was WELL worth it!
Quests like this one sound like they may be tedious, but so far EACH and EVERY Quest has been diverse and, above all, F-U-N ! ! !
This game is quite literally Capcom at their best!
i think the single fact that you even have the desire to play anything other that SSFIV at this given moment is the biggest advertisement this game could get.
in fact i'm going to start playing it today because of this and hopefully we can hunt together before long

can't say anything on sydney but it seems like a fun place.
as for london you can have privacy plenty. the phrase "alone in a crowd" describes most of my time in london, which I imagine must be true for most cities of that scale or comparable. london is great fun, it should have something for everyones whatever it is you're looking for. commuting is very tiring though as you have to spend a very long time on tubes and buses to get anywhere. it's also quite expensive, especially to go out

I could play Street Fighter exclusively right now, If I wanted to, and would be perfectly content to do so...
--BUT--
Games like Monster Hunter (Basically PSO-like games) are so few and far between and so in depth and diverse... There's just sooo much to them, that I always get totally gripped by them when they come along.
Don't get me wrong, I have been playing SSFIV also, but in shorter bursts, mainly cause learning to use a stick is a tiny bit frustrating for me --AND-- it is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I just wanna get some quality time in with MH before my vacation time ends and I can't sit still for more than 15 minutes at a time.
Long story short: Street Fighter is always the Right game for me, but I want to play Monster Hunter right now.
YAY!
I'm in Australia and spent a month living in downtown Sydney, so I'll give you my perspective. Sydney is a nice city, kind of like Seattle but with nice weather. It's got pretty much everything you could want, and I found nothing to complain about while I was there. There was a little bit of snobbery.
Outside of the big cities (Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney) Australia is pretty much all white people. They are not socially conservative or religious, but they have a lot of cultural blindspots. In Sydney and Brisbane it's totally mixed though and I am sure it is that way, if not moreso in Melbourne, as from what I can tell it is the cultural capital of the country and very diverse.
The quality of life in Australia is very high, and the population is well educated compared to the US. Though everything seems a little less consequential if you are politically inclined.
I'd love to visit Australia one day, but...
(No seriously, I'm scared of spiders!)

Geek usually get on about 3 hours from the time of this post, no doubt he could tell you all about London.
-- oh yeah and Geek I finally heard what that woman told Brown -- she was a bigot.
She basically said "What about immigration? There are a lot of Eastern Europeans coming here."
Which is true, since Poland joined the EU and all that. EU member states citizens are supossed to have freedom of movement to work and such so we saw a relative flood of EE people coming to the UK to work for a fair number of years. Though recently with the bad economy those figures have been reversed somewhat, returning to their member states.
She's a northerner though and a pensioner, so they usually have less tasteful views on immigration. But that's stereotyping. On the one hand I find what she said to be somewhat bigoted, on the other hand I don't think talking about immigration should be some sort of taboo. And this comes from a son of immigrants.
Go to Sydney. Nice weather, lots of nice asian food. Blonde women. London may be exciting if you haven't grown up in a major city, lots of sights to see. Great for tourists I suppose, miserable for everyone else.
Avoid south and east london as much as possible due to crime.
Updating now. How awesome is this?

I'd like to play this game again to see how my opinion of it has changed, or not, since 2003. However I can't even find time to play most new stuff, and I don't own the game anymore anyway. So I guess I'll wait until its either re-released on the Wii or as a download in the future.
Hey sorry I haven't been posting lately guys, though I doubt anyone has missed me. Just not much time to spend posting right now between work and the girlfriend and family stuff.
I did play through Mass Effect 2 recently, and totally loved it. It totally sucked me into it and I put about 80 hours in before finishing it. Not sure if I liked it more than the original but it was at least even with it. The interesting thing was that it was quite a bit different than the original, yet just as good and maybe even better in some ways.
I really dug how the missions were set up almost like levels in a FPS, and they had the same kind of hectic feel to them. I thought that would make the game too un-rpg like, but actually it was brilliant.
They also really improved the engine and got rid of the pop-in, which was nice. And the production values were awesome. Another Bioware classic. They may be my favorite developer out there right now, honestly.
HaaAAaaaaY! Wut Dat serpposed to meen?
I noticed you were missing. I assumed you had just left to post on GS instead. Nice to see you. Steel and Archie have tons of impressions in the Mass Effect 2 thread.
