[PODCAST] Get your AWESOMEcast fix right here!

For this edition of the GTAL AWESOMEcast, Jiggsy2point0, Tinmut, Jeffois and Robeywan got together to talk the usual food, games, more, including the upcoming SciFi Channel (Australia) Doctor Who Tweetup/Clustr Launch and Insert Coin(s) in Sydney

 I won't lie to you, this edition was a little bit more... off-colour than the previous one, but that's just how these things go sometimes... I'm still not entirely sure why we kept finding ourselves referring to Red Dead Redemption, either...

More importantly though, we have a name! Thanks to AnchormanMazda, this podcast will now be known as the AWESOMEcast! Thank you to everyone for their suggestions! As always, if there's something you want us to cover, let us know in the comments, tweet us, or on our Facebook page!

R18AU. A Gamer's perspective.



We still don't have an R18+ rating in place for Video games in Australia. It's an industry responsible for around $1.3B annually, and home to some awesome developer studios (Played de Blob? Fruit Ninja? Yeah... made here.), but we're stuck using an antiquated system of classification... I've been wanting to have a rant about this for a while, so i'll warn you. I'm gonna let it all spill out onto the keyboard. I've (hopefully) been careful not to lay the blame on anyone too... I merely want to show how broken our system is.

I'm a Australian Gamer... and I support R18+AU.
