from Wikipedia

"The name Karrinyup was originally derived from the word Careniup, a Noongar name for a nearby swamp which apparently means "the place where bush kangaroos graze". "

The translation I heard was "Place of Bullrushes"!

Yes it's true! I live in a swamp! Which isn't too bad because a near-by suburb is called Innaloo, which is almost but not as bad as living in "Upper Swan"

Cheers!

Amazing.

I was in CBD all day, and didn't go in to one EB- normally I go in just to get depressed by the shrinking PC section.

Could have had my own Golden Ticket moment

When people from there are asked where they live do they reply "Innaloo"?

The actual joke that does the rounds is "Where would you rather live? Innaloo or Up-a Swan?"

cheers!

I went to two game shops (in Sweden) today. Neither of them had heard of CoD, though one shop found out they would be getting it in on Thursday. I was pretty sure they wouldn't have a clue about it, as with any Flight sim. I was a bit shocked that one would have on the shelf though, and so soon!

I was there out of curiosity.

My game won't be shipped from German Amazon until the week after it is on shelves here

Does the Aussie version have the ability to turn off the stupid epileptic filter??

Epileptcy Patch on the 30th should fix that according to Luthier

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=19644

Has anyone in picked up their collectors edition yet? Hopefully I'll get off work in about 6 hours and pick it up on the way home.

Will post pictures of the event.

cheers!

I usually avoid the use of internet acronyms. But this time, I truly lol'd.
