Positive changes posited for Australian games classifications and a delightful package in the mail - it was a good day.

The big news for Australians today is a discussion paper released by the Law Reform Commission. This paper represents the beginning of the end of more than a decade of activism by consumers and industry figures to give adult gamers access to grown-up stories while keeping strong content away from minors. There's light at the end of the tunnel!

However, on a more personal note, a promo copy of Dark Souls arrived for me. It's not just a freebie - I do reviews on the side so I can buy myself pretty things, and I lucked out with a last minute commission. I've paid for a retail copy from the UK, so I can get all the goodies, but in the meantime, I can play right away, a few days before the rest of the world, and that makes me very, very happy.

Also: full of despair. LEAVE MORE NOTES, FELLOW REVIEWERS.

To that end, today's header image is from Demon's Souls, one of my favourite games. You know, it's not actually that hard - it's like a puzzle game. You've got to find the solution to the problem in front of you, that's all.That solution is never "charge".
