Wild to be gaming in Australia. Playing with the chinese and africans
I'm in Perth where this cable will go. We do occasionally play with Chinese players it's happened in a few games not a lot though. It's mostly SEA players. WA is in this weird spot for gaming because all of the game companies put there servers in melb or sydney and we get shafted on ping. Because of the time difference if you play late at night and there aren't enough players you often get pushed to SEA servers. We get a lot of Indos and Singaporeans on our servers too. Will be interesting to see if we end up playing with more Saffas.
There isn't one already?
Shit do i finally get better internet. Or is that reserved for the corporations?
Alt. headline: Uncle Sam ropes in Australia and Google in latest China African containment initiative
Ropes I Austriali? Our tongue is stuck so far up Uncle Sam's arsehole we can taste their coffee before they do.
What's next, a cable from Batswana to Brazil?
Probably not. Too much alliteration. There is one from Angola to Brazil though!
