Could it be this topic?

The OP of that thread complains about phones in a lot of other topics as well, so he might at least be the OP of the topic you are looking for.

A week ago? I'm waiting for him to respond to my reviews since May 2008. ;)

Lol :p When he was still active I believe you could count on a response like .. the day after you reviewed one of his flashes. But I guess it's best not to bother with Afro_Studs flashes then. 160 responses out of 825 reviews isn't a very pretty response rate.

By the way, plus one response thanks to Bahamut =)

Well, you've started well, with one more review for a Bahamut flash - now just concentrate on getting 1 a day for the next 2 weeks and you'll be there with us. It's easy to get responses, even if you're not a massive reviewer.
I know that RebeccaRose is an alt, but some of the main accounts here have really high response rates (You know, ones that put my approximate 60% to shame), so you'll be up there as well.

I see a lot of those main accounts with high response rates are members of the review request club. I could perhaps check out a few of the request there as well and see which authors respond a lot.

According to NG Log it's a little higher actually. My current response rate is 30.34%. Also I would have 174/538 (if Bahamut will respond) and that would give 32.34%. That looks like a decent percentage to me and close to how high it used to be.

Anyway some time ago the idea crossed my mind to review all of afro studs hitler series. The problem is that I don't believe he responds that much anymore. Two of the reviews that I wrote about a week ago seem to have gotten ignored. Too bad because if I actually would have reviewed all those series I could have gained 300 reviews. With those I would jump right into the top 100 reviewers and top 100 responses.

So I guess I'll just have to stick to Bahamut's flashes. I'll try to go with that one a day pace you suggested and see where that gets me.

Yeah, well it doesn't help that I had to skip updating twice in a row because of point system problems. Meaning you probably would've had a closer chance at the list if I figured out the problem sooner.

Yea 900 points isn't that much considering how many games have come out in the last three week. There's also a gap of 6005 points between me and the 50th place, which means there's a lot of medals that the 50th person does not have, I'm sure you can manage to get a lot of easy medals and climb the ladder. It'd be 6055 if I had enough time to get the Freeman medal.

I know. I'm trying to get those easy ones as well and if I really like the game I'll try to obtain all of them. The problem is that there are just so many games that have medals that are a real bitch to get. Also I don't like how a lot of medal games require you to play the game four or five times over before you can get all of them.

Nice that I gained another rank. My pace also turned out to be alright luckily. I remember I was well under 20 a day on Wednesday. Anyway now there is a 1500 point gap between me and Patcoola and his pace is pretty good. So I guess I'll stay on the 45th spot for the rest of the year.

Thanks for another good update Bahamut.

Thanks for the update HoS.

I missed The Usual Suspects yesterday. I tuned in about half an hour too late and therefore didn't feel like watching it anymore. I think I'll just buy the DVD sometime.

I mostly hear bad things about RCT3 and from the looks of it, it's a good thing I'm giving it a miss.

Good idea. You won't miss much.

That's odd. I always thought the intensity ratings had everything to do with vertical and horizontal G's and it seems your coaster must have high ratings on those.

Read it and weep.

Lol 5.72 maximum positive vertical G's. Just a few more and it would have been a good test for air force pilots :p

I still find it weird that it gives such a relatively low intensity rating. Perhaps Ronald is right about the harsh turns and such and maybe the lateral G's are the most important ones.

The Usual Suspects is gonna be on TV tonight. Another movie that I've wanted to watch for some time, but I'm not really in a film watching mood right now.

I'm not sure who to believe anymore. First I heard loads of complaints from people how it sucked badly and how it ruined the vampire mythology. Now I suddenly hear loads of people saying that it was alright and see newspapers writing about what a big hit it is in America etc. Heck I even heard 'trend-watchers' saying that vampire looks are gonna be a new big hype everywhere =/

I guess it's about time that I watch it myself. I doubt that I'm gonna like it though. A teenage romance story with vampires doesn't sound very appealing to me.

Crap. Once again my computer has crashed and once again I lost pretty much everything that was on it. Not that it was anything of great importance, but it's still rather annoying to lose several gigs of music, pictures and other files. On top of that I gotta reinstall like a dozen of programs again.

That's like my best friend's sister - she had about 6 hours a week of lectures during the entire first year. When I was at Uni, I had 40-45 hour weeks, that started at 7am daily, otherwise I'd miss the bus >:(

Normally it's similar here. The last couple of periods I had 32-36 hour weeks while the max study time per week was supposed to be 40 hours. The number of hours you missed with the lectures you had to compensate with doing homework until it adds up to 40. The only problem with that idea/system is that the more hours of lectures you have, the more homework you usually have =/ Thus I would always go well over those 40 hours if I actually did my homework.

Anyway now I still got 16 hour weeks, but to be honest I skip quite a lot of lectures :p

Goddamnit! I lost my FF6 save file! I had about 30 hours of gameplay in that game and was getting very near the end. Actually I just needed to collect the last few espers before I went to Kefka's Tower.

Crap.

Seriously? I found RCT3 really really easy.

\/

I can't remember that well, but for some reason my money always started to deplete rapidly somewhere in the second year. I don't know what always caused that, maybe I just kept my ticket prices too low or my personnels salary too high. Anyway the strategy I always used in RTC1 never worked for me.

I just reached 54,000 BP!

I know how it should work, but the thing is: Whenever I tried to save and restart the game the save file was simply gone. I have no idea what the problem could be.

At 11/18/09 05:36 PM, Bahamut wrote: Yep, that's what Loopy Landscapes had along with the same type of scenario objectives as the previous sets. However, those type of scenarios had infinite money and only had funding fixed to normal rather than maximum, so there was no control over what type of rides/attractions you wanted, thus taking longer to get new stuff or even anything worth using. It took me 7 game-time years to beat Arid Heights because of this.

Another similar objective for the scenarios in Loopy Landscapes was beating it with a certain amount of different roller coasters with a high excitement rating. Razor Rocks is one of my favourite levels out of the whole of RCT1 where you need to build 10 different roller coasters with an excitement rating of at least 6.00. The park gave you more than enough space to build these rides. Infact, I loved this level so much that one save I had ages ago went as far as 20 years!

That sounds kinda fun. I remember my furthest save was for the last desert level where I went to year 15 or so.

Anyway I remember RCT3 had something like you could earn a bronze silver and gold award. You could get these by meeting certain requirements and once you did you immediately got the award. Then you unlocked new scenario's or other stuff and you could play on to earn the next award.

RCT3 had some other interesting features as well (loved to build firework shows), but all in all I think that version was a bit too complicated. Also it was very difficult to keep your head above the water. I actually never managed to get past year 2 without cheating =/

Lol at that vertical coaster xD

Indeed, the Oblivion at Alton Towers is puny in comparison to it. Amazingly enough, any vertical roller coasters with a similar design to that will have an intensity rating of around 8.50 - 9.50 and not ultra extreme as I originally predicted.

That's odd. I always thought the intensity ratings had everything to do with vertical and horizontal G's and it seems your coaster must have high ratings on those.

I gave up on building those as well. No matter how well you design that ride, they always crash over time. No way to prevent it.

I'm not sure where you can not see medals. If you can't see medals on the submissions pages, that might be caused by the fact that you are viewing NG in the classic lay-out. You'll have to switch to the new lay-out if you wanna see them.

Yeah I got some tips:
A) I would not get the sinking lure because the fisherman is gonna bitch about it and I believe he's not gonna give you anything if you break the record with a fish you caught with the sinking lure.
B) The biggest fish in the pond swims at the center, but I believe there is only one specific moment where you get a chance to catch him (with a normal lure). I'm not sure when that is, so you're gonna have to search for a FAQ if you want to know. That fish weights 22 pounds I believe.
C) The second largest fish I could ever find is much easier to locate and catch. He swims on the left side of the pond where there is this large branch or something sticking out of the water. He weights about 20 pounds or so.
D) The third largest fish I could find is even easier to catch. He swims on the right side of the pond near the small river. There are two pillar-like things sticking out of the water with two fishes near them. One weights 16 pounds, the other 12 pounds. You gotta be a bit careful because the 12 pound-fish is more eager to bite and that will scare the other one.

The 16 pound-fish should already be enough to get you a golden scale.

I watched snatch. last night. I thought it was a very enjoyable movie with some very funny scenes. I especially loved the scene with the black guys trying to rob the betting office and the scene with the three cars :p

I've seen quite a few, but not all of them. Still got Burn After Reading here on my shelf, I plan to watch it pretty soon. I would also love to see that new movie.

That movie is amazing and so are most of Miyazaki's movies, but it looks like he's the only Japanese animator the Academy Awards have given any attention. There have been a few Japanese animated films over the years that were never even nominated that definitely at least deserved consideration for best animated film or best foreign film. All they care about is Ghibli stuff. It's pathetic. I was mad when Tekkon Kinkreet got ignored. fucking bullshit. And I don't think they've recognized Satoshi Kon or Kazuhiro Otomo for anything they've ever done. If only people could forget what they think they know about animation, especially Japanese.

Yeah it doesn't seem like anime does that well in Hollywood. Like I said I'm not such a big fan of it myself, but I've heard of a few anime movies and series of which the story seemed very interesting to me.

Anyway, I guess I'll check Spirited Away out then someday.

At the top of the page you'll see a menu with Extra. At the bottom of the drop down menu you'll see Options. Click on it and a screen will pop-up. Somewhere halfway it should say enable cookies (or something similar).

Oh crap. It looks like I forgot to check the last page. Sorry for the double post...

Yeah, I was also happy with the Bahamut special episode, even though it was just another single frame flash. And yes, Afro_Stud didn't put the effort into animating at all. It's a shame since he did draw some good character models one time but never put them to good use.

The only one I know is that Afrostar that sometimes appeared in your flashes. Or is that not his creation? :p

Some nice submissions there, but nothing too amazing. Armored Prophet was alright in my opinion, but could be beaten quickly and easily if you wanted to.

Fly Squirrel Fly seemed alright at first, but upgrades started to become way too expensive and I had a feeling I was stuck at the same distances for a long time.

In the end I think I liked the Kirby submission most actually. It was short and sweet.

It got a lot of complaints about how the controls worked pretty bad and that kinda stuff. It seemed alright when I played it a few hours ago though. And it's current score seems fair to me.

The only problems I have with it are:
A) The screen is way too big. Gotta scroll down and up all the time if I want to see medals/vote/review/see author info etc. It's ugly and annoying.

B) While PsychoGoldfish claimed that only 0.1% of the NG users still use the older lay-out, I think he forgets the fact that people were automatically switched at first. And the amount of people who are active daily is probably pretty close to that 0.1% of the ±1.8 million accounts. In other words I think a lot of the regular users actually prefer the older lay-out =/

It would perhaps be a good idea if they did some sort of poll on it.

Yeah either that or you simply beat the level once you've met those requirements. I believe that's what they did in the third version of the game.

Great game indeed. A few months ago I found it at my gf's place and played it again for a while. I finally noticed then how awfully slow the years passed in that game. On some scenarios we had to do 4 years, but already reached the victory requirements in year 2 =/ What was even worse was the fact that we weren't able to save our game, so we had to play 4 hours straight if we wanted to finish those scenario's.

But like I said great game =)

Another movie I would perhaps like to see is Spirited Away. Not that I'm a fan of anime or anything, but if it won a fucking Oscar it's gotta be good. Just not sure about it because the trailer didn't impress me that much. Can any of you guys tell me if it would be a good purchase?

Latest purchase was O' Brother Were Art Thou which came today.

Brilliant movie :p
