I spent an additional hour on the drive to work on Monday morning, then joined a colleague for a run at lunch. By the end of the shift (1730), I was knackered. I came home, ate, grabbed 5 minutes kip, then I was out again, for an evening of RP. That set the week up tremendously!

Busy in the real world, that's good for sure. My habits with posting on Wednesdays and Saturdays vary. Because I'll be out all day, I might be too lazy to even post at all then. Heh, no wonder my progress to 30k posts has been slower than a drone metal song.

I try to post daily, but it is becoming difficult. Having to post my lists on here at night is certainly a culture shock for me...

The Liverpool anthem? No...

I love that song, even though I dislike Liverpool FC. Being a Villa fan has nothing to do with me wanting to sing that song.

Eh, you know me with not being into football. Although, everyone in the family who watches football are LFC supporters.

So? It's a good song!

Good man! We may be occupied in the real world but we'll still find our time to deposit. :D

0700 was made for that!

I deposit whenever I wake up. Well, I can't really deposit that well on the phone due to how mobile unfriendly Newgrounds is right now.

Yeah, but it seems that all websites are horrible on phones.

So, this game of Challenge and Defiance continues on Into The Darkness. I fear The Stars Look Down upon us mortal men with Grand Designs of mighty puns and weep at our careless ambition. For when The Battle has ended, who will remain Between Sun and Moon to bear the Scars? It has become apparent to me that this is not my Freewill, yet I fear the Lessons will be learned too late In The End...

I'm at a Crossroads here - do I continue, or do I just let him win? Nah, I still have Hope and Vital Signs and I still want the Limelight! It may be a Sweet Miracle if I do win, but I will learn the Lessons that come from each and every one of these song titles.

Also, Into The Darkness is the name of my Werewolf Saga.

I loved the riddle game scene with Gollum and that part in Rivendell with all those original actors from LOTR was awesome! The only thing I can say is I thought it was a bit on the light side at times, as far as the comic relief went in some of the more serious scenes. (like with the Goblin King, for example.)

I think they tried not to make it as boring as Fellowship. Lesson learned.

Anyway, I can honestly say that I'm glad they broke this up into 3 movies now. :P (I can't wait to see Beorn -he should be pretty early on in the next movie...)

Oh yeah, this is waht I spent the last two Saturdays driving two friends to Birmingham for:

I said to Andrea "It makes me want one now."

She said "Well, if you've got the money, you can buy one of your own, but I don't think it will suit you."

"I meant someone to love me, but I'll get my chance."

Anyway, thanks for the update.

Yes, I have Cooped MPA, FIGMENTUM and iWalker, moving up to #87 in the process. While I will spend the month hopefully catching and Cooping MrTrivia (9 deposits) and closing the gap on cristoff (30), Myst (41) and DaFreak (50), I would think that my ascension to 85th will have to wait until the April update, just in time for my 30th Birthday!

That is of course unless some people like Inertius want to miss three deposits in quick succession...

Title : Emperor : Death Of Kings
Author : Conn Iggulden
Genre : Historical
Publication Date : 2004
ISBN : 0-00-713619-9

Julius Caesar has been banished from Rome, by the Dictator, Cornelius Sulla. Serving aboard a Naval Legion, under the comand of a man called Gaditicus, they sail the Mediterannean, in search of pirates and keeping the coasts safe. Outclasssed tactically, their ship, Accipiter (The Hawk) is sunk and Caesar is captured, along with Gaditicus and his childhood rival, Suetonius.

Forming a close bond with the men he is kept prisoner with, Caesar recovers from a grievous head wound sustained during the defence of Accipiter and eventually the surviving men are dumped on the coast of North Africa, their ransoms paid. Julius makes a promise to the captain, that he will track them down and crucify every last one of them, something which galls his opponent and only the completion of this task will sway Caesar from the course.

Raising his men around him, from the sons of retired soldiers, Caesar forms a unit that he unofficially calls "The Wolves of Rome". Even his former commander, Gaditicus serves under him, as they begin their quest to return to Rome, with the gold used to buy their freedom liberated from the pirates.

Marcus Brutus has been busy as well - completing his time with the legion in the east, leaving before the third uprising of the Greek King, Mithridates. He returns to Rome, to find that Caesar is still away and that the borders of the estate have been moved, to pay for his safe return from the pirates. Brutus chooses to spend his time awaiting his sworn brother's return, by tracking down his mother, Servilla. Using her influence, she resurrects the name of the Primigenia (First Born) legion and command is issued to Brutus.

Caesar meanwhile tracks down his captors and blanches at meting out the punishment that he decreed. However, he carries it out, with those crucified having their throats slit after a few minutes, to end their suffering. The towns in Greece that he lands at are destroyed, by the revolting Greeks and the veterans return to his banner, when he calls, not waiting for the town's council to command them to. With his numbers bolstered to perhaps one thousand men, Caesar goes after Mithridates' army of ten thousand freed men.

Superior tactics cost Mithridates dearly and as the Romans make their way through the Greek army in a guerilla war, the morale is sapped. Mithridates is killed and Caesar brings the body of the defeated king to the legion of Lepidus, who was given command by the senate, with the orders to dispatch the revolt.

Returning to Rome, Caesar is reunited with his family - his daughter Julia he had not even known about on his years away - and Brutus, who now has a skeleton of Primigenia to back him up. Julius is given the rank of Tribune and is entitled to raise an army, although he is wary of the politics of Rome.

Then comes the news of slave revolts in the North of Italy, led by a man, whose name has been immortalised in tale and on screen - Spartacus. Dispatched out with seven other legions, Primigenia are presented with a chance to have both Caesar and Brutus fight alongside for the first time in this series.

While I have missed a lot of the smaller parts of the plot here, this is what you can pick up for the most part by reading a history book, so I don't view it as a spoiler, per se. Conn Iggulden writes a fantastic tale, though for the fact that I read his later works (The Conqueror series) first, you can see how his style has improved from here to now. Perhaps some of it is to do with the fact that I am not as infatuated with the series as I was with the Mongols, but I cannot say. I am still going through the books at a good pace and finding them entertaining, so it cannot be that bad.

Roman politics is as intriguing as modern day exchanges across the Despatch Box, although there is less of an indication as to who will side with whom, as no party politics had come in to muddy the waters and the senators were free to choose whichever way they saw fit (or whichever way had been bought from them, should I say?) The style of debate is almost poetic and while I would like to believe that the Romans made politics look as simple as the Greeks did philosophy, I simply cannot believe it, so I have to read between the lines. Knowing what will happen, with Caesar in the debating chambers, seeing his ally Pompey sign him off to Spain for a time proves that the man is afraid of the charismatic young leader of men and I feel that this simple act is the single most amazing nod toward one of the most driven men that Italy has ever produced.

I cannot wait to get started on the next one.

Up Next: Emperor : The Field of Swords, by Conn Iggulden

Shawshank is a great film, but he only got nominated for Best Actor for that one. He lost out to Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump, by the way.

I also like Invictus, where he plays Nelson Mandella, plus the Alex Cross Films, Kiss the Girls and Along Came A Spider. And who can forget his supporting performance alongside Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow in Se7en? The guy truly is a fantastic actor.

It's far too early to make these sort of decisions - there will be lots of injuries before then and teams can and will change on a seemingly daily basis.

Sure, Tarasenko, the Blues rookie looks good for the Calder at present, but hockey players blow hot and cold, so let's see it play out a little more, first.

I'll be giving verdicts on who has chances, when we're down to 16 teams with a shot at the cup (and I'll probably be wrong)

I just have to express my disgust at the Villa for the moment. We can't hold a fucking two goal lead and seem destined to be relegated at the conclusion of this season.

The sad thing is, at the moment (i.e. since we beat Liverpool 3-1), we deserve to be relegated. That's a bitter pill to swallow, for a guy who has supported this team since 1992.

We still need to plan our first date but for now, we're just meeting each other in a central point between us. She lives an hour and a half away from where I am. While it isn't a long distance like my sister going to London to meet her boyfriend (now fiance) or my aunt moving to Scotland for her boyfriend, travel fares are still quite costly.

I've been asked out by girls before and it's gone both ways. Bex asked me out first, but I was preparing to see someone else at the time. When that didn't work out, I still managed to go back to her and ask if her offer was still on the table. I think you know enough of the rest...

Exactly. Fifteen whole English pounds

I've only studied Roman and Greek mythology, so I'm not too hot on Heiroglyphs... Dog Corn it?

lol, no hieroglyphs. The dog is a wolf named "Lady" from Game of Thrones. Then an "ear" or corn (unless that was a typo and you meant to spell earn...) And the computer is a Commodore 64.

I should have known the Commodore 64, as I have just sold one on eBay...

I said you probably wouldn't get the first one because you told me you haven't read Game of Thrones yet. :P

Not yet, though I did just buy a load of books - Emperor : The Field of Swords; Alexander, God of War and Calico Joe. Different, but something that I thought I'd get into.

Yeah, he was a mod, we weren't, back then :P

I would have liked NEVR to have been there as well but I've not seen him around here for a while now. D:

Times change and sadly he is one that has left Newgrounds. The same can be said for people like Tri-Nitro-Toluene, who was also a fantastic laugh, but no longer with us.

We can agree that the snow sucks, right?

Apparently, building snowmen is a good way to avoid flooding. I'm all for that.

That's... somewhat acceptable, even without knowing who/what said that.

Well, it means that it will take longer to melt, so less flood water will be able to cause rivers to burst their banks. All of the snow around here has pretty much gone, though.

And maybe a song between us because those are always fun.

Yeah, we could crucify something, upon your insistence :P

Perhaps Luis would be the ultimate sacrifice.

Perhaps. Can we not find anyone better to sacrifice? There are plenty of virgins on Newgrounds, after all...

We did The Trooper before.

Did we? Oh shit, yeah. Damn, I really want to do Flight of Icarus, or Dance of Death.

We might get lucky with Flight of Icarus. I know White Swan & Cuckoo have Different World but I only wonder how many will have heard that song. :P

They all will have, by the time I'm done - most of Wapping will have!

You're making it sound easy.

You mean it isn't?

These are the high ranks; they should never be easy.

Don't get too carried away though, or you'll find yourself in a Red Barchetta with The Necromancer on your way to Rivendell!

Hardly, when I die, I'll release the Spirit of Radio :P

Two Lady's an hour? Not bad, I'm looking forward to when I ear a Commodore an hour ;)

Just to confuse you, by throwing even more obscure slang in there.

Coop, you bastard, you just blew my fucking mind.

Lady Godiva - Fiver (Five pound note). Commodore - the greatest hit ever released by Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores is Three Times A Lady. How much would that be, then?

With the combined efforts of Google image search and MS Paint, I was able to recreate how my brain interpreted that sentence. (The first pic may elude you, I think. Maybe.) :P

Had to summon the old man for this one - something that he has to see, as well. He's taken one similar, in the slips, with no time to consciously react, just sticking your arm out and reeling it in. He looked like John Travolta, during Saturday Night Fever, at second slip, though.

I would have thrown Metallica in the mix except the only song of theirs they had was Enter Sandman. Shame, really since on the Sunfly Karaoke website they list the actual good songs like One, Battery and Master of Puppets. Could you imagine me taking the whole place by storm with Master of Puppets?

Having had a quick look at their website, I'd have had to give The Trooper a shot. I need a red jacket and a Union Flag from somewhere...

Well, shit.

There I was, setting myself up for an evening of writing for an RP game that I'm running on Wednesday evenings and as I finish putting the touches to the interactive part of the dungeon (a paper cut-out, with spinning dials, to better help the players visualise stuff, despite the fact that I'm a god awful artist), my mind goes blank.

Seriously, I've got 10 rooms to work out before we start tomorrow evening and I have no idea how to make this work. I'm going to have to wing it and I feel like shit, because I'm going to let my players down...

Maybe they won't get there and I'll buy myself another week...

Coop starts plotting again for his Wednesday night game. Congratulations to:

True, but at some stage, you've got to Roll the Bones.

This is so, so true. When Queen were just starting up, their drummer Roger Taylor was told to 'stop breaking Drumsticks' because they couldn't afford it. Now that's doing it tough.

And we were just playing puns with Rush song titles :P

It's cleared up already. Although, my voice still needs to recover but that shouldn't be a problem. I just better make sure I avoid high pitched vocals for karaoke.

I would have done that - I'd even come up with a few tracks that I was hopefully going to try...

I had the chance to do FOUR that night. They were:

Deep Purple - Highway Star
Genesis - Land of Confusion
Faith No More - Epic
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train

*Googles tenner* (English slang totally escapes me, sorry.) So, were you working full-time or part? I honestly wouldn't mind making that money at even a part-time job, at this point and I was making $16.50 at my old job, with a modest amount of OT on the side, too.

That and the fact that we can't tell how many medals people have... the way it looks, it's not been counting them up correctly for a few weeks...

Thanks for the memories friends. I have had to call time, as work is now taking up most of my spare time.
