Ooh, a bit of a change behind me. Congratulations to Little-Rena on passing the Legend that is milinko959. I think that passing me is going to be somewhat more of a challenge though :P

All Requests Completed:
Coop83, Little-Rena, Haggard, Shanus, Shadow-1409, phantomlassuk, Metal-Therapy

7 Completers this time around. With 14 requests, that shows that people are still hungry to write reviews. This week should have even more, considering how few requests we have had of late :(

Thanks for the update, Bahamut. Nice looking and a nice new, but similar layout to gfox's

That's what I wanted. Thanks!

No problem - I know craftsmanship when I see it.

Well, that pretty much means that Cyberdevil will now reach 10k+ reviews and be the second user to be pentalisted

Indeed it will, but sadly, we'll have to wait until August for him to write more reviews.

That'll be here soon enough. I've got to work on getting rid of my English Suntan by that point. My face and forearms are going nicely brown, while the rest of me is remaining quite white. I guess that Saturday means that I'll wash the car and mow the lawns without a shirt on to frighten the neighbours :P

Yeah, but now he's got a legitimate shot at being the second pentalisted user before X gets to be the first user pentalisted for 20k stats. Experience might slow him down, unless he can't pull himself away from Poxnora for long enough to post a quick 3k

That's fucking ridiculous. I'll have to go and surf for some bolt ons for my machine and customise it to fuck. Might have to borrow that 4Tb External Hard Drive that my girlfriend's dad bought. Not sure what I can do about the lack of facilities on the other parts though...

Why would you want to replace it with nothing? It's a symbol of your identity as a newgrounder. Why not try something like a construction site hoarding, that says "New Banner Coming Soon!"

Come to think of it, I might give that a shot...

I think that's how it goes, anyway...

The parameters for asking Wade if you can change the name on your account:

You must have a damned good reason to want to change your username. i.e. it's not a fad and you'll want to change it again 5 days later.

You must be patient. Wade doesn't answer every single PM he gets, as he's a busy guy, who gets hundreds of PMs per day. If he doesn't answer within a week, assume the answer is no and get on with your life. If he gets back to you and changes the account details, then it's a bonus.

Right, I think it might be able to be solved by clearing the cache. Simple procedure of pressing [Ctrl + F5] if that doesn't work, just try refreshing the window once more. If it doesn't work, come back and we'll see what else we can do - a screenshot would be great as well, like Auz showed you.

That's way too early to call. You might as well say that the Devil Rays will win the World Series in 3 years time.

Still, the Leafs have a new coach. Ron Wilson has the unenviable task of leading a team with little talent and high expectations back to the playoffs.

I've done the majority of the bonus songs already. Just not the ones that sounded shit when you get to listen to a bit of them in the store.

I've not heard a single song in the store sound any good. I'll be purchasing and playing them when I've bought all of the characters and guitars. I think it's only Reaper and Morello left to buy, then about another dozen guitars :P

Moving over to Rock Band next then?

Now now, it's not that much of a big deal. If I was passing him to get into the top 50, it certainly would be, but let's put things in context. Dream-of-Duke is no fixit, ramagi or Denvish. I'm passing a wannabe, not a legend.

Rcok Band is certainly overhyped. I can't cope with how good a game is, considering that even if you've got the system, you'll still have to pay circa 180 pounds stirling to get a playable game. Unless you already own Guitar Hero and only want to play the guitar parts, that is :P

The big quaestion is how much will Guitar Hero 4 be? Will it have the 'band in a box' pack that you can get for Rock Band, which costs 129.99, but also needs to buy the game for a further 50 pounds.

Thanks Coop. You must be referring to my post count. Creeping I can live with. Stagnant means there's a problem. I'll hit the 10k mark at some point bud. I'm in no rush. A friend sent me this joke today and it gave me a good laugh. Thought I'd share it with the LUL.

I'll put the champagne on ice then. The joke is one that I've heard, but in a different guise. I heard one about an American Businessman, a Japanese Businessman and an Irish Businessman. He just farted and said "Excuse me, I'm just receiving a fax."

So the game isn't to everyone's tastes. I loved it and the way that you could perform certain moves with each different weapon selection - I'm still trying to combo kill effectively with the short-blade, it's more difficult than it looks.

The game itself has been left with such amazing opportunities to take it further. While I wait for Eidos to pull their thumbs out of their arses and develop another Legacy of Kain game, I can certainly see this game taking up what little of my social time that there is.
