Statically and Mathematically I can tell I am going to be passed. I can make it harder by slurring antisemitic remarks and going for sprints of b/p gain occasionally. It was my will to try staying off the Member list however I should have been on the list years ago, back when the RCVL was dormant and before Cooper. Now I will try my darnedest to get of the list and back on the Regulars.

Yes, well... just be thankful I've been sticking up for you in the DoD comparisons Coop's been making about you lately. NO GETTING OFF THE MEMBERLIST FOR YOU.

I didn't even get to celebrate my 4 year anniversary. I think too many Wi/Ht? elections are being held and 3 at the max should be let on the list. I came in 4th so therefore I must be removed from the list due to technical errors. I will humbly pass my #45 Wi/Ht? Member membership to the next user voted on.

Oh, I see. That's why you said in another topic that if the next election has only 3 elected, you'll be pissed off. Dude, the number of people voted in hasn't always been the same. Once upon a time we added members ONCE AT A TIME. There were times when 2 were added, or 3, or 4, yes. It's no set number. It depends on who's running the elections and how many votes people get, to be frank.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that NEVR is one of them, judging from a post I remember catching up on in the EGRL yesterday. I believe he has a 2 blams/day rate and is very upset it's stuck there.

Well anyway I made a new List it will be like the List Leapers List and just be for ego boosting stats. I will update it when users are added to the Wi/Ht? memberlist

The RCVL began on 10/16/2004 to Since Redcirle's induction on the Wi/Ht? Members list In longest to shortest time. Based on how long it took you to reach the membership status.
Time is in days f.y.i.

First update of the Memberlist Ascension. (fuck I hope it looks pretty)

#_|Time|RCVL_____|Member_|Alias + profile id.
01|1,400|08/01/2005 | 06/01/2009| iscrulz 269500

So really, all you needed to be content was another list with you in the #1 spot, eh?

Here's an idea for you: make a memberlist stat list like the RCVL, and then you can strive to get to #1 in total pentapoints amongst the Wi/Ht? membership. Of course, Coop will just say it's another list for him to top you in, so... be forewarned if you do elect to take up that listmakery.

People may not remember, but early on in the Regular list, there was a brief Members vs. Regulars vs. Mods triple stat list competition of sorts.

Honestly, I remember something about that, but I didn't remember who it was. It was just due to weird timing with the regular list update and the membership election that month.

IIRC, Alkador probably would have gone straight to the membership had that regular election not taken place beforehand. There's no way there was a 3 day turnaround in terms of getting him on the nominations list for membership, meaning that membership election wasn't using the regulars' list as a candidate pool.

The following users Jewed their way on the Memberlist or gay and were not on the Regular list
A. Coop83
B. Casualty

At 7/8/09 02:40 PM, NEVR wrote: Weird, what happened there, then?

There was a Member election held during the time the Regulars List was dormant and those two were more active in the forum since the previous election to the one in May 2007, where myself, absent, Coop and Casualty became members. The candidates were all active users of that time regardless of being a Wi/Ht? Regular or not. As a result, Coop and Casualty became members without even becoming regulars beforehand.

That may be what specifically happened at that point for those two.... but remember: there wasn't always a regulars' list, and members before the list existed certainly were never regulars.

Also, I can't speak for Recon, but I didn't pull candidates SOLELY from the regulars' list on a few elections I ran. Now, maybe most of the elections I ran were during the regulars' list not existing or being on a hiatus, but... I don't believe that was true 100% of the time.

What I thought all games were, unless I am confused by turned based. tactics and FF12 DS sounds fucking lame and I would never played one second.

Turn-based strategy does NOT equal turn-based JRPG and real-time JRPG (which is what most FFs are).

Turn-based strategy: X-Com games, FF Tactics, Fire Emblem
Real-time strategy: Warcraft, Starcraft, Red Alert
Turn-based JRPG: early Dragon Warrior/Quest, early FFs
Real-time JRPG: later FFs

unless you count LoZ as a RPG

LOZ is an Adventure (no levels/stats, just equipment /= JRPG).

If I remember VCS was the same wait wtf you haven't played LCS ( Reason number 3) I thought for sure you played because it was on the PSP then went to PS2 and maybe a double-pack for Xbox/360

Yes, but I hadn't ever played much GTA3 when LCS came out, so I didn't bother getting it. VC, OTOH, I loved, so when VCS came out, I was excited by it coming from PSP to PS2 and got it very quickly (as I'm sure you remember).

Bethesda has announced that those Fallout 3 DLC packs that Xbox 360 owners have been enjoying for the last few months will be heading to the PS3...

All those DLC packs (well, cept maybe for the 3rd one, the Broken Steel one) are already available for PC, so... WHOOPS. PS3 falls behind again.

So I see barely any chance. Well you are missing out on Video Game history.

So? I never had a PSP or X-Box or N64 or Saturn or Jaguar or 3DO or Lynx or Colecovision or... :::runs out of consoles off the top of his head:::

I DID, OTOH, have an Atari 2600, an Intellivision 2, a GameBoy, a NES, a SNES, a Sega Master System, a Sega Genesis, a Dreamcast, a PSX, a PS2, a Gamecube, and a Wii....

Most important of all, I've had 5 computers over the past 20 years, all of which were used for some form of PC gaming, the truest video gaming there IS. EAT IT.

Well, he did give Dream Theater, Edguy and such a listen to out of the blue.

Which of those things you just mentioned are FF games?

B) will never play enough FF to learn to like it

Has he even played any FF games? :P

He claims he has.

I'm surprised how they made a FFXII sequel so soon, even if it was for the DS.

It's just a short little tactical/strategy game and it's not about all the characters from 12, just 4 of them or so, and some minor NPCs from Rabanastre. I wouldn't really call it a full sequel, since it's only on DS/portable.

And keep in mind that 2 games from the FF12 era isn't that much when they're planning what... 4 FF13 games all at once? That's way overkill, very much like the FF7 overkill.

TOO LATE. I VOTED FOR YOU, HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH. </win>

Why thank you I need the luck to get on this list. Maybe RR will come back and kick me out for being to gay and other reason I have been explaining.

If you won't and Bahamut won't then I will find the original Wi/Ht? members and convince them.

RR would never kick you out. But it would be nice if he came back, yes.

Anyway, I'll take the special message down sooner or later. But... eh, not yet. #;-}>

I am an original Wi/Ht? member, punkass. And so are you. WE ARE ONE. ONE UF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

I won't beat that because I could not stay for 32 hours plus I would need a 30 minute porn and fapping break then that would break up my streak. I am deciding whether to play killzone 2 or Bioshock. I still have Saints Row 2 to play before Gta IV Vice City, GOW III and Bioshock 2 come out and the Pitt and Anchorage on FO3.

Play both, then.

You can't go 32 hours without fapping? Jeez, man.

I am half tempted to play some FF to get more knowledge to bash it even more. I would probably smash the disc after 20 minutes of playing after being disgusted with it.

Go for it. You can videotape the disc smash and show me and Bahamut.

Yeah you should get the old unused (high unlikely because they are flying off the shelfs @ christmas time. You can finally play GTA IV with me and Bahamut.

I ALREADY HAVE GTA IV. I ain't buying it a 2nd time for a game system I DON'T OWN. Whereas both you and Bahamut have PCs already. So YOU buy GTA IV and come play with ME. At least you would only have to buy the game a 2nd time, but no further purchases on consoles. How about that? #;-}>

No Bahamut my good dragon do not frame it, print it or quote it. I will for always more say FF is the worse game unless wait there is no unless.

You'll find something worse. SOMEDAY. We have faith.

Nah you fool it is not overrated. They bought one during its debut because they knew it was awesome however I tend to wait to get the bad batch they make during the first few months. As for the Wii I tried since day one and 360 if natal is good then I will buy one just for that. You dissing the best movie format blu-ray * takes leather typing glove off and slaps gfoxcook across the face* I challenge you to a duel. This Saturday late afternoon scoped .44 magnum revolvers. Blu-ray is the clearest, brightest and most versatile format of the movies and games (PS3) you must have poor vision if you don't like blu-rays because I can tell a difference from 480 dvds to upconverted dvds to blu-rays.

I've never watched a blu-ray. How do I know it's overrated then, you ask? BECAUSE I HAVE A HDTV + regular ol' DVD player, and my movies and TV shows look PERFECTLY FINE already.

If I'm satisfied with the sound and video of my regular ol' DVDs (which I waited until many years after they were introduced to buy, BTW, so that I didn't have to spend a small fortune)... then I know by definition that the "next gen" movie storage system is OVERRATED.

Also: HD-DVD was just as overrated as blu-ray, but I'll say one thing for it: its name wasn't the stupidest fucking name ever invented.

I also know that a lot of games that would have been exclusive on PS1 or PS2 are now on PC and/or X-Box 360 as well as on PS3, so... (yawn)

Saturday at late afternoon it is be there or you lose.

Nothing to say to that, eh? It's so true. NO MORE PS EXCLUSIVES. The PS1 and PS2 owned the PS3, and you know it. The Sony Playstation era is OVER. 1996ish to 2006ish... R.I.P. PSX era.

Hmm that has me thinking maybe I could be voted of the member list and take the place of the ascending regular. It is brilliant and would work perfectly.

No one gets off the list. The best you can do is retire from it, and I'll mark you down as retired, but you'll still be on the list.

If all you care about is being on the regular list (and not NOT being on the memberlist), then convince Bahamut to let you be on both lists at once. IT'S YOUR ONLY SHOT.

You were the most deserving addition to the list in a loooooooooooong time, iscrulz. Mwahahahaha. Like it or NOT.

Man I should have been on there before life and COOOOOOPERRRRRRRRR damn him.

Hahahahahah. The truth comes out. See, folks? I told you he wanted it. #;-}>

Well I managed all those time to avoid it by saying don't vote for me or going inactive. I am not sure if 4th and 5th was a close or far off. I am hoping the former because I would be truly sadden because only a few no votes and I would still be ruling this list and going for 100k while I was a rcvl member.

Pffft. 4th and 5th? Huh?

Oh, you mean whether you were #3 just barely? Hm. Dunno. Ask Bahamut.

Oh, all the times I voted you in but not enough joined me. ALL THE TIMES. Finally... I am triumphant.

Well you might have gotten me on the list this time but if the next update (member) comes and only 3 people are voted in then there is fool play. Like I said before. We will see.

If only 3 people are voted into the memberlist next update, there's foul play? WTF? How do you figure that?

Bahamut could add 1, 2, 3, 4, or some other number of people next memberlist vote. It's up to his discretion, what the fuck does it have to do with your election being fishy or the next election being fishy? Nothing, that's what. O_o

I don't hate the PS3, I just ignore it. You should follow my lead when it comes to FF, btw.

Nope it is too hard for me to ignore it when I hate. You can ignore the PS3, I will still love it, even more when the new motion controller comes out. I should get Steam and see what happens.

Of course I can ignore the PS3 while you still love it. Just like you can keep on hating FF but Bahamut and I will still love it.

No he is saving up his hard earned pounds to buy a PS3 he has his heart set on plus a Deathclaw, yao guai and um Big Daddy will come after him if he doesn't save up. As for the PC and Steam it is just MP and uh nothing stopping him from not getting that.

Too bad he's got Fallout 3 on Steam/PC then, eh?

Also, if he gets games like FO3 for the PC, he can post videos of his gameplay a lot easier than if he gets them on PS3. I wonder if he's thought of that. He does so love recording videos, after all. Hmmm.

Lol he should get FO3 for Steam asap, a FO3 video man that would be fucking awesome wandering the waste land. :::Hit record::: I am going annihilate this group of Raiders.

Done and done, thanks to a Valve sale. VALVE IS GOD.

And yes, it is fucking awesome to be able to record your gameplay at the drop of the hat. WELCOME TO THE LAND OF PC GAMING. Destroy your console and join us, mortal!

Not sure if that means now would be a better time for you to try and get your own hacked account back or a worse time (due to admins being busy handling all this stuff going down), but you should really try PMing an admin other than Tom or Wade, seeing as how they probably get more PMs each day than the other admins combined (sheer speculation, of course, but... name recognition, you know?

Yeah, they're breathing down BOTH our necks, man. You gotta do something about those fuckers. Remember what you said you had planned for someone-else and I assume for Overtired over in the VP thread? Well, you gotta bring that shit here to the saves list and employ that against those uppity bastards here, too!

Those fuckers won't be messing with me if the pass the turtle then I will get down to business and fuck them up. I am more focused on the VP because you know it is harder to pass users or even be passed. But here I will sic them with rabid ravenous half-wolf quarter-pitbull quarter-rottweiler mutts.

Fuck them up REEEEEEEEEAL GOOOOOOOOOD, man.

Coop said he was gonna pass you months ago? Where was this estimate/prediction/claim of his, eh? I WANTS ZE PROOOOF.

He said in the main b/p ranks, Oh izzy you will give up and get tired I will easily pass you. That is when the fight sparked and lit my anti-semantic rage. I let the posts & total review slide, but for saves I gave some hurtful lickins.

I see.

My Astros beat your Tigers? Unbelievable.

Well that sucks balls the got spanked last night. An embarrassing 8 to 1 in the 8th inning.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN.

Oh pitching needs more improvement. Our relievers blow just about every single game last year. Rodney needs to go to the minors or has. LOB count. So is the tigers. last nights game it went down I would guess.

LESS LOB, MORE RISP => RUNS. As baseball fans, we can all only wish.

Why is looking at where a link goes called a "Hoover trick?"

Hoover, should be hover. Trick because not everyone knows about it.

Ah, that didn't even occur to me. Hover, gotcha. Anyway, everyone should know about it, whether they do or not.

I will just buy the games I think my PC will handle it, if not tiem fer a naow campootah. Maybe Bethesda and Valve are competitors so its not on Steam.

Then why are Fallout 3, TES3:Morrowind and TES4:Oblivion all on Steam, then?

Your plan also seems to have been to CHANGE YER NAME TO A CRAPPY NEW ONE and then to make your alt your old name... which then came in handy for those of us reading the General threads about all the insanity lately, when I saw a "corky52" posting with some low-ass-stat account, and discovered that your main account wasn't corky52 anymore, or else I woulda come in to Wi/Ht? and gone "WHO THE FUCK IS THIS FRO CHARACTER?"

Congrats on breaking into the top 440 then! But you weren't really losing those ranks (if you were making every deposit, of course), you were just suffering from people finally depositing before you deposited on that very day when a day prior (and possibly for days and days prior to that) they had deposited after you.

It's all in the timing.

Also, wow, Pimp missed approx. 8 deposits. Awesome.

Indeed. Even if the worst case level 60 system scenario is true, Pimp's missed deposits buy us a LITTLE more time before the scaling returns.

Sadly, even if he were to fully retire, bomb is ready to take up the crown in just a month, clearly.

You were right about me in this case. I missed one deposit somewhere in late october I believe because of sudden internet problems that robbed me of my internet for about 2 weeks >=(

At least you had a good excuse! I had no internet for about 1 week during last September, just a month or so before your issues... and while I managed to deposit relying upon my family's connection 40 miles away, I then failed to deposit at least... 2-3-4 times according to Bahamut's update... on days when I had no such computer issues as you and I had during the autumn! ;_;

Ah yes. I remember when PriKedELiK was in the top 50, but is now #555 in EXP. Two former top 50'ers falling fast. It's only a matter of time until humantarget and Shrapnel start falling down really hard.

555.... wow.

Yep. Like when I retired from b/p... I was #2... or had I already been passed and knocked to #3 by then? Can't remember. Anyway, point is, I was right up there just behind ramagi by a bit.

And it took a loooong time for me to get nudged down and down and down again to get bumped out of the top 10. But once I'd fallen that far, going from ~10 to my current #22... happened relatively fast. And I'd be even lower if I wasn't 24k->36king on my saves, of course.

So... once humantarget and Shrapnel are out of the top 50 in another year or so, I suspect they'll start falling faster, yes. They'll certainly not remain in the 51-100 range as long as they remained in the 1-50 range, that's for sure.

Barring a resumption of depositing, that is.

Man, if you do a normal update on 6/28 and I'm still #51, and then I'm #50 for your "1 year anniversary" special update on 6/30..... as I just fantasized about above... that would be so fucking spectacular. #;-}>

I've yet to get World of Goo for the Wii. I need to double check which version has what before getting it. I only want this game on one platform, NOT both unless I happen to like the game so much that it deserves to be purchased twice.

Oh, I thought you had it.

There's not that much difference between the two versions except that the PC one has more extensive online scoreboards (though they break from time to time/go offline) and the Wii one has wiimote control instead of mouse, of course.

I actually had a look at this game after acknowledging my sister was playing the demo. She claimed the game felt more like an art project than a video game. I had a look myself and it wasn't bad but the demo crashed 5 minutes after playing the game. ;_;

Indeed. Some missed 1 (or 2) deposit(s)... others just deposited BEFORE your first update a year ago and then AFTER your 1-year-anniversary update that day THIS year. Such is exp-related NG stat list updating life, eh?

The only way you could made sure (or at least closer to being sure) woulda been to check all such cases at 11:59PM NG time the final day you did data pulls for that year-long list.

Anywho:

;_;

41 25,402 48 0 0 Yume -26

My possible entry point to the top 50 is 25410. Yume is the only +0 for the year between myself just outside the top 50 and the Shrapnel/humantarget zone at the mid-list.

There've been years in the past where there were MANY 0s in the top 50. For there only to be 3... is pretty amazing, actually. Sadly, Captain Bob and HAQ are close to 0s, too, so you could say 5, not 3... but still that's a low number compared to once-upon-a-time when I remember there being like 10. Maybe they weren't 0 for a full 365 days, but there were some long-term 0s for awhile there. Lots of 'em.

Anyway, Yume is 90 days in front of me, so... just 3 short months and I'll be in the top 50, one way or another. I was hoping for making it by the redesign's 2nd anniversary coming up here later this very week, but... oh well. Patience I have in spades, and patience I shall continue to rely upon.

You know, I find this kinda insane. First of all, it depends on what a sketch is, of course. Sketches that are SKETCHY (harr), for lack of a better word, sure... if they're all scribbly out of borders, if they have visible pencil lines that have been erased but not well enough to disappear, obviously... sure, that's an unfinished, sloppy sketch.

But the OP's sketch of Master Chief's helmet is clean, finished-looking, and just happens to be pencil on white background, no colours.

So not only are photographs banned from the art portal, but so are black and white pencil-on-paper sketches, no matter how good/finished they are?

Lame.

Bad ass. That woulda been insane, yeah. And if there were 4 different review stats, there'd be people clamoring for FOUR MORE COLUMNS FOR THE RESPONSES FOR EACH OF 'EM AS WELL, and then it'd be like a 12-column stat list. INSANITY. #;-}>

The review category will stay merged, but for now the list can only gather stats for flash and audio reviews. For art reviews, not only does it not appear on userpages yet but the stat pulling program was made before the Art Portal existed, so we'll have to do without them until there's a way to get information for them as well.

I don't care how many users there'll be on the list, just as long as there won't be 20 new entries per month (like I said previously). I don't want to trim down the list just yet, even though I'm beginning to think 20k for EXP and posts are the new 10k.

Indeed.

Agreed, whenever I get round to playing GTA4, after finishing it I'll be looking into The Lost and the Damned. Of course, if it remains 360 exclusive, I'm screwed unless I end up getting a 360.

Eh. It's not like it's a full game. It's like an ep 1 or ep 2 for HL2, only it's not even that important because you don't care as much about individual GTA plots as you do about Half-Life's arc plot. Or at least... you shouldn't, if you're a fan of both series. HL plot = matters. GTA plot = discarded when they switch cities again (which is often).

My sister's boyfriend got the game for his birthday last year. Since I was down there, I was given a chance to play it and I was 3/5 through the game before I headed back home in July. When I was down in London again in November, I finished off the game to make way for LittleBigPlanet.

Sooo... sounds like MGS4 is a pretty quick game, then.

Yeah, you better duck after calling MGS1 "OK, it's nothing that special." :P

hahahah.

I'm becoming more and more inclined to never get a PS3

No, because I only ever save on Opera, and I only ever blam on Firefox (for now, once gfoxcook is retired, I'll do both ONLY on Firefox).

And since I'm only ever logged in to gfoxcook on Opera and gfoxclock/gfox on Firefox.... that keeps my saves where they belong and my blams where they belong. Capisce?

Hah. Well, I'm sure both you and Coop can probably guess which one of those now has additional appeal to me for a retirement date AND retirement exp number for gfox. #;-}>

CLOCK DAY CLOCK DAY CLOCK DAY

Ding ding ding ding!

There is only ONE problem with this, BTW, which I've just now thought of: no more b/p for gfox. Not that I'm bothered by leaving him at 12 saves and 6 blams or whatever he's on (not even sure I'm remembering it right) for all eternity, but... hm. I wonder... if you only vote on one or two things, say, and then 2 weeks later vote on one or two things, surely NG's forgotten about the previous votes by then and they won't register towards a deposit, correct?

I think that's so, but I'm not too sure. I've noticed some of my alts I meant to stop depositing for I accidentally voted on them a few times (no deposits, though) and later, the voting was reset so I'd have to vote for 5 more flashes to deposit again.

Well, can you help me out by confirming that? i.e. if you have an alt you stopped depositing for, but it wouldn't kill you if it gained 10 exp by accident, vote on 2 movies for it today and see what it says... "4 more till deposit..." and "3 more till deposit..." hopefully... and then in a couple weeks, vote on 2 more movies for it again, and see if it says "4 more, 3 more" again or if it says "2 more, 1 more..."

Then I'll know whether I should at least get gfox up to 36/36 before then. I might go ahead, but for now I'm leaving him at 12/6.

Hell, in fact.... I should put gfoxcook at 36k/36k, gfoxclock at 3.6k/3.6k, and gfox at 36/36 (or 360/360, whichever).

Sounds like a plan.

I'll only be doing the 360/360 if it's true that you can avoid deposits while doing occasional <5 per day b/ping.

Also, I really doubt I'd retire gfoxclock at 3.6k/3.6k, but we'll see. Depends on how much I b/p with him after I retire my main, of course. By my current levels, it would be easy to, but if somehow the ability to rise through the EG ranks again with gfoxclock got me back into both blams and saves again... I might have to try for a 2nd EGSC account. #;-}>

Hmm I don´t know those songs that well yet. But weren´t they also featured on October, Boy or War? And I thought I was pretty sure that 11 O'Clock Tick Tock was their very first single and not a b-side.

No, they're not from any albums.

You're correct that 11 O'CTT is a single in its own right, but it was pre-Boy, and the track wasn't on Boy. I confess that at times to me, single = a song from an album that has a separate smaller release with its name, and b-side = every track that didn't make it onto an album, usually found on singles.

So to me, even though it was the "star" of its own single, it's still kinda like a b-side in that it never made an album. #;-}>

I don´t have any U2 singles at all. My fathers to blame for that. He always wanted to buy the whole album because that was much cheaper and b-sides are usually never that interesting anyway.

Well, back around 1993-1994 I had finished getting all the U2 albums, and when I saw singles in the store, I figured... eh... I don't buy singles for any other bands, but this is U-freaking-2, so WTF not? And thus I started buying U2 singles. #;-}>

But I believe a lot of B-sides appeared on the "Best of"-collection cd´s, so we still have them somewhere.

That's good.

But anyway, you clearly missed out on SOME songs, for instance saying you're not that familiar with Party Girl and 11 O'CTT, so... you should at least get the live album Under a Blood Red Sky. It's got only 8 tracks, but it has iconic live performances of tracks like Sunday Bloody Sunday and those 2 non-album tracks above and a few other tracks from Boy and October and War performed live. Like... Gloria... and I Will Follow (I think)... and Electric Co from Boy... and... eh, I can't remember 'em all. I fail.

I think so? Although I am a little confused here :p

Do you also mean not all of their existing music necessarily has to be what they really sound like? Or used to sound like?

I guess what I meant was it's funny how your idea of what a band SHOULD sound like is totally crafted just from what they've released, not from what the band actually has done.

For instance, there could be 10 weird U2 songs out there that you and I haven't heard, all from the 80s and 90s... and their next new album in a few years comes out and sounds really weird and very un-U2-like to both of us and we don't like it very much... but in an alternate reality, those 10 weird songs were either on albums or were well-known b-sides or live staples, and.... due to that one change, the new album that comes out sounds like perfect U2 to us. #;-}>

I guess I just mean that bands do change from album to album, but they probably also have secret sides and songs that were everyone to know, our ideas of what a band's sound truly IS might change already, just looking back at old stuff, let alone a new album that sounds weird and different (like I believe your first reaction to the new album was, at least to most of it).

I was just joking a bit that while XBox players have to pay, at least they get this whole achievement system with gamerscore and all that shit. Which is of course totally not worth spending any money on :p

But now that you say that even you as a PC gamer have something like that, it´s almost retarted to get the XBox version.

Well, if someone cares about gamerscore, you don't get that on Steam (at least, not yet). You get achievements in any game that has them (not all games do, like with XB360, but a lot do... I'd say of the 80 games I have, around 12 have them, and most are newer and good games, a lot of the games that don't have them are from the 1990s, so... pretty obvious why they don't have 'em, achievements weren't around back in the 90s).

But anyway, you can see your % achieved for each individual game. Here, this is my TF2 stats/achievement info page:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/gfawkes/sta ts/TF2

And here's my page for Portal, say:

http://steamcommunity.com/id/gfawkes/sta ts/Portal

And I bought my last videogame about 2 years ago. Which was Zelda: Twilight Princess by the way. But I´ll just keep TF2 in mind if I ever have some spare money and spare time.

Awesome.

Well, much as I need to listen to more Blind Guardian, you need to watch more Charlton Heston movies. I believe I was referring to more of an Omega Man type Charlton Heston line of dialogue. He was the last human alive who wasn't mutated or whatever in that one. Good stuff, but not as famous as Soylent Green or Planet of the Apes.

I think Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes are the only movies I ever watched with Charlton Heston. >_>

PotA is a classic, and I know the famous scenes from Soylent Green though I haven't seen it, but... Omega Man is right up there with 'em!

HE'S THE LAST MAN. HE'S THE OMEGA MAN. HOLY SHIT!

So what, you park the bike right on the floating shirt icon, or where it's just poking out the side of the bike, then get on the bike from that side but being careful not to touch the icon before you hit the triangle button?

Essentially yes, the trick is that you should pick up the token while you're hopping on the bike, not on your approach beforehand or after you've sat down on it. Took me a good 5 minutes or so to get right, but it's fantastic once you get it.

Yeah, past the first dozen pages it died a bit of a slow death as the quality photoshops dried up and crappy MS Paint offerings emerged. While I was disappointed to see it locked before Dick Neck: Origins was made, it was for the best.

Yeah, I didn't want to wade through the crap I knew would be in the later pages, so I ended up letting ED do my crap-wading for me, and they pulled out the few pearls that remained for me. Thanks, ED!

I think we've had this discussion before, then. I AM FEELING TEH DEJA VU.

Now, I know there was another Irish dude who used to frequent LUL a lot back in the day, but... I really doubt you both suffer from the same lack of U2 enjoyments. That'd be too much to bear. ;_;

Yeah, there was a lot of wasted potential there, I have to agree with that. Frankly I think they could've dedicated an episode to him as opposed to him supplementing the existing storyline for that episode.

Yep. Plus more making fun of rest of the band OR if Matt and Trey didn't want to do that because they felt only Bono was deserving of self-important celebrity mocking, then they could have really set the 3 other bandmates against him. Maybe had them team up with Stan, Kyle, and Cartman in pairs to defeat the evil Bono or something. Coulda been epic! Instead... was just pretty funny. Good enough, though. Every ep of South Park can't be epic or it wouldn't still be going after 13 or 14 seasons, it'd have exhausted itself long, long ago. #;-}>

Yes, it is.

Well, that blows... but at least you have a good reason for not being a Doom fan.

I don't think so. I got sick of it back in the days, I get sick of it now. Funnily enough I never experience this problem anywhere else, only on FPS (and sitting with the back to the direction of motion in a bus).

Ah, so it doesn't matter... oldschool Doom, flash Doom, any Doom at all... maybe it's the pixelated nature of the graphics + the FPS 360 degree rotationings?

I have no problem sitting with my back in the direction of motion on a bus or train, so... your susceptibility to that might indeed be linked to your issues in Doom and some other FPSes. Which others make you feel that way, though?

To kid you. :P But I really don't like Doom... yes, because it makes me sick. It's hard to like something that makes you sick, right?

Eh. If ice cream made me sick, I think I'd still eat it.

Or at least swish it around in my mouth a little and then spit it out. #;-}>

What about Resistance doesn't get you motion-sick, anyway?

The better graphics, I guess.

Well then, there's a super long list of PC FPSes that should work fine with you, including the great Half-Life and especially Half-Life 2.

Does Quake 3 get you motion-sick?

Yes, but it takes a lot longer than it takes on Doom. So I guess the shittier the graphics the quicker I get motion sick (and only on FPS).

Fascinating.

So, Doom: Insta motion sick
Quake 1: Hm... about half an hour
Quake 2: About one hour
Quake 3: Don't know, maybe 2 hours

Half-Life 1 has graphics around Q3 era, so that'd fit in there.

Resistance: Didn't get motion sick.

and Half-Life 2 has graphics a little behind Resistance, so possibly you wouldn't get sick at all, or if at all it would take a long time.

Hahahahahahaa, I love that comment.

Heh. :::tips cap:::

Of course, you can't really expect them to put Guitar Hero on Steam since you need the peripherals in order to play them the right way.

You do realise that GH3 came out for PC way back when it came out for Wii/PS3/360/PS2, don't you?

I was aware of GH3 being on PC.

Oh, then you were saying that they wouldn't sell in on Steam because they can't sell a guitar peripheral through Steam.... but anyway, my point was that there are people out there with PC GH controllers out there right now, and some might re-buy GH3, say, for the PC on Steam even though they already got it once.

Also, people who never got a GH on PC could buy GH on Steam and then buy the controller off of ebay or amazon.com or something separately, if they're available. And if not, Activision should just make them available for separate purchase as soon as a GH was available on Steam. Simple enough.

Now, if they were to add a way to gain extra VP for the audio portal or art portal, say (like b/p add to your exp's VP on the flash portal), I'd start paying more attention, yes.

More VP? Now THAT would be sweet. Of course, they'll need to think carefully on how to make that work well, so if they come up with any good ideas, they'll sound good.

Just saying, things like that would make me sit up and take notice. It's not that I hate audio reviews or audio responses or medal points, it's just that they don't interest me much being totally divorced from the exp/VP/b/p realm that's always been the center of my NG stat experience.

Not saying I necessarily want the 16.00 max VP barrier shattered or anything. I've worked damned hard to get around 14.14, and I don't want that be devalued overnight. #;-}>

Ewww. MARCUS got himself on Facebook, eh? Even worse fate than WOW (with presumably less redeeming qualities, too).

I'd say both are as bad as each other. We already know what WoW's like, but Facebook, when you see people in their 30's typing like morons and making groups worshipping terrible teachers from the high school they went to, you know Facebook is a terrible site.

Well, I could get it for Wylo and you get it for Sir-Nuts, I suppose. Next time there's a $5 or $10 sale on TF2, I mean.

Sounds like a plan. And the next time TF2 is on sale, I'll let a friend of mine (not Omega) know about it since he's recently looked into the game and wishes to pick it up sometime.

K, we'll see.

Still, perhaps that's what makes iscrulz almost as bad as DoD - he really does want to stay higher in the rankings than me, no matter the cost.

Well, it depends on what our definition of "as bad as" is... to me, there's no way iscrulz could ever be as bad as DoD in his response to getting passed... in terms of actual indignation and longstanding delusions of rivalry with you (I don't believe iscrulz is sincere in his, it's more of an act... DoD was very sincere, painfully so).

I pity him.

Who, iscrulz? I pity DoD. iscrulz no more can't handle being passed by you than he could not handle being put on the memberlist--which is to say, methinks he doth protest too much in both cases. He's quite the putter-on of pretenses. #;-}>

I realise the "no more can't handle" and "than he could not handle" phrasings up there are awkward, but I hope you realise what I mean by my phrasings. I suppose if it's confusing, I could say... "in truth, iscrulz can handle being passed by you just as he can handle being put on the memberlist. His protestations about you passing him are as much as an act as his years-long requests to be left off the memberlist.... just him protesting too much for the hell of it."

I do that sort of thing sometimes, too, but I don't keep up the act for years. You gotta hand it to him. #;-}>
