You won't be closing in on me any more. You are on a endless path of disappointment.

Hahahahah. Ohhhh yeahhhhhh.

You can't stop me forever.

And I don't believe he thinks he can. He's probably engaged in an all-out attempt to distract you from the fact that all he wants to do is hit 100k pentapoints before you do to have just one last massive accomplishment he can lord over you once you've passed him in everything but exp (well, and VP).

You never heard the saying about Mods, did you? Mods will help each other above all else. That accounts for Seamonky and BlueHippo on Team Coop. Also, with the help and assistance from gfoxcook and Bahamut (I know he's on my side, because I can give him access to the depths of sleaze that he really likes ;) ), I think I've got a great team.

That's not entirely true. Back when I was a mod, if a mod I didn't particularly know or like that well was in a bit of a conflict with any of you guys back when you were normal users (I refer here to all my recently-modded Wi/Ht? buds, and anyone who still isn't modded yet, of course), I'd by on the regular user's side against the mod in a heartbeat.

Hm.

Bahamut said his family went to Egypt back in May.
Is everyone in the UK going to Egypt this year or something? Is it the new IN destination or something? O_o

I don't know, I doubt I'll go there, to be honest.

Well, okay, not everyone in the UK LITERALLY, but apparently everyone in the UK that I know/talk to as of late... knows someone who just went to Egypt. I'd better ask jonthomson and liljim to see if they do as well. If they do, then I'm officially creeped out. #;-}>

gotta say, Coop, that was pretty mild compared to what you were expecting, at least.

He must be getting old :P

In any event, his response is nothing to worry about after all, just like I anticipated. Your worries were inflated! So relax and enjoy.

I didn't say you were as bad as DoD, I said I'd support Coop in smacking you down as hard as he smacked down DoD back in the day. #;-}>

Well, he knew the inevitable was coming and chickened out eventually. A shame really, because I was about to beat him on competitive terms.

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. #;-}>

Anywho, no opinion on my weird alt-alt b/p rankings fluctuations, eh? I hope someone has an idea about 'em. If nothing else, next time you update the list, Bahamut, could you let me know if anyone was deleted that you track? That's not to say that even if 0 were, people way below where you track weren't deleted, but... eh... so fucking weird. NG musta just had a hiccup for a day or two there where it wasn't keeping track of everyone with b/p, but... that's weird, too.

* just kidding here by the way. Actually, I enjoyed playing "Restistance: Fall of Men" together with my gf and before that I enjoyed playing Quake 3 together with my friends in network matches. Funny thing is that I wasn't that bad either, even though I had absoluetly no experience in those games. But in 1 on 1 matches I never got a single kill against my friends. >_>
Back to Resistance: It has pretty good graphics and I don't get motion sick even if I play it for 2 hours straight.

I wouldn't know anything about Resistance as it's on the silly ol' expensive PS3 I refuse to get, but from what I've seen of it, it looks okay. Killzone 2 looks like it could be fun, too.

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

Does Quake 3 get you motion-sick?

Back on topic: I would like to try and get more medals on Drop the bomb until a new medal game comes out. But I have to study for examns again, so not much time to waste on medal games. :(
And I think I only have medals to gain that are purely based on luck and those are no fun. :/

Eh, I've only gotten medals on 3 NG games so far. I'll get around to expanding my medal game horizones sooner or later. At least it's more fun than reviewing them. #;-}>

It is illegal to collect ANY information from anyone under 13. Every site will say you have to be 13 or older to sign up, not just Newgrounds.

Indeed. It's a product of a government thinking that if they make sites turn away under-13s, then they can somehow stop pedophiles from getting their addresses on AOL.

Yeah, but we weren't talking about your art scoutedness status, we were talking about falz3333's, who said in his OP that he had "two pieces of art up," etc. etc.

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

Normally I find your fighting a bit lame, but this back and forth has me RIVETED. Excellent television, guys!

Also the more experience points you have the largest your cock is. Thats why Cooper is a jew and has to pass me in all other stats.

.... well, currently you have more exp AND more blams. If he passes your blamcount, whatchagonnadothen, eh? Still be happy you've got him on exp? Somehow I doubt that'll be enough to comfort you, especially once his pentapoints are higher too (if that happens after the blam passage, which I doubt... it'll probably happen beforehand).

I just tuned in to see the Astros beat my Tigers damn you Astros. Is Pudge doing good for the Astros? Well Saturday and Sunday 6/27 and 6/28 games the Tigers will win them both.

My Astros beat your Tigers? Unbelievable.

Yeah, he's doing pretty solid. Our pitching just blows this year. Our offense had a slot start in April, but it's come along fairly decent. Still some issues driving in RISP, though, our LOB count is way too high at the end of most games.

Yes, I have FO3 on Steam. I played 1 and 2 back in the 90s, dude. What kind of not-knowing-about-oldschool-Fallouts noob do you take me for, eh?

No noob fer ye. Noob fer me. I didn't play PC games in the 90's oh wait GTA 1 and 2, Sim City, Duke Nukem, Nightmare Creatures or some game, Quake and DOOM. Plus others I forgot.

Yes, well... I was all over the Fallouts. I beat #1, and I think I got about halfway through FO2. If I could find my old CD-ROM of it, I'd beat it sometime. I'll have to have a look for it sometime, or else just wait till it gets on Steam (hopefully someday... it's already on some other DL site).

Those are games you DID play from the 90s? Well, better than some punkass kids these days who think they know all about gaming because their mom got 'em a PS2 when they were 3. Damned punkasses.

I would get them but my PC freezes playing music so I am not getting no games, not till I get a upgrade which I said a year ago.

Well, no getting them for me until I've beaten the main SP game.

Well, a good job that I am neither. I have plenty of faith, I just choose to maintain my faith in something that is worth believing in - me. As regards atheism, I'm not so stupid that I would rule it out, even in incontrovertible evidence presented itself. Agnostic is the term for me.

I prefer to have faith in the universe itself, for such a wonderous thing deserves it, even if it isn't always fair. And I have faith in both myself and my loved ones. I know you probably mean something similar to that, but when you say "me" all by itself, it sounds kinda lonely, man.

Every human is an agnostic at heart. The religious fanatics just refuse to admit they have that shred of doubt-yet-willingness-to-be-shown-the-tr uth deep down inside their subconscious mind.

Ever since high school (before which I was raised Catholic), I've just labeled myself a Deist and called it a day (it's good to be in such good company and to have very, very simple beliefs and faith).

Hello all and welcome to Bahamut's 2x10k Pentalist update #13!

Thanks for the update, dude.

Status changers for this update: No new changers.

Well, things are pretty sweet right now for us three folks just sitting here all alone in between 100,000 and 110,000 (seriously, #13 and #17 are right there at the extremes of that range, it's only the three of us in the middle)... nice and calm, not much going on. all of us just chugging along nice and slow.

Too bad there's some speed demons coming up from behind in the coming months. It's gonna go from NICE AND CALM to... horribly stormy SUPER fast at that point. ;_;

Anyway, thanks for capturing me at 24360 exp and 32420 saves and 105366 total pentapoints. Lots of 36iness and 42iness all around.

Hmm I passed ornery but Gagsy dropped me back to the 57th spot again. She must really have a crazy pace, considering the fact that I myself did pretty good this month with about a 45 points per day average.

Well, her 2556 haul compared to your 1371 haul would suggest nearly double your 45 ppd, yes. Maybe around 88 ppd, I'd estimate?

Yeah, that'll always do it. With the exception of those crazy postwhores and reviewwhores, b/p pace is the lifeline of the pentalist user. That's why I've barely moved since I retired in 2005.

At 6/21/09 10:10 PM, gfoxcook wrote: The old NG profile was nothing BUT left column stats, man.

That's why the left column is the REAL stats column now after the redesign. Because it inherited ALL the oldschool profile info.

So, why weren't audio reviews included in the old Pentalist at first? I know, they wheren't shown on profiles from day one, but once they have been added they where left column stats, right?

Yes, but they were never on the old profiles. So when they were added to the left column, it felt artificial.

They're there because they fit with flash reviews right above them. Doesn't mean I have to see them equally (I never took the stickerstat that seriously, either... or popularity, for that matter... and both of those were on the old profiles... exceptions that prove the rule).

And, in fact, audio reviews were added to our newfangled profiles' left columns shortly before I retired from doing the list, so... I didn't want to start making changes right at the end. Bahamut took care of the changery for me, anyway.

The rest of the new profile page is interesting, what with its expanded favourites sections and its review listings and its newsposts and all that shit, but NONE OF IT is the main core stat mothership. #;-}>

Times are changing, man.
Maybe in a few years when all those new users are what we, the regulars, are now, they will see things different.

Bah. Screw that future. I choose to write a different future: where the values we have now as NG statwhores are PRESERVED, goddamnit!

The old profile page was solid stats. All the non-stat stuff took up hardly ANY space, or was in a drop down menu (the faves, for instance). It was a thing of beauty. Man, I miss those profiles. Except for the pop-up part. I actually like the non-pop-upness of the new ones. But man, I miss the statliness, front and center. STATS WERE KING.

Yeah, the old profiles where great. I pity all those users who have never seen them, nor did never have one.

Now there's a sentiment I can get behind. Glad you came around by the end of your post. #;-}>

Well, I'm slowly closing the gap to iscrulz. Only cut it down by 925, but then again, it's coming down, which is positive. I can keep on working that over and I'm sure that both of us will disprove gfox's merry jibe that Gagsy will be the next user to 100,000 points.

Well, when I said that, I had my tongue half in cheek, at least, plus I didn't even bother to look at the list first and see who was between 70,000 and 100,000. #;-}>

Yeah, with users such as yourselves sitting there around 95k and moving upwards at a decent pace, my claim can't help but be wrong. I didn't even realise you guys were that close to 100k. Last thing I remember, I was posting with you about you having passed 88,888 and then being close to 90,000!

Anyway, just thank your lucky stars that Gagsy isn't already around 90k, because if so... then what I said probably woulda been true after all. #;-}>

OP, they just changed it so that you need 4 artworks to be scouted. Maybe anyone who was previously scouted but had less than 4 pics up = descouted automatically?

Look, I know it's just the shareware version (i.e. only the first episode, no 2nd or 3rd ones) on NG, plus it's hard to play with the default controls (I switched 'em back to how I used to Doom back in the 90s), but...

it's DOOM! How can you be bored by Doom, harbinger of all FPS that was to come? Inspiration for countless Quakes and Unreals and Half-Lifes and various other series to come? My god. ;_;

Okay, something weird is going on, and this is the topic to ask it in, I suppose...

When I was logging my data for all three of my accounts earlier, I noticed it said "CONGRATS ON ENTERING THE TOP 120,000 IN B/P RANK!" or whatever for my alt-alt gfox... and I was thinking to myself "lol, I bet it's just Casualty's old coding that congratted you whenever you passed a landmark ranking, even if you were heading in the WRONG direction (i.e. OUT of that range)".... so I checked the last few days of rank data at the bottom of my page...

20090623 B/P rank: #120491
20090624 B/P rank: #120491
20090625 B/P rank: #120182
20090626 B/P rank: #119227

.... O_O

Two straight days the rank went up. That makes no sense unless the admins are deleting a SHITton of old accounts with higher b/p than 18. Anyone know if that's true?

Anyway, I went ahead and logged my data for today:

20090627 B/P rank: #120804

And now we're back to normal. On second thought, maybe I should have posted this in the NG Log thread, but I don't think this is a NG log bug, I'm sure it actually said 119227 in my profile yesterday when I logged. The question is: why?

So he is going to be engaged for 9 years, why not since they both decided not to reproduce so why rush.

Har har. If you'd read either my announcement in LUL or my profile, you'd know we've been planning on getting married for years, we were in ye olde committed love from the very first days of our relationship, it's just that I always wanted to get married 10 years to the day of our original gettin' together, and I figured getting engaged official one year before that date works pretty well. 9 + 1 = 10. NO 9 YEAR ENGAGEMENT, foo'.

Well during our PM convos you said you wanted to be married the 10th year of being together with the your beloved. I thought you would be together for 10 years, be engaged 10 years then married 36 years.

I don't remember these PM convos you speak of, but... yes, I want to be married the 10th year of being together. 2000 + 10 = 2010. Not 2020. O_o

So again, why would we stay engaged for 10 years on top of being together for 9 (or 10) years already? That doesn't add up, dude.

Also, the only way our marriage will last exactly 36 years and no longer is if one of us dies during that year. No, I'm not 36-obsessed enough to divorce my wife at 36 years of wedded bliss JUST BECAUSE. O_o

Yeah he is a major Jewish prick. I call him whatsoever I think of when he is getting more stats than me.

That is Gus and Wally from Mission Hill, fool. Gay lovers. Kevin would love TF2.

I have no idea what Mission Hill is, izzy. That don't make me a fool, just underinformed I s'pose.

Is Kevin another character from it?

What's that, my friend gfox and I were discussing Conan. Also how much Judas Priest isn't good. Then I snooped in his posts then decided to catch-up. I will not be shut-ten up.

Lolz.

gotta say, Coop, that was pretty mild compared to what you were expecting, at least.

I guess Bahamut shut up about GTA vs. FF to keep me quiet (It would still be going to this day) or just realized GTA is fucking awesome. I will let him decide.

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? There are GH peripherals for PC already, there's no (good) reason Activision can't release it via Steam.

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.

I'm pretty sure those crashes were unrelated to the Source issues I've been having. I think they were just a one-off.

Weird that steamcommunity.com forces you to open Steam anyway when you want to do anything other than just looking at stuff....

The last thing I heard from him was hanging around on Facebook these days, which is such a big mistake, but hey, it's a +1 for me in VP and EXP ranks. :)

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

You guys should just buy it for me. Problem solved. XD

And what would you give us in return? :P We're hoping for Sir-Nuts to get the game himself besides from Steam as he claims he doesn't have any card to use to get it from there.

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.

We'll see what happens by the end of the year. I don't think it's the cash that's stopping either of them, though. For Sir-Nuts it's no credit card and for Wylo it's not seeing it at the store (where he apparently bought the far-more-expensive L4D, after all).

I'd rather have more competition in the online game distribution business. Or else Valve will turn into the next Microsoft and slowly up their licensing and certification costs.

Well I'd rather have just the one online game distribution company.

Normally I'd be with Wylo on this one, but I'm with Bahamut.

Why? Not because I love monopolies, but in this case, a monopoly favours the CONSUMER.

If there's only one major DLable game service (which alas there isn't, BTW, Wylo... there's already at least 3 other major "DL games from here" services, some of which have games that Steam doesn't, like Fallout 1 and Fallout 2)... then all the game producers/publishers that want their games available in DLable form have to go through that one monopoly, and we can get all the games we want from ONE place.

Right now, if I got all the games I want online, I'd have to sign up for two more things besides Steam, and that blows.

So instead, I just settle for not having all the games I want. :::shrugs:::

Yeah. Damned Conan haters. As for the Colbert Medic, yes, I've seen a spray of him in TF2 once.

I read things on digg, but I won't sign up for an account either. Same for Twitter.

I don't even read things on Facebook because their site is designed to be unfriendly for non-account holders (at least digg and twitter work well enough for us without having to sign up, I'll give them that).

As for stumbleupon, I actually signed up there like way back in 2002 or something, back when it was kinda a random URL roulette service (like URouLette back in the 1990s, that just took you to a random URL every time you loaded their page from your bookmarks, that was a great site).... but then it became one of many "cool" "web 2.0" social networking sites.

Heh! It'll be on sale again. Either next time they do a huge update, some random weekend, or certainly around Christmas when they discount nearly everything on Steam.

One of the great things about TF2 is I can guaran-freakin-tee you we'll still be playing it by then, no matter what. Well, barring thermonuclear war, alien invasion, or hostile takeover of Valve, I suppose.

Hell I was looking around my local big box stores and they don't carry Orange Box anymore for PC. They got it for XBox and PS3 but no PC. And they carry stupid games like Grey's Anatomy. What's up with that? Btw, I got L4D. Account name Wylo

That blows that you can't find it retail (it'd be much cheaper than L4D, BTW, but glad you got that... I'll add you next time I log in today). My fiancee got Orange Box for me a year ago (nearly to this day, it's almost my birthday again), and she ordered it about a month beforehand from amazon.

Why don't you go to amazon.com? I bet they still have it even now.

Or just DL it from Steam, of course. But for a game package as epic as the Orange Box (and for a box as epic and orange!), I understand wanting to have the physical copy.

My little Orange Box right here... :::pats it, about 2 feet to his left at the desktop::: is what got me onto the wonderful world of Steam, so I'll always pay it tribute.

Yes please. ;)

k. We'll try to keep a lookout for ya.

All they need to do is implement it into their WoW releases and BANG they got millions of users automatically.

True, but... ugh... the more I think about WOW the more I worry about whether Diablo/Starcraft/Warcraft have monthly-fee MP in their futures... ;_;

STAY FREE, BATTLE.NET! STAY FREE. ;_;

And if Blizzard really did make a Steam competitor, it'd probably have some sort of weird fee system on either the consumer or the publishers.... THEY'VE GOT THE SMELL OF BLOOD IN THEIR NOSES NOW, and there's no going back. ;_;

Well I missed another deposit yesterday due to no internet access as a result of my house move. Damn first generation iPhone and its slow Internet access. I was 10 seconds too late. Took me 50 minutes to deposit on that thing. Planning to get the Palm Pre when it comes out in Canada.

I thought iphones didn't have flash (yet). How do you even use the vote panel to deposit?

I'm gonna guess that the two sarcastic responses he got to his first newspost started his "NG user stereotype," though:

That or he's been hanging out on General too much.

Dude, only 20% of the people around here are likely to be very sarcastic with you, and even then only if you bring it on yourself. Just ask for help nicely and if someone can help you, they'll help you. Two of your three newsposts were efforts to be nice AND helpful to your fellow NGers, so... don't give up so easily because of a few people who'd rather have some fun at your expense than return the favour, yanno?

Way to over-generalise two sites at once. Not everyone on DA is a saint, not everyone on NG is a jerk.

What the heck does "[people here] only think LIKE newgrounds, not like someone ON newgrounds" mean, anyway? Really, I'm curious as fuck. Do tell. O_o

Thanks for dropping by, stranger. Good to see ya.

It really is nice to see the Wi/Ht? has a lot of new people here to carry on our legacy of stat-whoring. :)
I <3 you all.

Hey, what else would you expect? You yourself were a new person on Wi/Ht? to me once upon a time. I was a new person on Wi/Ht? to the likes of Recon and spancker and lightning and so on and so forth before that. THE CIRCLE CONTINUES... forevah.

Yes. There are both good reasons (the 3-4 month catch-up period) and bad reasons (my longwindedness) for it. Glad to have solved that mystery for you.

I was only asking anyway. I hope I didn't offend you by asking why. You don't seem like that type of person.

You didn't offend me because A) you said "no offense meant" when you asked me WTF was up with my longass quadpost, and I believed you. #;-}> and B) even if you hadn't said that or had acted upset at how long it was, I woulda written a very similar explanation.

Man i can't believe you still remember to respond to my old shitty posts from over four months ago... On to my reply. When i am joking i will use my little smiley to indicate that it was all a joke and i was just having some fun is all. I don't really recal what this whole conversation was about, something about me wanting to be a mod? I don't know at all. And i will use what ever i want and say what ever i want just to confuse you for shits and giggles @;-}

I don't have to remember to respond to anyone's posts, man. I just go into every thread, I find my last post in that thread (if I ever posted in it, obviously), and I read down from there. If I'm short on time, I scan through the pages quicker and don't read each and every single post.

Anyway, I don't remember either, but yeah, something silly like that. Are you over your moddish aspirations by now, I hope?

And I was just sarcasming, so... we're even. O_o

Got ya... i don't even know where to respond to... i'm so lost >.<

psst... when you're at a loss as to what to respond to, and what to respond with... it's time to not respond to everything in a post. This is where the SNIP tool comes in handy. I shall now use it extensively on your post:

I'm back to neutral because it looks awsome with my new knife/blade

Awesome. ANOTHER NEUTRAL FOR THE CAUSE.

WHAT IS WITH YOU AND ALWAYS MAKING JOKES THAT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE JOKES ALL OF A SUDDEN, EH? </joke>

See i am still trying to figure out what i ment in my past posts so i really could not tell you when i don't understand myself so lets move on and talk about my awsome new level and your posting begining to pick up.

See? There you go, that's exactly the right attitude.

Which makes it very, very strange that right after you typed that, you proceeded to go line by line into our Lazy Sunday vs. Mr. Pibb soft drink conversation, which went on for like 8 posts, and reply to my post from 4 months ago, then your post from 4 months ago, then my post from 3.5 months ago, then your post from 3.5 months ago, etc. etc.

If you really wanna do as I do when it comes to responding to old posts, you shouldn't reply to every single damned quoted bit of text. You need to reply to the most recently said stuff, that's all. My god, if I replied to everything (again) when doing catchups, I'd just quit NG, there'd be no point.

Mr. Pibb and Lazy Sunday are NOT the chicken and the egg.

Sure...Where did this come from >.<

That was my latest comment on the whole deal. The chicken and the egg story is an origin riddle where people can't say which truly CAME FIRST, but in the case of Mr. Pibb and Lazy Sunday, we KNOW which one came first. The freakin' drink, obviously. Mr. Pibb was known, popular, and tasty long before Lazy Sunday came about. Lazy Sunday was awesome, and it was awesome in part because Mr. Pibb was mentioned in it. Did it add to Mr. Pibb's coolness too? Perhaps. It's debateable. But even if it did, substantially... Mr. Pibb was already cool enough, so it was just icing on the cake.

Hence my closing statement (or what I thought was my closing statement):

Mr. Pibb came first. Mr. Pibb makes Lazy Sunday cool, not the other way around.

(wonder why you didn't reply to that part when you'd replied to 5 straight super-old quotes as opposed to my line above from earlier this week O_o)

</end of insanely pointless yet ever so fun Mr. Pibb/Lazy Sunday debate, unless you insist...>

Oh you not even the great GFox can do that @-;-}

Indeed. My exact point... very few can. Not even Pimp.

I'm going to try but i don't know where i will be in 7 and a half years... i find myself needing longer and longer breaks from posting here....time will tell if i stay or go.

Well, do you deposit your exp when you take a break from posting?

I do. Pimp does. Many others do. Even more others do not. There is the definining choice in the life of a statwhore NGer. So... where do you fit in that spectrum?

My record for longest consecutively is Fallout 3 I played it for practically 2 days straight only sleeping.

I played Might and Magic 6 once for 32 straight hours (no sleeping, only food, drink, and bathroom breaks). That's my record.

Hmm maybe that's why I think it sucks I only played one game in might have been X-2, Not. Every game frickin sucks monkey cum down.

LOL. You're such a baha-tease.

He won't be playing FF 13 because it is on the PS3 and hopefully not Steam or a PC version.

Not at first. It'll either come to PC eventually, or I'll buy a PS3 in a few years when Sony is paying us gamers to take the unsold POS off their hands.

I get out of hand sometimes but in the end FF down right simply sucks.

OMG, Bahamut, he admitted to going a bit too far with that one (saying FF was beneath Big Rig + E.T.). Quote that, print it, frame it. You may never get another chance. o_o

Okay but get the PS3 first don't listen to gfox he doesn't know anything about the PS3.

I know it's overrated, I know hardly anyone bought one because it's overpriced, and I know I don't give a shit about blu-ray.

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)

2010 I am hoping. September 09 is way to close. The member list is suppose to be sacred, elite and envied. Hell I don't deserve to be on it. I wouldn't have made it on that listen if only 3 people were ascended. Was I an exception to that tradition?

No, he means 09, but I agree. He should wait till January 2010.

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

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

Damn Bahamut needs to get a PS3 and you need to throw your PS3 hatred in the fucking trash. He should get FO3 no matter how. Him and his OCD and guidelines and planning to play games in order. The other dragons of the world will come and smack him up if he doesn't get FO 3 soon.

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

If he gets a PS3, he's going to get games like FO3 for the PS3. That's only one step away from him getting games that have MP for PS3 instead of Steam, where he can play them with me. So I have a vested interest in keeping him on the PC and away from that evil whore of a console. #;-}>

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.

Your Dream will never come true me and other FF haters posers or true anti-FF fans will never join hands and agree that FF rules. FF fucking sucks.

FF haters posers? What?

Fuck you I tried my hardest. I need to be more apathetic.

Yes, you do.

I must tell because it IS NOT A spoiler. I was stuck in my bedroom in Megaton and he wouldn't leave, I told him to scram, I tried pushing him, fighting but Fawkes was stuck. Oh and reverting to a manual save was out of the question.

Oh, well then. If he was stuck in your bedroom, that's understandable, then.

I guess he doesn't have a "go wait here for me" option like Dogmeat has, eh?

I wonder if the DSi would bring it in higher quality if so I might get one.

Don't get Bahamut started on the DSi.

I thought he would piss me off by bashing GTA because I bash FF. Well I have Cooper to fight these days. And you if you don't acknowledge that Edguy is better than Dio.

I haven't heard them yet, so I have no opinion on whether they're better than Dio or not.

Unlike you, who hasn't played enough FF to truly know whether FF is good or not as a WHOLE, I reserve judgement till I have enough data to make one. O_o

A) has no intention of ever opening his mind to the possibility that at least SOME FF games might be fun to him.

Anime or anime related equals fail. Turn based strategy is gay. I hate all strategy game ( I admit I am to stupid and lazy mostly the former).

FF isn't turn-based strategy. Except for FF tactics and the FF12 DS game, at least. O_o

And pre-FF7 isn't anime related. FF1-6 are just awesome oldschool NES and SNES RPGs, there's no animeness to them till the FMV came in during FF7.

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

There is nothing in it for me to like the closest I came was the NG game Epic battle Fantasy to liking a FF game.

:::shrugs::: Fair enough. But you should work on replacing your hatred with apathy as a result of that.

C) will continue to keep bashing FF even if he actually DID play FF and enjoy it secretly

If this was true I would still continue to bash it to rile up the FF fanboys. Although I wouldn't go out of my way to go to FF forums and threads and troll them.

That's exactly why I told Bahamut that one. I'll bet it is true, in fact.

The answer is A and B and the first part of C.

The REAL answer is the last part of C.

My hatred of FF grows with each lashing. ::Thinks about how much he gets pleasure from bashing FF and fantasize about GTA and FO3 mix and match games::

You sick bastard.

if you remember GTA 3 and Liberty City Stories how the map was upside down for LCS.

I never played Liberty City Stories, man. And the map in VCS was the same as the map in VC, so... WTF?

Listen up Bethesda make the FO3 co-op MP.

Indeed. First thing you've said with some SENSE in it this week, you damned pro-PS3/anti-FF whore! #;-}>

I would say Natal but you don't have 360 or will ever get one.

Natal? I'm actually more likely at the moment to get a 360 than a PS3. 0.05% chance compared to 0.01% chance, mind you.

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

I will petition to have myself removed and banished.

Failpetition.

hahahahahahah... ahahah... hahah... (gasp)... hahah.

Damn it its not funny I thought only a few people would vote for me. I wish I knew who but I am not curious enough to guess.

I bribed half the membership. It was glorious.

I had to. Now I am going to yell at the ones that voted for me. Show yourself.

My money purchased their silence as well!

Don't act like you're rich, now! </sprankton>

From chewing too much what.

A disease you get, yes.

A first look at GTA V fap to this my boys. In the mean time The Ballad of Gay Tony is X-box exclusive. I fucking hate Microsoft so fucking much. Project Natal looks fucking kick ass though its a code name so its going to be called something something gay. Revolution > Wii. I am thinking X-live sorry I can't think of anything witty.

The pic says GTA IV: VC, not GTA V. And man, that would fucking rock.

I already have GTA IV, FO3, Bioshock 1 (and will have 2) on Steam.

I don't give a shit about Pure, Infamous, GOW III, MGS4, and Agent.

So... looks like I don't need a PS3, eh? Glad that's all straightened out.

I'll admit I've downvoted things on say the top 50 flash submissions list to try and keep things I love on it (like back in the days when there were a couple of BEEBO flashes up there... as opposed to down around #1000 or so like they are nowadays. ;_;), but I always downvote with 2-3-4, something close to what something deserves, or maybe 1 score under it. Something should only get a 0 or 1 if it deserved to get a 0 or 1 while it was UJ, IMO. Same goes for audio, even if it doesn't have an UJ period. #;-}>

Way to assume everyone is a sheep because no one's raging against the machine quite as hard as you are, and way to give us the benefit of the doubt re: our votes on your stuff. I'd be upvoting it right now, but I can't, since you hid it. :::shrugs:::

You can't do that on youtube either. ;)

So why do people keep submitting stuff like music clips they didn't make and stuff like that?

Because YouTube is shit and it doesn't remove copyrighted material unless the author(s) claim(s) it. NG is different though, you'll always get your audio deleted if it's not your own. For more information, read the "audio information" at the bottom of the audio submitting page.

That's not because YouTube is shit (though many people say it is, and there certainly are a hell of a lot of commenters working every day to make it as shitty as possible), it's because YouTube is about 10,000x as busy as NG.

If NG had as much flash/audio portal submissions as youtube has new videos coming in every day... NG would start to remove copyrighted things slower, too.

To stay on top of things as well as NG does (which isn't 100%, but is pretty well), YouTube would need to be 50% mods/admins, 50% submitters.

Wait, if you have a problem finding the latest update in the current stat threads, why on earth did you start this topic asking for them to be consolidated into a single MEGAstat thread? As previous people have pointed out, that would make finding the one list you're looking for even HARDER than it already is to find the latest update.

There is no post editing on NG BBS unless you're an admin, even mods can't do it. And if we could edit the first post of stat threads, it would ruin the historicness of that first page of the thread, something some of us cherish due to nostalgia.

Anyway, you're having a problem finding a list? Metal Therapy said it best:

At 6/25/09 04:34 AM, Metal-Therapy wrote: Just click on the latest page. If it's not there, then simply work your way backwards until you find the last update posted...

If you need more help than that, scan the pages with page up or page down on your keyboard, a list looks VERY DIFFERENT from normal posts in a list topic, you can't miss them.... If you don't see a list on the latest page while scanning it quickly, don't rescan it at a slower speed, you didn't miss it, it just isn't there. Move onwards (backwards) like Metal said and rinse and repeat with the quick page scanning.

Hell, some lists aren't just more noticeable (plaintext lists with dozens if not hundreds of lines of neatly arranged data), some are INSANELY more noticeable (any list with URLs to everyone's profiles, for starters).
