Because they're scumbags. The way my dad drinks far too much, snores so often without doing anything about it or apologising, my mum letting him do what he wants and worst of all, lying about what other people have done. The fact my mum lied about what one of my friend's dad did was despicable....

Okay, I'll give you the drinking, and... I dunno what happened with your mom lying and all, but none of my business, so... you feel how you want to feel.

Well there is "Wake up dead man". And at 3:25 it sounds very similar to the intro of Ultraviolet although the lyrics are slighty different. But it´s the same melody.

For the rest I can hardly follow the lyrics because of two voices singing different things.

Don´t know many of the B-sides of U2 singles either, although I like Salome and right now I´m listening to Big Girls are Best which sounds really good. To my suprise it´s the B-side of Stuck in a Moment while it sounds like it comes straight from the AB era.

You mean he actually sang the "wake up dead man" chorus? Because if so, I didn't notice. Maybe due to the whole insanity of hearing those lyrics over THAT music that I know so well, as it's my fave b-side of theirs. #;-}>

And yeah, I have Salome and BGAB among many many others. But Lady with the Spinning Head stands alone as my fave b-side of the 90s AND overall. Party Girl and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock are my fave b-sides from the 80s, and they're both on Under a Blood Red Sky, so I can listen to 'em without having to have all the singles from that era (I only have a few pre-Joshua Tree singles... maybe 2-3... versus 10+ singles from Joshua Tree onwards).

Anyway, wild. So glad they kept the music and changed the lyrics.

Yeah true, I didn´t like the lyrics that much either. Also the "ssshhhhh" in some of Bono´s vocals hurt my ears a bit =/ But that could be because of bad recording.

Anyway when searching for the song again, I found this. Seems like an even earlier version of the other take you down song. Although it doesn´t really sound the same.

You can hear some parts of Until the End of the World. And you can even hear Bono giving instructions to the band. Somewhere near the end at about 5:00 also seems to sound a bit familiar...

Anyway, it seems like they really wanted to have Take You Down on AB, but derived half of the album from that song instead.

Hah! For the first minute and a half, it's a really weird un-U2-like song to me... then literally at 1:30, boom.. there's the guitar licks from Until the End of the World like you promised. So very strange and jarring... then Bono starts singing again, and both the vocals AND the music stop sounding U2ish again. And then eventually it gets back to the UTWOTW guitar licks again, so... hm.

You have to wonder how much of what you think of what a band sounds like is from what they're really like, soundwise, and how much is from just you having their existing music in your head.

... still, if it's just the latter, then every new album would sound unlike them at first unless they're just rehashing old stuff... so I don't quite buy that. Plus, I can hear a U2 influence on many other bands, so... why would they sound like U2 to me if ... yeah, well, anyway. You get the point. #;-}>

$0 on PC. There will be a charge on XB360.

Yes, but... now you don´t have any achievements to aim for ;)

(lol)

What do you mean? There's currently 245 TF2 achievements on PC, and I have 212 of them (so still 33 of them I'm trying to get, and I've got a good shot at least 10 more, but then they start to get impossible for me personally, too many hard medic and spy ones, mostly).

Meanwhile, X-Box 360 users are waiting for all their updates at once and either will have to pay money for them + get achievements... or else apparently the way it works is if Valve wants the updates to be free, the MS says Valve can't put any achievements in.

So I'm not quite sure what you meant by the above. O_o

Besides, I thought you were talking about potentially getting the PC version like Sir Nuts. If you'd be getting the 360 version, then that's very disappointing. Not only is there the whole no-updates-so-far thing... but there's the whole playing-with-a-gamepad thing.... and the whole not-playing-on-the-same-servers-as-me-an d-Bahamut thing, too, worst of all. #;-}>

Yep. The other term was hand-and-one-half Sword, but it never really caught on. Since a mule is also termed a bastard, because it's neither a horse, nor a donkey. I think that's where the old English is derived.

Good stuff, good stuff.

All I know is that whatever its name had ended up being, it's a badass type of European sword.

Eh. I've already said why 37777 doesn't bother me. I'd bother me on MY account, that's for sure, but he can do what he likes. Hell, like he said, I even suggested it. The even 40,000 on the other stat helps balance it out. The main thing to him was the 77,777 total, after all.

Oh. I guess something about the way you and Bahamut were talking back and forth and one of ya mentioned some "Raven" and I probably didn't see all of the conversation because I was just reading the (presumably somewhat edited/trimmed/cropped/whathaveyou) quotes after the fact made me misinterp ya.

Anyway, is Raven's namechangery what inspired Bahamut to start wanting to do that, too, or is it just a coincidence?

I BLEW YER MIND.

I love your latest catch-ups.

You love that I did them, that I'm doing them so rapidly (this is two catch-ups in a row that I've replied again in the same threads about 1-2 days later, after all), or the content of them?

So we'll see. How long do I have until I have to make a decision on gfox, I wonder. Also, I'll need to find a good # for him to stop at within the (current?) level 42 range.

You have 77 days to decide. Well, that's how long you are until you lose the sword, so choose QUICKLY!

18,830 / 19,580

Hmmmm. It is indeed an urgent situation. I'm about to pass one of the numbers that immediately comes to mind.

18,880, if you hadn't guessed.

Beyond that, there's 19,000.... 19,240, 19,360, and 19,420... and I'd say that's about it.

So there we go. I've got 5 numbers to choose from.

Lemme see if which dates I'll be hitting each of them sways me one way or the other with some sort of numerical (or historical) significance:

18,880 - June 28th
19,000 - July 10th
19,240 - August 3rd
19,360 - August 15th
19,420 - August 21st

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. #;-}>

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 might work gfox up to 36/36 if so.

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).

EPIC. #;-}>

Looking up I see my next target is fixit (wasn't he a top 5 bp'er once?).

Hahah.... A top 5? Man, try top 1!

fixit passed ramagi in late 2003 to become #1. Then she passed him back in mid-2004 to retake #1.

Hell, I just posted a pic someone made of me fighting a robot with "fixit" on its forehead over in the screenshot thread (first post's pic on the below page):

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/8860 83/58

That was probably made around the time I was passing fixit on the b/p rankings, which woulda been when he was already down to #2... I think so, yeah, I think I passed him for #2.

And ever since ramagi and I passed that robotic bastard, it's been a rite of passage for all Elite Guard Supreme Commanders to kick the robot down another slot on their way up into the heavens of the b/p stratosphere.

If I can come up with a similar pace I had this week, I might be able to pass him before the next update. However, I don't think that's gonna happen looking at my exam shedule. The week after is gonna be even busier and then I'll be going on vacation. But I probably will have surpassed him by then.

If you have a great day and I have a crappy day, of course you're going to get to 72k first.

And I have a great day and you don't, then... I stand a pretty decent shot of retiring before you get there. So we'll see!

Keep in mind, also, that while I'm not retiring my blams at a # and thus don't have to worry about blam overshoot, I will still be doing a slow approach to my final savecount JUST IN CASE some weird "flagged movie gets cleared and I suddenly get a save" bullcrap happens like happened when I retired at 24k saves and ramagi got Wade to fix it for me.

The page 1 layout or the page 2 layout? Page 1 layout was fine, but I like today's colours better. Page 2 layout is nice and black and simple, but I think the slightly more modern layouts of page 1 and the redesign are superior, colours aside.

Page 1 lay-out. I´ve never witnessed the page 2 lay-out since that was from before 2004(?).

Oh, you witnessed the page 2 layout, too. Not on the main portal and frontpage and bbs pages, no, but think of the profiles back during page 1 layout days. the profiles were still black background page 2 layout profiles.

That was one of the main problems (or benefits, for people like me who were a fan of the nice black backgrounds of 2003 NG) with the 2004-2005 era NG look... the admins had revamped a lot of the site, most of the main areas, but there were still tons of back areas (like top 50 lists, error pages, lots of other little-seen pages, plus profiles, which were the most notable thing, probably) that were on the OLD layout while this new layout had been unveiled.

That's one of the main reasons, probably, that they waited so long to get the redesign in 2007 done right. They wanted to make sure they could get the CSS every-single-damned-page-has-been-redesi gned plan to go off without a hitch. And yeah, there were some bugs and issues, but layout wise, they definitely succeeded at changing the entire look of the ENTIRE site, instead of just part of it like in previous redesigns.

What I liked about the page 1 lay-out is that everything seems so simple and compact. Nowadays everything seems so much bigger and there are so many new links and options on every page.

Well, even the old layout would have gotten more and more crowded and cramped as time went by. Much like our desktops, harddrives, inboxes, etc.... a website like NG is just gonna end up with more features, areas, links, sections, etc. as time goes by. It's the curse of computer bloat. #;-}>

I thought it was pretty clever myself, but I'd rather Blizzard (or Activision Blizzard?) put their games on Steam rather than making their own product. It makes things convenient for us all.

Oh, of course. Hell, if EA's Spore is all over Steam now when it wasn't when it was new, there's hope for all games, I suppose... because I think I heard that one would never be coming to Steam when it was not even out yet and everyone (but me) was using the creature creator thingiemabob and all. But... clearly rumours aren't always accurate in the end. Or things just change. Either way.

But anywho... I don't know if Blizzard (or Activision) is ever going to agree to that. We'll see.

And then you went and said you only care about stats on the left column. Are you ever happy? :P

There's nothing inconsistent about my two statements.

Stats on the left column ARE all I care about. But if I have to choose between putting up with you adding medal points to the pentalist or medalS themselves to it, it only makes sense for me to choose the lesser of two evils: I would mind medals being on it a lot less than medal points being on it.

(like when I had to accept that audio reviews were coming to the pentalist one way or the other)

Bah. A minor inconvenience. It doesn't stop you playing games, that's the main thing.

But the lag issues are becoming more of a burden each day. Reinstalling Steam did jack shit, but I'm going to see how my sister copes with Source engine games as she's home this week. If she suffers the same problem, then I think it's to do with the modem speed, which is 1/2MB. Forgot how much exactly now but my ISP don't offer cable anymore, so we should upgrade soon.

Maybe all these Steam issues, and your two crashes earlier tonight (especially since I didn't crash or even lose connection to the Steam community servers)... are all connected. It sucks if your in-game issues in Valve games spreads out into your general Steam chat/browser experience, but.... maybe there's a fix for it. Hopefully your ISP upgrade will do it, but if not, you've really got to get some direct customer support from Valve.

It is... well enough about this because this makes me feel like i have no life outside of here and it is just beging of summer for me so i get board some days. Get off my back about this thing @;-}

Heh. Oh, I'm sure you have a life. But one of the goals of us Wi/Ht?ers is to sap the life out of everyone who falls into our little trap here, so... I'm afraid it won't last for long. MWAHAHAHAaaaa... yeah.

This topic's really one of the many perpetually-active topics we have on Wi/Ht?. It's not the same sort of straightforward stat list topics that get updated on a regular schedule and thus the listmaker is always bumping them even if the people just talking in them or appreciating the lists aren't... but it IS basically a chain of posts, many with pictures, and then a list every page of those pictures with descriptions, so... never feel bad about bumping it.

Can I ask you a question? Why is it the majority of your posts are EXTREMELY long? I'm not moaning I'd just thought I'd ask. Haha

Well, Jonny Turntable, it's a long story (harrrrr), but there's really two simple reasons:

A) I'm a longwinded bastard. Have been since at least the 90s as a teen, when I first got on the intrawebs in 1994ish. Yes, I was this way writing papers in school back in the 90s, too, which was no good.

B) If you looked at what I was quoting in those big-ass posts, you'd see it was stuff going back all the way to March. I hadn't posted in this topic in over 3 months.

100ish days to catch-up on + longwinded gfox posting style = a bad combination if you'd rather my posts be shorter. I know you said you weren't moanin' and bitchin', but I'd understand if you were. #;-}> Anywho, sorry about that, but I'm trying to catch up more often for a bit here, and if I'm successful, you should see only ONE big-ass post from me every few days rather than 3-4 big-ass posts from me every few MONTHS (which, I might point out, is actually more text in the long run, but in easier-to-swallow bitesize chunks, I suppose).

Hurrrrr. #;-}>

The only thing that really creeped me out was the first Poltergeist movie, I think I was 9 when I watched it (or 10... or 12, can't remember, but definetly pretty young). Haven't seen the movie since, so I don't exactly know what creeped me out. But I never had nightmares from those things.

I never say that, and I'm sure if I did now it wouldn't have the same effect on me that It had back in the day. I saw the It movie or miniseries or whatever, BTW, and while it was creepy, it was nowhere near as scary as the book was. Left less to the imagination, I guess. But then, that's true of almost any movie vs. the book version, yet it was far more true (for me, at least) in the case of It above all others.

And I read IT around the same age as you did. ^^

And it paled in comparison to the Poltergeist movie for ya, eh? Well, you did just say you saw Poltergeist probably 1-4 years earlier than we both read It, age-wise, so I guess that would make sense. The younger you are, the worse you scare. #;-}>

Well, there's still about 950 saves worth of 37ness for me to retire on if he doesn't catch up :P

Well, I already plan to retire at 37777, so I think that's enough for 37ness in saves, even if gfox himself suggested that save retire count.

A) it's your account, and you claim to LIKE 37, so what do I care if you retire on a number with 37 in it?

B) to me, the 7777 is far more a strong feature of that number than the 37 thousand part of it.

C) A number like 33,337 would be far worse to me. An actual 37 at the END of a number* (or a 37 on its own, of course, the very worst of all) is far far far worse than a number that just happens to have a 37 in the middle like a 423765, say, or your 37777 retirement number.

Where in that sentence did I say more catch-up HERE IN LUL, dude? I only posted in LUL because I had time for one post, wanted to mention my root canal, and thought it made more sense to pop in here quick and moan about it than do so in the pentalist topic, say.

I meant and fully intended that any and all catchup later on that day and in the coming days would be in other topics of Wi/Ht? first, not in LUL. That's why I mentioned the "6 pages of Wi/Ht? left," I mean I was up from like page 15 all the way up to page 6... earlier today I finally got down to page 2, BTW, and then into page 1, and... yes, now I am done once I finish with the LUL catchup, which I usually save for the very end, if I'm not just doing it on its own (like I was a couple weeks ago). LUL is always on page 1, so if I talk about being back on page 3 or 5 or 6 or whatever, that means I'm dealing with Q&A topics and stat/list threads with less activity than EGRL and LUL.

Take You Down. I see some comments claiming that it was a very early Achtung Baby try-out. Has bits and pieces from the solo´s of Lady with the Spinning Head, The Fly and Ultraviolet somewhere.

Holy shit. The music is almost identical to the 4 minute Lady... but the vocals... the two vox at once thing is very experimental, so it's no wonder THAT version of Lady never made it onto AB (still wish the final version had), and... I don't think the words are anywhere near as fun/cool sounding as Lady's... also, there's one spot in the song that really reminds me of another U2 song's lyrics... can't put my finger on it. May be another b-side, in fact. Ugh... can't figure it out.

Anyway, wild. So glad they kept the music and changed the lyrics.

Well, you COULD say that, but you have to remember that Valve keeps adding stuff to TF2 and changing how the classes work, and there's constantly new custom maps being made by TF2 players.

But I decided to watch some HVGN videos instead. Not as good as AVGN, but still good enough to fill the gap until a new AVGN episode is released. :)

It's not easy making a review of good games, but HVGN does his best and is the best AVGN tribute out there. Infact, there's a lot of other great video game reviewers out there and we owe it all to AVGN. :)

WTF? You know, AVGN did NOT invent the video game review. There were video game reviews (and video game reviewers, obviously) before he was out of diapers, if not before he was born. Stop giving him so much damned credit!

You once said to me on Steam it'll stop at level 42.

it'll stop, as in gfox'll stop? I don't remember saying that would happen for SURE, but that is a good idea, yes. I could always retire gfoxclock at 36,000 exp, gfox at lv 42, and gfoxcook NEVAR. That seems to be the most fitting end (or lack thereof) for each account.

So we'll see. How long do I have until I have to make a decision on gfox, I wonder. Also, I'll need to find a good # for him to stop at within the (current?) level 42 range.

If Pimp hitting level 60 fucks the whole exp world upside down, I'll have to resume depostering for gfox occasionally to keep him in the level 42 range, of course.

The Bastard Sword, what a nice weapon.

Glorious, glorious day! Congrats, man. Enjoy her while she lasts... in all her bastardy glory.

I may be forgetting/twisting my sword name etymology, but was it not called a bastard sword because the hilt wasn't quite a 2-handed length hilt, and wasn't quite a 1-handed length hilt, and thus kinda 1.5-handed, and thus a "bastard" between the two proper lengths?

Yeah, then the Nuggets would have won in the West and would have beaten the Magic for their first franchise title.

Hey now. I think we woulda taken them same as the Lakers did.

I think there were two teams in the playoffs this year that could have beaten us - LA and Cleveland

LA vs Utah: 5 games (4-1)
LA vs Houston: 7 games (4-3)
LA vs Denver: 6 games (4-2)
LA vs Orlando: 5 games (4-1)

Houston was 2nd place of 2009, AFAIAC. And might I mention that 2 out of 3 wins Houston had over LA in the hardest series they had to go through in the entire playoffs... we were without Yao Ming AND Tracy McGrady. Almost fucking BEAT their asses. Almost isn't good enough, but still. 7th game doesn't lie. We pushed them to the brink of elimination. It was win or go home for them too that night. No other team did that to them this year.

And yes, maybe Cleveland could have done it to them, but then why the hell didn't they take care of Orlando? Craziest result of the entire postseason, IMO. WTF were they doing... crazy Cavs.

Nope, The Lost and the Damned isn't available for PC yet. I'm not too sure if it will be on PC someday, but if it is I might as well get the PC port of GTA4 soon.

Assfuck. They better change that and QUICK.

I've heard mixed things about MGS4, actually. Some people compare it to watching a semi-interactive movie... say that it's too linear and not really that fun, though it is pretty and all.

Fuck the naysayers, there has been no better way to conclude a saga in the video game industry, even though Kojima is working on TWO MORE GAMES! It's good to hear we're getting new games and all, but he claimed he was going to retire after MGS4 is released. One year after the release and he's working on two more games. I just wish these people could make up their damn minds. :P

Wait, how do you have such an opinion about it being the best way to conclude the MGS series? I thought you didn't have a PS3. I take it you've played MGS4 at your sister's or a friend's place?

In any event, I was never that much of a MGS fan. I only have 1, and while it was okay, it's nothing that special. Metal Gear for the NES was an epic (and insanely hard) game back in the day, but the "Solid" series is mostly just an interactive anime-ish movie. No big deal.

:::ducks:::

Seriously, though, just think about the freedom of motion/exploration/doing things multiple ways you have in games like Fallout 3 (well, if you'd GET IT and try it out), and to a lesser degree Bioshock... and to an even lesser degree, Half-Life 2... and how MGS lacks even the semi-freedom of mostly-linear HL2.

LittleBigPlanet is a way bigger selling point for a PS3 than MGS4 is all I'm sayin' here. I wish they'd put LBP on Steam. You KNOW it would do well. Damned ungreedy-enough bastards. #;-}>

Then that's one less PS3 exclusive and one less reason to get the console. :(

Exactly. And thus a win for Steam and for me. #;-}>

(and for you, but you just don't realise it yet)

I'm becoming more and more inclined to never get a PS3 until it's cheaper than a Wii (or at least... until I can get one for less $ than I paid for the Wii when we got it in 2007), which is never going to happen (or not for a long time, in the case of my clarification in parentheses above). It has less value to me than our Wii, so... why bother?

Yeah, I just about got to 10k saves by the time you did the final stat pull for your last update. I remember because I was racing to cross the proverbial finishing line so that I could be included in the almighty gfox retirement update... and I was. ;P

Ah yes. I vaguely remember that, but I think there were at least 2-3 people trying to either get to 1x10k or 2x10k in time for my final update, so I couldn't remember who was whom. Was Haggard one of the others along with you? I think that sounds right.

Go for it. Just a quick doubleclick on the name and a paste to the right.

It's one thing to make some mild Jew jokes about a non-Jew in fun, but to start dragging the Holocaust into it is a bit far even for un-offendable me. And in exceptionally poor taste, even for iscrulz. ;_;

Cool. Just 3, eh? Amazingly low. It might not be quite safe to go full steam ahead on getting blams again, since sometimes it takes amazingly long for some blams to get cleared, but you could probably edge a little closer, at least.

As for saves, if you already got 1 on purpose to go up from 25 left to 24 left, why not go ahead and slowly save a few here and there that REALLY deserve a save from your main (big, epic flashes, I mean), and get up to say around 10 or 5 saves away.

You need to click on certain objects in the frame at specific moments in the flash.

How do you know when? Well, if you want to do it the hard way, you can look at the clues for the medals and just click on things that have something to do with the picture or the text description for the 8 medals...

If you want to do it in another hard way, you can just watch ALL the videos in the collab, and click at anything that looks interesting (but there's plenty of things that fit THAT description, and hardly any of them are going to do anything special)...

And if you want to do it the EASY way, then you can watch all the videos in the collab, and while you're watching them, tap or hold the TAB button on your keyboard nearly constantly. It will highlight any special hidden links/easter eggs that you can't find on your own. Boom, bim, bingo.

So yes, threats are pretty much prohibited. I don't know about using racist language though.

It's probably okay on a userpage as long as you're not advocating murder or other crimes be perpetrated against someone/some group of people.

Now there's absolutely no list at all on page 55.

It would be so much easier if he were a mod and could mod the topic himself so he'd know if such a thing happened. ;_;

In the meantime: If any mod deletes a post from before the current page's content list, they should really tell him immediately, also, so he can repost the list if necessary on the current page before it's too late like in the case of page 55. Personally, I think a whole 30-post page with no contents list is far far worse than a page with a content list 1 or 2 posts from the top, in short.

Weird how the first page is in the former lay-out of the BBS and the second page takes me one step further back to how the forum still had a black background.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. And of course it's problematic that only SOME pictures load and others don't. A real pity. But anyway, as was probably clear to you, my quest became a compulsion just to FIND the damned thread, and by the time I found it I was too exhausted to want to look at all the posts and pictures anyway.

I still can't believe someone deleted it. I hope I never find out which mod or admin did it, because it would forever taint my feelings towards them. ;_;

It seems like a nice topic by the way, but a bit silly :p I bet nowadays topics like that would get locked within 5 minutes and everybody would be banned.

Sure it was silly, but back in 2003, silly was king. And good-natured silliness, especially. 3-4 years later, topics may have been less silly, but a lot of them (on General, I mean) were way more mean-spirited and far less funny (to me, at least).

Anyway, you can't truly judge that topic unless you can see all the pictures that bartard and HeReTiK made.

Some of the pictures on this page of bartard's post history provide a pretty good idea of what his were like:

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/search/aut hor/bartard/13

However, most of Heretik's good ones were in THE THREAD that was deleted, so there's no way I can show you what they were like. Take bartard's pics, but add 3x as much funny, and 10x as much twistedness.

The humour was from him taking situations that bartard had depicted in MS paint and turning them on their heads... he'd put bartard and the other "characters" in bartard's pics into situations where the tables were turned and they were about to get pwned (or already pwned), and the ways in which the little level icon characters would get killed or tortured were very well depicted (for MS paint, that is #;-}>)...

Oh, it's too hard to explain. You had to be there. ;_;

Anyway this old lay-out brings back memories. Everything looked pretty nice back then actually, wouldn´t even mind if we went back to it. Also I love how you can still open peoples profiles.

The page 1 layout or the page 2 layout? Page 1 layout was fine, but I like today's colours better. Page 2 layout is nice and black and simple, but I think the slightly more modern layouts of page 1 and the redesign are superior, colours aside.

Freakin' hell. somehow I didn't go to this tab when I was assembling the multi-quote reply. Arhgghgh. Oh well, even though I thought all the replies would fit EASY into one post, I shoulda split it into two posts as I usually do when separate update-related post + convo post situations exist... as one did today. ;_;

We keep ours in all the time, too, but we have to... battery's fucked. Used to be fucked in a "won't run the laptop for longer than 45 minutes" way... now it's fucked in a "laptop doesn't think the battery exists, will turn off if unplugged from wall" way. heh.

OK, now THAT'S fucked up. Unless it's your old laptop, it really could do with being looked into.

Yep. Well, it's from 2005. Dunno if you consider that old. It's past its warranty, so there's not much that can be done, aside from ordering a brand new battery from Dell. Which I suppose we need to do sooner or later. Anyway, we just use the laptop plugged in at the couch, for the most part. It's got a little table it sits on that can be moved around easily and goes over your lap while you're sitting on the couch. Easy to use it like that, just not very portable (for a laptop).

Mmmmm... tastiest number.... probably a 3. It looks like a nice puffy pair of buns. o_o

That's a reasonable answer.

Thank you. Do you have your own idea of a tastiest number? If you already said, I've clearly forgotten, so remind me.

4 looks like it could be something tasty, too, but I'm not sure what. Maybe a nice triangle-sliced grilled chese sandwich.

Meh, since then the next gang of green plan was screwed up, so we've got to let it go. Heh, you might as well try and arrange a gang of gold.

Bah. Funk dat.

Lucozade sounds like a nasty medicinal syrup or something.

It's a nice energy drink, but Relentless beats it.

I'm sure they're both fine, I'm just commenting on the horrible name for the former. Relentness sounds all super trendy, but at least it SOUNDS like an energy drink, unlike the former (to me).

Well, it's made by a pharaceutical company - it's basically fizzy glucose, that helps people get their energy levels up quicker. I was on some after some particularly hard work. I think it was cycling to work and cricket training all together.

Well, let me be even more specific and say that it sounds like something sick people would be prescribed, not something to drink for the taste/energy. O_o

Do you know what the Luco or Lucoz root means?

Gatorade is a fucked up term here in America, but at least I know the origin of it (the Florida Gators football team).

Eh, he'll return it to the store after another month or so. They're overrated.

For the next update I expect to climb at least two ranks, possibly three. Then only 9 more ranks and I´ll be in top 100 :)

I was hoping that more people than just you and I would have been interested in Blams, but alas.

Anyway, I hope this is not discouraging to you or anything.

Well, if Coop's anything like me and Dogma before him, he'd never stop one of the twin lists without stopping the other. So the real danger is if both the save list thread AND the blam list thread died together. Then he'd be discouraged, yes. But as long as ONE of them is doing okay, he'll have the strength to carry on. :::nods:::

Seeing how users like you and NEVR are having so much trouble trying to get their blam count up, I sure am glad I started bp'ing a long while before the whole saving madness began after Clock Day '07.

Yes, I'm very happy that I got all 36,000 of my blams in the old blamflated 2003, 2004, and 2005 days.

There were more blams to get in any of those individual years than there were in 2007, 2008, and 2009 COMBINED.

Oh noe, only 10ish blams in a day. O_o

Dude, I'm pretty sure there are some who would kill for 8 blams in a day about now with their current blam rates. #;-}>

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.

I was hoping Bahamut was going to stop by and perhaps even gfoxcook - he made time to posts some updates, but not all of them. He even posted on the Art Portal thread, dammit!

GODDAMNIT, stop rubbing it in how much I have failed you. ;_; I'm here, damnit!

Also, I posted in the Art Portal thread because it was an interesting front page news thread.

I think I've only posted in 3 of them this calendar year. I used to post in them like 20 times a year back in the day, but lately most of them just don't interest me, so... when one comes along I like, I gotta jump on while it's fresh. News topics are like butterflies, yanno... ephemeral and fun to chase. #;-}>

Yeah, that's similar for me. If I'd have started B/Ping on day 1 of my Newgrounds account, I'd have been so much closer to iscrulz' B/P total now, that I'd have made him go even further with his hatred of me and his idea that I am actually Jewish.

Not that there's anything wrong with it... though you wouldn't know that from his diatribe-filled posts aimed at your faux-Jewishness. o_o

I hope no impressionable, young skinheads-in-waiting are reading iscrulz's posts like he's some sort of god amongst men. ;_;

True enough. Poor blammer list.

How much longer till you're the longest updater of the list? I woulda figured you already were. Feels like it, at least. And like I just said in the top 2000 exp list topic, this list isn't really the same as the one I did. I ranked mine by %, you rank yours by review responses, so... really makes the lists different lists, IMO.

Update #74 will tie me with Afro_Stud at 37 updates each. I've got a way to go yet.

ah, okay.

Anyway, I didn't update last month due to a couple of bits and pieces keeping me distracted, so here's the first update I've produced for the top 100 Review Responses since I became teh modzorz!

Is that the culprit? Yer moddination?

No, that's the culprit for me writing reviews again, I'll admit. But not the culprit for me not updating. My best friend getting married had a major contribution toward it.

Well, seems I've been bumped down by a tiebreak. Wait, how do tie-breaks work again? I'm behind someone with more reviews than me/lower % and ahead of someone with more reviews than me/lower % as well. O_o

Well, the way the spreadsheet works, it's on the amount gained. Since Chris-Aldin is actually moving with responses, while you're inactive, he gets the spot. If he stops, which in all liklihood is a distinct possibility, you'll pass him, as will RSQViper. A neat quirk, I feel.

Oh, I see. That explains my NEW question I had for you THIS month, too. So... wow. You answered my "question of the month" in advance. Nifty trick there, man. #;-}> Well played... well played indeeeeeed.
