Yeah, those where the days... but the present days are good, too. :)

I wouldn't know being that I'm not around here so much anymore, but hopefully I'll grow to agree with you by the time I get back into things here.

It's certainly different than it was "back then", but I would say it's as much fun as it was in the old days. :D

You should hang out more in the audio portal then. :P

No, if people want to be more popular with me, they have to come to me, not me come to them. Besides, the most association that I have with the audio portal at present is when I delete abusive audio reviews.

You still should hang out more in the audio portal. :P

So I don't win?
But I've tried so hard.
Better luck next time I guess.

I feel so nooby with my just over 150 B/P.

I think I've fulfilled one of the criteria that shows why I'm a Review Mod today - I finally got my Gold Whistle back.

Something I feel that I should have to keep the whole "golden" imagery of my profile :)

Took me a while after being modded as well. Almost 2 freaking months!

3,000 saves.

It took me only a little more then a week to chalk up a hundred protection points.

Blams on the other hand...

It's not something that you should be able to do - I check the most recent reviews list for shitty stuff after I've done the purging of the flags for my part. Like I said, it took me 8 weeks to get there after being modded, so I'm still being slow and cautious.

However, they at least give support to good games once in a while and haven't stumped as low as Activision by making up pathetic excuses to retain games they once threw away.

That's very true, for all the pieces of crap that EA pilfer to the masses, there's usually a diamond in the rough somewhere. Activision haven't produced many quality games recently, even still no amount of them could justify their bullshit tactics.

Not at all. The only notable games they've made are Call of Duty and Guitar Hero, but I've gone off the whole Guitar Hero/Rock Band craze. As for Call of Duty, I might look into it sometime, but I'm really reluctant to do so now, no matter how awesome COD4 and Modern Warfare 2 is/will be.

I feel the same way, in fact, I haven't bought an Activision game in years, simply because the games that they produce just don't appeal to me, for example, I'm not a big FPS fan, so CoD wouldn't interest me in the slightest.

Here's hoping someone produces a CoD killer and hit 'em where it hurts; their big, fat, over-inflated wallets.

Maybe an idea for your next Gaming Industry Bullshit Rant?

Haha, I had them in mind all along. I will be making a rant on Activision sometime.

I really, REALLY look forward to that one :)

Naw, I want a Bobby Zilch game! And a G-Men game.

G-Men would be pretty damn incredible, in fact screw that, we need a game entitled The Milkman Conspiracy. Trying to make an entire game about it might not work, but hey, that was probably the single greatest level from any game I've ever played.

Indeed, a game based on that one level would be amazing. What'd also be amazing is a Vernon Tripe game. After all, my friends love his characteristics and they haven't even played Psychonauts yet.

I suppose, although I reckon that if (and it's a big if) there was another Psychonauts game, it'd either feature completely different characters or be based around one of the more central characters, and I'm not sure that Vernon would be considered "central" enough. Still, it would be excellent.

Last game of theirs I bought was Guitar Hero III. I actually wish I got into Guitar Hero sooner as the first two games didn't seem too bad. Plus, there was an effective way to get custom tracks on GHII. Too late for that, though.

Yeah, if they did make a sequel, the ones who I'm 99% sure will be in it are Raz (obviously), Lili and the four agents at Whispering Rock. Still, an appearance from the other characters would be nice.

AMI RAIGHT GAIZ?

Indeed, it still is an achievement. Just not one worthy of being on the list.

Was once preparing this account now abandoned, I'll keep on depositing - level 11.

*** PRE-CATCHUP rambles (and then massive amounts of thanks listage... in the next post due to running out of SPACE, goddamnit!) ***

First off... forgot to mention when I announced my alt alt level up the other day (perhaps because it's not really an achievement, and thus PLEASE DO NOT GRAT ME FOR THIS, OR ELSE THE DOG GETS IT), but... THIS account, my main, is exactly 3600 saves from 36000 saves, my final retirement point!

And yes, I hit 3600 away from 36000 like.... 10 days ago and have been sitting there nice and blissfully on purpose. #;-}> Thereby hindering my actual arrival at 36k, of course, but no worries... I'll start moving again tomorrow. Just... yeah. OCD.

Oh, one interesting thing about this spot I've paused at that I noticed on NG log:

being 3600 saves away from my goal means... 36k blams + 32.4k saves = 68.4k total b/p and a 1.111 blam/save ratio. 1.11111111111111111111111111, in fact. Perfection! Beauty! Woot! .... but again, NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT. Just cool numbery stuff for all the other folk out there who know about/share my 36 appreciation/love and/or love repeating strings of numbers like 1111 and the like.

...

Oh, and in other 36y news (I'm your only trusted source for that, yanno!) I just noticed while checking how far along the current page of LUL is that this topic is currently 2411.366666666666666666666666666etc.etc.
etc. (NO, I WILL NOT ROUND UP TO 7, BAHAMUT!!!!) pages long. Woot!

(yes, a page on NG being at .366666666... of the way through... happens every time a page has 11 posts out of the 30 limit, but... STILL!!!!! The timing, people... it's all in THE TIMING!)

...

And finally... I think I dropped by here to briefly mention IRL and NG achievements 3 times since my last catchup batch, AND AS A RESULT, there are way way way too many congrats, YOUSE GUYS is too kind!...... but I shall carry on and thank each and every one of ya nonetheless. However, as I sometimes do, 'twill be grouped together by grat timing... because saying thanks or some variant thereof dozens of times starts to feel a bit too much like handwriting a shitload of RSVP party invites and trying to make them all feel different enough/personal enough not to be a form letter. ;_;

Thankful for the congratulations digest form postage INITIATE.

Thanks to all of you for the 10.00 VP congrats! Passing 10 VP is one of the few "big NG stat landmarks" that has, at least for me, managed to hold its specialness all the way through the old AND new NG eras.

P.S. You didn't forget me, Hacsev... so as a result, you gave me double-grats. Nothing wrong with that, it's like a nice double-shot of espresso in my iced cappucino. Lovin' it. #;-}>

P.P.S. Based on the alarmingly large minority of gratters above who thought my main account was back at 10 VP instead of my alt (or just typoed... or just put my main name since I posted the achievement with THIS account after all), PERHAPS I SHOULD ACTUALLY USE GFOXCLOCK TO POST WHEN MAKING GFOXCLOCK-RELATED ANNOUNCEMENTS. :::slaps self in head::: Oy vey. #;-}> Or wait... did I actually do so in this case? :::checks:::

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/search/aut hor/gfoxclock

Nope, I didn't. But as the above link shows, I DID use gfoxclock to post about his 20,000 exp landmark. Probably because he'd slipped from 236 posts to 235 posts due to some old thread somewhere being deleted years later (WTF????) quite recently at that point. HAD TO RESTORE THAT 236 POSTMARK.

But anyway, I'll try to get gfoxclock--AND MAYBE EVEN GFOX? (to Coop's enjoyments, judging from his post on June 7th... so on second though, NAHHHH, hyurrr, take that!)--more involved in their own achievements soon enough, I guess. The identity confusion is killin' my buzz here. #;-}>

P.S. No, Coop, it was the Thursday following the weekend I was out of town and ye were depositing for me. And, funnily (or not) enough, but after that weekend trip, I developed a really bad case of ultra-toothache and cheek swelling (infection due to the tooth issue)... which I then proceeded to hide Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (the day of the proposal), and part of Friday... before telling my baby and calling a dentist.... Yes, I went on bended knee and slipped the ring on her finger while suffering immensely. I'M A MAN, DAMNIT. I'M 40!!!! </American sports coach press conference reference you might not catch>

P.P.S. Yes, I got in trouble for being too manly and not calling the dentist immediately on Tuesday. ;_;
