20,000 S-experience points.

8 years on NG :D.

When I look back on my time here, I think to myself, "What would life be like if I never saw that magazine article talking about Newgrounds?" I envision better grades, a college degree, and perhaps a more athletic build. But hey, where is the fun in that?

Remember the old days? Freakin' sweet lol. Back when the clock crew was the only one :p. Now if you'll excuse me, I have beer to finish.

Sorry for dbl post. But it just occurred to me but had I posted every day, I would be at level 52....I am at level 18.....I am rated number 10 on most deposits missed on NGLogs....doh...

I passed 8,888 total B/P tonight. I'm so close to 9,000 I can pee on it.

Well, wasn't it always to goal to get into the top 50? Once you've done that, you naturally look higher. What do you aim for when you reach the top 10?

Top 5 I suppose. And then top 3, and then top 1? :p

You'll get there - the ranks are more spread out, but they are achievable.

Well if there is a rule that strikes out discussion of that specific game, what else is there? I don't know too many other dragons who are blue.

It's definitely badass. Not only that, it's the most metal level icon out of them all.

In a week or so I'm going to get the cheap knockoff version of that level. Metal jr. I guess.

For example I never got why websites are sued for displaying song texts. Nothing else, just the song text. Many (if not all) sites hosted on a german server where sued for compensation. Compensation for what? That's so ridiculous...

I never knew those kind of sites were dealing with copyright infringement issues as well. I agree with you it's a little bit silly. It's not like anyone is gonna pay money to look up a song text.

48,000 Medal Points

And only a few hours have passed since I made this post before I had received 48,000 Medal Points. If I were to have waited a little longer to post the milestone I wouldn't have back to back medal point milestones.

Basically what those sites where sued for is called "Schadensersatz" in german. It means that you sue someone for a loss you suffered because of some actions those person did (wiki about "damages").
It would mean that record companies suffered a loss because of those sites. So, by their logic people looked up a song text on the internet and decided NOT to buy a song.
I wonder how people can come up with such a twisted logic and I wonder why courts say the record companies are right. :/

Ugh! This just sounds like whining in the hopes to squeeze some extra money out of something.

Of course I could think of a ton of reasons why that statement is stupid, but above everything; If you think people will not buy albums when they find out the lyrics of the songs are bad, why don't you just make sure that you don't hand out contracts to people who write bad lyrics? Like: MAKE SURE THE PRODUCT YOU SELL IS OF GOOD QUALITY, AS ALL COMPANIES SHOULD DO.

This is one of those reasons why I just can not sympathize with those record companies who keep complaining that they suffer from illegal downloading. They really don't give a shit about music at all.

You may not hate the new axes but I don't like them to much. The old level 21 and 22 axes looked a whole lot better then the new 37 and 38 axes. but the worse part about it is that I have to go through those levels if I want to get to levels 42, 44, 45, 46, and my favorite 49. Oh well time flies and before I know it I will be past those those two crummy axe levels forever.
