Yes, I'm still owed a tin of beans for winning Most Underrated... twice.

Win it twice more and you can have a golden 4 pack. Saves me money :P

Hah, at this point I'll never win Most Underrated ever again.

I'm thinking of something from modern Maiden.

Dance of Death not modern enough? Okay, we need to head straight for Final Frontier. The Man who would be king!

No, Dance of Death is modern Maiden.

Oh well. That was bound to happen with you always needing more experience than I do when leveling up.

As long as I can try and make the gap between when myself and Coop level up smaller, it's all good.

Yep, Eric Adams reigns supreme.

So is he the best metal singer in your opinion? :p

Not THE best but he's high up.

She really admires the dragon cock.

Unfortunately it has sharp edges. Cause it's a sword :(

Not the one she saw...

I'm sure Iron Maiden have lesser known songs but Metallica have enough recognition.

True that.

Wow, you actually agree with the Metallica part?

Don't tell me they're not a good band to see live. I've got to see them live someday and my next opportunity isn't until whenever they release another album.

I'm not telling you they are a bad live band. They just are not the right live band for me.

Hopefully I get enough enjoyment from them whenever I see them live.

I just don't like it when the voice is so much in the foreground that it drowns out the other instruments. I rather listen to songs where the voice is almost drowned out, so I can at least hear the music. ^^

I'm sure some of their other albums have the sound production that meets your needs.

Well, you can always give them a second chance. If that fails... Listen to the whole of Traveller? :P

If I find the time, I might do that. ;)

Excellent!

Did you read the piece f writing I did for it - not bad for 5 minutes, eh?

Yeah I did. Not bad at all :p I bet you're looking forward to the lit portal.

We'll see - something that I have raved about and dared to dream of for years could finally shatter me, when I finally see it.

Awesome!! I wonder if you will get a few strange looks? So have you seen them before?? I guess yes you have. You seem to listen to a lot of their stuff and talk about them a fair bit. I've seen them a few times over the years and have most of their stuff, even a few old bootleg vinyls. They are amazing 'Live'.

I may have become a trifle obsessed with The Irons, but 31/07/11 will be my first gig of Iron Maiden's that I have been to. I have only ever seen Alice Cooper live and the guillotine was awesome!

I'll refer back to my original comment of "Montsegur" then :P

Well what can I say. One of the most succesful metal bands (if not THE most succesful) hardly has any "lesser known songs", except for some B-sides maybe.
And some songs from Maiden aren't well known because they also have a lot of shit in their portfolio. Yes I know, St. Anger and stuff. But that's ONE album, while Maiden has to cope with "No Prayer for the Dying", "Fear of the Dark", "The X Factor" and "Virtual XI", which all are mediocre at best.

Don't tell me they're not a good band to see live. I've got to see them live someday and my next opportunity isn't until whenever they release another album.

I'm not telling you they are a bad live band. They just are not the right live band for me.

I hope so, too. They are definitely a band you should see live at least once and I am glad I saw them, even if the spark didn't jump over.

finally up to general. now back to the portal.

Past days have been stressful for me. My dog has starting having seizures which is terrible to watch. I'm going to take him to the vet soon but he is really up there in age. :/

At 5/5/11 03:24 AM, Bahamut wrote: Well that sucks. We could do with your help.

Yeah I tried making them with Gimp but I hate the GUI and it's a hassle when cropping and resizing which is what you need most for making icons. I need my Fireworks.

Looks like the Lakers are fighting back or at least they are keeping it close. There is no way they can come back if they lose game 3.

Maybe baseball is a simpler version of rounders, but not cricket :P

Rounders? I didn't know it existed until I looked it up. Yeah they are pretty similar.

Ah, it was supposedly apart of British Common Law.

And let me guess, open hand is more okay than closed hand?

Yeah. It's a slap with an open hand and a punch when it's closed.

I highly doubt it's ever been put to the test, except in medieval times maybe when it was normal to carry around a bow. If you carry around a bow nowadays I bet you're gonna be arrested for being in possession of a deadly weapon.

So you are not even allowed to have a bow even for hunting purposes?

I think I'd puke at the smell of that.

Nah. It smells like fish. If it smells bad then it is rotten.

I missed my eighth NG birthday! Happy 8 years on NG, me!

Alright, go back to listening to Manowar. That'll recover your manliness.

Hah, at this point I'll never win Most Underrated ever again.

You can make that suggestion for the next BBS awards. The Stickam kids will probably make a mid-year awards in June.

No, Dance of Death is modern Maiden.

I'll refer back to my original comment of "Montsegur" then :P

In that case, you're close. You still suggested a bunch of classic Maiden songs so I had to be more specific.

Sorry, I won't cover their B-Sides at all.

To be fair, Maiden have recorded more albums but they're still far better than St. Anger.

Hopefully I get enough enjoyment from them whenever I see them live.

I hope so, too. They are definitely a band you should see live at least once and I am glad I saw them, even if the spark didn't jump over.

Quite a funny statement but I'll take your advice.

I'm sure some of their other albums have the sound production that meets your needs.

Good to hear.

I'll need to find the right song for you so give me time on that.

Excellent!

*strikes a Monty Burns pose*

That makes it all the better.

Yeah, GIMP's GUI is really awful. I had to go back to Fireworks, even if it forces me on Vista Basic.

Sunday could see the Lakers pack their bags - boy did they miss Artest yesterday.

Rounders? I didn't know it existed until I looked it up. Yeah they are pretty similar.

Yeah, that's the comparison I always make if someone says that Cricket is like Rounders. The bat in cricket is much bigger and so is the ball. If you can hit a cricket ball 300 ft, you're doing really well. 450ft diameter is the cricket field, so the longest you'll have to hit the ball for a six is 200-220 ft.

Oh! Happy Days. 40,000 points of the B/P variety.

Base voting power of 7.77 as of a couple of days ago.

I thought that I actually posted it the other day, but I must not have. In other news, I've graduated college today. I went to school for four years to become a teacher and we'll see where things take me. I'm not sure if I actually want to be a teacher or not, but it's kind of late now. I'll see where life takes me I guess.

Next milestone passed 15,000 EXP. Not really a big deal though >_<
