Guess I wasn't paying attention and it's a few days after the fact, but 4 years on NG.

With that vote, you now have 2,840 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 17. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 32 seconds.

I made my return home last night. Now to do the LUL catch up.

Thank you very much to my depositers. I was only able to check up on NG once while I was in Paris so the fact that you covered all my deposits when I couldn't check at all is really appreciated, especially when I have some very close competition right now.

Yeah I wonder if fans of the series really enjoy those MMORPGs so much. It's not a bad idea, but there are so many MMORPGs out there already.

FFXIV was the biggest bomb of 2010. I think that says something for Square but no, they insist on an MMO not for Final Fantasy but for Dragon Quest. Maybe it will work better for that franchise but it's still too risky for them.

Why can't they just do a huge throwback to the classic games? Just go back to simple turn-based combat, simple ability learning systems and a classic FF story.

To be fair, I do like the fast pace action in FFXIII. The flexibility of the moves does make the engines feel free from dust. Not saying the previous battle systems were bad, though but this feels a lot faster.

Well, I can't demand Coop too much. You're on your own.

Well... can't do this in a politically correct, democratic way then.

We won for one update.

FFX can do 99999 damage which is even deadlier.

Yeah that was just weird. From what I heard the normal monsters could all be one-hit KO'd with even the most simple attacks when you were able to hit for 99999 damage.

Yep, that's the strengths you can go to in FFX. FFXII had multiple hits within a single move but FFXIII does both. Well, the limit might exceed 99999 HP damage but the most I've seen taken off with a single attack is 50k HP.

Sorry but you are wrong on that matter. You forgot about level 47 which is guess what? Another fist level. However on the bright side you won't be seeing that level for a couple of years if you deposit consistantly.

Technically, level 60 is a fist level icon but accompanied with the globe.

Level 55 and above are too gold already for me to enjoy them with a gold aura behind. I'd much rather see 'em with dark or neutral, personally. But to each his own. :)

You know what, I actually think some of the higher level icons look better in light. Level 51 and 54 look so damn good with blue that I'm tempted to step down from modding for those two levels. :P

Maybe it won't take long to get use to.

I always imagined you as dark. Then again, gfox and Gagsy are neutral, a bunch of us are gold and Odyssic is light. I remember seeing Gagsy with light aura. It didn't suit her at all. I couldn't imagine gfox with light aura either.

I saw that, but for me, it doesn't sound quite right - yes, he's done a good job and it's a nice challenge on Guitar Hero, but not as good as Devil.

Not even Steve could best the Devil himself...

Wouldn't a guitar made of gold weigh hundreds of pounds and sound crummy?

Most likely but hey, on the other hand you could melt it and sell it.

Yes, but that wasn't part of the Futurama quote ;)

But I meant The Devil Went Down to Georgia

He was looking for a soul to steal...

He was in a bind, he was way behind

And he was willing to make a deal...

When he came across a young boy playing and a-playing that fiddle hot.

It remains to be seen, but the only reason these seem to be submitted to the portal is that they produce exposure to the websites.

Yea but the reviews I've seen on some seem to show they are getting annoying with it a bit.

Ooh, do I have to purge >:)

Well I guess I could send you a list sometime to your inbox and let you decide if they should be removed or not along with a couple of my extremely old reviews, lol.

Nah, I can just pick them up on the list of those with the most flags. If not, send me a few links.

Well I'll be sure to send you a PM soon as well. Hope you wouldn't mind if I sent a separate PM asking to have some of my really old reviews removed as well would you?

If you're after some of your old reviews being removed, you might want to speak to Wade, though it is trivial, to be honest.

I was quite pissed off with The Sun newspaper in the UK, as it printed a picture of Jackson's corpse as front page news. I felt sick to the stomach a few days back. No-one should see one of their heroes like that. Hell, no-one should see another creature like that ever - not printed on a newspaper

That's rather sickening indeed. Why would you wish to see a dead corpse up close like that.

I'd rather see a dead corpse than a live one ;)

The Grateful Dead are not as deas everyone thinks, wonder why they chose that name. lol

I'm not sure they did. Some of the ungrateful living chose that for them ;)

At least give the dude some dignity and not post pictures of his dead body would have been nice. The text on the page could have done the job just as fine...

There is no dignity in death, however, there is no respect for the dead in American Courts.

I can see that since it's been what, 2 years since his death? And they are still trying to find someone to pin as a scapegoat as for why he died sadly.

Ah, they found him, next to the corpse trying to flush his stash. The problem is that they need to make the case stick to him. The problem is, he'll only serve a few years and then be out.

Yeah, but I mean if you have any midfielders with good scoring capabilities, or good "number 10's", it doesn't have to be a problem when you only have a guy like Muller up front.

Last game, no one scored. Pity. :(
But at least Bayern didn't concede a goal as well, so that's 8 games in a row (or maybe even 9?) where they didn't concede a goal! Amazing.
Manuel Neuer has to be the player with the least ball contacts in the whole Bundesliga.

Yeah it's ridiculous how much those people get paid and also, how much clubs pay for such a player. I don't know, but it looks like football is kind of digging its own grave when clubs start to toss cash around in such numbers.

Won't happen as long as the sponsors pay and the tv stations pay millions for the broadcasting rights...

It's all the medias fault!

Of course!

Water!

Hm... I was more thinking of something better. Some things can keep burning under water.

Erm... some flame retardant goo-y stuff then.

How fitting. If the zombie nerds are goo-y than their "blood" should be made out of goo-y stuff as well.

You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.

Then there was that other episode where the Robot Devil and Fry traded hands and he goes out of his way to make everyone else's life miserable because he doesn't like Fry's hands at all.

Yes, most likely, that and I've never seen them being so picky with who will be on jury like this in a very long time. Seriously, is it that hard to just choose 12 completely random people?

It's not that - trhey try to keep them "neutral", but it's because the prsecution spent most of their time building a case and building a tower out of Krispy Creme Doughnuts.

On the other hand I have to take a Rush - 2112 album back to the store later today. Bought it last night and opened it looking forward to hear it only to see the case had no CD in it which was upsetting. :-(

Last I checked the most you could do in a single hit in FFX through FFXIII in a single hit is 99,999 except in FFXII.Reason being if you are good with skills then with Numerology the attack doubles for each time it is used in a battle, however the accuracy goes down a bit with each use. However should you get lucky then on your 13th hit you can deal out 110,000+ HP of damage in one hit!!

I only went as far as beating the final boss. I didn't really bother with max level or beating all the monsters in the hunting sidequest. That was actually the one thing that kept me going in FFXII. As or FFXIII, well, you have the Cie'th quests to kill monsters. Dammit, why must it be monster slaying that keep me going in these games?
