Anyway, I seem to be level up buddies with Haggard now.
Yes. We wheren't that far away leveling wise from each other anyway. Everytime you leveled up, I knew that I was a few weeks away from leveling up as well. But now, we almost level up on the same day.

I was a bit worried they were going to cut that scene a lot, show like two riddles and move on, but they gave it a proper amount of time.They had to. It's one of the key scenes in the book. Without the ring, the whole story wouldn't work out. So there's really no reason at all to cut down the riddle scene.
I read a comment the other day. Somebody watched the movie and one guy in the theatre asked. "Huh? Why does he have the ring all of a sudden? I thought it was destroyed?" Oh. My. God.
But yes, it was very well executed. I liked how Bilbo really was fiddling around in his pocket before asking: "What do I have in my pocket?", just like it was described in the book. And how he slowly realizes that he is invisible while wearing the ring.I always imagined that part to be a bit silly. Like, how would Gollum even consider that to be a proper riddle? However, they made it fairly believable in the film.
Heh, he doesn't consider it to be a proper riddle, that's the whole point. ^^
They even cut a lot of parts of the LotR just to keep it all within 3 hour portions.As much as I enjoyed it, I still don't think three films was really necessary. Two, maybe, but three feels a bit like milking considering the book is only what.. 300 pages thick?That's my main criticism as well. LortR had to be done in three movies. It's three books, after all. It just wouldn't work in one or tow movies. But "The Hobbit"? I don't know...
Yes, that's why you just have to get the extended versions. It's really worth it!
But oh well. It seems to be hip nowadays to split books in as many films as they think they can get away with.
At least the movies aren't as shitty as Episode I - III. I watched Episode I in the movies, the other two, I only watched parts of III, when it was on the TV. And I really can't bring myself to watch Episode II...
It's like "What was he thinking?!"

Well, the birds don't care as well (they dump into their own nests!) and parent birds EAT the Guano of their children... I've seen it, man!
So yeah, maybe Radagast is just so much into nature that he doesn't care.
Sorry, it's in german, so I guess you won't understand much. I can't find any other languages, not even french... But be sure to listen to the theme music at the end of the video!Don't worry, French wouldn't be any easier for me to understand. I understood the "happy birthday" song, though! lol
Yeah, but it's a french cartoon, so there have to be some french videos out there. I really would like to hear the original voices.

It's not easy finding something without a proper job. I was incredibly lucky that my father-in-law vouched for us, when my wife and I where searching for an appartement.
And most Britcoms only had 2-3 seasons.I always like round numbers and 25 works fine. Stopping at 400 episodes with the movie would have been another reasonable place to retire but they had to go further.Even M*A*S*H ended after 11 seasons.
I'm sure I don't even know half of the stuff.
I'm sure he has the more pure dragon side to him as well.Just watch out. It may be a bonfire but Grisu shall find a way to make the fire bigger. ;DHe's more keen to keep it small or putting it out, though. See pic.
Nope. He's constantly looking for a way to "put out his inner fire".

That's great that the owner likes you; maybe you could get a (paying) job there!
I'm glad it was discussed about before we all jumped ahead and had it on board. I didn't mind the idea at first but if it meant to restrict it to supporters only, I become less fond of it.
The more I think about it, the more I think things should just say the way they are now. I'll stick around to see what happens either way, though. ;)
You need to be me, that's all. :P
Does that include the dragon obsession? :P
Yeah, about that... I think what might be best to do is sort out the update on Sunday and alongside type up the step by step guide. However, if Sunday plans do suddenly change like seeing my girlfriend, then it could become more of a task at hand.
I think putting together a list of instructions while making the update would be the most thorough way of doing it. I'm going to need a walkthrough on the whole process anyway; expect a few questions from me along the way, too. ;)

I want you to know that you can Take A Friend in me, but that doesn't change that fact that it's still my Mission to keep pouring on Rush puns Hand Over Fist. Can't you see the High Water rising? I hope you're still In The Mood, because I'm beginning to sense that the Epilogue isn't too far off now...
I see. Clearly, I had forgotten that sort of 70 per day pace that you were knocking out at will...
I had started working by then. My pace from May to around the end of July 2008 was scratching 100/day. Impossible to manage these days, though I would be if the Portal would allow it.

But if life gets too busy to have any time for the BBS, that also happens. Right now I still have spare time but when I get my girlfriend wanting to see me the following day, then I've got even less free time. At this time we cannot go all the way to see each other as travel expenses will completely demolish our money.

Been there, done that - travelling to see my girlfriend when we were both up north at Uni. Sure, it wasn't far, but sometimes, we were taking two, three or even four evenings a week on trains between Manchester and Leeds. when neither of us had a job, that eroded a lot of our money.

Manchester is a place that's reachable for both of us. Ticket will be something like 11 something for return so I could possibly do that sometime.

I believe it's still the idea stage for now. It's not something to rush into straight away, especially when we've been discussing the cons about it.
My gut tells me it's not going to happen, but we'll see, I guess.

I like it. But it isn't that important anymore, since the level icons are so small...Yeah, it's hard to bring myself as much excitement as I did for the 2007 levels whenever I level up. I guess reaching level 60 will have a "meh" effect to it.
Which is really disappointing.
I'm slowly but surely going through season two of Batman: The Animated Series.

Like how they dashed through the caves and not a single arrow hit them. Heck, they didn't even have a scratch when they walked out.Yes, that's my main beef; when they were captured by the Goblins. I actually didn't mind the comedic nature of the Goblin King, with his grotesquely sagging jowls. It was the general sillyness of their escape, culminating with the Goblin King saying: "That'll do!" in response to Gandalf slashing his gut. HIS STINKING, STEAMING GUTS SHOULD HAVE SPILLED ALL OVER THE FLOOR, DAMMIT!! (ok, maybe that's a little much) That was just a wtf moment for me, anyway. :P
Oh yeah I remember that bit. During that split second of silence that fell before the joke I was thinking "Nah they can't make this THAT silly..." and then they did. It was a bit of a wtf moment for me too.
Well the additions they made to the original story were pretty good scenes at least. Like all the extra stuff with Radagast and the scene at Rivendell with Saruman. I'm curious about how they're going to work out the side plot with the Necromancer.Should be interesting. I also like how they left us hanging with Smaug's appearance. Hopefully we'll get to see him in his entirety in the next movie. :P
Yeah I agree. I liked how they kept his appearance a bit of a mystery.
As for the Necromancer, my only concern with him is that he might take the wind out of Smaug's sails as the main villain. I just hope they'll keep it more as a sideplot and still keep Smaug as the major bad guy they have to beat.
Now that I take a good look at it again, it does look more like bird shit :pAll matted in his beard and shit. Eww.
I'm sure he smells pretty bad too :p

Anyway, I seem to be level up buddies with Haggard now.
I guess things have reversed now.
I read a comment the other day. Somebody watched the movie and one guy in the theatre asked. "Huh? Why does he have the ring all of a sudden? I thought it was destroyed?" Oh. My.

Fine if you haven't read The Hobbit, but even from the film itself it becomes obvious that it's a prequel to The Lord of the Rings.
I always imagined that part to be a bit silly. Like, how would Gollum even consider that to be a proper riddle? However, they made it fairly believable in the film.Heh, he doesn't consider it to be a proper riddle, that's the whole point. ^^
Well if I remember correctly, he says something like: "Not fair!" but I don't hear him mentioning it's against the rules or that it isn't a riddle. In fact, he even starts trying to guess it.
They even cut a lot of parts of the LotR just to keep it all within 3 hour portions.Yes, that's why you just have to get the extended versions. It's really worth it!
Yeah I would still like to get my hands on them someday. I believe we do have the films on DVD, but I don't think they contain many extras.
But oh well. It seems to be hip nowadays to split books in as many films as they think they can get away with.At least the movies aren't as shitty as Episode I - III. I watched Episode I in the movies, the other two, I only watched parts of III, when it was on the TV. And I really can't bring myself to watch Episode II...
It's like "What was he thinking?!"
You're talking about Star Wars, right?
Of the three prequels, Episode III was the best one by far in my opinion. Episode I was okay (though it seems to be disliked the most by fans) and Episode II was absolutely dreadful if you ask me.

Exactly. There's a time and place for comic relief -that wasn't one of them.

I never really considered that... I'm honestly surprised at how much attention the Necromancer received in the movie, considering it was just more of a plot device in the book, foreshadowing Sauron's rise in LOTR. It'll be interesting to see how it develops, anyway.
I'm sure he smells pretty bad too :p

I'm amazed I've yet to talk about this here. On Wednesday, I saw The Room in Liverpool's indie cinema and Tommy Wiseau was there to meet the fan as well as signing autographs and even taking pictures. To have myself a picture with Tommy Wiseau, Greg Sestero and my friends is a great honour.
However, then came a crisis. After leaving the cinema, I realised one of my coat pockets felt a bit empty and then realised that my iPod slipped out of the pocket. I had to speak to reception about lost property and sadly had to wait until tomorrow morning to hear if it was found. I was ready to prepare the worst and spend over 200 for a new iPod considering one of the last things you'd expect to get back after losing it somewhere is an iPod. Much to my surprise, the iPod was found and the cinema phoned up informing me they do have it. That was a really close one and next time, I shouldn't expect to be so lucky. To make sure this doesn't happen again, I now have a new coat with zipped pockets and not crappy buttoned pockets.

I agree. That said, the auras are better looking for the current icons. Pink isn't such an eyesore now and purple aura is a welcome addition. Teal aura for writer/reader kinda blends in with game aura but I suppose I can live with it.

I always thought level 42 was the halfway point considering you need 19,000 something EXP and 38,000 something EXP for level 60. At least I'm beyond 3/4 way mark to level 60. It's actually gonna be a sad feeling reaching the final level and knowing there won't be more to obtain. Ah well, good times have gotta come to an end, I guess.
