Yeah, it happened since I wasn't too familiar with either character. However, I wish to get more Schafer games soon, so that means Grim Fandango and Monkey Island. Here's hoping they'll work with ease on Vista.

I believe he's always hated it,

I'm too lazy to look for his post now, but he once said it gew on him and that I would certainly be happy about it.

He hated it, dammit!

Don't get me wrong, I wanted to get B/P, it's just that it became really difficult to B/P, trying to work at the same time, especially when I was working for Sainsbury's on a meat and fish counter.

Ah, I see now. Heh, I should see the list of 04 Supreme Commanders and see where we're ranked.

Almost in the top 300. :D

I think I was going insane waiting, NG log told all 95 of my reviews were deleted. I refreshed the page and, all 95 review are back.

lolwut?

Oh hey, looks like I just got up to 50k B/P points :D

7,000 medal points!

29,000 B/P

Okay, the last 1K. I'm truly in the home stretch now. Lets see if I can get to 30K in a timely fashion...

I don't suppose that 1,000 medal points is worth mentioning here?

5,555 Medal points. Huh, I'm tempted to leave them like this. But I'm too much of a stat whore to try and do that!

ohh c'mon man... you know i would like you to be the first.... but, as Casualty said once, technical accuracy primes.

I feel a little better now. Thanks.

anyway... both are like half way... anything can happen with 10K points of difference

But he has a much higher pace than me. I better wait til' Clock Day.

- Congrats aldlv for finding that missing user in the B/P list! Too bad I'm not going to be the first '08 user to achieve Supreme Commander :(

I know how you feel, but second is better than 11th or so.

Of course it is! :)

There were a bunch of 04'ers who reached Supreme Commander before me.

Oh ok. But I really want to pass that user as soon as possible.

Happened about a month ago, but 5 years at NG now. WOOOOOOOO!

Level 26! :D

....Aw, what the hell. As much of an exercise in stat-whoring this is, today is still kinda special because I got a rank up and level up in the same day. So why not?

Lv 12

Woo.

Oh yeah, and I've managed to KEEP my damn gold whistle this time. Do those count as stats here?

Level 17

Inorganic worked out better than expected; it was a very tough exam but I definitely passed it, although I had to wing it on a few questions. Thankfully there are no Sunday exams so today I can focus on my final exam tomorrow, Organic Chemistry, which shouldn't be too bad but there's a lot of material to go through today.

The real issue is not so much the material (which is difficult enough), rather that from looking at exam papers he has given in previous years the way he asks them leaves you without a clue as to how to answer them, at least from the notes he has given anyway.

Ah, I remember it being like that - though in fairness, it was my notes that sucked, rather than the instruction of the Chemistry teacher - I could read them a few seconds after I'd written them, but then it kind of fell apart for me...

I can sympathise man haha, thankfully it all worked out fairly ok in the end, and unless Organic turns out to be horrendous (and on the evidence of past exams it shouldn't be too bad) I'll be happy enough with my exams overall.

No list from me yesterday. Yet again...
It was "Long Night of Museums" again yesterday and I went to 3 museums yesterday.
Also, Gagsy passed me in B/P, kicking me out of the top 100. :'(

Damn, missed it again! :(

For Battle 21, I just assume that you mean the Boss character. In Japan the names are different... M. Bison is called Vega, Balrog is called M. Bison and Vega is Balrog. Very confusing... ^_^

Grim Fandango is a nice game, but the controls are fucked up badly.

He did at first, but liked it later.

Thanks for voting, Bahamut! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 17,000 experience points. You need 760 more to get to Level 41. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 16 hours, 44 minutes, and 1 second.

To be honest, I haven't been so excited for this EXP count as the others. I guess I care about 20k EXP too much right now.

It just doesn't make sense for you to thank me when I haven't done anything, that's all.

I believe Metal-Therapy had that sort of list a while ago, but he seems to have dropped it now.

Yeah, when I tried the demo, the controls weren't easy to use. :( Hopefully I get used to them since I really want to go through that game sometime.

Wait for me, damnit! I probably wont be the last '04 user to reach SC, but I'll more than likely be toward the end of the line. ;_;
But yeah, finding out the order of the '04 SC's wouldn't be hard. I'll see if it's something I can get done in the coming week. :)

I've still got the file and update it whenever there's a new SC. There's still a small gap of question marks around spots 20 to 30. :\ I've got all the dates (or rank) for when SC was reached, save three users. (punisher, Rabindarath and thobbe). Those three are proving to be a MAJOR pain in the arse. >:(

There are only 29. There's a good chance I could be the 30th. lol

He's becoming quite the list magnet at the moment. Should be interesting to see where this means that I pan out...

Yeah, I usually refer to it as just Inorganic when talking to the other guys in my course and they know what I mean, so I'm in a habit of doing it now.

Organic Chemistry is easier than inorganic chemistry, I think you won't have any problem when you do your exam. Sure, there's a lot of material in organic chemistry but it's easier to remember than inorganic :P

I agree for the most part, Organic is ok if youcan get your head around it.
