So far so good with the nominations for the Alternative Character Battle. 90+ different entrants already!

Also, today marks the 10th anniversary of many accounts such as Tom, Wade and Pimp when these accounts were released. Feels kinda strange knowing they were made exactly a decade ago today.

I don't mind them too much... and yellow aura makes most level icons look better anyway ;)

But gold with triple shurikens don't mix well. :( Gold shurikens, however, yes but not them.

Your latest achievement clearly proved that so all is well now, lol.

How will others follow you exactly?

I couldn't care less. :P

Well, they won't be using angry face emoticons for them. The only ones who do them are you and Molotov.

I'm sure we can get somewhere. After all, gfox enjoyed Manowar last night.

Yeah, but I don't enjoy them. :P

Maybe, just maybe.

I've called it shitblade so many times that it IS the shitblade and nothing else.

So if I call it awesomeblade more often it will be the awesomeblade after all?

What if I made a news post saying shitblade over and over again? :D

Indeed but I won't give you or anyone else a special mention for being the first to reach a certain level since the last update, unless it was Pimp reaching level 60 since let's face it, that at least deserves a mention considering it's the final level.

Well, he gave me Killing Floor guest pass for 3 days so that's something. Also, he has finally joined Last.fm.

Yes, but that's nothing to do with a catchup!

Same here, the 99 - 03'ers will always make me feel young considering how much happened back then and how much I missed out on. It's really funny to say that because I've been here for more than half of the time grounds gold accounts have been up for.

That's nice indeed, hadn't noticed it yet. Too bad it's not exactly all 36's, but it's about as close as you can get. Anyway, I think I'll park myself at these numbers for a while so gfox will have some time to check it out before I move on. Having 555 reviews at the end of the year would be sweet.

I don't feel old but when someone mentions something from the past I do get a little nostalgic. My user id is 659,714 which is high but when compared to the 3,133,648 of the newest user on the site it does make me feel ancient.

much faster getting to 31000 then it took me to get to 30000 thats for sure

He has been around lately, although I haven't seen him much in this topic yet. I think he will show up soon enough though.

Anyway I'm just taking a little break. Just a couple of days to have some nice numbers on my profile. I will continue soon and see if I can get myself to 600 or so. At the same time I might wanna review some audio's so that the ratio between them will look a little better.
