Yesterday I got a call from the place where I had a job interview on wednesday. Monday I'll have my first "working day". Was about time for a side job, I need some money. ^^

To dearest Haggard, I still haven't forgotten that I said I'd tell you all about my trip to Germany last year, and I'm a man of my word. One day soon I'll tell you everything I remember, that is, if you're still interested.

Of course I am still interested. ;)

Why me on drums? I'd rather play the guitar. :(

Heh, not too well. I just find those guys funny and like watching their shows. ^^

The Call of the Wintermoon is the greatest example of their humour.

Yes. The video is just priceless. Especially the "Benny Hill" version. XD

My aunt is 52 and still can't drive.

An uncle of mine got his driver's licence when he was 62.

Well, there's still time for my aunt. However, she's all the way up in scotland and her boyfriend can take care of the driving for her so maybe it's not necessary.

I head most people in the northern parts of scotland don't even own a car and hitchhike instead.

Mine's good but far from perfect. The buses are often late but the trains are very reliable.

Heh yeah. I guess busses are always late, no matter where you are. But at least public transportation is possible 24 hours of the day. I can remember times when the last train would leave at 11 pm and the last bus shortly after that. And taking the "night bus" is horrible. Lots of drunk people and you have to drive one hour or longer because the bus stops at every possible (and impossible) opportunity there is.

Night travel services aren't very good around here. The last bus getting to my road is at midnight so I can't stay out in town for too long.

I forgot to include that 24 hours of public transportation is only avaiable on Weekends (Friday to Sunday), during the week, I'd have to rely on those night busses. But there's not too much reason to stay out late during the week anyway.

You don't? :O Surely you can at least enjoy some of their classics.

Maybe, but I never was interested too much in the band, so I don't know any songs from them (apart from Hangar 18, which uses the same intro as Metallicas Call of Kthulu).

I've probably said this before but please give Megadeth a real chance someday.

Yeah, I think you said that already. ^^

And be able to play well, right?

Yes, Oscar is a fucking genius!

See, if they play well and prioritise it, that's good. DragonForce on the other hand don't seem to know what they're doing. At least I hardly care about them these days.

Well, I didn't follow them too closely. I saw them once in Wacken, which was great. I then saw them again on Rock Hard Festival, which was bullshit.

That's not an excuse for That 90s Show. That was a huge slap on the face on The Simpsons' continuity. The episode should have never existed in the first place.

Yes it was. It was still funny, though.

I thought it was completely horrendous and not funny in the slightest.

I liked the "Back to the Future" reference, for example.

I think it's the cupid. Sure, the shitblade sucks a lot but you have to stick with the cupid for over 100 days. At least the shitblade is only for a month and a half.

But the cupid is so high in the rankings, most users won't ever get this far.

Actually, there'll eventually be many users at level 49. For now, there's only less than 100 who are at there or past it. I remember when the redesign launched ramagi was at level 45 and now we have around 170 users who are level 45 or above.

I still think more people will reach level 15 and not so many level 49. ;)

So Wi/Ht?'ers, what has more sex appeal, an icon mod or a review mod? Take the fact that Bahamut is an icon mod into consideration. Voting starts... now!

Coop and NEVR of course. But both of them are also forum moderators... I wonder if THAT means anything.

A quick comparison for you - a cricket ball is 5.5 - 5.75 ounces; 8 13/16" - 9" in circumference A softball is 6.25 - 7 ounces and 12" circumference. Cricket balls are dense little rocks, while softballs aren't as hard, so don't pack as much of a punch.

You're a contributor to those forums? I wasn't aware of that. I hardly hear from those places and how friendly they are towards others. Well, I can't imagine politicians to be very friendly. :P

What? No. I was saying this is the best community on the forums and is 10x better than those. I tend to lurk the Art Lounge to see what's going on and rarely if ever head in to the Politics Forum.

Ah right. I've lurked in politics once and art a few times. I never post there since I have nothing good to say with the exception of "OMG DRAGON ARTWORKS ROCK!" :P

Actually, I thought he was drunk or on drugs but he said he wasn't. He just said he was a genie and granted me three wishes. I wished for him to praise dragons, write a blog about them and then draw me fucking a dragoness. Wishes well spent, huh? The last one alone was worth it.

Maybe so but at least I'm honest and if they get caught not doing enough work, that's their problem.

Windows 7 I heard is much better than Vista. I still need to look into upgrading my OS. As for hard drive space and RAM, that's the same as mine. The other two things I'm curious about are the processor and graphics card.

It's WAAAAY better. Vista sucked ass in my opinion. I got a laptop with Vista and it just can't handle doing two things at the same time. I keep getting doesn't respond messages everywhere.

Ugh, I do get not responding messages quite often. Maybe it is time for me to get Windows 7 if it's more manageable.

Let's see... Processor is 2.20 GHz and graphics card is intel int gma 4500m I think. Does that make sense?

2.20 GHz? I take it you have dual core. As for graphics card, hmm, I'm always unfamiliar with what's good and what's bad but I wanted to know what you had.

Well, you have to pay to get the games but Steam itself is free.

Yes alright, but like I said I already have other hobbies that require spending a lot of money. And if I buy games, I'd rather buy games for my N64 or Gamecube (even though they're hard to get nowadays).

Well, if you're interested in Steam sometime, be sure to let me know. Just don't be like Haggard and completely oppose it, you hear?

Screw the DVDs. Plus, blu-rays are better. :P

Yes, but they're way too expensive right now.

I find them to be affordable and worth it for the quality.

How many Manowar tickets are there?

Three :p

So I can take Haggard and Coop to see them. THEY WILL NOT SAY NO! So yeah, Manowar tickets it is. When do you plan to see them anyway?

Maybe but I always saw myself as a Spy who can disguise himself very well.

Yeah, but shapeshifting makes that kinda easy.

Yes and?

I don't think the anger is worth it. I actually plan to say something about my 100th flash in a few days time.

Ooh, I'm curious.

You'll hear soon enough.

Doesn't sound like much to me. I'm sure she'll be impressed with what I have.

There's still a lot of fortune left there from the fabled 'golden age' of the BBS.

But Gagsy signed up in 2006. I felt the better days of General forum was in 2005.

At times, I can be observant or get bored from not knowing where to go and look everywhere so that's how I found out.

Yes, but going through the entire game that way adds like ... about a dozen hours of unrewarded searching.

Try saying that to gfox. He spends far too much time on some games just for these things.

Yes, they can kick your ass so easily. I've heard the last boss is so hard that you'll still have troubles even at level 99.

Holy shit! In most Final Fantasy games you're good when you're around level 50.

Indeed but for FFIV, Square wanted a ball crushing hard game. If I can beat FFIV DS, I'll feel like even more of a gamer.

Though the problem with that is that I generally lose motivation for finishing the game when I'm spending hours upon hours doing sidequests.

That's why I'm always dependable on sidequests. If it's good, I'll do my best to complete it. However, if I don't really like the sidequest, I'll put it aside.

Well, it's worth seeing the hilariously bad parts such as the first eight seconds of this clip.

Lol, what the fuck was that all about? That guy with the black hair talked as if he was stoned or something. Weird dialogue.

Exactly, and that's why The Room is infamous for how bad it is. However, it didn't stop Luis from greeting him at Comic Con.

I believe I ranted on that. If you have a read here, you'll find out how inconvenient I found it to be.

That's another reason why it's hard to leave YouTube. I can find so much music over there and it's very useful for whenever I want to buy an album or find new bands.

Yeah, I like how you can pretty much find anything by just typing in a title or a lyric.

I dunno about the lyrics but title, definitely. However, when it comes to obscure bands, you might have troubles finding their music on YouTube because hardly anyone will know them.

Sounds like power metal, though since most bands sing about dragons.

We're different because we have an actual dragon in our band.

Well, I suppose having a dragon in a band counts as something. Maybe we could mix power and death metal together...

I'm pretty sure they've given up on my LUL posts at this point since over the last week or two I've been able to make 2/3 posts to cover all my replies. That's a shitload of reading to do. With gfox's help who he said he'll think of catching up over the weekend (*snorts* yeah right), we'll be safe and can talk about our plans all we want.

10 bucks that gfox is not gonna do that.

Where? Which? When?

Dis guy. View at your own risk.

Tommy Wiseau just can't take his criticism. I find that funny since many people have written negative reviews for his film before but when NC reviewed it, he wanted it gone. I'll admit, I wasn't great with handling criticism for my flashes a few years back but goddamn, if someone made a video review of it, I wouldn't make copyright claims on it. Hell, you can hate my flashes all you want and I won't care.

Nobody hates your flashes, though. Your flashes >>>>>>>>> The Room. ;)

I don't expect everyone to like my flashes. Infact, I only expect a minority to enjoy it. Sure, 110 faves for flash author is quite a lot but I'm still an underground artist.

And yeah, the review is still up on other sites (youtube!), why he only got it down on TGWTG?

Tommy Wiseau hardly makes any sense, I guess.

That's the only good thing that came out from the copyright infringement. I find the Tommy Wiseau show to be one of the funniest videos by Doug in a long time.

Hahahahaha, yes! That video is great, his Wiseau impersonation was perfect!

I wish I could do an impersonation of Wiseau that well.

You'll get used to it after a while.

Hopefully. I think I always miss deposits, when I haven't done so yet. I'll try to keep it up!

Yeah, I too get paranoid about missing deposits. I sometimes think I didn't do the 5 votes for the day at all or slipped and didn't vote for the last flash. The only deposits I miss are the occasional ones for my alts but that's alright for me.

Can't you download low-res skins for the models to make it easier on the performance?

I guess I'll just wait until my father returns from Chile (he and my mother will go there on the 3rd and will return a week later) so we can talk about buying a new computer. I'll hold my expectations, although he complained about this computer today, so it's a step forward! :P

Here's hoping you can get a better computer. TF2 is far too demanding these days, even though it's a 2007 game.

And I want to write a story about two dragons or even make a flash about it... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

ONE DAY.

Yeah, I sure hope I can make it someday. I do love the ideas I have in mind.

True but will he ever return? I have doubts.

I don't think he'll quit as a whole. Even if he makes only those odd posts here & there, he'll still be around. Lurking. In the shadows. ¬¬

Well, the last thing he posted was in my birthday thread.

Will do. However, I get the feeling a few others will want me to say hi to them as well.

Of course. Megadeth are one of the key bands in heavy metal as well as sharing several similarities with Metallica.

I liked the "Back to the Future" reference, for example.

There was one? Either I missed it or the joke fell flat.

Actually, there'll eventually be many users at level 49. For now, there's only less than 100 who are at there or past it. I remember when the redesign launched ramagi was at level 45 and now we have around 170 users who are level 45 or above.

Thank you :D

And now to hear it next week in person. I actually had a brief dream this morning where we were at the meet. We only had breakfast, though but if I slept longer, I'm sure more interesting things would have happened.

Hopefully it recovers by next Friday.

No, I'd like to have a badass black eye for the meet :P

From 2 to 3 years. But I'm immortal :P

It's a distant dream, though.

I've already said to my mother that I wanted to take flying lessons and, eventually, become a commercial aeroplane pilot. She denied it with the reason if each class costing about R$300,00, which is actually true.

I'm still not sure if I REALLY want to join the Brazilian Air Force, but it would be great if it actually happened. There's a base I my city, and a couple in the south of Brazil, where I have familiars. I have to think about this...

Oh, then now I see what's going on. Think very carefully about making that decision, since it's obvious it will affect the rest of your life. Independent of whatever you choose.

As for the airport, well I'm already a 18 years old guy so know I can officially get out of the country without the permission of an adult :P

Come to Brazil! ;P

Hell Yeah! That's one of MY dreams :P

I'm gonna visit you and watch the awesome spectacle you've got near of your house.

Well... we could just go to the airport, then. :P

This is a small schedule of what I would like to do if I ever travel to Brazil:

- Visit Rio and São Paulo
- Take a snapshot of the Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer)
- Get deep inside of the Amazon jungle and watch the river.
- See if I have luck enough to meet Ronaldinho (if he is in the country) or Xuxa :P (same with her, lol)
- Being in the legendary Brazilian Carnival

Força Aérea Brasileira = FAB. Really, that's the name.

Hahahahahahahaha. Coincidence? ;)

A pretty FABulous one!

Fab aura is so kickass that it crossed the dimension of computers to the real world.

Well, there's still time for my aunt. However, she's all the way up in scotland and her boyfriend can take care of the driving for her so maybe it's not necessary.

I head most people in the northern parts of scotland don't even own a car and hitchhike instead.

If that's the case, he must be in the minority in Scotland for owning a car, even if his car is ancient.

Yeah, has something to do with people in the north being so poor. In the south (ie Edinburgh and Glasgow) people are more wealthy, so they also own a car.

Night travel services aren't very good around here. The last bus getting to my road is at midnight so I can't stay out in town for too long.

I forgot to include that 24 hours of public transportation is only avaiable on Weekends (Friday to Sunday), during the week, I'd have to rely on those night busses. But there's not too much reason to stay out late during the week anyway.

Well, you could be out late having a few drinks.

But not if you have to get up early the next day.

I've probably said this before but please give Megadeth a real chance someday.

Yeah, I think you said that already. ^^

Of course. Megadeth are one of the key bands in heavy metal as well as sharing several similarities with Metallica.

Yeah, they definitely played their part in Metal History.

Oh man, that'll be fun. Hopefully by then I'll be in college so I probably won't see a rabbit infestation.

Yeah, none of pets are that spoiled. My family doesn't want our animals to be completely dependent on us.

Well, whenever my entire family travels, we always find a new solution for our two cats, but it always involve someone. We won't let them stay outside for so long.

I'd be nervous to leave a cat outside. Every time people tell me they do that I just think, if I had a cat it would totally run away. Cats don't like me.

Yeah, but thanks for offering. I'll think of you next time I need someone which I believe will be in November.

I'll have to deny this one, unfortunately. I'll have this huge test in December, and I need to get prepared for it. It might decide whether or not I'll go to college sooner!

Oh man, I definitely don't want to interfere with that. It's all good, I've got several months to find someone else.

My problem is that in almost every game, there are spots where I have to guess. It doesn't matter how good you are because a small part of each game is luck.

Yeah, 80% of the time I have to give a small guess, usually at the very end of the board. It sucks playing for 5 minutes and screwing up on the last seconds. =(

If I had a nickel for every time I screwed up with two mines left...

Well it'll be even worse when I come back from camp. I'll be gone for two weeks. Oh boy I can't wait for that...

More than a post, just of congratulating people. AWESOMENESS

I've never needed more than one post for a list and replies. There's a first for everything, I guess. And that includes Clock Day achievements. I'm so screwed.

While I was away, I got something called a teraminx in the mail. It's really cool but also very annoying. People on YouTube can solve it in like 90 minutes. It took me about 5 hours. I THINK IT'S MUCH MORE FUN TO LOOK AT IT THOUGH.

A quick comparison for you - a cricket ball is 5.5 - 5.75 ounces; 8 13/16" - 9" in circumference A softball is 6.25 - 7 ounces and 12" circumference. Cricket balls are dense little rocks, while softballs aren't as hard, so don't pack as much of a punch.

After a quick Google search, I see what you mean. I really have no idea how cricket works or really anything at all about it. I hope it heals quickly because it must feel strange walking around with a black eye everywhere.

Yes, they were Tuesday/Wednesday, and the second matches will be next week. But hey, not many players from those clubs were in their national teams. Hey, Brazil only had three players from local teams, the rest plays in Europe.

Alright. I guess it's not such a problem then.

Well, we still have the local championship going on, so we will play with our "bench players", mostly. And it's the biggest rivalry match this Sunday, and playing without the full team is risky. =/

What match will that be? Internacional against?

Yeah, you told me before. This kinda makes me wonder what's gonna happen to that dutch guy Joran van der Sloot that got arrested some time ago in Cuba. I think he got 30 years or something, but... I suppose he might be out in 10.

Well, I believe Cuba's system is a lot different... I don't see why they would be that lenient.

Oh wait, it was Peru by the way. But he was fucking around with some businessman's daughter and probably murdered her, so I suppose he's in pretty deep shit.

Sport Club Internacional. You might have heard us from winning over Barcelona in 2006's FIFA World Club's Cup. Epic match. =)

Yes I've heard of that club, I wouldn't have any idea who plays there.

We have Sandro, who was called to play in that friendly match against USA. He will go to Tottenham after the Libertadores is over, though. And maybe you've heard of Rafael Sobis...

I have heard of neither. Sorry, I never really keep up with all the transfers. Even for my own favorite team I'm always like meh... I'll see when the season starts.

And Pato, Nilmar, Lúcio, and even Dunga played for us. ^^

Dunga himself played?

And I never really follow the world cup for clubs. I don't think it's ever broadcasted here anyway.

They've been broadcasting it here since 2005. Football always gives more audience than anything.

I think they might broadcast it if dutch teams ever participate, but they seldom ever do. Last time we won something big in Europe was in 2001 or something.

But nice to see your club winning in the CL. My favorite club (Ajax Amsterdam) doesn't do so well anymore these days in Europe. A couple of days ago they tied against some lame ass Greek club in the qualification round.

Ah, I've heard a lot about them when I was younger, although I don't believe they are that great nowadays, right?

Give me a quick review on how they are doing nowadays... ^^

Yeah in 1995/1996/1997 they were probably the best team in Europe. Won the Champions League first, then got to the final the year after and they had all kinds of great players like Patrick Kluivert, Marc Overmars, Edwin van der Sar, Edgar Davids and Frank de Boer. Pretty much half of the Dutch national team was playing there.

Then they were all bought by Barcelona, Man Unt and other major teams in Europe and since then they haven't performed that well in Europe, except in 2004 I believe when they reached the quarter or semi finals of the CL (with Ibrahimovic, Chivu and some other good players).

Currently we're still waiting for their 30th championship, but they keep coming in 2nd for the past couple of years =/

I hope so. Would be cool if they did as well as Germany did this WC.

Hopefully. We have some great quality players in there, and most of them should be playing in Europe by the end of the year. Lets see how they're doing in four years time.

I'm sure the major European clubs would be very interested if the team performs alright.

Oh yes!!! That was such a mistake. If I remember correctly, it didn't get touched once but TWICE by Spanish players. Yet he still gave a goal kick. One of the stupidest mistakes Webb made that game.

Exactly. I think it was a free kick for Holland. van Persie shot and it hit a Spanish player and Casillas' hands. WAY TO GO.

Yeah, that was ridiculous.

Yeah, and it is quite miraculous that he predicted all those matches correctly, so it's only logical that some people think he's some kind of prophet. Heck I bet the same thing would happen in the Middle East if there was an Octopus like that living there.

And hey, ever noticed how he only picked the teams that were on his left side?

Hmm now that you mention it...

Personally I was already under the impression that there might be some person manipulating the octopus' pick. Maybe by placing different types of food, but it could be that someone knew the octopus only went to the left. Still, that person would have done a pretty good job predicting Serbia and Spain winning.

Yes, true. And I guess the long travels can be tiring for the players and maybe they won't be available for their clubs anymore for a longer time.

Hmm, maybe if they held it like a mini-world cup, on different places. Example, all the teams travel to a same country, and play their a bunch of games there. I don't know, maybe it would work, but not everyone would be interested in some matches...

They could to that, but that would mean the players will have to leave their clubs for quite some time. Unless of course the FIFA also decides to halt all the national competitions, but then we'd need a couple of weeks extra in May and June to finish the leagues.

Heh, a railway through the amazon would be cool.

Yeah, but the Amazon had barely been explored at the time, so they stuck with Southeast / South railways.

Although our main transportation system are and will always be road transport. We barely have trains, and the nautical one isn't that big everywhere.

You would say that travelling by ship might be handy in Brazil, but then again the car is probably much faster if you drive along the coast.

Why me on drums? I'd rather play the guitar. :(

We already have two guitarists, so you will have to play drums. Or bongos.

It's WAAAAY better. Vista sucked ass in my opinion. I got a laptop with Vista and it just can't handle doing two things at the same time. I keep getting doesn't respond messages everywhere.

Ugh, I do get not responding messages quite often. Maybe it is time for me to get Windows 7 if it's more manageable.

I didn't get them nearly as often on Windows XP. I probably would've switched to XP if my laptop had Vista installed, but since it had 7 I wanted to give it a try. So far I'm happy with it.

Let's see... Processor is 2.20 GHz and graphics card is intel int gma 4500m I think. Does that make sense?

2.20 GHz? I take it you have dual core. As for graphics card, hmm, I'm always unfamiliar with what's good and what's bad but I wanted to know what you had.

Yes, dual core. Is that not good?

Yes alright, but like I said I already have other hobbies that require spending a lot of money. And if I buy games, I'd rather buy games for my N64 or Gamecube (even though they're hard to get nowadays).

Well, if you're interested in Steam sometime, be sure to let me know. Just don't be like Haggard and completely oppose it, you hear?

I won't be opposing it. I know I had a discussion about it with gfox long ago as well, but since he hasn't shown up in months I'm not sure what it was all about anymore.

Yes, but they're way too expensive right now.

I find them to be affordable and worth it for the quality.

I'd rather stick to DVDs at the moment who cost half as much and still have the quality I'm used to.

How many Manowar tickets are there?

Three :p

So I can take Haggard and Coop to see them. THEY WILL NOT SAY NO! So yeah, Manowar tickets it is. When do you plan to see them anyway?

I got a confession to make :(

I don't have Manowar tickets, but I was hoping you wouldn't pick my N64. I would want to take that thing with me into my grave. I'll make sure I'll have Manowar tickets when I'm gonna have that dragon tattoo set.

Yeah, but shapeshifting makes that kinda easy.

Yes and?

It's cheap to call yourself someone who can disguise really well if you can shapeshift!

Doesn't sound like much to me. I'm sure she'll be impressed with what I have.

There's still a lot of fortune left there from the fabled 'golden age' of the BBS.

But Gagsy signed up in 2006. I felt the better days of General forum was in 2005.

Yes those were the days. Although I think I've seen many people mentioning 2006 as the golden age.

Yes, but going through the entire game that way adds like ... about a dozen hours of unrewarded searching.

Try saying that to gfox. He spends far too much time on some games just for these things.

Now he spends far too much time on his marriage.

Holy shit! In most Final Fantasy games you're good when you're around level 50.

Indeed but for FFIV, Square wanted a ball crushing hard game. If I can beat FFIV DS, I'll feel like even more of a gamer.

Lol, it'll be quite an achievement.

Though the problem with that is that I generally lose motivation for finishing the game when I'm spending hours upon hours doing sidequests.

That's why I'm always dependable on sidequests. If it's good, I'll do my best to complete it. However, if I don't really like the sidequest, I'll put it aside.

Yeah I should probably do that as well, if I ever want to finish Final Fantasy Tactics.

Lol, what the fuck was that all about? That guy with the black hair talked as if he was stoned or something. Weird dialogue.

Exactly, and that's why The Room is infamous for how bad it is. However, it didn't stop Luis from greeting him at Comic Con.

I'm actually getting interested in seeing that movie now. Also did Luis meet that actor?

Noooooo! You don't understand! You can't leave me like this!

Nope, it's too late. You've got to spend more time with your girlfriend and look forward to the future.

Nooooo I don't want to think about my career and having children yet. I'm still young, aren't I? :'(

Hey, last year I was willing to give up NG when I thought I was in love. Too bad it didn't work out in the end.

Very inconvenient. There were a few more thing indeed, but that was the one I had the biggest problem with.

Yeah, I like how you can pretty much find anything by just typing in a title or a lyric.

I dunno about the lyrics but title, definitely. However, when it comes to obscure bands, you might have troubles finding their music on YouTube because hardly anyone will know them.

Well I don't listen to obscure bands often so I don't have that problem.

The only thing I dislike is when people put up homemade covers, guitar hero runs and live version with poor quality. It gets more and more difficult finding a good, original version of the song that way.

We're different because we have an actual dragon in our band.

Well, I suppose having a dragon in a band counts as something. Maybe we could mix power and death metal together...

Great idea! Maybe pour a little lounge in there and I think we got ourselves the ultimate metal mix.

Alright, I admit, that was amusing. It wasn't too generic of a use of Benny Hill.

If that's the case, he must be in the minority in Scotland for owning a car, even if his car is ancient.

Yeah, has something to do with people in the north being so poor. In the south (ie Edinburgh and Glasgow) people are more wealthy, so they also own a car.

Well, I don't really care if that's true or not and I'm sure he's happy enough to have a car that gets from point A to point B. Hell, I'm amazed his car has lasted for so long.

Well, you could be out late having a few drinks.

But not if you have to get up early the next day.

Why not care about the evenings where you have nothing to do for the next day?

Of course. Megadeth are one of the key bands in heavy metal as well as sharing several similarities with Metallica.

Yeah, they definitely played their part in Metal History.

They sure did and Dave Mustaine has had one hell of a ride in heavy metal.

There was one? Either I missed it or the joke fell flat.

Yes there was one. And it was really hard to miss. :P

That would mean Coop and NEVR are not sexy if they act as review mods?

That's right! If they become icon mods, however, they will redeem themselves. Well, maybe not that much.
