You may have mentioned that before, the relative of someone you know living in Houston. IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR, it fills with me deja vu, that whole thing.

Anyway, maybe not. Either way.... JELLYBEANS.

Good, then you're in no danger from the Yankees fans on this side of the pond. BUT BEWARE, should hell freeze over... you WOULD BE. Oh yes, you would be. For there is one thing a Yankee fan hates more than the Red Sox and their fans... their own turncoat fans! #;-}>

Good job I'm not getting into that :P

WHEW.

Yeah, you've mentioned your Denverness. TRADE MELO? (gasp)

They wouldn't... yet :P

Eventually.... all are at risk, yep. Even moreso in the age of free agency. DAMN YOU, FREE AGENCY!

Bedtime? Sexually laden retort? *checks list*

Looks like I set myself up for that one.

Nah, you look more like John Petrucci, not Wade Fulp. Just because you have a goatee doesn't mean you look like Wade Fulp. Sorry Coop.

Yeah, I was thinking to myself that a goatee does not a Wade Fulp lookalike make... but then again, Coop's goatee and hair in general are certainly far more like Wade Fulp than my own. Just due to relative darkness, I mean.

Well, I finished with it. All caught up as of early Monday morning 2/04. Whew.

rip a new CD I got today to iTunes and my Creative Zen.... and then POST!

So did you get any new CDs this week? I was supposed to get one this week, but the Amazon seller I bought the CD from mixed up my order and someone else's, so I've been given the wrong CD. :S

Well duh, I did say "new CD I got today" right there. #;-}>

I got two Iron Maidens, which I mentioned in LUL, I got Dio - TLIL, as I also mentioned.

The other discs I got were Lacuna Coil's Karmacode, The Who's "It's Hard," and the one I got yesterday specifically was Muse's Black Holes and Revelations. Mostly for Knights of Cydonia, but I already like about 5 songs on it, so it was a good purchase.

Awesome! They're one of the greatest parts of the BBS.

They take such times. ;_;

Six pages isn't too much, but take out all the spam and then there'd be about three or four pages. :)

True enough.

I was just going to sleep when you made this post.

Heh.

Super Bowl? Meh to me.

It wasn't a very good one, alas. Decent commercials, at least in comparison. 4 songs by Tom Petty for halftime. Hm.... all in all, my snacks were the best part. Oh wells.

I haven't played Zelda: Twilight Princess for a few days now. I'm at a new place and I just don't know where to go. The fact that the new place has no map takes the piss. :(

Which new place?

Happy Groundhog Day everyone, BTW! 2/02/2008 FTW!!

Oh, I wasn't aware of that.

Crazy American traditions FTW!

(Can't wait for 2/22/2022... what a Ni-Ni-Ni Day that will be (2/22 = cat day in Japan due to the sound of 2 sounding like a meow there)

Damn, I thought you said 2/22/2008, not 2/22/2022. I was about to say I won't witness that special day. On 22nd February, I'll be in London. I'll be leaving on the 21st and will be back on the 24th/25th (I might get back at midnight since I'm going by train this time). So when I get back then, I hope to see most of the regulars' votes for the March 2008 revival update.

Crazy Japanese traditions FTW!

Why wouldn't you witness a day unless you're dead, BTW? Just because you're away from home doesn't mean you aren't witnessing a day. Just not going to be a part of the online festivities, I guess you mean. #;-}>

Hmm, the name kinda rings a bell, but no, I've not heard the song until now.

DAMMIT, WHY DO I LIVE UNDER A ROCK?!

I dunno, man. So, did you like Albi? If so, I recommend you seek out "The Humans Are Dead" (their robot song, a very Bender-ish song, BTW), annnnnd.... Bowie, a song all about (and by two versions of) David Bowie. Those three are my fave FOTC songs.

Haha, yes, but I prefer to be the first to submit a flash in the year, rather than the last since that requires more timing than being the first does. You'd have to get the flash submitted a few seconds before the new year. A few seconds after the new year is easier. :)

Yeah, I'd imagine.

Well, all the songs have like 3-5 minutes of vocals interspersed with bridges and mini-solos, then 2-3 minutes of solo madness, then 1-2 minutes of end vocal ROCK.

I dare them to make a 2 minute song on their next album.

I think they'd rather die. ;_;

IMO, the only bands who deserve to be criticised for repetition are death metal bands. It's extremely difficult to tell the difference between every song on one death metal album. That's not always the case, however, but it is for most of the genre.

Especially when the singing sounds the same and you can't understand teh wordseses. ;_;

Sexy.

Less than 300 now. :)

MUCH less than 300 now.

You're right about that, but I still hate how he considers Pikachu becoming the new prime minister of England as "Not so interesting news".

That sounds pretty world-wide late-breaking super-important news to me, actually. O_O

You sad, sad monkey.

I repeat, DAMMIT, WHY DO I LIVE UNDER A ROCK?!

I can't even remember why you were sad that time. But yeah... that damned rock.

SONIC WITHOUT THE SPEED? Then what's the friggin' point, man? #;-}>

It's not as fast as Sonic, of course, but it's STILL fun. It's a pretty difficult game too, so it's not just for kids.

Okay.

You have that many NES games? :O Do you happen to own Dragon's Lair or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? XD

No and.... uh... I don't think so. But I think I read about it in Nintendo Power, because I think I know some things about it.

Still, I have a good 40 or so PSX games, 10 dreamcast, 20 GameCube, 30 PS2, and 30 Wii, so...

And you can find the time to play on ALL THOSE GAMES?! :O

Hell no. This is a collection stretching over 20 years, for one thing.

I'm trying to think of a platformer I have for the PSX, and all I can think of is Spyro the Dragon, though, so... O_O

Meh, I lost interest in the Spyro games. I only played the first three games and didn't really liked the characters on them. Also, I've had bad experience with the third game.

I think I just have the first one, so I never... burned out or whatever.

I did get the Wii one, but haven't played it much yet.

I'll do it again, too! But maybe not tonight, I want to get to bed soon, and LUL has 5 new pages. FEAR.

More posting fun, yay. However, there's so much to catch up on your catch up posts, I may or may not reply to them all tonight.

Well, enjoy!

Yes, the thread title was far too irrelevant to the whole argument.

Well, the thread was about the titles of threads and some sort of program for pulling thread titles for searching them... and that's what prompted the discussion of automated NG stat pulling programs that started all the "funs." So it makes sense.

That doesn't sound bad, but what about when you do the final update? You might have over 1000 accounts to go through. :O

Um... I dunno if I'm gonna quite check that many. At least a good 500-600, yes.

BTW, when I first started doing lists, there WERE no tabs. I had 10-50 WINDOWS open at once. Even more fun, eh? #;-}>

50 FUCKING WINDOWS?!?! Damn! I find it bad enough with 25 windows and that was when I saw my friend with that many windows open due to pop-ups on cheat site. XD That was when I was still in shitty high school. o__O

Yeah, you can imagine what the taskbar would look like.

Heh. MAGICAL JELLYBEAN POSTS, Albi would say.

Sadly, my tears don't turn into magical jellybeans. :'(

OH NOE. ;_;

But... but you're a dragon, too. ;_;

Maybe it's cause you're not an ex-racist? Oh Albi, why must you be so racist?

Interesting.

That's News Reporter's line! >:(

Yeah, you've told me, and I think we've been over this before.

But the update isn't going to spring out of my eyes, fingers, and mind 1 second later or anything, so worry not. It might take me longer from the 10k to make the update than it will take from now to hit 10k, in fact. O_O

HOLY SHIT!! 0__0

I gotta make sure to downsize expectations so even at worst I can exceed them. #;-}>

I'm in a forest, and that's all I'll say to avoid spoilers.

No and.... uh... I don't think so. But I think I read about it in Nintendo Power, because I think I know some things about it.

I only mentioned them because of the videos I've seen about how bad they are. XD

Well, enjoy!

I did post to all of them, except for one or two where I decided to wait until another time.

Well, the thread was about the titles of threads and some sort of program for pulling thread titles for searching them... and that's what prompted the discussion of automated NG stat pulling programs that started all the "funs." So it makes sense.

It caused a huge riot. I could understand some of the lists being too big and making Wade concerned, but others aren't so big. Also, wasn't that problem around the time Numa Numa was BIG? That's what I read in the thread.

Um... I dunno if I'm gonna quite check that many. At least a good 500-600, yes.

There's over 600 users with at least 10k EXP now.

Who the fuck is John Petrucci?

John Petrucci (born July 12, 1967, Kings Park, Long Island, New York) is an American guitarist best known as a founding member of the progressive metal band Dream Theater.

Do you like prog rock?

Fun's a relative term. More of a relief!

That's awesome! ^^

Yep. The only song it turns out I "knew without knowing" was Mystery. When it started up, the synth at the start... I was like "holy shit, I know this song... this is Dio, too? Holy shit."

Just like my reaction to Rainbow in the Dark from Holy Diver.

Funny enough, later that night the LUL loses five pages.

Yep, I inquired about that last night. I'll have to go and see if there's any speculation about who might have been deleted, and if not a whole user's posts in the thread... then WTF happened?

Also, I think I lost 12 posts myself in the past 24 hours. ;_;

I know the movie, however.

Yeah, I wanted to watch it this weekend, but I don't have it and I was too lazy to try and find it on TV. I need that DVD, damnit.

Yeah, I wouldn't be online then. Besides, when I'm in London, I'm more likely to play on Team Fortress 2, the Wii or the PS3 than to make some posts on the BBS.

Well, those two things tend to go together. As my gf calls it... CRUST VOICE.

Roughly 270 now. And of course, it'll be less when you do the next catch-ups.

It was down to 271, but when I started posting tonight, it was back up to 283. Now it's back down again. WAHOO.

Of course it is. I mean, a Pikachu taking control of England?!

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE (PIKACHU). "A" pikachu my ass. LIES!

For not watching Monty Python.

Ah yes, just like you were sad for not watching original/classic Star Wars and all, I remmeber now.

It caused a huge riot. I could understand some of the lists being too big and making Wade concerned, but others aren't so big. Also, wasn't that problem around the time Numa Numa was BIG? That's what I read in the thread.

I thin Numa Numa was before that. The Thread Thread was in a January. January of 2006, I assume.

Numa Numa might have been November/December of 2004 or 2005? so either a year before or a month or so before, I think.

There's over 600 users with at least 10k EXP now.

Fortunately for me, a lot of the users with over 10k posts and blams and saves are the same people who have over 10k exp, though.

Maybe it's cause you're not an ex-racist? Oh Albi, why must you be so racist?

But isn't hating humans racist? o__O

No, it's only natural. As long as you hate all humans evenly, you dragon, you. Albi hated Albanian boys more than other European childrens, and that's why he was a racist dragon. :::nods sagely:::

Do you like prog rock?

Is Boston considered prog rock? Or just art rock/classic rock?

Yes is prog rock, isn't they?

Did you post in any threads made by alrd? That was probably why that happened, although myself, I don't seem to have lost a single post, which is good since I'm ALMOST at 17k posts now! Ah, it'll feel great to be on the 17000's. It's about time I get out of the 16000's.

Yeah, I wanted to watch it this weekend, but I don't have it and I was too lazy to try and find it on TV. I need that DVD, damnit.

I could do with watching that movie again.

Well, you'll still be living through the day, so good enough.

Another thing, I'll be going to the biggest HMV store out of them all in Oxford Street. The store is so big and the CDs they sell there are so great, I'll be spending an hour or two there when I go...Maybe even three hours. 0__0 That's because they'll have so many CDs, I'll have to think about what I want the most. I have about £50 gift vouchers for HMV from Christmas and spending them all when I go to London is gonna be a hell lot of fun.

If you're too lazy to find them on your own, please just tell me in your reply, and I'll get you some links. I have 'em in my faves on youtube, so it wouldn't be quite as much of a pain as otherwise for me to paste some links here.

Yeah, link them please. The next time you'll reply here, I'll watch them. I won't look out for them right now since there's other things I want to do tonight such as working on flash and possibly watch more Futurama tonight.

Not sure about them since I've never heard of them. :(

Yes. XD

Who elses.......

Emerson, Lake & Palmer
King Crimson
The Mars Volta (the band Haggard hates for some reason)
Mike Oldfield
Pink Floyd (obviously)
Rush
Transatlantic

And Uriah Heep are sometimes considered as Prog rock.

And then there's prog metal bands such as Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, Opeth, Queensrÿche, Symphony X and so on.

Of course the replies from Bahamut will be longer to you than to me. He likes you more :P

Of course you're both MAD AS HELL. #;-}>

And he may like me more, but he FEARS THE SMILEY, BTW.

That Half-Like main character (can't remember the full name right now. George Foreman?) is a Wade-lookalike. :)

This seems like an opportunity to bring up my new grill! Using patanted technology, the fat is drained straight into my mouth *sucks at fat straw*

ROTFL! I totally didn't notice last night that he said George Foreman. I think I read it as "George Freeman."

The name of the dude from Half-Life, Bahamut, BTW, is of course Gordon Freeman.

George Foreman. :::chuckles:::

I'll get something sorted, hopefully tonight. I found my sunglasses, but forget where the photo cable was for my camera. I have now found that, as it's in the top pocket of my jacket, for some reason. Hopefully something tonight / tomorrow morning should appear.

Never leave home wihtout a USB camera cable, I guess? O_o

As they used to say in the 1980s Heinz Tomato Ketchup adverts - The Best Things come to those who wait.

Hahahah. Yeah. Ketchup takes fucking forever. Fuck that. :::leaves:::

Heh, I wasn't expecting you to do more replies so soon, especially on a weekday. :O

I KNOW. I'M FULL OF SURPRISES.

Like catching up on Sunday night, Monday night, and now also TUESDAY NIGHT, holy shit.

Fun's a relative term. More of a relief!

Wow, another catch-up in the LUL. :O

AND ANOTHER!

Also, I think I lost 12 posts myself in the past 24 hours. ;_;

Did you post in any threads made by alrd? That was probably why that happened, although myself, I don't seem to have lost a single post, which is good since I'm ALMOST at 17k posts now! Ah, it'll feel great to be on the 17000's. It's about time I get out of the 16000's.

That's what I was thinking may have been the culprit after reading NEVR's posts about alrd, yep.

So you managed to avoid ever posting in any alrd topics, eh? Well, at least I only lost 12.

I ended up posting 15 yesterday, so I was +3 net, at least I didn't backslide any. And by catching up again today, I've further made progress, so it's all good.

You and your 16k and 17k discussions... I'll just take 10k, thanks. #;-}>

Another thing, I'll be going to the biggest HMV store out of them all in Oxford Street. The store is so big and the CDs they sell there are so great, I'll be spending an hour or two there when I go...Maybe even three hours. 0__0 That's because they'll have so many CDs, I'll have to think about what I want the most. I have about £50 gift vouchers for HMV from Christmas and spending them all when I go to London is gonna be a hell lot of fun.

Awesome. I've only been to HMV once, as the only place I've ever seen one in the US is in NYC.

Yeah, link them please. The next time you'll reply here, I'll watch them. I won't look out for them right now since there's other things I want to do tonight such as working on flash and possibly watch more Futurama tonight.

Okay, okay.

DragonForce... pop radio singles!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

IT'S THE FUTURE!

It must stay down!

DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN TO ITS DOOM!

Ever played the Super Smash Bros. games? XP

Well of course. If it's a pikachu vs. pikachu match, then one is a CLONE, clearly.

No, The Thread Thread incident happened in March 2005.

No way, man. No freakin' way. O_O

For serious?

There's also about 120 users with at least 10k posts, and of course, most of them will have over 10k EXP.

I can't believe there's not way more than 100 by now, because I think there's been 100+ 10k posters for over a year now.

No, it's only natural. As long as you hate all humans evenly, you dragon, you.

Heh, if hating all humans was racist, then Morbo....

Yeah. He'd be King of the Racists.

Is Boston considered prog rock? Or just art rock/classic rock?

Not sure about them since I've never heard of them. :(

You've... NEVER... heard... of Boston?!?

Yes is prog rock, isn't they?

Yes. XD

Har. #;-}>

Well there we go. I'm not that big of a Yes fan, though.

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Heh. Just like with Yes, I know they're a much more wide-ranging band than their one-hit wondery 80s times, but to me growing up, I knew just one song by each:

Emerson, Lake & Powell (Powell, yes, not Palmer, from their later incarnation) - Touch and Go
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart (but of course...)

Pink Floyd (obviously)

They're so much more than just prog rock, though!

Rush

Oh, well if Rush is considered prog, then sure. My Pink Floyd and Rush collections are fairly decent.

And Uriah Heep are sometimes considered as Prog rock.

I was thinking of mentioning them when I mentioned Yes and Boston.

And then there's prog metal bands such as Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, Opeth, Queensrÿche, Symphony X and so on.

Queensryche is considered prog rock via prog metal, eh? Hm.

No, it's because I have so much to say here.

Heh.

So what about John Petrucci? Here's a picture of him with short hair and DOES look a lot like you.

Please don't deny it.

HEheheheh. YEah, he kinda does. At least, like the pic Coop's posted.

Heh. Just like with Yes, I know they're a much more wide-ranging band than their one-hit wondery 80s times, but to me growing up, I knew just one song by each:

Tarkus blows me away! I sense a Nobuo Uematsu vibe on the song.

Emerson, Lake & Powell (Powell, yes, not Palmer, from their later incarnation) - Touch and Go

Yeah, I've heard about Emerson, Lake & Powell.

Oh, well if Rush is considered prog, then sure. My Pink Floyd and Rush collections are fairly decent.

I only have three Rush albums right now and have had two of them for a year now. Oh well, there's no RUSH to get them all. XD

I was thinking of mentioning them when I mentioned Yes and Boston.

Have you ever heard of their song July Morning?

Queensryche is considered prog rock via prog metal, eh? Hm.

They're more prog metal from what I've heard, although the album of theirs I have (which is Empire) doesn't seem metal enough, or maybe it's just me.

HEheheheh. YEah, he kinda does. At least, like the pic Coop's posted.

Nope. Audio reviews weren't in profiles, as you well know, until the redesign.

Coop would too, but he's TOO CLOSE to see it.

Oh, just want to mention that I WOULD have posted in here like 5 hours ago... and probably would have caught up on LUL as well... but then I had to go and watch the 2-2 USA vs. Mexico soccer game that was taking place just a half-mile from my apartment here in Houston tonight.

Yep...

On TV this time. Last time USA vs. Mexico happened here in Houston, I went in person with my gf. It was 0-0 that day, but a very exciting draw.

Today was an exciting draw as well, but it went from 0-0 to 2-1 USA in just 11 minutes of gametime, and like 5 minutes later it was 3-1... but the goal was disallowed due to a SUPER late offsides call on the pass like 20 seconds earlier to Dempsey. What a sucky moment.

Kinda let that one slip away, but at the same time Mexico was more aggressive, had more shots on goal, and really could have won it, so... lucky to escape with the draw, perhaps. Especially when ball control-wise and midfield play wise, I think Mexico was kicking the US's ass.

But USA's goalkeeping > Mexico's tonight, that's for sure.

GOODNIGHT!

Well, I'm moving this conversation to the pentalist thread now and I'm sure there won't be 3 posts each to reply to each other.

The main plot of a Family Guy ep never matters that much, it's mostly the little constant random jokes and bits and asides... but that said, I find that some of the plots are just kinda lame, and some of the side characters really get old to me really fast. The Star Wars ep of Family Guy was excellent, though. Not that you'd get the jokes. WATCH STAR WARS. #;-}>

Randomness rules, but for those sort of cartoons, I want a great mix of humour and storyline. Futurama has that along with awesome creativity.

Bah, just watch 'em mid-season, then.

No, I refuse to watch 'em mid-season!

Eventually. I'll probably play more of it within the next 5 years than I play II, at least. #;-}>

Actually, what I was thinking of was merging flash reviews and audio reviews together just like how B/P were a single stat on your list ages ago. Sure, B/P have been separated now, but making a review requires more effort than getting B/P. So that keeps the 5x10kness.

That's what I was ROTFLing at. Great scene.

Also Madness is ended? I'm sad now, in a violently spent sort of way.

Before I catch up, I wanna mention a cool set of stats:

I posted on 1/31, 2/1, 2/2, 2/3, 2/4, 2/5, 2/6, 2/7, 2/8, and in the past few hours 2/9 as well. That's a TEN DAY POSTING STREAK. I probably haven't done that in years.

Thus, I have posted for the first time in a long time also.... every day this whole week.

And I have posted, so far, every day this month. I doubt I'll keep that up all 29 days, but still. February 2008 is shaping up to be even more consistent, posting-wise, than January 2008 (which was already remarkable) did.... it's time to face facts, folks. The gfox 10k experiment is going to come to a close far faster than even the most overestimatey of us may have predicted.

I, for one.... say HUZZAH! About time I turn on the jets.

There weren't many of them, so this should be quick!

Well, I'm moving this conversation to the pentalist thread now and I'm sure there won't be 3 posts each to reply to each other.

Okies.

Randomness rules, but for those sort of cartoons, I want a great mix of humour and storyline. Futurama has that along with awesome creativity.

Yes. In spades compared to ALL OTHERS. Who could ask for more? Who could choose any other animated comedy to be a fan of? NO ONE WITH A BRAIN.

No, I refuse to watch 'em mid-season!

Beh.

Beware the music on FFX-2 when you play it.

Okay, I will. O_o

You're such a lucky bastard for two reasons:

1. Looking like Hansi Kursch.
2. Making the 3333rd reply here.

Ooo. I didn't notice the 3333rd reply. Good idea, Bahamut, good eye.

We'll see what gfox does when he makes his final update.

Grrrrrr....

If I make it where audio reviews count towards the review counts, then that would be totally screwing over all the people accustomed to their spots based on the old ways... it'd be like if Tom Fulp added new ways to get exp today, it would screw the system over.

Like I said, someone else wants to do that? Okay. Not I.

Actually, what I was thinking of was merging flash reviews and audio reviews together just like how B/P were a single stat on your list ages ago. Sure, B/P have been separated now, but making a review requires more effort than getting B/P. So that keeps the 5x10kness.

That's apparently what Cyberdevil wants as well, and again... feel free to combine them, then, but I won't be.

The five stats on the pentalist are all from the flash portal or the BBS, I ain't suddenly adding AP stats for the ultimate update. End of debate on that one, please.

You mean from Raging Bender? I was watching that last night. :D

I don't remember the ep titles most of the time, but I guess so.

I knew something wasn't right about that. Gordon Freeman's Lean Mean Fat Grilling Machine. XD

Sweet!

Have you pre-ordered one?

I didn't know we could. SIGN ME UP!

Fifth in a row?

10TH! no... 11TH! As of this post, first post on 2/10/08 for me.

Just a bit! Everything but LUL... which is... decent!

Better than nothing. ^^

And then on Thursday night/Friday morning, I replied JUST to LUL to make up for that.

I meant to post some last night, but I didn't get around to it due to GH3. However, I've still technically posted every day for 11 straight days now, NG-time wise. #;-}>

I look forward to getting 17777 posts. That'll be such a wonderful post count. :D I won't count on getting 77777 posts, though.

Oh, you will. Just channel the powers of Ozcar and ZeroAsALimit, my friend, and you'll make it there in no time attal.

And more Virgin/Zavvi stores too. I think the only Virgin Megastores in America is the one in Walt Disney World, Florida. o__O Is that true?

I really doubt it, since I didn't know there was one there. I'm fairly sure NYC and L.A. both have them.

No, I was talking about the DragonForce greatest hits album. There won't actually be an album of that, it was a joke advert someone made on YouTube.

Oh, right, that link you gave me that I never clicked through to. Sorry, man. But at least you've told me the point of it. #;-}>

I wouldn't count on their never being one.

U2 said for 20 years they weren't doing a greatest hits, and now they have a greatest hits of the 1980s double-disc, a greatest hits of the 1990s double-disc, and like a "singles" greatest hits thing, too.

Now, U2 has more of a varied musical sampling over their 30 years than DragonForce does now, but if they're still around and making music in say 2015 or so, they'd definitely have enough albums to do one, even if "all their songs sound the same."

If that doesn't stop them from putting out albums filled with identical power metal, then why would it stop them from putting out a greatest hits filled with it? See my logic? #;-}>

245!

Yayayayayayay.

It'll be down to 200 by the end of this weekend, mark my words.

BTW, I wonder if that's become Bahamut's new purpose in life or something. O_O

I shall attempt to present evidence over the weekend, as I'm struggling for the time at present. I've got an assignment to build lots of models for a couple of war games on Sunday and I don't want to disappoint my friends by not turning up to kill them!

EV-I-DENCE! PRESENT-IT-NOW!

Getting closer, but his hair flops over at the end of his spikes, like it's lazy. Mine stands on end like I've put my fingers in the socket :P

QUIBBLER!!!

A plastic bag :P Not quite sure how the insane fit here, but meh.

!_! Nor am I, but who cares. EMBRACE THE NONSENSICAL.

Dude.... Wade looks different in a lot of different photos, but so far all these pics Bahamut is posting of this guy look a lot more like your pic than Wade's pics ever do. Sorry to break it to you. ;_;

I'll find the ones and I'll give you a comparison shot. Trust me.

I'll try to keep an open mind till then, but don't make us wait too long... or else there'll be a whole "photoshop Coop + Petrucci pics" thread that Bahamut and I make here in Wi/Ht? to convince everyone else that we're right and you're wrong. #;-}>

Coop would too, but he's TOO CLOSE to see it.

... too close to see what?!

Too close to the forest to see the trees, or something? I guess?

Also Madness is ended? I'm sad now, in a violently spent sort of way.

When did I say that Madness ended? Or was that just a random mention of that that you made because Krinkels has ended his series or something? Either way, you asked in your reply to me part, and I have no ideas, so...

:::shrugs:::

(Yay, they fixed the "::: problem," so now I can use them at the starts of lines again, huzzah!!!!)

No, my name doesn't contain umlauts. But they are still very important, because "ü" sounds different from "u". I don't think the english language has any "ü"-sound in it, but I can give an example with 'ä' and 'a':
'ä' sounds a lot like the 'a' in words like "can", "fan" or "Stan".
'a' sounds like the 'a' in "father"

If you don't know how to type an umlaut you can always put an 'e' right after the letter you want to make an umlaut out of. So 'ae' is the same as 'ä', 'oe' is the same as 'ö' and so on...

Ok, enough with languange-lessons now!

Easy. Just install german keyboard drivers, than switch keyboard layouts in Windows and hit the key with the '{' on it. This should give you an 'ü' ;) .

I will change my aura when I level up to Level 31. This is in 50 days if I don't miss any deposit. But probably Cyberdevil will level up before I do, so you won't confusig me with him any more in less than 50 days, I guess ;) .

I'm aiming for by early-March now, yes.

Why? Lots of badass things happening then.

A) Super Smash Bros Brawl is released (can't remember the exact date, but I think it's around 3/4)
B) My sister's 27th birthday on 3/8
C) The Texas Democratic Primary on Tuesday 3/4

And probably more I could list. So why not add 10k posts to the fun that week? I think I shall! Probably on Saturday 3/8, in fact. HAPPY B-DAY, SIS!

Like I said, someone else wants to do that? Okay. Not I.

Fair enough gfox. :)

THANK YOU.

Now, you can all silently hope I have a stroke that causes me to be loopy and go ahead and make the final update the way you guys not-so-secretly want me to, but that's about what it's going to take. That... or BRIBERY. Hint hint, wink wink. #;-}>

I'll combine them. When someone reaches 10k audio reviews, I'd then think about splitting the reviews up.

That's an idea, sure. SEXALIST!

Hell, why not just add that as a new stat from the get-go. Remember how I wanted anyone who succeeds my list to make it different enough that they're not just doing the same old same old? Well, a 6th column with audio portal reviews would CERTAINLY qualify right off the bat as a big difference.

I don't remember the ep titles most of the time, but I guess so.

I know the titles very well after looking at the DVD boxes to see which episode is where.

My gf and I were watching the eps in order from the DVDs, so that still didn't really teach us the titles to most of 'em, we were kinda just watching it as though we were watching a marathon on TV.

But anyway, during our move, the current DVD we were on (Which was in one of our DVD players) got misplaced somewhere. I'm sure it's not lost forever (it probably got placed inside another DVD case besides the Futurama one where it should have been), but... can't find it. So can't resume watching Futurama from where we left off last summer/fall. ;_;

10TH! no... 11TH! As of this post, first post on 2/10/08 for me.

Nope, I don't have that sort of powers. Besides, I'm better off working on flash rather than making hundreds of posts on the BBS.

Yes, a much more enlightened creative pursuit, certainly.

ROTFL!

So there you go. If DragonForce restrains themselves to 1 or 2 discs at most, they'll already be ahead of the game, and far from the worst ever "decision to put out a greatest hits" disaster, at least. #;-}>

No, I made 30 posts between Friday and Saturday. And I'm making 14 more tonight. I stopped at 9786 last night, and I'm gonna stop at 9800 tonight. OR WILL I?

GOOD MORROW TO YOU!

Good afternoon/evening.

GOOD MORROW AGAIN!

Here's the damn picture, Coop.

EAT IT, COOP! HE'S YOU, BITCH!

Oh, lest I forget.... and perhaps this WOULD be on topic enough to how the Wii has taken over my life and pulled me away from NG so much, especially back in September-December 2007 even more than lately, since I've at least been putting up a good fight for the past month or so and winning!... anyway... would have been on topic enough to merit posting in the Wii topic itself, but since we just put that topic to bed for now, I won't bother bumping it.

I'm quite proud of this, even though it basically means I've spent 100 hours or so playing on a plastic guitar. MY WIITAR SHREDS, BABY. I BROKE THE WHAMMY I WHAMMY SO HARD AND SO OFTEN. IT'S ALL RUBBER BANDED UP AND I STILL SLAP IT LIKE A BROKEN DONKEY. YESSSSSSS.

5000 groupies from 1000 performances, and I just broke through 200,000,000 total points and broke into the top 200 of all Wii GH3 users (those're the achievements I hereby display visually):
