Yes... yes that's it... I was ahead of you, but I went down, for some wild, unknown, bizarre reason :P

Glad you had a good time, and good luck with work experience.

My friend missed just a day of depositing for me, but I guess that was Internet problems and at least he did deposit for the other days.

Ah well. Life goes on, I suppose.

Mehhh... not really. Top 300 is a good one, though, as it means you get onto the B/P ranks 51+ list.

Haven't we all. Personally I relish the distraction that NG provides me with.

At 2/25/08 02:59 AM, gfoxcook wrote: What would the spendy be on?

Well, if I decided to drink, I'd end up spending quite a bit on beer and such. I didn't actually drink in the end, as I decided that it's better to save as much money as possible for travel expenses, as I'm hoping to go to Australia to stay with a friend of mine in May. Need to book the ticket by March 10th though, hence the need to save cash.

Unless it's too spendy for you, how about drinking and then taking a cab home? Unless the friend's house is way too far away and all, but hey... you're not in super-wide-open-spread-out USA over here, so it can't be THAT far away. #;-}>

Ah but the thing is, I live about 15-20 miles outside of the nearest *good* city for evenings out, and cab drivers tend to try and take the piss a bit with fares, especially when you've had a few and they think they can extort you out of more money.

One time a friend and I had a foreign cab driver, and he tried to charge us £60 for a 5-6 mile journey, which is just under $120 at the current exchange rate. Extortionate, no? We refused to pay and called the cab company, and he drove off before we could get through to them. The cab company said afterwards that if it happened again, we should take his driver's number and report him. Meh, free journey, I guess.

ABSENT IS GONE? Oh my gods. Lame. ;_;

I guess so. He hasn't posted or anything since he created that news post, and comments are disabled. It is indeed pretty lame.

I took cooking lessons and was into cooking when I was a kid, actually.

I never said I've never cooked. Just haven't been into it much in my adult life.

Fair enough, then. I only really cook when I have the time, so once I've finished with my gap year and I'm working full time, etc, I probably won't have a lot of time for it.

You could always do English lit and then go to law school after, right?

I could do, but due to my Army aspirations, I'd prefer to go in at a reasonably young age, which means taking one or the other. If I did both, it would probably end up being 6-7 years in University, meaning that by the time I go to Sandhurst (the officer training academy), I'd be about 26-27, and then Sandhurst is another year of training before receiving your formal commission. I'd be within the age limit for going to Sandhurst (29), but I'd prefer to be younger when I go, as it's fairly physically demanding.

Ahh life plans FTW!!

Sure it does, but seriously I don't remember a time in the Wi/HT? history when there were this many Brits around. I mean, way back in the day jonthomson was the only one around (that I can think of)... and then came Denvish, of course, and others.

It's a golden age of diversity for the Wi/Ht?! :)

But like I said, I never got fluent. I don't retain very much due to the smattering of instruction/immersion I experienced in each but never enough in any one to get great at it.

Some people seem to pick up languages fairly easily. One of my friends whom I went to Amsterdam with last year picked up Dutch over the course of the week that we were there for. Obviously, he wasn't anywhere near fluent by the end, but he easily knew enough to get by, which is impressive to me, as I'm not that great with learning foreign languages.

Especially if they hilariously make errors in their own posts.

The irony fairy is tripping them up :P

How does it compare to your old one?

Well, I'll be talking about the Rugby to various Welshmen this morning about how they scarcely deserved to beat Italy by the huge margin that they did.

They won't like that :) My dad is a Wales supporter, but he actually lives in Wales so I don't have to put up with his nonsense. Did you happen to catch the Ireland vs. Scotland match? I saw the highlights after the England game, and the Irish really look in top form this season. I was really impressed with some of their tries.

I decided to buy Super Mario World from the Wii Shop, but didn't realise it required a Wii Classic controller or a GC controller to play those games, so I can't play on that game until Easter.

The Wii is with my sister in London for a few weeks. In the meantime, I can always watch seasons 3 and 4 of Futurama and play on the Gamecube.

We'll be expecting a more than epic catch-up. :)

How epic do you think it is?

He's just said what NG Log said.

But it really isn't "outstanding".

Well if yoshi77777 has an alt called BIGmamaKATIE then yes. Can an alt have an alt? :p

Yes they can...

Not really outstanding.
Still... decent, at least!

I beg to differ.

You've listed that band/song like three+ times in the past couple weeks. I listen to a lot of songs a lot of times, too, but I don't keep listing them over and over again in here. #;-}>

Now I'll be listening to the same four albums this week, which are what I got from HMV in London.

ONLY TO YOUNGIN'S

And to people who use ShitTorrent.

Then what do YOU think about Grunge, eh?

The only Grunge band I've ever actually listened to is Nirvana.

See?

Or more, actually...

I had an ICQ number, but I forgot it. It doesn't matter anyway since I only used it when I had Trillian.

OH NOE!

And any other person with Bahamut in the name that aren't me.

Response to Wi/Ht? level up! Lounge 2008-02-26 02:28:00


A few months back, I went and looked up the old 1-30 levels and the EXP needed right before Tom launched the re-design, because I wanted to see what it would have took for me to reach level 13, 14, 15 etc. It seems that today, had the old system existed, I would have hit level 13. I know that isn't impressive anymore, but I know I would have whored myself around had I been able to reach that before the redesign came and sort of de-valued all the levels on Newgrounds.

New levels of EXP make me a sad panda.........


Far away, across the field, the tolling of the iron bell

Again seriously on the ball. :D Well I've been really getting into Buckethead recently, so I couldn't get Jordan anywhere so I thought the soundtrack would be a good purchase. And I forgot how good all the songs were, I'm even listening to it again.

Ah, I see. I only played through Jordan on easy and medium in GH2, and I never replayed it very much, so I don't know the song very well.

Soundtrack CDs to teh GH games? Hmmmm.... I have so many of the songs already is the problem. It'd kinda be a lotta duplication.

Awesome! I called it, I called it, I called it!
You: 2 - Everyone else: 0 :P

I can't remember what I called again?

I've got nothing like that, either. Like I said, I was born in 77. Unless I saw them when I was 0, 1, or 2... there was no way for me to see them, either. #;-}>
Well I've seen baby clothes with Led Zep stuff on them but I suppose even if you went you wouldn't remember it :P

Exactly. But no, I didn't go. Unless my parents took me and have never told me. But that would blow! My first concert was ZZ Top, I believe, in around 1983 or 1984.

I actually saw it earlier today. I wanted to see it before the Oscars.
It won best adapted screenplay, supporting actor, director, and picture.
Woop, but I'm not gonna say if it deserved to take away from TWBB until I see it.

A fair stance you've got there.

TWBB only won best cinematography (which was gorgeous, BTW) and best actor.
Yeah I heard, it's all over the Irish news, with Daniel Day-Lewis being part Irish or whatever, sure I knew he was gonna win it, it was obvious. And it's just makin this Friday's wait a little longer now. Stupid European release dates :(

I think he's all Irish, but... don't quote me on that.

I was a bit disappointed by that. Don't get me wrong, I agree with you that NCFOM is a great movie, too. But I personally enjoyed TWBB quite a bit more, plot-wise and characters-wise and visuals/scenery-wise, too.
Again I won't judge till I see it. But I suppose being the Coen Brothers, NCFOM was always gonna win alot of awards. I don't really agree with whole academy thing deciding the best movies etc. Cause if they don't like you no matter how good you are you'll never win anything. Needs to be reformed in my opinion

Maybe, but the only Oscar they had won before last night was 1 for Fargo's screenplay.

Now they've gone from 1 all the way up 4. Pretty impressive.

Well, if I decided to drink, I'd end up spending quite a bit on beer and such. I didn't actually drink in the end, as I decided that it's better to save as much money as possible for travel expenses, as I'm hoping to go to Australia to stay with a friend of mine in May. Need to book the ticket by March 10th though, hence the need to save cash.

Interesting... so not only is there the avoiding driving after drinking reason to avoid teh drinks... but also the cost of drinks, eh?

I guess I assumed you were talking about a situation where the liquor runs free and wild. #;-}>

Ah but the thing is, I live about 15-20 miles outside of the nearest *good* city for evenings out, and cab drivers tend to try and take the piss a bit with fares, especially when you've had a few and they think they can extort you out of more money.

Ah, so there is a distance issue. Oh wells.

ABSENT IS GONE? Oh my gods. Lame. ;_;
I guess so. He hasn't posted or anything since he created that news post, and comments are disabled. It is indeed pretty lame.

I noticed he disabled comments on that, yeah. That's the worst part of all, really.

Also, was he quoting something else in his goodbye message? What was that?

I could do, but due to my Army aspirations, I'd prefer to go in at a reasonably young age, which means taking one or the other. If I did both, it would probably end up being 6-7 years in University, meaning that by the time I go to Sandhurst (the officer training academy), I'd be about 26-27, and then Sandhurst is another year of training before receiving your formal commission. I'd be within the age limit for going to Sandhurst (29), but I'd prefer to be younger when I go, as it's fairly physically demanding.

Well, you could do English or whatever else, then the officer training and... save the law school for later in life. Plenty of people get a law degree in their 30s or 40s.

Sure it does, but seriously I don't remember a time in the Wi/HT? history when there were this many Brits around. I mean, way back in the day jonthomson was the only one around (that I can think of)... and then came Denvish, of course, and others.
It's a golden age of diversity for the Wi/Ht?! :)

Well, a ton of Americans and Brits isn't exactly SUPER diverse, but we've got plenty of others around, too, so it's all good.

Some people seem to pick up languages fairly easily. One of my friends whom I went to Amsterdam with last year picked up Dutch over the course of the week that we were there for. Obviously, he wasn't anywhere near fluent by the end, but he easily knew enough to get by, which is impressive to me, as I'm not that great with learning foreign languages.

Did he really know NO Dutch at all going in, though? No preparation at all? If so, that's insanely impressive, yes.

Stratovarius - Episode

Hall of the Mountain King, eh? Isn't that like a chapter title in LOTR or something? Anyway.... don't know those bands as well, but... :::flashes you teh horns anyway:::

I decided to buy Super Mario World from the Wii Shop, but didn't realise it required a Wii Classic controller or a GC controller to play those games, so I can't play on that game until Easter.

You should get SMB1, 2, and 3, then. Those can all be played with the wiimote.

The Wii is with my sister in London for a few weeks. In the meantime, I can always watch seasons 3 and 4 of Futurama and play on the Gamecube.

SO MUCH FUTURAMA.

Music Cassettes.

Like.... from the 80s? Holy shit.

Not really outstanding.
Still... decent, at least!
I beg to differ.

I don't even remember anymore man. You snipped the context. #;-}>

Now I'll be listening to the same four albums this week, which are what I got from HMV in London.

Well, at least it's four albums. There's some range. #;-}>

The only Grunge band I've ever actually listened to is Nirvana.

And strangely enough, that's the one I was never a big fan of.

Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains. Thems where it's at.

I had an ICQ number, but I forgot it. It doesn't matter anyway since I only used it when I had Trillian.

I used ICQ mostly in 1996-1998 to communicate with people I gamed with online.

Whereas I used AIM in those years (and ever since) more just to chat with friends of all sorts, not just gamers.

The wrestler I made was someone who looked like James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2 who wore 3D glasses and had a letter B on his shirt. XD

The weight distribution is better for me - I find this easier to keep vertical and the middle is solid as a rock, which allows me to play the straight drive easier.

Well, I'll be talking about the Rugby to various Welshmen this morning about how they scarcely deserved to beat Italy by the huge margin that they did.
They won't like that :) My dad is a Wales supporter, but he actually lives in Wales so I don't have to put up with his nonsense. Did you happen to catch the Ireland vs. Scotland match? I saw the highlights after the England game, and the Irish really look in top form this season. I was really impressed with some of their tries.

They're still talking of the Grand Slam, but the more difficult matches still lie ahead. I think they will be hard pressed at Croake Park

Warning: No, I don't know if I'm back. This list is a stupid fucking impulse I got, and I needed to thank the people who congratulated me. So don't get your hopes up (if you care), because this might as well be the last list I make for like 2 months.

Listening to:
Slayer - Angel Of Death
Lamb of God - Nippon
Slayer - Raining Blood
Lamb of God - Forgotten (Lost Angels)

Whoa, that's two tracks with 'angel' in it. I didn't even realize before =P

Thanks to everyone who congratulated me for my latest achievement, but I realised that I wrote 'Saves' instead of 'Blams' when I posted it. That's the second time I've done that, and I don't know WHY I did it. Must just not be paying sufficient attention.

Anyway, I don't expect anybody to amend their lists just because I was an idiot and made a silly mistake, but to those who haven't yet put my last achievement on their lists, it's 6,000 Blams, not saves.

Oh, and I was doing a list just now, but my browser crashed right in the middle of my quotings, so I can't be fucked to re-write the whole thing right now. I'll catch up on everything tomorrow.

Sorry again for my stupidity.

Make a news post about it if you're that pleased with it - we really don't care.

Posting about it in the General forum would have been more appropriate than posting here.

Both are great albums.

It shares a similar title to In the Hall of the Mountain King. Infact, before the title track, there's a track that borrows the tune of In the Hall of the Mountain King.

Anyway.... don't know those bands as well, but... :::flashes you teh horns anyway:::

Here's some taster for you. :)

Of course, but I have SMB1 on the GBA already.

SO MUCH FUTURAMA.

I should watch the other 2 seasons before Bender's Big Score comes out over here. THEN I could go and watch that after watching the original series finale.

Was it?

Yes it was.

Yeah, those things.

And then there'll be a fifth album to listen to when it arrives here, which is Gamma Ray's Powerplant.

In fact, In The Hall Of The Mountain King is a work by Edvard Grieg, appearing in the Peer Gint suite. Here's a video, if you want. I think it's one of the most awesome songs ever written and I do plan on making a metal cover of it soon =P

Plus, I do believe the Savatage cover is based on the original by Grieg, right?
