Thank you!

And hey... when you put it that way... I guess the greatest thing about not having made all those deposits in 2000-2002... is not only do I get the joys and hard work and travails of climbing the top exp ladder right now.... but I also will get to be #36 in exp (probably for quite some time). Which never would have happened this way had I deposited just about every day since I signed up 8+ years ago.

Had I done that, I probably would have zipped through #36 in just a day or so on my way up to #5, #4, or #3 in exp, whatever I'd be now. One of those.

I believe in you.

Aww. Thanks, man. (sniff)

A good analogy, and a valid point, but just like some people aren't interested in the leader of their own country, I'm not really interested in Pimp. I'm sure, were he to post more often, to the extent that I could get a feel for the type of guy he is, that maybe I'd be more interested in what's going on at the top.

Maybe you'd be more interested if Pimp would make "State of the Exp Union" addresses every January like the American president does (sans Exp). #;-}>

I suppose there was a time, like when I first signed up, that I was more interested in the top EXP users (or perhaps 'intrigued' is a better word), but back then humantarget52 was at the top. As it is, I'm not really that bothered these days. Maybe I phrased it a little strongly before, but if somebody I knew better (you, for example) was in the #1 spot for EXP, I'd definitely be more interested. With Pimp, not so much.

Guitar Hero may be coming up with a Special edition version for Aerosmith. I'll be impressed.

It's not a may be, it's a definitely. There were rumours about it as long ago as December, and it was confirmed by Activision over a month ago. It's the same thing as the Rocks the 80s, it's a spinoff of GH3 just like that was a spinoff of GH2. No real new gameplay, same engine... just new songs and character models/outfits/etc.

It'll be 2 other bands' songs and 3 Aerosmith songs per level/tier of the game.

ROTFL! Goats? Yeah, I don't think many car-makers slap goats on their logos. #;-}>

There's got to be some sort of car manufacturer in Russia that does that, surely.

True, but like has been mentioned, I've not exactly been whoring myself around the VG Forum enough to notice :P

Yeah, I kinda cooled off on the VGness after the first few days as well, but I'm sure I'll drop by again soon enough.

You're gonna like Guitar Hero: Aerosmith, eh? Coming out this year, it's sorta the "expansion pack" to GH3. It's gonna have around 24 Aerosmith songs, and 16 songs from bands that inspired them or they inspired or opened for them on tour or something... some sort of connection like that. Such as

the Kinks, White Stripes, Joan Jett, etc.

And you asked me why I said "Aerosmith FTW!"?

Yes, I did. I thought it was in some conversation unrelated to GH that Aerosmith came up in...

Where I live its redneck hick Republicans but Detroit and Lansing gets all the votes and they vote Democratic. My vote DOESNT MATTER sure its counted but it doesn't count. I am esstianally vote for the Rep. because the popular vote is usually Dem. in general elections. Aslo it wont affect my life if a Rep, Dem. or Ind. is in the White House or on Capitol Hill.

Incorrect.

I hope V's gonna be VC part 3... that would be awesome. No, I do not, but I will be buying a PS3 for FF13 when I have to, and because I'll want it for some other titles, like GTA IV and MGS4 and Katamari Damacy, assuming that stays on Playstation.

VC part 3 wait wheres 2. If Rockstar follows the same pattern it will be. Hmm you maybe should WHAT DE SHIT. NO MORE FF13 Reasons: 1-100: Its fucking gay and pointless.

VC is part 1, VCS is part 2.... a new GTA IV engined Vice City GTA would be part 3 of the Vice City GTAs, correct?

Sorry, dude... but me getting GTA IV is dependent upon me getting a PS3 to get FF13. So GTA4 and FF13 are a package deal. I either get both of them...

Or neither of them.

That's a common misconception about Ireland, in the republic Christianity reigns, and in the North it's mainly prodistant, but there isn;t that many sectarian incidents anymore. If anything religion is playing less and less in fighting, it's more recial crimes. You'd be suprised how racist Irish people are. I get hostile looks just for having longish hair, we're not a very tollerant race. But I can remember when I was younger and religion played more of a role in daily life. And people couldn;t understand why my family didn;t go to church and stuff like that. It was definitely an experience.

Well, over here we call both the Republic and the North "Christian," it's the Catholic vs. Protestant conflict to us, didn't know you guys termed it differently.

I wasn't referring to simply violence, but just the cultural difference/conflict/incompatibility. Which you seem to be describing quite well.

You still pay only about half of what we pay, it's actually rediculous the price difference. It's like 1.20 Euro for a litre of the cheapest sort, I dn;t know

We used to pay 20% of what you pay, now we pay 50%. You can understand why we're upset.

You also have to understand that you guys do not drive anywhere near as much as we do. The nearest big cities to my city (Houston) are 180, 200, and 350 miles away. If you drove that far from where you are in a straight line, I'd wager you'd be in the Atlantic Ocean. Am I right?

And if you drive to those cities (Austin, San Antonio, and Dallas), you haven't even gone halfway across my state (Texas).

And my state, while big, is not even halfway as long as the full USA is.

Truck drivers who bring us our groceries and other products are having to pay nearly $4.00 per gallon of diesel fuel, when just 10 years ago it was $1.00 per gallon.

That's 4 times as much. They drive 1000s and 1000s of miles each week. It's killing our industries and business, it's absolutely ridiculous how the costs are increasing but wages are not.

So we may pay half as much as you, but we drive 10x as many miles as you, if not more. So.... ask yourself... who pays more, really? This is also why public transport doesn't work as well in the USA as it does in the UK, Ireland, and Europe in general. Distance kills profit/use by commuters/residents/travelers.

OH BOY.... wait for it... wait for it...

12,970 EXP 36,335 Blams 31,995 Saves 17,443 Posts 1,257 Flash Reviews

Add them all up and you get 100,000 total points! Yes, Audio reviews aren't counted there, but Bahamut claims that he and everyone should follow the stats that are counted towards total points on Newgrounds Log and gfoxcook's 2x10k pentalist.

0 plus 5 plus 5 plus 3 plus 7.... yep, that evens out with a -0 at the end. So I'll take your word for it on the 100k. #;-}> Congrats, Bahamut!

Don't worry about me, I'm not growing a beard. :)

Other active members? That seems to be just Coop, Casualty and gfox. :( Myself, I feel now would be a good time for another election considering we've now got a bunch of newer users and we've not had an election for a year now. Also, gfox did an election back in August, but it didn't work out and claims that he won't do anymore of them. He was saying this in the Regulars List thread.

I didn't really get to the election. I started the "request for nominations" process, and it failed miserably.

I never said I'd never do one again ever, I just said the experience left me not wanting to do one for the foreseeable future, and that either Recon could run one if he wants to, or we could find someone else within the membership to run an election or two.

Coop, Casualty, gfox, Bahamut, and Recon... yet Recon says we have 7 votes, so who's the other 2?

And I certainly hope all five people being discussed in here last week have indeed all voted. IF NOT... WHO IS HE... SEND HIM PMS, RECON.

Er.... not PMS... PMs. #;-}>

Thankee kindly, sir!

Yesterday I passed hongkongexpress to usurp his position as the #200 highest B/Per! I was stuck at rank #201 for about 4 days, so it's rather satisfying to finally pass him.

Huzzah!

We used to pay 20% of what you pay, now we pay 50%. You can understand why we're upset.

Yeah, but prices nearly doubled here as well. Plus you pay per gallon, while we have to pay per litre (gallons > litre).

You also have to understand that you guys do not drive anywhere near as much as we do. The nearest big cities to my city (Houston) are 180, 200, and 350 miles away. If you drove that far from where you are in a straight line, I'd wager you'd be in the Atlantic Ocean. Am I right?

Define "nearest big cities". There aren't that many cities with 1 milion inhabitants in europe (germany has about three. Berlin, Munich and Hamburg).
But it's true that Germany (if not Europe in general) is very densly populated. And of course the distances are very different, as you've already statet. While in the USA you can drive for hours and hours in one direction and still be in the same state you have traveled through 4 different countries in Europe.

That's 4 times as much. They drive 1000s and 1000s of miles each week. It's killing our industries and business, it's absolutely ridiculous how the costs are increasing but wages are not.

So we may pay half as much as you, but we drive 10x as many miles as you, if not more. So.... ask yourself... who pays more, really? This is also why public transport doesn't work as well in the USA as it does in the UK, Ireland, and Europe in general. Distance kills profit/use by commuters/residents/travelers.

Another problem might be that people from the US define who they are via their cars (it's even worse over there than it's here in Germany, that's saying something! :P). Plus US-American cars tend to be very "thirsty", I think the average fuel consumption of the average car in the US is much higher than the one of the average car in Europe.

In a way the automobile industry in the US and Germany have very great similarities. Both seem to have slept through innovations like Hybrid cars...

The public transportation might be another big problem. I don't even own a driver's license but due to the great public transportation system over here I don't have that big of a problem when I try to get from A to B.

That's not the real problem - it's more to do with the fact that there are so few active mods around these days :(

Very true. Without a mod checking this place, spamming can slip through the crack here. However, we did see absent last night. :)

BTW, I haven't "been to Japan once." I went to Japan for a few days in 1984 when my family and I were touring all around the Pacific Rim.... and I lived in Japan from 1988 to 1991, for those 3 years. 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.

Oh, it was more than once. I get it now.

I am offended when someone doesn't show respect to the gta series.

I hear ya, man. But your reaction to Bahamut was pretty funny.

The reactions from GTA fans after seeing my GTA quiz are even funnier.
