twenty-fucking-thousand exp, babies! IT'S ON.

Even though I'm not making lists anymore, I feel compelled to leave you a congratulatory post for that one.

Well, I am downright honoured then, sir.

20k EXP is no small feat, so congrats, O gfox, and long may you continue in your depository ways: ever climbing teh EXP ladder, until one day you reach (at least) the hallowed #36 spot, and beyond.

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)

And with that...

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nice, I'll be happy enough with that

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

W00t, we need some variation and more things by Kiss, Malmsteen and Satriani

They have a lounge? And here's me stuck in the garage? Sucks.

I've been around, whoring my stats as usual. Keeping my tabs on the Hockey and the Baseball as well

Ohhh you better be with the Habs this year buddy :)

Never. My money, as always is riding on the Avs and their 3-2 lead voer the Wild holding out. 80% of teams winning game 5 from a 2-2 series tie go on to win that series. We won last night, so hopefully we can kick the Wild out of the playoffs in Denver!

Oh thems were the days. I'm pretty good with posting here. I usually get one done at least every 2 days :P

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.

There isn't much of a conflict anymore. There's the odd gangland thing but that's the same everywhere really.

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

The incompatibilities are really non existant. The two religions are so similar it's actually silly. I can imagine if people in Ireland weren't so stubborn and could actually accept that fact there would be no hate etc. But that's just being idealist and our society doesn't work like dat.

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

I didn't know it was that much of a change, that really is bad. But the thing is the world is in "economic crisis" so everything must seem to be justified. I heard that Saudi Arabia isn't producing as much fuel as it did because the demand has gone down. But then how can prices be so high if there doesn't need to be as much??? I think it's way too controlled, we need oil & oil based products so why not make them hugely expensive WE'LL STILL BUY IT.

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?

Well depends in what direction but yes pretty much, I never actually thought of it that way.

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

How much would it cost to drive accross Texas then, roughly. I'd say to go from Belfast to Cork, most northenly & southernly cities (well they're just 2 glorified towns really :P) it would probably cost about 100Euro ish.

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

I suppose I have to travel halfway across Ireland just to go to college from my house on Monday morning. And it does only take me about 2 hours.

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.

I find it really bad that an economy built on transport and competitivness is now starting to break down just because people must meet the same profit margins. I have a great respect for truck drivers. There job is so hard and time consuming. And without them we wouldn't have anything at all really.

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.

I suppose the only advantage you have is your road system is better but that's only a small easing on the strain of the driving problem. And mainland europe's roads are excellent. I suppose it's only a matter of time till it gets worse. Unless dratic steps are taken.

20k EXP is no small feat, so congrats, O gfox, and long may you continue in your depository ways: ever climbing teh EXP ladder, until one day you reach (at least) the hallowed #36 spot, and beyond.

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.

That's very true. It's always more fun to climb the ladder than to have simply been situated at the top of it almost since the beginning - IMO, anyway.

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.

Yeah, so I guess there's a silver lining of all those missed deposits after all :)

18,000 B/P, by the way.

Pretty solid accomplishment, in my opinion at least - considering I was at 7000 or so in August. Maybe I can make it to 20,000 before I shut it down for the summer (my internet access at home sucks, and with work, I don't have a lot of time to spend on NG, sadly)
