Yeah, I've got 5 days away, but I'm planning on only missing lists on 3 days. My brother should be covering some minimalist B/P totals for me, just so that I can keep the system ticking over. When I get back of Friday week, I'm going to have a lot of stuff to catch up with :P

We're rather quiet today. Anyway, Pokémon Bahamut Version (formely Bahamut: CAI493+D 001) will be submitted tonight. If not, then tomorrow. I might submit it tomorrow instead for two reasons:

1. So I have more time to work on Edgar N' Locke 06.
2. Tomorrow is Hitler's birthday.

Ah, sorry, didn't see that due to my absence from the LUL. I dunno really, he seems to have just disappeared. I first started to notice his inactivity from the EGB roster - he hasn't B/P'ed at all over the past few weeks.

It's odd how he just disappeared like that. Hopefully he'll come back soon, but should I deposit his alt while Haggard deposits his main in the meantime? Just as long as the passwords are still the same as before.

Might as well give it a try. I do remember he mentioned a holiday a while ago, but I thought that he'd already been on holiday and come back. Maybe not, I don't know.

Ah well, I guess we'll find out if/when he returns to us. This has got me thinking though... I wonder if people would notice if I suddenly disappeared from NG? Maybe people in the Wi/Ht? and certain clubs in C&C would. I definitely visit the Wi/Ht? a lot (when I type in the letter 'n' in my URL bar, the URL for the Wi/Ht? forum is the first thing to come up :P), so I'd be saddened if people here didn't notice in the event that I went AWOL.

I wonder how many posts he's made for the sole purpose of checking his level... heh :P

Well he didn't think of looking in his profile, so I doubt he'd think of that. In fact, he can't have thought of that, because he did already have existing posts that he could have gone and looked at instead.

Either way, he's a silly silly person.

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).

What difference does it make what measure of volume we pay for? If you convert one measurement to the other, then you can compare the price each country pays per ____ (whatever unit).

O_o

That's like saying "ooo, I drive 50 kph, and you drive 50 mph... you're driving so much faster than me!" ... well... yeah, duh. #;-}>

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.

Big cities is relative. How about "places lots of people go." They're a lot closer together everywhere in Europe than they are in America, unless you count Russia, I suppose.

And yes, Germany is larger than most other countries in Europe, but I was speaking to Shanus, who's in Ireland, so for his purposes, I was mostly talking about how if you drive any appreciable distance from where you are in either Ireland or England/Scotland/Wales... you end up on the coastline.

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).

It's been our culture ever since Ford churned out 100s of thousands of Model Ts, man.

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.

Yes, I lived in Japan for 3 years, and I could get anywhere I wanted to go fairly quickly with buses and trains.

Here in America, that is only possible in the biggest cities, and even then only in the center of most of those cities (New York and Washington D.C. are the only real exceptions, with Europe-style public transit).

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.

That... plus I wouldn't describe living in a country for 3 years as "going once." #;-}>

If I watch/play and review that, you might experience some genuine flames from teh gfox, you know.

You should do LUL catch-ups more often then. ;)

Well, not every page of LUL is a cool number, man.

The next one I definitely don't want to miss is 2222. Then 2345.

I already have three of their actual albums, which are Fly By Night, 2112 (duh) and Moving Pictures.

I've got A Farewell to Kings and Power Windows.

I got the former because the songs from that album are some of my faves on Chronicles, the best of 2-CD set.... aside from the obvious stuff I already knew of Rush from radio before I even got ANY of their stuff myself (such as Tom Sawyer, Limelight, Spirit of Radio, etc.).

And I got the latter because Chronicles has a live version of Mystic Rhythms that I REALLY love, and I wanted to get the studio version. Sadly, the studio version (from that album), isn't as good. ;_;

Which is pretty rare.

I almost always like the studio version of songs more than the live versions.

I guess U2's Bad is another exception. But I love both versions of that.

Nice, I'll be happy enough with that

You an Aerosmith fan? A lot of GH fans aren't, but I like 'em okay. Not one of my fave bands by any measure, and I don't really like their 1985-1995 period too much, back when they started making all those Alicia Silverstone videos and all... but some of their 70s/early 80s stuff is pretty awesome, and they are certainly about as far as you can get from a one-hit wonder. 30 songs for a GH will be easy for them to provide, and only 5 of them will be "huh????" producers.

They've got an amazing amount of well known works.

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

I'm afraid none of those will be the other bands. I've seen several of them mentioned on a GH.com forum posting. They include bands such as White Stripes, the Kinks, etc.

It's times like these that I wish BEEBO was on the Portal banner.

Oh wait... that's ALL the time. Grrrrrr.

Would BEEBO be inversely graffiti'd? Would he lose the moustache?

Hahahah. Well, BEEBO has had different facial hair over the years. They could still slap the same sort of beard on him that everyone else has. Or give him a handlebar moustache like they gave Foamy.

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!

Thankee kindly.

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

Again, I really didn't mean violence.

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.

They SHOULD be non-existent, but then what were people fighting over for decades and decades, eh?

No matter how similar humans are, if they're stuck together in a room, a city, a nation, wherever... (a planet, even)... they will find a way to have problems with the differences of others and fight about it. Hopefully the fighting stays to verbal, political, economical.... and doesn't turn to war.

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.

Yeah, I know we're not alone. But we're actually doing way worse than you guys right now. Europe is doing well compared to the US.

We're all sucking ass compared to China, of course.

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

Well, to the West, then. That should guarantee it. #;-}>

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.

It's 1000 miles from the west tip of Texas to the east tip. So.... about $120 bucks, at least.

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.

Hahah. If Americans could travel halfway across the country in 2 hours by roads, then yes... you wouldn't hear us complaining about the current fuel costs. #;-}>

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.

Yeah. You gotta respect the truckers.

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.

I think it's a myth our road system is better than Europe's. It's certainly bigger. But that doesn't mean better.

Japan has way more of its entire nation covered by paved roads than we do. Japan could claim best.

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).

What difference does it make what measure of volume we pay for? If you convert one measurement to the other, then you can compare the price each country pays per ____ (whatever unit).

O_o

That's like saying "ooo, I drive 50 kph, and you drive 50 mph... you're driving so much faster than me!" ... well... yeah, duh. #;-}>

Well, it IS a difference. Like: Someone pays 2 bucks for 2 <unit> and another person pays 1,30 bucks for 1 <unit> and then someone complains that he has to pay more. ;)

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.

Big cities is relative. How about "places lots of people go." They're a lot closer together everywhere in Europe than they are in America, unless you count Russia, I suppose.

Yes. That is definatly right, I guess. ^^

And yes, Germany is larger than most other countries in Europe, but I was speaking to Shanus, who's in Ireland, so for his purposes, I was mostly talking about how if you drive any appreciable distance from where you are in either Ireland or England/Scotland/Wales... you end up on the coastline.

I didn't say anything about how big Germany is. I just pointed out that there aren't that much "big cities" in Europe. ;)

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).

It's been our culture ever since Ford churned out 100s of thousands of Model Ts, man.

"Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black!"
Aaah, I just love that quote. (even though it has nothing to do with the topic :P)

Might as well give it a try. I do remember he mentioned a holiday a while ago, but I thought that he'd already been on holiday and come back. Maybe not, I don't know.

That was his only holiday, though. Yeah, I'll look through my PMs and deposit his alt. Haggard, perhaps you should do the same.

As I've already stated: He already changed the PW of his main, so I don't have access to the account. :/

Uh yeah, something went awfully wrong there. Forgot the list and a quote there... so here's part 1 of my post. -_-

He already came back from the holidays and he also already changed the PW of his account, so I don't have access to his main.

It appears that I today entered the top 500 b/pers. I suppose it's an achievement?

As long as I have more b/p then experience points..
