Heh, but isn´t Pimp an alt account anyway or isn´t he held by multiple users? :p At least I always found it strange how he magically popped up out of nowhere whenever there was a topic made about him.
I can't remember if I've heard specific credible users claim to have had access to Pimp and not admit they were joking like Coop just admitted.... like I DEFINITELY had heard from users about having access to humantarget back in the day. So I dunno.
He definitely started out as a single account, and AFAIK as a main account, not an alt.
At this point, who knows, he could indeed be some other user's alt at this point if the original Pimp isn't depositing for himself anymore, I dunno.

Listening to:
The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary
Epic song. Great for driving along to, especially if you've got a very expensive sports car to take around the countryside.
Epic indeed. I love the guitarsound in this song.
Singing, guitar... it's all excellent. Not the deepest of lyrics, but very singalongable. Especially in the car, yes.
C´mon Bahamut, just admit that fab aura doesn´t look half as bad on level 42 then on any other icon :p
If only. But he won't. ;_;

Lol, now I´m starting to worry whether I said something terrible :p
To Coop and Bahamut, apparently. But not to us reasonable folk. #;-}>
Yeah he did sang it loud and clear several times actually :p
Whoops. #;-}>
Party Girl and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock are my fave b-sides from the 80s, and they're both on Under a Blood Red Sky, so I can listen to 'em without having to have all the singles from that era
Hmm I don´t know those songs that well yet. But weren´t they also featured on October, Boy or War? And I thought I was pretty sure that 11 O'Clock Tick Tock was their very first single and not a b-side.
No, they're not from any albums.
You're correct that 11 O'CTT is a single in its own right, but it was pre-Boy, and the track wasn't on Boy. I confess that at times to me, single = a song from an album that has a separate smaller release with its name, and b-side = every track that didn't make it onto an album, usually found on singles.
So to me, even though it was the "star" of its own single, it's still kinda like a b-side in that it never made an album. #;-}>
I don´t have any U2 singles at all. My fathers to blame for that. He always wanted to buy the whole album because that was much cheaper and b-sides are usually never that interesting anyway.
Well, back around 1993-1994 I had finished getting all the U2 albums, and when I saw singles in the store, I figured... eh... I don't buy singles for any other bands, but this is U-freaking-2, so WTF not? And thus I started buying U2 singles. #;-}>
But I believe a lot of B-sides appeared on the "Best of"-collection cd´s, so we still have them somewhere.
That's good.
But anyway, you clearly missed out on SOME songs, for instance saying you're not that familiar with Party Girl and 11 O'CTT, so... you should at least get the live album Under a Blood Red Sky. It's got only 8 tracks, but it has iconic live performances of tracks like Sunday Bloody Sunday and those 2 non-album tracks above and a few other tracks from Boy and October and War performed live. Like... Gloria... and I Will Follow (I think)... and Electric Co from Boy... and... eh, I can't remember 'em all. I fail.
I think so? Although I am a little confused here :p
Do you also mean not all of their existing music necessarily has to be what they really sound like? Or used to sound like?
I guess what I meant was it's funny how your idea of what a band SHOULD sound like is totally crafted just from what they've released, not from what the band actually has done.
For instance, there could be 10 weird U2 songs out there that you and I haven't heard, all from the 80s and 90s... and their next new album in a few years comes out and sounds really weird and very un-U2-like to both of us and we don't like it very much... but in an alternate reality, those 10 weird songs were either on albums or were well-known b-sides or live staples, and.... due to that one change, the new album that comes out sounds like perfect U2 to us. #;-}>
I guess I just mean that bands do change from album to album, but they probably also have secret sides and songs that were everyone to know, our ideas of what a band's sound truly IS might change already, just looking back at old stuff, let alone a new album that sounds weird and different (like I believe your first reaction to the new album was, at least to most of it).
I was just joking a bit that while XBox players have to pay, at least they get this whole achievement system with gamerscore and all that shit. Which is of course totally not worth spending any money on :p
But now that you say that even you as a PC gamer have something like that, it´s almost retarted to get the XBox version.
Well, if someone cares about gamerscore, you don't get that on Steam (at least, not yet). You get achievements in any game that has them (not all games do, like with XB360, but a lot do... I'd say of the 80 games I have, around 12 have them, and most are newer and good games, a lot of the games that don't have them are from the 1990s, so... pretty obvious why they don't have 'em, achievements weren't around back in the 90s).
But anyway, you can see your % achieved for each individual game. Here, this is my TF2 stats/achievement info page:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/gfawkes/sta ts/TF2
And here's my page for Portal, say:
http://steamcommunity.com/id/gfawkes/sta ts/Portal
And I bought my last videogame about 2 years ago. Which was Zelda: Twilight Princess by the way. But I´ll just keep TF2 in mind if I ever have some spare money and spare time.
Awesome.

TV shows have trailers over there? O_o
Um... maybe not "trailers" but more like... teasers? The things they show when saying: "Today/Later this week on $TV_Station!"
Ah, I see. Yeah, we call those "promos," as in promotions. Short little snippets.
Trailers, to me, means 2 minute movie ads. #;-}> The thought of a TV show getting that much advertising was somewhat disturbing. O_o
Well, much as I need to listen to more Blind Guardian, you need to watch more Charlton Heston movies. I believe I was referring to more of an Omega Man type Charlton Heston line of dialogue. He was the last human alive who wasn't mutated or whatever in that one. Good stuff, but not as famous as Soylent Green or Planet of the Apes.
I think Soylent Green and Planet of the Apes are the only movies I ever watched with Charlton Heston. >_>
PotA is a classic, and I know the famous scenes from Soylent Green though I haven't seen it, but... Omega Man is right up there with 'em!
HE'S THE LAST MAN. HE'S THE OMEGA MAN. HOLY SHIT!
