That's what an Object Battle is for. ;)

Half-price off happens all the time for it, so it'll be here before you know it. If you're never going to be able to play with us due to ping, that kinda blows, but... you can still have fun on local Brazilian servers, at least.Are you serious? But that's just... insane! I... don't know what to say! Are you seriously going to do that or you're just mocking me?
We're not mocking you at all. We understand your problems and would be more than happy to help you out. There's another person we have in mind to get TF2 for him.
Yeah, I saw it. Actually, I'm logging there every now & then, just to see if I know anybody else that I should add. Having only you and Bahamut feels kinda... empty. =P
What about Wylo?

No, it's OOOOOOOOOH YEEEEAH!
I spent a shitload of time on the first two Gran Turismo games. I did borrow the third one time but it wasn't as great as its predecessors. :(I played GTs 2, 3 and 4. I spent a lot of time in all of them, even though I never got to fully complete the game (in GT4, I think it had 98% of the game).
I must have played GT2 more than GT1, but I don't think I ever finished it 100%. The challenges in that game were crazy. I still wish to pick up GT1 first before the sequel as I want to go back to where it all started and remember how much I loved the PS1 era of Gran Turismo.
Ouch, that's a nasty ping and it's worse when most servers have a ping limit. L4D seems more lenient as my sister and her boyfriend have gone over 300 (even 1500 one time) and didn't get and kicks or such. The game must have played like shit, though. :(Well, the servers I played didn't have a ping limit (I think). Usually I was the guy with the highest ping, around 200. And yeah, the game wasn't the best, but I did get some decent international servers. Not too many people were playing on those servers, though.
You will get some rather empty servers and it's better to play in a more active one, even if it means for the game to play slightly slower.
Even better achievements. I believe I have 105 points already.Depends if the headbang is cumulative or not. =P
I believe it is.
I'm not sure if The Orange Box is meant to cost that much now. It's only £20 here now.As I said to gfox, here's Brazil. Games are really expensive in here.
That sucks. :(
Now I need to catch-up in the Regulars list, Members list, B/P 51+... =/
One word: OUCH!

The one who is likely to win here is DrJam who appears to be more active then the top 3 B/P'ers.Yeah, I've noticed that Afro's pace has dropped slightly. But he still has a great advantage over the others in the top 5.
I wouldn't say entirely, but he's still managing to keep it up. However, at his rate he's going to lose the top spot and to be honest, that would be rightfully so.
EXACTLY! That's another good thing as to why the new level system is awesome and the old one is bullshit. The worst thing about the old system was how long it took one user to reach level 29. Like hell I'll still be here in 80 or so years time trying to get that level.Exactly. There's a higher variety of levels and it doesn't take that long to reach them. And the amount of experience necessary to reach them is fixed, so we can calculate exactly when we'll reach them. It's much better.
Assuming Pimp reaching level 60 won't be increasing the gaps. :P But yeah, the level is much more accessible now and the requirements for all the levels are fair besides 59. I mean, spending over 10 years of depositing for THAT?! DO NOT WANT!
As a matter of fact, I actually once considered stopping at one level because I refused to stay with that stupid staff for years. I was thinking of stopping at level 22 on the old system assuming it was still there. However, that plan has lost all meaning thanks to the redesign. :)Really? I never thought of stopping at any level, mainly because I was only at level 9 (the damned level) when the redesign came. I had a favourite on, though. The chain (14, I think) was one of my original goals. I still think it's pretty neat.
The chain was level 15. I have to admit, I don't really like the redesign chain as much as the old one. The old one felt more in your face than the new one.

That's going too far considering these are online games by Valve, one of the most trustworthy companies out there. Their Steam client clearly suggests that as they require credit card details in order to purchase anything from their store and have they done anything besides acquiring legitimate money from customers? Not at all. :)I know. It's a pity that he's too concerned about it. He even changed our anti-virus program (Norton to McAfee) because "Norton wasn't protecting shit". Valve's protection is great, I already told him, but he still refuses to believe. He has yet to understand that not everything on the internet is THAT dangerous as he thinks.
Here's hoping he'll understand how trustworthy some places on the internet can truly be.
How bad are the lags exactly? I often get the game going to 15 - 25 FPS, even though my laptop is clearly capable of running it at 60 FPS. I believe either there's a Steam client issue or my internet simply needs upgrading. After all, I should be having 10MB and not a 2MB cable which is outdated.The lag is what least bothers me. The fact that my dad bothers me and I have to play it hiding bothers me more. I think the game runs at 15 FPS as well, maybe slower.
For what you thought couldn't play well on your computer, that's not too bad. At least it's somewhat playable, but as for my laptop, having it run at 15 - 25 FPS most of the time is inexcusable!
FOR ROCK N' ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLL!I don't know much about Manowar, but I quite enjoyed what I've already heard from them. Especially this one, which is a real anthem. ;)
Glad to know I'm not the only one who enjoys their music. I still wonder why so many people hate them just as much as they hate My Chemical Romance and such. They're not THAT BAD, dammit!
Check out Battle Hymns and Kings of Metal. Epic stuff. Disregard whatever Haggard will say about this.
The worst part about people calling Manowar gay is the fact that Manowar have written a song or two about raping women. HOW can that be gay?That isn't gay, but it sure isn't nice either.
It's definitely not nice, but it certainly can't suggest any homosexuality.
