SPECIAL SIR-NUTS POSTS, since he wrote 4 posts himself, 3 of which seem to be directed at me almost solely. O_O

Set to the tune of Compliments by Bloc Party. AHEM:

I only erase those lines when I'm doing a bit of a pyramid quote reply, and the overall post I'm trying to make is near the NG limit, so I have to watch out for space-wasting things. But yeah, for the most part, that extra line is important so things look visually clean and less confusing. Good change, mate!

Level 28
Brigadier General
10 Total VP

Congrats, especially on BrigGen (my fave rank icon on OLD pre-redesign NG!) and 10+ VP!

Yeah, I should have let you know. Although I think it wouldn't work well, because I was playing mostly on Brazilian servers, and still I had ~100 of ping. Whenever I tried playing on a foreign server, that number raised to ~250, almost unplayable. So I just stuck with the local players.

Aw. That sucks. ;_;

What kind of connection do you have, and how far are you from the major internet backbone area of Brazil?

Yes. I can't buy it online, since you need a credit card for it. So the only legal option would be buying it on a store. I think the "Orange Box" is about R$100,00 (U$ 50,00).

Man, it's a lot cheaper in the past year most other places. It shouldn't still cost that much over there.

Anyway, worry not, me and Bahamut are gonna get just TF2 for you and Wylo, we just need a sale to make it more affordable first. 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.

I remember reading about this. Molotov used to be the original X-Naut, right? And what was X-Naut's nickname before the change?

Yes, Molotov was once X-Naut. Before he was X-Naut, he was about 10 other names, BTW. I once made a list of them all because he changed usernames like once every 2 weeks or at most once every month. Back in 2003-2004. But anyway, he actually stayed on X-Naut for YEARS. And that's why I and many others think of him/know him only as X-Naut. The bastard changed his name one last time to crappy ol' Molotov, and then a fake X-Naut moved in on the name that he had been known by for fucking YEARS. That led to the whole fake/real X-Naut dramas, which were really comedies, not dramas. #;-}>

But in short: what would you think if after 10 years of being gfoxcook on NG, I changed my name to chilimonkey or something and let some newbie take gfoxcook, and not only that... but this new gfoxcook posted in the SAME AREAS of the site that I still post, eh?

That'd be lame, confusing, weird, and.... many other things. So many that it's hard to find a single word that encapsulates the experience.

How's that even possible? Being jealous of... yourself? O_O

It's easy. I wish I could have the level 42 sword icon on THIS account, but I can't.

Years and years ago, many of us wanted a level system where you could DISPLAY any weapon you'd already earned in the past next to your posts and/or in your profile, if you liked it better than your current level's weapon. I so wish that system had come true with the redesign. But sadly, it did not. ;_;

lulz. I dunno, man. You sure gave me a run for my money on this very page of LUL. Good ol' 2436 (a celebration of my old retirement numbers from 2005, I just noticed).

So the pre-catchup (catchup?) is like a warm up/interlude to the big part that follows?

Something like that.

Another proof of teh perfectians of teh 36. #;-}>

Yes.

Oh wow... you never fail to detect anything that involves a 36. Do you have some sort of beep that warns you whenever a 36 is around? =P

Nope. It's a silent awareness that just comes over me.

Indeed. I recently passed 10 Total VP as well (with my only account =P ) and I thought I'd never get here when I signed up back in '06. It's surely a nice landmark.

Indeed it is. Gotta love the 10.00ness.

Well... I think you should be a little more ambitious with gfoxclock and gfox, post-wise. Go for something like... 336 posts on each. Then you could leave all the achievement posts for them. =)

gfox has never posted, and I see no reason to start now.

HOWEVER... since I'm going to retire his exp and his b/p.... it's possible that I'll want to show off his nice level 42 sword every now and then, so maybe I WILL start to post with him (some) on the BBS. We'll see. #;-}>

Hahahaha, their 37-ness affects their daily lives. =P

Those bastards. :::thhhhhhbpts iscrulz and Bahamut:::

TF2 is the most fun multiplayer FPS ever, and has no plot, no start and no finish, and... thus... comparing how many hours of a single player game with a storyline like a Zelda game... you have... to how much time in TF2... is not even comparing apples and oranges... it's like comparing eating chocolate ice cream to hiking up a mountain!

I can say that TF2 was one of the most fun games that I've played in a while. It doesn't have a serious ambient, unlike HL and CS, and the class variety is always a good thing. I really need to find it in a store.

Yes. It's very un-serious. Some people PLAY it seriously, take their skill at it seriously, or take losing/getting killed seriously... but all you have to do if you start taking it too seriously is LOOK AT THE SCREEN. It's so fun. It's meant to be a game, not a grind or a job like some games become to professional (or wannabe professional) gamers.

Gotta love the TF2s.

Look on the bright side - at least there aren't "OMFG leval 9 taiks 4EVAR!!!1!" users anymore! =)

True, true.

I think everyone would trade a 36 for a 99, in this case.

I'll take 136 instead of either of 'em. #;-}>

MOAR. MOAR. MOAR!

I meant by the end of the year, 2009. Right now, you have ~780 hours and going up, considering that you are playing it while I type this. =P

I'm around 800 right now, actually. Pretty close, dude.

So yeah, I'll be over 1000, just like I told you a month or two ago, by the end of 2009, sure. #;-}>

All of that for a game that basically cost 10 bucks. It's the best value in the history of video games. Epic.

"WOE BE TO THE PRESENT, FOR IT CANNOT COMPETE WITH THE PAST IN THE HUMAN HEART." -- Me, AFAIK.

Wow, why isn't that on your sig? =P

Bleh.

Yeah, by "active" I meant more than just depositing. For me, depositing is like a daily obligation. But posting/reviewing etc... isn't. So, for me, being "active" means doing more that the obligation. =P

Well... that blows, because my activity switches on and off all the time. #;-}>

Depositing, to me, is still activity. But to all a different definition.

Early days depositing-crimes?

But of course. I'll never live those early day depositing crimes down, as long as I deposit. But that's okay. They're the reason I'm so zealous now. #;-}>

Foo Fighters?

Correct! "This is a Call", to be exact. Now, I think that I shouldn't have mentioned the "begins with an F" thing. It made it too easy. =P

Awesome. Can't believe I got it. I have that album, but haven't listened to it in years, and I didn't remember those were lyrics from it. Was just a wild guess. #;-}>

OK then, just promise you won't change your quoting habits to something like "I ramble on for a whole page in just one post!!!" kind of thing. =P

Aren't they pretty much already there? #;-}>

Well... it was laggy, but it still was enjoyable. However, whenever there were six or more guys on the screen, it became really laggy, probably at 1 frame per second. So, for my own good, I had to run from those places, before it was too late.

I enjoyed it, sure. But I'm also sure it could have been a lot better if my computer wasn't so old. According to Can you run it, I need, for the recommended settings, more RAM and a new video card. To sum up, a new computer would do fine. =P

Try more RAM first. RAM is really cheap, relatively. And it might fix it for you, though the "six guys on screen at one time" making your framerate plummet sounds really distressing... hmph.

There's plenty of games on Steam far less demanding on computers than TF2, also. So... anyway, you're already on Steam if you played TF2 for free, so you HAVE indeed joined the collective. WELCOME ABOARD, UNIT 11482!

It's nice being part of the collective. It's so... ONLINE!!! =P

Mwahahaha. YES!

It was for ThePigeonMaster, I think. Basically, it's just a bunch of extra mute letters in Portugal + the different accents. We ruined Portuguese.

I'm sure to many people from England, Americans ruined English. #;-}>

Heh, this reminds me that I have this old & dusty Rockets cap in my cupboard. It's circa 1998, because I remember wearing it when I was about 4 years old. 8)

You do? Awesome.

Actually, there is a megastore here that seems to have the Orange Box every now & then. But... read below.

Well, I hope you can find it on sale, but if you can't... refer up to my comment about Bahamut and me helping you and Wylo out.

Still, I'm pretty much ditching the TF2 idea. It's laggy, it's online (OMG VIRUSES!!!!1!)... Maybe I'll be old enough to have a credit card when TF3 comes out, right? =P

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. Don't give up. ;_;

You need to talk things over with your dad and convince him that you won't get the computer all covered in virii just because you're playing a mainstream game online. O_o

I always preferred the Reel Big Fish version, to be honest. The horns just adds that extra something to it :)

I think I've said this before in here, but I consider Reel Big Fish's version one of the best covers ever - if not the best one.

I personally agree that it's the best cover of this song. However, my favourite cover version of a song ever is Spunge's version of No Woman, No Cry.

I can't tell when you've missed a deposit, to be honest. If you miss a lot, then I suddenly do, because of the margin for error.

So yeah, I'd wager you'll be gaining that ranking spot you've been drooling over for YEARS NOW by the 20th. #;-}>

As if you think it would have little significance for me? This is probably more significant than me passing iscrulz for B/P

Speaking of which, I'm now over 10,000 B/P ahead of Dream-of-Duke. Who'd have thought it?

Well, I should do - I've closed the gap by 1,000 Points over the last month down to 1,500 ish, so he shouldn't be able to put up too much of a fight.

Isn't it a bit closer than 1500ish now?

Yeah, but I haven't checked. It keeps up the suspense until Bahamut's update next Saturday ;)

I'd rather go into "life support" mode on NG than leave altogether is what it really boils down to. And I'm always thankful to see others who follow the same pattern, because it's better than no pulse at all.

No you kinda park up to it in such a way that you won't pick it up when you get off but will when you get on. This video probably explains it better than I can,but after he gets back on and the screen turns black pause immediately unless you wanna spoil the surprise.

Ah, okay. No need for me to watch the video, I think I envision the entire process somewhat accurately now. I'll definitely try that next time I'm in VC, and if I can't get it to work, then I'll refer to a vid for help. Thanks for letting me and Bahamut know about that.

Did iscrulz ever say if he knew about it already?

Don't think he mentioned it, then again it's not a very well known glitch, it's not exactly obscure but I reckon only about 10% of the people who have played VC know about it.

I think it sounds about right. Haggard mentioned that a mod deleted at least one post from a spammer so at accounts for one post, but when you think about it, he had plenty of achievements he could have posted in during his parole time.

It's a pity when some games are more simulations than proper games; funny you mentioned Gran Turismo because I bought #4 on PS2 and didn't get very far, I know that the handling physics are realistic but having played the likes of the Burnout games it was impossible for me to adjust to the more realistic driving style, sans 150MPH powerslides :(

Yeah, I should have let you know. Although I think it wouldn't work well, because I was playing mostly on Brazilian servers, and still I had ~100 of ping. Whenever I tried playing on a foreign server, that number raised to ~250, almost unplayable. So I just stuck with the local players.

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. :(

Stage dive = 50 points.

Iron Maiden concert = 100 points.

=P

Even better achievements. I believe I have 105 points already.

In a store?

Yes. I can't buy it online, since you need a credit card for it. So the only legal option would be buying it on a store. I think the "Orange Box" is about R$100,00 (U$ 50,00).

I'm not sure if The Orange Box is meant to cost that much now. It's only £20 here now.

I remember reading about this. Molotov used to be the original X-Naut, right? And what was X-Naut's nickname before the change?

Imposter X-Naut went through many name changes just like Xiivi but eventually he settled with X-Naut. I did some name changes in the past but wasn't ever able to find a name superior to Bahamut. Now, constant name changes is a thing in the past and that's a good thing. The dead links would be HELL!

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.

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. :)

Ouch, I understand his concern for viruses, but seriously? He's worried about you possibly getting any viruses from Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2 and such? 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. :)

And lastly: what's your Steam username? Even if you'll only be playing TF2 on free weekends for the foreseeable future, that's still better than nothing. Let me and Bahamut know it either here or privately via PM, and we'll friend ya!

Sir_Nuts, that would be. But I have already added you guys, anyway. =)

Yes but it's good to remember incase anyone else you know wishes to add you on Steam. I did try looking up your ID on Steam but I put a hyphen in the URL and didn't even think of underscores for your name. :S

Still, I'm pretty much ditching the TF2 idea. It's laggy, it's online (OMG VIRUSES!!!!1!)... Maybe I'll be old enough to have a credit card when TF3 comes out, right? =P

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.

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! And really, hating them just because they look 'gay' is such a pathetic excuse. You might as well hate Judas Priest and Queen for their vocalists being homosexuals as well. 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?

Oh yes, I've had a lot of fun listening to VRock. As a matter of fact, VRock has made me want to get some of Twisted Sister's stuff, despite the 'glam metal' tag they often get. Quite frankly, I could care less about what kind of psuedo-metal genre they are when they make kickass tracks such as I Wanna Rock and We're Not Gonna Take It. Infact, I was hunting down in the music shops for Stay Hungry today but sadly, I didn't see it anywhere. :( However, getting the two Mars Volta albums for £10 combined compensates that.

1. He's a legitimate character, unlike a fucking Tetris block.

You do realise that millions more people know what a tetris block is, gamers or non-gamers... than know what/who Pyramid Head is, right?

Here's the thing, Pyramid Head is an actual character, while a fucking Tetris block ISN'T! It's reasons like this why GameFAQs is one of the lowest forms of shitty communities on the internet along with YouTube and Facebook. As long as the characters are legitimate, I have no arguments over who's in the final. Seriously, it could be the blandest character you could possibly find and it'd be still more legitimate than a shaped block.

I'd argue that makes a tetris block far more legitimate for a character battle, really.

Seriously gfox, nothing and I do mean NOTHING can make L-Block a legitimate character. Calling L-Block a legitimate character is like calling Slipknot the founders of prog rock.

At least I shared my thoughts here.

I believe one of them was the food system or some shit. I'll ask him again to double check his reasons. My other friend who doesn't like GTA4 claims the game is boring and doesn't have the same feel as GTA3, VC and SA.

That's not true. That it's boring, I mean. Certainly it doesn't have the same feel as those three, though. It's a newer game than them, it's much better looking, the physics are TOTALLY different... don't go expecting the same ol' car and motorcycle crashes and stunts. You can still do amazing things, but if you don't do them just right, you're going to fling your body off the cycle or out of the windshield. #;-}>

Another complaint I have is how the blocking system is done in this browser. Firefox's AdBlock was much easier to use. Besides those issues, Opera is really good to me SO FAR. :)

You don't need adblocking on Opera as much, as it's more stable and secure than Firefox, and doesn't let pop-ups through as much as vanilla Firefox does.

I wish to take down most of the ads anyway as the majority of them irritate me. The only ones I'll want to keep are those that are displayed on this site. I mean, why is it that so many adverts on TV make me want to break the TV in the front room? It's because they irritate me so much. On the other hand, if I broke the front room TV, it would at least get us to get a HDTV at long last. What we have right now is a 13 year old TV. So yes, the quality of it is piss poor but at least it's lasted a really long time for a TV.

So if you want to stay logged in always, make sure to check that "stay logged in" checkbox BEFORE you hit the magic wand button.

That's what I've done and it hasn't done what I want exactly for saving my alt's passwords. Meh, I'll just use Firefox to deposit my alts, I'll be fine with that.

It was Rockstar's attempt at semi-realism. Every new GTA, they always try a few new things.

Well, the food system doesn't sound like the brightest idea they came up with at the time.

On the plus side, realism-wise... you can swim in GTAs now, instead of drowning immediately if you fall in a puddle of water like in GTA3 or GTA:VC.

THANK GOD! I always hate falling in the water in those games. Infact, many people seem to be rather traumatized with water in video games. I don't bicker too much on water-based levels/games as much as a lot of gamers do. Maybe since I love the Ecco and Tomb Raider games, I don't wish to complain about water in video games too much.

Also on the plus side, for GTA:SA: at least they didn't make CJ have to use the bathroom realistically. #;-}>

I will go nuts if there's ever a GTA game where you have to take the goddamn bathroom often. I'd say any game but...*looks at The Sims* Now that kind of game is fine to have characters having to eat, shit, shower and such.

Top 250 in EXP

Thanks to Kronno for allowing me to push him out of the top 250. :) Also, I've started playing the Monkey Island remake and so far so good. The only problem is, I'll be rather slow with playing this but slow and steady wins the race, right?

Oh, and here are the Top 250/300 EXP entry dates:

Top 300 - 21/1/09
Top 250 - 19/7/09

Pretty much 6 months between #251 - 300. I'm guessing it'll take 9 months to reach the top 200, so I predict I'll enter the Top 200 next April. Let's see if I'm right or wrong when the time comes.

2. The end already? He went slow with the first 7 parts, but part 8 he went and covered half of the disc 1. Part 9 had a reasonable length, but the finale went fast forward and covered three discs at once.

Despite those points, it was a good finale.

And that would explain how he magically always pops up in topics about him.

Well, anyone can pop up in a topic about themselves if they:
A) obsessively search for topics about themselves either on NG's search or google or something... or:

Yeah, but I think it would be weird if he did only that. You would say that he would at least post more often whenever he lurks through the BBS.

B) have a network of informants that would notify them via PM or e-mail or IM if such a topic ever occurs.

That seems like the most likely option then.

Still it´s weird though. It´s a single released in between two albums, like Electrical Storm, but both those albums were released shortly after eachother... Why not wait to release it with the album and make it the "promotional single" or something?

Well, Electrical Storm was a very different sort of single from U2. Instead of being associated with any one album like MOST singles are/were... wasn't it released on one of the decade-BestOfs double-discs?

Yeah it was released on the best of ´90-2000. Like The Sweetest Thing was on the ´80-´90.

We do have Under A Blood Red Sky here. My dad's bought all the albums U2 ever released except for Wide Awake In America and 16 singles. And I like how he got an original LP of October, even though our LP player doesn´t work so well anymore..

Oh, you do have it? Awesome. Well, listen to more Party Girl and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, then! They'll grow on ya.

Will do that :)

Nothing wrong with having old LPs but no way to play them. I have lots of old 1970s LPs but no record player as of now. Vinyl is nice just to have, especially for the HUGE cover art. #;-}>

Hehe yeah the huge cover art is indeed awesome. Although the October cover art wasn´t much special I think, except that it was nice to see the band in their very young years on the picture.

But the last time I listened to UABRS was several years ago I think. And I didn´t even listen to the album in full then. Just Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years Day perhaps and it´s how I got familiar with The Electric Co. (which is I think my second favourite U2 song ever). I just always skipped 11 O Clock Tick Tock and songs like that because I didn´t know them and didnt wanted to know them I guess.

Stop skippin'! Listen to the whole danged thing next time you listen to it. #;-}>

Will do next time, like I said :) Although I might just look them up on Youtube. Youtube being my main "music player" at the moment whenever I´m on my PC.

And now that I think about, I´m actually not that familiar with the early U2 albums, except for Boy. I haven´t given October and War a good listen yet. Should do that some of these days.

Is the only reason you're familiar with Boy because Electric Co from UABRS got you to listen to Boy beyond I Will Follow more?

Yeah pretty much I think. They also played the Electric Co on the live show I went to four years ago, so that´s also how I got to know that song better. Anyway I liked it a lot and got curious about the original. Then when I saw the album, I noticed that Out of Control and An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart were also on it, which I knew from the live DVD´s (Slane Castle and Chicago respectively). So then I just started to listen to the album in full.

War is an excellent album, start to finish. A couple songs on there I sometimes skip, but it's definitely in the top 5 U2 albums to listen to from start to finish.

Top 5 you say? Well then I´m curious if it´s gonna beat Achtung Baby, The Joshua Tree, Rattle and Hum, Boy or Zooropa (my top 5) :p

And yes indeed I thought No Line On The Horizon sounded a little weird at first. But I had the same feelings with HTDAAB. With U2 I just always gotta get used to it I guess. Giving an album a few more listens, it always starts to sound better and better to me. But in NLOTH case I´m afraid I´ll have to put it on the very bottom of my favourite U2 albums list. It just doesn´t appeal to me that much.

Ah well. They can't live forever. At some point their music is either gonna disappoint you or they're gonna stop releasing it. One way or the other, it has to end.

That´s true I guess. Perhaps my expectations of them have just become a bit too high over the years.

What is this Steam I keep hearing you talk about by the way? I know it´s something for PC gaming, but I´m not quite sure what it does... =/

Steam is a program by Valve (the makers of all Half-Life, Team Fortress, Portal, and Left4Dead games) that lets you buy and install and play 100s of games by many different production companies without having to worry about copy protection or losing discs, boxes, or manuals. It lets you install and play the games on any computer in the world you want to (but you can only be logged in/playing on one computer at a time).

Aha, I figured it was something like that. Sounds like a really handy program if you ask me. And how much do you pay for a game on average? Are they much cheaper than in the stores?

Those links to game stats in the post of mine you were replying to... they can be followed on the web, like you just did, or through Steam itself (Steam is built on IE, unfortunately, but it runs fine even so). It also lets you keep a friendslist, and IM with your friends, find games to play that your friends are already in, and do full chats in groups you can join.

Alright. So it´s also like a big community a bit similar to Newgrounds?

I got bronze a couple days ago.

I was neutral for most of the time until I started to switch back at Level 14(Classic). I am for only for a few minutes but I could switch before I deposit when I am at level 47 near 48.

Dayum I only got 200 exp wait on its a week early Whew

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. :)

Are you kidding the Level 23 sizzle stick was great. I was about 3 years from it, so if there was no redesign I would still be 1 year away from it, But Level 22 was my favorite so it would be tempting to stop 10 experience sort of level 23 though.

Yeah we should have gotten to known each other back in the day. So lets get to it then. Also whip-out your strap-on and plow me up the ass until it hurts like hell.

Ohhhhh deeeeeeear.....

That was some good clean fun. I guess she left or it was Coop that whole time.

You're right but RR didn't retire he went emo and left or the zombiez got him at work. He would have made so gifs annoucing his retirement. He was a huge daily depositor like you and me so I don't have a clue why he would leave, he should give his accounts to me

Emo zombies, eh? What an interesting new spin on your old theory... what a way to go. o_o

Yeah maybe the zombies turned emo and then RR got infected by them he deposited once so he must be alive he just gave up on the site.

And now his account sits dormant. I would take it and start depositing for it after I passed it so Cooper couldn't get a +1 exp rank.

Zombies was one thing. EMO zombies, OTOH... man....

They IMO like shitty melodramtic music and try cutting themselves instead of groaning and eating flesh.

Well NHL and NBA are over its just baseball and waiting for college and football. Speaking of baseball how is game 3 of the Tigers and Astros going. ::Checks:: dang commercial... poker. 4 to 3 YAY it wasn't a sweep.

Congrats to yer Tigers.

Yes congrats to thy Astros

Hey they are in the Western Conference, if they were in the Eastern or beat Pistons I would bash them like I do to FF. Well next year lets have faith both teams will rebound and make it furthre in the playoffs. As for the Astros as of this moment fuck them.

LOL. Why? Your Tigers are done playing them for the year, unless somehow both of our crappy teams (relatively) get to the world series by some miracle. Course, they've both made it there within the past 5 years, but... dunno if they can both do it again so soon. #;-}>

Well wait they are then it must been interleague now or division like that. The Tigers if they keep there streak up will make the playoffs after that they won't. Astros last time I checked 2 weeks are 4 games behind. The chances of them both in the world series any year is always low

Well is there an accent in either direction, I can't think of anything else it would be,

There's no accents above letters in Japanese. English letters, I mean. Japanese characters themselves have two different marks that can be above and to the right of them... and those marks are somewhat like an accent mark in appearance, I suppose, but rather than affect the vowel sound like accents do in Europe, they change the consonant sound (for instance sa becomes za with such a mark, or ta becomes da).

Then fuck, it was something like that mark I knew it was a motherfucking O something. If I remebered were I found it I would check it agian.

the Wii has lots of charactres like that, so I will check, I won't check.

Wii has characters like that for people trying to type in Spanish or French or whatever, dude, it's nothing to do with Japanese.

Okay but fuck it NG doesn't support most those characters.

If I try to blam on Firefox but vote 2 by accident, that will be happening on gfoxclock, which will continue to get BOTH blams and saves for years from now, dude. So no, I wouldn't be screwed, I would be fine. O_o

Yes I see it but there's always a chance you could be screwed somehow. Never know when it many happen.

No, because I never vote less than 2 in Opera, and thus even if something I vote 2 on gets blammed, I don't get a blam. I never slip and vote 1 or 0 by mistake, dude.

It has happened to me and the flash ending up being blammed it I didn't want any saves, I think it was the latter. I screw up my blam and save mini-retirements because of slip ups. I don't have Opera so I can't do that method.

The days are passing and Bahamut hasn't gotten FO3 lets dis dragons and spell Dream Theather with -re and switch to FAB.

Only he HAS gotten it. For STEAM. Mwahahahaha.

Well uh he is still getting a PS3 and I will make him get agian for all the trophies.

Haha! That'd be kinda like someone in TF2 claiming they don't give a damn if you own them by killing them, all they wanna do is kill you.

So after you kill them about 20 times with them killing you only twice, you can sit there and go "so, were those 2 kills worth it, mate?" and laugh.

Well it wouldn't be to most be but to some it would ease there mind they finally killed a bastard. I would go after a team killer with that statement above.

But I really doubt that's how Coop meant it. #;-}>

Well however he meant it still means I am at war.

Ahhh, so my pentalist stats are the original stats to you, eh? What a compliment.

Yeah I guess I am not going to get anal about it and only count the stuff from 99.

There's just one problem: on my original list, there weren't even all those stats. There were just exp, b/p, and posts. Even if you want to split b/p up and say blams and saves were both original on my list (they were, but not in separate columns), there were no REVIEWS on my original 10k+ list. So... even flash reviews only isn't original.

Well I don't remember why you didn't include flash reviews or just plain reviews in your 1 by 10K list but when I joined there was review stats so its orginal and Yep the penta list topic has B/P or B-P so I guess I should have noticed it.

But yes, if we're talking about NG itself, of course.... blams came after exp, saves came after blams, etc.

or did blams come after saves. The old B/P system maybe just blams were given out I can't recall, I want to know if I got 1 blam back in my first 4 months or the UJ system of everyone that voted got te point when I joined. Whats the old url to profiles so I can check its all java blah open(profile x) when I try finding old links.

Good riddance to you Cooper now if you can retire on 60,000 B/P it would be great. Which alt will you be using.

"Good riddance to you Cooper"... heh. Funny stuff.

Good riddance, to you, Cooper.

But in all seriousness... USE SOME DAMNED PERIODS AND COMMAS, MAN. Jeez. O_o
