Indeed so. :)

I think that Seventh Son is an awesome album. Though I haven't gotten to Killers yet, I don't think I'm going to appreciate it as much as some of the others I have, due to the lack of Dickinson vocals. I think the next two on my want list is Powerslave and Piece of Mind. They should sate my appetite for now ;)

Personally my favorite is Somewhere in Time, mainly because it has so many of my favorite songs on it (Caught Somewhere in Time, Sea of Madness, The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and Stranger in a Strange Land). I've never heard anybody else say SIT is their favorite Maiden album; most people seem to go for Seventh Son or Powerslave, which are probably my 2nd and 3rd favorites.
Oh man I was so excited when I heard about the Somewhere Back In Time tour. It was nice to hear a set comprised of their older songs after the first Maiden show I went to where they played A Matter of Life and Death all the way through with only a couple of old songs at the end.

What a bunch of stupid fucks. Not liking SA or IV... *FaCePaLm*

Hahahaha, that's the iscrulz we all know and....love?

Damn right, I still can't comprehend how they don't like GTA: IV or SA. uhhhh... nothing.

Ugh, level 23 was the worst icon back then. Now it's no more. :D

It should have been redesigned as the the level 59 so You would be stuck with it. Muhahaha.

Who said level 60 was going to be for one user only? If the level gaps end up increasing, I'll just stick at level 57.

I assumed by tradition it would be but the scaling would be cut in half. If I was going to stop at a level it would be level 54, but if I want to make it in the Top 50 I can't afford to stop depositing. Well 382 days left to find out what will happen.

Why would I want it on the PS3 as well now that I have it on Steam?

The easy trophies that 'tis why.

Hey, I'm glad to hear more fans of Somewhere in Time. The album truly has some underrated masterpieces, most especially Caught Somewhere in Time and The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner. Infact, those two tracks are probably on my top 10 Maiden tracks, which I've still yet to decide but will make around the time they release their 15th album.

I've never heard anybody else say SIT is their favorite Maiden album; most people seem to go for Seventh Son or Powerslave, which are probably my 2nd and 3rd favorites.

Don't forget The Number of the Beast. That album is often mentioned but to be honest, I think it's rightfully so. I could care less how many people call it overrated just like how I could care fuck all to anyone calling FFVII overrated.

Oh man I was so excited when I heard about the Somewhere Back In Time tour.

So was I. As soon as I heard it, I was eager to get tickets but I was told it was too difficult to get them. Turns out it was my family's plot to make it a surprise for my 18th birthday (well, a week too early but close enough) and wow, what a surprise present it was. The only thing that could have made the concert better was better supporting act with my other favourites such as Helloween and Blind Guardian and not Avenged Sevenfold, Within Temptation and Lauren Harris, although I'll let her off as she's Steve Harris' daughter.

Hell, Maiden were enough to make it one of the greatest times of my life. The music setlist, the fans, everything! It's no doubt that Iron Maiden are one of the most respected bands in terms of both on and off stage as well as having one of the strongest fanbases out there and they deserve every credit they get.

You were afraid of my vengeful wrath and waited out the storm - admit it!

...Was it that obvious...? =O

But really, I should have posted that catch-up three or four days ago. But my uncle is around, so we had many ''events'' with him this week. It was pretty fun.

A couple of das ago, I listened to Muse's version of ''Can't Take My Eyes Of You'', and it's really good. I'm between that and Reel Big Fish's ''Take On Me'' and ''Boys Don't Cry''.

Never heard Boys don't cry - I'll look it up when I've gone through my Maiden :P

Hahaha, Ok then. It's a pretty short version, because it's a fast-paced version. It's less that 2 minutes long, I think.

It'd be the best publicity stunt ever, though. Faking your own death and, on your funeral, come back from the grave (literally). I still had hopes for his funeral, when everyone was watching.

I think it would have given a few fans heart attacks and he would not have been as popular as he once was in the immediate aftermath - though some of the fans would start worshipping him like a god, what with him coming back from the dead and all :P

Yeah, some would hate that stunt, but some would worship that forever. I'd find it really weird if it actually happened. I mean, he would have fooled everyone, left everyone sad, then come back and say ''Hey, what did you think about that? Now I can pay my bills with all the money my 'death'gave to me!''.

Oh yeah!

No, it's OOOOOOOOOH YEEEEAH!

OOOOOOOOHHHHH YEEEEAAAAAHH!!!

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.

I never got to play GT1, I think. But I do remember that some races in GT2 were crazy, especially those with HP limitations. The rally races were ridiculous, though. And if you had the mega-overpowered "Escudo", you were done.

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.

Yeah, I'd rather play on servers with more people. I usually got servers with about 6 on each side and the game still ran nicely, so I'd say it's pretty good.

Depends if the headbang is cumulative or not. =P

I believe it is.

Really?

105 points... 110 points... 115... :P

As I said to gfox, here's Brazil. Games are really expensive in here.

That sucks. :(

Yeah... at least my uncle lives in the USA and brings cheaper games. :)

Now I need to catch-up in the Regulars list, Members list, B/P 51+... =/

One word: OUCH!

When I think about the B/P 51+... ugh...

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.

Well, I don't think he'll lose it at anytime soon. He's still 20,000 B/P ahead of the other "competitors" and only harryjarry is keeping a nice pace.

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!

It still doesn't run like I can see in your videos. It only runs like that when I'm alone. But when someone enters the screen... LAG!

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. ;)

Check out Battle Hymns and Kings of Metal. Epic stuff. Disregard whatever Haggard will say about this.

Might do, depending on my "music mood". I'm currently in an alternative rock mood. :P

I still like to give genres to music. It's good for me to know what kind of music I need more. Let's say I really like Radiohead and I'm looking into more music in the same or similar genre. I'd know the right music to look into would be Alternative/Indie Rock.

That's a good point, but some people just cross that line really bad. I mean, I know some people who used to like My Chemical Romance, but after discovering that they were labelled as "emo", they simply stopped liking it. Out of nowhere. But hell, not everyone is like that.

This helped me a lot on getting into more Power Metal after discovering DragonForce and Helloween. As a matter of fact, the third Power Metal band I discovered was Blind Guardian and I randomly stumbled across them out of all the Power Metal bands out there. O_O Afterwards, I heard loads more Power Metal after discovering Last.fm and their radio stations.

Heh, I've known Helloween and Blind Guardian Since I was 5. Older brothers FTW! :)

I think a fireball would fit better. :P

Well, I don't really have a favourite album - so many of them have catchy tunes that I enjoy listening to. I quite like Flight of Icarus and The Trooper. But then there are such excellent tracks as Fear of the Dark and Childhood's End. Of course, I think I can pick a favourite track from each album of Maiden's that I've listened to, with the exception of Killers, as I haven't finished listening to that yet. However without Bruce, I personally don't think that Maiden truly had a chance to realise their potential.

No but I could make one for Companion Cube and L-Block. They'll be perfectly legitimate there.

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.

Whoa...

Thanks A LOT! I thought you guys were just mocking me... I can't believe you guys are actually going to do it!

Hey, no problem. We're willing to help some great people out with their troubles. :)

Oh, and that ''other person'' you meant... Wylo?

We did up until Wylo got it hmself. Me and gfox were talking about this last night and thought maybe Auz was interested as well. I'm not too sure myself, but whether he is or not, I still have another person in mind to gfit TF2 to.

What about Wylo?

I added him that same day! :)

Still need to find more known people, though. I'll have a look at the TF2 Crew in here.

Eh, give it some time. My friends list started small but grew to a decent 16 people. May not be a lot but it's nice and managable. However, I don't mind having more friends on Steam as long as they're not just random adds.

OOOOOOOOHHHHH YEEEEAAAAAHH!!!

THE MOOOOOOOOOON!

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.

I never got to play GT1, I think. But I do remember that some races in GT2 were crazy, especially those with HP limitations. The rally races were ridiculous, though. And if you had the mega-overpowered "Escudo", you were done.

Yeah, there were some hectic tracks. It was bad enough trying to do them in license mode.

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.

Yeah, I'd rather play on servers with more people. I usually got servers with about 6 on each side and the game still ran nicely, so I'd say it's pretty good.

12 players isn't too bad, but if a bigger server is possible, then great.

I believe it is.

Really?

105 points... 110 points... 115... :P

Where did my extra points come from again?

That sucks. :(

Yeah... at least my uncle lives in the USA and brings cheaper games. :)

Your uncle rocks!

One word: OUCH!

When I think about the B/P 51+... ugh...

I'd say the Regulars List is the worst.

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!

It still doesn't run like I can see in your videos. It only runs like that when I'm alone. But when someone enters the screen... LAG!

Well, my laptop no longer runs the game that fine. :(

Check out Battle Hymns and Kings of Metal. Epic stuff. Disregard whatever Haggard will say about this.

Might do, depending on my "music mood". I'm currently in an alternative rock mood. :P

Fair enough. Check them out whenever you can. :)

That's a good point, but some people just cross that line really bad. I mean, I know some people who used to like My Chemical Romance, but after discovering that they were labelled as "emo", they simply stopped liking it. Out of nowhere. But hell, not everyone is like that.

Ack, that's not too good. If they want to make a few exceptions with the emo tag, I'd say go right ahead.

This helped me a lot on getting into more Power Metal after discovering DragonForce and Helloween. As a matter of fact, the third Power Metal band I discovered was Blind Guardian and I randomly stumbled across them out of all the Power Metal bands out there. O_O Afterwards, I heard loads more Power Metal after discovering Last.fm and their radio stations.

Heh, I've known Helloween and Blind Guardian Since I was 5. Older brothers FTW! :)

Holy fucking shit! :O Now I feel ashamed for discovering them at the age of 15. XD

There's no fireball/Mega Flare icon. :(

Too bad. A fireball would match a dragon perfectly. Even on Newgrounds.

Level 61?

I believe he was. O_O

Whoa! So all those B/P points... could've been on his main? O_O

Who knows.

I wasn't happy. Next time it happens, I protest.

I hope it won't happen again. I wasn't very fond of it either.

Yeah, the pink layout was cancer to my eyes. While they were making breast cancer awareness, they needed to be easy on people's eyes.

They don't call it the "shit-blade" for nothing. But really, it's not too bad but still it could be better. Everyone has their own personal tastes, I guess.

Thanks for voting, NEVR! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 11,370 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 33. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 14 hours, 25 minutes, and 46 seconds.

Gonna have shurikens for a while now.

I feel bad that it wasn't his fault. I know he's not particularly a good driver, but no-one deserves to have that happen to them.

Yeah, a spring from Barrichelo's car hit him very close to the visor, which is the only sensitive part in the helmet. Now he has a pretty deep cut above his eyebrow. He was very unlucky, because it could've hit anywhere in the helmet, but the visor.

Well, I have a friend that has TF2, I'll try to remember his Steam username. He has made a couple of videos for is as well, but I also can't remember their names. Still, it's nice playing with people that you know. It's more fun. :)

Hah, I remember trying to get the "S" licence in GT2. I think the best one I got was a silver, in the rally track. At least the bronze times were really extended, so getting them wasn't that bad. The biggest problem was staying on the track. :P

Yeah, I'd rather play on servers with more people. I usually got servers with about 6 on each side and the game still ran nicely, so I'd say it's pretty good.

12 players isn't too bad, but if a bigger server is possible, then great.

IIRC, the last server I played on (before the free weekend was over) had 10 players on each team. And it was still running nicely, my ping wasn't that bad (probably around 170 or so). And it wasn't a local server, I think it was held in the USA. So I guess it also depends on the server connection.

I believe it is.

Really?

105 points... 110 points... 115... :P

Iron Maiden concert! That's worth 100 points.

Yeah... at least my uncle lives in the USA and brings cheaper games. :)

Your uncle rocks!

He's in China a few days ago. I ordered him a Chinese person to work for me, but I think that's not possible. =(

jk.

When I think about the B/P 51+... ugh...

Because the pages there are incredibly LOOOONG!

Well, my laptop no longer runs the game that fine. :(

Why not?

Heh, I've known Helloween and Blind Guardian Since I was 5. Older brothers FTW! :)

Holy fucking shit! :O Now I feel ashamed for discovering them at the age of 15. XD

Hahaha, only at 15? Heh, my brother began liking them because of his friends. Then he made a CD with Helloween, Blind Guardian, Iron Maiden, Avantasia... All the good stuff!

Too bad. A fireball would match a dragon perfectly. Even on Newgrounds.

Level 61?

At 66,660 Exp points. =P

I will share it with you double straw style like in the 50's Diner with a frosty chocolate milkshake.

Too bad you can't force other people's opinions.

I can coerce them too and if they don't have a favorite what I suggest to them will be their choice.

They'll most likely decide on coin tosses.

No, I will tell them what to vote for. They will listen if they know whats good fun them.

Who said level 60 was going to be for one user only? If the level gaps end up increasing, I'll just stick at level 57.

I assumed by tradition it would be but the scaling would be cut in half. If I was going to stop at a level it would be level 54, but if I want to make it in the Top 50 I can't afford to stop depositing. Well 382 days left to find out what will happen.

Yep, I'm sure everything will be fine, though.

I wouldn't be that optimistic though its still way to go but it will be here before you notice I don't want to be scaled on level 49.

Pffft, I don't want the damn trophies.

Then make sure you get Bioshock 2 for the PS3 then.

Nope, I'll get it for Steam.

Damn No PS3 for you then it looks like. Well Play away on the Steam then.

And in before Cooper yeah.

Not that it matters - I wouldn't have as much experience as him if I'd have been perfect through my career, so there's little I can do about it.

Oh lol I wish I had a 99.7% deposit rate then I would be in the Top 25 and Top 5 for VP. If only sigh.
