I don't, but I wish to get the game. I really need to take a look at the PC and Wii versions and decide which console I'll get it on.

I probably shouldn't rub it in, but Portal is another excellent game by Valve.

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

Thanks! I'm really grateful now. I'll pay you back... whenever I go to England, that is. :P

Hey, it's not that necessary for you to pay me back. As long as you get the game and we're all happy, that's all that matters. :D Like me and gfox established already, we're willing to help out great people such as yourself.

BEAUTIFUUUUUUUUUL!

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.

Yeah, server connections and speeds can differ between different servers.

Where did my extra points come from again?

Iron Maiden concert! That's worth 100 points.

But what about the 110, 115, etc?

I'd say the Regulars List is the worst.

Because the pages there are incredibly LOOOONG!

I do apologise for the huge ass posts. ;_;

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

Why not?

I dunno. Either Steam has a fault with the client that causes all Source-engine games (besides Portal) to lag often or I really need a faster connection. It seems 2MB isn't enough these days. Plus, we're paying for 2MB cable when we could be having 10MB fibre optic.

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!

I'm glad you got into them that way. :D My sister found out about Iron Maiden, Helloween and Blind Guardian because of me. She really loves Iron Maiden, but isn't a big fan of Helloween or Blind Guardian. She likes some of their songs, though. BTW, what are your thoughts on Blind Guardian?

Level 61?

At 66,660 Exp points. =P

Naw, 77,770 EXP. :D

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.

So they were the possible cause of your previous appointment at the optician?

.....Perhaps. T_T

Shame. Hopefully you will get it soon regardless of price as they're truly great albums. I got a good deal with two Mars Volta albums with that offer and I hope to do the same for getting two Radiohead albums today. :)

Yeah. Many people were worried, thinking that it could've been similar to Senna's crash. Thank God it wasn't.

Yeah, that would've been another tragedy for sure, thankfully he's looking ok at the moment.

No but no I must sincerely say get well quick. I don't follow any type of racing but serious injuries and fatal crashes are something to be concerned about, and all We rednecks are still mourning the lost of 3 Dale "The Intimadator" Earnhardt.

Indeed. Those crashes are always something to worry about. Some of them don't look that bad, but they might be worse than they look. We were all worried even more than usual, since we had Henry Surtees' death earlier this month.

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.

A 4" gouge was carved in Massa's helmet, which was quite worrying.

Yeah, I also heard that the total weight in the impact was about 150kg. Massa was going pretty fast at the time, and that spring is quite heavy as well.

I see. We have a 1MB connection here, and it's one of the causes of the lag. We wanted to change to a new provider, but it isn't working around here. They might open a station nearby, with cable TV, telephone and internet services for a pretty good price, but it's unsure.

It seems our definitions of "epic" aren't the same then. One drum riff and two guitar riffs are far away from "epic" in my opinion. :P

If Sir-Nuts wants to check out epic albums he should buy Death's "Human" or "Individual Thought Patterns" or some stuff from Bolt Thrower.

Looks like I touched a nerve here. Look, I'll get to purchasing it at some point. Right now, I've got 7 Maiden Albums and have 'borrowed' an 8th off my brother.

Iron Maiden
Killers
Number of the Beast
Somewhere in Time
Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
No Prayer for the Dying
Fear of the Dark
Edward the Great 'borrowed'

From the collection I've got, I'm reasonably happy. The more well known tracks that aren't on the actual albums I own are in EtG - Flight of Icarus, The Trooper, 2 Minutes to Midnight, for example.

I'll get to owning them, before I go for the live stuff. Flight 666 is quite appealing as well :P

A cancellation just for a football match? Not a smart move, but I guess they didn't want any hassle concerning their country losing against Brazil in FIFA World Cup 2002. Still, the fans would have still been there for the music and wouldn't really care about who won in the football match.

Naw, 77,770 EXP. :D

Hahaha, agreed, but we could have something at 66,660 exp, right?

Yeah, we need something for 66,660 EXP. Satan icon?

.....Perhaps. T_T

Well, send the bill to Tom Fulp, then!

Naw, not only Tom is too kind but the taxes cover that money up.

Oh yes, The Bends and OK Computer for £10. Definitely a great deal for two well received albums.

Okay.
HammerFall (Glory to the brave), Rhapsody - and I still call them "Rhapsody" not "Rhapsody of Fire" - (Dawn of Victory), Luca Turilli - can't name Rhapsody without naming him - (King Of The Nordic Twilight) and of course Iced Earth (almost all albums, but especially epic is the live album "Alive In Athens").
So much for power metal.
Classic metal... wow. Where should I start and where should I end? ^^
Deep Purple, Blue Öyster Cult, Uriah Heep, Led Zep, UFO, Sabbath, ....

Those are what I would call "epic". Manowar is left in the dust by all of them.

Well, most would have gone there only for the music. But almost everyone in Brazil (including me) has at least a little bit of fanaticism over football. Some people go a little over the hedge and take it too damn seriously. And it's likely that someone would have brought a sign regarding the match result.

150G-force impact? Nah, It can't be - the spring only weighed at 1kg and you're talking a 4-5G impact incurred from the speed that Massa was travelling, surely?

I'm not too sure about that either. But I saw in the news yesterday that the impact could be compared to being shot or being hit by that spring if it was released from the top of the Empire State. I mean, Massa was at almost 300Km at that time.

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.

I missed a deposit on gfoxclock and gfox on last Saturday. And for the third Saturday in a row, I didn't log on NGlog. I haven't had daily bppd tracking in almost a month now. It's insane.

I still need to finish Overlord 1 before I go getting Overlord 2. Also, due to the silliness of Overlord's production company, I can't play the DLC/expansion pack/whatever for the first game on Steam, so... my impetus to get 2 even once I've finished 1... is lessened.

Monkey Island I am ALL over, once they do a big Lucas Arts pack sale. There's a ton of stuff I want beyond just Monkey Island, hence my patience at this point.

Having Plants vs. Zombies to tide me over helps a lot, too.

Here's hoping they bring over Monkey Island 2 and Grim Fandango as well, cannot wait to get them + 1 for Steam. GET ON IT, LUCASARTS/whatever the name of that other adventure game company is that's working on some of these modern adventure games/remakes/episodic things as well.

100 pages of no catchups? Well if you did disappear I could only imagine the size of the catchup you'd have to do to compensate for your absence :O

I see.

Well, I was thinking more of Bedn's posts from before he ever got into legal trouble in the first place, actually.

Speaking of level 42... Hmmmm... it seems that when I hang it up around Clock Day for gfox to stay put at lv42 FOREVAH, he'll have gained about 2 months and 10 days of depositing. So, I'd wager you'll be passing ol' gfox sometime during early January 2010. I seem to recall reading text while getting quotes together for this catchup in which you told Coop you wouldn't be entering the top 200 exp very soon. But I really doubt gfox's gonna fall out of the top 200 exp THAT fast when he's climbed up all the way to around #175 right now. So we'll see what happens with him and you next year, I s'pose.

Hey, it's still possible. It's just no-one has ever tried to get two EGSC accounts before. The closest for an alt EGSC is Afro_Stud's LevelOneAccount, unless I'm forgetting someone...

Here's the thing, Pyramid Head is an actual character, while a fucking Tetris block ISN'T!

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.

Well, a shaped block is a pretty bland character. #;-}>

Seriously, dude... the definition of "character" is very very subjective. Most characters in video games would be scoffed at as characters in a novel, say. Non-human beings are characters, so why can't a block be one, too?

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.

Seriously, Bahamut. If Slipknot were some oranges, and prog rock were bananners, then maybe the L-Block would be an apple.

That's what I do. It's a lot easier to switch between multiple accounts in firefox than opera, yes, which is why gfoxcook = opera, and firefox = the others.

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

Don't get me wrong, you can go to restaurants in GTA4, but it's more a part of the date/hangout minigame system, not necessary for normal gameplay.

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.

Yep. Water's teh goodness.

It takes real skill to do the graphics right underwater, as well. No matter how good a game looks in the air, underwater POVs are a challenge. Gotta have that underwater murkiness without making it TOO hard to see, yanno? Good game design challenge, and every game tends to do it a bit differently.

I declare it as pulling a gfox because you were the first to go on about URLs in posts.

Pffft.

I never "went on" about them. I don't notice URLs that don't LOOK like URLs in posts, because I tend to cut and paste posts into notepad rather than reading them in the actual BBS window. And since notepad doesn't preserve the link, it's just the text of the link, not the URL, and... yeah, you know what I'm talking about (so I guess this was more for anyone else's benefit, if someone besides you is reading this part).

just. paste. the. link. Don't turn it into a text-link, leave it as a URL. Simple enough, even grandpa can do it! Then everyone can see it's a link and follow it, whether they're reading in a browser or notepad!

The only other one I can think of is Muffin, but that's got less. Unless you count Fro's "alt", Dream-of-Duke. Personally, I'd let the account rot, since he won't get any thanks from that ungrateful turd.

It only counts if the alt was made by the person who made the main, IMO. Inherited alts don't count, or Xiivi + Nemesis would be a potential double EGSC in the future, and I don't think that's right. hmph.

Anyway, I'm sure I'm not even the 2nd closest to it after Afro and his lvl1acct, seeing as how gfoxclock only has 2540 or so b/p.

Congrats.

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.

If it takes you 9 months to reach the top 200, that means gfox will lose... say 50 rank spots between now and then. I find that hard to believe.

As I said in an above post, gfox's exp retirement number is a number you'll reach in January 2010. I won't guess as to whether you'll hit the top 200 before or after you pass him, but I will say it won't be 4 months after you pass him. That's insane. O_O

That seems like the most likely option then.

Probably, yeah.

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.

Ah, but there's a difference between those two, at least for me. I'd never heard OR heard of Electrical Storm until 90-00 best of started being talked about.... but I already owned Sweetest Thing for years and years before the 80-90 best of came out, because it's a b-side on one of the Joshua Tree singles. Can't remember which one, as I have 2 or 3 from that album.

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.

Yeah.

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.

I hear ya, man. I use itunes, too, but for music I don't own or for music I do own but haven't ripped from CD to my harddrive yet, youtube is the quickest way to hear it. I probably use youtube at least as much as a music player as I use it as a video viewer.

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

Well, like I said... "albums to listen to from start to finish," I'm not sure if that's really exactly the same thing as "best albums." For instance, TUF has some great songs on it, and it's one of my fave U2 albums, but it's not in my top 5 to listen to from start to finish, because it has a real dragging portion between the first 4 songs and then Indian Summer Sky/Bad near the end.

Anyway.... I'd definitely rather listen to War all the way through than Rattle and Hum. That'd be the one of your five I'd swap with War.

October's good to listen to all the way through, though a lot of the songs are very similar-sounding, way moreso than on any other U2 album, IMO... it's not really their fault, seeing as how the lyrics briefcase was lost/stolen and they had to redo so much musical composing at the last minute... and I really like a lot of the tracks on it, like Fire and October (that one stands out from the rest, for one), and With a Shout, along with of course Gloria... but yeah, not good enough to make it into a top 5 listenable list.

I'd agree with you about Zooropa needing to be in the list, and I don't think any album since then comes close, though maybe ATYCLB is closest. For me, I guess I'd have to go:

start-to-finish listenability:

1 Achtung Baby
2 Joshua Tree
3 War
4 Boy
5 Zooropa
6 Unforgettable Fire
7 ATYCLB
and then POP, October, etc. Can't really rank 'em at that point.

but you'll note the above list differs from my "fave album" list, in order at least:

1 Joshua Tree
2 Achtung Baby
3 Unforgettable Fire
4 War
5 Zooropa
6 Boy
7 POP
etc.

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.

That's a good thing, though, since it means they produced enough good schtuff to get our hopes up. #;-}>

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?

New games will often cost just as much as they do in stores, $50 is the average US new game price for PC games in store OR on Steam. But Steam has a lot of $20-$40 range games. Don't shop at stores often enough to know how well they discount on not-quite-super-new-or-super-big games, but my impression is that Steam goes a bit lower.

But the main way Steam wins is this: Steam does a weekend sale almost every week, and occasionally a week-long sale, and every year at the end of the year, a big holiday/winter sale on almost everything on the site.

The sales can be on individual games, a whole game series, a pack of multiple games/series, or even EVERY game from a specific company.

I'd say at least 60 of the 82 games I own on Steam were via sales, and I saved anywhere between 25% to 75% off those 60 games due to the sales.

The packs that go on sale, BTW, are already a good value to get on Steam, as they already have a sale-like discount built in. When an already good-value pack goes on sale, it's almost as good as getting a game for free. #;-}>

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

Yes. There is a forum, too, but it's not directly in Steam, it's in its own website, and you have a different login on the forum than you do for gaming.

But yeah, there's messaging each other similar to NG PM only realtime IM.... there's profile comments, like NG.... there's profiles, of course... and there's a forum.... and there's games to play like NG's flash games, only... yeah. "Real" games. Heh. #;-}> And hell, even movies to watch (demos and promos for games, of course)!

So yeah, it really is a lot like NG if you think about it, only less advertising (you'll only get ads when you sign on in the first place, or if you visit the store), and tons more money-sucking than NG despite that. #;-}>

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

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

I wanna play a Left4Dead level where the zombies are emo zombies. Sounds like easy headshots.

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

Chances of the Astros being in the World Series in 2005 weren't very high, either. Anything can happen in October!

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.

um, okay. But a blam vote either results in no point or a blam point, and a save vote either results in no point or a save. That error on NG years ago where you'd get a save for being the 100th vote on a movie, even if you hit blam... that error is GONE, thankfully. And vice versa.

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.

You do realise that the "trophies" are in the Steam versions of Fallout 3 and GTA4, don't you?

You have to make a Games4WindowsLive account or whatever, but once you do that, you get achievements in both games.

The only game I have that should have achievements but doesn't is Bioshock (not sure why it doesn't use the same G4WL system, but ah well). Bioshock's such a good game, it's not that big a deal. I kinda want to find out what you have to do for the achievements in it, though, and then think of whether I've done them all once I've finished the game (which will be soon, I'm finally on the last level, nearly 14 months of owning it and playing it WAY TOO SLOW #;-}>).

iscrulz likes being his own sloppy seconds!

I love getting screwed up the ass even if it by a werewolf wannabe with a wolf penis strap-on. I will sloppy seconds and so on.

Yeah its all these britfags and I think other Europeans. The rest are in southern Amerikkkan any Aussies I don't know probably.

Dude, of course I know there's a lot of Europeans and Brits on Wi/Ht?, but surely there are more Americans than you, me, and whoever else you mentioned. What about 36holla? Corky? idiotbuster? etc. There's plenty others. I just don't happen to know the country of origin of EVERY regular around here, so... I couldn't recall offhand, but I knew you were undercounting.

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.

Yes, that would be a bit overly anal. #;-}>

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.

It was because the list was created because I noticed we had one user with 10,000 exp and 10,000 posts (Shrapnel), one user with 10,000 exp and 10,000 b/p (NemesisM66), and one user with 10,000 b/p and 10,000 posts (biteme), and NO others. Those were the three, IIRC. No one had 10,000 reviews back then, so there was no chance for that to be the impetus for the list.

Anyway, XwaynecoltX is the reason reviews were added to the list at some point.

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.

No, blams were around for awhile before saves came about. I don't know how old blams are, but I do know that saves started in October 2002. I started posting on the bbs in January 2003, and there was much talk about saves, as they were the relatively-new stat at the time.

Blams originally were only for the blamming vote itself, not all the 0s and 1s up to that point.
