Not so long ago, this convo was 3 posts from SirNuts to me and 3 posts from me back to SirNuts... he got it down to only 2 posts back to me, and I have gotten it down to just 1 post back to him! A MIRACLE!

What is this, catch-up after my catch-up? o_O
Yep. It was a coincidence, though. I wasn't waiting for you to catchup to do mine or anything, it just happened to be there right on the page above my own. #;-}>
This left me a bit of curiosity regarding each character's nationality. So I searched for it and found this, which seemed pretty trustworthy.
Now: do you play more with the engineer just because he's from Texas? =P
No, it's just a bonus that he's a Texan. Besides, if that was the reason I played engineer most, wouldn't I always have played engie most?
When I first got TF2 13 months ago, I played Heavy and Scout most (Russian and American--Boston, specifically).... then I started to play Pyro most (who knows where he's from... some say Italian... I think he needs to either be hispanic or asian, personally, as TF2 is missing some real diversity #;-}>). And then I started to play Demo most (Scottish).
Engie was my 5th class to hit #1 playtime on my account, so... I didn't rush straight to him when I started playing. It took half a year or so for engie hours to pass all my other hours.
Honestly, when I saw the final roundin Baha's character battle, I had to search to know what the hell was a Pyramid Head. It seems he's a pretty popular obscure character that I'd never heard of.
Yep. You've gotta be a big SilentHill/ResidentEvil-type gamer to have met him. I haven't, but I found out about him on the web a few years ago.
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.
Tell that to the Rolling Stones. =P
Even they will not go on forever. Unless they're all vampires. WE SHALL SEE.
Indeed, but that's because you wrote a SHIT TON of things quoting my posts. Heh.
Yep. So we gotta fix that. Anything not that important to say needs to not get said. I've already clipped out 3 or 4 things of yours I coulda replied to but felt I shouldn't. You probably shouldn't reply to this in return. That will further decrease the INSANE SIZE of this conversation that started out as a simple single post from each of us and was up to 3 posts or so at its height. #;-}>
At least this topic itself will (hopefully) never get to page 37000. Though it probably will get to 3700, and then I'll have to suffer through 100 pages. Or else just disappear for 100 straight pages (sounds better).
But then you'll have to catch-up those 100 pages... right?
Like I told Rohan, I think it was, maybe I'll just ignore all 100 pages. #;-}>
I'm getting the hang of it, but I still find myself erasing the damned line. One thing that I did in this previous catch-up that i found quite useful was copying the whole post to notepad and checking if the lines were there or not. A little ''archaic'', yeah, but useful nonetheless. :)
Nothing archaic about that. I'm typing this line in notepad right now, dude. It's the only way to multiquote. You can't fit more than 8000 characters in a NG BBS response window, after all. Almost every time I multi-quote, even if it only ends up being 2 posts, instead of 4 or (hah!) 8.... I start out with so much quoted material it can't all fit in a single post. I edit it down as I go, while adding my own replies, of course, and... then cut it into <8k chunks in notepad, and paste back into posting windows.
Congrats, especially on BrigGen (my fave rank icon on OLD pre-redesign NG!) and 10+ VP!
Thanks! We know that Brigadier General is your favourite pre-redesign badge, I mean, it's your profile pic. =P
Well, before the redesign, my profile pic was of all 4 general rank badges AND the supreme commander badge. It was an animated profile pic, but then the redesign came along and made animated sigs and profile pics a thing of the past, so I had to pick a single frame of my pic to use, and of course I picked my fave. #;-}>
But before then, people would actually have had to ask me or see me saying it to know.
Well, I have a 1MB internet connection, which is pretty good, I suppose. The major internet backbone area should be São Paulo (everything is there, but WE are the capital, wth...), which is about 1100km (~700 miles) from here. I believe that most servers were held there as well.
Well, you're further inland, right? In the US, most of our backbones are along the coasts, so it doesn't surprise me much that it's the same in Brazil. Population on coastlines means it's the first place to build a pipeline/backbone, then you branch it off to the inland areas.
I went to a store the other day and saw that a PS3 game was about 50/60 dollars. That's why there's so much piracy in here. Another reason why I ask my uncle to buy games sometimes, since he lives in Washington. :)
Games here are 50/60 dollars, too, but I take it you're not talking about the same dollar as I am. #;-}>
Would your uncle buy you a nice boxed copy of the Orange Box? If so, you could probably get it even sooner than from Bahamut or me.
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?
Of course we're serious. Didn't we say that like 2 months ago? You thought we were joking or something? Why bother signing up to Steam and putting "please to buy me TF2?" in your profile there, then? Heh. #;-}>
Yeah, you can easily make 36 posts with gfox, just to show everyone the sword. =P
That's a grand idea.
If things starts getting too serious, LOOK AT THE HEAVY'S FACE.
That should be TF2's motto!
I think everyone would trade a 36 for a 99, in this case.
I'll take 136 instead of either of 'em. #;-}>
I'd rather 360. =P
Meh, this one could go on FOREVER.
Indeed. I'll take 36,000,000, and you can have 36,000,000 too and we'll call it a day. How about that? #;-}>
Nice guess, then. I actually got that album this year as a birthday gift from my brother. It was the only album from Foo Fighters that we didn't have, so now we have the whole discography (excluding special versions & etc...) :)
Really? How many albums do they have, anyway? That one was their first one, I assume. It's the only one I have.
Hahahaha, yeah. You ramble on for about 8 posts every time you catch-up. Even if it's a one-week catch-up. 8)
No... 8 posts is not quite the normal #. Usually it's 4-6 posts. #;-}>
This will be the 6th (and last) post of this week's catchup. I MADE IT! Whew. Just barely, though.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooe. Don't give up. ;_;
Well, you kinda encouraged me now. =)
Well, that's good.
Actually... I think he wouldn't care that much now. After the computer crashed with him a couple of times and he took a new part in his job (with special parking spot! =P), he decided to buy a laptop for his activities. So he ditched the old computer (which we use) and uses the laptop, most of the times (whic we use as lol. Actually, I'm typing from it now =P). He controls it more, of course.
Ah, cool.
He still asked me the other day what was I playing on the other computer and if it was online or not. But I'll try to talk things over with him. I know that steam is safe. =)
That sillyhead....
OCTO-POST.... INITIATE!
Shall we call Guiness and record this as ''Longest catch-up on NG''?
I think we should!
THE END.
