Well, I guess it depends on what you consider to be bad. -I'm pretty sure you're not going to impress any of the regulars in this thread, though. :P

Also, 21,000 saves. :)

With that vote, you now have 5,880 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 24. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 18 hours, 50 minutes, and 29 seconds.

~ smooches ~

My dream level, Congratulations Faggard (& the rest of the users who reached goals!)

I had 3,333 blams a few hours ago (does that count,xD) Just got my Porkchop Whip of +15 Training, topped 2500 posts, and of course 10,000 saves. I don't know which of those count, but hooray for 10k protections.

Okay, I've got to be careful with this new flail - spiky madness could result in nasty in juries for the uninitiated while trying to hurt others...

Level 43

Time for an aura change!

Oh...

Right...

Of course, nothing beats that for you.

Oh I don't know - Level 43 is pretty special :P

Neat! I'm .24 VP away but I'm getting there. Of course, this won't be until January. Ah well.

That'll come around soon enough. Plus tomorrow is the nice reward of being confused with life and deckheadtottie once more :P

Goddammit, why can't one of you stop depositing forever so we can have one less person to confuse with?

Why don't you ask life and deckheadtottie that?

If you're confused, I can help... I think. Just throw some stats at me and I'll do my best to explain.

I can´t recall any at the moment. But don´t they have like an average for every run, every homerun, every time they hit the ball, every catch etc.?

Well, batting average is the number of hits (1, 2, 3 bases or a home run) over the number of chances to hit. This should be multiplied by 100 to express as a percentage, but Americans have real trouble with that, expressing percentages as decimals :P

Home runs is easy - the number of times they hit the ball out far enough that they can touch 1st, second, third and home bases in succession without being out. The record for this is 73, set by Barry Bonds, though everyone knows he was on HGH for this :P

On Base Percentage and Slugging Percentage are the ones that I always mix up. I'm not sure if that's what you are referring to.

I just reached level 10. Been stuck on level 9 way too long...

<3 Bourque. Haha. 2001, they were absolutely stacked obviously, they won the Cup, but it doesn't take away from what you pointed out up above (the text I deleted to keep this post short.) Roy was an excellent leader, and even though they had more leadership in '01 then any team could ever need, Roy still deserves some respect as a guy that could build a team.

I stayed up and watched every minute of those finals - the best finals I've ever seen, but when you compare it to the Stars and Devils based finals of that era, you're going to choose that particular one for the expansive style of play :P

There was so much heart in that series. Ray Bourque going for his first championship and he SO deserved it, the rivalry, just all the ingredients for an epic finals was there. I'm gonna find it and watch it again now that we've been talkin about it. :P

But this problem shouldn't occur to that much people here. As far as I know movies aren't dubbed in the US. How about the UK? Are foreign films dubbed there?

I thank god they don´t do that in Holland. But the language differences play such a big role in the movie. Do they still literally translate it then like this?:

"Ich habe angst das ich am ende meiner Fransozisch sind. Sollen wir dieser Konversation auf Englisch vortsetzen?"

"Spreche sie Englisch?"
"Nein"
*calls German speaking basterd*
"Frag ob er am leben bleiben wollte."
"Wollen sie am leben bleiben?"

"Es sind meine Freunden auf Italien"
"Gutentag"

I assume they had to think of something new in those and many other scenes? Otherwise it would be pretty confusing =/ Or are you Germans used to that by now?

Nice try, but a few mistakes here and there. My correction:
"Ich befürchte, dass ich am Ende bin mit meinem Französisch. Wollen wir diese Konversation auf Englisch fortsetzen?"
You'd only say "ich habe Angst" if something scares you.

"Spreche sie Englisch?"
"Nein"
*calls German speaking basterd*
"Frag ob er am leben bleiben wollte."
"Wollen sie am leben bleiben?"

Yeah, this would sound ridiculous. Just as ridiculous as in "Saving Private Ryan" when they met the german soldier and one of them had to translate everything even though they where speaking german all the time. >_>
Dubbing isn't a bad thing in general (plus I hate reading subtitles), but sometimes it can destroy the atmosphere of a scene.

Also: "Frag, ob er am Leben bleiben möchte."
"Wollte" is past tense and means something different in this context. But I think it's going too far to explain it (ie I don't know how I could explain it. ^^ )

"Es sind meine Freunden auf Italien"
"Gutentag"

"Freunde"; "aus"; and you need a space between "Guten" and "Tag".

But other than that, your german is pretty good. :)

I assume they had to think of something new in those and many other scenes? Otherwise it would be pretty confusing =/ Or are you Germans used to that by now?

See above, it can really destroy the atmosphere of a scene, but most of the time dubs are pretty good. And it saves you from reading subtitles all the time.
However, there are some pretty bad translations where you think what the translators had been smoking to make such mistakes.
One example is the word "silicon" which more often than not gets translated as "Silikon" (="silicone"). Ok, I can see the similarities between those words, but it should be obvious that microchips don't have anything to do with breast implants. -.-

But on the other hand there are examples where the dubbing is even better than the original. Most prominent example is "The Persuaders", know as "Die Zwei" in germany. This series was a very big success in germany because of the funny dialogues the translators wrote.

I remember hearing the legend of 'Mission 16W' - one game, the score was tied at 1 and between periods, the coach said "Right, we need a goal from somewhere." Ray Borque looked up and said "I've got it covered" The very next period, he slapped a shot over Brodeur's glove and gave the Avs a 2-1 lead, which they would not relinquish, ending up 3-1 winners and taking a 2-1 lead in the series.

Right, the balls and strikes thing is different - the pitcher pitches and if he hits the strike zone (Knee to letters, home plate width), the player swings and misses or connects with the ball going out of play foul, that's a strike. Foul balls can't be strike 3, if you get three strikes, you're out. If you get 4 balls - pitches that are outside of the strike zone, that the player doesn't swing on, he can walk to first base.

At bats (chances to hit) are the number of times a player gets to the plate and either scores a hit or gets out. Reaching on errors counts as an at-bat, but no hit. Being hit by the pitch and getting a base on Balls (walk) do not count as at bats, neither do sacrifice outs, where you move runners up intentionally, or even score them.

Home runs is easy - the number of times they hit the ball out far enough that they can touch 1st, second, third and home bases in succession without being out. The record for this is 73, set by Barry Bonds, though everyone knows he was on HGH for this :P

Isn´t a home run simply whacking the ball over the fences?

Not quite - that's the simpler version, as the player then gets to jog leisurely around the bases, to complete the run. You can belt it into the outfield and run hell for leather and make it the 360 feet from home plate to home plate. The inside the park home run is possible and it was the way that Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner scored his first career Home Run.

Awesomeness, congrats! That with 100k total points is on the same level of epicness as my level 41 + 20k posts double milestone last month. :)

Thanks :)

Time for an aura change!

Oh...

Right...

The greatest advantage of not having any mod privileges. :D

I'll stick to having a legion of fanboys, thanks :P

Not as great as the sword but it's a pretty sweet icon nonetheless.

I think it's better - much more skill is required to wield one of these babies ;)

If that's the case, why am I unable to remember the time I had sex? :P

Rohypnol?

And so, Bahamut undid the paradox and the account never existed in the first place :P

It was a figment of our imaginations.

What are you doing using my shower?! You'd better not have used all of my hot water >:(

Yeah, B/P is still the fastest rising stat, even though I've been slacking quite a lot lately due to other more important things going on in real life (ie studying)

Yeah, life has a habit of getting in the way of hobbies.

Trust me, you've got it in you to join this club.

I sure hope so. ^^

Oh and I thought Roy was just trying to hurt Osgoods fists with his face. -.-

Well, with the aerodynamic makeup of Roy's face - his nose is designed to deflect blows away from the rest of his face, so that he can play in goal without a face mask!

Off the top of my head, On Base Percentage refers to the amount of times the batter reaches base divided by his at bats. Slugging Percentage actually weights each hit i.e. single weights 1 double 2 etc. divided by his at bats.
It's mainly use to compare power hitters and such.

You passed 15000 Saves. Way to go!

Well we do have dubbed versions of movies for children (Madagascar, Kungfu Panda etc.), but I´d still rather go to the original version and take the trouble to read the subtitles.

But maybe that is because there aren´t many (good) voice-actors in Holland. It´s just kinda strange to hear for example Alex the Lion from Madagascar having the same voice as Shrek and Po (Kungfu Panda). Plus the original voice-actors usually do a much better job anyway.

But perhaps that´s different in Germany.

One example is the word "silicon" which more often than not gets translated as "Silikon" (="silicone"). Ok, I can see the similarities between those words, but it should be obvious that microchips don't have anything to do with breast implants. -.-

Lol :p

But on the other hand there are examples where the dubbing is even better than the original. Most prominent example is "The Persuaders", know as "Die Zwei" in germany. This series was a very big success in germany because of the funny dialogues the translators wrote.

Yeah, but doesn´t that still give you mixed feelings? I mean, doesn´t that give you the feeling that you´re not actually watching the real movie?

And every time they actually hit the ball, it counts to number of hits? And does it matter whether they hit the ball on the wrong side of the line (not sure what the term is, foul ball?)?

Right, the balls and strikes thing is different - the pitcher pitches and if he hits the strike zone (Knee to letters, home plate width), the player swings and misses or connects with the ball going out of play foul, that's a strike. Foul balls can't be strike 3, if you get three strikes, you're out. If you get 4 balls - pitches that are outside of the strike zone, that the player doesn't swing on, he can walk to first base.

This I did know from the times I played baseball in highschool. Or it was softball actually. But does that foul ball at strike two still count towards chances to hit?

At bats (chances to hit) are the number of times a player gets to the plate and either scores a hit or gets out. Reaching on errors counts as an at-bat, but no hit. Being hit by the pitch and getting a base on Balls (walk) do not count as at bats, neither do sacrifice outs, where you move runners up intentionally, or even score them.

Alright, and sacrifice outs are those times when they don´t actually swing at the ball but just let it drop on the bat. Right?

But what is reaching on errors then?

Home runs is easy - the number of times they hit the ball out far enough that they can touch 1st, second, third and home bases in succession without being out. The record for this is 73, set by Barry Bonds, though everyone knows he was on HGH for this :P

Isn´t a home run simply whacking the ball over the fences?

Not quite - that's the simpler version, as the player then gets to jog leisurely around the bases, to complete the run. You can belt it into the outfield and run hell for leather and make it the 360 feet from home plate to home plate. The inside the park home run is possible and it was the way that Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner scored his first career Home Run.

Yes okay, but that´s something that doesn´t occur often right? Unless someone like... tosses the ball over the fences or into the player benches or something.

Okay I think I get this. Base Percentage actually means the amount of times they scored a point divided by the amount of times they hit the ball?

And the slugging percentage just counts the amount of ... plates he ran after his hit?

Real life achievement: As of today me and my girlfriend are together for 6 years!. :D

Yeah, there's a pretty big voice actor scene with lots of good voice actors here. And not only do they dub movies but they also can be heard in full cast audio dramas, which too is only a big thing in germany, I think.

Of course it's sometimes weird to hear a voice and then think: "Where did I hear that voice before?"
And sometimes an actor is dubbed by more than one actor, even though most big actors like Samuel L Jackson or Nicolas Cage or Bruce Willis have their "standard voice-actor".

But on the other hand there are examples where the dubbing is even better than the original. Most prominent example is "The Persuaders", know as "Die Zwei" in germany. This series was a very big success in germany because of the funny dialogues the translators wrote.

Yeah, but doesn´t that still give you mixed feelings? I mean, doesn´t that give you the feeling that you´re not actually watching the real movie?

No. Maybe people here are just used to it. For us it's weird to read subtitles. ^^

Now that's going too far. Think about what you did Haggard and never call yourself a metal fan until you accept your wrongdoings.

Lol! How about you stop calling yourself a metal fan until you stop listening to all those shitty bands?

How about you don't say whether I should call myself a metal fan or not until you admit that St. Anger sucks? HA!
