Looks like this place could use some more achievements around here. Only a small one today, but it's a start:

7,500 Medal Points

I guess we'll never know. At least the main riff of the song is nice.

Main riff is rather bland.

But not as bland as Manowars only riff.

You could do further research and find out it's actually true. Either way, Manowar hates Metallica.

Just because Joey said it, doesn't mean it's... oh wait!
And I know why Manowar hates Metallcia: They're jealous. :P

They could care less about popularity. They just don't like Metallica whether they're popular or not.

I didn't say they are jealous of Metallica's popularity. They are jealous of their song writing skills. Because even the worst Metallica song is a masterpiece in comparison to any song by Manowar.

Also, I don't think Metallica could care less if Manowar likes them or not. -.-

Got further than I did. I closed the tab after 1 nanosecond. XD Here's a new challenge:
Manowar. XP

I won't click that link. :P

Then you instantly fail. I could easily listen to that ten times over.

I instantly win, because Manowar sucks.

Everyone started at some time, and everyone's first flash sucked (although not everyone necessarily published it)... many of these - the ones I saw, anyway - were still blam-worthy and duely voted on as such, of course, but you're really judging the submissions, not the authors. :)

Yeah, don't worry about him idiot-buster. He tends to be a dick to most people for some reason. As for the achievement usually only special ones count. Every 10,000 points, special numbers such as 11,111 or 22,222, and special ones such as 25,000 - 75,000, etc... would probably be counted, but every 1,000 is just too easy to get.

Thanks everyone btw.

I think passing is possible for them - merit or distinction is a distinct non-starter :P

What? I don't think I'm that good at animation. I'm piss poor in comparison to many. If I was less lazy with my 100th flash, then maybe I could agree with you.

Seriously, those flash sucked and the ones that got blammed definitely deserved to get that. I think that more of them deserved the same fate as well, but you can't win them all.

However, my life hasn't exactly headed for a high level of animation. It could have been if there was more confidence with my art skills back then.

Well, you're not a bad animator. Lazy, I'll admit, but that's because you're not being pushed with course deadlines. If you were on this 'course', you would shine.

Yeah, but if they were embarking on an animation corse, you'd have expected some people on the course to have made something using Flash before and I didn't see any new people posting great stuff, or some old members posting some better than average works on that day, either.

Heh, OK. :)

Ehhh, slight misunderstanding on that place. For the training place, I'm not to see them until they get work placement for me. I just assumed I was to still go there either way for more training on their side but that's a mistake on my behalf. Ah well, hopefully soon I actually get something then.

Ah, I see. Since you said 'this battery' thought you already swapped it out and it's failing again, which would be an alt problem.

Yeah, battery problem sounds plausible especially if it's fairly old and the terminals have corroded. If if's a starter problem get ready to shell out an arm, maybe a leg.

After many lazy moments with getting medals, I finally reached 10,000 medal points, even though that milestone must be now small in comparison to others.

Well, I'd have excpected at least one of these budding animators to have come across Flash over their studies - it just seems too good to be true that none of them have ever used this program.

Nah - we think it was down to leaving it parked for almost 48 hours in cold weather, when it's been used to running pretty much daily in much warmer conditions.

Yeah, battery problem sounds plausible especially if it's fairly old and the terminals have corroded. If if's a starter problem get ready to shell out an arm, maybe a leg.

The car is about 9 years old now and the terminals don't seem that bad - probably been changed over the life of the car. I've had it for 2 years now, so it might be time for a new battery.

Then you should learn something about "music". :P

Or you should try to explain why exactly Load/ReLoad have bad songwriting. The arugment "it's not metal" isn't a valid one by the way. :P
And sure you wouldn't call Michael Kamen a bad songwriter (he wrote the orchestral parts for S&M)?
