Nice, welcome back. Getting back on the stats train could take some time, but it's quite fulfilling :)

If you're going there with that song, I'm bringing out the big guns:

Dean Martin - Let it Snow.

Hey, Ice Ice Baby is a great song!

I didn't say it wasn't - the riff used from Under Pressure by Queen was brilliant. It could have been a lot worse than that, but personally it's not my thing.

A rollercoaster ride before work. . . sounds fun. :)
Though, if you have automatic brakes you shouldn't pump your breaks. Just hold it down since they will automatically release in intervals to help stop skidding.

And that's how to crash.

"The primary benefit of ABS on such surfaces is to increase the ability of the driver to maintain control of the car rather than go into a skid - though loss of control remains more likely on soft surfaces like gravel or slippery surfaces like snow or ice. On a very slippery surface such as sheet ice or gravel, it is possible to lock multiple wheels at once, and this can defeat ABS (which relies on comparing all four wheels, and detecting individual wheels skidding). Availability of ABS relieves most drivers from learning threshold braking."

I'm sorry, but I just don't trust machines to behave properly in situations outside of the normal.

And I get the feeling were just two of a couple of handfuls or so of honest voting guys that suffer in relative silence, thanks to the stupidity of other moronic voters. I guess most of the reg's here in the LUL are honest voters too. I kind of get that feeling. Oh well, what do can you do. You have probably seen my userpage, I am trying to educate people, even if just a little.

OMG! I could not believe that passed judgement, but in retrospect, I am sure Wade will remove it soon enough. Since I'm sure they will want to continue the series and not have that submission name used on that utter fucking garbage. And yes I voted 0 on that and missed my blam point, for now anyway. I think it has a lot to do with this Flash Flood crap thats going on in the Portal at the moment. And ASHAMED is an understatement, they should be shot.

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

With that vote, you now have 6,400 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 25. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 15 hours, 9 minutes, and 8 seconds.

The more experience points you have, combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

Sexy nunchucks!

You're not the only one who's having trouble.

It's been a very slow climb for me towards 19,000 ever since I hit 18,970 or so. Seems like there are more blams in the portal now though, I might get there tomorrow.

Sorry guys :p

J/K. I don't think I even caught that one when it was under judgment. It's blammed now though.

I don't know about you but if I'm skidding my foot isn't coming off the pedal. I remember one time I had to stop quickly and I was totally standing on my brake pedal. I think you should test it out; which way is more effective. :)

Total stats: 45678. Totally swish.

20,000 B/P

10k to go ;)

30,000 Total Stats!

Apparently, I get my achievements all at once, nowadays. :P

Well, it's gone now. I think that it should have been blammed, but there's more to this than meets the eye, in all honesty.

I remember it and remember dancing to it aged 7. I wasn't the world's biggest rap fan back then and I'm still not today (though for reasons currently unknown, I do actually own 3 rap albums), but it might have been something to do with getting slapped about by friends when they played Under Pressure and I was singing "Ice, Ice Baby" along to the intro.

Yeah, but it's not necessarily the minority - a few people using dubious practices appear to be making the differences, which is disturbing.

I believe that I had a nice rebound yesterday, with 14 of them, so let's hope that shite is over for now.

Believe me, I've tested it. The ABS kicks in and it just chatters when you're on ice. No real degradation of speed at all, except from the friction between tyres and ice. I found it much more effective to press the brake pedal repeatedly. If that doesn't work, slow and gentle application of the handbrake can also help, as it brakes the rear wheels, as opposed to the front ;)

I could understand if the name was changed after passing judgment but if that's what the name was from the start, then I couldn't agree more. That's just as bad as whoever was fucking stupid enough to save a flash which was stolen from me a few months ago. The author's description clearly admitted to stealing my flash so there was no excuse at all!

And keep in mind that Rhapsody's new album is to be released in March. Infact, Christopher Lee plans to release a metal album around the same time.
