BAHAMUT, you're flailing! STOP FLAILING!

21,000 Experience

Only 153 people before me have made this, so the real question that looms now is will I reach the top 150 before my account anniversary. Just under 100 days to go, I don't think it will be a problem, but the target of #130 looks well beyond my capabilities this time...

Coop prepares for another Saves update, while congratulating:
thecoreman: Level 19
byteslinger: Level 28; 35,000 Saves
Hacsev: 27,000 B/P

No, it's a tyre iron - note the detail at the top - this dent would go around a nut, as opposed to going within one, as an allen key would ;)

Yeah, and over 100 topics have been made over the past few days. I doubt that many of them actually contain anything worth reading.

Well, we'll see. Personally, I'm going to hang around there and get some of my writing done, with the hopes of getting more presented to the faithful and people that might want to read my stories.

Also too bad the forum is only for material written by users themselves. I was hoping plot discussions of movies, books and other literature would be allowed as well, but only if it served to inspire the writers on NG.

I think that clubs like the Literature Lovers and Writer's clubs would be the best source for that in C&C, but feel free to discuss things like that in the Lounge thread.

Seriously? I posted that because when I left for school at 7 am today, and came back, it was left at 1,337. And why not post it?

How about because we don't count this as an achievement for posts, either? Counting it as an achievement for posts only encourages spam and with how fast people gain Saves around here, it's too easy to gain.

Yeah gumOnShoe redirected me to those clubs as well when I asked. For movies (my biggest interest) I suppose I should use the Cinema Club.

Yep so I'm a Police Sergeant now. I guess that is pretty cool considering I stayed up all last night to get my b/p points in.

45,000 total stats :)

But I renewed my WoW sub, so I don't know if I actually will manage to make it to EGSC though i'm maybe only about 175 off

2,500 Total Reviews

I think I'm only the 17th person to have achieved this. A cursory glance at the upper end of the Top 100 Reviewers lists seems to suggest so, but if anyone can confirm this, Bahamut can ;)

1,234 Audio Reviews!

I just thought I should post one of my "angreh faic"-level ups again. :P

18k saves.

Yes, level 39 still kicks ass but the golden chainsaw is GOOOOOOOOLD!

You shouldn't underestimate Leatherface nor the power of the golden chainsaw.

Leatherface isn't that strong, and I think he prefers his own chainsaw. Because it has an unlimited amount of fuel... (seriously, he doesn't turn it off ONCE in the movie ^^).

He could make the golden chainsaw have unlimited fuel, so that solves everything.

Well, I was off about the few hours of power being out; it was more than three days. No less that when my last list was posted the power cut out; two deposits missed. :/

Things are pretty bad here with tree limbs being down and taking the power lines with it at my hometown. In my yard a small little tree ripped out the line for cable so I'll probably won't have it for weeks, though the power lines were spared (just the power pole's breaker just had to be reset.) You can read this article about what's going on here; I live in SW Oklahoma for reference.

I'll to the catch ups later; right now, time for a hot bath after freezing and shivering for days.

Coop battles through more snow to get to work (I thought that we'd seen the last of it in the UK!), before congratulating:

2 - New gaming rant - Cliffhangers and Unconfirmed Sequels

I love your rants, I'll check it out in just a minute.

Overkill - Ironbound

Amazing track, I'll definitely be buying the album when it's released. Isn't it going to be released a week on Wednesday?

Nah. nothing beats the sword. It's so good I was tempted to stop there forever but no, that's what my alts are for.

I've got to say that I prefer the sword, just about. It looks so clean and efficient, whilst the flail falls quite short. Regardless, the flail has some serious brutal visuals. Really, leveling's not about the level you're on but the levels you want to reach. Personally, I want to at least make level 23 before I stop depositing daily, although when you get quite a bit higher than it they start looking nicer.

Talking of stopping, I'll probably stop B/Ping either this week or next. I'm aiming to get to 2499 B/P exactly, after not having the drive to do any B/Ping since about this time last year. It'd be as quick as anything, but I want to do it with 1499 Saves and 1000 Blams, and with the portal like it is at the moment nearly anything passes judgement.

That's because it's yet to be used. You've got to use it wisely.

Personally, I love that level - so long as you keep it on either Evil or Fab auras. Evil just looks amazing on it and Fab looks good on any level. The light aura especially looks pretty awkward on it, for some reason.

Anyways, I'm hoping for some sort of statistical milestone sometime soon. I don't really statwhore much, and with my B/P coming to an end that will limit my total stats gain quite a lot. I'm hoping to transfer all of my B/Ping to an alt sometime, then when that reaches 2499 move onto another one, if I can ever be fucked, which is relatively unlikely.

The thoughts of Christopher Lee and Symphonic Metal just don't seem to go together.

I've got some new songs that I've been asked to put to the band and see if they like them, for covers:

Iron Maiden - Flight of Icarus
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
Foo Fighters - Hey! Johnny Park*
System of a Down - Toxicity
Velvet Revolver - Slither / Get out the Door (Possible medley)
Ocean Colour Scene - Riverboat Song*
Alice Cooper - What do you want from me?
Queens of the Stone Age - Go with the Flow
White Zombie - Black Sunshine

*more metal versions

So, what do you think? Throw in some more songs so I can bulk up the list to between 10 and 12, if you want.

Depends which songs the whole band is familiar with. It's no good in me suggesting songs none of you will recognise.
