Pretty much 6 months between #251 - 300. I'm guessing it'll take 9 months to reach the top 200, so I predict I'll enter the Top 200 next April. Let's see if I'm right or wrong when the time comes.

If it takes you 9 months to reach the top 200, that means gfox will lose... say 50 rank spots between now and then. I find that hard to believe.

It seems a lot but there's a bunch of active depositers together and they'll all make gfox crash down.

4 albums for the price of 1 I can't see the logic with that (The second part is that since I already had TNOTB, FOTD and NPFTD, I chose Killers to go along with Seventh Son.

Ah, so that's why it took you so long to get Powerslave. Very well, then.

I only have Number of the Beast from that list. I'll get Iron Maiden sometime.

TNOTB + Powerslave + Piece of Mind = a perfectly acceptable minicollection for me. I just can't believe your patience for Powerslave. POWERSLAVE DEMANDS QUICK ACTION!

Hypocrite! You haven't got that album yet - haven't you ever heard of saving the best for last?!

Huh? Powerslave was the 2nd IM album I got after TNOTB... and it was shortly thereafter. Took awhile to get POM, and then took a much longer while to get IM1, but now I've got all 4 of those and am taking a break from buying IM albums for a bit, now that I've completed the FEARSOME FOURSOME Bahamut originally recommended me 2-3 years ago, or whenever it was.

I'd never heard OR heard of Electrical Storm until 90-00 best of started being talked about.... but I already owned Sweetest Thing for years and years before the 80-90 best of came out, because it's a b-side on one of the Joshua Tree singles. Can't remember which one, as I have 2 or 3 from that album.

Really? I didn´t know that. I thought Bono wrote it for his wife after he had some relationship problems with her. I believe he forgot her birthday or the day they were married or something. Hence why you see banners with "I'm really sorry' in the video of the song.

:::shrugs::: All I know is that it was a b-side in the late 80s, man. If that's the story behind the song, it's a story from back in the 80s (unless somehow a fight with his wife was the reason for them putting Sweetest Thing on the 80-90 best of, that is... in which case it's the story behind the song selection for that #;-}>)...

Although I don´t think my top 5 would change much then. Zooropa might be out in my case and perhaps ATYCLB and HTDAAB would score higher than they do on my favourites list (they´re somewhere at the bottom there). If you would include the two "best of" CD's then I think those two would make the top 5 start-to-finish. Rattle and Hum might also be out since I believe there is also a streak of songs there which I like less (from after Hawkmoon 269 up until Pride).

Yep. That's my problem with R&H and why I told you last summer that there's no way it can make any top 5 U2 CDs by any sort of standard. Too many dry patches for most of my moods.

So start-to-finist list:
1 Achtung Baby
2 Best of 80-90
3 Joshua Tree
4 Best of 90-00
5 Boy
6 Zooropa
7 Rattle and Hum
8 HTDAAB
9 ATYCLB
10 The rest.

Something like that. Can´t place War, October and The Unforgettable Fire anywhere yet.

How's that coming, BTW? #;-}>

Aha. Well I guess they are always cheaper since you´re not paying for CD cases, instruction booklets, shelf rental and all sorts of other stuff anymore. And those sales sure sound interesting, 75% off a game is really a lot 0.o Or do you only get old, not-so-popular-anymore games for that?

If you think 1-2 years after a game was brand new and full price is "old, not-so-popular," I suppose.

If something isn't selling well, the price does drop faster, yes, and if something is old, it's going to likely be cheaper too, yes... but there's plenty of relatively recent and moderately good titles for really cheap, with or without a sale. #;-}>

I'd rather it came to the Wii or Steam, personally.

Chances of the Astros being in the World Series in 2005 weren't very high, either. Anything can happen in October!

You can't script October I say.

I like my phrasing better since it's not a damned Fox advertisement. O_o

um, okay. But a blam vote either results in no point or a blam point, and a save vote either results in no point or a save. That error on NG years ago where you'd get a save for being the 100th vote on a movie, even if you hit blam... that error is GONE, thankfully. And vice versa.

beening the 100th 150th or 200th vote even it that rule was in effect wouldn't be a concern because it wouldn't happen much.

I vote on maybe 20 UJ movies per month, but even I see the 200th vote "your vote saved this" or any of the blahblah blam ones (usually "your vote failed to save this, it's been blammed") messages every few months nonetheless. They're more common than you think!

You do realise that the "trophies" are in the Steam versions of Fallout 3 and GTA4, don't you?

Damn you Steam for having PS3 trophies in Steam, Now I have to download Steam and get them.

They're not in Steam, they're in G4WL, as I said below:

You have to make a Games4WindowsLive account or whatever, but once you do that, you get achievements in both games.

And every other game. I have a Xbox 360 and Zune account will that work for Games4Windows Live, Bing.

I guess so. :::wouldn't know:::

The only game I have that should have achievements but doesn't is Bioshock (not sure why it doesn't use the same G4WL system, but ah well). Bioshock's such a good game, it's not that big a deal. I kinda want to find out what you have to do for the achievements in it, though, and then think of whether I've done them all once I've finished the game (which will be soon, I'm finally on the last level, nearly 14 months of owning it and playing it WAY TOO SLOW #;-}>).

Well I could look on the PS3 trophy checklist for you its mostly upgrade this and that, I still have to play that game and when is Castle Crashers coming to the PSN.

I've heard Bioshock 2 has G4WL achievements.

idiot-buster, what does me being "pretty old" have to do with me not being around much? The two things have nothing to do with each other.

When I first got online in 1994, I hung out with a lot of people with similar interests to mine, entertainment-wise, who were around my age, maybe +/- 3 years or so on average, but also plenty of twenty-somethings and a few thirty-somethings, too. And I was 17 at the time.

Considering that, now that *I'm* one of the thirty-somethings on the internet like those friends of mine were back in the mid-90s, why would I suddenly not want to return the favour to a newer generation of internet residents, eh? That'd be quite rude of me.

This all came to be when Gfox started to help me alot and followed me everywhere i posted. He hleped me fix all of the things i was doing wrong and without him i may have nver gotten where i am now.

I didn't follow you everywhere you posted. Dude, when you're trying to give someone credit for helping you to grow/develop as a poster to a website forum, please, please, PLEASE try not to depict them as a stalker while doing so (unfairly especially, even if inadvertently!). #;-}>

I don't remember gfox singing any songs with you. It must have took a year to complete if you did. :P

It wasn't as epic as you and I or Haggard and I singing our songs - it was he started singing a line, then I carried it on and when he came back, he sang another line and I did as well, before he got bored, or forgot the next line, or whatever.

I never got bored... and I don't think I forgot the next line very often, if at all. I just... didn't swing by often enough to really continue the song in many cases. But hey, we still did a verse or two or a bit of a chorus or so... don't make it sound like it didn't work at all.

That'll be the year my baseball fandom dies out.

Funny thing about you and the other two people I mention (both of which being TF2 players on Steam).... is that NONE of ye is from the Bronx. Yet my fiancee, who most certainly is... hates the Yankees

Nature, or nurture? I got into baseball from playing the demo version of NHL '99 and from there to the late night watching of Ice Hockey on Five. When the baseball season rolled around, I recorded a baseball game, thinking that there was going to be Ice Hockey that Sunday and became hooked.

Who's to say who I would have supported if I were brought to baseball in the 1980s, when I was brought up? Jeter wasn't there then to inspire my Yankee fandom, so who would it have been?

Most likely a better team to be a fan of, from my perspective, than the one you ended up with due to your damned 1999 baseball intro... but anyway, it could always have been worse--you could have ended up a Cub fan. I should count my blessings.

That sounds odd indeed. It didn't seem like he had much effort to put into it though, and to be honest it also seemed he put less and less effort in the flashes as the series proceeded. I was expecting at least some special episodes on the legendary Pokemons and at the start of a new generation, but he just moved on. That was slightly disappointing imo.

Hell, even I suggested he did something special with the legendary Pokemon episodes but he refused. :( You all had to rely on me to make something for the landmarks.

Yep, all we have from the first generation are gfox and Recon. I do like the thought of generations of Wi/Ht? and I'd say we're on the third generation now. 2002 - 2004 for first, 2005 - 2007 for second and 2008 - present for the current generation.

By the same pattern as the previous two, you'll have to cap the third at 2008-2010, then... and start a 4th in 2011.

This'll be interesting and it's one of the many reasons why gfox needs to post those goddamn catch-ups already!

So I can convince Haggard to like Manowar? WTF?

You and him arguing about whether Manowar are good or not was one of the most boring things during my 114 pages of catch-ups today, guys, I gotta be honest... yet you think it'd be interesting? #;-}>

Look, first off, I liked 'em OKAY, Bahamut. I didn't say "OMG, FUCK OFF, MAIDEN AND PRIEST, I'VE FOUND MY NEW METAL LOVE!" or anything. So I'm probably not the best ambassador for spreadin' teh Manowar love. If you can't get Haggard to give them a chance on your own, I doubt I (he of having heard a grand total of what, 2 songs on YT?) will be able to manage it, either.

6 years old? That's quite young then. I think I really got into Pink Floyd when I turned 17 or so. Before that I never listened to them much and only knew their famous songs.

I started listening to rock in general early as well. It helped me with English and defining what songs I like nowadays. I loved Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Zeppelin, Mike Oldfield, Genesis... All the songs that my dad listens to, basically.

My dad was a big Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd fan, and as a kid and as a teen I resisted getting into music he was into... but by late high school/college by the time I was moving out and getting on with my life, I ended up finding out how awesome they in particular were, and I got over the fact that my dad liked them too. #;-}>

You should give a listen to "Rock And Roll" and "Black Dog". They're a lot better than Stairway to Heaven.

Look, Black Dog is a great song, but I really wouldn't say it's better than Stairway. As for R&R, it definitely isn't. Part of this is just that I'm so damned tired of that song after the last 5 years of it being used in 80% of Cadillac advertisments on TV here in America, but... ugh... so tired of R&R.

Anyway, if my example is any hint, it will probably not be someone you were expecting to knock out of the top 50. Though perhaps it will be. WE SHALL SEE. #;-}>

Wouldn't it be funny if it was someone like Pimp?

Bleck. 40 out of ~108 of them. Glory hogs.

Still, I think it's the best of teams that have gone to 3 or more. Especially with teams like the Cubs (2-14) and Dodgers (6-15) hogging the numbers. Teams like the Cards (10-7) have winning records, but don't come close enough.

Easy to keep you going then :P I'm sure they'll win eventually.

That'll be the year my baseball fandom dies out.

5 more seasons and another Back to the Future prediction gets bounced ;)

Who's to say who I would have supported if I were brought to baseball in the 1980s, when I was brought up? Jeter wasn't there then to inspire my Yankee fandom, so who would it have been?

Most likely a better team to be a fan of, from my perspective, than the one you ended up with due to your damned 1999 baseball intro... but anyway, it could always have been worse--you could have ended up a Cub fan. I should count my blessings.

I think I might have been a fan of the A's, since they were winning at the time. Possibly after some speed from Rickey, or the roided prowess of Big Mac and Jose Canseco :P

If you can't get Haggard to give them a chance on your own, I doubt I (he of having heard a grand total of what, 2 songs on YT?) will be able to manage it, either.

First of all, I think I knew Manowar before Bahamut knew them. Second, I never watched a Manowar song on Youtube (oh wait, there was one at a party, but it sucked. The song, that is, not the party).

And back to being a bastard of a dragon just a few weeks later. You know, you swing back and forth between defending my aliveness to the others... to tired, old 37 threats... to saying I should be tempted with lovely 36s to come back and post... and finally to more evil 37ness. ;_;

Haha, I knew you'd love my post.

Of course, I keep you up to date with awesome people being modded.

01:17 - gfox: We want dragons with swords for dicks, damnit!

I couldn't agree more.

heh. I remember that. And it was true. EVERY. SINGLE. WORD.

Indeed. Hmm, we still need to see pictures of dragons with swords for dicks. You'd think with someone drawing pictures of dragons having sex with cars, someone would have drawn a dragon with a sword for his dick by now. I am very disappointed in you, internet.

Indeed but that's not until next year. Still, that time will come eventually. :)

By the same pattern as the previous two, you'll have to cap the third at 2008-2010, then... and start a 4th in 2011.

Yep, that sounds about right. :)

3 years for a NG BBS generation sounds about right, yeah.

Just like there's 3/4 years for each Pokemon generation, even though they should stop at the fourth one.

You did like one of Manowar's songs so Haggard can't deny Manowar anymore. YOU LOSE, HAGGARD!

You and him arguing about whether Manowar are good or not was one of the most boring things during my 114 pages of catch-ups today, guys, I gotta be honest... yet you think it'd be interesting? #;-}>

Those fuckers! Alright, there's only one way to solve this:

IF A CHARACTER FROM TF2 WINS THE SECOND ALTERNATIVE CHARACTER BATTLE, I WILL BUY TF2 FOR EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE CONTEST! YOU WILL RECEIVE THE GAMES ON STEAM WHENEVER IT'S ON SALE AGAIN!

Let's see Engineer or Heavy winning this. We can't hope for Soldier winning now as he had his ass kicked by Mantis.

Well, I think that's probably going to happen naturally... but that's not that big of an accomplishment, since I might not hit 12,000 posts for months from now.

I can just imagine iscrulz buying some of my stuff off eBay, just so he can give me such negative feedback.

They raised the wall by half a metre, but hindsight always allows for things like this. I think that it was an utter tragedy for the kid to die like that and I've seen that video is circulating, but I didn't have the heart or stomach to watch.

He wasn't that interested in Muse but did like Knights of Cydonia. Hey, it's an improvement from his Manowar hatred. :)

Oh yeah, I remember now. I listened to one song, but didn't like it too much. Me not remembering listening to them yesterday only shows that they didn't had any impact on me, so I simply forgot I listened to one of their songs.

Of course.

Specifically 1989 - Berlin wall comes down, reunifying Germany?

No specific date there, really. Even though the reunifying of Germany has a special place in my heart because it's the only thing from that list I witnessed with my own eyes. ^^
Anyway, the Beer Hall Putsch (which actually should have been a "march on Berlin" much like Mussolinis "march on Rome") was on that date, because Hitler specifically chose that date. The Weimar Republic was proclaimed on that date as well, so Hitler tried to occupie this date for his own propaganda. That's also the reason the Kristallnacht took place on that date.
So, it's quite interesting to see how Hitler tried to use dates that where important for democratics for his own propaganda. Sad thing is he actually was succesfull, because now the german national day isn't celebrated on this date even though the Berlin Wall came down then, but on Oktober 3rd, the day of the formal reunification.

The rest of German History is a little fuzzy to me, save for things like the Saxon invasions of England and the fact that our Royal Family is descended from Germans.

Don't worry, the rest of the History of my country is fuzzy to most germans as well. The thing is, in history classes most of the time we where talking about nazi germany. No French Revolution, no October Revolution, no Mao Zedong... only in my last year we had a bit about the cold war. But really, most of the time it was nazi germany.
Most pupils simply where annoyed by this after the umpteenth time we had this subject, and I really don't think nazi germany is a topic you should annoy people with. :/
