You know, when the redesign dropped (in 2007, which in internet time is like a gazillion years ago now), I HATED level 36.

Maybe it's the fact that the yellow aura makes every level look so much better, or perhaps I've just mellowed out with age (lol), but it really doesn't seem so bad to me now. In fact, I'm looking forward to getting it more than I'm looking forward to getting level 35 in 3-4 days.

Maybe the fluffy part of the tomahawk coupled with the fab aura is just making the icon as a whole too girly? ;P

Oh yeah, and this is my 11,000th post. :)

Yeah - the Irish kept taking penalties in the scrum and we wanted to quickly use the ball, but not liking this idea, the Irish scrum half walks off with the ball and won't let go of it when the English Scrum half tries to take it. The ref took no action in the first case, but in the second, Danny Care dumps the Mick to the ground and the penalty is reversed. Ireland score a try from the resulting mess and I was furious.

Depends... sure, there are parties pretty much everywhere you go to, but the amount of irresponsible people is just stunning. This year, I think we broke the record for deaths/injuries, mostly because of car accidents. Despite all the warnings, we managed to do it. >:(

Heh. Well I suppose many people are under the influence of drugs and alcohol in such times. And I always hear that the police in Brazil are not that.. strict either, especially not during carnaval.

Just had a whole week off myself though, but it's only been boring and rainy out here. Having done much but hanging around doing nothing.
I didn't do much during carnival either, aside from watching Avatar. :)

It's a great movie, but the ending is predictable since the beginning.

Haha yeah the movie is indeed kinda predictable. The plot is really nothing amazing, but I must say that I also enjoyed it when I watched it in the cinema about a month ago. It's definitely a good movie to go to the cinema's for. I think it's kind of.. underwhelming on a normal TV screen though.

Not much difference then. My dad is.. 48 now I think. But he used to be a DJ in the 80's at some small hang-out place for young people. I guess that's why he must prefer that era.
Really? That's awesome! He must know a lot about the 80s, then.

Also, my dad is a little bit oldschool: he bought a leather jacket the other day - he looked like a bald Billy Idol. :P

Lol. Is he in a midlife crisis or something then, or is he always like that? :p

And a tape? :p I haven't seen one of those anymore since I was seven or so.
Hahahaha, we used to have a car which still had a tape player, and we actually used it often!

But yeah, there's a tape player right next to me, i think it still works, despite being stopped for a while now. And there's a 12-pack of recording tapes in a drawer here, and it's still locked. My dad used them a lot back in the day. :)

Yes old cars usually still have tape players in them. I think I still got a tape player here too, but I think all the tapes must be broken by now.

Oh yeah, true. Seems to be more and more bitching going on nowadays. I remember recently there was some discussion going on again in our government that people might get fined if they put music videos from youtube on their profile pages (like on facebook, myspace etc.). Luckily not many people supported that plan though, but I can see it happening in the future.
Seriously? The recording companies have gone that low now?

Really, I think the artists like when their music is spread like that. It's more fame for them, more people will appreciate their music. That's why independent labels (like Domino [Franz Ferdinand, Dirty Projectors...]) are great - they don't really mind about that.

Yeah, but I think it was more like an organization that stands up for the rights of the record companies.

I agree though that laws like that might not even be beneficial to most bands. Especially the newer ones who are already having trouble with advertising themselves. And the bigger artists make enough money already, so it's not like they need it all that much =/

I guess as a band you just gotta ask yourself what you find more important; money or the fact that your music might be listened to all over the world for the next few decades.

Genesis is a pretty confusing band I guess. I think I must know some of their songs, but they could be from Peter Gabriel's or Phil Collins' solo-careers as well.
They have great songs, though. Really, give "Invisible Touch" a listen. :)

Alright I will =)

Snowy White is one of the other guitarists, the oldest one I think. And someone once wrote that he could be considered the sixth Pink Floyd member. He used to tour with Pink Floyd occasionally and now he tours with Roger Waters. I thought he was with them on the Animals tour and it could be that he even did some of the guitars on that album.
Ah, alright then. I read that he was playing with Pink Floyd during the Wall tour as well as recording some guitar parts in some albums. Weird, I've never heard of him before.

Well he is just a back-up guitarist so he's always been in the shade.

Agreed. The whole movie was actually very touching I think. At least it left a great impression on me after I first watched it.
Yeah, but it's a little weird as well. I mean, who becomes a Nazi leader overnight? :P

But I think that must mean something else, metaphorically...

I think I've read the (possible) meaning of that somewhere once.

I believe it had something to do with the idolizing of certain people by their fans. And I believe the Nazi leader scene is supposed to be an actual performance (since Pink is a musician in the movie), but seen through the eyes of Pink. He just sees himself as some... monster who's not much better than a Nazi.

I guess it might be a warning for how dangerous idolizing could be. Also it might be a reference to Roger Waters personal view on himself and his fans at some point (since the movie has lots of auto-biographic elements actually). It's still kinda vague I know, but I remember I read something like that once.

Well... I know a lot of people who are big fans of Muse, but for some reason I have never liked them all that much. I think it's mostly because of their singer (Matt Bellamy?). I just think he sounds very whiney.
Yup, that would be Matthew Bellamy.

And yeah, his singing sometimes is weird. In Supermassive Black Hole, he sings in falsetto, but it isn't very good. Although I really like Muse, their songs are so full of energy! :)

Perhaps I should just give them another chance someday. I already listened to their latest album (Origin of Symmetry) not too long ago. Didn't like it much, but maybe I will like their earlier albums more.

There's 5 stuck in those levels but they'll get through soon enough.

But I was willing to stop at the battle axe on the pre-redesign to avoid the nasty staff for a few years. Good thing the redesign came well before I even did that.
The staff is a whole different story, if it was still there I don't think I wouldn't let any alt get that high. ^^

Indeed. I even tried accessing Newgrounds at school, but the site was blocked. I blame myself for accessing it back in 2007 a couple of times while in there. =P

I told you don't touch that thing, that's what you get.

But yeah, I never even tried to go on any websites with questionable content at school and I'll never go on Newgrounds when at work, unless the work place is very lenient.

Sadly so. I haven't had them in 3 years now, though but I know some who are still stuck with them. Poor souls.
Yeah, I feel sorry for them... :(

Indeed but on the other hand, why are they not changing ISP?

PropHunt is indeed awesome. As for the servers, I would have asked how the Alpha & Omega one was for you but I'm guessing that's another server you can't get to due to high ping.
Is it that one we were playing together once? The ping wasn't the best, but it was playable. And no, I didn't get kicked in there.

I can't remember which one it was now but the one you played had the Warehouse map without the snow. You can try the Alpha & Omega one (something like that anyway) and see how it goes for you.

Also, I hate NO HEROES for their reservation slots bullshit and the event spam they do to everyone who's in their Steam group.
I don't like them because I have a regular 180 ping and yet they kick me (MAX 150). I play on servers where my ping is up to 230 and no one has ever complained! >:(

150 is too low. I get slightly less than that when playing with them. 200 is a more reasonable limit.

You'll get better over the time you play it. I've definitely got the hang of it most of the time now.
Hahahaha, yes. You have to be at those random places, among your similar objects. And, please, AVOID RUNNING RANDOMLY.

Yeah, it's mostly propchecking but some maps I've become so familiarised with that I can spot a prop a mile off. Heh, perhaps I should start playing as Sniper for some of the maps.

That'd be great but Heavy has to take down Kefka and he's one hell of a character. It won't be easy.
Isn't the Spy on as well?

Nope, none of the support classes were nominated.

I don't know, but it would be a nice little addition. It's not really needed because you can always just search at the bottom of the BBS, but it would be convenient to have it show up right on your userpage as well so you didn't have to search through a sea of names.

Heh. Well I suppose many people are under the influence of drugs and alcohol in such times. And I always hear that the police in Brazil are not that.. strict either, especially not during carnaval.

Definitely, it's a party for bars and drug dealers as well.

And yeah, our police isn't the best. It's kinda corrupt, they take bribes easily, it's either unprepared or shooting everyone... It's a mess.

Also, our politicians are even worse. Just to have an idea: out governor is currently arrested, with 4 impeachment processes on his back, along with half of his party. AWESOME.

I didn't do much during carnival either, aside from watching Avatar. :)

It's a great movie, but the ending is predictable since the beginning.
Haha yeah the movie is indeed kinda predictable. The plot is really nothing amazing, but I must say that I also enjoyed it when I watched it in the cinema about a month ago. It's definitely a good movie to go to the cinema's for.

Indeed, it's a great movie nonetheless. The visual effects, the Duke Nukem-like general, the action scenes... it's really worth watching, I recommend for everyone.

I think it's kind of.. underwhelming on a normal TV screen though.

Sure. One of the reasons it's being watched worldwide in the movie theatres is that it can't be watched at home. I mean, not everyone has 3-D glasses, and I think it can't be recorded with a regular camera, if you know what I mean. No piracy allowed. =)

Also, my dad is a little bit oldschool: he bought a leather jacket the other day - he looked like a bald Billy Idol. :P
Lol. Is he in a midlife crisis or something then, or is he always like that? :p

Not really - he and my mom travelled to a store which was holding a clothing fair. My mom had been wanting a leather jacket for a while, and she found one there. My dad like it as well and bought one for him too. I've never seen him wearing it afterwards, though. :P

Hahahaha, we used to have a car which still had a tape player, and we actually used it often!
Yes old cars usually still have tape players in them. I think I still got a tape player here too, but I think all the tapes must be broken by now.

That's a problem with tapes and VHS, they get old. My dad needs to convert some VHSes (?) into DVD before they're all lost.

I agree though that laws like that might not even be beneficial to most bands. Especially the newer ones who are already having trouble with advertising themselves. And the bigger artists make enough money already, so it's not like they need it all that much =/

I've heard that Lilly Allen was holding a "resistance" again pirated music. There was an organization that wanted to make free music more accessible, "legal"... the problem was that there were only older, richer artists in that organization, who didn't need money at all. She gave up eventually, but not because of lack of support.

I guess as a band you just gotta ask yourself what you find more important; money or the fact that your music might be listened to all over the world for the next few decades.

Having your music listened to draws more fans, which makes concerts bigger and generates more profit.

On the other hand, with less money being paid for the music, the concert tickets vecomes more expensive. Hmm...

But I think that must mean something else, metaphorically...
I guess it might be a warning for how dangerous idolizing could be.

That makes sense. You know, some people actually do whatever their idols do. It could be just having a haircut like them, but it can go up to political views and such.

Also it might be a reference to Roger Waters personal view on himself and his fans at some point (since the movie has lots of auto-biographic elements actually). It's still kinda vague I know, but I remember I read something like that once.

Well, in the Wall tour, they actually built a wall in the stage during the concert, splitting the band from the crowd. Roger Waters was being rejected by the other band member, due to him being... a "Nazi" in the studios. :P

Yup, that would be Matthew Bellamy.

And yeah, his singing sometimes is weird. In Supermassive Black Hole, he sings in falsetto, but it isn't very good. Although I really like Muse, their songs are so full of energy! :)
Perhaps I should just give them another chance someday. I already listened to their latest album (Origin of Symmetry) not too long ago. Didn't like it much, but maybe I will like their earlier albums more.

Actually, their latest album is "The Resistance", and indeed it isn't very good. Give a listen to "Absolution" and "Origin of Symmetry" (if you haven't), they are the best albums, IMO.

Indeed but on the other hand, why are they not changing ISP?

Maybe because they are horrid as well, just like your Virgin Media.

PropHunt is indeed awesome. As for the servers, I would have asked how the Alpha & Omega one was for you but I'm guessing that's another server you can't get to due to high ping.
Is it that one we were playing together once? The ping wasn't the best, but it was playable. And no, I didn't get kicked in there.
I can't remember which one it was now but the one you played had the Warehouse map without the snow. You can try the Alpha & Omega one (something like that anyway) and see how it goes for you.

I can only find a few PropHunt servers, though.

150 is too low. I get slightly less than that when playing with them. 200 is a more reasonable limit.

I managed to play at 400 today, but it didn't feel it was that high. I don't know, sometimes I get servers with 190, and in 10 minutes they are at 600! =O

Hahahaha, yes. You have to be at those random places, among your similar objects. And, please, AVOID RUNNING RANDOMLY.
Yeah, it's mostly propchecking but some maps I've become so familiarised with that I can spot a prop a mile off. Heh, perhaps I should start playing as Sniper for some of the maps.

It sucks to hide in Harvest - it's a small map, with few points of hiding. Being a hunter there is great. =)

Oh god please don't remind me.

Yeah - the Irish kept taking penalties in the scrum and we wanted to quickly use the ball, but not liking this idea, the Irish scrum half walks off with the ball and won't let go of it when the English Scrum half tries to take it. The ref took no action in the first case, but in the second, Danny Care dumps the Mick to the ground and the penalty is reversed. Ireland score a try from the resulting mess and I was furious.
Even though I don't understand much about Rugby, I see what happened. They were trying to get the English team mad, right? Happens a lot in football. A LOT.

Alternative Character Battle 2 - Battle 5 (Second Round): Ness vs Amaterasu

Listening to:

Gorillaz - Demon Days. Plastic Beach was available for streaming last night and it doesn't quite compare to their other two albums. I didn't mind the level of rapping and guest appearances in the first two albums but it was overdone in the new album. I heard more rapping than 2D and that's saying something.

Heh. Well I suppose many people are under the influence of drugs and alcohol in such times. And I always hear that the police in Brazil are not that.. strict either, especially not during carnaval.
Definitely, it's a party for bars and drug dealers as well.

And yeah, our police isn't the best. It's kinda corrupt, they take bribes easily, it's either unprepared or shooting everyone... It's a mess.

Also, our politicians are even worse. Just to have an idea: out governor is currently arrested, with 4 impeachment processes on his back, along with half of his party. AWESOME.

Hahaha. Well I knew it was pretty bad in Brazil when it comes to corruptness, but I thought it was slowly getting better and better. Guess not.

Haha yeah the movie is indeed kinda predictable. The plot is really nothing amazing, but I must say that I also enjoyed it when I watched it in the cinema about a month ago. It's definitely a good movie to go to the cinema's for.
Indeed, it's a great movie nonetheless. The visual effects, the Duke Nukem-like general, the action scenes... it's really worth watching, I recommend for everyone.

Haha yeah the commander guy was by far my favorite character in the entire movie. I just loved how he jumped out of that burning airplane, and how his shoulder was on fire but he didn't even cared at first. Then he just slapped it out with his bare hands :p

I think it's kind of.. underwhelming on a normal TV screen though.
Sure. One of the reasons it's being watched worldwide in the movie theatres is that it can't be watched at home. I mean, not everyone has 3-D glasses, and I think it can't be recorded with a regular camera, if you know what I mean. No piracy allowed. =)

I heard that with some 3D movies they provide 3D glasses with the DVD's though. But I heard the quality of those glasses was just terrible, and it just doesn't work that well. I suppose they might also come up with a 2D version, which I would have preferred in the cinema, but like I said I don't think it will be that amazing on a small screen.

I agree though that laws like that might not even be beneficial to most bands. Especially the newer ones who are already having trouble with advertising themselves. And the bigger artists make enough money already, so it's not like they need it all that much =/
I've heard that Lilly Allen was holding a "resistance" again pirated music. There was an organization that wanted to make free music more accessible, "legal"... the problem was that there were only older, richer artists in that organization, who didn't need money at all. She gave up eventually, but not because of lack of support.

A resistance as in: She just wanted people to pay for her music? And why did she gave up then?

I guess as a band you just gotta ask yourself what you find more important; money or the fact that your music might be listened to all over the world for the next few decades.
Having your music listened to draws more fans, which makes concerts bigger and generates more profit.

On the other hand, with less money being paid for the music, the concert tickets vecomes more expensive. Hmm...

Yeah I guess that's true. But I suppose there will be a limit for that as well. Eventually there must be a point where the fans just don't want to go anymore. I believe we are already nearing that point here. I believe two years ago, concerts from Madonna and some other huge artist were not even sold out due to the insanely high ticket prices.

Also it might be a reference to Roger Waters personal view on himself and his fans at some point (since the movie has lots of auto-biographic elements actually). It's still kinda vague I know, but I remember I read something like that once.
Well, in the Wall tour, they actually built a wall in the stage during the concert, splitting the band from the crowd. Roger Waters was being rejected by the other band member, due to him being... a "Nazi" in the studios. :P

Yeah, but there was also a spitting accident once. Roger Waters once said that he couldn't stand people who screamed through his music when he was playing live and he spit a fan in the face apparently. That must've happened somewhere during the Animals Tour and I believe that accident and attitude is sort of where The Wall came from.

Perhaps I should just give them another chance someday. I already listened to their latest album (Origin of Symmetry) not too long ago. Didn't like it much, but maybe I will like their earlier albums more.
Actually, their latest album is "The Resistance", and indeed it isn't very good. Give a listen to "Absolution" and "Origin of Symmetry" (if you haven't), they are the best albums, IMO.

Oh yeah The Resistance is the album I mean. I haven't listened to Origin of Symmetry yet, although I am sure I must know a song or two. I think it is considered Muse's best album by most people.

Indeed. The problem in football is that the time keeps running, so when it's about 30min into the second half, the winning team might suffer a collective pain or similar. Time passes and the losing team gets even more nervous.

IT'S TIME TO KICK ASS AND CHEW BUBBLE GUM. AND I'M ALL OUT OF GUM.

Sure. One of the reasons it's being watched worldwide in the movie theatres is that it can't be watched at home. I mean, not everyone has 3-D glasses, and I think it can't be recorded with a regular camera, if you know what I mean. No piracy allowed. =)
I heard that with some 3D movies they provide 3D glasses with the DVD's though. But I heard the quality of those glasses was just terrible, and it just doesn't work that well. I suppose they might also come up with a 2D version, which I would have preferred in the cinema, but like I said I don't think it will be that amazing on a small screen.

Yeah, we once rented a movie that came with a 3D option + a pair of glasses. We didn't try it, though, but I I think it would have looked a bit choppy on our TV.

And yeah, those 3D glasses aren't the best invention ever. I had several headaches during the film, where I had to take the glasses off and rest my view for a few seconds. Although I think they won't release a "regular" version for it, though. It's up to the movie staff.

I've heard that Lilly Allen was holding a "resistance" again pirated music. There was an organization that wanted to make free music more accessible, "legal"... the problem was that there were only older, richer artists in that organization, who didn't need money at all. She gave up eventually, but not because of lack of support.
A resistance as in: She just wanted people to pay for her music? And why did she gave up then?

I think so, her music was being more downloaded than bought, I believe.

She gave up due to many people "attacking" her blog, harassing her (you mercenary etc...) and such. I think Muse was supporting her as well, something like "if we want you to download our music like that, we would make it available for you. Since we didn't, then don't do it!".

Oh, and the whole Muse catalogue is available at their site, just to listen, not downloading.

Yeah I guess that's true. But I suppose there will be a limit for that as well. Eventually there must be a point where the fans just don't want to go anymore. I believe we are already nearing that point here. I believe two years ago, concerts from Madonna and some other huge artist were not even sold out due to the insanely high ticket prices.

Hey, I think we have reached that point. I'll make a new blog soon but for now...

B.B. King is coming for a concert where I live. The cheapest tickets are at about R$150,00 which would be about U$90,00. The most expensive is at R$600,00. And hey, I wanted to go, but I'm not able to, because the prices are nearing the absurd.

Well, in the Wall tour, they actually built a wall in the stage during the concert, splitting the band from the crowd. Roger Waters was being rejected by the other band member, due to him being... a "Nazi" in the studios. :P
Yeah, but there was also a spitting accident once. Roger Waters once said that he couldn't stand people who screamed through his music when he was playing live and he spit a fan in the face apparently. That must've happened somewhere during the Animals Tour and I believe that accident and attitude is sort of where The Wall came from.

Ah, I remember seeing that in a mini documentary. He thought of the stage and the crowd being split by an invisible wall or something, then he came up with it. The other meanings for it are very "spread".

Actually, their latest album is "The Resistance", and indeed it isn't very good. Give a listen to "Absolution" and "Origin of Symmetry" (if you haven't), they are the best albums, IMO.
Oh yeah The Resistance is the album I mean. I haven't listened to Origin of Symmetry yet, although I am sure I must know a song or two. I think it is considered Muse's best album by most people.

Hahaha, yeah, I remember reading when you said "I've just listened to Muse's new album, and I still don't like Muse" or something. Yeah, The Resistance isn't a good album for "starters", hahaha.

I think Absolution and Origin of Symmetry are their best albums. Go to Muse's website to listen to all of them, if you feel like. =)

Seemed shorter than usual. It just flew by.

We need more shitty submissions, let's spam the Portal ourselves!

More 'Around the World' movies?

What, Epic Beard Man? The tax game? I'd call that alcohol + free time. Not a really good mixture.

Must be a requirement to work at NG. :)

I didn't mind the level of rapping and guest appearances in the first two albums but it was overdone in the new album. I heard more rapping than 2D and that's saying something.

That's not a good sign. I love the guest singers but when dominates the album, that could be a problem.

I have to check it out. Have a link?

So I win for only having 3 alts. HA!
But I'll have many of alts going to level 40 and beyond. HA!

I don't care about that. HA!

I would have stopped depositing Toohot100 at the sledgehammer and then Bahamut7 at level 16.
I'm still not too sure where my alts will stop depositing. Level 39 is a good level to stop, but it's still far away. Maybe I should let one stop at the awesomeblade. :P
Nah, the chainsaw is a good level to stop at. After all, you were depressed when you lost it.

And I still am, but level 39 is still very far away. And after all the awesomeblade is awesome. :P
Faggard is at level 26 right now and will level up tomorrow... it's just too early to stop depositing with him.
