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.

But we were winning at the time >:(

Hahahaha, it isn't getting better anytime soon. This case, for example, has been under secret investigation since 2006, but only came to public now.

Also, our judiciary system is very lenient, there are many ways to ramble on for five years, until the crime "expires". We need stricter laws.

Expires? I'm not sure if things like that are even possible in Europe :p

Also, I always find it strange that countries run investigations against their own politicians. I mean I always thought that the politicians were pretty much in charge of that. Or does the guy have many enemies in his own government?

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

Hahaha, I remember that. Also, when he was trying to stop their airplane, he pretty much didn't care about the oxygen masks. :P

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

Haha oh yeah! He was standing there, shooting at the aircraft for like a full minute before he went back to breathe.

I also loved how he was just sipping his coffee when he was blasting the crap out of that home tree with those helicopters. That was probably my favorite action scene from the entire movie.

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.

That's a complaint I hear more often. People getting headaches in the cinemas after a while and from some people I even heard they had to leave after 20 minutes or so. Gotta say that my eyes also started to hurt after an hour or so.

That's one of the main reasons why I don't like 3D cinema so much. I mean I can just feel that my eyes are simply being deceived.

What I also hate is that there are more and more movies coming out right now which are only in 3D. Like next weekend I'll be going to Alice in Wonderland, but I will have to watch it in 3D and I will have to pay a few euros extra for that. I don't want to pay extra >=(

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.

Hehe well if your music is being downloaded more than bought than I can imagine that can kinda suck if you are an artist :p But I bet she is still earning plenty of money anyway, so... I can't feel sorry for her.

Also meh.. I got a feeling it's a war they can't win anyway. I mean, I believe youtube keeps trying to remove videos of copyrighted material but it seems that there are more going in than out. They're only creating more and more dead links on their own website this way.

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.

B.B. King is probably a great artist, but I would never pay $90 to visit his show. That's just too much indeed. Especially for someone who is almost retired.

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".

Oh yeah that's another thing I heard. So yeah, it has a lot of autobiographic elements from Roger Waters life as a musician.

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. =)

Listening to some Origin of Symmetry songs right now. I still don't know. Instrumentally it is alright in my opinion, but their singer... I just really don't like his voice. Bliss is probably the best song from that album in my opinion.

Also I must say that I am really missing variety. Every single one of their songs sounds.. depressing imo =/

First off, thanks to Coop, Odyssic, Auz (achievement of the day should have gone to Haggard though, IMO ;P), reverend, Fro, Sir-Nuts, and Seraphim17 for acknowledging that I made it to 11k posts.

I hit 10,000 posts all the way back on May 1st 2009, so I think this might be the longest ever 1k gap that I've bridged since I first started posting (0-1,000 posts took me YEARS, lol).

But, on the bright side, I've begun to post a lot more often as opposed to just modding and lurking, which hopefully hasn't gone unnoticed. ;P

But yeah, the shitblade is one of my least favourite icons. Sorry, Haggard, I just can't bring myself to actually like it :(

(That being said, it did slowly start grow on me when I was actually on that level).

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

Nice work, I'm getting close to 21k posts. I've been at the 20k range long enough but of course, it'll only take more time to get to the next one as time goes by.

Hopefully 11k-12k doesn't take me another 10 months, haha. I mean, 100 posts per month isn't bad, but some people get that in a week... others in a day. I'll just attribute it to my QUALITY POSTING.

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.

Your girlfriend is killing you.

What now?

How does my girlfriend killing me have anything to do with me liking level 36 more than I did two and a half years ago?

In fact, I'm looking forward to getting it more than I'm looking forward to getting level 35 in 3-4 days.

Ah, come on now! I think level 35 is one of the most awesome levels in NG, especially with the gold aura. And green, of course.

It's not a bad level, I guess, but it's not one of my favourites.

Hey, you said you were far from any milestones, now you'll have two in a week, you silly. :P

I don't believe I said I was far away from any milestones, just that it takes me a long time to get to any milestones these days... which is true. It seems to work out this way quite often, though: I'll have no noteworthy achievements for a long time, and then several will come along at once.

Nope, you don't get front page posting privileges for winning RCP. It has to be a daily award or having a flash with a certain amount of views. I'm not too sure about the latter, though.

Yeah, there aren't many PropHunt servers and the main two are GamingMasters and Alpha & Omega.

I don't really remember the names of the servers, but I believe one of them was Alpha & Omega. Also, they are either completely full or completely empty - alert me when you're in a good one, please. :)

Thanks for the link Bahamut.
Overall I liked Plastic Beach. You can tell it's a different mood than Demon Days, less depressing and grim and more mellow laid back kind of like a beach. Sure I found some of the songs annoying with some of the rappers, Snoop Dogg namely, but all in all it was well put together with a who's who of talent.

Of course, I still like Demon Days more than Plastic Beach because it really felt the mood of the world at the time; dark depression grim with songs like O' Green World or Feels Good Inc and with an over the top happy dance song like DARE, but all in all I can really enjoy their new album. Sure it would be nice if I heard Damon more, but I'm sure he's behind the scenes with other aspects when he doesn't sing lead; it's his project after all. It's really a change of pace for Gorillaz where it isn't just about Damon anymore, but rather what Damon wants to create and who he can get to create that sound.

Tl;dr: Four out of Five Stars.

You passed 28000 B/P! Congrats!

Sort of... I mean, it's been three weeks of school, it feels like a bit more, though. Maybe it's because I'm keeping my promise to never sleep during classes again - last year I had naps pretty much every day, and the year seemed to fly by. :P

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

Well, if they couldn't beat England in the game itself, they used psychological pressure. And England feel into it, I guess. Really low strategy.

Oh, and England beat Egypt 3-1 in football. I know it's just an exhibition match, but it's a start, Egypt isn't that bad.

Same for Brazil - 2-0 over Ireland. We played a poor football though, we could have done a lot more.

It's about time i start making lists again. I looked and the last one i made was 12/27/09, and when i just stoped posting for the most part. Right now i'm trying to find a happy medium. It seems to be if i can't give myself to this place and make my usual 15 posts in this section of the forums a day. I just don't post at all. Now i don't have as much time to give to this place, i'm trying to find that inbetween where i can help out/have some fun and not spend my whole nite here.

Mwmike, it's been a whole year since you last made a list...wow.

Expires? I'm not sure if things like that are even possible in Europe :p

Hahaha, yeah, there's a model we should follow. :P

Basically, if someone commits a crime today, in five years time that crime won't count anymore. And it's just one of the examples of how bad our judiciary system is. Some of the things I remember...

- If you're a teenager, no matter what drime you commit, in a maximum of three years time you criminal file will be clean. Like if it never happened;

- If you have a "good behaviour" in prision, you'll only take 1/3 of the original punishment;

- You can respond to lawsuits in freedom, you just need to try and they'll concede you an habeas corpus.

- The maximum punishment is about 35 years. With the good behaviour thing... ~12 years? Even if you kill 1,000 people? Riiiight...

Also, I always find it strange that countries run investigations against their own politicians. I mean I always thought that the politicians were pretty much in charge of that. Or does the guy have many enemies in his own government?

Not really. I mean, here we have innumerous political parties, so other parties can fill lawsuits against other politicians as well.

But what our governor did was a blatant crime: he was taped getting public money. It's a whole complicated story, but everyone can see him with blocks of money in that tape. One of his party members hid money in his underwear and socks, another one began praying, thanking God for the stolen money...

Really, I'm losing the little faith I had in our politicians.

Hahaha, I remember that. Also, when he was trying to stop their airplane, he pretty much didn't care about the oxygen masks. :P

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

Haha oh yeah! He was standing there, shooting at the aircraft for like a full minute before he went back to breathe.

Until he realized his health bar was dropping, thus he had to put the mask before dying there. :P

I also loved how he was just sipping his coffee when he was blasting the crap out of that home tree with those helicopters. That was probably my favorite action scene from the entire movie.

Hahahahaha, that was a great scene indeed, despite being really emotional in the end of it. Maybe we should change the sentence to:

IT'S TIME TO KICK ASS AND DRINK COFFEE.

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.

That's a complaint I hear more often. People getting headaches in the cinemas after a while and from some people I even heard they had to leave after 20 minutes or so. Gotta say that my eyes also started to hurt after an hour or so.

Well, I didn't see anybody leaving the room during the movie and not returning. But I'm pretty sure not everyone was satisfied with those glasses.

Another complaint I heard was from my dad. He wears glasses, and using a glass in front of another one wasn't very pleasant. He had to adjust it all the time.

That's one of the main reasons why I don't like 3D cinema so much. I mean I can just feel that my eyes are simply being deceived.

But hey, what about those grenades and missiles coming up towards you, eh? :P

What I also hate is that there are more and more movies coming out right now which are only in 3D.

Indeed. I think the new Shrek and Toy Story will be 3D only too. I wasn't going to watch then anyway, but yeah.

Like next weekend I'll be going to Alice in Wonderland, but I will have to watch it in 3D and I will have to pay a few euros extra for that. I don't want to pay extra >=(

Right, that's something else. The original prices in here were about 50% cheaper than the 3D movies. And they weren't announcing the 3D prices anywhere, we got to know it at the balcony.

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

Hehe well if your music is being downloaded more than bought than I can imagine that can kinda suck if you are an artist :p But I bet she is still earning plenty of money anyway, so... I can't feel sorry for her.

She played a couple of concerts in here not so long ago. If half the profit went to her, she can't complain about anything.

Also meh.. I got a feeling it's a war they can't win anyway. I mean, I believe youtube keeps trying to remove videos of copyrighted material but it seems that there are more going in than out. They're only creating more and more dead links on their own website this way.

Really, there are many alternatives to YouTube. Sure YT is the most popular one, but if I search on Google for a song, it's really likely that I'll find it, possibly with a download link. There are many communities dedicated to that, it's a lost war.

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.

B.B. King is probably a great artist, but I would never pay $90 to visit his show. That's just too much indeed. Especially for someone who is almost retired.

See, this is the problem - will he ever return here? Possibly not... It's a lost opportunity.

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".

Oh yeah that's another thing I heard. So yeah, it has a lot of autobiographic elements from Roger Waters life as a musician.

Waters is a great musician, but I think his ego got bigger than him latter with Pink Floyd. Too bad they only reunited once for a Live Earth concert.

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. =)

Listening to some Origin of Symmetry songs right now. I still don't know. Instrumentally it is alright in my opinion, but their singer... I just really don't like his voice. Bliss is probably the best song from that album in my opinion.

Bliss is one of my favourites in OoS, but I'd rather Plug In Baby. It's one of the best riffs ever, in my opinion.

And yeah, his voice is annoying sometimes. Give a listen to Micro Cuts, you WILL hate it. :P

Also I must say that I am really missing variety. Every single one of their songs sounds.. depressing imo =/

Hmm, some of their songs are really depressing (Blackout; Unintended...), but some others are full of energy (Butterflies & Hurricanes; Map of the Problematique)... Lyrically, it's pretty confusing as well... I mean, Plug In Baby talks about... ehh... I have no idea. :P

Oh, and England beat Egypt 3-1 in football. I know it's just an exhibition match, but it's a start, Egypt isn't that bad.

Crouch is looking a shoe in for the World Cup - I wish that Mr. Capello had given some more hopefuls a chance.

Same for Brazil - 2-0 over Ireland. We played a poor football though, we could have done a lot more.

You should have done better. I counted 4 times that I was sitting there and you guys got quality chances and I said "two-nil" and you failed to score. Robinho obviously hates scoring in England ;)

Have you been keeping up with football lately?

Yeah, I've been keeping an eye on it. Spain and Argentina look like the teams to beat at the Finals this year, with outsiders of Brazil, Italy, France, Germany and England. Can't be more specific yet, but we'll see.

When I think of Gorillaz, I think of the four characters and 2D as the lead vocalist. The occasional guests are fine but Plastic Beach didn't have as much Damon as I felt there should have been. Still, it's not bad for what it is but I'm in no rush to get this album.

No worries, mate. I've been playing a lot on payload maps lately, I really like being a Scout in them :)

On second thought, I've been told by my friend that PropHunt has been updated as well as the return of Bestinclass map which got fucked in the ass by one TF2 update a month or two ago.

Luck wasn't on its side.

Scout and Demoman also failed but Scout was fighting against Heavy in the pre-contest stage and we all know who's the better class here.

Hahaha, yeah, there's a model we should follow. :P

Basically, if someone commits a crime today, in five years time that crime won't count anymore. And it's just one of the examples of how bad our judiciary system is. Some of the things I remember...

- If you're a teenager, no matter what drime you commit, in a maximum of three years time you criminal file will be clean. Like if it never happened;

I believe there is something similar here actually. When you commit a crime when you are underaged, you will only have to do some work, like cleaning up the streets, for some time and then everything will be forgiven and forgotten. But I think if you commit a big crime at the age of 16 or so, you will have to go to a youth prison anyway and it will be recorded on your... penalty sheet? (not sure what the English term would be). Which means you probably won't be able to find a decent job so easily anymore once you're free. And repeated offenses means heavier punishments.

- If you have a "good behaviour" in prision, you'll only take 1/3 of the original punishment;

Lol :p I know good behaviour might set you free earlier here as well, but it's not like you will have to sit for only 1/3rd of you punishment. That's almost laughable. I mean you can get 4-6 years for some pretty serious crimes here, but if you would only have to sit for 1 or 2... robbing that jewelery store might start to become worth the risk.

- You can respond to lawsuits in freedom, you just need to try and they'll concede you an habeas corpus.

A what? Sorry I don't know much about juridical terms. Don't speak Latin either :p

- The maximum punishment is about 35 years. With the good behaviour thing... ~12 years? Even if you kill 1,000 people? Riiiight...

I thought you would have the death penalty in your country, but 35 years is still a lot. I believe we have the 'lifelong' sentence, but in practice I believe it often means 20 years maybe. You will have to have done something really bad if it's going to be lifelong.

Also, I always find it strange that countries run investigations against their own politicians. I mean I always thought that the politicians were pretty much in charge of that. Or does the guy have many enemies in his own government?

Not really. I mean, here we have innumerous political parties, so other parties can fill lawsuits against other politicians as well.

I suppose they do that a lot with all the corruptness and such?

But what our governor did was a blatant crime: he was taped getting public money. It's a whole complicated story, but everyone can see him with blocks of money in that tape. One of his party members hid money in his underwear and socks, another one began praying, thanking God for the stolen money...

Really, I'm losing the little faith I had in our politicians.

Haha, yeah then you sort of lose all your credibility as a politician.
