Yeah, I never heard about the views one. Perhaps it's when you get front paged instead?

Front page flash is a possibility. I thought you could get it if a flash of yours has 100k views.

Yes but you've got to realise how much of a great icon it is for both Fagamut and Faggard.

That's right. We'll have to see if I will be on NG that long so that Faggard reaches level 49. ^^

You'll be here long enough and so will Auz, Coop and myself.

And add time into that. LOADS.

Yes, lots of time indeed. You've got to reply to posts from months ago. I wish you luck on going through all the posts since your last visit. That'll be as challenging as gfox's LUL catch-up.

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.

It was on 1.6, last time I saw it.

No, it has been updated. You can now play as Engineer and Medic. Supposedly, when left-clicking as a prop, you'll be in first person, which helps a lot when you're a giant prop. Also, there are a few new maps. I noticed CTF Sawmill is now a PH map but it's fucking huge for 2 minute battles. If it was a minute longer, it wouldn't be so bad. That's the one reason why I'm beginning to like Cyberpunk less. It's far too big and far too easy to hide.

But hey, I've been having trouble with Steam since their last update. Somehow, TF2 can't connect to it, thus I play with the default weapons. Anything's been going on with Steam for you or it's just fine?

Steam Community was down.

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.

IT'S COWARD KILLING TIME!

NOW IS SCOUT KILLING TIME!

Heh, I made 20 posts in one day when the VG forums just opened and I didn't feel like a spammer. I was just excited about the new forum.

Ah, but they were 20 posts in General. And, looking back, they weren't constructive at all. I regret that.

Oh, General...Well, we can always try and do something with our revolution.

darknessdweller, is that you? :P

Also, I just watched Snow Wars. It's a great video. I might leave a review for it later, although it'll probably be pretty hard seeing as I'm seriously out of practice and I'm not used to reviewing submissions that aren't simply Flashes.

I will greatly appreciate any reviews. Feel free to review anything that I have submitted and I will respond. I'm currently in the works of a flash escape the room game that is going to use video and pictures. It should turn out pretty good.

I tried to be a part of the review request club, and it lasted 2 weeks. I reviewed all of the first weeks submissons and then the seconed week i got through less then half. It's just too much for someone who hates reviewing, I really don't like to for some reason... i just wanted to see how long i could go and get my count over 100. ::: don't call me a statwhore:::

My threads that involve discussion never get past the first or second page. :P

Really? Is it just a regular typo or something else...?

Yeah, I type everything out by hand. When I get to your name and I'm typing along I always type in Nutes. I have no clue why.

Hahahaha, OK then; put a trumpet on his mouth next time. :P

I have a week off. I can only hear myself snore for now on.

That was back when we were regulars. We need to get back there. :P

Someday. I still have to say congrats there sometime. It's just became another list instead of a lounge currently though. :(

Yeah, this new generation of regulars is becoming too lazy, IMO. :P

That's why I don't consider a lot of them regulars. ;)

Really? Can't you just have a copy made out of your roommate's keys?

That's highly illegal. O.O

How is that so? Even if he acknowledges that you're making a copy? Here copies are legal, at least.

It's the dorms key not mine. Anyway if it's lost then they have to drill the door again just in case somebody finds it and wants to break into the room.

Doesn't matter my sister found them at her house under the cover by the couch. I was playing with my nephew while my sister was at the hospital delivering my niece.

After lurking the forum for hours on end and finding about two or three threads that are interesting enough to post in, I figured that I might as well make my list for the night, even if it's a bit earlier than I normally would. It's a good thing to take up some time, even if there won't be much achievements going on right now, it being mid-evening (afternoon for you Americunts) right now, but hey - tomorrow's list should keep me going for a while

It's pretty much the opposite for me. I have an abundance of spare time - or, as others could put it, a tiny bit of spare time which probably should be used revising for whatever exam I've got tomorrow or working on one of the many bits of homework that I refuse to hand in just about every single day. I'm pretty lucky that right now I'm not doing the bits of homework that actually make a difference going past the next three to four weeks.

I'm starting to spend some more time here, and it's a far cry from what i used to. I was in a basketball tournament today after school and my team the "barack 'O ballers made it too round 2!

Heh, congrats. Love the name, by the way.

I enjoyed my first month or so on it, although I couldn't catch up with any of the other reviewers, mainly because they're so fast and also because I'm generally pretty slow with writing my reviews. After a few months I just dropped out, but if I'm ever looking to write some up purely for the sake of writing them then the first place I'd check would be the RRC.

It's one of the most solid looking levels for a good while, although I could like it seeing as back when I was new the person on the site who I got on with best (MichaelHurst) stayed using the icon for months and it reminds me of the old times.

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.

Hmm, I agree with Spain, but Argentina is doubtful - I mean, Lionel Messi, somehow, forgets how to play with Argentina. And Maradona... he was a great player, indeed, but they could use a better coach, IMO.

You should never underestimate the german team. Sure, they play like shit right now, and they will continue to do so in the WC, but somehow other teams play even worse when they face the german team, so germany (almost) always wins. XD

But seriously, semi finale in WC 06, Finale in EC 08... not that bad.

Well, crimes can "expire" here as well, but I'm not sure if that also counts if the person who commited the crime was already charged with it.

Even if they are being charged, the lawsuit might take so long that it reaches the "expiring date". That's right, sometimes it takes more than five years to complete a simple lawsuit here.

And I thought the german courts where slow... :/

It's interesting you say that...I had stopped coming to NG for like a good 4 or 5 years. I just had so many other things to do that I forgot about this place.

Back then (we're talking 2004/2005) it was really common to have more blams than saves. I guess the quality of portal submissions has gone up since then. I think It's just a matter of time before I ahve more saves than blams.

I actually feel the overall quality of day to day submissions to the portal has went down. Disregard my sign up date, I've been around flash and Newgrounds since 2002 and had another account that I abandoned. Maybe I'm disillusioned in my opinion, but it just seems this way. I think there does tend to be more spam submissions nowadays, as well.

Granted, there still are some amazing flash submissions, but they are few and far between. I tend to vote very generously, most of the time and I may be adding to the problem. Unless the submission is just complete junk, it will probably be passed. A fact, I've taken dual note of and thus I have given far more 2's when I probably should give 1's or 0's. Later I see the flash with a score of 2.20 or 1.90 or something and it only reinforces me to vote 2 on the next questionable flash.

Anyway, I think the quality has gone down, but people vote more generously.

I'm probably wrong.

I know. I'm not sure if it's really the 'quality' of submisssions that have gone up since then though. I think it's more like peoples mentality. Everybody seems to be a lot more save-happy now.

Of course, with the "Beckham Effect" sweeping the USA from LA, we're experiencing a burgeoning passion for Football, or Soccer, and kids are actually realising that football applies to the kicking of the ball, hence the original name "foot-the-ball".

Of course, this has the more talented stars of the game upping their own performances and with stars such as Landon Donovan following former national keepers Kasey Kellar and Brad Friedel over to the UK to play in the Premiership, confidence is high for team USA.

Stranger things have happened, but expect to see USA carved onto the winners list before the end of this decade. They showed promise in 2002 and 2006, so why shouldn't they do well at the finals?

Did you know that the word soccer was also an English creation? From association football to assoc to socca to socker to soccer. So either term is appropriate according to the peeps who created the English language. :P

I would love to see more of the US talent overseas like Jozy Altidore and Clint Dempsey. They really need to get some experience with the real pros. The creation of the MLS really helped build talent over the past 15 years or so compared to what it was, but it really hit a glass ceiling in the past few years imho.

Stranger things have happened, but expect to see USA carved onto the winners list before the end of this decade. They showed promise in 2002 and 2006, so why shouldn't they do well at the finals?

If I recall they choked in 06. I really hope to see the team that took down Spain last year rather than the one who lost to the Dutch (even though only half of the starters were there).

First of all, Auz's two-post catch-up replies:

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).

I think penalty sheet fits as well.

There are some similarities in here as well... If you're a teen and you commit a crime, you might do volunteer work in a poor community or - if it's a more serious crime - spend some time in a youth prison. The problem is that it isn't recorded afterwards - they have the thought that you "thought over what you've done" etc...

It doesn't work like that, IMO. =/

- 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.

And it isn't even helping around, it's just not getting caught doing anything wrong there. If you sit there all day long, you are behaving well...

robbing that jewelery store might start to become worth the risk.

Hahahaha, indeed. :P

But hey, the goods would be confiscated...

- 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

It would be, literally, a "clean body" - it's basically the right to respond the lawsuit in freedom.

Plus, I believe it's Greek, not Latin. Either way, our language is confusing. :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.

Nah, there isn't death penalty in here. Sometime we think it should have, due to some crimes that are shocking, like throwing your own daughter out of the window is a rage moment (this actually happened). It's a riot when something like this happens - protests, TV coverage, "human beings are disgusting!"... and in about two years, nobody remembers about it.

And yeah, I agree on perpetual sentences. Especially for such crimes.

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?

Yup. We can't divide the govern in two; govern + allies X opposition. They consist of many political parties, but they are either in favour or against what the government says, respectively.

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.

Even though a few days ago I got my card that gives me the right to vote in this year's elections. It's optional for who is 16-17 years old, but I still want to vote. Maybe I'll find someone who's decent/honest.

Yay!

IT'S TIME TO KICK ASS AND DRINK COFFEE.

Lol :p

I didn't like the emotional part afterwards much either. For some reason I just couldn't feel sorry for the Navi.

SPOILERS, in case no one has realised. :P

I felt that when her father died was more emotional, though. That and when he didn't have the oxygen mask on and she saved him.

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.

I haven't heard complaints about that yet. But I can imagine it would be very irritating for someone who wears glasses already.

It's really bad because the 3D glasses kept slipping while he was with them. You either adjust it all the time, or you have a huge nose to hold both glasses. :P

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.

Also did they only announce it when you were just about to buy the ticket? That's just lame.

Yeah, that's just Brazil. :)

Even though I still got the regular 50% discount for being a student, it was still really expensive.

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.

Yeah. You can also always use limewire and programs like that. I personally use Youtube downloader though. I heard that was not even illegal because Youtube paid for it or something. I don't know, it's too vague what's exactly legal and what not. Another reason why it's war they can't win.

Right, there's too much to discuss about that, I think there won't be a definite answer of what's legal or not so soon. I just think the artists should be more decisive in this, not the record companies. I mean, it's their songs, not the company's!

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

No I doubt it as well. How old is he by now? He must be in his 80's or something. He probably won't be touring around the world much anymore.

He's 84 now, and it's possibly his last world tour. If only they didn't put so many concert at the same time... :(

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.

Yeah. I heard they might want to reunite again, but only if there is another special occasion. So far there were none yet I guess.

Maybe they could make a tribute to Richard Wright, their former keyboard player who passed away in 2008...

Also I recently saw a video from 2008 where Roger Waters and David Gilmour met again. They happened to be at the same studio to record some stuff. It was quite a cold meeting though, just some quick talk and they went back to work.

Oh, that might have been very awkward...

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

Ugh! Seriously that song is just... ugh. Is he even singing words or anything? Because it sounded to me like he was trying to sound like a whining cat =/

I think there are lyrics, somehow. Have you ever heard the live version from H.A.A.R.P? That one has no lyrics, I'M SURE!

I'll have to remember this song in case I have another argument about Muse again. I think it sums up pretty much everything I don't like about Muse.

Only the screaming voice, I'd say, because instrumentally it's pretty good.

Hmm, some of their songs are really depressing (Blackout; Unintended...), but some others are full of energy (Butterflies & Hurricanes; Map of the Problematique)...

I don't like B & H's that much, but Map of the Problematique sounds very good actually. As a matter of fact, I find it the best Muse song I have heard yet by far. I really, really like it.

Yeah, it's a great song, one of their best, IMO. But my top three would be Hysteria. Plug in Baby and Assassin. I'd use them as my argument of why Muse is awesome. :)

Lyrically, it's pretty confusing as well... I mean, Plug In Baby talks about... ehh... I have no idea. :P

I can't understand any of their lyrics to be honest :p With most artists I can usually make out a few lines if I don't know the lyrics, but with Muse... can't understand a word.

There are some songs that have a more clear, direct meaning, but some others... well, they just rhyme. :P

Footballers are too rich, too young, according to Capello. Terry went and had an affair with Wayne Bridge's (now ex) girlfriend, so he lost the captaincy. Now we have to put up with Jar-Jar Binks (Rio Ferdinand) as the England captain for the World Cup.

Really, Ferdinand? I though Gerrard was chosen as the captain, I think a mid-fielder can hold that position better, since they are more active during the game.

Either way, I think being the captain only boosts the players morale, so it doesn't matter that much.

Have you heard of that Man. City fan who tattooed "Robinho" in his chest? :P

No, but that's about the standard of things that Man City fans will do.

What team to you cheer for there, anyway? Aston Villa?

Hmm, I agree with Spain, but Argentina is doubtful - I mean, Lionel Messi, somehow, forgets how to play with Argentina. And Maradona... he was a great player, indeed, but they could use a better coach, IMO.

I agree, but I've just got one of those feelings.

Well, I read a "specialist" opinion a few days ago and he pointed out Spain and Argentina as his favourite teams for the Cup. Maybe you write articles for sports site's as well. :P

Also, keep an eye for Brazil vs. Ivory Coast in the group stage. Bets are already on!

We've got some easier group games, with only the USA to really worry about there. Once we get to the knockout stages, it's going to be a lot tougher.

Sure. England vs. USA will be worth watching, since USA's football is growing more and more. It's going to be a great match, definitely.

Months? I think it's been a whole year since I haven't posted in there! It's only ~10 pages, though, I can do the "one-a-day" thing.

But it might take 10 posts as well. :O

It was on 1.6, last time I saw it.

No, it has been updated. You can now play as Engineer and Medic. Supposedly, when left-clicking as a prop, you'll be in first person, which helps a lot when you're a giant prop.

Ah, great. But how does it work when you're a Medic / Engie?

But yeah, I was a giant object a few times, and it's really hard trying to stick in a place where you can look like a normal object.

Oh, did they fix the ability to shoot as a prop (sometimes)?

Also, there are a few new maps. I noticed CTF Sawmill is now a PH map but it's fucking huge for 2 minute battles. If it was a minute longer, it wouldn't be so bad. That's the one reason why I'm beginning to like Cyberpunk less. It's far too big and far too easy to hide.

Sawmill is a huge map, you can hide in so many places...

And what would the pyros do if you hid in the water? Switch to shotgun?

But hey, I've been having trouble with Steam since their last update. Somehow, TF2 can't connect to it, thus I play with the default weapons. Anything's been going on with Steam for you or it's just fine?

Steam Community was down.

I saw that, but at the same time many players had all their items, while I was stuck with the default ones. I had to go Pyro, since I play with his default weapons, anyway. :)

Ah, but they were 20 posts in General. And, looking back, they weren't constructive at all. I regret that.

Oh, General...Well, we can always try and do something with our revolution.

Speaking of which, I still haven't posted in there - I somehow forgot about it! :(

Yeah, I type everything out by hand. When I get to your name and I'm typing along I always type in Nutes. I have no clue why.

How is that so? Even if he acknowledges that you're making a copy? Here copies are legal, at least.

It's the dorms key not mine. Anyway if it's lost then they have to drill the door again just in case somebody finds it and wants to break into the room.

Ah, that's OK then. Does the key has an identification in it, with address and everything?

It's good because people have to think before picking their candidates. It's bad because some people don't think before voting. =/

You guys got beaten by Netherlands 2-1. The Dutch team is good, and I honestly think that quarter finals should be more than enough for USA. :)

I don't care about that. If we beat those limey, girlfriend stealing British that would be all the joy I need.

You should never underestimate the german team. Sure, they play like shit right now, and they will continue to do so in the WC, but somehow other teams play even worse when they face the german team, so germany (almost) always wins. XD

The German team might seem disorganized, but the individual quality shows up when it gets real. ;)

But seriously, semi finale in WC 06, Finale in EC 08... not that bad.

Even if they are being charged, the lawsuit might take so long that it reaches the "expiring date". That's right, sometimes it takes more than five years to complete a simple lawsuit here.

And I thought the german courts where slow... :/

Just so you can have an idea - we have over 60 thousand lawsuits going on since 2005, which are yet to be finished this year, before they expire. O_o

My dream finale: Netherlands vs Germany. Preferrably with the same result as in '74. :D

When you beat the Carousel football "Clockwork Orange"... Too bad, it was the only game they lost in the whole year, and right in the World Cup finals...
