True but old people are scared of technology. I would say it would be easier to vote online but I can see what they would say about that.

Still, the results come a lot quicker than with the paper voting. :)

You'll be surprised how quickly the voting is counted here. It's not too terribly slow.

Good, I don't know why he was slumping in the beginning of the game.

Swiss blue-liner. Also, the only Islander to go to a national team this Olympics. =/

Good for him. The only Swiss NHLer I knew of was Jonas Hiller.

Heh, they are the two players that I recognised from Switzerland. :P

But hey, John Tavares netted a 2-goal + 3-assist combo in last night's win over the Canucks. :)

Anyone that kills the 'nucks is a friend of mine.

Heh, I quite like the Canucks, as long as they don't beat either the Caps, the Islanders or the Habs. :)

But I still think that "douche" is going to win Rookie of the Year.

Comedy nickname FTW!

Hahahaha, that Matt "Douchene" guy is actually pretty good, better than Tavares or Victor Hedman, the first two picks. Also, isn't he a, Avs fan as well? It must be great playing for the team you like.

But they don't sell Guinness in there or you never had the opportunity to have one?

Indeed. I was 7 when I first heard it. I remember putting it on repeat several times in my brother's CD player. :)

The only metal I heard of back then was Black Sabbath.

I enjoy Black Sabbath, but I only got to them later. But I really liked Helloween, Iron Maiden, Sonata Arctica...

And I dream of a Blind Guardian concert in here...

I dreamt of a Gamma Ray concert at the field near mine the other night. If only that actually happened. Wouldn't be possible considering it's a hilly field as well as residents living nearby.

Oh, I imagine how you felt when you woke up...

But has Wirral got a place for big concerts? Or just more far away areas?

Ah, I think it would be really hard to have an online voting system. I believe the physical presence is required, otherwise you could vote for someone else, if you had the chance.

Still, the results come a lot quicker than with the paper voting. :)

You'll be surprised how quickly the voting is counted here. It's not too terribly slow.

Our results come in about 5 hours. I think the American ones are about the same.

Your experience gave you a voting power of 5.73 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 22% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 7 votes!

The more experience points you have, combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

7 Total voting power.

You passed 20000 B/P! Congrats!

Cool beans! 20k and counting!

Tally Ho!

Just voice acted for a movie. It's really bad quality and doesn't really have anything good about it at all. The voices are mediocre at best, but the author wanted to submit it as history as it was something really old that he had made. He really didn't care about the quality of the voices, but just wanted them on there so I did a rush job. There will be a good flash coming soon though. Until then you guess can tell me how bad this was. :P

I'm sure I didn't have much fun as they did in Ireland. I'm actually sure I didn't have much fun at all. My courses have been keeping me so busy that I haven't had time to do other things. They kind of time it that way around the partying holidays for a reason.

Same here. I don't have any milestones that I'm really close to right now. I'm not too far from 1,000 reviews (flash and audio), but it's far enough away that I won't be too worried about it. I might even level up before that happens.

Yeah, I was very disappointed. I'm still sad that I didn't get the chance to see Helloween and Gamma Ray live together. My sister wasn't familiar enough with those bands at the time.

Nope, the best local venue is one of the Liverpool universities.

Well, on a guaranteed saver of 3%, I can make a decent whack, but I have to leave the Saves in the account for so long. Just think, in 1 year, that gives me an additional 1,410 saves. Not to be sniffed at.

Hahaha, yeah, and the fans should like you more as well.

Oh yeah, so long as you play good ;)

That's what I was expecting at first. If they're really crowded, rusty and lacking of cops, aren't there any major break-outs and riots occasionally?

Break-outs aren't more difficult to happen. Despite being crowded, they won't hesitate in shooting whoever tries to leave.

But yeah, once a year or so we see riots where the prisoners take over the place and start demanding things, such as the liberation of certain prisoners (like "bosses" of drug dealing). They either give up or the police represses them, and their penalty is extended.

Heh, yeah it's not like they can go anywhere I guess. If they leave they'll get shot so... For the police it's just a matter of waiting until they give up.

Strange. If I remember my history books correctly, Portugal and Greece never had much to do with each other. So how come there are so many Greek therms in the Portuguese language then?

I don't really remember, I haven't studied the history of the Portuguese language. All I know is that it's a variant of a region in Spain. Maybe Spain was more connected with Portugal?

Still, the majority of terms are Latin, some are Greek.

Well Spain and Portugal are neighbors so... :p Still doesn't explain why you guys speak some Greek though. Is it Basques (or whatever that language is called) what you guys speak by the way?

I don't know. I only know they speak Portuguese in Brazil and Portugal, but there must be a few more African and South-American Portuguese countries right? So I think it might be a little more than 300 million (isn't Brazil already more than 300 million?).

Nah, not really. The two major countries would be Brazil and Portugal, with some countries in Africa, but none in South America. There are fewer than 300,000,000 lusophonics, I'm sure.

Brazil is nearing 200 million right now.

I thought you guys would have way more inhabitants than that, considering the size of your country. Or are you guys like Australia and China, where the majority of the people lives along the coast? I bet there aren't many people living in the rain forests at least...

And our neighbours speak mostly Spanish, with the exception of French (French Guiana), English (Guyana) and Dutch (Suriname). See, you can live in South America if you want to. :)

Haha yes I could go live in Suriname if I want to. I know many people in Holland wouldn't mind living there, due to the much better weather they have. Plus the Suriname people always seem way more relaxed and happy than we are.

I could also go to the Dutch Antilles, which is probably more western than Suriname. I'm guessing it's mostly inhabited by tourists nowadays. For the rest there's South-Africa where they speak a riddle-ish version of dutch, or the northern regions of Belgium. But that's pretty much it for the dutch speaking countries in the world.

But hey, you still beat the Dutch language, which is spoken by less than 50 million I think. Up here we're getting taught at least four different languages in middle-school, because otherwise we can't even order a sandwich when we're on a holiday =/

Well, if you know English, you can survive pretty much anywhere. :P

When I go to France on a holiday, it's still difficult though. Most French people just don't want to speak or learn English. Mainly the older generation doesn't understand a word you say. The younger generations do learn English now, but they don't seem to like you much if you start talking to them in English =/

I have been taught a little bit of French myself fortunately , but just enough to be able to order a sandwich or ask which way I have to go :p

I'm still thinking whether or not I should learn a third language...

You speak English and Portuguese right? Well like you said, if you speak English you could go almost anywhere. In your case it might be handy to learn some Spanish though, if most of your neighboring countries speak Spanish. Unless of course you never go there and never meet any tourists.

Hehe no :p If such a thing would happen, you would probably get a "motion of distrust" as we call it here. Means the minister has to explain himself and if he can't then he has to give up his job and leave politics forever. He'd probably get thrown in jail as well. I can assure you that if it gets caught on tape, he'd be arrested the same day the tape comes out.

Our governor was only arrested a month later, for trying to "buy" a testimony. He was "interfering the investigations" as they said... And now, he'll leave jail for a heart surgery, who knows who many people want the surgery to go wrong. :P

Oh, and my dad wrote a mini-article for the newspaper that got published regarding the governor's situation. In his words, "Federal intervention NOW!". I think it's his third article in the newspaper. :)

So your Dad is some kind of journalist? Cool! Was it for a big newspaper?

He's pretty much blaming all our countries problems on the muslims. He wants to stop the integration of muslims, stop the building of muslim churches and throw muslim criminals out of our country. For the rest he just says whatever's the popular opinion to win more votes for him.

Wow, he is that racist? And he's running for the elections? o_O

Yep he is, and he is indeed running for elections. Quite successfully actually, since he would currently be the second or third biggest party according to the predictions. People say it's gonna be bad for our worldwide reputation though, and will have a big influence on our economy. Somewhere this week Wilders called the Turkish prime minister a freak or something. Of course that's not good for our relation with Turkey.

Yeah I think Wilders is having similar ideas. He wants to drop taxes, stop a few major (controversial) projects and fire a LOT of people who are working for the government (like the higher up-people from the police). I believe it's all meant to fight the economic crisis, but I doubt it will work.

Well, I'm afraid of our next govern... The right wing candidate is ahead in the pre-voting polls, but the left wing is closing the gap... maybe it's because our current president (left party) brings his candidate EVERYWHERE to help her campaign. That's cheating. :P

Lol. So the president is like... promoting the next left party's candidate? :p Yeah that is indeed unfair towards the other parties.

Whahahahaha, so sometimes they're not even there? :p Kinda makes me wonder why they became politicians in the first place. Sounds like they're only in it for the money and the power.

Sure, isn't that obvious? :P

Some of them only show up when they want to, make those "pre-made speeches" and travel somewhere else. SUUUUURE...

Haha so they're actually on vacation most days of the year? :p

At least you won't get thrown in jail, like they do in some countries.

Really? Arrested for not voting?

Yep. Seems to the case in quite a bunch of countries all across the world actually. Not sure which one of them actually throw people in jail for not showing up, but seems like even in Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Australia you will have to vote if you are allowed to.

Yes indeed. You'll get a lot of votes from people who don't know jackshit about who they're voting for and what's going on in the country. That can't be right.

Also, some politicians try to buy votes from the more poor classes, and for really low prices. We usually see some getting caught, but who knows how many have "escaped" with that?

Lol. Well if I was poor I'd probably take the money as well. I mean there are probably not many fair politicians standing up for the poor people right?

And part 2. Just hope I haven't forgotten anything.

Heh, and James Cameron lost the Best Director award to his ex-wife. :P

Imagine what their son would be like?

A super director? At least that's what everyone would expect him to be, but of course he doesn't necessarily have to be very good at directing...

I think it was pretty enjoyable and worth a visit to the cinema's. Don't expect it to be anything like the books though, a lot of elements in the cinema version do not fit the book that well actually. Like wars and fighting scenes.

Hmm, so Tim Burton twisted the story, eh? I'm willing to see it now, I'll check whenever it's in the movies...

No, no. It's actually supposed to be a sequel to the books. Alice is now 19 instead of 7 and goes back to Wonderland to find out it's been taken over by the Red Queen. I'm just saying some elements Tim Burton added do not fit the books that well. The books are really not that serious you know, so fighting scenes and all that...

Yeah it doesn't make any sense to me.

Well, maybe they'll lower the prices when 3D cinema becomes more popular... right?

It's already becoming more and more popular, but it seems to me like the cinema's now have a good excuse to cash in on some extra money. Because for most people it's still new and mindblowing and all that, so they'll go to the cinema anyway.

Heh yeah I wish there was a cinema nearby here as well. Otherwise I'd consider buying a subscription so that I can go to the cinema all year for a set price. I'd love to spent some of my evenings there every month.

Whenever my friends want to go to watch a movie, we just stay at the mall, have lunch and wait until it starts. :)

But I think there aren't subscriptions in here. Individual tickets only.

Yeah I wish I could do that as well, but like I said, on the island I live there is not a single cinema. We have to go to Rotterdam which is at least a 20 minutes drive so... it's not like we will just go there if we are bored or something.

Haha :p Aren't people blaming them nowadays for becoming sell-outs or something? Like when they made a Metallica Rock Band version, their fans really didn't like that or so I've heard.

I liked GH Metallica, I don't care whenever someone says that a band sold out. As long as their music is enjoyable...

Also, their concerts are amazing. :)

Yeah it sounds a bit like whining because they're starting to become popular among the masses which die-hard fans don't like. But indeed, as long as their music is still good, why complain? And yeah I've heard their concerts were really good as well.

Also they played at a dutch festival called Pinkpop two years ago. Pinkpop... as the name already implies, it's mostly for pop/poprock music and a lot of people are dressed in pink there. There's nothing heavy metal about it at all. Yet they played there anyway.

Really? Wow, now that's pretty weird, since they have a bad-ass reputation... playing in a pop festival? O_o

Weird isn't it? The bands that usually play there are bands like The Kaiser Chiefs, Keane, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, The Kooks, but also pop artists like Pink, Amy McDonald, Katy Perry etc.

It's really not a hardrock or heavy metal festival at all. Although they had Volbeat last year and this year they've managed to get Rammstein =/

Lol. That's a big difference indeed. How much are these 'reals' worth in dollars?

1 dollar = 1.76 reais. So 150,00 reais = 85 dollars.

That's still a lot indeed for the cheapest ones. The cheapest seats at the U2 concert last summer were only 30 euros I believe, which equals about 45 dollars at the moment I think.

And 40 reais for Muse is about 25 dollars then? That's really cheap man :p I'm sure they'd ask way more than 16 euros here.

I don't know about that. All I know is that Syd Barrett lived alone for the rest of his life and always got pissed when reporters called him Syd Barrett. So I guess he never had much contact with the band anymore after the emotional meeting when they were recording Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

I know there's a reference to him in a Pink Floyd song in The Wall. It's a hidden backwards message in "Empty Spaces", I think.

Haha I just looked it up on Youtube. This is indeed a clear case of a hidden message, but is Old Pink a reference to Syd Barrett then? I also listened to the full song backwards and something else seems to be said after the message, but I can't really hear what it says.

I think a friend told me some time ago that David Gilmore is the only one stopping a Pink Floyd reunion at the moment. The other band members have set their differences aside at some point.

Well, they should get over their differences and make a small reunion... Not only they would revive their old days, but the crowd would be sold-out, wherever they played at.

Definitely. If they came to Holland then I'd definitely try to get some tickets for it, and I know plenty of people who would do anything to get there as well.

Lol, that's a crazy title indeed. It's even weirder than How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (U2). Is there any deep thought behind it (sorry for asking anyway)? :p

I'm not sure... Since Matthew Bellamy LOVES conspiracy theories, it might have to do something with it. HAARP is a target for many conspiracy theories, including nuclear weapons related. :P

Never heard of it before, but sounds plausible to me. Their music always seems a bit.. anti-government-ish for some reason.

I think I might like it?

Who knows... they had a small orchestra in their previous album, anything is possible!

They seem like the kinda band that would do such a thing. Aren't they getting a lot of inspiration out of classical music?

I'm pretty sure it would still take me weeks to learn though, since I really don't have any musical talent.

Learning how to play a guitar isn't a very easy thing... you will be horrible for 6 months, until you start playing something. It takes a lot of practice and patience. But it's worth it. :)

Yeah I wouldn't mind learning it, but I would want to play electric guitar and to get some good equipment you will have to pay a lot of money =/ I'm just afraid I'll spent 500+ euros only to find out that playing guitar is not really my thing.

Nah they don't seem like drug users to me. They seem more like the kinda guys that never smoke, drink or do drugs at all actually. I forgot how those people were called again... straight-edgers or something...?

I think that's correct, although I've seen Bellamy smoking with Slash in a video. Anyway, I think they don't do any hard drugs. Maybe just the regular alcohol / cigarette.

Too bad he smokes, though. :(

Hehe that's gonna ruin his voice someday :p

I had many classmates skip out the Monday after spring break. The only classes that I had where people didn't skip were in my education major because those people know if they want to be teachers they have to show up even when they don't want to.

Ah, OK then. I'm part Italian, being my grand-grand father one of the first immigrants to bring wine straight from Italy to Brazil. Also, he's the name of a street and a school in the south of Brazil. :)

But I can't. Also, I need to get out my camera which needs some batteries and I don't have any new ones lying around.

We have Guinness here, I just haven't taken the chance to drink one yet. Yeah, shame on me.

But are they somewhat more expensive that the regular beers in there?

I'd assume so. Either way, I'll try and take the opportunity to have one...Sometime.

Oh, and they sell on regular stores or just in some specific places?

They're sold in regular stores as well as pubs.

All of them are awesome, even Sonata Arctica IMO. :)

What do you mean by ''even Sonata''?

Because quite a portion of the metal community don't take a liking to Sonata Arctica.

Yeah, I was very disappointed. I'm still sad that I didn't get the chance to see Helloween and Gamma Ray live together. My sister wasn't familiar enough with those bands at the time.

They played around there?

Yeah, they had a show in London.

Nope, the best local venue is one of the Liverpool universities.

Ah so you have to travel for every concert you go to, then?

Well, Liverpool isn't too far off but not every band I know will play here. If they don't play here, then London may be the better choice, despite Manchester being quite close.
