Level 35!

This is my 666th post.

Happy birthday Coop! Incidentally, is that meant to be pronounced coop like chicken coop, or coop like cooperative?

I couldn't even quote the post without losing some text due to the character limit =/

Anyway part 2 coming up later.

Ah, cool. I have a book somewhere with all the (main) meaning(s) of all the U2 songs up to around 2000. I wish I could find it, then you wouldn't have to look up such things as I could confirm them before I hit "post." #;-}>

Really? That'd probably be an interesting book to read through. I know Bono always writes his lyrics very carefully and especially their earlier songs have some of the strangest lyrics at first glance.

Oh yeah. I've listened to War from start to finish like you suggested, but that was already some time ago. I think my opinion was that it was a good album, but I wouldn't put it among my favorites.

Ah, good that you've listened to it once, at least. Give it another shot sometime. The first 4 tracks are right up there with any 4-straight tracks on any U2 album, IMO. SBS, NYD, and Like a Song... are some of their strongest work, and Seconds is pretty good, too (one of the few ones with Edge on lead vox). And a few of the later tracks past the strong opening are good, too (such as Two Hearts Beat as One), though some are a bit sleepy, which is something TUF has in common with War in the later parts of the album.

I remember that I thought Seconds was a bit strange, but I liked it. Two Hearts Beat as One I know from the live album (Under A Blood Red Sky). It's a pretty nice song in my opinion. Like a Song is nice as well. Very energetic song with some great guitar-work imo. And obviously I know about SBS and NYD already. They're great songs, but you shouldn't hear them too often.

Is I Threw A Brick Through A Window on it as well by the way? My dad recently gave me a live DVD of some of their earliest performances and they opened quite nicely with that song. Then they followed it up with A Day Without Me, one of my favorite Boy songs.

Of course, TUF also has Bad on it, which is up there in the "best U2 songs evar" rankings, especially the live version (which isn't on the album, but I like the album version a lot more than some fans seem to...).

Which one? I suppose you mean the Wide Awake in America version. That was a nice version indeed, but I think Bad always does well live. Personally I love the Rattle and Hum version. The Boston DVD version of the Elevation tour was pretty nice as well, but it wasn't as elaborate as the other two. It went over into Where the Streets Have No Name quite nicely though.

I still gotta give the other two a full listen. Perhaps I should put them on my iTunes.

No October or TUF yet, eh? October can wait... TUF cannot! ;_;

No I still haven't listened to either of the two. I just remembered October is the only album my dad doesn't have in his U2 collection, so getting that one on my iPod is gonna be a bit more difficult. Perhaps I'll just look around on Youtube or something. As for TUF, I'll see if I can upload it soon.

Well that's usually about the point where newer/better/updated games and sequels are brought out, right? And they'll start to disappear from the shelves in the store.

I tend to play most games 3-5 years after they come out. Cheaper and less taxing on the PC since you're playing older games on your newer (hopefully) PC.

Keeping up with the Joneses was fun for awhile in the 90s, but now I prefer to upgrade my PC as rarely as possible, and older (but gooder #;-}>) games = the easiest way to avoid having to do keeping-up-with-the-Joneses-style upgrading constantly.

I couldn't care less about keeping up with the Joneses :p My current PC is almost ten years old and still working pretty well, so I see no need to waste money on pointless upgrades.

And yeah I only buy older games as well at the moment. 60 euros for one game is a fortune for a poor student like me. Can't bother getting one of the latest generation consoles anymore either.

Heh, yeah the question is if she even wants that account. If she cared about levels she'd probably prefer to start at level 1 and work her way up herself. And if she doesn't care she probably wouldn't mind to start at level 1 either.

No, she clearly doesn't. But you never know... she might one day see a flash movie or play a flash game she wants to comment on SO BADLY that she signs up for her own account. I won't hold my breath, though.

She doesn't care about levels and exp or anything. The only statwhoring I've seen her doing is on last.fm, and it's because she likes to boost the playcount of her favourite musicians there... there'd be no such "wanting to help her fave music artists" motivation behind any of the stats on NG, so.... no dice.

Well maybe if she wants to support an author she likes on NG? But if she's not that interested in flash games/movies in general then I wouldn't hold my breath either.

gfox catch-up part 2

Hope I didn't forget anything.

Yeah. I think I would've liked it more if it seemed made out of wood rather than gold.

Exactly. Maybe mostly wood with a BIT of gold trim/accents. #;-}>

</bow construction & decoration 101>

Indeed, with a bit of gold trim to make it looks prettier. But pure gold just looks lame, plus I don't think you could even make a decent bow out of it in reality anyway.

The Zelda sword is probably my least favorite of the swords, but still a decent level icon.

The least good sword is still > most other weapons in level icons. #;-}>

True. Plus it's sort of similar to the old level 24 icon, which was quite a popular one if I recall correctly.

But yeah, it's not as good as the level 42 or 55 (or is it 56? Can't remember) swords, but still decent.

I agree. The other two just look more kick-ass and less... toy-ish.

Yep. I was at exactly 555 flash reviews and 190 responses at midnight. As you can see I haven't done much reviewing anymore ever since.

Cool. Yeah... I hear that. I think I've reviewed about 1 or 2 flashes per half-year on average for the past 2 years. I need to get back at reviewing Bahamut's flashes that he wanted me to review two years ago or so when I was last doing them (in fairness to myself, I did review two clusters of 15 of his flashes each, for a total of around 30 or more... but then I never ended up doing the last 15 he gave me to do)....

Just once or twice I year I usually get this review fever where I review several dozen in a couple of weeks time. Then I quit for like a half-year again or so. It's usually around summer- and Christmasbreak, when I have not much to do.

That reminds me by the way, I still got some Bahamut flashes to review myself if I ever wanna climb up the the responses ladder.

Hehe I think many kids don't like the music their parents listen to at first. But the 80's music my dad always turned on when we went on vacation started to grow on me over the years. And it also helps that I now actually know who those songs are from.

Yeah....

And yeah, when you don't know that this song is by this artist, and hey, that other song happens to be from that artist, too... it's a bit harder to get into music, no matter the genre.

True. Still, it's pretty odd to me that you would suddenly like a song much more when you find out it's from a band you like.

Radio is fine for listening to music, whether it's music you already know or not... but to truly delve into individual artists deeply, nothing beats diving into an album on your own instead of listening piecemeal from someone else playing a track or two or the radio playing only scattered singles...

Yeah they only play the popular tracks anyway while sometimes the bands' best work is actually in the lesser known parts of the albums (look at U2 for example). Still, you gotta take your time if you really wanna dig through a bands albums and I usually don't feel like taking that time.

The 60's and 70's I just went on exploring by myself. I think they're ultimately my favorite music decades, and I still got a lot to discover.

Throw in the 80s and you have a deal. BEST. THIRTY. YEARS. OF. MUSIC. EVAR. #;-}>

Agreed. Although the 80s did have some crap music here and there though and imo it is the point where music started to go downhill (slowly). Early 90s were still okay, but after that...

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

And actually... my fave song on that album is When the Levee Breaks (so I pick none of the three above, anyway).

Alright then. I'll just listen to all of them and see which one I like most :p

So, it's like 6 weeks later... listened to any LZ4 since then? #;-}>

I did listen to them, but again: it was long ago. I thought I liked Black Dog most actually, but I can't remember that well. Gotta listen to them again. I suppose I also need to go dig through some of their other albums. Or is LZ4 really their best?

Milestone:

Level 32

I really enjoy this level so far, but just like every other one it's hard to get use to. I'll be use to it in the next month or so though.

Down to 664 as I type this, so this post will bring it back to 665. Weird. It's a shame there's no way to know which posts are getting removed; no way of knowing what to avoid doing in the future. I know from being on the other side of another forum that it's unrealistic to expect personal messages each time a forum post is deleted, but I think it would be useful to have a repository of deleted posts in your account so you can see what gets a post deleted when you may not be expecting it to happen.

In other news, I made it to the office this morning about 10 minutes before heavy rain began. And then it was a torrential downpour. My timing is awesome! It's stopped now though.

Of COURSE!

And now read my blog about the awesome band.

I did and I commented.

Do you really think there's a possibility of Valve going out of business?

There's always a possibility. But they don't even have to go out of business to shut down the steam servers. ;)

And you think they'd shut down their servers before they go out of business? The number of users they had increased by a large margin last year. It's as likely as Newgrounds going out of business. Maybe even less...

Servers shutting down is a common thing in IT. Blizzard is still in business as well, but they shut down the servers for playing Diablo 1 online a long time ago.
Of course, Diablo 1 is an old game, but as I've said: If they ever think the servers for Steam cost too much they will shut them down. Now I don't think they will shut them down in the near future, but there's always the possibility that one day you can't play the games you bought just because there are no servers anymore.

Nah, the word filters to make everyone talk about Kevin Bacon is much worse.

But it only lasted for a day while the dollar bills last for years.

But we're talking about a single dollar bill.

Even a single dollar bill lasts for years. :P

IT. IS. IMPORTANT!

It is. But not as important as the exams.

Slayer are just as important, dammit!

I don't think so, but we have been to that point already. :P

If you did get them all right, then that's only one person so far who found them all. And yes, two were the same but they're two different people so it still counts as two.

Sadly I didn't find any on my own. The 37-one was quite obvious though, I should've thought of that. ^^

Yeah, there will be some obvious ones but the most obvious one I could have done was doing something for myself. I knew everyone would get that so easily so I thought about others.

The most obvious one would have been Pimp as he's the first user on the list.

And I was sad to see that my name didn't link to the band Haggard. :(

No. First year won't get you nothing. The "Grundstudium" (or "basic studies") lasts at least 4 semesters (for Bachelor you need 6 semesters).

I don't want to be online all the time to play the games I want. And I don't want to load up another program to play a game (well, I have to in some cases like old DOS games which require DOSBox or some emulated games... but I don't like to do that as well ^^).
Plus I want to be able to play the games I purchased in 20 years+ as well. And I also like to go to flea markets or garage sales to "hunt" for the games I want.
Plus it is always nice to know you could simply resell a game if you don't like it.

Those are all things Steam doesn't offer me.

And I was sad to see that my name didn't link to the band Haggard. :(

I could only do seven people.

Then you could've left out one of the other easter eggs. :'(

Aha. But does this Grundstudium get you anything then, like a diploma and such?

Well yes, you get a pre-degree, but it isn't celebrated in any way.

We're only young. We might get bored at some point. Mind you, Dragons usually live a lot longer than humans :P

Of course they do. They wouldn't be so mighty if they didn't live as long as humans.

I don't know, still being able to Mega Flare at people in an old folks home would be pretty funny :P

Everything? What, even about the...

Especially that, you naughty boy.

Oh no, I'll get the money, just don't tell anybody! You wait right here!

Here you are! So I give you the three hundred, and I get to keep my life. Okay?

Nnn -- not quite. No. Ah, the full deal is this: I get to keep the three hundred pounds, and your fantastic mate, Eddie, gets to live here rent free for the rest of his life.

It's said, how it's spelled - otherwise, it would be hyphenated, as in co-operative.

Heh, Co-op83.

Look, you listened to Ode to Shalashaska. Some people still call me Co-op. I dislike cally for this, but she's nice, so I have to forgive her.

And the Sox's bullpen made it easy. Though it was good to see Lackey still in form yesterday.

However they want to do it - Granderson leads the Yanks for Homers so far, but A-Rod is yet to click.

Well, we'll have to see if they still want to make perverted little flash. I could just use a game of "pussy or raw meat" right about now :P

I think we can convince Bahamut to make such a game for his 100th Flash. :)

I doubt it :P

I think Doop83 would be more appropriate. Ha!

Yes, this planet was mined hollow, by a DOOP mining team.

Yes it was. Best years of my life, well the parts I can remember. Ha!

Lol :p Were you always one of those typical students that got drunk every other day?

I wanted to stay in college longer but I already changed my major once, which caused me to be in school longer than the average and I didn't want to bury myself in more debt than I had to, like you mentioned.

No me neither. It would kinda suck if you just got out of school and see that you are 10,000+ euros in debt. Of course you could probably pay it back within a couple of years, but still... I'd rather spend that money on other things. Like I'll probably be busy finding a house and such.

But yeah, I miss the learning aspect the most. You don't do much of that after you graduate; there is no one to teach you, to push you knowledge-wise anymore.

Nah, and I heard that once you start working and stop studying, it's gonna get harder and harder to get back into studying and learn new things.

Does that do anything then? Like... can you get a better holiday job with it or stuff like that? Otherwise I don't really see the point of it.
