Heh, I want to see Haggard LXXVI getting that!

Until then, Haggards should live at least 300 years each.

Yes.

Yes, that's why I want to punch him, for not owning them when I borrowed CDs from him.

Then just add 3650 to both values and you can see what your deposit rate will be in one year. Then simply multiply 3650 by 2 (3, 4, ...) to see what your deposit rate will be in 2 (3, 4,...) years.

Cheers! Just worked it out myself and it'll take me 159 years to get 99.99% deposit rate. Looks like my great great great great grandchild will get that by then. Hopefully it'll be a boy and he'll be named Bahamut VII. I guess that'll be my next life. :P

Maybe with the right medicine and the right medical devices you can live long enough to reach that goal yourself.

Indeed, we're close to finishing now. GameFAQs just finished their contest but it sucked. They better listen to the criticism I MIGHT give them.

I decided to move this from the top of my post to the middle. I feel that my plugs and odds and ends were starting to become the main part of my post instead of the list like it should be. I also think it looks much more organized down here.

Check out this video that I voice acted for. The animation isn't the best, the sound of the voices isn't the highest quality, but I really do feel like it makes up for these things with a lot of humor. Perhaps I'm biased, but I've laughed at parts every time I watched it.

The author was pretty upset that it went ignored for the most part. It had 0 reviews up until last night when some random person came by and gave it a 10. The scoring was a bit odd as it passed with a 3.00, but then for some reason dropped down to a 2.4 that night. Almost like someone had massed it down. Then the next day the score went back up to about 2.8 and I haven't a score do that on a submission before. O.o

Plus you get to see an animated Fro sing. Of course by Fro I mean me. ;)

Sometimes it doesn't load anything at all. Also the post button on the BBS sometimes just doesn't respond.

I don't think so. I've been having trouble with Firefox as well now actually. Similar problems arise. But I think the reason might be that too many people are on the internet here. NG is a pretty heavy website and perhaps my dad and brother are downloading tons of stuff at the moment so that my connection becomes incredibly slow =/

Huzzah, I am level 42.

Yippy ki yay!

8,000 saves...it's funny how I always get my -,000 saves a bit after I rank up..probably because my blams aren't that many (although lately I've been getting way more blams than usual).

Hmm more people who weren't happy with the Gamefaqs contest, what a surprise. Honestly I'm getting fed up with them because it's the same damn characters every year, including the same handful of joke characters (L Block, Missingno) and it's always so easy to predict what's going to happen.
Any character from really popular Nintendo games will do well and any Final Fantasy character will do well, and considering at least half the characters in the contest fall into these categories it's pretty easy to predict what will happen. Easy enough for me to come out of it with a score of 358 anyway. Only big mistake I made was having Aerith win everything up to the quarter finals and then she lost first round.

I scored Corporal.

I feel another '80s sitcom quotation spree coming on:

"Edmund, I have created GOLD!" *opens pot, lighting goes decidedly green*
"Ah, now you see Percy, the thing is, that the colour of gold... is gold. And what you have created, if there is such a name for it... is green."
"Oh Edmund..." *picks up piece of green reverently* "Can it be true? That I hold here, in my mortal hands... A nugget of purest green?!"
"Well, I wouldn't say it's a nugget, Percy... More of a splat."

It's not just you, I've had a few problems loading some pages here as well. Other sites work flawlessly. Nevertheless, I'm sure it was the site and not us.

Today it seems to be working fine, but I'm sure it will start acting up again on me. having to refresh 3 or 4 times is not pleasant and is quite irritating.

To those who are experiencing problems with Newgrounds right now, I highly recommend contacting Tim and give him as much detail as possible (e.g. What happens when you try connecting to the site, your ISP, OS, etc.) but be sure to report any problems to your ISP as well incase it's a fault on their end.

This is why I ended up making my own contests. I exclude GameFAQs' winning and runner-up characters from my contests as well as joke "characters". Infact, even mentioning the word characters to them is insulting enough.

Any character from really popular Nintendo games will do well and any Final Fantasy character will do well, and considering at least half the characters in the contest fall into these categories it's pretty easy to predict what will happen.

I would like to see how people would cope WITHOUT any Nintendo or Final Fantasy characters. That ought to be an interesting challenge.

Yeah refreshing the page is something I had to do a lot as well. Anyway I just downgraded my Opera version back to Opera 10.01 and it works really smoothly again. Not sure for how long though, but I think this might have solved the problem. So maybe you should try to do the same if the problem arises again.

I guess maybe Newgrounds just isn't ready for the new browsers yet? I thought liljim once said that that could be a problem.
