Tried it, no luck. I'll just have to use Firefox for the time being for eBay. What's worse, I'm having troubles ordering stuff on Amazon using Opera. That's two big sites having issues with the browser. This is not a good sign.

Strange. Don't have any problems on either site. :/

I'm not sure what the hell is wrong then but I'm considering a downgrade. Now I'm experiencing issues with the search function. When looking at walkthroughs on GameFAQs, it can't search shit! Maybe these sites don't even support Opera that well which is a damn shame.

That won't mean I won't die then. When that future becomes me, I'll know to not go back in time or find a way to counter my past self. See, I can keep things under control.

You mess up the whole timeline! Did you learn nothing from Back to the Future I-III?!

Uhh, obviously not. Will I get a lecture from Doc?

Yeah, but they were hypocrites, by going through Shakespeare and nothing else, while criticising me for reading only Terry Pratchett.

Heh, I had a reputation of only reading Stephen King and when I asked my teacher if we are going to read some foreign writers I got as a reply: "Well, we are not going to read anything by Stephen King." -___-

I don't know about that. When one writes about selling and eventually eating Irish children to feed the rich you know that must be tops in satire. :P

Oh for the opportunity to study Dickens. At least we could have related more to that, since he was only about 160-150 years removed from us. Shakespeare is some 400 years before we learned it, so we suffered from the fact that the language has changed an incredible amount.

What they never taught Dickens at anytime in school? There was no tell how many essays I had to write over Great Expectations in High School.

But yeah, the language difference is very noticeable between the two but I find that Shakespeare's works to be more entertaining; I never was able to finish a Tale of Two Cities.

I can and I will blame the teachers. They have their favourites from within the syllabus and they persistently picked them, as opposed to ones that they viewed as more of a challenge.

They will teach what they are similar with. I live in Oklahoma so there was a number of time through out HS and College where I had to read The Grapes of Wrath or analyze the difference between the movie and the book, or debate the plight of the poor in the book and it's relations to today's poor, etc. . .

The solution was to suggest other authors that you haven't read. Horror is a difficult genre that people don't usually want to study, as is fantasy. If Tolkien weren't fantasy, I could practically guarantee that English schools would study him as a part of their English Literature courses, but the education system seems to be against children using their imagination.

I don't know about that. When one writes about selling and eventually eating Irish children to feed the rich you know that must be tops in satire. :P

When you can satire everything from London (Ankh-Morpork) to the first Gulf War (his novel, Jingo), we know that there is a very subtle modern satire that not many people realise they have read. They see the satire, they understand the jokes and laugh, but they laugh on a different level. He flies under the radar in that respect.

I can and I will blame the teachers. They have their favourites from within the syllabus and they persistently picked them, as opposed to ones that they viewed as more of a challenge.

They will teach what they are similar with. I live in Oklahoma so there was a number of time through out HS and College where I had to read The Grapes of Wrath or analyze the difference between the movie and the book, or debate the plight of the poor in the book and it's relations to today's poor, etc. . .

That reasoning is because the teachers in later education don't realise that you've already covered the book. What needs to be done is that they "reserve" that text for later in life, so that you don't study a piece to death.

Hence why studying not only Shakespeare, but Romeo and Juliet 3 times through my education has left me somewhat jaded.

I don't think I'd have been so annoyed if I'd studied different works of Shakespeare.

You passed 23000 Saves. Way to go!

One week after the concert, I'm finally catching up!

I haven't written the blog for the concert yet. I had tests all week, and I got sick on Friday, when I intended to catch-up... But I'm doing fine now. :)

Also, Formula 1 race today. Too bad I couldn't watch the whole thing, but it was an excellent race. Hopefully we'll have similar ones on the next races.

Since then, the jokes about him spread widely. :P

I remember when Schumacher got supremely cocky and Barichello passed him on the last corner to steal a famous victory. He wasn't popular, since he didn't follow team orders, but if he had, both Ferraris would likely have faced penalties.

Well, I think there was another case, very similar to this one... I think they finished side to side, but Barrichello was slightly ahead of Schumacher, thus he had the victory. Schumacher stated after the race that his plan was that they finished holding hands. Well, he still won the championship that year, so it didn't really matter. :P

Also, your bets for this year's championship?

Avs-Ducks tonight, go Avs!

5-2 loss :(

Oh well... big game at San Jose tonight!

Also, the Islanders still have a very slight chance to make the playoffs... But really, even if we get there, we should face the Capitals, which I bet it would be a sweep. :(

Really? They are one of my favourite bands, actually. I've known them for so long...

Haggard might say a bad thing or two about them.

Ah, I still think Sonata is awesome. I still hope that they'll play in here one day. :)

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.

You know, considering the poll results in their website, where about 30% voted for the end of the Character Battles (given five options, that is), I think they'll try to change it this time (if there is a next one).

Also, final battle tomorrow! \m/

I was gone to Mexico for Spring Break, but my account still turned 8 years old while I was gone. That's quite a while...

Well, I told Bahamut I was gonna do my LUL catchup RIGHT after I finished my 4-post catchup in Coop's Revolution thread on General (ick... still cleaning the garbage smell out of my clothes and hair, BTW)...

BUT.... I'm a bit burned out as it took a bit over an hour to do that catchup on just ~30 posts in 2 pages.... I'm not sure I have the energy for LUL at this very minute, IOW...

(PLUS, my fave TF2 map, ctf_mach4, is on my #1 TF2 server, and... yeah....)

Congratulations!

Before I come back and catch up later, BTW... I do have one achievement of my own to report, and how appropriate to be following the above poster's post, since it's very similar...

My big 10-post catch-up in here was on Feb 13... and then I didn't post in here again until a week ago when I just dropped by to make a single post...

So.... much like Spiffy before me, my little break from this thread has caused me to miss announcing my NG anniversary (which was just a bit later that same week I caught all up on LUL, saddest of all ;_;) on the very day of it, alas, but... better late than never, yes?

NG's version* of gfoxcook = 10 years old (OLD NEWS, BRO)

2/18, 3/28... eh, big diff. #;-}>

(* - actual gfoxcook online persona = 16 years old as of this summer... jsyk, fyi, &c)

Level 14, and look how long it took me! :O

Ugh. Well, I have all the quotes I want to reply to ready (ALL SIXTY-FUCKING-EIGHT OF THEM o_ooooooooo), but it's 2AM and I don't feel like starting the actual replying tonight, so it'll have to wait till tomorrow.

IN ANY EVENT, looks like the topic has slowed down quite a bit. I made that one-off post in here a few days ago... on page 2572, it seems... and now the "present" is only on page 2573... and on top of that, there's only been a single post in here since my post earlier this evening.

THANK YOU, LUL, FOR SLOWING DOWN A BIT (so I can get back on! #;-}>).

How about them Leafs? Are they going to stop Boston from getting a really good draft pick? Looks likely that they'll only get 4th or 5th place now in the draft lottery.

Well, if you don't use your camera very often, then they should be enough. We only use rechargeable batteries in here, despite them not lasting for too long.

If I really want to, I'll just find some batteries in the battery box and hope I can get some I can use.

Come on, doc! Do it, do it, do it!

CHEERS MATE!!!

Demoman has made me saying that quote more and more.

Haggard might say a bad thing or two about them.

Ah, I still think Sonata is awesome. I still hope that they'll play in here one day. :)

I'd like to see them live too but only if they don't play too much of their latest album. Most of it was forgettable to me.

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.

You know, considering the poll results in their website, where about 30% voted for the end of the Character Battles (given five options, that is), I think they'll try to change it this time (if there is a next one).

Here's hoping but they'll just consider the other 70%. However, maybe they'll say no to joke "characters" from now on.

Awesome! Is it really better than the original one?

It's hard to say since I'm only 6 hours in (yeah, I'm slow) and the remakes have so much more added to them. Original Silver I must have played for a total of 300 hours.

OK, just as long as you WILL get them done tomorrow. If not, you know what will happen.

If you didn't mention that, I would have forgot. On that day, I'll be on my way back home from London.

Fro needs to catch up in the revolution thread tomorrow while saying Congrats To:

Oh, sorry for that! Really, I've seen your name a few times in here, so I thought you were alright with it. Sorry for that, I completely understand you.

It's been said in the past, but I've actually done a decent job of having a lot of the times my name has been said removed. The name change helped a bit as a lot of the old links lead back to Corky52, which is basically empty.

But still, your profile picture is a picture of yours... shouldn't you take it out as well? Who knows who can stumble upon your page...

I can change that when I'm going to get a job. I can't change posts. I still have another year of college before I have to worry about the picture.

About 60 hours later I gave birth to the child. I now feel much better. I'm actually happy that I went through it the natural way. I feel that the bonding is much stronger now. :)

Perhaps I should watch it for the first time on it's anniversary...

Nah, I think I watched it about 6 years ago, but I was so young I simply can't remember what it was about. It'll be a good day to give myself a reminder.

I highly recommend it. Shouldn't be too expensive anymore. I got a nice deal at amazon.

I'll get it when I'm up to playing it. I have enough games lying around that I've yet to play and Steam is far worse.

Steam is a plague! :P
Also, I don't like the idea of games being tied to one account.

Uhh, obviously not. Will I get a lecture from Doc?

Sure, if you watch part II again.

Will I be watching part II again? :P

Well you should.

Bleeding its horror

Creating my structure

Now I shall reign in blood!

*outro rainstorm*

Sounds good. Is this another festival?

Yes. Rock Hard Festival again. Bloodbath will be there and Sonata Arctica as well. Maybe I'll give them another chance. ^^

Good, be sure to do that, although chances are they'll play songs from their new album and that was their weakest yet.

I have yet to wait and see when they will play. If they play Sunday evening chances are I will already be on my way home again.

Really? They are one of my favourite bands, actually. I've known them for so long...

Haggard might say a bad thing or two about them.

I might? I only saw them live once and didn't like them too much.

Well, at least you've seen them live. Was it a music festival or a "standalone" concert?

It was at Wacken Open Air.
Come to think of it, I rarely go to "standalone" concerts anymore. ^^

YAY! Thanks! :)

gfoxcook's decade on NG is pretty sweet, but I don't count anniversary achievements so congrats Haggard! :p

Well, there's not much you have to do to get anniversary achievements, but you still have to be present to celebrate them. ^^

Yes, Henry V is pretty good. Macbeth is my personal favorite and while Julius Caesar was pretty short is still pretty interesting. It really has to do more about Brutus and his debate about what to do with Caesar and should he go along with this plot and the consequences afterwards.

That's insane. Since Scrotum is number 1 on the portal id listing, it should be noted that it would be also the 10 year anniversary of the fully automated Portal.

Hang on, hang on, hang on! "Scythe" doesn't begin with an "S".

I'm sure you've said that before but I'm used to hate. However, I hate Coop even more for having more experience and better deposit rate than me. :P

Yeah and I hate no-one above me for having a better deposit rate than me (no-one has), but technically, there are still, 141 users with more experience than me, so I will continue to hunt them down.

We're still friends, right? :D

Of course. Why wouldn't we be?

Yeah, it's the conspiracy leading up to the death of him. It's not as if Caesar was particularly memorably over-indulgent, but he was murdered, allowing succession to run through. Politics is still quite ruthless :P
