Welcome back!

Not catch ups.

I'm here to say that I'm sad due to Ronnie James Dio death. He and his music will be forever remembered.

And I could have attended his concert last year... DAMMIT. ='(

Now your only chance is to attend a concert...IN HELL!

What have I missed?

Didn't notice this until a little bit ago and thought it was an important milestone. #777 in b/p

Coop marks the passing of Ronnie James Dio, having spent yesterday evening at a gig, while congratulating:

Level 43 or even 44 at this point for perfection.

Yeah he would've been a few levels higher than me at least. I think I missed about 25 deposits since I signed up, so level 44 probably.

I knew it would be somewhere around there. If he wants to know, NGLogs will have the answers.

I'm used to waiting. He might slip up eventually.

The keyword is might. He MIGHT slip up eventually but considering his deposit rate is 100% since 2004, I don't think he will until he gets bored of this site.

Well, that will happen eventually. People change, as do the times.

I'm going to pass at least 2 while I'm out of the country the week after next. I'm due to level up in 9 days, and to enter the top 10,000 exp in 12 days at my current pace. Of course, that assumes exp ranks don't start to dry up like B/P ranks do at around 1400.

Yeah, but we don't count the top 10,000 B/P, as you can get that very easily.

Funny you say you're going away on Thursday because that's when I'm meant to leave as well for Scotland. However, it's very dependable right now on when my parents get back from their holiday. Damn volcano!

You may think that it's pointless for myself to get Blind Guardian's first two albums when I already have them but this is under a different sound production and includes demo tracks from when they were called Lucifer's Heritage. I'll be keeping the older releases because they'll only be rare nowadays.

I downloaded Lucifer's Heritage songs some time ago. It's amazing how some of the songs don't sound too different from the later versions. Shows that they had good song writing skills even back then. :)

To me, Lucifer's Heritage sounded more NWOBHM than power/speed but still some interesting stuff. It just shows a band can go a long way.

You forgot to say "Let the Hammer Fall" and instead used the angry face expression ONCE AGAIN!

I wanted to use the "Stop! Hammer time!"-meme (it's so much better to use it at level 41 than at level 14), but I forgot it.

Also I keep using that angry face as long as I want. :P
