Also true, but I'm watching enough South Park and Doctor Who online as it is. Besides it's so much more enjoyable to watch it with other people.

True but I couldn't wait any longer to watch the new Futurama episodes.

Sometimes waiting makes watching them all the sweeter.

Indeed, the NG BBS has a very neat layout. It helps when there's no emoticons or custom colours here with the exception of admin text.

My only complaint is that there's no way to preview your post before posting. Apparently you could before my day. And yes, the classic :P beats an actual face any time. :P

Yeah, that would be a nice feature to have. I think they rejected the idea before, even though it would be very useful for those who want to make sure the HTML works fine. Oh well, at least we can edit our news posts if needed as well as using them for testing HTML.

Thank God for that. I don't think I've ever gotten a news post correct after first posting it. I do wonder why a preview button would be rejected, though. Is it a nuisance somehow?

The ride was at about half 6 in the morning. I got up early to take her and her brothers, plus a girlfriend of one to Worcester. Then I went home, checked the portal and then back to bed :P I don't do heights. Early mornings I can cope with, but I wouldn't fly in a hot air balloon if you paid me.

Yeah, Kovalchuck might end up in the free agency. Considering he wants a few millions on his contract... I call it a bust on NJ's part.

I think they went for broke, thinking that offence and Marty's defence could win them a cup. Marty faded badly and Ilya was a shadow, not yet used to the spotlight on the big stage. That's why Byfuglien (had to copy that from NHL.com :P) will adapt well to Atlanta, if he can step up to be a star with Bergfors. Now all they need is a good centre and you've got a nice first line there.

Hmm... I don't know much about the rest of Atlanta's team, though. Sure, they might have a pretty good blue line, but what about the others? I hope they do better than this last season, at least. Try putting up a fight with the Capitals in the Southeast division, for starters. :P

And Byfuglien isn't that hard to type. But saying it is something else... :P

Also, your views on Nabokov (almost) leaving San Jose...?

He's a good regular season keeper, but playoffs = suckage.

Also, Hall looks so... ugly! I mean, look at his smile with the Oilers shirt! :P

It's like the 1980s all over again.

Hmm, what do you mean...?

Smiles in Oilers jerseys. Gretzky; Messier & all.

And Coop, where do you watch Hockey or any other sports? Do they air it on the local TV stations or you have to use internet steams?

Hockey via ESPN America very occasionally - it's usually live when I'm in bed. Baseball, I have a subscription to mlb.tv, allowing me to watch live streams of the Yankees and Steven Strasburg starts :P

Everybody in my house was very upset when Argentina scored his 1st goal, everybody was saying that it wasn't a goal but the stupid referee didn't do anything. It counted it as a goal :P
Oh well, I was seeing this to happen.

I'll be on Haggards side in this battle ;)

About halfway between the two of us, but less reason to hate Germany :P Have you guys got nose bleeds yet from doing so well at the finals?

Nose bleeds? :p

From getting so high (far) in the finals. We all know that the Netherlands suck in International competitions, save for their two appearances in the final in the 70s. Failed to qualify seven times, didn't make it past the group stages twice and fell at the second round twice. That's in 16 attempts. You have quite a weight of expectation on the team and you would expect them to do better, with the calibre of players that have worn orange.

You're right there. Holland always has a great team on paper, but seldom does well. To be honest, I think the same goes for England. Beside their win 1966 they have never gotten anywhere further than the fourth place in 1990 and their EC record isn't that impressive either (mostly not qualifying or being eliminated in the group stage).

No the real cupfighters are Italy, Argentina, Germany and Brazil.

I don't know, I guess I just like to see the English go down. Maybe because your media and the English supporters always make such a big drama out of it ;)

I'd like to see us win - that's part of the fun of being patriotic through sport.

Yeah obviously, I like to see Holland win too but I'm not as patriotic over it as most people are. The English appear to be the worst though, judging from the WC topic in the general forum.

Also, I want a chance for us to avenge ourselves for 1986 against Maradona. But, then again, I'd also like to see the Mexicans roll the Argies over - they've been the most positive team so far this year.

No chances to avenge yourself anymore.

It was one of the most enjoyable games of the tourney so far in my opinion. Too bad about that referee fucking up. The game might have been much more interesting if it became 2-2, but Germany deserved the win nonetheless. At least in my opinion.

Yeah it's been quiet there for a while now. Haven't checked the votes for a while either, so no idea if I won (with the current standings). I'll just keep it a surprise.

Isn't American breakfast like British breakfast except greasier? =/

Pancakes with maple syrup for breakfast is awesome though, although I'm not sure if that's typically American.

I always related it to America and not once have I seen it being considered as a breakfast over here.

Hmm maple syrup comes mostly from Quebec apparently, so yeah typically American.

Wtf? I don't even see the point in reviewing cereal. And not liking food because of its shape is not even a legitimate reason... =/

Indeed, his breakfast rants was just a horrible take on James Rolfe's You Know What's Bullshit videos.

Never heard of him.

I don't know that many internet personalities I guess. I know the Angry Video Game Nerd and The Spoony One (and some of his friends), but that's about it.

Oh yes I read that rant some time ago. I just searched for his Tekken 6 review, but I mostly get people bashing his review XD

Yep, enough people were able to see through his bullshit.

I guess so. Strange how so many people are following him or are still watching his reviews. I mean even without the bullshit, he doesn't seem like such an exciting guy =/

So I guess you were right, he hardly plays the games he reviews which is indeed terrible.

And that's why the majority of gamers HATE him!

Rightfully so. I don't get why he does it that way. I mean, I assume he will play those games to the end eventually, so why not wait until then before you review something? Or otherwise you could at least say you're giving a few early thoughts and come back to them later, instead of passing those early thoughts off as a review.

Don't think I'd rather be an American, but it would be sweet if the office was somewhere in Europe :)

I wouldn't mind America. It's probably in a better state than the UK right now.

Yes I've been hearing bad things about the UK lately, but I believe every country is claiming that they are going to shit at the moment. We got a lot of whiners in Holland as well right now, and unfortunately people like Geert Wilders (extreme right wing) are taking advantage of the situation.

There was an Amsterdam meet in 2009 by the way, but I haven't heard much about it.

Yeah, maybe you need to lurk more in the General forum. Well, there's the meet ups wiki that should tell you the upcoming meets so that's another page to keep an eye on.

I've been around more in the general lately, but wasn't around much yet in 2009 I guess. Also I tend to ignore huge general forum topics for some reason.

But yeah that would be far fetched. I wouldn't know what else though.

Maybe it's because I'm a dragon. :P

I never heard anything from the NG staff that would imply they are dragon fans, but maybe they are :)

I'll Say England and Mexico. Can't write the Germans off, but patriotism hides a multitude of sins.

I wasn't going for anyone in England vs. Germany, although I'm a little happy that Germany won, since part of my family is German and such. Even with that stolen goal by Lampard.

Right, today, it'll be Brazil & the Netherlands advancing :D

My thoughts exactly. :P But I've been saying that since the matches were set...

Also, your views on Nabokov (almost) leaving San Jose...?

He's a good regular season keeper, but playoffs = suckage.

Right... I would give him another chance, though. Hey, at least they didn't blow it on the first round. :P

It's like the 1980s all over again.

Hmm, what do you mean...?

Smiles in Oilers jerseys. Gretzky; Messier & all.

Ah, right. But he won't be another Gretzkyish player...

And Coop, where do you watch Hockey or any other sports? Do they air it on the local TV stations or you have to use internet steams?

Hockey via ESPN America very occasionally - it's usually live when I'm in bed.

Ah, right... It's because our two ESPNs never air Hockey - only the IIHF and the Olympics. So I have to keep up with the NHL season via Internet streams. Illegal, but it's the only way out...

Baseball, I have a subscription to mlb.tv, allowing me to watch live streams of the Yankees and Steven Strasburg starts :P

Oddly, they air Baseball almost every night in here. :)

And is it... expensive?

I graduated but unfortunately, most people of my class will not get the high school's certificate because they failed Calculus (Differential & Integral). They must pass a test in the next week if they want to get that certificate.

Really? Heh, my brother was learning this, although he is already in his Civil Engineering course...

I don't know how most of my classmates that chose engineering will survive, if they're pretty bad at math :/

Hahahahaha, right. My brother is pretty familiar with maths, so he is doing well in it. I like math as well, although I tend to do badly on some topics, like trigonometry. =/

And talking about the FIFA championship, I hope that Mexico wins today since we're going against Argentina. I don't know what will happen :/

Blame the referees.

Everybody in my house was very upset when Argentina scored his 1st goal, everybody was saying that it wasn't a goal but the stupid referee didn't do anything. It counted it as a goal :P
Oh well, I was seeing this to happen.

And if Tevez didn't put his head on the ball, there would be a defence man to clear the ball. Meh, damn referees screwing up...

I should have but I didn't. Then again, these guys are taking care of them.

But they can! You saw them kicking ass, right?

Sure. But there are SOOO MANY OF THEM! =O

You're right about that but sometimes waiting is far too hard.

It's much easier when you're occupied with several other shows that no longer air.

Yeah, that would be a nice feature to have. I think they rejected the idea before, even though it would be very useful for those who want to make sure the HTML works fine. Oh well, at least we can edit our news posts if needed as well as using them for testing HTML.

Thank God for that. I don't think I've ever gotten a news post correct after first posting it. I do wonder why a preview button would be rejected, though. Is it a nuisance somehow?

That's up to the admins for decide so we'll leave it to them.

Heh, everybody wasn't very sure about who would win in the match. But I have to say that Mexico played awful this time. I guess the fact that Arg scored the 1st goal made feel the green team very worried, I don't know :/

They were robbed - Carlos Tevez was offside and while the refs were pretty hot with offside decisions, there are certainly areas where TV could be used to establish that after the ball has gone out of play. Stop the clock, check, tell the ref and move on.

I'll be on Haggards side in this battle ;)

About halfway between the two of us, but less reason to hate Germany :P Have you guys got nose bleeds yet from doing so well at the finals?

Nose bleeds? :p

From getting so high (far) in the finals. We all know that the Netherlands suck in International competitions, save for their two appearances in the final in the 70s. Failed to qualify seven times, didn't make it past the group stages twice and fell at the second round twice. That's in 16 attempts. You have quite a weight of expectation on the team and you would expect them to do better, with the calibre of players that have worn orange.

You're right there. Holland always has a great team on paper, but seldom does well. To be honest, I think the same goes for England. Beside their win 1966 they have never gotten anywhere further than the fourth place in 1990 and their EC record isn't that impressive either (mostly not qualifying or being eliminated in the group stage).

I can see where you're coming from, but when we've won it, we still want to win it again. Perhaps we'll send a team of pub players next time and actually progress.

No the real cupfighters are Italy, Argentina, Germany and Brazil.

Well, that only really leaves Argentina and Germany - Brazil aren't as strong as they used to be, though they have got the Dutch next...

Today's games, I'll be going for Paraguay and Portugal.

Also, I want a chance for us to avenge ourselves for 1986 against Maradona. But, then again, I'd also like to see the Mexicans roll the Argies over - they've been the most positive team so far this year.

No chances to avenge yourself anymore.

They haven't won yet - I don't want to see Maradona win as coach.

It was one of the most enjoyable games of the tourney so far in my opinion. Too bad about that referee fucking up. The game might have been much more interesting if it became 2-2, but Germany deserved the win nonetheless. At least in my opinion.

Still, can't complain - I'll go back to celebrating the cricket.

I'm insanely afraid of heights as well, but a hot air balloon ride? I would love to do that; it's something that not everyone gets a chance to do. And it's not like you are able to fall over the side that easily, unless you are bungee jumping from one.

Oliver Kahn said after the match: "Maybe I should've put my sport bag into the goal. It might have saved a shot or two." ^^

The way we played on Sunday, had we got another shot on goal that beat the keeper, a bird would likely have flown past and kept the ball out :P

No but they could if they want. Also, don't forget dragons with swords for dicks.

And now it's the waiting game. They said the voting thread will close on Wednesday but I get the feeling it'll be a day or two earlier.

Yeah it's been quiet there for a while now. Haven't checked the votes for a while either, so no idea if I won (with the current standings). I'll just keep it a surprise.

Wednesday at midnight, they said? Not much longer now.

Indeed, his breakfast rants was just a horrible take on James Rolfe's You Know What's Bullshit videos.

Never heard of him.

James Rolfe IS the Angry Video Game Nerd. ;)

I don't know that many internet personalities I guess. I know the Angry Video Game Nerd and The Spoony One (and some of his friends), but that's about it.

I know several game reviewers but things seem to be dying out and it's come to the point where the only game reviewer I'm watching these days is AVGN and hopefully Spoony if I can get back into his videos. Trying his FFX reviews was a horrible idea. I'll give his other reviews a watch but icon modding duties are a higher priority.

Yep, enough people were able to see through his bullshit.

I guess so. Strange how so many people are following him or are still watching his reviews. I mean even without the bullshit, he doesn't seem like such an exciting guy =/

It's clear as day he's not very passionate about making films. Not once have we heard about his past and how he was inspired to making films. We've heard so much of that from James Rolfe that we can easily tell Chris Bores is a phony.

And that's why the majority of gamers HATE him!

Rightfully so. I don't get why he does it that way. I mean, I assume he will play those games to the end eventually, so why not wait until then before you review something?

Finish those games? Haha! Most of the time he relies on a game genie to beat the games and he only has so many games to try and convince people that he's an expert in gamer, which he isn't.

I wouldn't mind America. It's probably in a better state than the UK right now.

Yes I've been hearing bad things about the UK lately, but I believe every country is claiming that they are going to shit at the moment.

We've got a huge problem known as the Conservatives. They plan to raise the VAT to 20% as well as cutting down on benefits. This means the poor people are going to be fucked in the ass and I wouldn't be surprised if they made it easier on the rich people. However, I couldn't really trust Labour party this time around, especially when they've failed to deliver their promises several times. The worst one being their promise to get young adults to get jobs much easier. If that's the case, WHERE'S MY FUCKING JOB?! As for Liberal Democrats, the party leader sold out.

Maybe it's because I'm a dragon. :P

I never heard anything from the NG staff that would imply they are dragon fans, but maybe they are :)

They seem to be more interested in robots. I mean, they're all fans of Transformers and they even made a robot day. Dragons on the other hand, they have nothing but hopefully they see dragons as awesome as robots.
