Fair enough, there can be Wadolf and Bahamut. Newgrounds shall be a better place.

Wadolf summoning his Zombies and Bahamut finishing off the remains with a Mega Flare. Scary thought.

I hate when I act stupidly or immaturely.

I had the catch ups almost ready to be posted in here, with the congrats list and everything. But I, being stupid, somehow forgot to paste a huge part of the posts in the rtf file I had them. So I saved what I had there without realizing they weren't there.

Frustration hits me when I opened the file and little was in there. And, being immature, I deleted whatever was in there.

Well... fuck.
______________

In other news, I'm on vacations for this and the next three weeks. And I bought two new albums, Iron Maiden's Powerslave (since Coop and gfox recommended it to everyone) and Dream Theater's Greatest Hit. Although the 2nd disc has a problem that makes the audio goes shit, so I can only listen to the 1st CD. FUCK.

Listening to:
Dream Theater - Greatest Hit (1st disc)

Congrats to:
Everyone who achieved something over the past days. Sorry, I don't have the motivation to do a congrats list again.

That's a nice idea. #1 jersey, starting goalie and catching a penalty in the final seconds of the match.

You can kind of get a way with that in the Wi/Ht? i.e. 'post in the Flash Forum', but any other forums I wouldn't. Some of the mods get bend out of shape when they think they are being usurped.

Well, you can use your hands in football when you're not a goalie, but you have to face the consequences after - in that case, a penalty shot. The Ghana player wasn't competent enough to score it, so...

Yeah, but look at it this way - the Uruguayans carried the offender around the pitch like a national hero, after the match. Doesn't this condone cheating from FIFA's standpoint? Poor decisions on their part, I'm afraid and we're looking at a pretty bad World Cup for them.

Well, I'm afraid they paid for their sin against Holland. :P

But really, I don't see it as cheating, because there's a punishment to it - cheating, in my opinion, is when you get away with it (hence Henry). I'd have done the same in a desperate situation. I'd rather get a red card and have a chance than do nothing at all and lose the match.

Ha, much better! And a bonus for safety cars wrecked, as well as mad team-mates. :P

Explosives! Rampant Koala Bears in Australia! Is it silly enough yet?

Shocked narrators with an "eh?" balloon text in Canada!

Bouncing over Barrichello multiple times!

Could be a very smart move for them - Kovy and Tavares, with Okposo on the other wing? Should be fun if that happens.

That would be great, yet unlikely to happen. He's probably going to LA, it seems...

LA's out of the talks. My money is firmly back with the Devils.

...And LA is back in the talks. I haven't heard anything on the Islanders' or on the Devil's side, though.

I'd say no one will sign him. Take that for refusing $10mi a year from Atlanta earlier this year. >:(

But we have to re-sign Sean Bergenhein. He's a pretty good left winger, I think he was our blue-liner last season...

Not a bad player, but we'll see if he's got some teammates that could cope with Philly's pretty solid looking D for next year...

Him and Matt Moulson. I think Matt was our scoring leader this past season, another UFA.

We won't have left wingers for the next season. :(

Yes because no-one likes the Scout.

I actually played Scout a couple of days ago, and I failed miserably, since my computer is running TF2 slower and slower everyday. :(

I can't play classes that require immediate reflex, like a sniper Sniper, the Scout and the Spy (sometimes). And it affects the other classes as well. I mean, a Heavy dying for a Scout when I was with full health? Saddening.

No problem. Beach > BBS :P

I have to disagree with that, I'm afraid.

Nah, beaches are great. And computers and beaches don't get along, unfortunately.

Yeah Ronaldo played like shit. He's way too selfish and doesn't do jack when Portugal is not playing well.

You know, I think he only played decently when he was in Manchester United. He isn't that much of a player, in my opinion. He just has a prettier face than the majority.

No I wouldn't blame a particular player, although Melo wasn't playing the best match in his career ;)

Exactly. Thinking over this again, he played really well, actually.

Against Brazil. >:(

Maybe you guys were just playing too defensively. I mean after the 1-0 is was mainly Holland that had ball possession and created opportunities. I think the thing where Brazil went wrong and Holland didn't was that after the goal they didn't press on to score a next. They were stronger in the beginning and if they had only made one or two more goals it would've been over for us.

This is what my mother said while we were watching the game - "We need a 2-0 before half time, then things will get more controlled." But we didn't put more pressure after the goal, much on the contrary, we fell back! Hey, it's a quarter-finals match, it's do or die! Don't hold back! :(

And now there is the coach issue. Dunga was "fired', along with all the coaching department. Who will take this pineapple?

Our commentator was saying something about Brazilians throwing TVs out of their windows.

I wouldn't doubt that, hahahaha. Hey, I've heard a few bangs coming from our neighbours, I wouldn't be surprised if I found a TV in my yard. :P

Haha :p

At least our TV is safe. We wouldn't throw a HD TV in a loss, would we? :P

You guys aren't used to losing are you? I heard this was only the 15th loss for the Brazilian team XD

Not really. With five world cups, some think that it's our obligation to win every cup. We have to try to win, of course. But some have to realise - you can't win everything.

And maybe it was our 15th loss in a world cup. We had only 6 losses with Dunga as our coach. And that 6th one came at the worst time possible. :(

I'm just a casual viewer for movies. I just want to talk more about metal albums since I have so many albums and so much to talk about.

Fair enough. Actually it's quite coincidence because someone I know keeps negatively reviewing Sister Sin (which apparently is a metal group; I don't listen to any metal at all), and lately he's been criticizing someone who thinks otherwise. I have absolutely no knowledge on the matter.

The thing is I'm a pretty poor swimmer. I can't even fathom doing what you do. Besides, I'm a cross country runner, so actually running is the most practical thing I can do. Thankfully I usually don't have to run more than two miles competitively so the extra running will really pay off.

Cross country use to run laps around us during football practice. The big difference was we were running the same distance with small break, but it can get up to 130 degrees inside of shoulder pads. There you guys were with short shorts and tank tops. *reminds me of track season*

Same distance? I don't see why a football player would need to run several miles. But yeah, it's a good thing we have our little sexy uniforms to run in. The body can heat up pretty fast.

I'm sure he would have done really well. I can't think of any other coach in history that single handedly managed to bring a second division club among the top teams of Europe.

Maybe you guys were just playing too defensively. I mean after the 1-0 is was mainly Holland that had ball possession and created opportunities. I think the thing where Brazil went wrong and Holland didn't was that after the goal they didn't press on to score a next.

Yep, I guess they were going for the "make a quick 1-0 and keep defending" strategy. Doesn't work against Holland, you gotta prevent them from getting in control instead. I think Spain might be able to do that, but Holland might be able to do the same to Spain.

The final is probably gonna be interesting. Might come down to which team is more efficient, and so far that team has been Holland.

And now there is the coach issue. Dunga was "fired', along with all the coaching department. Who will take this pineapple?

Yeah it's always hard to bring a team back to the top when they performed like that. Just look at France. Although quarter-finals is still not bad though ;) Sure it's less than Brazil had hoped for, but most countries are satisfied if they end up there.

Haha :p

At least our TV is safe. We wouldn't throw a HD TV in a loss, would we? :P

That would be a waste.

You guys aren't used to losing are you? I heard this was only the 15th loss for the Brazilian team XD

Not really. With five world cups, some think that it's our obligation to win every cup. We have to try to win, of course. But some have to realise - you can't win everything.

And maybe it was our 15th loss in a world cup. We had only 6 losses with Dunga as our coach. And that 6th one came at the worst time possible. :(

Yes it was probably WC losses. Now that I think about it... maybe it's not that impressive since Italy and Germany must have only a few losses more so far =/

*checks*

Yep, Italy has 15 losses too and Germany is at 20.

Well, I wouldn't have said they were that bad in the first place - the face that they've fallen apart now can only be traced as far as teams like Leeds United. They dropped down a massive amount and are only just starting to come back.

Yeah I guess that shows what an influence that guy had. It's still strange though how a club can climb all the way to the top of Europe and then fall back to the 2nd division again. You would say that they would then have the money to keep a good team and attract more good players.

Well as it turns out it is indeed awesome news. And yeah, having to choose between 2 games like that is awful lol.

Well, it might be a little easier. I'm having doubts on whether being a Spy to counter the Engineer rush will do much right now. I've already got all except one item so I'm happy enough.

Never going to either.

It'd be an epic death for sure but we can't let that happen to you.

We Wi/Ht?'ers have every right to nominate for whoever so no-one can accuse us of anything, unless alts were used.

Yes you are right there. And I suppose it is quite logical that Wi/Ht? regulars tend to vote a lot for Wi/Ht? regulars. I mean, we know each other a lot better than we know general users.

Exactly! We're a smaller community but stronger at the same time. We know each other very well while there's loads of General regulars and only a few of them are recognisable and most of them happen to be Stickam regulars. :P

Yeah, and as a result, I only really used Meltdown and Aura but they were really good for the Junction system.

Yeah Meltdown was the best spell for Vitality, I believe it even surpassed Ultima on that stat. Aura was very good for almost anything.

I can't remember what was good for what but I knew they were very helpful for a boost in stats.

You know, I hardly drew magic from battles which is why I never had an issue with drawing but I didn't like how you had to wait a long time for some draw points to recharge.

I suppose you simply kept it at refining items and using draw points then?

Yeah, those were my methods of getting magic from the game.

Doing it that way was a lot more effective indeed, but you often needed some luck before the enemies dropped the items you wanted.

I just kept fighting and fighting. As a result, I was at level 100 by the time I got to Ultimecia's Castle.

It must happen! He went to E3 and now it's time for him to go to Japan and witness his horror.

Yes I am certain it's going to be hilarious if he did. He should go to a game convention with loads of crazy Japanese shit. I bet he'll go berserk :p

I can't wait for it to happen but someone needs to think of a way to get him there. I bet if someone said to Spoony "Congratulations! You have won tickets to this gaming convention in Japan.", he would refuse.

I actually played Scout a couple of days ago, and I failed miserably, since my computer is running TF2 slower and slower everyday. :(

I blame the updates. I know more and more stuff get added to the game but surely there's a way to give it better performance for older computers.

As for being a Scout, I mostly play as him in 2fort if I have a good shot at capturing the intelligence.

Nah, beaches are great. And computers and beaches don't get along, unfortunately.

I looked up Sister Sin on MA but only see one review. I've never even heard of Sister Sin so I don't know whether they're bad or not. As for that person who keeps criticising others for different opinions, shame on them. From the few reviews I've made, it doesn't bother me if someone likes the album more or less than I do.

It's not a bad idea considering that he is from India (or at least his email domain is) and the dollar he earns is much stronger than the Indian Rupee. So technically, he is making a killing. Whether game creator should just submit generic games for the sake of revenue each day is a pointy one. I so believe a game maker should profit from their works, but not take advantage of it like Game2dress and Game2rule does.

I think most of the time they don't actually make these games, but instead buy them through sponsorship or buy them right out for about 100 dollars a piece. Then they go and make 10 times that through ad profits throughout a year.

Have you ever seen A Clockwork Orange? Imagine something like that, but with Holland - Brazil over and over and over again ;)

Heh, unfortunately not yet. But I've seen that scene a few times already... and NO, I cannot stand watching Felipe Melo stomping Sneijder again! :(

You know, I think he only played decently when he was in Manchester United. He isn't that much of a player, in my opinion. He just has a prettier face than the majority.

I mean, look at this guy! How can he become a superstar? :P

Yeah I think his popularity among women is mostly what helped him become a superstar. At Man Utd he was okay, but still a whiner. I think the only time I liked him was when he still played at Sporting Lisbon and was just about to make his major breakthrough.

I only kept up with him when he was already in Manchester Utd. so I don't know much about his carer on Portugal. He must have been a really great player back then, though, since he was hired by one of the most important football clubs.

At 7/3/10 06:49 AM, Auz wrote:

No I wouldn't blame a particular player, although Melo wasn't playing the best match in his career ;)

Exactly. Thinking over this again, he played really well, actually.

Against Brazil. >:(

Lol :p Yeah one own goal and one red card... I bet he didn't sleep well that night.

Yeah, he might have been thinking - "Man, what am I going to say when I get home?"

PS: He wasn't really well received in his arrival here. Talk about a bunch of bodyguards around him + people willing to throw things at him. :P

This is what my mother said while we were watching the game - "We need a 2-0 before half time, then things will get more controlled." But we didn't put more pressure after the goal, much on the contrary, we fell back! Hey, it's a quarter-finals match, it's do or die! Don't hold back! :(

Yep, I guess they were going for the "make a quick 1-0 and keep defending" strategy. Doesn't work against Holland, you gotta prevent them from getting in control instead. I think Spain might be able to do that, but Holland might be able to do the same to Spain.

Yeah, that's an issue. You can play defensively against an offensive powerhouse that is Holland, Germany, Spain etc... You have to attack more and more, expose their defences to risks. It's how you usually win a match - attacking.

The final is probably gonna be interesting. Might come down to which team is more efficient, and so far that team has been Holland.

I hope so. I really don't want Spain to win this one.

They have the octopus on their side, though. =(

And now there is the coach issue. Dunga was "fired', along with all the coaching department. Who will take this pineapple?

Yeah it's always hard to bring a team back to the top when they performed like that. Just look at France. Although quarter-finals is still not bad though ;) Sure it's less than Brazil had hoped for, but most countries are satisfied if they end up there.

Sure, but it's that "we have to win everything" spirit. Also, he was really contested for not bringing Ronaldinho and some other younger players that could've made a difference.

But it's that same old story: if they win, they're heroes. If they lose, they're villains. No one would be saying anything if we hadn't lost that match.

Haha :p

At least our TV is safe. We wouldn't throw a HD TV in a loss, would we? :P

That would be a waste.

And hey, due to that TV, my dad is thinking of buying a PS3, since it's also a Blu-Ray player. Isn't that great? ^^

And maybe it was our 15th loss in a world cup. We had only 6 losses with Dunga as our coach. And that 6th one came at the worst time possible. :(

Yes it was probably WC losses. Now that I think about it... maybe it's not that impressive since Italy and Germany must have only a few losses more so far =/

Yep, Italy has 15 losses too and Germany is at 20.

Remembering that we have 15 losses, but we are the only country that has been to all the world cups. :)

Yeah I guess that shows what an influence that guy had. It's still strange though how a club can climb all the way to the top of Europe and then fall back to the 2nd division again. You would say that they would then have the money to keep a good team and attract more good players.

We have a few similar cases here as well. The are two clubs that I remember that won the national title in the 80s with a pretty great squad, but are on the 3rd division now. I guess time really makes a difference in sports...

Well, it might be a little easier. I'm having doubts on whether being a Spy to counter the Engineer rush will do much right now. I've already got all except one item so I'm happy enough. If the Engineer rush turns out to be hectic, I can easily focus on Monkey Island 2 or any games I might get for my birthday.

Well, I've seen team with up to 8 engies at a certain point. Talk about impenetrable defences and a happy Spy. ^^

I blame the updates. I know more and more stuff get added to the game but surely there's a way to give it better performance for older computers.

I'd love to see a "low-resolution / high-resolution" setting in those games. I wouldn't mind the graphics that much, I just want a steady performance! :(

As for being a Scout, I mostly play as him in 2fort if I have a good shot at capturing the intelligence.

Me too. I'd rather play Scout on emptier servers as well, like in a 2x2 battle. Imagine loads of bats and "NEED A DISPENSER HERE" shouts. :P

Nah, beaches are great. And computers and beaches don't get along, unfortunately.

I guess it's just how I was raised - I go to the beach every summer for 16 years, and I can stay there for hours straight without getting bored. :)

I don't understand you humans. :P

Hey, we humans just like beaches, that's nothing abnormal. =P

And hey, not everything is perfect about beaches. I've been burnt badly by a jellyfish once, aside from various minor burns. It's a pretty awful feeling, it feels like touching something really hot, but not being able to cool it down.

And you cant scratch it either, since it'll only spread the burning venom more and more. I did that once, never to be done again. =(

It's not that bad. I just have to check every user who gets a number of logs that equal the amount of days since the last update plus or minus one. Most of them miss a log.

Right then. How long does it take to make the entire list, anyway?

I'm usually busy during lunch so I wouldn't have time. It's easy at night because all I do is watch TV and play online games.

Since I'm on vacation now and I don't do much the entire day, I'll just do it whenever I'm available.

That'll be me in about two weeks. I'm heading off to Puerto Rico and I don't want to think about the internet much while I'm there.

Well, will you have internet connection there, at least? Try to deposit, at least. You might regret it later. =P

Clock Day 2008 was awful for ratio - No Blams; ~950 Saves

Once I get home, a better picture of the tie-clad Coop will appear, I promise.

Guys, I will be going on a trip to Londen tomorrow and will be back on Sunday next week. I might have internet at the place I'm staying, but I have no idea if it's reliable or not. So I might hop around every now and again, but don't expect any massive catch-ups or congrats list from me in the upcoming week.

Also don't bother contacting me about any forum/icon issues (unless it can wait).

There is a thin line between furries and bestiality in my opinion.

I know a few furries who are against bestiality. Then again, it's hard to say about the rest of them...

I don't suppose most of them are really practicing bestiality in real life, but maybe they're thinking about it.

I never tried it myself XD

Never going to either.

It'd be an epic death for sure but we can't let that happen to you.

No it would be the lamest death I've ever had.

Yes you are right there. And I suppose it is quite logical that Wi/Ht? regulars tend to vote a lot for Wi/Ht? regulars. I mean, we know each other a lot better than we know general users.

Exactly! We're a smaller community but stronger at the same time. We know each other very well while there's loads of General regulars and only a few of them are recognisable and most of them happen to be Stickam regulars. :P

Haha well I heard the number of true Stickam regulars that won awards this year is actually pretty low. About as much as the number of Wi/Ht?-ers Gagsy said (although I'm not sure if Gagsy can be trusted).

I suppose you simply kept it at refining items and using draw points then?

Yeah, those were my methods of getting magic from the game.

Like I said it were the most time efficient methods. You could also refine cards for it, but that method was even lamer and more time consuming than drawing (unless you went to someone with very good cards).

Doing it that way was a lot more effective indeed, but you often needed some luck before the enemies dropped the items you wanted.

I just kept fighting and fighting. As a result, I was at level 100 by the time I got to Ultimecia's Castle.

I gotta say that I did like the level up system a lot. In other FF's the game often stalled when you got to a boss fight (or the final boss) because your level wasn't high enough to beat him. In FF8 you could just keep on going in the game.

Yes I am certain it's going to be hilarious if he did. He should go to a game convention with loads of crazy Japanese shit. I bet he'll go berserk :p

I can't wait for it to happen but someone needs to think of a way to get him there. I bet if someone said to Spoony "Congratulations! You have won tickets to this gaming convention in Japan.", he would refuse.

Yeah someone needs to convince him how good this idea is. Maybe he would want to go for the sake of 'having seen more of the world' and maybe he will agree that it could make some awesome videos.

Heh, unfortunately not yet. But I've seen that scene a few times already... and NO, I cannot stand watching Felipe Melo stomping Sneijder again! :(

Sneijder? It was Robben wasn't it? :p

And you should watch A Clockwork Orange, it's awesome.

Yeah I think his popularity among women is mostly what helped him become a superstar. At Man Utd he was okay, but still a whiner. I think the only time I liked him was when he still played at Sporting Lisbon and was just about to make his major breakthrough.

I only kept up with him when he was already in Manchester Utd. so I don't know much about his carer on Portugal. He must have been a really great player back then, though, since he was hired by one of the most important football clubs.

Well I only know him from when he was still at Sporting Lisbon and played for the Portuguese team. I was like: "hey this guy is pretty amazing". I think back then he didn't overuse those little tricks so much, and he wasn't a complete prick yet.

Lol :p Yeah one own goal and one red card... I bet he didn't sleep well that night.

Yeah, he might have been thinking - "Man, what am I going to say when I get home?"

PS: He wasn't really well received in his arrival here. Talk about a bunch of bodyguards around him + people willing to throw things at him. :P

Ai. That's a little much. I mean any player can play a bad game sometimes. It's just unfortunate for him that it was for such an important match.

Yep, I guess they were going for the "make a quick 1-0 and keep defending" strategy. Doesn't work against Holland, you gotta prevent them from getting in control instead. I think Spain might be able to do that, but Holland might be able to do the same to Spain.

Yeah, that's an issue. You can play defensively against an offensive powerhouse that is Holland, Germany, Spain etc... You have to attack more and more, expose their defences to risks. It's how you usually win a match - attacking.

True. It will probably work if you lure them out and go for the counter, but you shouldn't be afraid to take a risk yourself. I mean there is not much use in going into a counter with only one or two people participating.

The final is probably gonna be interesting. Might come down to which team is more efficient, and so far that team has been Holland.

I hope so. I really don't want Spain to win this one.

They have the octopus on their side, though. =(

Me neither. I've already said it several times, they just don't deserve it in my opinion. They played a very average tournament with minimal victories and they even lost to Switzerland.

And yeah that fucking octopus >=|

Yeah it's always hard to bring a team back to the top when they performed like that. Just look at France. Although quarter-finals is still not bad though ;) Sure it's less than Brazil had hoped for, but most countries are satisfied if they end up there.

Sure, but it's that "we have to win everything" spirit. Also, he was really contested for not bringing Ronaldinho and some other younger players that could've made a difference.

But it's that same old story: if they win, they're heroes. If they lose, they're villains. No one would be saying anything if we hadn't lost that match.

Yeah if Dunga won he would be a genius, if Dunga lost he would be a retard. Looking at the whole picture he didn't do that badly, but it might have been a good idea to bring Ronaldinho and Pato along. If it was only to shut-up the media back home.

That would be a waste.

And hey, due to that TV, my dad is thinking of buying a PS3, since it's also a Blu-Ray player. Isn't that great? ^^

Ha yeah. My dad had the same idea once, because a PS3 is cheaper apparently. But he bought a Blu-Ray/Stereo/Hi-Fi/DVD/Tape player type thingie instead.

I'm just sticking to DVD's though, Blu-Ray's are still too expensive in my opinion.

Yes it was probably WC losses. Now that I think about it... maybe it's not that impressive since Italy and Germany must have only a few losses more so far =/

*checks*

Yep, Italy has 15 losses too and Germany is at 20.

Remembering that we have 15 losses, but we are the only country that has been to all the world cups. :)

That is still impressive.

You might even say: "What a week!"

...And hopefully the rest of the month as well. ^^

Maybe my trip to Londen can bring me much awesomeness.
