Level 36, the fluffy axe!

Congrats Auz for obtaining Icon mod status, and NEVR for your account reaching 5 years of age.

Of course, congrats to everyone else for their achievements as well. I'm more of a skimmer than someone prone to compile large congratulations for everyone.

It's for this reason I feel if I were ever to become a moderator for Newgrounds, this would be the only area I'd have a shot at being accepted into.
However, despite the fact that I wouldn't lose my wonderful fab aura, I doubt I'll be applying.
But who knows.

Congrats on your 232323 B/P.

Maybe one day you can be a real mod. I think you deserve forum mod status.

Forum mod? Nah I think there are better candidates around. And I don't think they're needing any new forum mods at the moment anyway :p

Hey Congrats. Suzanne nice to see you helping format for the next layout design. So Congrats on that one. Can't for the next layout. The bigger movie/games icons are coming together that reminds me I should get started on some more for my flash. But anyways Congrats

Suzanne? :p You know, you sound a little drunk sometimes when you are posting here (no offense). But thanks and I can't wait for the new lay-out either :)

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.

Well I think Holland's goal has always been winning the cup as well, but we never managed to get close to that after 1978.

And you guys got a great team on paper. I heard a lot of English people wanna see Capello and the players leave, but I don't see who they want to replace the players for.

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...

I can see them winning from us and in the semi-final they would have to face Uruguay or Ghana. Difficult opponents, but probably not as difficult as having Germany or Spain. So I think they can make it to the finals at least, although I am hoping for Holland of course.

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

Portugal? I hope not. I don't like Portugal much to be honest. Mostly because of Christiano Ronaldo, but they got a lot of dirty players as well. I prefer to see Spain win.

I agree with you on Paraguay though. Japan is a good team, but Paraguay seems more solid to me.

No chances to avenge yourself anymore.

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

Lol. Well he is behaving himself quite well in the WC so far, but I wouldn't like to see him win either. If he does I think he will never shut-up about it.

Not only Bahamut replies...

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

Ah of course. Dragons with swords for dicks. They should make a new toy for that :p

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.

I guess they'll leave it open till tomorrow 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. ;)

Oh shit :o

I have only watched a couple of his videos, so I don't know him that well :p In all honesty I enjoy Spoony's videos more though, but that's just my opinion.

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.

Well I think a problem people might be having with Spoony right now is that he's videos are getting longer and longer. They used to take only 10~20 minutes, but nowadays he easily rambles on for 40+ minutes (extreme case: a 3+ hours long Let's play of a board game). It's mostly the enthusiasm from his side though that makes his videos so long, which isn't a bad thing, but he should consider keeping it shorter and splitting up videos.

Anyway I think the first FFX video was nice, but he seemed to be rushing through the game in the second which is too bad. Hopefully the third part will be better.

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.

Yeah I know Spoony also tells his audience often how he likes to make his videos and why he keeps on making new ones. I think that kind of enthusiasm makes their movies a lot more enjoyable to watch. It's quite boring to watch someone who is not that passionate about playing games or watching movies and giving them a good and funny review.

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.

So he often cheats his way through them? That is lame. You could at least finish them for your own fun.

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.

I see. Well at least you guys only got three parties to choose from right? Much better system in my opinion.

Here in Holland we have over 15 parties who all have different interests and that can really get in the way of making a stable government and appointing the right ministers. The biggest right wing party has won the elections recently, which might result in similar problems as you guys have: Poor people getting poorer and rich people getting richer. If they decide to cooperate with the extreme right wing party we will be in even deeper shit.

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.

Yes, and Streetfighter. But there are no dragons in Streetfighter, are there?

I think they are in need of a lot of help at the moment. I heard Bahamut alone already has a spreadsheet containing hundreds of authors that want icons for their submissions.

And I now have 6,000 Posts!

10,000 is still far away, but I am getting there. Slowly.

3,000 Medal Points. Yeah I know, Whoopee.

Question? Since when has this Level Up thread been the World Cup thread?

Seriously, go talk World Cup in the World Cup thread.

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

Level ups are sacred as well, so it's only logical to use the angry face when posting level ups.

Well I'd be lying if I said I didn't at least occasionally sneak in an episode or two, but lately the weather's been outstanding here, save yesterday afternoon.

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

Well I guess until then this will do. It's doing wonders for my proofreading skills. :P

That or you can use the news post as stated before. That's always good for testing if you really need it. I only really use it when I'm trying something new like when I took over the Regulars List.

It doesn't take too much time either way, and I think not having spell check is beneficial for me. But for something as important as a list, that's a pretty nice idea.

I'm glad they're out, to be honest. They don't deserve to win, with a cheating player like Ronaldo playing for them.

I agree with you on Paraguay though. Japan is a good team, but Paraguay seems more solid to me.

So close, so much for Japan's mastery of the Jabilani

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

Lol. Well he is behaving himself quite well in the WC so far, but I wouldn't like to see him win either. If he does I think he will never shut-up about it.

He's the footballing equivalent of Axl Rose - too mouthy. He told Pele to fuck off to the museum. Perhaps he should consider the same thing? After all, he's only remembered for being a cheat in England.

Yeah, the ball got hit to centre field, the birds took flight, one of them got clunked by it. The centre fielder lost the ball and it sailed past him, allowing the D'Backs to win. I'm sure it was Arizona.
