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. 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.

Sweet, any idea of what games you might be getting?

Not really hilarious, but instead an intelligent move.

Well it was more that it would be humourous timing if it happened to happen tomorrow on our birthdays. But yeah, NG definitely needs more Bahamod :P

I'll give myself a rest from making the Pentalist update today. I'll save it until Tuesday once my birthday is all over. And yes, I know this update will have to be special, especially when Molotov reached his ultimate goal. Seriously, man, big congrats on reaching 10k reviews. The last time we had someone reaching 10k reviews was KWAS and that's going back 5 years.

Also, I have one more day in my second decade and I'm looking forward to tomorrow, even though my sister and her fiance go back to London today.

You can always change back.

Not just yet. I'll let it cool down for now and the next time someone complains about aura changers, I'll join in the fun. Oh, and next time, I'll switch to neutral rather than evil.

Why not do the impossible?

Because it's impossible?

You're not ambitious enough.

I have eczema and that with salty water is a bad mix. You think Manowar and good don't mix, this is a much much worse.

Oh, I see. I'm glad I don't have any problems with my skin apart from getting razor burns and sun burns very easily. But at least there are lotions that help me to get rid of those/prevent those burns.

That's lucky for you. Supposedly, the sea water is meant to do good for my skin but can someone explain why it burns the fuck out of it?

You should have already feared Wadolf beforehand and I'm only the icing on the cake.

I HAVE feared Wadolf before, but not too much.

You have some bravery, Haggard.

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. I've had some criticism for making a negative review for Helloween's Unarmed. Well, the criticism was only on Last.fm.

I feel lame for not knowing a single song on that album, or any Helloween song at all for that matter. I do agree though that it's wrong and pointless to criticize an opinion. If we all had the same opinion, there would be no need to review.

You stated just before that you're not a fan of heavy metal so I'm not going to blame you for not knowing Helloween. They're only recognisable amongst metal fans and should at least ring a bell to anyone who has at least some interest in the genre.

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

Indeed, this update makes Spy a happy Spy. I really should give him a huge ass grin on gmod just to express how happy he is for this update.

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! :(

Oddly enough, I have some minor FPS issues on TF2 even without the dust problems I've had. It mostly occurs in heavy fire. I really want Valve to offer good ways to lower the intensity of battles.

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

Scout in an empty server is BROKEN!

I don't understand you humans. :P

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

It just doesn't make sense to me. :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.

Ouch, that must have been horrible. Luckily I've not had such contact with sea creatures but I do remember in Florida having experience with dolphins.

What is this mind-fuckery about anyway?

Myself going from light to evil, neutral or even dark is to mess with people's minds who are far too used to me with light aura. If they say to me "I can't imagine you without light aura", I'll just change my aura for a day to spite them.

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 sure hope not. At least no-one can accuse me of anything for my interest in dragons. :P

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.

What? Getting killed by a sword up your ass would be lame? No way.

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).

Gagsy left me last night on Stickam. She said she can only have love for one place and that's the General forum. :'( Later on she was looking up dragon porn on the internet. She clearly has no interest in me anymore.

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).

I really liked Triple Triad and I couldn't refine any of the rare cards I had. However, all the other cards, no problem.

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.

I actually didn't like the level system in FFVIII. I thought it went far too quick, especially when you can easily reach level 100 in Balamb Garden. It's time consuming but it's not eternal like reaching level 99 in the very first place in FFVII or any other game in the franchise. Although Oblivion did a similar thing for their game, I felt it was more convenient for it due to the nonlinear nature of the game.

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.

Hey, that could work, although if it was me going to Japan, I'd love to go no matter what. After all, I know a few Japanese metal bands I listen to and getting their CDs is a bitch over here.

Does this apply to icon mods as well or must the whole lounge be gold to satisfy you?

Gold alone is still not enough. I want to see almighty pentamods roaming this place.

Surely you can't expect me to be an audio or art mod. :P Can't we focus on taking over Newgrounds instead?

I'm not gonna tell you about the super secret Icon Mod lounge with swimming pools, jacuzzis, minibars, Vietnamese massage chicks and adjustable beach chairs.

I did ask for Batman: Arkham Asylum on the PS3 so I'm likely to be getting that game. Heh, when I was wanting to get back into the Batman franchise, I was only hoping to get the films and The Animated Series and that's it but Arkham Asylum is far too good to pass on. I did play the demo on Steam and it was really good. Can't wait to play the full version.

Yes I have an alt. I used a real email to create mine though you can use a temporary email to create one. However you will be SOL if you forget the password and need it sent to you obviously. The reason I used a real one is because I use my alt as a backup in case something happens to this one, so I might need to ask for the password if I'm forgetful.

Robot Day hasn't been ALL of what I was expecting. There have been some nice submissions, but I think not everyone was that aware of it. I've seen some submissions "made in a few hours", which could have been great. And no flashes from MindChamber so far. =/

Yeah I agree. It was good, but wasn't great. I have to admit there were some pretty funny and creative ones floating out there and some were just WTF.

They did, but the problem was, they didn't have a successful manager after he left.

Being solely responsible for the downfall of a club is also an achievement I suppose :p

I wouldn't say he was responsible for it - he descended into alcoholism, as the club sold influential players and they finished bottom of the league and he announced his retirement. Falling out with his long time assistant, Peter Taylor had left him a broken man. Forest returned to the Premiership the next season, under former player under Clough, Frank Clark.

Pentamods? Jeez, I'm not sure I could cope with the responsibilities of fiver different moderation jobs all under one umbrella.

Ha, even you're scared of his wishes. :P

I was hoping that I'd be able to have it coincide with the birthday celebrations, but it looks like I'm running about a day late...

You know what that means? EXTENDED PARTY!

You have balls of steel, Coop.

It always gets on people's nerves if I have to run to the bog in the night. They keep clanking together and wake the house up :P

That's odd, Duke Nukem never had that problem so why do you have it?

100x better than anything The Simpsons have done since the cancellation of Futurama and by that, I mean it's awesome.

Real-life level up get! 20 today :D

Sweet, any idea of what games you might be getting?

I did ask for Batman: Arkham Asylum on the PS3 so I'm likely to be getting that game. Heh, when I was wanting to get back into the Batman franchise, I was only hoping to get the films and The Animated Series and that's it but Arkham Asylum is far too good to pass on. I did play the demo on Steam and it was really good. Can't wait to play the full version.

Oh my god, Arkham, best thing I played all 2009, trust me, if you're a Batman fan you will not be disappointed :P

Well it was more that it would be humourous timing if it happened to happen tomorrow on our birthdays. But yeah, NG definitely needs more Bahamod :P

Quiet you, NG already has some Bahamod around here. Take myself being an icon mod for granted.

I know, but NG needs infinitely more Bahamod :P

Account turned 7 years old 4 days ago and I'm still aware of this website, Christ.

So I heard about Newgrounds when I was about 10 through my troublemaker friends on the fucking playground during recess. If I remember correctly they were talking about how some Harry Potter flash spoof where he shoots himself in the head, apparently it was hilarious and I needed to see it. (I don't think I ever did.) Months pass eventually I'm checking out Newgrounds at a friend's house while dodging his parents so they don't see what we're doing. (We even deleted the Netscape the browsing history because we were looking at some bad stuff.) I was already familiar with sites like killfrog and like everybody else my age I had been staying up late watching South Park since it's original run, so the site back then in it's more primal phase was just that much more interesting to me, but my family didn't own a computer and therefore I didn't know shit about the internet (specifically how to get my own e-mail address) and neither did my parents or any of my friends. Signing up at that time was an impossibility to me.

Fast forward a year or so, it's summer vacation and my family gets their own computer; a Hewlett-Packard piece of shit that's still sitting in our basement who's 10GB harddrive is clogged with so much shit, BonziBuddy, so many ancient viruses, trojans and worms that it wouldn't even be worth the effort to try and restore it. Anyway, I used that P.O.S. to create my own Yahoo! email at some point, I believe my youngest aunt taught me how to do that for the purpose of sending me cute clip art pictures through e-mail or something. I use my AOL instant messenger name as my handle, Mack8354. The name has no significance whatsoever, my brother picked it. Anyway a few days after creating said e-mail I find myself browsing Newgrounds probably looking at the latest Retarded Animal Babies and fucking LOVING IT. I vote on it and WHAT'S THIS?! If I create an account I get more stuff when I vote? And now with my newfangled e-mail I can actually create an account? What was I waiting for? Mack8354 becomes the newest member of Newgrounds. Being 12 at the time and knowing that the age limit is actually 13 I mark myself as 21 (just in case!) and lurk the forums. I actually never posted before I turned 13, but that doesn't stop the quality of my posts from being so poor that they're literally a stain on my record. Same goes for my reviews, what the fuck was I thinking. I used to be very dedicated to depositing every day, somewhere along the way I stopped caring, but I have no regrets. I also remember when I went through a phase around 15-16 years old where I wanted to be a forum moderator. That certainly would have been a train wreck to say the least. Fast forward 7 years and I'm typing some stupid shit nobody will read, and that's my story.

Whistle Status:
Silver

The review mods must be rather inactive since i flagged a lot of stuff long time ago and i almost haven't flagged anything since, and then suddenly my whistle is all silver and stuff.

Yes. Anyone can make the lists. I did them a year ago, and I even wasn't a regular in the Wi/Ht.

Also, when should I come back making the lists again?

What track events did you do? I ran the 100, 200, 4 X 100, and depending on what the coach needed for the rest of the day I either did Shot-put or the 4 X 400.

I doubt review mods are inactive. They just have thousands and thousands of reviews to go through every day.

Sure, anybody can create lists, but we ask that you keep it to once per day and try not to congratulate minor achievements. You can get an idea of what is congrats worthy in this newspost.

It's cool, I'm well aware you didn't have anything against metal. I know it's not your cup of tea and you're not the only here. Auz has also mentioned his lack of interest in metal but he's still an awesome guy no matter what he listens to.

I dunno, I'm tempted to start listening to some. It's good to have variety and I need a place to start. What would you suggest for a first album? I'll buy anything as long as it's not too insane.

I did 100, 200 and 4 x 200. I'll also try triple jump for the first time in spring. My times aren't the best but that's why I'm training. I think it was 13.03 for 100 and 26.71 for 200. They're probably lower by now.
