I love Wi/Ht, but I really wish it were a little bit more active. This thread is currently the most popular thread in Wi/Ht, and ALWAYS on the first page, but sometimes goes 3-6 hours without getting any replies.

Level 15 Yayz another month and I will be level 16.P.S if klik28 see this.I am a higher level then you are

Haha yeah, if I weren't busy with so many IRL commitments, I'd be tempted to join you guys on the team :P

There isn't even some time for it for the summer holidays? :(

Well I have much more NG time than normal, but between renovations throughout the whole house and trying to meet up with my friends and girlfriend more while I can, I won't have as much time as some people might to dedicate to icon modding. I just think with the size of the job it would be unfair of me to take up a spot that someone else could do more work in. Of course if you guys are ever desperately short and any help will do, I'd gladly offer my services :P

Yeah, there's not much else to say about additional Psychonauts games. However, we can talk about the second Monkey Island remake coming out next week! I'll be pre-ordering it on Steam along with any games I see in the summer sale.

Ah Monkey Island, good times...

Yep, I can't wait to play the second game when it's released. It'll be a high priority on my games to play so expect me to play it sometime this Summer.

I'm replaying the SOMI Special Edition in anticipation :P

Viva la revolution, indeed. First, General and now Icon Moderation

It just shows how serious we are about taking over Newgrounds. It wasn't just General we wanted to invade.

; by next year, you'll be one of the Staff

What can I offer to the staff?

Account deletion by means of Mega Flare?

Hm, life was an icon mod before they went on the whole icon modding spree. For some reason I don't think he makes many icons a day. :P

I don't think any of the old icon mods are taking care of the new duties. I mean, Egoraptor was only an icon mod just so he can keep his gold aura. :P

Why an art mod? Maybe the Literature Portal will be out in a year's time.

Yeah, Lit Portal Mod is better. I had to pick between Art and Audio and Art was the first thing that came to mind.

Hey, audio mod doesn't sound too bad either.

I bet the rest want to know where they'll be.

Breaking out my soothsayer crystal ball again: Idiot-buster and SirNuts will continue as is

I bet they're disappointed.

the same with Auz except as a Review Mod

Sounds good.

letiger will pester Coop until he get permabanned by him

Can't wait for this to happen.

Gagsy will finally be a Wi/Ht Reg

This will be an eventful day.

NEVR will leave NG to become a Hawaiian Tropic Judge

I want to hear his thoughts on this.

Haggard will pull a gfox and do epic catch-ups from time to time

I thought that'd be Sir-Nuts. Then again, Haggard plans to get married.

and not to mention I'll be triple listed some where along the way.

Isn't that a modest goal? No reverend day or anything?

I should do the same but I'll wait until the second special edition is out. I was playing Bioshock 2 on Steam but I've been so fucked up the ass for getting this game it's not even funny. Here's what I ran into:

- 11GB game. OK, it's a 2010 video game but all this was a waste in the end.
- SecuROM. Nasty stuff.
- Games for Windows Live. So not only do I have to log into Steam, I also need to log into Windows Live. Fucking unnecessary, there shouldn't even be GFWL on there if I buy it from Steam.
- Random crashes. I blame GFWL.

And I'm not the only one who's suffering. Thanks for fucking legitimate customers up the ass 2K.

What can I offer to the staff?

Account deletion by means of Mega Flare?

In that case, Wade can take early retirement.

You passed 27000 Saves. Way to go!

Oh that. Yeah, censorship sucks very badly here. I mean, they don't even show uncut porn movies in free tv. Makes you wonder why they bother to show "porn" in the first place...
They don't even show dragon porn, which makes the whole thing even less interesting for you, I guess.

But at least there are ways around it, I'm free to import stuff from other countries. And most of the time it's also CHEAPER to import than to buy the cut games or movies in a store.

You passed 8000 Experience Points. Good job!

Looks like I can finally look forward to an appearance on Bahamut's EXP updates :P

I'm happy with my 30.000 medal points, if that counts. At least, that is what is says on my account. Not on newgrounds log or top medal point users list.

Great, someday I'll try to write some more, but not today and probably not tomorrow.

I'm usually good at putting it off until it's a jungle. The thought of hauling my ancient and heavy mower is enough motivation.

For some reason I decided to do it tomorrow. Then I figured that it's 10 degrees cooler tonight and I have work tomorrow. So as soon as I'm done with this list it's time to mow the grass again. Yay!

Yes there is. Whoever the person was that stocked the fridge. They should know better than to put the food in plane sight where I'll eat it without stopping. If you put something that I want to eat in the back of the fridge I'll never find it for some reason. There's just something about the moving things out of the way that I tend to dislike.

Well there sure are a lot of people who don't pay attention, but the pace of many classes is staggeringly slow. In English, we've been studying the same concepts for almost three years with very little added depth each time. Then again, there's only so much that can be taught before high school.

The semi-final seems to be a rather easy one on paper, but I thought the same thing about the quarter-final against Russia two years ago (which we lost 3-1).

Yeah and the same thing was said about Federer in the quarter finals at Wimbledon :P

I got a feeling that the current team will be able to keep their heads cool this time though. Most of the current players were there in 2008 and have probably learned their lesson.

My dad was talking this over with me - he said that Aston Villa would have done better as a team than England. He picked on the Villa, because they're mostly English in their squad, though I did point out that we'd have no goalie :P

Well at least you would have a real team already and not a bunch of selfish glory hunters scraped together.

Perhaps that's where the England managers go wrong - afraid to drop the prima donas.

Yeah, I think Italy made the same mistake. They still brought players like Cannavaro from the winning 2006 team, but at his age (almost 37) he has obviously passed his peak a loooong time ago. I wouldn't say the English players have passed their peak yet, but you shouldn't be afraid to substitute your star players if they are underperforming.

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.

You're talking about that hand ball that won them the match right?

He's too mouthy indeed and he behaves much more like a player than a coach.

We'll see - he now has a platform to be a gobby twat, so he should be an awesome manager :P

It's true that most of the top football managers are arrogant pricks (Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho...).

It's locked now so I'm excited.

Results are in! We won! Haha!

I'd say winning all the best positive awards is pretty awesome for the Wi/Ht?. Now if only Haggard could win funniest user next time and Fro best artist... :p

I have avoided some of his videos due to the length of them. Kinda funny I say that since I find his LP of Phantasmagoria 2 to be the best Let's Play ever made! But yeah, I skip most of his vlogs due to the time lengths.

That's about the only series of him I have yet to watch. I have watched an episode or two a long time ago, but it didn't interest me that much. Probably because the game itself wasn't that interesting in my opinion (or at least not in the beginning).

It does have a slow start and while the game sucks overall, Spoony just makes it more amusing so if you have the time, give it a second chance. From the sounds of it, you only saw 20 minutes of it so definitely see more of it.

I think I watched up until the part where the main character left the house and went to some other building. Spoony didn't really seem to know what to do so that part went very slowly, while it could've taken less than 5 minutes.

But alright, I'll give it a second chance sometime.

Triple Triad and the drawing system in his FFVIII review. He had whole episodes dedicated to them. Although the first 7 episodes of that review series were all about disk 1 and the last 3 covered the rest, so he also rushed through them in the end.

Although the last few parts ended up rushing through the game, I really liked Spoony's FFVIII review for pointing out real gameplay issues.

Yep. Even though I kinda liked Final Fantasy VIII myself, I couldn't help but agree with his criticism. Although he did overact a little at times, like how complex the junction system is while I think it wasn't really.

It makes me wonder if people learned anything at all from their history books about WW II.

They obviously didn't and they never will learn from it.

I guess not. Now that the generation that witnessed WW2 is fading away, the newer generations are about to make the very same mistakes again.

And Ryu is just a guy isn't he?

Ry%u016B, the Japanese word for a Japanese dragon

Close enough.

Really? Close enough indeed.

Germany is a wonderful place. :P

It is!

They got the most awesome holiday in the world called Oktoberfesten!

But if you are concerned about right winged partys, I guess you're right. We have the NPD, DVU and some other very small partys that hardly don't get any attention at all. But NPD and DVU are very strong in the eastern parts of Germany.

There are still big differences between west and east right?

As I said earlier I think Germany is about the only place in western-Europe at the moment where extreme right wing parties are not gaining in popularity. I know problems with them are arising in Holland, Belgium, Great-Britain and I believe in Switzerland, France and Denmark too. But in Germany parties like that are simply considered Nazi parties right? Unfortunately nobody has had the balls here yet to call Geert Wilders a Nazi -.-'

Well I have much more NG time than normal, but between renovations throughout the whole house and trying to meet up with my friends and girlfriend

You never told us about your girlfriend.

Well I suppose it was during my hiatus from the LUL, so I guess that makes sense haha. Met her at a friend's party back in December, asked her out a few weeks later, been with her since.

Of course if you guys are ever desperately short and any help will do, I'd gladly offer my services :P

Well, if you don't think you can do as much as you think you should, we won't put pressure on you.

It's not so much pressure, it's just I wouldn't feel right about being on the team potentially ahead of people who would work harder at it than me. As I said if the influx of applicants dried up and you were still very shorthanded, I'd of course chip in what I can to help.

Yep, I can't wait to play the second game when it's released. It'll be a high priority on my games to play so expect me to play it sometime this Summer.

I'm replaying the SOMI Special Edition in anticipation :P

I should do the same but I'll wait until the second special edition is out. I was playing Bioshock 2 on Steam but I've been so fucked up the ass for getting this game it's not even funny. Here's what I ran into:

- 11GB game. OK, it's a 2010 video game but all this was a waste in the end.
- SecuROM. Nasty stuff.
- Games for Windows Live. So not only do I have to log into Steam, I also need to log into Windows Live. Fucking unnecessary, there shouldn't even be GFWL on there if I buy it from Steam.
- Random crashes. I blame GFWL.

And I'm not the only one who's suffering. Thanks for fucking legitimate customers up the ass 2K.

Wow, nasty indeed, fortunately I've not been screwed sideways by any games I've gotten recently; Borderlands gave me a bit of hassle but I found a fix online and haven't looked back.

What can I offer to the staff?

Account deletion by means of Mega Flare?

In that case, Wade can take early retirement.

Or at least focus on his other duties more :P

I thought Stamper manages the huge collection of gay porn at the NG Headquarters?

Oh, yeah there's that but that's not my department.

I thought that'd be Sir-Nuts. Then again, Haggard plans to get married.

Hey, only because I plan to get married doesn't mean I suddendly disappear like gfox did.

Marriage means you're no longer a free man. :P

Okay, gfox didn't disappear "suddendly" he wasn't too active before his marriage either. ^^

Maybe not active enough but it was better than nothing. Now, he isn't even trying.

Becuase.
Also, it's a shocking achievement. Then again, the shocked emoticon works better for that.

When I remember it, I will use the "shocked emoticon" when I reach level 49.

Sounds good to me.

They don't even show dragon porn, which makes the whole thing even less interesting for you, I guess.

Are there any places that DO show dragon porn? :P

I'm a very modest person, IRL. The simple things I find are the best.

Shame, you need a huge reward as well.

Do we get anyone else making a comeback?

If you would have asked me last week I would have said that Pigeon fellow. However, it is very difficult to see the dead in my tea leaves, but an old statwhore returns for just a visit; ramagi. It seems like when you're gone, you're really gone from NG.

I look forward to the day ramagi makes a triumphant return to Wi/Ht.

That doesn't do a thing at all except for possibly making the dragon more angry than s/he was.

It's locked now so I'm excited.

Results are in! We won! Haha!

Victorious!

I'd say winning all the best positive awards is pretty awesome for the Wi/Ht?. Now if only Haggard could win funniest user next time and Fro best artist... :p

I think it's Haggard's turn to win Most Underrated.

It does have a slow start and while the game sucks overall, Spoony just makes it more amusing so if you have the time, give it a second chance. From the sounds of it, you only saw 20 minutes of it so definitely see more of it.

I think I watched up until the part where the main character left the house and went to some other building. Spoony didn't really seem to know what to do so that part went very slowly, while it could've taken less than 5 minutes.

That's what amazes me. Most of this was done live and possibly on the first take yet his jokes were well timed and are some of his strongest efforts.

Although the last few parts ended up rushing through the game, I really liked Spoony's FFVIII review for pointing out real gameplay issues.

Yep. Even though I kinda liked Final Fantasy VIII myself, I couldn't help but agree with his criticism. Although he did overact a little at times, like how complex the junction system is while I think it wasn't really.

It wasn't the best of ideas so I can understand why he didn't like the junction system. I wasn't too fond of it either. As for his FFX review, the best criticism I've heard so far is the lack of ability to skip cutscenes. Anything else, there isn't much to say since he praised the battle system, graphics and soundtrack. Oddly enough, he seems to like FFX's soundtrack more than I do. He thought it was amazing while I think it's good but not up to Nobuo's standards.

It's really sad that I have to either get Bioshock 2 on the PS3 or pirate it.

In that case, Wade can take early retirement.

Or at least focus on his other duties more :P

I suppose that works.

I'm catching up here again... I've been absent in the past few days due to many things, such as the World Cup, school assignments, dentist visits... Everything was conspiring me away from here!

In the meanwhile, Brazil got eliminated by the Netherlands. Auz, you are forbidden to mention this match towards me. ;_;

The worst thing out of that is having to deal with the media blaming the coach, the players... STOP, it was everyone's fault, we are a team, and the team lost, not a player, not anyone, but the team.

Anyway, UP CATCHING:

Looking forward to it! It takes a lot out of me to make them.

Do you have to do them manually? Like, checking every one's stats manually and such?

Thanks! I don't want to feel like I'm intruding or anything so this is very reassuring. :D

Nah, you're far from intruding on anything, we welcome anyone who's willing to help around here. ;)

I gotta say, it's a lot of fun around here. I'll certainly stick around for the entirety of summer and hopefully into the school year as well. We shall see.

Nice, try making it a part of your day, and not just an occasional thing. It doesn't take that long to post in here, anyway.

Well, you could be disguising yourself as a huge pigeon and taking control of all the pigeons in the world, by claiming that bad thing would happen to them if they didn't take you as their leader.

Or you could just be an honourable pigeon all the way and I'm making up gibberish. :P

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. =/

I'm pretty good at trigonometry, but there's 1 math topic that I fail epicly and it is probability :/

Hmm... From what I've seen of probability & statistics so far in high school, it doesn't seem to be that hard. But I might be underestimating it, since one of the few subjects that my father failed when he was in the Civil Engineering course was that.

And I think my brother is having some trouble with it as well, so it must be something...

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...

Even Ismael told me that Argentina's 1st goal was unfair. God damn... We should had won that match :(

If it makes you feel better, Germany overwhelmed them earlier today. :)

VAI BRASIL!

Brasil é um dos meus favoritos no competiam :P

Hahahahaha, mais ou menos certo. :P

The correct would be "Brasil é um dos meus favoritos na competição." ;)

Coop watches Mark Webber take flying lessons

With Kovalainen as a launch bay?

"G'day. I'm Mark Webber, the first ever Oztronaut. We're trying to launch into space and we think we've cracked the formula." Someone needs to make this into a flash game, like Hedgehog Launch, or Toss the Turtle.

That would be great. ;P "Launch the Webber"? With multiple cars ahead? Sure thing!

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

Harsh. He'll be backstopping the Phils next year, so the reports on NHL.com say.

ESPN begs to differ, he's still a free agent there, apparently. I'm keeping track of the free agents over there...

Also, LOL at the Islanders trying to land Kovalchuck. :P

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...

NHL.com allows people to watch highlights the day after. That's how I've followed it.

Meh, I can only watch the games live. I don't bother with highlights, especially when I already know the results. =/
