I'm sure you know him better than I do so hopefully you have a plan. As for me, maybe it's best if I just greet him.

Fair enough - my major plan is still to try and convince Wade to come across for a London meet.

Good god, don't even think about it, unless you have a naked dragoness in the background. :P

Oh yeah? Come on, this is art, we're talking about. Not smut :P

But myself having a shitblade for a dick isn't art at all. Dragonesses in the nude show beauty at their finest.

Every blade has its scabbard!

That reminds me, will you be there on the first day at the White Swan?

Of course I will - karaoke night and I have special plans, including a rendition of "Danger! High Voltage" with possibly Cally or Gagsy.

I can't wait until I meet you then. Friday night is going to kick ass!

11 days to go :D

Infact, the future is looking bright, despite the loss of gfox.

Yes, the loss of gfox hurts us all, but we just have to move on.

You're right. I've known many Wi/Ht?'ers who left us behind and wish they were still here but we can't have everything. However, if we lose the revolution, I blame gfox. He was one of our main troops.

Behemoth is a good one. The names are actually related and of course, Behemoth sounds epic. The name, that is. I haven't listened to much of the black/death metal band Behemoth.

I was sure I had some songs from them on my hard drive or on some of the compilations you get when you buy a magazine related to music or that some give out for free on concerts. But I found nothing and now I'm disappointed.
But I'm sure I listened to some songs from them somewhere.

I've heard a few songs and they're not bad. However, I need to hear more from them before deciding I'll enjoy them or not.

I need to listen to something on the way there and back.

That's what car radios that are able to play back MP3-CDs are for.

First of all, I don't have a car. Second, my parents' car aren't fully compatible with MP3 Players. We have to use a cassette that runs a CD or MP3 Player, lol. That's their car, though so iPod it is.

Wow, you're lucky. I heard a bit of them all but BrokenCYDE I could only tolerate for 15 seconds. I'd rather listen to St. Anger and Risk than those horrible excuses of music.

Risk? What's that? (I propably will regret this question...)

Megadeth's St. Anger. It's so bad it's horrible with the exception of Prince of Darkness. That's the only song I can tolerate on Megadeth's Risk. On the bright side, that's at least one good song rather than nothing since I cannot enjoy a single song on St. Anger.

You are but it's not live and you should know almost everything is better when it's live. I said almost because of DragonForce.

DragonForce used to be awesome when playing live.

The keywords are used to. They USED TO be awesome live.

Which is funny considering you're more tolerant towards the newer episodes.

It's because my taste is better than yours. :P

No, I'm pretty sure mine's better than yours. :P I know the newer episodes suck for bad writing, horrible "humour" and continuity errors.

Nah, we're even.

However, I love the oldies a lot. So many classics, so many fond memories.

Yeah, some great episodes there, but some shitty ones as well.

I can hardly think of any bad episodes from the old days. Sure, season 1 was primitive but that was just the beginning of the 20 minute episodes for the show. I still find them to be enjoyable.

Actually, it's seven awesome icons in a row from the hammer to the golden gauntlet. However, if I had to choose only two out of them all, it'll be the sword and the scythe.

The gauntlet sucks. :P

Says the shitblade lover. :P

I'm sure if you weren't around, he'd be complaining about having the shitblade for a while. Surely he can't wait until he gets the nunchucks.

The nunchucks are better

That's all we need to say. They are the awesome nunchucks from the old levels but not as awesome as they used to be.

Whatever the reason is, at least we care more about replying than congrats lists. Those who hardly reply to posts around here could do with talking more often. By not taking as much part in the discussions we have here, they do feel out of place.

Well lately I've been with my girlfriend a lot since it's summerholiday and all and I can't really go isolate myself from her and be on Newgrounds for long times nonstop, can I?

Coop seems to make his daily LUL posts just fine and he's got a job and a girlfriend. Although, he does appear to be more organised than most of us.

Uhh, I don't know your address. So yeah, even if I wanted to go over there, I'd have to find your house. On the bright side, I have your name so that'll make the search slightly easier.

It'll be the one marked with a big, red X. Shouldn't be too hard to find for you, considering Holland isn't that big.

You know what, I changed my mind. I'll just ship the DVDs to you instead. Hopefully the postmen know what I mean when I put down "The house with the big red X" on the parcel.

You people want autographs? Sure, if you think I'm that worthy. As for the burn marks, I don't want to hurt you. Even if I tried to make it as tame as possible, I'm not sure if you could stand the heat.

But third degree burn marks is only gonna make it more hardcore.

Fine, I'll give you a burn mark but if I kill you, dibs on your, your... Say, what can I call dibs on?

Just don't put double speed effect on your videos on Windows Movie Maker.

But... I thought people liked that :(

Heck no.

No, that's the name I'd have if I was a woman which I'm clearly not.

Maybe if you crossdressed as well, but... since you're wearing no clothes =/

Crossdressing dragons isn't possible which I think is a good thing. We decide who we are without even wearing anything. The most you'll see me wearing is shades and maybe a crown.

Would've been a great mindfuck but alas.

The only way you'd see me calling myself Tiamat is a parallel universe form of me with the opposite gender. In that universe, Newgrounds users would commonly say "There are no men on the internet." Now THAT'S a mindfuck.

You won't believe what she admitted to me on Stickam. She planned to kidnap me! The only thing that foiled her plan was having to meet up with my sister when I'm ready to head back. On the other hand, if she kidnaps me, we'll at least have a talk about a few things.

Keeping you as a pet dragon? Bahamut is no humans pet!

I'm certainly not. I dread to think what she wanted to do with me exactly but I suppose I've got to prepare for the worst (or maybe the best) and fight for Wi/Ht.

Actually, it was. I remember somewhere in Dali they had the card games explained but again, it wasn't very clear.

Not even in Treno where you have to play the card tournament? =/

Actually, there may have been a tutorial there but I never cared enough to find it. Funny how I can recall reading some basic rules on Tetra Master in Dali but not Treno.

By personal favourite, does this mean it's your very favourite Final Fantasy game? I can't argue with that, although there are a few things that bring this game down for me and makes it my third favourite FF game.

Yes it is my favorite, but I have to admit that the only ones I've played start to finish from the main series are I, VII, VIII and IX.

I've finished all except II and I really hate that game. However, I would like to play through all the FF games sometime from first to most recent excluding MMORPGs, so I'll have to torture myself to FFII. That also means trying to beat FFIV DS and that game is hard as hell.

I almost finished VI too, but my savefile was corrupted just before I wanted to go to Kefka's castle and I just thought fuck it. It's too bad because now I feel like I have never really gotten the full experience of that game.

FUUUUUUUUCK! I really hate it when that happens. Oh well, hopefully you'll play FFVI again. It took me three tries to beat the game and it was well worth it.

Anyway I wasn't as impressed by 7 as you were. Whatever Cloud and Sephiroth had never really appealed to me and it made the story kinda vague sometimes.

I always saw it as the ideal good guy vs bad guy and I could easily understand why Cloud wants to take down Sephiroth.

After playing through the game twice I still do not really understand what the hell was up with those... 'fake' Sephiroths at the beginning of the game and what the purpose of those hooded people was.

Better trying to understand that than the whole of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. I still don't know what was the point of that film. The only points it gets is for being amusingly bad.

As for those battle scenes, they were sure epic but I was most unhappy when Alexander beat me. However, at least I burned down Alexandria before I was defeated.

And you made Kuja bleed which is like: OMG :o

I never really liked Kuja anyway.

Well I just bought myself a brand new laptop, but 150 hours?

That's something I want to bring up here instead of the Icon Mod thread where you mentioned about your new laptop. First of all, what are the specs of your laptop? Second, I can't believe your old computer was 10 years old. I thought it was bad enough when I was with the 4 year old (at the time) desktop which I used less when I got my laptop in 2008. That old computer was becoming horrendously slow and I wasn't sure how much longer I was able to tolerate it. That's why when I saw this laptop in the shops, I had to get it as soon as possible and it was one hell of a purchase.

Haggard plans to get married this year so we'll be missing him soon enough.

Shit! We gotta stop that wedding!

I don't think he's planned it just yet so we still have time. The ones we need to worry the most are those in a relationship. As for me, I'm still a lonely dragon so I have hope.

It's bad enough when our neighbour has a cat. Although it's more interested in the rats we've had, I don't ever want that cat to get close to Sky, especially when a friend of mine had a fatal trouble with her budgie thanks to one of her cats.

Yeah cats can be a bunch of mean bastards. Sometimes they kill birds just for fun.

That's what I don't like cats. They can be obnoxious creatures at times. Another thing I don't like about them is when they wonder around the neighbourhood.

No, James Rolfe got popular on YouTube. No-one knew him beforehand but now he's more on GameTrailers as well as his own site. His YouTube channel just gets uploads of older reviews as well as trailers.

I see. I thought he got popular on some other side first and then went to youtube to showcase his work (like Spoony).

Many people I know originally became popular on YouTube. However, with copyright bullshit and the way YouTube mistreat most of their users, they all had to go elsewhere. Good thing Blip.tv has a thing called common sense, unlike YouTube for the most part.

I need THREE posts? Good grief.

So we got Coop on the drums, me on an amplified triangle, Bahamut shredding his guitar and doing the grunting and roaring... what should Haggard do? Shall we let him play the synthesizer or should he play the saxophone for that jazz element in our music?

Wait, I thought Coop was doing the vocals. Haggard can do the drums but we still need a bassist. Maybe reverend can take that spot?

I'll be seeing Luis soon enough so maybe me and Coop and make some arrangements with him while we're in London. ;)

You should do that.

Already going to cover it. Only a week on Friday now. Hopefully time flies and I'll be at the meet before I know it.

I don't even know how to fly backwards. As for autopilot, we're not machines, you know.

Maybe we can turn you into... Meta-Bahamut? Autopilot and GPS will be pretty handy in order to find my house and drop some DVD packages. Not to mention I could install some rockets so that you won't have to fly yourself anymore.

I don't want to be a robot. I'd like to keep my body intact and not have all this mecha support. Although, me and reverend recently talked about how icon mods work like robots...

But what can he do in the art portal? Well, audio portal has a place for him to share his voice acting talent.

Uhm... delete submissions that are better than his own? I don't know, it's about the idea of being in control over every part of the site.

FUCK, I just realised something. Remember when I told you that I'm supposedly a legend at the NG office and thought maybe the staff have fun reading my posts? They could be reading our plans, so they'll be preparing themselves.

That's another one who I really want to meet. I know it's not easy to get over here with a family and all but if it's possible, I'm looking forward to that moment. I'm still hoping there's a chance for Tom to attend the next meet whenever it's planned but again, I understand if he can't make it.

I didn't get it when I was younger. One day I just opened it for fun and once I understood what the numbers meant, it became pretty easy. I've still got a lot of improving to do to get my time down though.

Heh, I remember that my dad taught me how it worked when I was younger, although I only began playing on the harder level later. You get better after some tries.

*laughs like a Spy* He was so happy for the Engineer update.

Indeed. And hey, I did quite well as a Spy earlier today on 2fort, although there weren't many engies. I guess there was that class-limit thing.

Yeah, some servers have a class-limit which is actually good at times. It prevents class rushes so you wouldn't have seen the server consisting of nothing but Engineers and the odd Spy.

Yeah, although my favourite server doesn't have that. Oh well, I had a great time as a Spy, anyway. ^^

As for me, I feel Soldier does a better job at taking down sentries in 2fort, although any with the Wrangler shield is a bitch to destroy. I feel Valve made the shield too powerful. It seems the only way to destroy a shielded sentry is by getting a Spy to backstab the Engineer. Personally, I'd like to see more balance here.

Indeed. I've been übered as a Heavy and I was right in front of the sentry, yet I couldn't take it down. I have yet to get the new engie weapons, though.

You know, the servers where only 4 people are playing right now.

Sure, but why "broken"? =P

Because if there's only 4 people, you can get through the enemy base and grab the intel with ease. You can't expect that to happen in a game with 24 players.

Meh, usually when there aren't many people playing, we go for melee fights. We had organised Heavy boxing championships, achievement-whoring, dispensers and such. ^^

and fearsome as well, one of the reasons I HAVE to respect you. ;P

Fearsome to the General regulars, yes! >:)

Two words:

I'm afraid you might threaten me with watching the final over and over again, so maybe it's best if I don't harass you too much with it.

Heh, that is a good idea to threaten you with. :P

Either way, I'm already out of the World Cup mood. Internacional has a huge game this Wednesday in the Copa Libertadores semi-final, which is like your UEFA. First game is at home so we have to get some advantage for the next game!

Yeah, I guess he was more "practical" back then. He would have an objective, and not just mess around while playing. He's kinda like Beckham - He gets more with his image than with his football. Although Beckham is a nice guy.

Indeed. He was still playing for the team and not for himself. Beckham indeed seems to be much nicer. I liked how he was still on the bench for the English team and provided moral support.

Yeah, Beckham is a great player and a great guy. He cares a lot more about his team than Ronaldo does, I believe.

Have you ever heard of a Colombian (I think) player that scored an own goal in a World Cup, and was murdered when he got back home? THAT is a little too much.

Never heard of that story, but I think I have heard other stories about players who got tortured or killed for playing poorly.

I've found him - Andrés Escobar. Give that a quick read.

I guess they're really serious about football in South-America, but I know there are lots of football fanatics in Europe too.

Football is the major sport here in South America, for most countries, at least. Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia... We take it with a real passion in here. And the Copa Libertadores is the main club tournament, so my team winning it again would be awesome. :)

But yeah, it's what I've said - It doesn't matter if we lost only 5 matches before if we lose one in the knock-out stage. You can make as many mistakes as you wish during qualifying matches, as long as you don't repeat them in the World Cup.

Yep. It's too bad for him, but hey, he'll get over it. I'm sure they'll give him another chance.

Speaking of which, our new coach was announced a few days ago, and announced the team that will face USA in New Jersey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_nati onal_football_team#Players

Do you know anyone from there?

And everyone now claims that they deserved it. What, a team that passes the ball the entire game and scores only one goal almost every match? Come on now...

I expected a lot more from them, and it's kinda lame to win a cup while you've lost a match along the way. I wouldn't say that they didn't deserve to win the final as both teams were about equally matched, but over the entire tournament they were very disappointing.

Yeah, everyone had huge expectations over Spain, and they didn't do half of the expected, IMO.

In Holland they were very angry with Howard Webb after the match, and rightfully so in my opinion. I bet it was the worst match in his referee career. He made big mistakes on both ends though, but I had a feeling he was stricter towards Holland than towards Spain.

I was mad at him as well. I don't even know why he was called to be the referee to the final match. His two previous matches weren't very good, they could've even called the Brazilian trio, which did quite well.

And hey, Spain's goal? It came from that foul that hit a Spanish player, but they still had the ball after.

And yeah that fucking octopus >=|

Some people want to buy him. I'd say we should fry him. ^^

Lol :p

Oh well, he's only a prophet. It's not his fault that things turn out the way he says.

Apparently, he's "a symbol of all that is wrong with the western world".

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew s/europe/germany/7912418/Mahmoud-Ahmadin ejad-attacks-Octopus-Paul.html

Jeez, let the octopus have some fun! :P

Anyway, I think the media played a big influence on this tournament. You could see that there were some countries were the media was more than ready to burn down the team as soon as they were eliminated, and they were (Brazil, England, Italy). I don't know if it effected the performance of the team, but it does raise the pressure on them.

Dunga was already pretty mad at some journalists who asked some pretentious questions towards him. I'm not sure if that affected the way he coached, but it shows how the media influences it...

At 7/14/10 03:22 PM, Sir-Nuts wrote: There's a small debate going on FIFA about whether or not South America should have another spot in the World Cup, since Brazil is already there and such...

I can live with SA getting an extra spot. I believe there was some debate somewhere about all the little countries participating and if we shouldn't let Europe get a few extra spots. It's a little silly that Sweden and Czech Republic aren't participating while Honduras, New Zealand and North-Korea are.

True, but how fair would that be? Each continent has their number of spots in the world cup (excluding play-off matches), if we want to see more European countries or any other countries, they would have to change the qualifying system. otherwise, it would be unfair to those countries.

But it would be cool to have some "world groups" like qualifying method. Gather all the teams, split them in random groups... It would be expensive, but way more entertaining. :)

I think they do have a point somewhere. The tournament might be more interesting with less little countries from non-football continents and more underdogs from Europe and SA. Although the diversity is nice too.

I could care less about the diversity, honestly. If those countries go to the cup just for "touring" around, then it isn't worth it. We want to always have a better cup, why not having better teams?

It wouldn't be fair to them, but we would love it. :P

Not to sound like an annoying grammar prick, but... why Londen, and not London? =P Is it the local way you write it in the Netherlands?

Oh yeah sorry. Londen is what we write in Holland, but it's pronounced about the same. So I confuse them sometimes.

Ah right. The same way we write and speak "Londres". There's even a city here called "Londrina", as a reference to "Londres". My aunt is from there, actually.

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.

That's another one who I really want to meet. I know it's not easy to get over here with a family and all but if it's possible, I'm looking forward to that moment. I'm still hoping there's a chance for Tom to attend the next meet whenever it's planned but again, I understand if he can't make it.

Wade just doesn't seem interested, but most of the staff have been across. Tom, Mike, Bob and Luis came across in January, dragging Poozy and The-Swain as well.

ROFL

Seriously, they bought a change to the race result for less than it costs for one of their cars. Less than a day's wages for Fernando Alonso. And, to top it all off, Luca DiMontezemilo admitted that they cheated, citing that it always happens. Teams are within their rights to tell their drivers not to race in the last few laps of a race, as that doesn't change the result, but to blatantly swap the cars around with barely coded messages is ridiculous. Kudos to Rob Smedley for effectively blowing the cover on that one :P

I reached Police Captain

You passed 5000 Experience Points. Good job!

Coop did you delete my post?!

Let me rephrase then;

Omg what the fuck is going on in here? I look back I see a lot of mentioning about myself involving random fractions and dragons.

Well lately I've been with my girlfriend a lot since it's summerholiday and all and I can't really go isolate myself from her and be on Newgrounds for long times nonstop, can I?

Coop seems to make his daily LUL posts just fine and he's got a job and a girlfriend. Although, he does appear to be more organised than most of us.

He's got an office job. Those guys only work for 1 hour a day. The remaining 7 is checking emails, playing games (or go to NG), drinking coffee, talking with colleagues about that new secretary and avoiding your boss.

It'll be the one marked with a big, red X. Shouldn't be too hard to find for you, considering Holland isn't that big.

You know what, I changed my mind. I'll just ship the DVDs to you instead. Hopefully the postmen know what I mean when I put down "The house with the big red X" on the parcel.

I'm sure he'll find it, send them over.

But third degree burn marks is only gonna make it more hardcore.

Fine, I'll give you a burn mark but if I kill you, dibs on your, your... Say, what can I call dibs on?

Let's see ehm...

You can choose between:
-My girlfriend
-My DVD collection
-My N64
-My tickets to the Manowar concert

Maybe if you crossdressed as well, but... since you're wearing no clothes =/

Crossdressing dragons isn't possible which I think is a good thing. We decide who we are without even wearing anything. The most you'll see me wearing is shades and maybe a crown.

That purple pimpsuit you weared in ThePidgeonMasters vid was nice though ;)

Would've been a great mindfuck but alas.

The only way you'd see me calling myself Tiamat is a parallel universe form of me with the opposite gender. In that universe, Newgrounds users would commonly say "There are no men on the internet." Now THAT'S a mindfuck.

I see an idea coming up for you 100th flash submission ;)

Keeping you as a pet dragon? Bahamut is no humans pet!

I'm certainly not. I dread to think what she wanted to do with me exactly but I suppose I've got to prepare for the worst (or maybe the best) and fight for Wi/Ht.

Maybe you have to guard her treasure hoard. That wouldn't so bad, would it? Every dragon loves treasure.

Not even in Treno where you have to play the card tournament? =/

Actually, there may have been a tutorial there but I never cared enough to find it. Funny how I can recall reading some basic rules on Tetra Master in Dali but not Treno.

Damn, I have forgotten where Dali was... *checks* That mountain village? I don't think I ever found anything explaining Tetra Master there and it wouldn't make much sense to explain it so early on in the game if you ask me.

Yes it is my favorite, but I have to admit that the only ones I've played start to finish from the main series are I, VII, VIII and IX.

I've finished all except II and I really hate that game. However, I would like to play through all the FF games sometime from first to most recent excluding MMORPGs, so I'll have to torture myself to FFII. That also means trying to beat FFIV DS and that game is hard as hell.

I heard II's level up system was terrible. And yeah I really gotta play IV sometime. The DS version looked interesting.

I almost finished VI too, but my savefile was corrupted just before I wanted to go to Kefka's castle and I just thought fuck it. It's too bad because now I feel like I have never really gotten the full experience of that game.

FUUUUUUUUCK! I really hate it when that happens. Oh well, hopefully you'll play FFVI again. It took me three tries to beat the game and it was well worth it.

Maybe someday I will pick it up again. It was such a shame because I was pretty far with teaching Celes and Terra all magic spells and I only needed one or two more espers before I had them all. After that I was planning to raid Kefka's castle.

Anyway I wasn't as impressed by 7 as you were. Whatever Cloud and Sephiroth had never really appealed to me and it made the story kinda vague sometimes.

I always saw it as the ideal good guy vs bad guy and I could easily understand why Cloud wants to take down Sephiroth.

Yes I understood why Sephiroth would be the antagonist, but throughout the story he did a few things that didn't make an awful lot of sense if you ask me. I believe there might be something with Sephiroth trying to corrupt, manipulate and confuse Cloud but... I can't remember it was ever explained that clearly in the game.

After playing through the game twice I still do not really understand what the hell was up with those... 'fake' Sephiroths at the beginning of the game and what the purpose of those hooded people was.

Better trying to understand that than the whole of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. I still don't know what was the point of that film. The only points it gets is for being amusingly bad.

Wait... The Room you say? I remember having to watch that movie in highschool, but I believe it was Harold Pinters'... not sure, but I think we're talking about the same movie. I remember it was INCREDIBLY vague and INCREDIBLY annoying to watch. Some woman was suddenly blind at the end and we were all like... wtf? o.O Does that sound familiar?

And you made Kuja bleed which is like: OMG :o

I never really liked Kuja anyway.

I honestly think he might have been a better bad guy if they had said he was a woman :p

Well I just bought myself a brand new laptop, but 150 hours?

That's something I want to bring up here instead of the Icon Mod thread where you mentioned about your new laptop. First of all, what are the specs of your laptop? Second, I can't believe your old computer was 10 years old. I thought it was bad enough when I was with the 4 year old (at the time) desktop which I used less when I got my laptop in 2008. That old computer was becoming horrendously slow and I wasn't sure how much longer I was able to tolerate it. That's why when I saw this laptop in the shops, I had to get it as soon as possible and it was one hell of a purchase.

I think my laptop would be good enough to play such games on them. And I'm pretty sure my old PC is 10 years old or at least close. Usually it is running smoothly (though not that fast), but every now and again it crashes and I gotta reinstall windows and everything. But now I'm getting errors that my video card is screwed so... I just had to buy something new.

Shit! We gotta stop that wedding!

I don't think he's planned it just yet so we still have time. The ones we need to worry the most are those in a relationship. As for me, I'm still a lonely dragon so I have hope.

Those in a relationship? No need to worry about me, I'll still be here.

I see. I thought he got popular on some other side first and then went to youtube to showcase his work (like Spoony).

Many people I know originally became popular on YouTube. However, with copyright bullshit and the way YouTube mistreat most of their users, they all had to go elsewhere. Good thing Blip.tv has a thing called common sense, unlike YouTube for the most part.

Oh yeah copyright issues. It's becoming a real problem on youtube, I encounter tonnes of dead links on their website nowadays. I understand they don't wanna get in trouble, but I believe they're not doing anything to defend their users. As soon as someone complains, BAM, your video is gone.

I don't want to be a robot. I'd like to keep my body intact and not have all this mecha support. Although, me and reverend recently talked about how icon mods work like robots...

I blame spancker. Now that's an old school user who hasn't been around here in ages. However, he's known to show up from out of nowhere but I'm sure it won't happen now. :P

First of all, I don't have a car. Second, my parents' car aren't fully compatible with MP3 Players. We have to use a cassette that runs a CD or MP3 Player, lol. That's their car, though so iPod it is.

I don't have a car neither. I don't even have a driver's licence. That's what you have friends for. :P

Only one friend of mine is able to drive. The rest, nope. I have no intentions to start driving until I'm in employment, which could be soon enough.

Megadeth's St. Anger. It's so bad it's horrible with the exception of Prince of Darkness. That's the only song I can tolerate on Megadeth's Risk. On the bright side, that's at least one good song rather than nothing since I cannot enjoy a single song on St. Anger.

You know my thoughts on St. Anger. :P

You like it... I'm sure you'll hate Risk, though and if not, God help me.

Also, they had a fucking trampoline on stage. But I didn't watch long enough to see what they did with it...

I heard about the trampoline acts on stage and that's downright silly. Play the damn music before even making any stunts.

No, I'm pretty sure mine's better than yours. :P I know the newer episodes suck for bad writing, horrible "humour" and continuity errors.

As if the earlier seasons didn't have continuity errors...

There may have been a few but I saw some of it as trying to make the character better. They may have not saw one thing working well so they forgot about it. As for the later seasons, the characters are fine as they are, why screw them up?

I can hardly think of any bad episodes from the old days. Sure, season 1 was primitive but that was just the beginning of the 20 minute episodes for the show. I still find them to be enjoyable.

I quickly forgot about the bad episodes, so I don't remember any now. But there where some really shitty ones.

The closest that comes to mind is All Singing, All Dancing.

Says the shitblade lover. :P

It's a good level icon, that's why I like it. The gauntlet is just meh.

You're forgetting something, the gauntlet kicked my ass on the NG Log flash. Oh wait, that was showing what will happen in the future. Too bad it became irrelevant as soon as Casualty handed it over to byteslinger. :P

That's all we need to say. They are the awesome nunchucks from the old levels but not as awesome as they used to be.

Yeah, also the old baseball bat was a lot better than the new one.

As well as the chains. Now they're just meh. I guess it's because they're low level icons rather than being high-ish.

However, we are friends and I am a very friendly dragon. People shouldn't believe what they read in stories about dragons being evil.

Yeah, everyone have to kill dragons in movies, books and tales. Really, dragons are awesome creatures. And dare you say not!

Video games and music also make dragons evil creatures. At least we have Spyro and Bahamut who show that dragons can serve for justice.

I've heard some crazy shit about this. Supposedly there's a server error and the two videos went down but then I heard they deliberately took them down as a joke.

Still down. And I believe it shouldn't be that hard to put that video back. They are joking with us. I'm almost going to YouTube to watch it.

I think it's become too severe to be even a joke now. If they are joking, they're giving Tommy Wiseau too much heatrash over nothing. I'm not sure when the review will be back up on TGWTG so just watch it on YouTube. Funny how Tommy Wiseau has yet to take down the videos of them on YouTube considering that site is a huge target for copyright infringement.

Also, Judas-Priest is available.

Tempting but no, I have enough accounts already!

Yeah, some servers have a class-limit which is actually good at times. It prevents class rushes so you wouldn't have seen the server consisting of nothing but Engineers and the odd Spy.

Yeah, although my favourite server doesn't have that. Oh well, I had a great time as a Spy, anyway. ^^

Most of my favourite servers don't have class limits (on normal games, that is) but I wouldn't mind faving a few of them. And yes, Spy during the Engineer rush was great.

As for me, I feel Soldier does a better job at taking down sentries in 2fort, although any with the Wrangler shield is a bitch to destroy. I feel Valve made the shield too powerful. It seems the only way to destroy a shielded sentry is by getting a Spy to backstab the Engineer. Personally, I'd like to see more balance here.

Indeed. I've been übered as a Heavy and I was right in front of the sentry, yet I couldn't take it down. I have yet to get the new engie weapons, though.

That's nothing new to me. I've been Heavy many times and trying to destroy sentries while ubered isn't always the solution. If it's close range, it's not bad but from a tad of a distance, not a good idea.

Because if there's only 4 people, you can get through the enemy base and grab the intel with ease. You can't expect that to happen in a game with 24 players.

Meh, usually when there aren't many people playing, we go for melee fights. We had organised Heavy boxing championships, achievement-whoring, dispensers and such. ^^

Speaking of melee fights, I highly recommend checking out some melee-only maps. I've been in Ringking and it's a lot of fun. Demoman with the axe is the shit in these games!

Fearsome to the General regulars, yes! >:)

Two words:

Mega

Flare.

They'll cry in fear from it but I'm sure even a spark of fire will scare them off.

Maybe so but we'll have triangles in heavy metal! Even Manowar should start experimenting with them.

Wait, I thought Coop was doing the vocals. Haggard can do the drums but we still need a bassist. Maybe reverend can take that spot?

You'll be saying I'm the vocals even more when you see what I have planned for the Karaoke :P

Hopefully you sing well because I doubt many will be able to sing for shit, especially me. I just dread to think what music will be played. I'm not much of a lyricist so I really am screwed.

Already going to cover it. Only a week on Friday now. Hopefully time flies and I'll be at the meet before I know it.

Yeah, just hope that the meet lasts a long time - otherwise time will fly and you'll be back home...

On the bright side, I'll be very very close to obtaining the scythe so there's something to look forward to after the meet.

That's another one who I really want to meet. I know it's not easy to get over here with a family and all but if it's possible, I'm looking forward to that moment. I'm still hoping there's a chance for Tom to attend the next meet whenever it's planned but again, I understand if he can't make it.

Wade just doesn't seem interested, but most of the staff have been across. Tom, Mike, Bob and Luis came across in January, dragging Poozy and The-Swain as well.

It's a shame about Wade's lack of interest in London. He was able to attend the NYC meet so why not give us Brits a chance? Ah well, maybe I could be lucky on Twitter and something will spark Wade's interest.

In that case, what does Wi/Ht? and C&C think?

Coop seems to make his daily LUL posts just fine and he's got a job and a girlfriend. Although, he does appear to be more organised than most of us.

He's got an office job. Those guys only work for 1 hour a day. The remaining 7 is checking emails, playing games (or go to NG), drinking coffee, talking with colleagues about that new secretary and avoiding your boss.

Wow really? That's what office people do? Not once have I touched NG while I've been working voluntarily.

You know what, I changed my mind. I'll just ship the DVDs to you instead. Hopefully the postmen know what I mean when I put down "The house with the big red X" on the parcel.

I'm sure he'll find it, send them over.

Good. You know, I thought of something else. Seeing you have this kickass laptop (SPECS PLZ), are you interested in Steam?

Let's see ehm...

You can choose between:
-My girlfriend

I believe she's a human, so I'll pass.

-My DVD collection

I don't even know what DVDs you have.

-My N64

I never had a N64 so this will be the greatest opportunity for me to catch up on the classics I missed out on. However...

-My tickets to the Manowar concert

Dammit, I've gotta see Manowar live!

Crossdressing dragons isn't possible which I think is a good thing. We decide who we are without even wearing anything. The most you'll see me wearing is shades and maybe a crown.

That purple pimpsuit you weared in ThePidgeonMasters vid was nice though ;)

That was only possible because I disguised myself as a human-like figure. <_<

The only way you'd see me calling myself Tiamat is a parallel universe form of me with the opposite gender. In that universe, Newgrounds users would commonly say "There are no men on the internet." Now THAT'S a mindfuck.

I see an idea coming up for you 100th flash submission ;)

To be honest, I don't know what I want to do with my 100th flash anymore.

I'm certainly not. I dread to think what she wanted to do with me exactly but I suppose I've got to prepare for the worst (or maybe the best) and fight for Wi/Ht.

Maybe you have to guard her treasure hoard. That wouldn't so bad, would it? Every dragon loves treasure.

I have lots of treasure as well but I'd love to see what she has.

Actually, there may have been a tutorial there but I never cared enough to find it. Funny how I can recall reading some basic rules on Tetra Master in Dali but not Treno.

Damn, I have forgotten where Dali was... *checks* That mountain village? I don't think I ever found anything explaining Tetra Master there and it wouldn't make much sense to explain it so early on in the game if you ask me.

It was actually in the shop opposite the inn. If you examined that place closer, you'll find some information on Tetra Master.

I heard II's level up system was terrible.

Yes, it is very bad! If it didn't suck so much, I would have had a better chance of getting through the game.

And yeah I really gotta play IV sometime. The DS version looked interesting.

If you've got balls of steel, play the DS remake. The PS1 port (maybe GBA as well) is the pussy version.

FUUUUUUUUCK! I really hate it when that happens. Oh well, hopefully you'll play FFVI again. It took me three tries to beat the game and it was well worth it.

Maybe someday I will pick it up again. It was such a shame because I was pretty far with teaching Celes and Terra all magic spells and I only needed one or two more espers before I had them all. After that I was planning to raid Kefka's castle.

I never really bothered with all the spells. All I needed later on was Ultima and multiple attacks.

Better trying to understand that than the whole of Tommy Wiseau's The Room. I still don't know what was the point of that film. The only points it gets is for being amusingly bad.

Wait... The Room you say? I remember having to watch that movie in highschool, but I believe it was Harold Pinters'... not sure, but I think we're talking about the same movie. I remember it was INCREDIBLY vague and INCREDIBLY annoying to watch. Some woman was suddenly blind at the end and we were all like... wtf? o.O Does that sound familiar?

Nope, The Room is that film Nostalgia Critic reviewed two weeks ago. It was taken down for copyright infringement, though but that's never happened to him outside of YouTube before.

I never really liked Kuja anyway.

I honestly think he might have been a better bad guy if they had said he was a woman :p

That might have made him slightly redeem himself.

I think my laptop would be good enough to play such games on them. And I'm pretty sure my old PC is 10 years old or at least close. Usually it is running smoothly (though not that fast), but every now and again it crashes and I gotta reinstall windows and everything. But now I'm getting errors that my video card is screwed so... I just had to buy something new.

Makes me wonder how much longer the old computer will last. The only person who uses it now is my dad and he doesn't care how slow it is. However, I still want the damn monitor replaced. It's so ugly.

I don't think he's planned it just yet so we still have time. The ones we need to worry the most are those in a relationship. As for me, I'm still a lonely dragon so I have hope.

Those in a relationship? No need to worry about me, I'll still be here.

We'll see about that. :P

Many people I know originally became popular on YouTube. However, with copyright bullshit and the way YouTube mistreat most of their users, they all had to go elsewhere. Good thing Blip.tv has a thing called common sense, unlike YouTube for the most part.

Oh yeah copyright issues. It's becoming a real problem on youtube, I encounter tonnes of dead links on their website nowadays. I understand they don't wanna get in trouble, but I believe they're not doing anything to defend their users. As soon as someone complains, BAM, your video is gone.

The copyright claims went so far out of hand that someone was abusing the DMCA claims and getting several channels suspended. I know one user on there whose videos are nothing but himself on camera and showing what's on his laptop. His videos had ZERO copyright footage but guess what? YouTube didn't check his goddamn videos and he was suspended. Luckily, he found a way to get his channel back up but it's still ridiculous.

When I look at the bullshit on YouTube, I do hope the site improves but on the other hand, if they keep digging that hole and eventually make the site entirely shit, at least I won't have anything to go there anymore. However, leaving YouTube isn't easy at all. I tried it once and I only came back a few months later. Not only that, there's far too many awesome Garry's Mod/TF2 videos to watch and I can't turn my back on them.

I could automate that too you know. I just gotta install a few robot arms. It would make your life so much easier.

Well, I've always wanted additional arms...

Either way, I'm already out of the World Cup mood. Internacional has a huge game this Wednesday in the Copa Libertadores semi-final, which is like your UEFA. First game is at home so we have to get some advantage for the next game!

Wait the Copa Libertadores semi-final is in July? I bet that must be tiring for some players if they've been to the world cup.

But yeah I'm also out of the World Cup mood. After the final people here got rid of their orange flags and such and nobody's talking about it anymore. I guess one full month of football is quite enough.

Never heard of that story, but I think I have heard other stories about players who got tortured or killed for playing poorly.

I've found him - Andrés Escobar. Give that a quick read.

So he got shot for an own goal? Shame the killer got 43 years of prison but was free after 11 because of good behavior.

I guess they're really serious about football in South-America, but I know there are lots of football fanatics in Europe too.

Football is the major sport here in South America, for most countries, at least. Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia... We take it with a real passion in here. And the Copa Libertadores is the main club tournament, so my team winning it again would be awesome. :)

Do you guys have anything like hooligans there (as in almost like a lifestyle)? And which was your favorite team again?

Yep. It's too bad for him, but hey, he'll get over it. I'm sure they'll give him another chance.

Speaking of which, our new coach was announced a few days ago, and announced the team that will face USA in New Jersey.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazil_nati onal_football_team#Players

Do you know anyone from there?

Woah, lots of new players I see. I know a few of them from the major European clubs, but with most of them I have no idea who they are. Interesting to see him come up with such a young and unexperienced team.

I expected a lot more from them, and it's kinda lame to win a cup while you've lost a match along the way. I wouldn't say that they didn't deserve to win the final as both teams were about equally matched, but over the entire tournament they were very disappointing.

Yeah, everyone had huge expectations over Spain, and they didn't do half of the expected, IMO.

Nope, but it was still good enough to win the cup apparently.

In Holland they were very angry with Howard Webb after the match, and rightfully so in my opinion. I bet it was the worst match in his referee career. He made big mistakes on both ends though, but I had a feeling he was stricter towards Holland than towards Spain.

I was mad at him as well. I don't even know why he was called to be the referee to the final match. His two previous matches weren't very good, they could've even called the Brazilian trio, which did quite well.

He also whistled Spain - Switzerland and I believe Spain was very mad at him after that match. Could be that he was trying to make up for it in the final, but to prevent that the FIFA should've never give him the lead.

And hey, Spain's goal? It came from that foul that hit a Spanish player, but they still had the ball after.

Spains goal seemed like a clean goal to me. There was lots of talk about offside, but apparently it wasn't offside.

Lol :p

Oh well, he's only a prophet. It's not his fault that things turn out the way he says.

Apparently, he's "a symbol of all that is wrong with the western world".

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnew s/europe/germany/7912418/Mahmoud-Ahmadin ejad-attacks-Octopus-Paul.html

Jeez, let the octopus have some fun! :P

Oh man... way to overact. As if he was looking for something to criticize the western world for.

Anyway, I think the media played a big influence on this tournament. You could see that there were some countries were the media was more than ready to burn down the team as soon as they were eliminated, and they were (Brazil, England, Italy). I don't know if it effected the performance of the team, but it does raise the pressure on them.

Dunga was already pretty mad at some journalists who asked some pretentious questions towards him. I'm not sure if that affected the way he coached, but it shows how the media influences it...

It probably did. And I can imagine pretentious questions are incredibly annoying for a coach.

True, but how fair would that be? Each continent has their number of spots in the world cup (excluding play-off matches), if we want to see more European countries or any other countries, they would have to change the qualifying system. otherwise, it would be unfair to those countries.

But it would be cool to have some "world groups" like qualifying method. Gather all the teams, split them in random groups... It would be expensive, but way more entertaining. :)

Yeah, like Honduras might have to battle against China, Norway, Egypt and Australia or something like that? That would be very interesting indeed and might even be more fair than the current system. At least then you'll know that the strongest teams are participating and not a bunch of weaker teams because they happened to be on a continent with only two or three countries.

I think they do have a point somewhere. The tournament might be more interesting with less little countries from non-football continents and more underdogs from Europe and SA. Although the diversity is nice too.

I could care less about the diversity, honestly. If those countries go to the cup just for "touring" around, then it isn't worth it. We want to always have a better cup, why not having better teams?

It wouldn't be fair to them, but we would love it. :P

Yeah... I can imagine countries like Honduras are mostly just there to have a holiday. They know they don't stand much of a chance, so why not make the most of it while they're there?

Oh yeah sorry. Londen is what we write in Holland, but it's pronounced about the same. So I confuse them sometimes.

Ah right. The same way we write and speak "Londres". There's even a city here called "Londrina", as a reference to "Londres". My aunt is from there, actually.
