Please, man. I will have a good rest after 18 years of getting in troubles (without even looking for them) and being at embarrassing situations in front of everybody. My life is like a mix of Kenan & Kel and Mr. Bean. I just hope you enjoy my life, because I know I will enjoy a good soap opera :P

Trust me, with some of the situations I've been through, you wouldn't believe me if I told you. I am writing it up so you'll be able to read at some point.

I'm assuming it was Wade. If I remember correctly he was playing as the Heat. It was a joke that he took way to seriously and it made me upset that he got upset about it. I went to walk away and got sucker punched.

Damn. I would have sided with them if it was Melo, but that's low, sucker punching someone for a joke.

Should. Now every pitcher isn't worried about being the one to give up the 600th to him.

But he didn't do too well last night. 1-4 with an RBI. *sticks Scutaro back in lineup*

Thanks Fro! Now we're winning.

But Coop cheated and had someone voted who doesn't even frequently visit the forum. I call that her vote doesn't count. Even though we are still losing because Hacsev voted for review mods as well.

Wait, with which account? I count ThePidgeonmaster, Haggard, reverend, Hacsev and RohanTheBarbarian voting for review mods.

I'm sure Coop is cheating anyway though, so if the review mods win it'll be an invalid victory.

Hold on a second... that's 5 accounts voting for Review Mods. Plus a vote from Coop83 and a vote from EchoRun (Bex) and we get to 7!

REVIEW MODS WIN!

Gagsy already voted for us so we got the majority of the votes anyway.

Oh, well I understand. This will be only for wi/ht users both members AND regulars :P

Yep, hence why the review mods haven't won yet which I'm about to tell Coop (who thinks he's won).

Yep, I think you're the only Wi/Ht?er that does a medical studies. Not sure what everyone does here actually. I know Coop has an office job and Haggard does some things with companies and computers

Don't forget Bahamut. Although I think I remember he said it was a temporal job.

Yeah, but I didn't know what kind of job he had until I just checked his blog.

but for the rest...

I literally laughed. Sorry guys, I know getting a job these days is hard as fuck, but Haggard just made it sound funny. Maybe even if he didn't want to ;)

Haggard?

No but seriously, I have no idea what most of you guys do in real life. I know some might still be studying like me and some have jobs, but that's about all I know =/

Let me copy and paste...

Posted: 07/31/10 06:03 AM

Icon mods look so sexy, IMO. I wish I could be one of them in my hopes on looking sexy in newgrounds :3

So my vote goes for the icon mods.

Oh yeah you're right. If I remember correctly it was TehSlapHappy who voted for review mods. Wait, is he even a Wi/Ht? reg?

Awesome! Good luck on that.

Hey, I'm still studying, so no real job for me. However, I have a side job since last week, where I do some data acquisition. It can be pretty boring, but at least I get payed for it. ^^

Thanks for the explanation. I'm a complete n00b when it comes to these things :(

I just happen to study this kind of stuff, so... ^^

Yeah I guess that helps.

Sometimes it makes you wonder: Things that are "common knowledge" for me seem to impress other people and they say: "Oh, you are quite good with computers". >_>

I simply got no talent for computer stuff. I learn a few mathematical programs at my studies, but I just suck at it apparently. I'm not that interested in learning them either so meh...

But at least you know how to turn it on and off. ;)

Good lineup, but the guy playing the drums is shitty.

He's the best drummer we could find :p

I bet Angelo Sasso is willing to help out. :P

I know, let's use a band name generator! I'll just type in the word dragon, cause we gotta have dragon in our band name. Let's see...
Southern Dragon And The Rejected Secret

I vote for this.

Bahamut demands a different name =/

Well, then just change the word "Dragon" to something else. Or add a "slayer" at the end of the word. ^^
How about "Southern Comfort and the Rejected Secret"?

The wi/ht needs its own doctor, haha.

I wish you good luck. I only got into university because I already racked up 10 (or even more?) terms of waiting... ^^

Thanks, my dear sir. By the way, What are you studying or studied? :P

Business Informatics. And I still study it. ;)

Also, my gf IS a doctor, so if all else fails and you don't get into med school (which I hope won't happen, of course) at least the wi/ht isn't completly without medical support. ;)

Hahaha, well, at least the wi/ht has somebody to call for any emergency :P
But I would be The Pigeon Master AND the doctor of the wi/ht :P

But wouldn't it be more appropriate if you'd study veterinary medicine? XD

I literally laughed. Sorry guys, I know getting a job these days is hard as fuck, but Haggard just made it sound funny. Maybe even if he didn't want to ;)

Why me? Don't confuse me with Auz, man! :P

Oh yeah, bragging time !
Just got 10k medal points, much more fun than B/P or Exp ^^

Hum, makes me think, shouldn't that stat be added to the 10k list thingy ? I mean, it's obviously the easiest one to get, but it would make some sense to put it there wouldn't it ?

IIRC it was agreed that it'd be done on the basis of overall medal count, so as opposed to counting 10k medal points on the pentalist (or hexalist with the inclusion of medals?) it counts 10k overall medals.

I dunno if there are even 10k medals ON Newgrounds at the moment, but I'm sure there will be at some point in the future.

Hum, it seems kinda unbalanced to me. It will always be harder to get a medal than to get a B/P, exp, post or review :P

At 8/7/10 12:29 PM, Myst wrote: Hum, it seems kinda unbalanced to me. It will always be harder to get a medal than to get a B/P, exp, post or review :P

We already had long discussions about this in some other thread (I guess it was in the Pentalist thread ^^). The thing with medals is, that there are some medals that count 100 points, some count 50 points, some only 10... as opposed to posts, reviews, etc. that always count only 1 point to your total stats.
Also, broken medals are a problem (those 0 point medals) etc. . And, it's relatively easy to reach 10k medal points, but it's hard work to reach 10k saves, blams, whatever.

Since I'm about to achieve all three of these and I don't wanna waste three separate posts on all of them: Happy 3,000 saves, 1,000 blams, and B/P rank of corporal to me!

Only the big brands I guess. Smirnoff, Bacardi, Malibu, Passoa, Jack Daniels, Baileys, Jagermeister and shitloads of this. Mind you, I live in a village with only 4,000 inhabitants, so the fact that we got a decent supermarket with liquor store is already quite something. Of course I could go to Rotterdam, but going to check if they got a certain bottle of booze would be a waste of time and money.

Yeah that's a pretty thin assortment. I guess the next time in Rotterdam take a look around for them and give them a try.

Yeah I get the point, 10k medal points would've been just as unbalanced as 10k medals IMO. Still, I don't think the second is a better solution. Well, I trust you've already rounded it up as you said, I'll just leave it be :P

At night, my parents and I, are going to dinner at a chinese food restaurant.

Business Informatics. And I still study it. ;)

Kudos to all the people that want a career related with computers and administration. I personally like computer engineering, but I prefer studying a medicine since I would like to help people.

But wouldn't it be more appropriate if you'd study veterinary medicine? XD

Past 9,000 in experience ranks. Outstanding!

A very nice level up indeed!

I am now level 31 (gotta love that meat cleaver) - AND.... I just reached 10,000 Experience points!

Finally! I can now be "triple listed" in the pentalist pages:

- 10K + blams
- 46K + saves

Drunk enough to miss the last train, but bussing it and then walking through town was enough to sober up. 11.28am is far too early to be drunk.

Although the jury suspects that an invalid has been casted on the Review Mods. If this turns out to be true, the review mods will receive a one point penalty.

You're just making the rules up as you go along! I'll abandon the legal challenge and we'll build up a political backlash, as you plough on with increasingly silly policies.

Aha so we're gonna play it that way eh!?

Well no matter how this ends, we won anyway. I've heard from a very reliable source that Bahamut was hugged by Gagsy numerous times during his stay in London which can only indicate that Icon Mods have more sex appeal than Review Mods.

I think that it would be much better with 10,000 Medals. If they made a stat for that, we'd be laughing. Thank god that byteslinger's NG Logs has a stat for number of medals :D

I've actually grown against the idea of adding medals to the pentalist, no matter if it's medal points or number of medals.

I just think the medal system has become a bit of a joke at some point and if medals are gonna be made public I can only imagine it getting worse.

Well, if you can convince Bahamut to include medal points into the penta- (then hexa-) list, then go ahead.
Bahamut currently runs the list, so it's up to him to decide which stat should be included. ^^

Business Informatics. And I still study it. ;)

Kudos to all the people that want a career related with computers and administration. I personally like computer engineering, but I prefer studying a medicine since I would like to help people.

Business informatics isn't so much about administrating computers. More like, getting the software to run and tell programmers which part of their programm they should change around. ^^

But wouldn't it be more appropriate if you'd study veterinary medicine? XD

Would be cool, but here, a vet doesn't survive economically AND I will get bored after a while.

Judging by my age doesn't work too well, as I didn't start studying until I was 24. :P
But yes, it shouldn't be too long until I'm finished.

I simply got no talent for computer stuff. I learn a few mathematical programs at my studies, but I just suck at it apparently. I'm not that interested in learning them either so meh...

But at least you know how to turn it on and off. ;)

As long as I can still get on the internet with it and keep it virusfree I'm happy.

Some people don't even know how to do that. ^^

Lol. Are you suggesting we should use a computer? I'm okay with that if you can at least put up a show like this. Just make it look awesome and you won't have to drum for real.

Don't disrespect Angelo Sasso! >:(
Also, I will never be as awesome as Steve Moore, no matter how hard I try.

Bahamut demands a different name =/

Well, then just change the word "Dragon" to something else. Or add a "slayer" at the end of the word. ^^
How about "Southern Comfort and the Rejected Secret"?

Hmm perhaps.

Don't you know any cool German metal terms? I'm sure if we had a German bandname, it'd sound 10x more awesome. Even if it meant "the pink, fluffy bunny rabbits".

I'm not sure what you mean with "metal terms", but "The Pink, Fluffy Bunny Rabbits" would be "Die Pinken, Fluffigen Häschenkarnickel" in german. May sound awesome to some, but we'd make an ass out of ourselves in Germany. And Germany has a very large metal community, so that wouldn't be a smart move.

But maybe we can mix some german and dutch words? We need a name that contains lots of swear words like "fuck" and "piss" and then we translate the words into dutch and german and decide which sounds more hardcore.

I'm back from the meet! Although the meet is still going on right now with some people seeing each other on the Sunday, I thought the two days were good enough for my first time. Incidentally, I wrote a news post about my time with the NGers.

Hm, so we could have a quick meet up in London when I'm going from Heathrow Airport to Gatwick on the 20th. >_>

That might work but maybe we'll wait until the next London meet. :P

Well, let's do it ironically - Go with the Dungeons and Dragons link and therefore centre the name around a dungeon. THE RACK, for example, since the Iron Maiden is already taken.

I was hoping for a name that's Wi/Ht? related and luckily Auz has some good ideas in mind.

It only makes the 77k path more interesting. I'd give you something special for passing me but I was hoping it'd be a certificate saying "Congratulations Coop for passing Bahamut in B/P!" and I haven't made it in time.

To be fair, at 91 behind, I doubt I'll be able to squeak past before the weekend is out. Maybe before you update on Monday. Taking a mobile internet device with me on the train should help :P

19 left as I'm typing this!!

Like I said, my sister should know where the Namco is if I have to go straight there. However, I'd rather see you all at the London Eye, although getting there from my sister's flat to there will be a bit of a task. I think we'll need to get three trains rather than the usual two to get to our desired locations.

At least the weather should be good - grey cloud, with sunny intervals from 1600 onwards.

To be honest, that's the only song that I like from them. However I haven't listened all of their songs, yet.

The music isn't really my department but hopefully you can hear more good stuff from them.

All will fear my giant new pigeon doctor!

That video made my night, lmao.

Yeah, they won't be able to sleep for days. I'll do what it takes to protect the young.

I think you would be such a good father. Thinking in protect your kids when they arrive is a signal of that :P

Which is funny since I didn't want MY parents to protect me from this site. Well, when I joined at the age of 14, that is. However, we're talking about 5 year old dragons on this site which is a completely different story.

I wonder how they would name their accounts if they decide to join Newgrounds, when they get the enough age to be here.

We'll find out once they sign up.

And now they've announced the sequel will be called Arkham City, which tbh sounds stupid to me. I know the inmates of Arkham have overrun Gotham, I don't argue it makes sense, it just doesn't sound "right". Probably just me.

Actually, I prefer the name Arkham City over Arkham Asylum 2. The original title suggested it still takes place in Arkham Asylum which it clearly doesn't so Arkham City is more fitting.

Still if it's half as awesome as Asylum I will be pleased. Mark Hamill will be voicing Joker for his final time, and Mr. Freeze will be in it.

BTW, I think I gave Coop a WHIPLASH at the Dodgems yesterday.

Who the hell is this Bex everybody is talking about? The only Bex I can find on NG is some girl who signed up in 2002 and never did anything. Am I missing something here?

Real names are cool.

I tried convincing her and she keeps saying no.

You just gotta let her know that it's okay and nobody will think less of her. Make her feel comfortable about it and all.

It's not that it's OK, she refuses to leave General behind.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! I really am fucked here.

Doesn't matter, you made the right decision by voting for the icon mods.

But not if it suggests I'm a pedophile.

I already stated my reasons.

I meant it more like: why ARE you still dwelling on Vista? Change to 7 already!

Money and back-up needed.

Don't worry, I'll take good care of it, especially when the previous owner was yourself.

Well that's sort of comforting, but still... are you gonna erase all my save files? :'(

I may have to do that if it's the only way for me to play some of the games.

Hahahahahahaha!

It's a... uh... really good game! A very unique experience, totally different from the other Sims games! You GOTTA try this one out!

But it's THE SIMS on a FUCKING CONSOLE!

I certainly hope not. It's bad enough when people treat us as evil creatures. You're not like them, right?

Nope, I treat dragons as awesome creatures that tend to burn down major cities if they feel like it.

Good, that's what I like to hear! We'll only burn down major cities if it's necessary.

Leaving the General forum? Haha, you've returned there now! I've kinda been there all the time but I had periods where I avoided it. However, I feel the state of the forum now is better than in 2007 and 2008.

Yeah I kinda did I suppose. Hence why my posts per day count is increasing so rapidly.

I should have fallen below 10 PPD by now but the three other forums (C&C, VG and General) are better than usual recently. Infact, I wasn't expecting to reach 22k posts until well after getting the scythe. I love how wrong I was back then.

Yeah, my sister's fiance bought it and I'll borrow it when I'm ready. I won't borrow it until I've beaten all the PS3 games I have right now.

How many is that still?

Just one but I'll be playing Assassin's Creed II next and then Resident Evil 5, which is the one game I'm still borrowing from her.

I heard Yiazmat in FFXII took 2 hours. Yeah, it's ridiculous.

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about. Wasn't there some story that that boss took so long at first that some gamers literally played themselves to death because the fight took like 50 hours or so? I know that story is probably bullshit, but I was willing to believe the part that they gave the boss much less HP at some point because the fight took way too long for most gamers (which was unhealthy for them).

I believe someone got really addicted to Everquest and played 50 hours straight without food or anything. This happened years ago so it's old news.

Nope, I believe there's still legal troubles over the review, even though a few mirrored it on YouTube.

Oh well in that case Tommy can forget it. He's probably not gonna get that review off youtube, no matter how hard he tries.

Have you forgotten? YouTube is vulnerable to copyright claims.

Spoony dressed up as Tommy? I can't believe I missed that. The only videos of his I've seen recently are from the Ultima retrospective.

It was in his movie review for Mazes and Monsters. Joke begins at around 20:45, ends at 22:03.

Now I've got to see that part.

Oh yes, reverend was the bass man. I say we got a pretty solid line up there. Coop, start writing some songs!

I like.

The first step would be to take over the site. You seem very interested in taking over Newgrounds so why don't you come up with some plans?
