100 per day is a stretch for me and 150 is just insane. After 70, I start to lose focus, but if he can do it consistently without losing his sanity, then more power to him. :)

It just depends how they are with the rest of the site. I heard they might take another 12 months to finish it but it'll all be worth it and I don't mind making icons as long as I can. As long as the others are hard at work as well and will get all the icons done eventually, I'm good.

Do you know what the scope of the redesign is? I've always assume that it was just more geared to the Portals (Flash, Art, Audio and Lit) and not inclusive to the BBS. Do you know if it's everything?

But the shirt was only part of the human disguise.

So the skin was attached to the shirt? What?

Actually, the hub page is a better place to find pictures

I'll check there too after I finish 123bee. A celebratory pic.

Yeah, I've got so many players on the short-term DL, it looks like I should drop one or two of them...

Rodriguez
Niemann
Silva
Pettitte

That's the problem - some of them should be back in a week or so, otherwise, they're just clogging up my bench...

Pettitte can go, Rodriguez can stay, toss up for Niemann and Silva.

You mean the Headcases one? Lol, yeah I heard it was kinda lame like that. Old action heroes being old. Jet Li and Mickey Rourke being the only ones with a good role I heard, but they didn't get that much screentime. Or not enough.

Ah, I might have to watch it then. And not just on DVD...

Well I went to see it at the cinema yesterday. I'd say the movie is not as awesome as the cast makes it seem to be, but you still get what you pay for. Which is long action scenes, random explosions and a funny joke here and there.

Still, you're probably not missing much if you decide not to go and see it.

I would've expected Jason Statham would do well (actually he was my only hope that this movie would actually turn out to be good, instead of a B movie action flick thing), but I've heard nothing of him.

The only thing I know Statham for is knobbing Kelly Brook a few years back.

You need to go watch Snatch. then. Seriously, it's a brilliant movie with Jason Statham. It also features Brad Pitt (as a boxing pikey), Vinnie Jones and some other British bastards.

I think you will also like Crank.

Too bad Jean Claude van Damme passed for The Expandables. He could've saved the movie! (well, I heard he is playing in some decent movies lately)

Yeah, like this movie could have been saved by a man like Van Damme.

I'm convinced he could have!

No not really, although this movie might have worked better with B actors.

In any case, this needs to be redone because this idea is just too awesome. Next time they gotta bring in guys like Vinnie Jones and Clint Eastwood as well. And let it be written by Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarentino.

Or just gas the lot of them?

Like... put em in a gas chamber?

No way man. That'd be a disaster for everything that's awesome in Hollywood.

Yes. I think I have almost convinced my gf to make an account.

Almost? Sounds like you didn't try hard enough to get her on here. :P

I tried hard, but it shouldn't feel like I'm forcing her. Anyway, she seems interested in a lot of games people upload here and she might like to collect medals. She's a bit intimidated by the forum though, cause people post so many sexual/edgy/weird topics in the general forum.

But that takes aaaaages. Unless I do the 5 minute speedrun, but I can't do that long jump trick :(

Just get all the stars again to pass the time.

But I got better things to do! My to-do list is probably longer than my list of tracks in I-tunes at the moment.

I had one for a while, but it actually belonged to some friends of mine. They didn't play that much anymore though and it stood in their way, so I took it from them for a couple of months.

So that's how you were able to play those Wii games you said you played.

Yep! It was only Mariokart, Brawl and Wii Sports though. Oh and Wii Play (which SUUUUUCKS).

Last week I also played Guitar Hero for the first time.

Anyway, I guess I could do that, but meh... I don't know, I think I enjoy classic games more. Somehow I got the feeling that they don't make that many platformer/adventure games anymore, which is my favorite genre.

Besides Mario, platformers aren't doing very well these days. There are good indie platformers out there but the genre as a whole isn't dominating the gaming industry like it used to.

Nope which is too bad. It was at its prime during the N64 and Playstation era, but it sort of died when Rare moved to Microsoft. I wouldn't say that that's the only thing that caused it, but I think it did play a big role.

Again, imagine all the awesome stuff you could instead in that amount of time.

Yeah, like making icons and helping out for the future of Newgrounds.

Yes, or... doing things you put on your to-do list. Like jumping a burning motorcycle through a hoop made of black mamba's. Stuff like that.

Oh and she will! I bet she's secretly got an eye on Coop and is pulling that old 'make him jealous by dating his friend' trick.

She did have some interest in Slappy a while ago but I made sure she only had one true love which was me.

You mean SlapHappy? Well just as easy as she turned her back to Slappy, she can turn her back to you.

Damn. Oh well, we're just gonna take over the audio portal fair and square then. By being as epic as Queen!

If that's even possible.

Yeah, I don't know if Coop will be as good as a frontman as Freddy Mercury was.

Then we'll take over the hitcharts in the UK and USA, kicking those attention whores like Lady GaGa and Justin Beiber out.

Finally we can do something about these "artists".

Yeah it's about time somebody does something. This attention-whoring bullshit has gone on for too long.

Fortunately I don't think I have to think about that. I believe I just got a major project at the end of my third year that's suppose to require all of my knowledge. No need to think about a thesis or anything.

Heh, luckily I don't have a compulsory attendance for lectures. If so, I might have quit my studies some time ago cause listening to all those boring ass lectures that cover 10 lines of text in 2 hours would've driven me crazy.

Or lectures that cover three whole books in 10 minutes. Those are shitty as well.

Oh I don't think I ever got those. Generally we only have one book per course and we seldom ever use it anyway. That's why I stopped buying books this year, cause I'm not gonna pay $50 for something that's still in plastic after I've finished the course.

Brilliant sketch by one of Hollands finest comedian groups. I don't think you can follow it though.

Nope. I could only understand a few words here and there.
But once again I am amazed how any dutch person can say "german is a hard language" while dutch sounds much harder (at least to me ^^).

I know dutch is hard cause a lot of grammar rules don't make sense and have tons of exceptions.

But I believe German grammar is actually very similar. Why we might call it hard is because we have to learn the German grammar well in our schools while for the subject 'dutch' we don't have to do all that. We mostly get text interpreting, which I guess is why dutch people make so many mistakes in their own grammar.

Maybe not. It doesn't really sound like a dutch word anyway, more like something people from Aruba brought over.

Until now I didn't even know that a place called "Aruba" even exists. XD

=/

Never heard of Bonaire and Curacao either I assume?

The LL? Lol.

Yep. You can see it in names like "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwll llantysiliogogogoch" (I bet NG puts some spaces in there). XD

Funny. Whenever I hear the name "Barclay" I think of something to drink first. Propably becuase of "Baileys".

Turns out there was a minor error on their end. My mum told me someone else was having the same problem around the same time I tried to draw money. I drew cash later on with no troubles. Ah well, I'm just glad I was able to get money in the end.

This always sucks. It sucks even more if the only ATM around doesn't work and the bank has already closed.

Yes, the intro of Final Frontier is great as well, but not as great as At The Edge of Time's intro.

Of course not, Sacred Worlds is beyond awesome. However, do you have any thoughts on The Green and Black?

I don't know it, I don't like Overkill too much.

Or others just don't look at such awesome things I (have to) look at.

Or the others aren't unlucky like you are. :P

They are unlucky because they don't get to see the awesome things I get to see.

Well it's not like I am completly lost about my thesis, the problem is: The professors that do the stuff I'm most interested in are about to retire...

Or lectures that cover three whole books in 10 minutes. Those are shitty as well.

Oh I don't think I ever got those. Generally we only have one book per course and we seldom ever use it anyway. That's why I stopped buying books this year, cause I'm not gonna pay $50 for something that's still in plastic after I've finished the course.

I once had a lecture that was held by three different profs. And I had to buy 3 different books. In the end I didn't take the test because it was way too much to study. The results proved me right: only 17%(!!!) off all those who took the test passed.

Especially maths is well known to have very fast professors. One is renowed for his "additional scripts". The script he gives out in the very first lecture only lasts for about half of the semester. ^^

But yeah, I will never understand why those books I need for my lectures have to be so expensive.
For economics the recommended book ("without it you will not be able to pass the test!" the professor said, well fuck you, I did!) costs around 100EU! I didn't buy it.

I know dutch is hard cause a lot of grammar rules don't make sense and have tons of exceptions.

I was more referring to the sound of the language. German is often called a "hard language" because of all the "ch", "k" and other "hard" sounds. I heard dutch people "complaining" that german sounds hard and when they where talking in dutch I thought: "Well, YOUR language doesn't sound any softer..."

But I believe German grammar is actually very similar. Why we might call it hard is because we have to learn the German grammar well in our schools while for the subject 'dutch' we don't have to do all that. We mostly get text interpreting, which I guess is why dutch people make so many mistakes in their own grammar.

To be honest: I suck at grammar. In every language I am able or was once able (french) to speak.
For me it's more like a "feeling": "Oh yeah, this sounds good, so it has to be right."
Luckily most of the time I'm right. XD

Maybe not. It doesn't really sound like a dutch word anyway, more like something people from Aruba brought over.

Until now I didn't even know that a place called "Aruba" even exists. XD

Heh, isn't that the longest town name in the world?

Yeah, with 58 letters it is the longest. And I just read it has a twinning agreement with "Ee" (Netherlands) and "Y" (France). ^^

Also interesting: The official name of Bangkok is: "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit"

I still play a bit of Mario Kart Wii and Brawl but only when I'm playing games with my friends. However, even then I get a bit tired of Brawl. I was hoping they'd have some interest in LittleBigPlanet but they lost interest due to bad levels and just played games on the Wii.

The other Wii games I've played are Metroid Prime 3 (didn't get far), Zelda: Twilight Princess (was enjoying it up until some stupid fishing quest), Guitar Hero III, Tomb Raider Underworld (fucking blows on the Wii), Mega Man 9 and Wii Fit (I'd rather forget I played this).

Last week I also played Guitar Hero for the first time.

I've not played Guitar Hero for over a year now. I might break that but I'm unsure what to do if I ever get back to these games. Not sure if forking out over £150 is worth it. Hell, I could get a fucking 360 with that money!

* You might know that the cup final is on Wednesday evening, so I've got a chance of being on a cup winning side. In the league, Bridgenorth lost against Coseley, so we were tied on points with them, entering yesterday's game. We beat Belbroughton and if Bridgnorth beat the bottom team in the league, we'll be back to square one... with a twist.

You see, we have one game left this season - yesterday was Bridgnorth's last game. If we win, or the match is abandoned, we'll beat them on points. Other than that, we should be able to hopefully beat them with the tie-breaker, which is the number of wickets taken. I think I've helped toward that this year, whoch would be awesome.

Well I went to see it at the cinema yesterday. I'd say the movie is not as awesome as the cast makes it seem to be, but you still get what you pay for. Which is long action scenes, random explosions and a funny joke here and there.

Still, you're probably not missing much if you decide not to go and see it.

I might just have to watch it then.

I would've expected Jason Statham would do well (actually he was my only hope that this movie would actually turn out to be good, instead of a B movie action flick thing), but I've heard nothing of him.

The only thing I know Statham for is knobbing Kelly Brook a few years back.

You need to go watch Snatch. then. Seriously, it's a brilliant movie with Jason Statham. It also features Brad Pitt (as a boxing pikey), Vinnie Jones and some other British bastards.

I've heard of it - I just never got to watching it.

Too bad Jean Claude van Damme passed for The Expandables. He could've saved the movie! (well, I heard he is playing in some decent movies lately)

Yeah, like this movie could have been saved by a man like Van Damme.

I'm convinced he could have!

I think we should agree to disagree here :P

No not really, although this movie might have worked better with B actors.

In any case, this needs to be redone because this idea is just too awesome. Next time they gotta bring in guys like Vinnie Jones and Clint Eastwood as well. And let it be written by Robert Rodriguez or Quentin Tarentino.

Or just gas the lot of them?

Like... put em in a gas chamber?

No way man. That'd be a disaster for everything that's awesome in Hollywood.

We'd still have Michael Bay - hell, if we ignite the gas...

So the stories that I missed last time because I didn't have time.

I was working the cash register when a very nervous and indecisive man came to buy a 4 dollar shirt. He pulled out a wad of money that was mostly twenties, fifties, and one hundreds. He preceded to hand me a 100 dollar bill and I went to give him change back. He says never mind, I have the four ones. I give him the 100 dollar bill back and he gave me another 100 dollar bill and the 4 ones back and asked for change for the 100.

I gave him 5 twenties back and he argued that I owed him another 5 twenties because I never gave him the original 100 back. I told him I did and he was only getting the 5 twenties. He couldn't talk straight, started to sweat, and finally figured that he couldn't trick me into giving him more money back.

Man number 2 an hour later.

He goes to buy a 5 dollar gift card and then starts to talk about kids. "Kids, do you have any? Are you married? Well let me tell you what, etc.., etc..."

He hands me a fifty dollar bill so I give him two 20's and 5 back. He then very quickly pockets the twenties and pulls out two one dollar bills. I never actually say it happen, but I knew that I gave him the two twenties and the five. He started to get angry that I only gave him 7 dollars back instead of the 45 and he was really smooth so I decided to be smooth about it as well.

"Sir what exactly do you need to buy a five dollar gift card for? And why in the world would you use a fifty dollar bill for it? You have two choices. You can stand your ground and I'll call security and a manager to come over and count the register or you can keep the two twenties that you put in your pocket and leave with your dignity."

He said the forty dollars weren't worth it and left.

I can never seem to stick to a workout regime aside from fitting in a 3 mile walk around once a day, and of course depositing my experience on the Interwebs.

The three mile walk is inevitable while at college. Especially since I'll live half a mile away from campus and all of the stairs that I have to go up and down all day... I'm not too excited for it all.

I believe the longest I've ever stuck with a routine was for around 8 months, and that was back when I was 15.

That's pretty good though. I usually mess it up by the second week when I don't feel like going to the gym. I'm going to really try and commit to it this time though as I want to play some semi-pro football next summer.

Hopefully all 160 of them are just the letter B to make it easier to do.

I know the flash portal will have a few new things but I'm unsure about the other departments. I doubt we'll have the Lit Portal when the redesign is launched.

I know Tom mentioned the Art Reviews will be fully functional and searchable and I don't see anything major done to the Art Portal since it's pretty new. It'll be interesting to see what they will do with the Audio Portal; it needs some work to say the least.

Uhh, this is getting awkward. Still, I shouldn't have been wearing that shirt if you're seeing my dragon persona.

So you would be roaming around London with your sword hanging out?
If I have some free time I'll go back and fix the last one and the one below.

Oh man, I can't believe how quickly you went through his flashes. That was like 320 flashes of crap. At least the Star Syndicate have some quality submissions.

They weren't all too bad, they were all just generic. Maze Game Play XX, XXXX Escape, etc. it just never ends. 123peppy was worse, since it was geared to 10 year old girls and there were tons of cooking and add makeup to a celebrity games.

Anywho, there are all done now and it time to move on to games2dress and others like it after a short break.

Yeah, that is always a bugger. When I was buying The Young Ones on DVD today, I feared my bank account was going to go haywire again. :P

Wehn my card was damaged (it hat a crack where the magnetic strip was, not sure how this could happen) I couldn't use it to pay at cash registers but I could draw money from ATMs without any problems. That was really strange.

Of course not, Sacred Worlds is beyond awesome. However, do you have any thoughts on The Green and Black?

I don't know it, I don't like Overkill too much.

I'm not a big fan of them either but their latest album was really good. Probably better than their classics. Give it a listen and see what you think.

I have to listen to it later.
I saw Overkill live once, but it was way too loud, so I left after only a few minutes.

Or the others aren't unlucky like you are. :P

They are unlucky because they don't get to see the awesome things I get to see.

No, they're lucky because they don't get their monitors exploding all the time.

Fortunately I don't think I have to think about that. I believe I just got a major project at the end of my third year that's suppose to require all of my knowledge. No need to think about a thesis or anything.

Well it's not like I am completly lost about my thesis, the problem is: The professors that do the stuff I'm most interested in are about to retire...

Well that sucks. Now it takes longer and you can't even do anything about it.

Oh I don't think I ever got those. Generally we only have one book per course and we seldom ever use it anyway. That's why I stopped buying books this year, cause I'm not gonna pay $50 for something that's still in plastic after I've finished the course.

I once had a lecture that was held by three different profs. And I had to buy 3 different books. In the end I didn't take the test because it was way too much to study. The results proved me right: only 17%(!!!) off all those who took the test passed.

Jeez that's really low. I know my study is pretty difficult and generally only around 50% passes a test the first time. On the more difficult subjects it's even less, but I don't think I've never heard of an exam where only 17% passed.

Actually if that happened, I think some special rules come into play because the pass percentage is too low. Like extra resits or something.

But yeah, I will never understand why those books I need for my lectures have to be so expensive.
For economics the recommended book ("without it you will not be able to pass the test!" the professor said, well fuck you, I did!) costs around 100EU! I didn't buy it.

Yeah all my first year books costed over 400 euros in total. It were about 8 books I think and half of them have barely been touched. It's crazy how expensive those books are and it's just a shame that you hardly need them. Sometimes I wanna look up a formula or something, but even then I can find them much easier on the internet.

I know dutch is hard cause a lot of grammar rules don't make sense and have tons of exceptions.

I was more referring to the sound of the language. German is often called a "hard language" because of all the "ch", "k" and other "hard" sounds. I heard dutch people "complaining" that german sounds hard and when they where talking in dutch I thought: "Well, YOUR language doesn't sound any softer..."

Oh like that. Well I think German is a harder language than Dutch, but maybe it's because Dutch people usually have a bit of a modest tone when they're talking.

But I believe German grammar is actually very similar. Why we might call it hard is because we have to learn the German grammar well in our schools while for the subject 'dutch' we don't have to do all that. We mostly get text interpreting, which I guess is why dutch people make so many mistakes in their own grammar.

To be honest: I suck at grammar. In every language I am able or was once able (french) to speak.
For me it's more like a "feeling": "Oh yeah, this sounds good, so it has to be right."
Luckily most of the time I'm right. XD

Well for me too, but it only works in English and Dutch because I have no ear for if something sounds right in French and German.

=/

Never heard of Bonaire and Curacao either I assume?

Nope. I know however the "Lesser Antilles", even though I didn't really know where they where located until I looked it up.

I believe Bonaire and Curacao are part of the Dutch Antilles which is a part of the Lesser Antilles. Not sure though, my topography isn't that good anymore.

Heh, isn't that the longest town name in the world?

Yeah, with 58 letters it is the longest. And I just read it has a twinning agreement with "Ee" (Netherlands) and "Y" (France). ^^

Also interesting: The official name of Bangkok is: "Krung Thep Mahanakhon Amon Rattanakosin Mahinthara Yuthaya Mahadilok Phop Noppharat Ratchathani Burirom Udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amon Phiman Awatan Sathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam Prasit"

Oh yeah I read that in the paper some time ago. I guessed it must translate to something like: City of blablalblalblalblalblabala.

Still doesn't ring any bells, but I assume that show is gonna be broadcasted on TV here someday. Just like any show from America and the UK is always broadcasted a couple of years later here.

She's a bit intimidated by the forum though, cause people post so many sexual/edgy/weird topics in the general forum.

Haha, that will be fun. Just tell her to avoid General forum like the plague. However, there's still the talks about sexual dragon fantasies in this thread...

I already told her about how General sucks and which forums are okay. Still though, I don't know if there's anything interesting for her in the Wi/Ht? (I don't think she'll be that much of a statwhore) and the only club she might join is the Vegetarian Community.

But I got better things to do! My to-do list is probably longer than my list of tracks in I-tunes at the moment.

You plan to do that if you come back from the dead?

YEAH!

No actually I should do all that before I die. Not much chance I will really come back from the dead.

Yep! It was only Mariokart, Brawl and Wii Sports though. Oh and Wii Play (which SUUUUUCKS).

I still play a bit of Mario Kart Wii and Brawl but only when I'm playing games with my friends. However, even then I get a bit tired of Brawl. I was hoping they'd have some interest in LittleBigPlanet but they lost interest due to bad levels and just played games on the Wii.

Yeah I actually got tired of Brawl and Mario Kart fairly quickly. I think that's the thing with multiplayer games, when you play them alone you will get bored with them soon.

The other Wii games I've played are Metroid Prime 3 (didn't get far), Zelda: Twilight Princess (was enjoying it up until some stupid fishing quest), Guitar Hero III, Tomb Raider Underworld (fucking blows on the Wii), Mega Man 9 and Wii Fit (I'd rather forget I played this).

Fishing quest in TP... hmm was that mandatory? I don't think it was. Or do you mean at the very beginning? Because if so then you sure gave up quickly.

Metroid Prime 3 was one of the few games I would've been interested in if I had a Wii. The other ones you mentioned... not so much.

Last week I also played Guitar Hero for the first time.

I've not played Guitar Hero for over a year now. I might break that but I'm unsure what to do if I ever get back to these games. Not sure if forking out over £150 is worth it. Hell, I could get a fucking 360 with that money!

Yeah I think it's waaay too expensive as well. I mean, it's mostly fun when you play with more people but you gotta invest hundreds of euros before you finally have all the instruments and none of the individual guitar hero games really have a setlist that can keep you playing for hours I think.

Or at least, a friend of mine had Guitar Hero V and World Tour and honestly... their setlists SUCKED! I think out of the 100 songs that were on either disk, there were about 20 tracks that I would want to play and the rest was just garbage. Seriously... it had like fucking... The Gorillaz - Feel Good, Coldplay and that sort of bullshit on it. And even from bands like the Rolling Stones they had a poor song selection. It had Sympathy for the Devil but that song only has two guitar solos and for the rest I was just doing the piano... =/

So you will probably have to buy several of those games before you finally have a good amount of songs that will keep you interested in the game. By that time you might have spent well over 500 euros on it =/

Yes, or... doing things you put on your to-do list. Like jumping a burning motorcycle through a hoop made of black mamba's. Stuff like that.

Yeah, stuff like making icons and helping out for the future of Newgrounds.

... while jumping through a hoop of black mamba's on a burning motorcycle? Now that would be hardcore.

You mean SlapHappy? Well just as easy as she turned her back to Slappy, she can turn her back to you.

Not sure if I can trust her if she cheats on me again.

No, definitely not.

Yeah, I don't know if Coop will be as good as a frontman as Freddy Mercury was.

Hey Coop, Auz is questioning your singing talent. :P

No not his singing talent. More his... stage charisma. Although if he keeps that mustache and puts on a funny hat, I think he'll be fine.

Haven't listened to the album yet but: YEEEAAAAH! Take that stupid attention whores!

Some words and numbers

That's not bad. At all. If I knew what the numbers meant (something about reps and sets, right?) I'd probably steal some of that. I hear though that it's good to have a day of complete rest with no exercise so the muscles can grow.

I think the same with August. Here, the heat gets over 110 F degrees at August. Outside, it just feels like Hell. That's why you see me a lot on Newgrounds, nobody in my city likes to get out of their homes at summer. I really dislike living in the middle of a desert.

By the way, I've never told you that my city is in a seismic zone too, because it's located near of the San Andreas Fault. At April 4th, it happened an earthquake of 7.2, and it's supposed to occur another one, but worse, like one of 7.5+
So, if I don't appear in a couple of days, you already know why.

Everlong? Doesn't seem fitting for a scene where people are whacking each other with giant orange hands.

The part of the video where Grohl grows his hands huge and starts whacking the bad guys (Franz Stahl & Nate Mendel), in an attempt to save his girlfriend (A decidedly effeminate looking Taylor Hawkins)

I've heard of it - I just never got to watching it.

Go watch it then. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is another good one from the same director.

Meh, I preferred the TV series, to be honest.

Yes, but only if you grow a Lincoln beard.

I can't grow hair there - it just doesn't seem to want to take.

Wow, that's actually sounds pretty savage, even if it is a Scot. It seems like the only reason these laws are still around is to bring them up in conversation, like just now. I believe it's illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket in the state of Kentucky.

Quite so, though why one would wish to contain ice-cream within the back pocket is entirely beyond me.

Wow, I sure HAVE been doing quite a bit of work over the last 24 hours. First I was making the final push to finish off Clock Day 2009 for the icons and just before I was doing a huge tidy up in my room. I'm so lazy I hardly bother tidying my own room. I got the signed Behemoth chicken today so I wanted to give it a nice spot in my room as you can see right here.

Listening to:

Iron Maiden - The Final Frontier. Have you heard what they said on the news today? Have you heard what is coming to us all? That the world as we know it will be coming to an end. Have you heard, have you heard?

Yeah, I couldn't believe my luck that you were top of the list of Bahamuts when I searched, even still it took seeing gfox posting a comment on your profile to confirm it for me :P

I just checked it myself and you're right. it's not as impressive as having my NG account on the first page of Google results for Bahamut, though.

Oddly enough, I heard that despite the vuvuzelas around.

Crap, then I'm not doing my job right...

At least I can hear your voice.

It's okay, I'll have forgotten by then.

I still remember what you said.

That was back in 2008 and I've well deleted most of those shortcuts. I'm not going to do a second take of uninstalling WoW.

Just take the window out and photoshop it onto your wallpaper ;)

Nah, I have better things to do than to "re-enact" that moment.

Hopefully all 160 of them are just the letter B to make it easier to do.

Nope but most of them were extremely short so they were a piece of cake.

It'll be interesting to see what they will do with the Audio Portal; it needs some work to say the least.

There's your answer!

Uhh, this is getting awkward. Still, I shouldn't have been wearing that shirt if you're seeing my dragon persona.

So you would be roaming around London with your sword hanging out?

If anyone saw my dragon persona, then yes.

If I have some free time I'll go back and fix the last one and the one below.

Well, the first one shouldn't be anything to worry about.

123peppy was worse, since it was geared to 10 year old girls

I'm sorry but I find that absurd.

Rock Out Wi/hters!

Rock out, rock out, with your cock out!

Wehn my card was damaged (it hat a crack where the magnetic strip was, not sure how this could happen) I couldn't use it to pay at cash registers but I could draw money from ATMs without any problems. That was really strange.

That is indeed strange. The only time when that happens to me is when the bank shuts down my card from sending any transactions. I can still draw cash, though.

I'm not a big fan of them either but their latest album was really good. Probably better than their classics. Give it a listen and see what you think.

I have to listen to it later.

How about now? :P

I saw Overkill live once, but it was way too loud, so I left after only a few minutes.

LOL too loud. NOW I know why you hate Manowar.

No, they're lucky because they don't get their monitors exploding all the time.

Yes, but they also only get to see boring things on the internet.

But they won't have to fork out money for exploding monitors.

Still doesn't ring any bells, but I assume that show is gonna be broadcasted on TV here someday. Just like any show from America and the UK is always broadcasted a couple of years later here.

One Foot in the Grave is from the 90s. Does that mean it takes at least 20 years for our shows to be broadcasted in the Netherlands? :P

Still though, I don't know if there's anything interesting for her in the Wi/Ht? (I don't think she'll be that much of a statwhore) and the only club she might join is the Vegetarian Community.

Don't forget to mention about the dragon you may have told her at some point. ;)

No actually I should do all that before I die. Not much chance I will really come back from the dead.

Yes but for now, we've got icons to work on. :P

I still play a bit of Mario Kart Wii and Brawl but only when I'm playing games with my friends. However, even then I get a bit tired of Brawl. I was hoping they'd have some interest in LittleBigPlanet but they lost interest due to bad levels and just played games on the Wii.

Yeah I actually got tired of Brawl and Mario Kart fairly quickly. I think that's the thing with multiplayer games, when you play them alone you will get bored with them soon.

That's only for local multiplayer games. Online multiplayer games you can spend hours on such as TF2.

Fishing quest in TP... hmm was that mandatory? I don't think it was. Or do you mean at the very beginning? Because if so then you sure gave up quickly.

Haha, I went much further than that. I recall something for the Zoras. Don't tell me that was a sidequest all along.

Yeah I think it's waaay too expensive as well. I mean, it's mostly fun when you play with more people but you gotta invest hundreds of euros before you finally have all the instruments and none of the individual guitar hero games really have a setlist that can keep you playing for hours I think.

I just wish they made more games that were specific on the music genres rather than one that caters a bit for everyone. I'd be more much satisfied with an all-metal Guitar Hero game but even that depends on what they can get.

Yeah, stuff like making icons and helping out for the future of Newgrounds.

... while jumping through a hoop of black mamba's on a burning motorcycle? Now that would be hardcore.

Making icons and helping out for the future of Newgrounds is hardcore.

Not sure if I can trust her if she cheats on me again.

No, definitely not.

Speaking of Gagsy, she hasn't been here for a while now. She even took that break or whatever a few days after the meet.

Maybe I'll finally hear some good music on the music TV stations now.

That would get me to tune in to them. I haven't even bothered with them for so long now.

You've got to prove you're as Auzome as Freddie Mercury.

I'm glad we're finally sorting out bullshit in the music industry. Infact, Iron Maiden's new album reached #1 on the UK charts and THAT is a huge improvement for music.

Awesome!

No no, it's Auzome. From now on, I will use the term Auzome to Wi/Ht?'ers.

Next thing we'll need to worry about is taking down YouTube whores.

One step at a time - make General into a better staging posts first of all...

Holy shit, I can't believe we almost forgot about taking over General forum. Hey, Gagsy isn't around to defend the forum so we can win this here and now!

I give you the Hammer of Thor.

That's why you see me a lot on Newgrounds, nobody in my city likes to get out of their homes at summer. I really dislike living in the middle of a desert.

It's really hot here as well. It averages 100 degrees plus humidity at times, which makes it feel 110. It's just miserable at times.

By the way, I've never told you that my city is in a seismic zone too, because it's located near of the San Andreas Fault. At April 4th, it happened an earthquake of 7.2, and it's supposed to occur another one, but worse, like one of 7.5+
So, if I don't appear in a couple of days, you already know why.

No earthquakes here, just tornadoes, lots of them, in the spring.
