The woman had to attend another meeting today. And fortunately, I know they're not lying to me since there's a big window in her office and it was empty when I went there at noon.
I'm going to call to the office tomorrow and see if that day is going to be my day.

Hopefully it won't have to come to that, but be ready.

I've been ready since July. Hopefully, I may continue my studies if everything goes just fine. The wi/ht needs its own doctor.

Fine then. Hopefully you get the same 'stache for the next London meet. I haven't heard anything about you going to Manchester yet.

Happy 4 years!

I decided to pick up where NG MAG left off by creating The Interviewer. I have also done 30 Interviews with some of the famous artists and members of Newgrounds and I plan on doing more.

I don't believe I've ever said anything about your interviews before except for the nomination but I do enjoy reading them, especially when you're interviewing well known users on Newgrounds. I actually found out Tom's son's name from your interviews.

Being on Newgrounds for 4 years is something grand, and I can only see brighter things for Newgrounds' future. Truth be told, I hope it never ends.

I sure hope you stick around. :)

Okay, you run around in a human disguise every once in a while, while I never run around in a dragon disguise. So I guess you are more experienced in that field than I am.

Of course and I know how to be a manly dragon as well as a manly human.

Actually, it does.
If that's so, then I guess I don't want to be "a real man" after all.

*points and laughs*

What does "being a real man" mean anyway?

I think it's self-explanatory.

Your speakers must be immune to blowing up, unlike your shitty monitors.
Yes, I got really lucky with my speakers. Too bad the company that build my speakers doesn't build monitors.

Can't you request them to make monitors?

That's pretty much it. Not only is it easy to find on the internet, it doesn't help when some of these shows aren't shown in certain countries.

Yep. Or shown years later, but we already went over that :p

Heh, I noticed in London that there was a lot of Family Guy on BBC 3 in the evenings. I thought that was nice.
BBC3 likes to show a lot of Family Guy.

Too bad I can't watch BBC3 here.

Well I still have faith in humanity but not so much in the entertainment industry.
Yep, we all know the wrong direction video games are taking. :)

Hmm if you mean the direction of aiming for mature audiences while not trying to attract the younger kids then yeah.

If you mean coming up with tons of expensive, unnecessary gadgets and silly stuff then... yeah.

DAMN DUDE!!!!!!!!!

Why would anyone want to cover a Miley Cyrus song?
I have no idea but to put that on single is sickening. Good thing people rebelled against it and got Rage Against the Machine for Christmas number 1 instead.

Oh so... the cover is actually being sold as a single? Jeez. Talk about laziness. I guess that's what you get with artists who are only in the business for the money.

And yeah I thought that was funny :p Wasn't it the ... I can't remember what the song is called but it goes like: "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!". It was also in GTA San Andreas.

Lol :p That sounds like one of those things kids always say.
I wonder why...

Kids are silly. Especially British kids.

No way man. Today was the only day I've seen the sun this month and it was only for a few hours. Several streets in cities were flooded due to rain. Late June / early July was the only time we had decent weather. Also I heard this was the second worst summer since 1906.
Then what about those days when you were outside the house because the weather was "too good"?

Wasn't that like... two months ago? =/

I played a remake on the GBA of something. Could be that it was the original Metroid. I think I had some difficulties with the aiming in the game and that also turned me off.
Then yeah, it must have been the original game.

I see. I'll give it another go someday though, or otherwise I'll try to find that second Metroid game. I need to give it a second try after hearing so much good stuff about the series.

Lol, yeah I beat it on Hard Mode as well, but the Boost Guardian is a total bitch. Mainly for being out in the dark atmosphere with no light crystals. Damn. I think he is the only halfway boss that took me more than five tries.
I took plenty of tries but eventually I did it. People just need to persevere.

Yeah, you'll often find a point in a videogame which is tough, but you'll always get through it eventually. Some people tend to give up quickly when they got bored of trying.

Last year I ordered Metroid Prime 1 because it was only 13 euros. I was very happy with it and I still gotta do a second run through it on hard mode.
I think I got Metroid Prime for £20 but I won't remember now. It's been that long.

I guess you got it somewhat later than the release date then. I think I got MP2 for 50 euros or so, which is the standard price for something new.

So you like The Beatles as well? Awesome!
Of course, they were formed in Liverpool and that's the city across the water to where I am.

Awesome!

I wouldn't expect someone who's very much into metal to also like The Beatles since it's like the opposite within the rock genre.

Yeah but since they're split up they might start bitching about the rights and such. I think that might be the only thing that's stopping a Pink Floyd game, cause surely the makers of GH games must realize that loads of people like this band and they got plenty of interesting songs to play.
As far as I know, the only band that's been bitchy about having songs on Guitar Hero is Led Zeppelin.

Hmm yeah I guess the bands will get payed a lot to have their music featured in such games so the majority of them probably won't complain.

I looked up an article about Pink Floyd and Guitar Hero. Apparently, members of Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones did not like Guitar Hero cause they'd rather have kids to learn to play a real guitar or instrument. It also says Led Zeppelin expressed similar complaints, which might be the bitching you referred to.

But the drummer did say in 2009 that a Pink Floyd Rock Band might happen someday, because it's difficult to sell records these days and bands have to look for new ways to sell their music.

Way different with my brother. He's more into pop music and the kind of thing you hear at dance clubs. Luckily he doesn't turn his speakers up that often.
Good, he doesn't sound like my neighbour who's a complete douchebag.

Lol, glad I'm not living where you live.

I suppose you often turn up your heavy metal as well to annoy him back right? :p

They are one of the best bands around today, imo.

I can not deny that they are among the better bands formed in the last 10-15 years. While I don't like their music all that much, I think they got some alright songs and at least it's rock n roll-ish (which you rarely see nowadays).

I'd say the same about Muse. Another band I don't like that much, but I would say they're among the best bands of the past decade.

Lol, well I can recognize that that is gibberish. But the more serious war movies, like Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers (TV series actually) do seem to have proper German in them and German people are mostly portrayed as dominant and aggressive people I believe.
Hm, that one german soldier in Saving Private Ryan (the one who was talking about Steamboat Willy and got shot in the end by that translator guy) isn't very agressive, imo.
Never watched Band of Brothers, though.
But yeah, how else should german soldiers be displayed? I mean, the audience has to hate them (or at least feel no sympathy for them), so...

I believe Band of Brothers is considered the best miniseries ever made. I did a marathon with some friends once and it was awesome. I can definitely recommend it.

I can't remember much about Saving Private Ryan anymore. Last time I watched it was last year or so. But I guess you are right, people would probably find it wrong if the German soldiers were portrayed as good people or something.

It would be interesting for a movie though, to look through the perspective of a German soldier for once and see that they are not much different from the American soldiers when it comes down to it. I don't know if that's ever been done before.

Oh, btw: What about Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds? He is very polite most of the time.

Lol!

Come on, you can smell from a mile away that Hans Landa is a mean bastard underneath that charm. Probably the worst one of them all.

I did a Google image search and lo, I was enlightened. Him, I remember.

Dr Cox or John McGinley?

The actor is pretty famous I think. He's been in plenty of well known movies like Platoon, Office Space, Highlander 2, Se7en. Once you've seen him in Scrubs, you can never imagine him as anything else than Dr Cox though :p

You may call me an ignorant, since I've always thought that English was the world's #1 language. That's why I decided to spend years learning it, lol.

It is now, but I'm talking 17th-18th century.

Everybody who had money tried to speak French so that they looked cool... or something.

I took 2 semesters of French in High School. They were awful. I can't believe Spanish is like the cousin of the French language. They may look alike when I see it written, but the pronunciation is completely different and nothing related to Spanish. Not to mention the accent, my French teacher told me that my accent, each time when he put me to read in front of the class, was horrible. I almost barfed each time that I had to do the accent. I just fail at it ._.

Heh I hear some Spanish every now and again but it doesn't sound much like French at all indeed.

I think I'm actually alright with accents, but my French vocabulary and grammar are just awful.

Queen - We Are The Champions

Epic story:

I went to the offices again of uni and I finally talked to the lady that told me to come back in September. This was the conversation we had:

*I explained to her about my visit and she said she remembers me*
Me: ... And I would like to see if you there is enough space for me in Med school. Is possible to get inside?
Lady: Mmmm... Tell me again your score in your admission test.
Me: 644 out of 800
Lady: Pretty high. Let me check the list of the aspirants that can get inside... *checks lists*
Me: *Almost shit my pants*
Lady: Mmmmm... *Looks at me making an upset face* ... *then she smiles and burst in laugh* Yes! You are in the list!
Me: *literally my head fell hitting on her desk while trying to not to pass out*
Lady: You should feel proud of what you've done! Come back at October 18 to give you the official documentation. And don't worry anymore, everything will be just fine.

Real life level up: Med student :P

btw reverend, I forgot to explain you in the other post about making an appointment. I'm afraid I can't make any since, as I've already explained you in past posts, the lady had to attend multiple meetings and I'm not an official student from there. Silly rules, I know :/ That's why her secretary told me to drop there everyday instead and call to her office everyday to see if she was available.

And this doesn't mean that I will leave Newgrounds. First dead if I have to leave NG permamently.
University here is different, I don't have to stay there for 24/7. Once the classes of the day end, I can go back home. I'll start in February.

Everybody who had money tried to speak French so that they looked cool... or something.

Ah, yes. The French empire. Again, excuse my ignorance :P
Yes, French was the most spoken language at that time. I thought for a moment you meant the past century, lol.


Heh I hear some Spanish every now and again but it doesn't sound much like French at all indeed.

I remember every single classmate of my French class had the same thought. I respect all the people that speak French perfectly, but if that one isn't the native one.

I think I'm actually alright with accents, but my French vocabulary and grammar are just awful.

It's the opposite in my case.
Heh, talking about English Vs French made me remember something hilarious that happened in French class. One day, my French teacher had to leave the classroom for a while. A classmate took a white blackboard marker and wrote bad words in French, expressing his hate to the language. He even wrote at the end: English rulez.

Anybody who doesn't speak ANY English these days, is like being an illiterate, in my opinion. If you want to graduate from any career in any university in Mexico, you have to speak at least an 80% of English. So, if you plan to study a career here, even if you won't need that language for it, you have to speak English. If you suck at it, say bye bye to your degree. No matter if you're an excellent doctor, teacher, lawyer or whatever.


Holy super-duper thanks!!! :D

You're super-duper welcome :)

It's from Scrubs. Man, I am surprised somebody doesn't know who Dr Cox is or has never heard of him. I thought he was well known for his angry, long and hilarious speeches, even to people who are not a fan of the series. He's played by John McKinley if that helps.
I did a Google image search and lo, I was enlightened. Him, I remember.
Dr Cox or John McGinley?

The actor is pretty famous I think. He's been in plenty of well known movies like Platoon, Office Space, Highlander 2, Se7en. Once you've seen him in Scrubs, you can never imagine him as anything else than Dr Cox though :p

He was in Se7en? I'll have to did that out again and watch it. All I remember from that is Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman.

Can't make an appointment because you're not a student? Kind of dumb to treat prospective students like that; whatever. You got your foot in the door, finish the paperwork and get ready to hit the books.

Heh, Shrapnel. I remember he use to troll around trying to convince everyone that he was a female with some camwhore pics. Glad he finished school though.

Well he did start it. Stealing two bases when the game was in effect over. One of those unwritten rules of baseball of not padding thy stats when it's out of hand. Eight seems about right and at least he got a nice left hook in.

Plus Strasburg's surgery went well, though it's a shame for a kid that young to need major surgery like that.

He'll be fine and join the Yanks in 2017. I'm sure of it. :P

There are a lot of new faces around here, and some older ones that I do not even remember.
I used to come here back when I was in High School.
Is Bonus Stage still around? That guy was once my best forum friend on here.

I am not really back for good though. Just checking in after a long time away. I am glad this thread never died!

I just made level 28. I'm surprised at my exp rank - around 2000th out of over a million users is the top 0.2% and a lot higher than I thought I would be, since I haven't been here as long as a lot of people and I didn't always get my 10 exp every day. I guess a lot of people just don't care? :P


See my news post with medal hunting links and tools. I made a program NGMedals that finds your statistics and unearned medals.

Hmm if you mean the direction of aiming for mature audiences while not trying to attract the younger kids then yeah.

Yeah, that's one thing, even though I never brought it up in my gaming rants.

If you mean coming up with tons of expensive, unnecessary gadgets and silly stuff then... yeah.

That as well but I was referring to what I've said on my rants. :)

I have no idea but to put that on single is sickening. Good thing people rebelled against it and got Rage Against the Machine for Christmas number 1 instead.
Oh so... the cover is actually being sold as a single? Jeez. Talk about laziness. I guess that's what you get with artists who are only in the business for the money.

It shows how little faith you can put in The X Factor. When I think of the name The X Factor, I only want to think of the Iron Maiden album of the same name,

And yeah I thought that was funny :p Wasn't it the ... I can't remember what the song is called but it goes like: "FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!". It was also in GTA San Andreas.

That's the one!

I wonder why...
Kids are silly. Especially British kids.

Oh?

Then what about those days when you were outside the house because the weather was "too good"?
Wasn't that like... two months ago? =/

That was still Summer.

Then yeah, it must have been the original game.
I see. I'll give it another go someday though, or otherwise I'll try to find that second Metroid game. I need to give it a second try after hearing so much good stuff about the series.

Wait, the second Metroid game? That sounds like Metroid II which wasn't that good either. It was very monotonous. The franchise wasn't awesome until Super Metroid.

I took plenty of tries but eventually I did it. People just need to persevere.
Yeah, you'll often find a point in a videogame which is tough, but you'll always get through it eventually. Some people tend to give up quickly when they got bored of trying.

And they're the gamers who aren't determined enough. However, I will cut them some slack if the game is ultra hard like Battletoads.

I wouldn't expect someone who's very much into metal to also like The Beatles since it's like the opposite within the rock genre.

What's wrong with a huge metal fan trying out other music? Infact, ask the guys at the Metal Hell what genres of music besides metal they like. You'll be surprised at the answers.

But the drummer did say in 2009 that a Pink Floyd Rock Band might happen someday, because it's difficult to sell records these days and bands have to look for new ways to sell their music.

Yeah, times are changing and you have to adapt to the modern age, although a band like Pink Floyd is timeless and shouldn't need to do anything these days to maintain their popularity.

Good, he doesn't sound like my neighbour who's a complete douchebag.
Lol, glad I'm not living where you live.

I suppose you often turn up your heavy metal as well to annoy him back right? :p

Actually, I don't like adding fuel to the fire.

It makes me wonder why ScrewAttack didn't give him a mention on their Top 10 Douchebags in video games... Oh wait, I should have remembered. It's because they fucking blow.

That means lolcats are complete shit.
I just never found them funny. It might be because I hate cats in general.

I'm not a big fan of cats either.

Bahamut! I remember you! I originally started posting in this thread back when it was in the double digits. Looking through some of my old posts, I was such a noob!
My first dozen were all questions about how everything on this site worked. Thankfully, you guys were all too happy to answer my questions instead of telling me to look that stuff up on my own.
Man, these forums rocked back in the day. I remember posting here almost everyday. We had a nice tight-knit community.
I do not mean that it is not still there. I have not been around for three years.
Nice to see some old faces still here though.

For everyone else, feel free to ignore my nostalgia laden posts.
