Appointment, dude!

By the way, I think I could be the 2nd active Newgrounds user that becomes a doctor. IIRC, a user made a thread 1 year ago, about another user that got graduated from med school. I don't remember his username or the name of the thread :/

I not sure but isn't Shrapnel a doctor now? I'm not sure if that's the person you're referring to...

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

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 guess I should watch it in the original version then. Dubbing kinda kills the atmosphere, if any german guys are involved in the original plot. >_>

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.

I watched the beginning of it some weeks ago and I remembered a song (it's in german, so no point in linking to it, I guess) where the singer says something like: "I'm happy because I could live my live without being a soldier and to celebrate this I'm watching the beginning of Saving Privat Ryan."

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.

There is Die Brücke, I think that comes pretty close. It shows that the german soldiers aren't any different than all the other guys.

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.

Of course he is a mean bastard, but he is a polite mean bastard. :P
Also I'm just referring to the way he speaks (should've made that clear before). There's nothing agressive about the way he talks. The true meaning of his words, well they are a whole different story, but the just from way he speaks you can not say he's agressive.

Thanks mr. Bahamut. I can't wait until February but, oh well. It's better having a place in the next semester rather than having to do all the annoying process again. Getting inside med school here is very though because the school I applied, is in the top #3 of the best med schools in Latin America. More than 1,200 people apply for medicine each year, while the school only accepts like 180, which 90 of them start in August and the other 90 start in February. That, plus all the corruption makes very hard getting inside :/

Just checked and my suspicions were correct, I did write the first review. It's a review nonetheless, despite its incredibly shoddy quality.

I can remove it if you want :P

On occasion, though nowhere near as often as he used to be.

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

Having a core of users that post here once a day is just cause for this thread not to die.

I don't see it ever coming out, or being good if it does. Pity really.

Fine, but don't forget about the band man.

But what if I quit?

Only for the revolution.

Yeah same.

Oh hey, we actually bumped it.

Sweet.

Crushing castle? Sounds like something I'd have lots of fun with.

Then have fun :P

Before I begin, any dragons? Also, this might be put on the backburner considering my icon mod duties.

Well no, but hey, there's fire bombs so you can still get the pleasure of burning stuff.

I start my new job tomorrow. :)

I am very worried, It will never justify the wait, or live up to the hype, It just cannot be done, especially when we had to wait so goddam long. If Chinese democracy was a game, Duke Nukem forever.

If Duke Nukem Forever does come out, the only thing I can make of is Wintersun's Time. Still, I'm not going to build my hopes up just yet. I've had enough disappointments in the gaming world.

You'll be happy to know that TheNumberOfTheDragon is due to retire at level 36 due to base VP.

I am indeeed happy, that Is quite dandy, I would like the option to not automatiacally deposit, Cast posted the same thing in the NG evolution thread, I'm In two minds, I'm tempted to stop deposisitng if I find a level I really like, but I want to continue B/P'ing At snails pace, admittedly) I think I'll continue to deposit. Supreme commander sure is appealing.

I actually like cast's idea to have the option to not automatically deposit. I know many people want to stop at a certain level but if they want to vote on flashes in the portal, they can't do much without depositing.

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!

I had to look back at your posts to see if I could remember who you are. Your name is vaguely familiar but I do remember some of the posts you made in the LUL back in 2005.

Can't you request them to make monitors?

I did, but they didn't reply yet.

Here's hoping they make the monitor for you. They might not be experts, though.

Thanks mr. Bahamut. I can't wait until February but, oh well.

I see that as something to really look forward to in 2011. Next year shall be a great year for you. :)

If real life does take a lot of your time, don't worry about it. Studying is much more important and we're 100% behind you all the way for you to reach your dreams.

Indeed it is more important but I also don't want to leave this place at all. I may be gone for 1 day or 2 sometimes, but at least I'm still gonna post in the LUL, deposit my Exp and if Tom gives me the opportunity after the redesign, icon modding :P

We'll see what happens. I do like your determination to still coming here, even if you've got a lot of studying to do.

Of course, you never know what will happen and the release of Duke Nukem Forever hasn't been reliable.

If it does come out, even if it's not good, I'll be glad they finally released the game. As bad as Chinese Democracy was, at least the album came out eventually.

But what if I quit?

And I'm the guitarist/backing vocals of the band, damn. Auz was trying to name the band after me as well.

Yeah basically. Little over 2 years of depositing to reach Level 28, most people don't have that dedication.

ScrewAttack? Never heard of them. Though after my post I'm going to search for them and that list. I'm a little curious of whom they picked.

Back in the day I never really posted in the LUL. I think I did only once on page 379. I really just hung out around the B/P list and answering question whenever I could before I went on hiatus for several years. And yes, there have been plenty of great users that have moved on: D0GMA, ShittyKitty, RedCircle, Newgrundling, and gfoxcook (I guess he moved on now) to name a few that made this place a wonderful hangout.

I just like being productive.

So is your tuition paid for or are you having to take out student loans when you do start classes? A little money saved up from your job couldn't hurt since you will need books and such.

lol, a troller ended being an awesome life saver in real life.
I also felt good reading the thread because I found a post of mine of 2 years ago, saying that I want to study that career in the future. Time flies away so fast, and now that wish came true to me.
I dropped a tear by reading that :')

Nice little bit of foreshadowing. :)

Yes, I agree that is a stupid unwritten rule, just like that one where a player can't walk across the pitcher mound that A-Rod got in trouble with back in April.

Let's just focus on 2010 and perhaps 2011, when Cliff Lee will become the Yanks second starter, taking a bit of pressure off Burnett.

So you don't think he is staying in Texas? Interesting

P.S. the Cards suck. :/

Not such a big deal, but nice nonetheless. I'll post some replies later.

I'm not gonna have an achievement in a while. Life is busy and getting busier so I'm drifting back into one of my "not quite inactive but not doing much other than modding" stages.

I'll still try and check in on you homies as much as possible, but now that you've got so much mod meat in the LUL, I doubt that anybody will be all that bothered with stupid lame old me.

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.

I think it has been English ever since the American civil war ended? I don't know, I'm not that familiar with the 19th century American history.

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.

Heh, I don't think many people speak perfect French here because hardly anyone can be arsed to learn it. I know plenty of people who go and study Dutch, English, Spanish or Italian, but nobody who does French even though France is our #1 holiday destination.

For English speaking people it might be a more attractive language to learn but I don't think it's that popular around here. Could be because the way it is given in high school is very lame.

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.

Well I think I have to agree there. I wouldn't expect a plumber to speak English, but anyone who studies at a university should be able to speak English rather well. At my studies you can't even finish it if you don't speak English because from the second year onwards it's English only.

But yeah, in almost any university studies you'll probably have to deal with a lot of people coming from abroad and you're simply handicapped if you can not communicate with them. I say learning English is a must for university degrees.

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.

Well those were of course the main characters. I can't remember what John McKinley did. He might have played a very minor role in the movie. I don't think he has ever really played a big role anyway, except for in some smaller movies perhaps.

Well even from the series I like I can hardly remember any quotes and I often mix them up when I quote them.
