You're the guy that has bulging and talking about holding up your end in your post. It's not my mind that is dirty. :P

I was merely pre-empting you guys being dirty :P

But yes, quitters never win.

True that.

I don't think he will, not with the money that New York can and will throw at him. Plus pitching with CC is what he wants.

Bankees will strike again. :P

Well, perhaps CC can win #20 tonight, against the Os, but a much more different Os from last time. Buck Showalter is the skipper now and he's changed the face of the Os

Not as much as the Padres.

Yeah, as soon as I posted that I thought of the Padres. Biggest implosion since the '07 Mets.

What, no mention of the Cubs or Red Sox? For shame.

Medicine is a career that requires a lot of vocation. Most people just want to be doctors for being completely badasses or they just want to win a lot of money. It's very sad :(

I have installed an interesting script called NG BBS mod type indicator, it tells what kind of moderator an user is below of the level icon. It would be cool if the admins put that in the redesign :P

Oh hi flash game.

What, I missed 3 medals? YOU ARE TEARING ME APART FLASH GAME!

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.

Even if it did suck :P

Yes, even if it did suck. At least it finally came out and put it to an end.

Looks like the joke might finally be over, as Gearbox have announced it's finished and due to come out next year :O

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

YOU'RE THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR ENTIRE PLAN :(

Last night, Bahamut quit the band.

Now we're back together?

Update on the job: Induction is next Monday at 9:30. That's right, I've got to wait until next week to actually start my job.

Actually, I'll need a bit of assistance from citricsquid. Considering their flash icons page is broken, I can't refresh the page to collect the icon points. I'll need citricsquid to do that manually and take them off once I'm done with them. I'm guessing I'll be done with them tomorrow or even tonight if I'm lucky enough.

If I remember correctly that german soldier in Saving Private Ryan wasn't dubbed because he already spoke german. But it kills the atmosphere, because a guy that translates german into german to other people that where speaking german just a minute ago... it's just silly and one of the major disadvantages of dubbing movies.

Yes that's incredibly silly. I'm sure it'd annoy the hell out of me, so I'm glad they keep almost every movie in English here and just add subtitles. I know other people find it annoying, but you'll get used to them.

Heh, the beginning is the very violent scene where the Americans are being slaughtered by German machine guns on the beach right? I'd be glad I never had to go through that as well :p

Yep, that's the beginning. And yeah, I'm glad I never get to be a soldier as well.

If I had to go into the army I'd probably be the most unmotivated, lazy soldier they've ever had.

Interesting plot. I like how it's a real story that was considered so unimportant that it was never in any war records, while actually many people died in vain there because of a silly mistake.

Don't know if the story really happened this way, but the movie is very intense nevertheless especially because of that last line. If you watch this movie it's just like as if you are with those kids there at the bridge and I know many people who had tears in their eyes at the end of the movie. And then? "This whole incident was too unimportant and never got mentioned in any official report" BAM! It's like someone just hit you in the face with a hammer.

Exactly. That last line is very impressive.

And I'm sure they've altered the story a little to spice it up. If it wasn't in any record they must've relied on the guys memories and those must've become foggy over the years. But I suppose most of it would be true.

If you ever get the chance to watch this movie, you should do so. Sure, it's very outdated now, but still a very good movie.

Also interesting: Everyone who played a major role in this movie had a very succesful acting carreer. Most (if not all, too lazy to check) are still active and still very famous in germany.

Hmm so I guess it might be a pretty big movie in Germany then?

I doubt I will ever get a chance to watch it unless I really go searching for the DVD at amazon or something. It doesn't sound like anything they'd broadcast on TV here.

That is true, but not many German people are that charming and good with having conversations with people.

I guess not many people are that charming, no matter where they are from. :P

Heh true. Although a lot of girls here seem to fall for the charms of Italians, no matter how they look.

I think it was because the French empire lost after the defeat of Napoleon. That made England the most powerful kingdom in Europe, and the US becoming the most powerful nation after World War II, was the final step :P

Sounds more logical :p

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.

English became obligatory in most elementary schools here, specially in cities that are next to the north border. It's nice to see that in your country, a lot of people decide to learn another language because they actually want. Most people here think that just knowing English will solve their lives and/or because they took a class of that when they were in school.

I think they're starting to make it obligatory in elementary schools here as well, when students are about 11 years old.

And well, I guess we like to learn other languages because hardly anyone speaks Dutch outside of Holland and we often go to France, Italy and Spain when we're going on a vacation. We're pretty much forced to learn other languages.

Heh, I thought French could be my 3rd language when I got the notice that I was going to take French classes in High School. But I was wrong. If I have the opportunity, I may learn some Portuguese or perhaps a bit of German. And yeah, I'm already aware that German is kinda difficult and maybe even harder than French.

I don't know if Germany would be harder. I didn't have as much trouble with it as with French, but that might be because German is closer to Dutch than French.

If I had to pick a third language, I'd probably go for German as well.

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.

I have to agree with that. English is the most spoken language (besides Chinese) in the world, as a native language plus as a 2nd one. Not to mention it is also very helpful and useful in the career that I plan to study. There are some classes that doctors come with a bunch of copies of an article and they tell us to read it and make an essay about it, but it's written in English. For those who already speak it will be a piece of cake. But for those who doesn't, they will have serious problems surviving at the career.

Indeed, I think you can expect from a doctor that he speaks English, since he probably has to communicate well with a lot of different people in his career.

In my field of engineering I'll probably be dealing with a lot of people from outside of Holland, so English is a must for me as well.

Didn't you also talk about that once? Something with Wii shovelware games...?

Yeah, I've talked about Wii shovelware.

That might have been in some other rant then.

Lol yeah. But it wasn't like that single was rereleased during Christmas right? Wasn't it some kind of joke people on the internet pulled? I did put a smile on my face when I heard that song became #1.

Actually, it got #1 due to people mass buying the song on iTunes, Amazon and such. We may have cheated but it had to be done.

Lol. Yes, it had to be done. A statement had to be made.

Oh uh... I don't know all that much about the series before Metroid Prime. I thought it was awesome ever since the first one. Anyway, in that case I'll try Super Metroid sometime.

Yep, Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission are all awesome.

Alright! I'll see if I can get my hands on those.

From the metal fans I know, the majority of them also likes general, classic and psychedelic rock which is pretty logical I guess cause the genres are basically all on the same branch. I don't know what guys in Metal Hell like, but I WOULD BE surprised if it was rap, dance or modern pop music.

Those are the least favourable genres over there but the main non-metal/rock genres that pops up are electronic and ambient.

I see. So Daft Punk I guess and... I'm not familiar with the ambient genre.

Not the best idea perhaps, but I'd hate to listen to his crappy music all the time.

Luckily it's not all the time but it does happen too often.

Well, perhaps CC can win #20 tonight, against the Os, but a much more different Os from last time. Buck Showalter is the skipper now and he's changed the face of the Os

My bet is on CC, though the Yanks do have a 2-game losing streak to the O's. Just saying. :P

What, no mention of the Cubs or Red Sox? For shame.

The Cubs are expected to lose no matter what. The Sox haven't blown a division lead in some time, at least not on the scale of the 17 game lead of the Mets.

Damn, no one will get the "The Prisoner" reference I made here, because in the english intro Number 2 only says: "That would be telling." In the german version they changed it to "On the right side", which sounds much better, imo.

THAT is manly. As for the gayness, well, Newgrounds is cool with it.

Allow me to join this conversation. :)
As a native speaker I can of course not say how hard it is to learn german. But I think it's much easier than learning french because in german it's like that: The way you speak words is the way you write them. A little example in english:
father, false, about, blame, man, any
The 'a' is pronounced in 6 different ways here. In german, 'a' usually is pronounced in only one way (of course there are exceptions here and there). So, in german nearly every word is pronounced the way it is written.
In french, nearly no word is pronounced the way it is written. You have a lot of "silent characters" there (like "etablissment", the "ent" at the end is only pronounced with a nasal "o"), which makes it in my opinion a language that is much harder to learn than german.

I still need to pick up Duke Nukem 3D. Hopefully it works on Vista. Otherwise, I'll have to get it on the PS1.

I still need to play the flash version of Doom on NG - I always seem to compate early Duke Nukem to Doom at some primal level.

Well, perhaps CC can win #20 tonight, against the Os, but a much more different Os from last time. Buck Showalter is the skipper now and he's changed the face of the Os

My bet is on CC, though the Yanks do have a 2-game losing streak to the O's. Just saying. :P

Different Os - Buck Showalter has given them confidence and they are making noise because of it. A shame for them - they lost the top draft pick to the Bucs :P

No win, CC's streak blew and no homers from A-Rod. Better start a new streak. I guess that CC will need another shot at 20 this time around. Time on his side, he can still do it.

What, no mention of the Cubs or Red Sox? For shame.

The Cubs are expected to lose no matter what. The Sox haven't blown a division lead in some time, at least not on the scale of the 17 game lead of the Mets.

Hence the miracle - they were and are expected to lose.

So you admit the work is dirty eh? I did not know that, has anyone ever received a triple modship before? Theoretically, you could become an icon mod tommorow, But I don't think that counts, what with the lack or aura and whatnot.

And yes, I do know how attrocious my spelling is.

I think some users have various modship triples. I'm happy with 2 at present. We'll see what the future brings.

I guess it's 100% useful learning a 2nd language because the place where Holland is located. I have to agree with you on that.
Here we have to learn English because we're next to the US. In my city, most companies require people that can speak English or maybe another one such as German. If you ever travel to the north of Mexico (specially cities that are next to the border) or to the country's capital, you'll find a lot of people that speak English as their second language.

But it's pretty rare finding someone that speaks another one besides Spanish and English.

In my field of engineering I'll probably be dealing with a lot of people from outside of Holland, so English is a must for me as well.

Ah, so you're studying engineering. Indeed you will need to speak English, and we both already know that if you knew more languages then you'll get a better position or/and salary wherever you start working on :)

Yep, I'm currently using that one now. I edited the script to reorganize the icons but it's essentially the same. It's very handy to find out who is who in duties especially with the Art Mod people.

That script is useful, isn't it?
I find quite funny finding icon mods without their golden auras, but the script tells me they are actually icon mods :P

I remember when you got review modded, the review mod icon in your posts didn't turn on for a few days. Now I can clearly see it, though.
I find it weird since when Bahamut got forum modded, its icons were updated instantly.

I'm getting paid for this week but I'm disappointed enough that a week of working has been wasted as a result. I only have this job for 6 months and losing a week is a lot. Oh well, at least they're paying me to stay at home, lol.

Yeah I can understand how you feel since it's a temporary job, but sometimes you have to put up with these things whether you like it or not.

Don't touch me motherfucker!

Yes, even if it did suck. At least it finally came out and put it to an end.

Looks like the joke might finally be over, as Gearbox have announced it's finished and due to come out next year :O

I'm still weary about Duke Nukem Forever, even if Gearbox has made games like Borderlands and the Half-Life 1 expansions.

I am as well, but at worst it'll just be a generic FPS, I don't think there's THAT much they can do wrong to make it downright bad.

As a native speaker I can of course not say how hard it is to learn german. But I think it's much easier than learning french because in german it's like that: The way you speak words is the way you write them. A little example in english:
father, false, about, blame, man, any

I actually know how words in English are pronounced because I learned them by memory.
It was kinda annoying at first when I was learning English in Elementary School ._.

The 'a' is pronounced in 6 different ways here. In german, 'a' usually is pronounced in only one way (of course there are exceptions here and there). So, in german nearly every word is pronounced the way it is written.

It's the same for Spanish. The vocals will always sound the same. The "a" will always sound "a", same with e, i...
The consonants are other story but nothing hard at all. What makes Spanish hard to learn are the amount of grammar and orthography rules.
I remember that a classmate from High School told me German wasn't hard at all. It's just learning some grammar rules and pronunciations.

Not to mention the accent sounds like the Spanish one but with some differences, in my opinion.

In french, nearly no word is pronounced the way it is written. You have a lot of "silent characters" there (like "etablissment", the "ent" at the end is only pronounced with a nasal "o"), which makes it in my opinion a language that is much harder to learn than german.

That's what pissed me the most about French. Each time that I was asked to do the nasals sounds, literally, almost made me vomit. I may learn French grammar and vocabulary later, but speaking it, I'm afraid not :(

I've talked about plenty of things. I still have a few other subjects in mind but I've hardly been motivated to write more rants.

Actually, it got #1 due to people mass buying the song on iTunes, Amazon and such. We may have cheated but it had to be done.

Lol. Yes, it had to be done. A statement had to be made.

And the statement was a success. Hopefully the same thing happens again this year since we've got The X Factor back once again.

Those are the least favourable genres over there but the main non-metal/rock genres that pops up are electronic and ambient.

I see. So Daft Punk I guess and... I'm not familiar with the ambient genre.

Not sure about Daft Punk for the rest of the members, they're more into obscure stuff. As for me, I might get into Daft Punk.

Luckily it's not all the time but it does happen too often.

Damn :(

I think grammar is the hardest part in all languages and german grammar isn't that easy as well (but compared to french... well, it's about as hard, I guess). The biggest problem german learners seem to have is that we have three definite articles "der, die, das" as opposed to english ("the") or french ("la, le"). Plus, we also distinguish between male and female (I think in spanish it's the same). In english "the driver" can be both a man or a woman. In german it's either "der Fahrer" if it is a man or "die Fahrerin" if it is a woman.

This leads also to some very strange uses of english leanwords, like for example "manager". The word is just the same in german, it's also "Manager" but some people feel the need to add the female ending "-in" if they talk about a female manager. Sounds and looks ridiculous. :/

I remember that a classmate from High School told me German wasn't hard at all. It's just learning some grammar rules and pronunciations.

I remembered that my Latin and Greek teacher from High school told me Spanish and German share a lot of similarities. The sentence The Driver, in Spanish may change because the driver may be a man or a woman. If it's a man it would be El conductor but if it's a woman it would be La conductora. Just like in German but with different articles, of course :P
and not to mention the ending -a which stands for a female.

Ah yes, it's almost the same in every language. Heh, reading that made me come to my mind funny sentences about my native language. I'm going to tell you the funniest ones :P

- Just like in English, and not sure if it's the same in other languages, Hero it's a person that has amazing supernatural abilities to protect people. Heroine is the female for Hero, but it's also the name of a drug :P

- In Geometry and Trigonometry, we have the law of sines. In Spanish it's called Ley de los senos.
The word senos is also a synonym of Boobs :P I remember when I took my first class of trigonometry in Middle school, our teacher told us to not to laugh at the Trigonometric functions. If someone laughed that person would be suspended. When he said the 1st function it was called "Seno", Everybody in my class started to laugh, including me :P I was 13 years old at that time, heh. My teacher couldn't suspend everybody so he had to laugh, too.

Yeah, if you can remember the basics of grammar I guess learning german isn't that hard.

From what you've said, I think learning German would be very interesting. Not to mention that I plan to visit Germany at least 1 time in all my life and I'm really interested in knowing other languages.
Heh, I'm going to search for some grammar rules and vocabulary in Internet :P
