Seeing as we have Manowar fans here, I thought I'd bring up a hilarious A Cappella metal cover of one of their songs.

Lol, that's even funnier since I found ANOTHER one last night.

MORE crates? Damn, I'm even getting a crate off my friend for my spare Vintage Southern Hospitality. I'm glad I'm doing this trade since I really don't want to craft vintage weapons.

Oh yes, it really is a good hat. It fits Soldier's personality so well and it's the non-goofy hat I like the most. It's not as silly as having a brain slug or a wig but it's still awesome.

Yeah, I'm still in the hunt for ZE GOGGLES, it has one of the funniest flavour texts I've seen on any item on any game.

Good luck trying to get one. Ze Goggles and brain slug are some of the most sought for hats in the game and whoever has either of them are asking for at least 2 good hats for them.

This needs to be done. Not sure if he's willing to part with his current sig, though but if he is, then more favourite sigs shall be used! This could be effective for our revolution.

I would be willing to do it! Well use the sig, not make it, I lack talent in that regard. If you could keep the barbarian with Angry Faic it would be awesome.

It looks awesome already.

Yeah, you better do ;)

But then it's less time for the other forums.

I've actually earned a lot of money but I need to be committed to changing my laptop around with a new OS.

Oh well, since you don't live on your own yet I'm sure you'll have plenty of money soon to buy everything you want.

We'll just wait and see.

In 2015, there'll be another UK election so the tory bastards better not stay in power then. If they do and I know anyone who voted for them, I'll make sure to not speak to them again.

Lol, better warn everybody beforehand. Maybe it'll change their mind about voting for the torries. Or not if they want you to shut up of course :p

Well, not if they're quiet about voting for them.

Good! NG Log won't mention it for you so you better keep it in mind.

Better a day late than weeks or months.

You should keep it in mind. Amazon is where I got many great CDs from.

I still prefer buying CDs in a store. I guess it's because I get to see the actual album before I buy it and not just a silly small picture. Plus, I can grab a few CDs here and there from bands I don't know and listen to them in the store. If I like them, I might buy that album as well.

I have to rely on Amazon, eBay and such a lot since most of the stuff I want aren't even sold in local stores.

It won't if I'm ultra angry.

I get stronger and stronger every day and your little shelter won't do anything to help you.

I know right? Hopefully they will become more rare/valuable so I have a decent trading position for hats in particular, as I have pretty much all the weapons I want for the classes I play.

Damn, I'm even getting a crate off my friend for my spare Vintage Southern Hospitality. I'm glad I'm doing this trade since I really don't want to craft vintage weapons.

Yeah, crafting can be a pain in the ass to get materials for, or it has been in my experience thus far.

See above comment re crates :P Eh I dunno, might be better off trying to get the medic token and metal and hope I get lucky on the craft.

I actually got into a big conversation with my TF2 playing friend in college about what could be done to the Medic in future updates. I mean the Polycount update seemed to be very much about trying to make some classes play very differently, but we couldn't see how Medic could be changed much other than perhaps a new primary weapon with a view to improving Combat Medics. I don't think a new Medigun would be viable either, simply because what could you do for the Uber given crits and invincibility have been done already?

It's not that hard, really. If you're after a specific weapon, you'll get it eventually. As for crafting metal, I just have a page for spare weapons to craft eventually and craft them whenever I feel like it.

You'll need four refined metals to get it. I'd only craft four refined metals if I really need one of the polycount hats. I remember crafting four refined metals with a pyro token and all I got was the beanie, the weakest Pyro hat at the time. I was harping on the brigade helm or the brain slug but luck wasn't on my side. However, it wasn't as bad as getting the Trophy Belt by crafting. THAT was a bitch!

No, I meant our government is actually giving people money for the first three years to pay for their studies. The amount depends on whether you still live with your parents or not. I do so I only get about 1200 euros per year but you can get about 3000 euros if you live elsewhere.

Oh I see. Yeah, we applied for loans for me as well to the govt. Just waiting to hear back from them at this point. Hopefully I get approved too.

Hopefully. Don't you need to study on a little longer in high school before you can go to college?

Yeah you better not, but perhaps it will be a good motivation to pull through it.

That's what I'm thinking. I mean, it's not like I'm working right now either, so it'll really be the only thing I have to do. I think I can manage that.

Oh I see. Well I'm not keeping much track of it. Metal is not my favorite genre, although I can appreciate it every now and again.

I just hope rock will make a comeback someday, and I mean the more classical type of rock (not pop rock which has been popular ever since The Beatles).

I can think of a few bands and artists who have been around since the 60's, 70's and 80's, but none of them have more than 25 albums as far as I know.

I think some more folk-y bands may have had more, but that's because they can't find the way out of the recording studio, because they find the use of doors "unethical"

Lol!

I just did a little google search and apparently there are some artists who have way more albums than that. Frank Zappa has 87 apparently (excluding compilation albums), Elvis Presley has over 90 and Frank Sinatra also has a shitload, but none of them beat this guy with 148 albums :p

That sucks. I played Halo 3 for a good 2 years straight and then went to Call of Duty games for another year. I got decently good. Good enough to have my own youtube channel. That kinda died when I sold my xbox though :( Oh well. I guess it's flash games for me for a while heh.

Hopefully. Don't you need to study on a little longer in high school before you can go to college?

lol no, I got my high school diploma 5 years ago but I think some colleges will even accept certain people without a diploma, like people with GEDs.

Just don't give up if it seems difficult at first ;) The first period/semester is always the hardest, it's when most people drop out.

Really? I didn't know that...but I guess that makes a lot of sense...Honestly I can't wait to start, I'm excited =)

I usually start at 5,000 and do 10,000 and from there every 1,000. I figured that a user will earn the first 10k Medal Points easy and start really earning after 10k.

SeeD419, I loved Rohan's New signature pic. We should post more in General to start spreading our pictures more :P

Lol!

I just did a little google search and apparently there are some artists who have way more albums than that. Frank Zappa has 87 apparently (excluding compilation albums), Elvis Presley has over 90 and Frank Sinatra also has a shitload, but none of them beat this guy with 148 albums :p

Some people have far too much time on their hands. The thing is, if you are a recognised artist, you don't need that many albums to turn a profit. That guy there needs to keep churning them out, to get money in.

You only get less than 200 characters? Lol!

Not really. 'Spam Review' '"shit" does not constitue a review', that sort of thing.

Since I'm English and live there at present, the English are the only population that counts. How annoying it would be if I tried to drive on the right hand side of the road, while everyone else was driving on the left.

Okay. They sucked ass!

I have to rely on Amazon, eBay and such a lot since most of the stuff I want aren't even sold in local stores.

No HMV near you? I got the impression they have a great selection of Metal CDs in their stores.

There's a few but HMV isn't always reliable. One, there's a chance they don't have the specific artist in (I didn't see any fucking Accept last Saturday) and two, the prices are often £15+.

I still rather buy CDs in a store than on Amazon.

I get stronger and stronger every day and your little shelter won't do anything to help you.

That's the advantage of the shelter. The stronger you are, the stronger it gets. That's why it's ultra helpful.

Well unfortunately you're stuck to a major program in which you will sometimes have to deal with courses and subjects you don't give a shit about :p

I can choose (relatively) freely which subjects I want to take.

True. The examples are always good to look through.

Yeah and books about business economics have pretty good examples as well. Not like books about mathematical topics, where they always say: "The rest is trivial."

Lol. I don't know, I do have one good mathematical book, but the other math related ones often do a poor job of explaining things and indeed expect much from the reader.

"As you can easily see" is another of those phrases you can only find in math books. ^^

No shit, lol.

Well, not if they're quiet about voting for them.

People used to keep that quiet here, but lately everybody seems to reveal his political stance to everybody to check if they're on the same side (liberal or socialist).

It depends on the person, really. One may be alright with saying who they support but others will refuse to say who they voted for. I didn't know who my mum voted for but I have a feeling she voted for the tory fucks in May.

I can imagine, even getting a few hats can take a lot of trading/crafting, never mind having one of all available hats in the game.

Yeah, getting all the obtainable hats is almost impossible at this point. I may not get anywhere at all but I'll do what I can to get as much hats as possible. For now, I'll just focus on the hats I want the most.

It's not that hard, really. If you're after a specific weapon, you'll get it eventually. As for crafting metal, I just have a page for spare weapons to craft eventually and craft them whenever I feel like it.

I suppose so, I guess I haven't been playing long enough to be getting large volumes of spare weapons. That said I have found like 4-5 Direct Hits in my time.

That's a lot of Direct Hits. I used to be a luck magnet for Medic items. Not anymore, though, lol.

You'll need four refined metals to get it. I'd only craft four refined metals if I really need one of the polycount hats. I remember crafting four refined metals with a pyro token and all I got was the beanie, the weakest Pyro hat at the time. I was harping on the brigade helm or the brain slug but luck wasn't on my side. However, it wasn't as bad as getting the Trophy Belt by crafting. THAT was a bitch!

Sounds pretty horrendous all right >.< Must be an awful feeling to put so much effort into getting the materials for a hat craft only to get one you don't want.

Yeah, I was so pissed. I managed to not send hate mail to Valve from that. Good thing I traded that piece of shit hat for a Rubber Glove.

I guess the main problem with most new students is adjusting. Compared to high school, you must do a lot more by yourself, the pace will lay a lot faster and teachers aren't gonna care much about you anymore. At least that's how it is at the uni here, but I assume it's no different in colleges.

Very true. I highly doubt his albums are any good from an artistic point of view. He is most likely just spewing out as many as he can in the hope to get noticed someday and sell more albums or to hold some pointless record.
