A big apologize to all the people in this thread. I won't use my PC for like 2 or 3 days because it's having some technical problems (OS crashes randomly sometimes :/).
Although I may use my lap a little later but I doubt it, because I have a lot of real life stuff to do today.

A big congrats to everyone who reached their goals :)

777 Blams. That not big of an achievement, but I just bought Fallout New Vegas.

I find it funny.

36k medal points!

Level 20!

Level 17!

Well I been on newgrounds for 8 years. Today is that day!

Coop waits nearly 2 hours for the drama at the Korean GP, before congratulating:
Pokemonpoeguygcn: 42,000 B/P
FBIpolux: 7th NG Berfday
High-Dark: 36,000 Medal Points
fx-dx: Level 20
Donut: Level 17

Thank you to:

The fact that I'm after fuel economy prevents me from buying a car that was built for the american market. That said, I am now a Ford Driver :P

Gotta love the polymorphs.

They are a nice perk :P

Not the polymorphs I know of.

Of course.

Heh, American cars have to be big for those wide open highways and byways.

But this is built for the English market. Do a google search for the '07 model.

When I woke up and the song that was going through my head was "Coming Home", by Iron Maiden, I kind of knew then. I'll be writing an expose on the Yanks Season later and where I think we're going from here.

First stop, do what Cashman should have done in the summer and get Lee.

We pay less this way ;) The Mariners wouldn't have taken Vasquez or Burnett off us this summer :P

Yes he will, though I'm not convinced that Philly can get there. Oswalt outduelled Sanchez the first time around, but with the season on the line, can he do it again?

I see the Giants winning out the series. Plus a Lincecum Lee match up isn't half bad.

It's going to be a good series for Bengie Molina.

No, there are some reviewers that write epic-length reviews (almost to the character limit) and they only write about 100-200 of them. If they managed to write enough to get in the top 100, they'd get some major recognition.

Well there's Afro_Stud with his over 2 times the character limit long reviews, but we've seen where that got him.

Good stuff all round then haha.

And here is my hat... in pink. Yeah, the name was a tad misleading and the coloured hats shown on TF2 Wiki looked right so I thought I had the right paint. Ah well, this one is still good. See picture below. I had to give up my Rubber Glove, two reclaimed metals (which puts me two polycount weapons behind) and two spare vintage weapons for it.

In other news, I'm now crafting polycount weapons. I'm not going to do them all at once but I was desperate for the Pyro weapons.

I managed to get the Degreaser from a random drop, however I've yet to had such luck with getting the Power Jack.

I'll probably find these from drop sooner or later but I'm desperate to get these items right away. If I do get them, I can easily save them for polycount hat crafting.

Problem with those resellers is that you can never be too sure what they mean when they write "used condition".

That's why I tend to avoid used condition sales. eBay is more reliable for second hand stuff.

I suppose we'll never know since we do not know whether she survived the attack by Squall and co in Delhi then, do we? Could be that Irvine and Rinoa still managed to finish her off.

Don't you mean Deling City? But yeah, maybe the others finished her off but you'd think they would have actually shown that if that was the case.

I'm interested in playing through the game again keeping the whole 'life flashing before Squalls eyes' theory in mind. I can't remember anything from the game atm that would disprove that theory and looking at the game that way certainly makes the story 'better' in my opinion.

You know, I actually feel like giving that game another playthrough but I have other games to play first.

A more serious answer: The difficulty level is about the same in all lectures that are of the same field, I guess (well, some topics interest you more than others and are "easier" because of it).

I see, but some courses require more of your time than others don't they?

Yeah, naturally.

I got plenty of courses which have little projects and such going with them (which are often incredibly annoying). You could try to avoid those.

No projects here, but there are some professors who should be avoided. ^^

I'll think I'll take Texas in 7. Just a hunch that it'll go the distance.

Level 19, I actually still like 16 better than 17, 18 and 19.

1,000 medal points... finally. I'm probably never going to get too many.

Three exams in a row the next three days. This is gonna suck.

Yeah Deling City is the one I mean. Perhaps they want to leave it in the middle, but I suppose you could safely assume it failed considering Squall is supposed to be the strongest of the group and he was killed quite easily when Edea got serious.

Some Nos,

Nos wouldn't work with a diesel engine.

a turbocharger,

It's already got one - Turbodiesels really do get the fuel mileage these days.

red paint with flames should do it.

What, and look like Jeff Gordon? Nah, I'm good with the silver, especially as it won't show the dust at the cricket club in the summer.

More like Demopimpknight. That's something to try out in melee maps. However, I expect Pyro to be broken in melee maps with the Powerjack.

I'll still save them but with key craze right now, I could get most of my wanted hats. Bill's Hat won't be easy to get but I suppose I could stock up on some spare hats.
