You have to realise that some will persist for YEARS! At that point, they should have their internet cut off.

That would probably be for their own good.

Just one more year until you hit a decade. Awesome! :)

I've still got another 4 years. It won't be hard but who knows, maybe I won't be here by then.

I think my gf could only find it in some organic food store.

That is true. Out of curiosity are there some futbol teams that play indoors, like in a domed or retractable stadium or are they all outside?

Yes, some of the larger stadiums in Europe have (retractable) roofs. Some teams also play on artificial turf so that the pitch conditions will be better in case of bad weather. But most of the smaller clubs can't afford such investments and thus the football season usually has a break around the Christmas holidays.

It might not have been so bad if it was good music, but I'm guessing that isn't the case.

Problem is, most of the time you only hear the bass. It always sounds shitty. ^^

Ah, I know how annoying that is. My dad is often turning up his music as well and since the wall between me and his computer room is so thin, I keep hearing the bass through my wall. Even when his music is not even that loud.

Yeah, that stupid bass-thing can be heard nearly everywhere, even when the music itself isn't that loud. What a stupid invention. >_>

Nice! My gf bought me a CCR's Greatest Hits LP some time ago which was a pretty sweet gift. Now we just need to find a working LP player somewhere...

Yes, a good (and working) LP player is hard to find. And if you find one, it's quite expensive.

I heard new ones are being produced though, and new LP's are being produced as well. A friend of mine bought an LP player which was only a few years old at some thrift store. It didn't cost him too much. He also bought a whole set of old LP's, which was pretty nice.

Yeah, there are still LP players produced, but for a really good one you have to spend quite some money.
Also, most music sounds better on LP. A reason for this is the so called loudness war (you cannot record the music as "loud" on a LP or else the needle would jump, thus LPs are recorded at a lower loudness level), For more information look at this youtube video.
Of course, sometimes the formula "louder = better" holds true sometimes, but in the long run, it's just TOO loud. I know from many people who don't enjoy listening to music as much as they did in earlier days. I once read an article, that todays music just is stress for the ears, because of the loudness.
It's a shame how record companies destroy music and blame it on the customers. :(

Not much you can do about that.

It's a modern game. Only goes back to 2004.

I guess I could play it for a few hours then. But I still suck at first person view. I played Fallout 3 for quite some time now and I still have some difficulties with the orientation. ^^

You could get Half-Life 2 on Ste-oh wait, you don't like Steam. Too bad for Valve games, though.

That's right. Plus, I don't like FPS games. Not only because they make me sick, but also because I just don't like them.

Yep, she's missing in dragon on dragon action.

And she didn't turn up yet. How disappointing.

How can she miss out on all this fun?

Wait, you are having fun alone, now?

Gotta love it when chavs get owned. Me and my friends were at Subway today and some chavs insisted on videoing whoever was there at the time (this happened after I left) and mocking them. One of my friends got up and smashed their phone and they were then kicked out by the staff. Serves those fuckers right for disturbing others' peace.

Not neccessarily. Also, even on New Years Eve the concept of "nighttime peace" holds true. ;)

Should be able to make a run at 70,000 before the end of 2011

You passed 20000 Saves. Way to go!

Don't know if this counts. But I found it pretty cool.

Just a quick note while I'm awake, its pretty much my NG Account anniversary and also a new year.
So congrats to me and Happy new year level up lounge.

After being retired for a few years, I started collecting b/p points again, and I just hit 40k points!

You know, for a post made in 2002, this has to be the single most quoted written statement on Newgrounds.

The reason it's spawned over 2,000 Pages is because we have adopted it as a place to keep the musings about statistics while keeping the rest of the BBS (General forum) free from them.

Well it can be pretty cool in some songs, but in most songs it just sucks to have the bass turned up like that. My dad's car also has this bass boost build in and you can practically feel the whole car vibrating while the volume of the music is not even turned up that much. I wish I knew how to turn the bass off >.<

I see what you mean there. Although the difference is quite subtle in the video, it makes sense that the quality of the song suffers from it. You're basically not listening to how the song was intended to be.

Now I also understand LP lovers better.
