Protect/Blam Ratio: 1

Blams: 17,749
Saves: 17,749

Terrible really since approximately 16 months ago it was 1.8 blams to 1 save.

Better than mine. I get 1 blam every 7 saves.

I'm not entirely sure about that. But I have yet to see a dragon porn movie, because right I haven't seen one yet. As I've said, I'm not into it, so I won't go looking for it. ^^

You can just look at some dragon porn pictures and decide then.

This is one of the few reasons why I'm happy I stopped B/P'ing on this account. If I kept going even now my save count will be well ahead of blams. As for how much I'd have in total, I might have around 120,000 B/P. That would put me in the top 10. However, I'm happier with 77,777 B/P than reaching the top 10. I guess that makes me less of a statwhore.

Oh my, did you hit a lamp post?

No, I was turning into the car park (where the car is pictured is the entrance) and a car pulled out of a parking space in front of the bank (behind in the shot). As I had commenced my manoeuvre, I only saw this car (which had not signalled, nor put any lights on) when it was too late. Her front wing made contact with my bumper, creasing all of the bodywork. It's her fault and my insurers see it that way as well.

You know, it's stories like these that make me happy that I can't drive a car. This means, I cannot be involved in car accidents. ^^

With the substitute car only costing me for parking at work, over the other one, I can't really complain, except I've got to be really careful.

Reading that has me hyped up quite a bit already. I honestly didn't realize it until now, but the level up system on Oblivion was terrible. I'm glad there's no level cap on Skyrim like there is in the Fallout series. I HATE level caps.

"Players can learn unique abilities called "dragon shouts" by absorbing the souls of dragons - one of the benefits of the dragonborn - of which there are over 20 in the game and each is formed from three words of power. They can push enemies away, slow down time, transport you and even summon a dragon, amongst other things."

SKYRIM HAS DRAGONS?! THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST GAME EVER.

Elder Scrolls + Dragons = Best Game Ever.

"Dropping weapons in the street can end in different outcomes; for instance, it could remain there forgotten, it could be picked up by a small boy and returned to you, or two men could fight over its ownership."

That sounds interesting. Also, Children in the TES world? That's going to be odd. They're probably going to be a fairly rare sight, as they are in Fallout.

It didn't say anything about voice actors, besides the "in-game mentor", hopefully there's more than 2 voice actors for this one.

I think it's funny how two nations who have english as their native language develope so huge differences in it that the one nation cannot understand the other.

Same goes for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. All three countries are native german speaking countries (well, Switzerland is kind of an exception, since they also speak french and italian in other parts).

Anyway, I adopted some british english words and some american english words. For example, I always write "colour", but I would never write "armour". Also, I always write "-ization" and would never write "-isation".

Oh yes, that annoys the hell out of me as well. You have this very powerful, intense, emotional scene and then some loud commercial goes: "THIS FILM IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY...!!!".

And then they say: "The commercials are just as loud as the movies". Well, has something to do with compression as well... the commercials appear to be louder, so you have to turn down the volume of the TV...

Maybe the loudest scenes in the movie are as loud as the commercials.

Indeed, they always stick these commercials in the last five minutes of the film, even when the film was already supposed to end according to the TV guide...

This reminds me of the time when I tried to record the MASH-episodes on VHS. The station that showed them didn't care too much about the times in the TV guides and often I ended up with some sitcom that ran before MASH and with no MASH on VHS at all...
So they managed to run the show about an hour later than planned.

Yeah that's just bullshit. Last week I was at a friends house and he recorded some films on his DVD recorder. We watched two and for both they ended well before the ending of the film because the times in the TV guide were wrong. We were like: FFFFFFFFFFFFF- >:(

We used to have a channel called Arrow Classic Rock, which played some pretty sweet music. But they are now only available via the cable, so I'm stuck with shittier channels. One is alright though, it broadcasts 80s and 90s music mostly which is cool sometimes. Although sometimes they come up with shit like Snap...

I know in the 40's and 50's, the church still had a big influence here. Using condoms and such was considered a disgrace and was forbidden by the church. Hence why we had all these large Christian families around who had eight children or so.

Both of my parent's families are Christian - on my mum's side, there were 9 kids from 2 marriages, while on my dad's, there are only 2 kids. Mind you, both of his parents came from large families (6 and 4), so they might have wanted to stop earlier.

Maybe they both had bad experiences living with so many in one house?

Well, not when you're just getting pissed and your kid starts screaming.

But I've seen the side effects of gaming and kids - since my best mate and his wife had their first, I've not spent any time at his playing on the PS3 with him :P

I don't know how hard they are to collect in FFX, but I assume quite hard since that's always one of the rarest items in FF.

It is. The only way to even get them from battles besides dark aeons is the Battle Arena so that's grinding yourself to battling loads of special fiends and Dark Matters are rare drops.

Shit!

Is there no way to steal them from enemies with a decent success rate?

I think he mentioned only one or two things about it, but didn't go into any details.

Too bad he didn't say much. That's actually a key point to the game that should be explained properly. It's a shame he spent more time on bitching about random trivial things and mediocre sketches than talking about the sphere grid. Some of the new characters Spoony introduced last year are really poor. Black Lantern Spoony is just Spoony with a black shirt and evil while Spoony Bum, his voice isn't good for a bum impression. Of course, by bum impression I mean Chester A. Bum.

Hmm yes, I didn't care much for Black Lantern Spoony either. I still don't know where exactly that character came from. As for his bum impression, well he doesn't use it much. I've only seen him using him in two or three of his movies.

But yeah, he could've dedicated a whole episode to the sphere grid system.

Doesn't sound too bad, but I guess there have been better systems in FF games.

The sphere grid isn't the best system but it's not terrible. Even if some systems don't work out well such as the junction system from FFVIII, I still liked Square's ambition to make the system of the latest FF game different to all the others. However, those ideas are wearing thin now.

Personally I liked the Materia system of FFVII most, next to the classic system where weaponry learned you skills (like in FFIX). Only downside with the latter was that you could miss weapons or sell them and then you'd never be able to learn all the moves.

Also, Cycling isn't an option here as well. First of all Hamburg is way too big to comfortably go around by bike and second, most of the bicycle lanes are in a very poor condition.

One is alright though, it broadcasts 80s and 90s music mostly which is cool sometimes. Although sometimes they come up with shit like Snap...

"Oops up" was THE SHIT back in the 90s!

Oops up? That's one I don't know. It's usually Rhythm is a Dancer and I've got the Power.

Yes, I've got the Power was a great song as well.
Also, Oops up (<- another link)

Next milestone achieved 12.34 Voting power. Funny sequence number for voting power. However, it is not really a big deal though >_<

It's not the language that is so different, it's really the everyday slang that varies. A bonnet? A boot? Do you mean a hood and a trunk?
Little things like that.

Dare I ask what you're thinking? I'd hate to only come primed for a few dozen songs this year :P

Iron Maiden, of course.

So that'll be Number of the Beast, then? IIRC, that was the only one we could find on the playlist that he has :( I'd better get rehearsing:

I lived alone, my mind was blank.

I know in the 40's and 50's, the church still had a big influence here. Using condoms and such was considered a disgrace and was forbidden by the church. Hence why we had all these large Christian families around who had eight children or so.

Both of my parent's families are Christian - on my mum's side, there were 9 kids from 2 marriages, while on my dad's, there are only 2 kids. Mind you, both of his parents came from large families (6 and 4), so they might have wanted to stop earlier.

Maybe they both had bad experiences living with so many in one house?

Possible, but having had just one brother doesn't make me want to procreate like there was no tomorrow.

Well, not when you're just getting pissed and your kid starts screaming.

But I've seen the side effects of gaming and kids - since my best mate and his wife had their first, I've not spent any time at his playing on the PS3 with him :P

Lol :P Because they don't want to play violent games with the kid around?

I think he's too tired to :P

I wanted one to help with my writing. And a Thesaurus as well.

I believe that chavs are much worse, since they are more extensive.
