Sweet. I'll try and butter up Luis in August.

That sounded so wrong.

BAD COOP!

What? And turn down a chance to allude to Luis' legendary prowess as a butter smuggler?

True that. You have life and Evark quite close to you and once you overtake them, it'll be ages until I get close to them, unless there's a sudden decline. I shouldn't count on it, though since it's not very likely.

Once I overtake them? When are you planning on me doing this? If that happens and I still haven't cut my beard, it will be down to my knees.

Whenever you can.

Aye, sir. I'll see what I can do.

Well as far as I know, it's not so strange to at least ask for a raise after you've worked there for a couple of years.

I dunno, I hate the thought of asking for a raise.

At 1/2/11 09:57 AM, Bahamut wrote: I saw Spoony's last part of the FFX review and to be honest, it wasn't that bad. He's definitely improved from the first two parts and he didn't seem to be shoving his thoughts down the viewers' throats like he did before. The jokes were much better, even if he continued the awful ass count gag. As for him reviewing any other FF games, X-2 is fine with me.

I think it was four parts in total actually and the first part was pretty good. After that he started rushing through the game and indeed he very much tried to force his opinion on the viewers.

As far as the last part goes and just focusing on the main plot, the pacing was fair. The only way he could have made the review longer is by covering more sidequests but the American version of FFX lacks the dark aeons. Even if you don't like FFX as a whole, you have to give credit to the challenge it provides for the dark aeons. I'd bring up Nemesis but catching ten of every fiend CAN be tedious. That I can easily understand.

I agree the last part is the best though. I liked how he didn't overdo it this time with the 'going apeshit and needing medication'-jokes. Honestly, I always find those the worst of his reviews. He had some fair points and some nice references.

The going apeshit moments had its better days with AVGN and Nostalgia Critic. These days I just can't see anyone doing anything that hasn't been done yet with losing sanity over games, movies or whatever. It's the same reason why I no longer come across any new good reviewers. The whole angry reviewing has died down with the exception of some individuals.

Listeners would complain that they constantly have to change the volume on the radio.

Ah yes, I suppose that's why I occasionally come across 'radio versions' of some songs. It makes sense that radio stations do their best to keep it the same level, and I doubt compressing stuff twice over does any good to the song.

I think "radio edits" are more like because radio stations don't like songs to be too long, more like only three minutes. Any song longer than that isn't very compatible for radio stations (some stations here cut out instrumentals in songs. For example they cut out the solo in "Nothing else matters" or the rest of "Turn the page", letting the song end on the "What she said" part...

Now I also understand LP lovers better.

Yes, but the biggest disadvantage of LPs is the fact that you have to change sides after about 30 minutes. XD

At least you have something of a B-sides though. Occasionally artists added some nice tracks to that side.

Yes, but on a CD they can add it as well. :P

Damn right!

Actually, I have often saved myself shitloads of time by simply not reading the instructions and just do whatever's logical. I never read tutorials in games either :p On Newgrounds I do occasionally find that I should've though.

I know what you mean. I hate that so fucking much, when they cut out the ending solo. Or just start blabbering through it. I know that in Smells Like Teen Spirit for example, they often even cut out the second couplet and just go straight into the shortened guitar solo.

That's probably the biggest problem I have with radio stations these days, apart from the overload of commercials and news updates.

At least you have something of a B-sides though. Occasionally artists added some nice tracks to that side.

Yes, but on a CD they can add it as well. :P

But those are usually just 'part of the album' then, right?

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing worth watching in 2011. I'm beginning to think the movie industry is close to death. As crazy as that sounds, I think that because there's hardly any original ideas coming up and it seems Hollywood are now relying more and more on remakes. Well, Hollywood movies could be considered dead anyway.

I know, we also said that we might think differently in ten years or so. However, my girlfriend seems a bit afraid to have a baby, plus she's an only child and those kind of people tend not to be so interested in having children. But time will tell.

It used to be normal. I think you should be fine with life experience as well, but more is always better of course.

The only thing is though that there are so many things you could still do when you're in your 20's. Things that you might never be able to do anymore once you have kids.

According to NG time, I've officially had my account for 3 years.

DAMN IT FEELS LONGER.

Am I experienced user now?

You don't really have to do everyone where you left off. Just go back a day or two and pick up there. After three days I think most people stop caring about their achievement.

I'm far from ready for a child myself. I'm single and not mingling. Good for my sister, but it's not for me.

Also, a pair of sharp scissors? That sounds like a reeeaaaaally bad idea.

Maybe if you are quick about it, shouldn't be too bad.

Level 20

If your co-workers would get a raise at that point, I guess it's only fair that you would get one as well. Although if you're not really planning on working there for at least the next ten years or so, it might not be of much use to ask for a raise.

And for that school I only have two months left. Again, I might be kept on but there's no guarantees. I should be looking for a new job.

Yeah, the Blitzball is unavoidable, sadly. It's even worse when you want Wakka's celestial weapon. That requires GAMES and GAMES of Blitzball! It's so bad I feel like making a separate save file so whenever I play through FFX, I can easily skip Blitzball.

The most tedious celestial weapon quest still sounded like that lightning bolts dodging to me. I don't see why anyone would ever go through that.

Actually, yes. If you fuck up once it's back to square fucking zero. I'm just glad I never cared for Lulu. The better option would be to make a custom weapon for her.

I think all we need to point at for bad acting is an irate gamer. :P

Well apparently he is still able to act in such a way that he fools people into thinking he played the games he reviews.

He fools the less intelligent individuals. :P

Achievement of the Day:
Domo: Level 20

Domo gets the Achievement of the Day because Level 20 is his favorite level. I probably won't do the "Achievement of the day" daily.

Should I continue making list daily? Well, I probably won't make them daily, but I'll try to make them more often. Lately I've been making them every 4 days.

As crazy as that sounds, I think that because there's hardly any original ideas coming up and it seems Hollywood are now relying more and more on remakes. Well, Hollywood movies could be considered dead anyway.

The image below shows how original Hollywood is today.

I thought for a moment that you were going to give me a difficult song to sing ;)

If that's easy for you, how can you say no?

I could certainly be performing that, come August.

A few years back, but they gave up their young adulthood to become parents. Mid-20s onwards isn't bad for having kids, but you've got to have some experience to pass onto your sprogs.

It used to be normal.

Yeah, back when life expectancy was about 35-40 years.

I think you should be fine with life experience as well, but more is always better of course.

The only thing is though that there are so many things you could still do when you're in your 20's. Things that you might never be able to do anymore once you have kids.

Exactly - you can still be a gamer when you've got kids, so long as you can be AFK for a short while for nappies, screaming infants and so forth.
