10,000 experience points (I had 9,990 yesterday, the congratulatory post with 10k was a mistake)...that's a thousand days of voting...wow.
Well, I also guess that this means 1,000 days on NG, although obviously they're a bit more because of the few days I missed :P

Coop hauls himself out of bed and starts looking for work. Congratulations to:

Scofff! What you call defeatist I call realistic. Maybe if the number one B/P would retire I might reconsider but there is no possible way to catch him. Why climb Everest when Everest keeps getting taller and taller? :P

Why must you bring rocks into this? Everest grew by less than the height of Edmund Hillary between the time that he conquered it and his death, why does that make the climb seem inconsequential?

The B/P summit is moving forward at a tremendous pace and I am still pursuing it.

At least with levels you get a new icon in 3-4 months.

106 days for me, but that's a drop in the ocean for those above me :P

At least I can be philosophical and know that I'm the normal one out of us.

Honestly, it's the same at my place. I've always been the one who had the better grades and my brother was always at a lower level at school. We also always got the same rewards for our results, but it never really bothered me that he did worse than I did while we still got the same.

Maybe it's just me then.

I understand that my parents were just trying to raise us equally and that we both have our good and bad qualities. They didn't want to make it seem like they preferred me over my brother or the other way around. I'm sure your parents must have had the same idea.

Perhaps I feel this way, because I've been drilled by mum that parenting is the most difficult job and you'll always get it wrong, no matter what you do.

I see kind of like how wade was the only one removing abusive reviews until they gave the review mods the power to do the same thing. That would help big time

We'll just have to wait and see - if they want to stick with this, then they will.

Plus, with the additional Blam points that will produce, it might also influence the voting crowd.

True but that would only be for those who actually pay attention and flag the abusive flash. Many people just let a lot of abusive flash pass for the protect point even if they do know it is abusive. Plus they would have to vote 0 or 1 to get the point otherwise they would only get whistle points.

When people see more flash that were submitted within 24 hours cluttering up the graveyard and they aren't getting so many saves, from protecting this garbage, they will remember what their 0 buttons are for.

It happened around 2007 the other way around, it can happen again.

Hopefully cause seeing so much garbage passing when it should be blammed in not only wrong, but it is like telling a teacher someone is bullying you only for them to give the bully a pat on the back and serve the innocent the punishment.

The worse I have seen so far was a 0.1 kb flash that wasn't a link to an external website pass judgement.

It happened around 2007 the other way around, it can happen again.

Viva La Blam

I should have more than this it feels like, but due to me being the only person in this entire website that has voted to blam once this year (you motherfuckers) they are hard to come by. I really hope the portal gets a change soon, because the lack of blams and the pure garbage coming through makes me want to choke out a beagle.

Cootie I feel your pain, but you are wrong on that. I for a fact know a hand full of people who vote to blam garbage and I can quite a few of the top of my head besides you. (Coop, Littlewashu, Ronald-McDonald-LoL, Gamejunkie, Auz, and Gagsy are some of the users I know who vote correctly on shit that needs to be blammed)

But as I said I feel your pain dude since a lot of the shit that should be blammed passes due to those people who auto vote 5 when a flash doesn't deserve it. Hell I have seen abusive flash that should be marked or at least blammed pass judgement because of this. But please don't choke out a beagle don't let what happens on a website cause you to hurt something in real life.

Baaaaah, you are right about this. We know Coop is strongly against our idea.

Maybe we can bribe him?

Coop doesn't take bribes, unless you can get him higher up in the EXP ranks.

But not the worst, right?

Well... better than Justin Bieber at least. But that isn't saying much.

At least they're not the worst.

I know those three bands. I only have one Agent Steel album but Unstoppable Force is SPEED FUCKING METAL!

Sounds good. I'm more into Thrash, but Speed is good as well.

Thrash and speed are similar enough. Give Chosen to Stay a listen to so you know what the general sound of the band as well as the vocalist is like.

As for Epica, I'm more fond of their classical set on the live album rather than their own tracks but what they've written themselves is still alright. Some of their songs I really like but others I need time to get used to.

I was sceptical when I read about them, I think I put them near the bottom of my "bands to check out" list.

I wouldn't blame you for putting them on a low priority. The songs seem to be hit and miss for metal fans. Even if their own songs aren't so good, the live album is still highly recommended. Here is Dies Irae metalized!

No, not if it goes via that program thingy you mentioned.

If it's for those with zero experience, then no. However, these places say experienced is essential/desirable so it's fucking catch 22 here.

I'm not sure if I'll be in a rush for Pokemon Black/White. Sure, I do want to get it but I'm not sure about first day buy. I'll see what my friends think of the game and decide from there.

Same here. I'm fine with playing it later, after I've heard how well it has been received by everyone.

Yeah, the games have said to be an improvement as well as the new set of Pokemon. They can't beat the classics but they're easily better than the previous generation.

I spoke to another friend of mine who's also a Spoony fan and he says he has no job. It's just the videos that are getting him money but considering he's one of the biggest names for video game reviewers, I wouldn't be surprised if he earns enough money to maintain his life.

Yeah I thought so. Like I said, it doesn't look like he lives in a very expensive place and as far as I know, website ads are big business. As long as he stays popular he can probably live of those earnings.

Hell, he could probably earn a house with Scarlett if revenue improved as well as Scarlett having a job with a good pay. I don't know what Scarlett does in my life and quite frankly I don't want to know considering how much of a fucking whore she is. Her corruption on Spoony's site is to the point where I have to call her Scarlett the Harlot.

Same here. After my horrendous imitation of Dio, I really need to brush up my singing skills for Iron Maiden. Otherwise, it'll be another classic butchered. Now I wish I remember how good/bad I was when singing Ace of Spades.

Agreed on that last bit. While I think the fourth gen games were pretty good (Platinum is at least), the pokemon set was pretty crap for the most part.

I heard the new gen had some new battling systems going with 3 vs 3 battles or something, and it's all a lot more dynamic.

Yeah Spoony keeps mentioning her, but I still don't know who she is. All I know is that he often goes to the movies with her. I'm not assuming girlfriend, but it does sound like Spooney has a thing for her.

But, if I can tell that they just rushed and tried to make a crappy game just for the sake of submitting a shitty game I will blam the crap out of it.

People that are new to flash usually put a lot of effort into there submissions. I put nearly 6 hours into my first attempt at a flash game, and it got blammed. So, personally, I think voting based on effort it a bad thing. If everybody did that, even more crap would pass.

Pffft. Maybe he just got so used to not being here that by the time he was free to come back he'd forgotten about how much he enjoyed it here. I really doubt he thinks his life is actively "better" just because he's not on NG, and that's why he's avoiding it.

Just... forgot/got used to life without it. That's how most changes happen.

Yep, I went through all 16 episodes. I enjoyed them all but the ending to season 3 really irked me. However, I'm sure it's only a plot point for the fourth season. It'll be a while until the next season of Sam & Max, though. Right now Telltale Games are working on Back to the Future games and after that it'll be Jurassic Park. I'm hoping they do Sam & Max season 4 afterwards but I have a feeling we'll have more Monkey Island first. If Telltale have so many games to work on, I wonder if they can expand their company and be able to work on more than one game at a time.

Man, they're sure doing some movie game remakes, eh? All of those movies have had plenty of games already made, but I'm sure they can produce some of the best ones yet. Too bad they're such a small studio and can't get them all made at once, like Valve... oh wait. #;-}>

Thank you very much for standing against this as well. I may be retired from the portal but I'll still do what I can on my Toohot100 alt. The retarded voters were what made my retirement hard to reach on that day and it was even to the point if one particular flash passed, I would have quit NG for good. Even gfox was ready to do that as well. Good thing the crappy flash got blammed.

Hm? I don't remember ever being so up in arms about one specific flash that I threatened to quit NG. Not saying it didn't happen/I didn't agree/say that... just... can't remember. O_o

That sounds like a good deal for seven CCR albums.

Yes. I've seen the box with LPs a few years ago and I think it cost about 70 Euros... but that would still be a reasonable price for 7 albums.

Well if she's working 9 to 5 every day of the week, then it might be a problem. But if she's a part-timer, there must be an oppertunity to use the car from time to time. Unless your schedule coincides with hers.

9 to 5? You wish... her regular work schedule is from 8 to 4, but most of the time she works until 5 or even longer. Plus, she has to work on some weekends and sometimes even night shift. (after all, she works as a medical doctor in a hospital ;) ).

As a doctor? Nice!

Yeah, still assistant doctor but at least she gets payed quite good for it (even though the payment could be a bit higher, lol).

32.000? Holy shit 0.0

Big city, big Uni. ^^

Yeah. I'm sure the universities in Amsterdam and Rotterdam have many students as well, but Delft is not even that much of a city.

But it has a "leaning tower" as well.

I think the Technical University of Delft only has about 15.000 students or so. Then again, Germany probably has 5 times as many students in total.

Yeah, maybe. There is also a Technical University in Hamburg, but I don't know how many students it has.

So Hamburg has two universities?

Three. :P
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_i n_Hamburg#Universities

Well that's not too bad. It's about 1 hour and 30 minutes for me, but once I have moved to The Hague it's no more than about 50 minutes.

Lol, I always have to stop and think which city is meant by "The Hague". ^^

I guess in Germany it might also be known as 'Den Haag'.

Yes. Even though most people don't pronpunce it the right way.

1 hour 30 minutes can be quite long when you are riding a train.

It's not only the train. It's about 30 minutes bus, 15 minutes subway, 15 minutes train and 30 minutes walking and waiting in between.

Yeah, this is quite annoying. I only have to change once from the bus to the train. Most of the time I don't have to wait that long. But there's a train every ten minutes anyway.

Wait, David Hasslehoff? 0.o
I always thought it was this guy.

Oh, Peter Maffay and his singing wart.

I think David's german is better than Peter's...

All I know about the Hoff is that he is a washed up B-grade actor who used to play in series like Baywatch and Knight Rider. I used to watch Knight Rider as a kid, but I have no idea if it was such a good series or not. Probably not.

Hey, I have all 4 seasons of Knight Rider on DVD. It's great!

Well... better than Justin Bieber at least. But that isn't saying much.

At least they're not the worst.

They're close, though.

I know those three bands. I only have one Agent Steel album but Unstoppable Force is SPEED FUCKING METAL!

Sounds good. I'm more into Thrash, but Speed is good as well.

Thrash and speed are similar enough. Give Chosen to Stay a listen to so you know what the general sound of the band as well as the vocalist is like.

The band sounds great. The vocalist... well, it takes time to get used to his voice. ^^

I was sceptical when I read about them, I think I put them near the bottom of my "bands to check out" list.

I wouldn't blame you for putting them on a low priority. The songs seem to be hit and miss for metal fans. Even if their own songs aren't so good, the live album is still highly recommended. Here is Dies Irae metalized!

Sounds interesting. I guess it's one of those bands where I think: "Oh yeah, I might watch them if I don't have anything else to do" and then end up not watching them because I completly forgot at which time they are supposed to play. >_>

I can convert between 12-hour-clock and 24-hour-clock without any trouble (after all, most wrist watches are 12-hour-clocks), but sometimes I am confused by this "am" and "pm" stuff. I don't even know what the hell "am" and "pm" means without looking it up. ^^

"before noon" and "after noon" in Latin.

I figured that, but I don't know how to write it in latin. :P

"Wahrheitssprecher" just doesn't sound right in german, just like "truthsayer" doesn't sound right in english.

Odd.

Maybe not odd, just employers, agencies, everyone, not having any fucking idea what to do.

Yeah, the games have said to be an improvement as well as the new set of Pokemon. They can't beat the classics but they're easily better than the previous generation.

Agreed on that last bit. While I think the fourth gen games were pretty good (Platinum is at least), the pokemon set was pretty crap for the most part.

The designers were so lazy for the fourth generation. I'm just glad the fifth generation has no pre-evolved forms of older Pokemon. Besides the odd move, they're all fucking pointless.

I heard the new gen had some new battling systems going with 3 vs 3 battles or something, and it's all a lot more dynamic.

Yep, it has 3v3.

Hell, he could probably earn a house with Scarlett if revenue improved as well as Scarlett having a job with a good pay. I don't know what Scarlett does in my life and quite frankly I don't want to know considering how much of a fucking whore she is. Her corruption on Spoony's site is to the point where I have to call her Scarlett the Harlot.

Yeah Spoony keeps mentioning her, but I still don't know who she is. All I know is that he often goes to the movies with her. I'm not assuming girlfriend, but it does sound like Spooney has a thing for her.

Sadly, that's Spoony's girlfriend...

He did well to move on with things.

Yep, I went through all 16 episodes. I enjoyed them all but the ending to season 3 really irked me. However, I'm sure it's only a plot point for the fourth season. It'll be a while until the next season of Sam & Max, though. Right now Telltale Games are working on Back to the Future games and after that it'll be Jurassic Park. I'm hoping they do Sam & Max season 4 afterwards but I have a feeling we'll have more Monkey Island first. If Telltale have so many games to work on, I wonder if they can expand their company and be able to work on more than one game at a time.

Man, they're sure doing some movie game remakes, eh?#

I wouldn't say they're remakes. These have a partial continuity to the events after the last film. Yeah, that means more fun with the Delorean AFTER seeing it destroyed at the end of the films.

Too bad they're such a small studio and can't get them all made at once, like Valve... oh wait. #;-}>

I feel Telltale have the possibility to expand their team and be able to work on more games at a time. That would get us more Sam & Max and Monkey Island sooner. Despite the wait, at least Sam & Max season 4 is definite, unlike Psychonauts 2 which isn't 100% confirmed.

That isn't even manners at all. Who even uses their feet for knives and forks at a dinner table anyway?

A dragon who feels like it?

I don't see why any sane dragon would do that.

Well, I was gonna say name tags and paint, but you already said "painted hats" and "renamed hats," so indirectly those have already been covered.
