That'll be well under. 67 days for you it'll be when I reach level 47. BUT WAIT, why are we looking forward to the god awful cupid?

Because it leads to something better? Look at it like we did with wishing for 34 to roll around from 33 - you've still got some shit to pass, but then you get the glory of 39's chainsaw (eventually)

Better karaoke bar AND a gaming lounge. You missed out on so much, man.

Yeah, but that just raises the bar for London. Plus, you're an hilarious drunk, so expect that to be exploited!

You missed out on the GAMING LOUNGE!

I've tried to ignore that part, but sadly, I was unable to. You have upset me now and I wanted to be blissfully unaware of the games and so forth that I was missing :'(

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.

Guinness + Ace of Spades = Good Times!

That explains it, there was no Guinness at the karaoke bar in Manchester.

But there must have been alcohol, as you were an hilarious drunk!

Yes, that will make Thee, me and XwaynecoltX. Maybe at some point, I'll be able to become the xth person to reach 5x10k? Doable, but slow progress.

Which part the whistle part of the review system, the reviewing part or both? If it is the whistle part I have quite a rant for that but I will save it. If the review part I have one for that as well but yeah both of them have some many holes in them that it makes swiss cheese look like regular cheese.

If it were a case that all of the programmers (and not just Mindchamber) were atomic supermen that were barely disguised robots, we'd have a whole new shiny toolbox of tools for Review Modding at our disposal.

Of course, as these have not been approved for development yet, we cannot really talk about them, so they remain in the domain of modly secrecy :D

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

At least they're not the worst.

They're close, though.

Far from it. There's many other bands you hate more than Manowar.

Name a few.

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. ^^

Of course, the vocalist is over the top but it's adaptable.

Same goes for HammerFall and Blind Guardian. It took some time to get used to the voices, especially on the first albums.

From 33-35 is longer. All of two levels, where I only have one to avoid. Besides, I'm more unique at that level, where there are at least three times as many 33s out there.

There was around 25 people who attended the meet which is half of what London had. I'd say we did very well for the first meet in Manchester. Ireland only got 8 people to attend so this is a huge improvement.

Twenty five isn't too shabby. It might be an annual thing if you can have that many people attend. They really need a meet somewhere close to where I live. All of the meets in the US are all in the Northeast and that's way too far to travel.

Luis already wants to make the Manchester meets bigger and move away from London due to expenses. Those from the south aren't happy about that but the majority of us have to pay a lot for the meet just to rest.

Yes.

BrokenCYDE

The first time I heard from them was when you mentioned them. So, no.

My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco

Who? I know the name "My Chemical Romance", but "Panic at the Disco"? Never heard of them.

Fall Out Boy

I never heard anything from Fall Out Boy. But it's some shit like "screamo metal" right? It's bad, but not as bad as Manowar.

Jonas Brothers

I only know them because of that meme "the 4th Jonas Brother". Never heard their music.

I'm afraid Manowar is still 2nd worst band ever. :P

Yes, with Guardian it wasn't that "difficult", but the first time I heard HammerFall (the Glory to the Brave album) I expected a different voice after the intro of "The Dragon lies bleeding".

I can see their complaints. For me, traveling to New York and getting a hotel, cab fare, and food/drink would be way way too much. Out of a random guess, where do you think most of the English Newgrounders live? Northwards or in the South?
