So really no different than over here. I was hoping there would be some exotic foods over there.

There might still be small differences in our food though, but for the most part I suppose it's about the same. Perhaps it's typical for students in western countries. Students from other areas tend to bring more exotic foods to our uni.

My gf loves to cook though, so I won't have to go into such a diet :)

Lucky, lucky.
I love cooking. I usually keep it simple since it's just me but whenever I visit family I'm usually the one doing all the cooking.

Nice! I wish I was a better cook, but I'm just a little bit too clumsy in the kitchen to be any good at cooking. I can prepare a few simple things though and at least I'm trying :p

The type of girl that would instantly fall for that wouldn't be the type of girl I like on the long run :p

That is very true but shallow girls need love too.

Better make sure you have several of them then so that you won't get bored so quickly :p

Wrong, Retrogade is BACK! However, we're still in alpha phase.

I see. It isn't anything like I remember it to be. I guess they're done with trying to copy NG?

Maybe it's because they were your childhood heroes and Banjo, Kazooie and Conker were mine. It just doesn't feel right when they drastically change their looks like that.

I think even if I was with Nintendo back then, I'd still see the new Crash and Spyro 100x worse than new Banjo and Kazooie.

Well I think it just depends on who your childhood heroes were. Nostalgia and all.

We'd be like the elders of the BBS. Some kind of senate that will vote against any changes :p

And the young users better respect the elderly.

They better do! At least we'll be in a position of authority if we're still mods :p

With high/maxed out Vitality it usually wasn't a big problem. Your limit break activates at 1/4th of max HP so with 2,499 HP remaining you could still take a hit or two. Otherwise you could always cast protect and shell.

When it comes to the bigger bosses, it's not a good idea to have low HP.

Well actually, the more problematic battles were the ones VS the Ruby Dragon and Malboro's. Those were by far the most difficult fights in the game (apart from Ultima and Omega Weapon), although you could protect yourself sufficiently against a Malboro's Bad Breath.

The Ruby Dragon however had this Breath attack that could take loads of your HP if your Vitality was low.

Can't remember what it was like in FF VI again. Didn't they improve it in the GBA version?

I haven't got the GBA version yet, let alone playing it. However, I did win a copy for £12 on eBay so I'll get to that once I'm done with FFV. I could care less if FFVI Advance still has the limit break or not. It's never necessary to beat any bosses.

I can't remember that well, but I thought I heard that FFIV Advance had several changes from the original and the limit break system might be one of them. I know they also added some extra sidequests to get summons like Leviathan and Raiden.

Lol, yeah that summon was soooo cheap. Although it can not kill the weapons instantly if I remember correctly.

Nah, the weapons are far too strong to be beaten down by the knights in one blow. Sephiroth on the other hand, he's toast if your magic is strong enough.

IIRC correctly he had around 80,000 HP and KOTR hits opponents 16 times or so. So yeah, he'd be toast anyhow unless your magic was very low.

Doesn't he start using it after his HP drops below 1/2 of his max health? I don't know, but he did use it on me once and afterwards I killed him with Omnislash.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's a move that's used when he has low HP.

Sounds logical. Kinda lame though that it always takes 9/10th of your current HP. It can never kill you. Might have been better if it always took 9/10th of your max HP or something.

Yeah we were considering that and went to some second hand stores. However, most of the stuff we've found there wasn't really our taste and there could always be something wrong with it. So we're mostly buying at IKEA right now. It's fairly cheap still and at least you can rest assured that you got some decent stuff.

But we also got a lot of stuff from our family like a desk chair, pans, lamps and other nifty items. Saves us a lot of money :)

Although we have some friends coming up with plans for a roadtrip in eastern Europe... sounded interesting to me, but I don't know yet. My summer holiday isn't very long and it might be better if I go find a summerjob to replenish my bank account.

Sounds really nice, but I always wonder why people have so much free time to do such road trips, heh.

Well it'll be summer holiday so most of us will have a few weeks. I don't suppose we're really going to Siberia and back, so we don't need that much time.

Oh well, our last trip to Scotland was pretty nice, even though it lasted for only 10 days. Next time we might go to Canada, but it would be a much longer trip than only 10 days. :)

Lol, if you want to see a reasonable portion of the country then yeah... prepare to be around there for at least a week or four.

Maybe if things settled down, it wouldn't have been that bad for us. Although I wouldn't have been happy with the concentration camps of course =/

Just imagine this:
No freedom of speech - If you critize your leader, you might end up in prision
No free press - Because freedom of speech is limited, the press isn't free anymore as well
No "visiting other countries" - If there are "other countries" left I doubt you would be allowed to travel there. For example people who lived in eastern germany where only allowed to travel to Russia, Hungary and other "communist countries".
Plus: A leader whom you just can't understand, because he speaks so indistinguishable >_>

Aw... yeah that doesn't sound good at all :(

Heh. I remember the janitors in high school seemed to work a lot harder than the ones in university.

At least they where really pissed when you tried to enter the schoolground when school was over.

In my school they were mostly pissed if you left the school's area during breaks and such :p

level up... but I never deposit so I don't know how I went up.

Hm, I guess it is somewhat relaxing. I think you can also relax to Kid A, but well... it's some kind of "uncomfortable relaxing", if you know what I mean.

It's one I can relax to, though.

Also, Beth Gibbons just has a really great voice, so the album is worth checking out, imo.

That's quite a random recommendation.

I thought the black album was to have a more mainstream appeal. Nothing Else Matters is one that easily fits on radio stations.

Yes, but that's about the only one. I just can't imagine hearing "Of Wolf and Man" on the radio.

Maybe not but there's still The Unforgiven and Sad but True.

Well, going to the Load/ReLoad albums lost some meaning to the name Metallica.

"Fuel" could've been released on the black album as well. Just try it out yourself: Listen to the Black Album and then immediatly after that to Fuel.

Then there would be no reason for me to pick up ReLoad at all. Then again, I got S&M so I could get a taster of some of the songs from those albums as well as hearing some symphonic epicness with their music. The Call of Ktulu sounds badass.

Have you done this to any other days when we were both happy on something?

I think we never where happy about the same thing at the same time before.

No, we have been happy for a few things in the past.

The thing about him was his Breath attack. If he didn't use it, you were fine. Otherwise you were usually fucked to some degree. With Malboro's... well you just had to make sure you had one character with 100% resistance against confusion, berserk and silence so that you could use Esuna to save the other two. It's still a difficult fight though, no matter how you put it.

So FFIV is available on the SNES, the Playstation, the GBA and the DS? Damn.

I'll stick to my choice to play it on the DS and be hardcore and all.

I think both forms of Sephiroth had over 100,000 HP and yes, Knights of the Round can take that much off.

I looked it up and apparently KOTR is 13 hits so that comes down to 129,987 HP damage max. Still enough to take Sephiroth down in one attack I think.

I use recipes all the time; you can't memorize everything. It's not really the recipe but how you prepare it that makes all the difference, especially when it comes to overcooking. Most people don't know to slightly under cook your eggs (scrambled, omelet, etc.) because it will continue to cook when out of the pan. Little tidbits of knowledge like that.

Well all you need is a big ass car and a six figure salary ;) Or just some good looks and rock hard abs. Either of the two will do.

I do have six figures in my salary from NG for all my modding duties, but they are all zeros though. I'm not to overtly concerned about it at the moment. Somebody will pop up I'm sure or I'll just be one of those old billionaire with a young wife. Either way is fine.

Hm, I guess it is somewhat relaxing. I think you can also relax to Kid A, but well... it's some kind of "uncomfortable relaxing", if you know what I mean.

It's one I can relax to, though.

Maybe you should get Amnesiac as well, then.

Also, Beth Gibbons just has a really great voice, so the album is worth checking out, imo.

That's quite a random recommendation.

It is, and I only recommended it because I was listening to it at the time I wrote the post. ^^
But it's still an album worth checking out, imo.
And also Portishead is a badn worth checking out. Beth Gibbons is the singer of Portishead, btw. ;)

I thought the black album was to have a more mainstream appeal. Nothing Else Matters is one that easily fits on radio stations.

Yes, but that's about the only one. I just can't imagine hearing "Of Wolf and Man" on the radio.

Maybe not but there's still The Unforgiven and Sad but True.

I only heard The Unforgiven once on the radio. And at that time the song was already a few years old.

Well, going to the Load/ReLoad albums lost some meaning to the name Metallica.

"Fuel" could've been released on the black album as well. Just try it out yourself: Listen to the Black Album and then immediatly after that to Fuel.

Then there would be no reason for me to pick up ReLoad at all. Then again, I got S&M so I could get a taster of some of the songs from those albums as well as hearing some symphonic epicness with their music. The Call of Ktulu sounds badass.

Funny that I got confused with the songs/albums there. I didn't mean the first song of ReLoad, but the first song of Load, which is called "Ain't my bitch" and not "Fuel".
But oh well, Fuel would fit on the black album as well. ^^

Have you done this to any other days when we were both happy on something?

I think we never where happy about the same thing at the same time before.

No, we have been happy for a few things in the past.

Must have been very long ago, because I don't own the calendars where I marked the days (if I did mark them, that is) anymore.

Unless I ask to step down but we're far too late now.

You could ask for a drop in Experience as well. :P

Nah, I've got to get the golden gauntlet in... TWO DAYS!

Golden Gauntlets are lame. :(

Congrats on that Coop. But I have to ask how do you know that only 116 people have ever had that before? Years back for all you or I know when the exp gaps weren't crazy there could have been others with who had that voting power before they lost it due to inactivity.

But on another note my next milestone passed 7.77 Base voting power. It pales in comparision to your 8.88 voting power there by making it less of a big deal then it would have been if it didn't pale.

I conquered Mongolia yesterday if that makes you feel any better. Today I'm in the office, so tomorrow might bring more conquerage. We'll see.

As for me, I've passed 900 medals and have the urge to play yet more medal games. I'd say as long as I get to 1,000 by the end of the week, I'll be happy with that.

Nice - I overran the city of Tyre yesterday and today the English Campaign begins in earnest. London, York and Nottingham will fall prey to the Songhai Empire.

I'd somewhat win in this case since I'd have the band I'd rather see live.

Yeah, but you're going to see Iron Maiden. Iron. Fucking. Maiden!

Don't get so pissed off because of the support act, it's not worth it.

Their fault for picking up crappy bands. They did the same thing for their Somewhere Back in Time World Tour but last year they actually had a good band who was exclusive to America.

These things happen. I'm sure Bruce will make it up to you personally :P

Because the gaps were frozen at the 2007 redesign. There are only 116 more users with as much or more experience than me, so 116 users have achieved 8.88 Base Voting Power. Sure, some people have retired but below that mark.

Educated guesswork at the most.

Yeah I know. Wasn't he accused of stealing NG's code or something to program the photoshop portal?

He may have been. Can't exactly remember now.

Better make sure we still have time to mod the forums by then. :P

Hopefully I'll have a full time job by then. Fortunately I will probably be sitting behind a desk and a computer, so I might have the oppurtunity to slack every now and again and go to NG.

I'll have to do any modding at home if I can even find any time for it.

I don't recall Ruby Dragon being much of a problem. Malboro on the other hand, no comment.

The thing about him was his Breath attack. If he didn't use it, you were fine. Otherwise you were usually fucked to some degree. With Malboro's... well you just had to make sure you had one character with 100% resistance against confusion, berserk and silence so that you could use Esuna to save the other two. It's still a difficult fight though, no matter how you put it.

Malboros were never an easy monster to beat, although some like FFVII didn't put much thought into him.

Yeah, FFIV Advance did come with extras. One of them was being able to switch party members later on which FFIV had none of that at all originally. I'm tempted to get FFIV Advance for the extras but the PS1 port IS playable. Well, I still have FFIV on DS as well.

So FFIV is available on the SNES, the Playstation, the GBA and the DS? Damn.

Also going to be released on the PSP.

I'll stick to my choice to play it on the DS and be hardcore and all.

Not a bad choice.

I think both forms of Sephiroth had over 100,000 HP and yes, Knights of the Round can take that much off.

I looked it up and apparently KOTR is 13 hits so that comes down to 129,987 HP damage max. Still enough to take Sephiroth down in one attack I think.

It's more than enough. As for the weapons, they need a few KOTR summons to be beaten down. However, getting a master materia for KOTR takes forever. You gotta grind in the Northern Crater for hours, especially in one particular room.

I don't know, the most peculiar thing you might find here is that we like our fries with mayonaisse :p

Well that isn't too bad. A little odd from my view but I know some people who do that as well.

Yeah, cause it tastes great together. You should try it as well sometime. Definitely beats ketchup :p

Well I suppose. I always hear people say: If you can read, you can cook. Of course referring to that all you have to do is follow the recipe. Still, it's not always as simple as it sounds in practice. So many things you have to pay attention to sometimes.

I use recipes all the time; you can't memorize everything. It's not really the recipe but how you prepare it that makes all the difference, especially when it comes to overcooking. Most people don't know to slightly under cook your eggs (scrambled, omelet, etc.) because it will continue to cook when out of the pan. Little tidbits of knowledge like that.

Those are the things you'll learn from experience I guess. And the way to obtain experience is to practice, practice and then practice some more.

Well all you need is a big ass car and a six figure salary ;) Or just some good looks and rock hard abs. Either of the two will do.

I do have six figures in my salary from NG for all my modding duties, but they are all zeros though. I'm not to overtly concerned about it at the moment. Somebody will pop up I'm sure or I'll just be one of those old billionaire with a young wife. Either way is fine.

Lol XD

However, most of the stuff we've found there wasn't really our taste and there could always be something wrong with it. So we're mostly buying at IKEA right now. It's fairly cheap still and at least you can rest assured that you got some decent stuff.

IKEA has some pretty nice stuff, but the problem is: It always looks like IKEA Stuff. ^^
Sometimes you can see IKEA Stuff in some TV series and you can instantly say: Oh look, they bought their furniture at IKEA, heh.
But generally, IKEA furniture is pretty good.

Yeah I know. Often it really has this basic, no-frills look. Especially the cheaper furniture they sell. It doesn't look bad though, but you do need to add some little things to make it look less bare.

But it's decent stuff really. It feels very solid and you can be sure that it will hold for at least 5-10 years.

Lol, if you want to see a reasonable portion of the country then yeah... prepare to be around there for at least a week or four.

When I was in the USA with my father and my brother, we where there for four weeks. And we only traveled around in Florida... (ok, we had a one week vacation in Chicago as well, because some relatives live there)

Okay, maybe four weeks is still way too little to actually see much of the country.

I've discussed a trip to America with my gf and together we want to see so much that we'd need at least half a year to see everything. The inconvenient thing is, we pretty much want to go to all sides of the country. I want to go to Alaska, Florida, the Yoshimite Park, the Nevada desert. She wants to go to New York, San Francisco... It's gonna be impossible to see all that in a four week holiday.

In my school they were mostly pissed if you left the school's area during breaks and such :p

Nah, that's what the teachers are there for. ^^

Naaah they're usually in their classrooms or in the teachers lounge. It were the janitors who were always patrolling in and around the school.

IIRC he was only on that frozen glacier mountain and he wasn't that tough. In other games I remember him to be much harder. You could even consider him a mini-boss.
