Impressive indeed. You don't see many of those anymore. Congrats!

I guess that's to be expected since you are kind of close to France and it's cuisine. I was kind of hoping there was some weird dishes like eating octopi or something.

Naaah. Is there any western country in which that is normal? Greece perhaps, but even there I wouldn't expect it from students.

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

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

I learned to cook and bake when I was young so it's natural for me. Not to mention that I often watch cooking show when there is nothing else on, which is often. Like everything it take practice.

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.

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

Love the optimism but one is difficult enough.to get.

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.

They said they want to move away from the NG copying they did with the old site. Retrogade was originally Bedn's site and he heavily based the site off NG.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

This here marks my 8,000th Post!

Nice how I got it on my 6th NG birthday. Only 2,000 more to go until I hit the big 10k. So far I'm on schedule to make it there before the end of the year :)

Is updating when I have 9000 posts allowed though or would I have to wait until I hit 10,000?

You are welcome to post here if you want to celebrate your 9,000th post, but for the love of God don't use that meme again. It's kinda lame by now because it's been used soooooo many times already.

That is true. I'm mean British people have beans with their breakfast. What's up with that? :P

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.

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.

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.

For the first appartment I suggest second hand furniture. We bought a three-piece suite for 70 Euros(!) when we moved in here.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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

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

It's only because we are too happy lately.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Some more nice achievements coming in the next few days.

Except for breakfast. Who has time to cook beans for breakfast anyways unless you get them out of a can.

Well we put salt on it as well, but I find it kinda boring without anything else on it. It just needs a sauce.

Mayonaisse doesn't have to be so fattening. We got plenty of 'ligher' versions that only contain 30% fat or so instead of 70-80%. Of course there's a slight difference in taste, but it's still great. Also, fries don't have to be so unhealthy either. Sometimes they baked them in lard here, but for restaurants and such that has been forbidden for a long time now. At home we usually bake them in sunflower oil or peanut oil, which is much better for you than lard.

Peanut oil is by far the best oil in my opinion by the way.

I'm not so sure about that last statement. Maybe if she's very demanding, wants to go buy new clothes every day, wants a new car, wants stupid clothing for her stupid chiwawa etc. Perhaps hookers would be a cheaper option :p

That's good, right?

Failing is never good.

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.

Too bad, they seem like ideal songs for the radio.

Sad But True might just a little bit too "heavy" for the radio and The Unforgiven is over 6 minutes long. Hardly ideal for pop music radio stations. They prefer songs that aren't longer than 4 minutes.

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. ^^

Ain't My Bitch isn't on S&M. Oh well.

S&M is the only album I won't pick up. The concept might be interesting, but the excecution is somewhat lame. The orchestra is drowned out in huge parts of the songs.

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.

Remember the time when we agreed on newer technology not lasting as long as older stuff?

Oh yeah. But we wheren't too happy about that, so I didn't mark that day.

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

Golden Gauntlets are lame. :(

No, it's awesome!

Auz says it's lame. So that's 2 votes for "lame" and only one vote for "awesome".

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.

We bought a sofa yesterday, for 1,800 Euro. :o
But if we had such an expensive sofa right from the start we wouldn't really appreciate it. I am of the opinion that you have to start "low", with cheap furniture that doesn't fit together too well. And then when you have the money to buy new stuff, you'll be able to appreciate it more.

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.

Billy and Benno rule!

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.

Depends on the country, I guess.
I bet 4 weeks would be enough to travel through the netherlands from north to south and east to west. :P

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.

You just need an awesome time management and quite a few drugs to keep you awake.
"Okay, that was two minutes of Yoshimite Park, on to our next location!"

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.

Teachers here have playground duty. Maybe it's because the janitors are too lazy to walk around?

Hmm, not that I'm aware of.

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

With a standard 9 to 5 job, it's gonna be tough. Especially if you got some kids running about.

True but that's life for you.

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

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.

Yeah, that's where he was in FFVII. Definitely not the Malboros we know and fear.

Also going to be released on the PSP.

Wow... so it must be the FF game that is available on the most amount of systems.

It is. Hell, once they've remade FFV and VI on 3DS (which will happen eventually), they'll probably put them on the new PSP as well.

Not a bad choice.

I suppose not. I like the DS' improved graphics very much. I'm curious how it will look for the PSP then though.

It uses the traditional sprites but they're all redrawn.

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 where that would be. Usually I went training near the entrance if I went to the Northern Crater, but my favorite training place was that old aircraft wreck in which you could morph monsters into HP ups, Attack ups etc.

There were two mystical rooms that were full of magic pots and Movers. That gave you uber EXP, AP and money. Equip EXP Plus materia and anything else alike and you've got some serious gains from them.

Yeah peanut is great for deep frying stuff since it has a high smoke point and doesn't leave a peanut taste as one might think.

And, light mayonnaise is not worth eating. You can't skip out of the fat in mayo and have it taste decent. I dunno I just see mayo as a dressing rather than a dipping sauce. Now just toss some chili and cheese sauce on top, there you have my perfect addition to fries.

I'm not so sure about that last statement. Maybe if she's very demanding, wants to go buy new clothes every day, wants a new car, wants stupid clothing for her stupid chiwawa etc. Perhaps hookers would be a cheaper option :p
