If you have a look around here (<- link warning!) you'll agree that it isn't exactly a good area to live in. If you zoom out you'll see that it is right at the city border (it's called "Mümmelmannsberg", which basically means "hare hill" ^^).

Or just have a look at the picture here (<- another link!).

From google street view the area doesn't look too bad,

It's only because of the trees. :P

but in that picture you can see it's the typical, crappy, 1960's architecture kind of neighbourhood :p

Actually, it was build from 1970 to 79. :P

So anybody who's sick at those lecture times will have to miss the information? Lame!

You can always ask other students if you can copy their notes.

Hardly anybody I know takes notes during the lectures :p

But in this lecture you HAD to take notes! So there should be somebody of who you can copy the slides you missed.

Yes, but that's not exactly news. Remember that dreadful show on MTV he once had?

That's why I think Ozzy is far worse. Apart from the first few solo albums, nothing good has come out from him ever since he left Black Sabbath. A friend of mine yesterday thinks Ozzy is dead to him for collaborating with Justin Bieber.

I never was interested in his post-Sabbath carreer. I only know that "Dreamer" has been played to death by various radio stations shortly after it's release.

Yeah, that's another good one. Anything else?

Loud neighbours? ^^

Hahahahaha. Good idea! We can make the album more and more noisy as it goes on.

We should reflect that in the song titles as well. For example, the first track is called "noisy", the second one "even noisier" the third "the noisiest" and so on. We could go up to "extremly fucking loud noise!"

Oh, I meant less than 6,000 saves above there. Still, at least you'll be passing me in saves.

It's a start. But I still try to stop at 77,776 B/P for at least a week, if I ever get that high in B/P. ^^

If? I'm sure it's possible for you to get there eventually.

I'm not even at 50k yet.

Oh hey, I just hit B/P rank 444. That was unexpected.

135,000 Total Points

Now that's a sly achievement. If I count only the pentapoints, as opposed to Bahamut's new all inclusive hexapoints, that is.

I suppose you haven't seen an awful lot of beaches in your life. Lakes sound good, but if they're dirty and muddy they're not very suitable for swimming.

I would actually call that very short... but then again, I hear most games these days don't have much more than 10 hours of main story.

Yeah, I hear all the COD campaigns last 8 hours or less. I find 8-10 hours reasonable but obviously others want more.

I guess it also focusses a lot on multiplayer.

In the 'good old' days of the N64, most games' main story lasted at least 20 hours. ±20 hours is what I usually expect from a game so I'll find any less disappointing.

After passing one inactive user, I can safely say I am now in the Top 150 in EXP! It's been tricky getting in the Top 150 over the last week considering I have two active users who are tied with me in EXP. However, even if two are ahead of me, I'm in the Top 150 either way! Here's my EXP ranks milestone archive:

Top 200 EXP: 10/02/10
Top 250 EXP: 19/07/09
Top 300 EXP: 21/01/09
Top 400 EXP: 13/02/08
Top 500 EXP: 01/07/07

It's taken just over a year to get to the Top 150 after reaching the Top 200 but that's to be expected. However, it makes me dread how long it'll be to get to the Top 100.

I know it's kind of a weak one, but 11,111 Saves today.

Don't worry though, posting this helps me build toward another one that's really awesome that should hit by Wednesday.

Yeah WW2 is mostly responsible for the rapid building of cheap apartments. The centre of Rotterdam was bombed as well and that's why it has completely lost it's nice and cultural buildings. After the war, the centre was filled with asphalt and tall, 'modern' buildings to get the city back on its feet, but as a result the city now has no athosphere whatsoever. It's crowded, noisy and everything is grey.

Of course it is - that's why you remember it ;)

Truth be told though, I haven't seen the film. I only know that line.

He's okay I guess. Haven't his games been going downhill lately?

If I plan to aim for 50k, I won't be there until March 2018 so that's another 7 years to wait for. My NG account isn't even that old yet.

Same here then, except a few months after. I wonder if I'll be in the top 10 experience by then.

Exactly. I thought there were plenty of vague dialogues and scenes in the original game, so they could improve on that.

If there's one Final Fantasy game that could do with improving storyline, it's FFIX. Freya and Amarant only had a short amount of time to tell their backstory.

Indeed. It was kinda vague why Amarant joined you in the first place. He wanted to go with you because he wanted to know what made you so strong or something... I don't think it was ever explained where he really came from and why he became a mercenary.

As for Freya, well you got her story with Sir Lancelot, but it was kinda odd how Lancelot just disappeared for the rest of the game and Freya never brought him back up again.

Beside Quina, the other characters got much more time in which their stories were explained.

I guess it also focusses a lot on multiplayer.

Yeah, most of these big titles heavily rely on multiplayer these days. Sure, it provides great replay value but at least give campaign a chance. These companies may as well forget about campaign mode.

I agree. Personally I tend to get bored with multiplayer fairly quickly and I can't imagine I'm really going to like playing against douchy kids who take the game a little bit too seriously. So I do want a satisfying campaign mode at the very least.

Coop, put down the Whiskey and pay attention to your fucking achievements!

87,000 B/P

Plus one tomorrow.

The important thing is that we don't panic. There are rules for situations like this. Now, the first order of business is lunch. I suggest a nice lobster Zoidberg, I mean lobster Newburg, I mean Doctor Zoidberg.

To be honest I don't know any other large forums other than NG and I guess 4chan.

Oh well, at your age it's probably not too difficult to learn. The motion you have to do to keep your head above the water is quite easy. Although maybe it's one of those things that you learn best when you're a kid...

I think the overwhelming fear of drowning is a really major hurdle as well. I rather tackle heights like in a plane or roller coaster, than go into water where I can't touch bottom.

Top 1,500 in Experience. This is indeed a great day for humanity.

Happy late Valentine's Day, all.

I leveled up... Yesterday, Lmfao.

The Royal Mail fucking sucks!

I plan to watch them all again once the next season comes out over here. America have had it for a while now and as usual they have us in limbo. Fucking cunts.

I hate to say it but you're likely to go before him. Coop is far too consistent.

I still haven't moved up any ranks since the last experience update :(

These are the higher ranks we're in and it's not getting any easier. I entered the Top 200 when I was level 43. That isn't too bad, however.

Well, maybe you should see his appearance for the upcoming game... See picture below if you dare.

I highly doubt it. I bet most of the Top 50 users are very persistent with their ranks and will continue to deposit, even well after level 60.

There really isn't much you can say about Quina.

PC gaming seems more calmer than what you find on PS3 and 360.

The revolution is so 2010.

Yes but level 2 isn't worth mentioning at all due to being very easy to obtain. Infact, you only need to collect the 10 EXP from signing up to newsletters and depositing on the same day to reach level 2 on the day you sign up.

Fair enough - I really enjoyed that part of the game, it just gave people the sense that there was something more to this game than just the killing and a personal agenda.

I get enough enjoyment from the main plot.

But that's the thing - blandy future Desmond Man is going to be the main plot somewhere down the line. You need to understand this, if you're planning on playing Brotherhood and beyond.

That's more like it. So, have you thought of getting TF2?

Nah - not really my type of game. I only really got into games like Fallout, because of the story behind it all.

Besides, Dungeons is still really cool :D

I'd get that Dungeons game but I already have enough games to play. Then again, I'll probably pick it up during a sale.

If you do, beware, the learning curve is steep, though it's a lot of fun.

Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at you! *Fry proceeds to get beaten - GAME OVER on screen* And that's how you play the game!

You stink, loser.

Same here. It's kind of like "Say hello to my little friend", from Scarface. I'm still to see that one.

I'm in the zone, baby!

Net milestone gained 111 in B/P once again. Since this is the second time I gained this it really isn't a big deal >_<

I just became the 10th user to reach 60,000 Saves

Just managed to prevent FattyWhale (milinko959) from beatingme there, so I'd better get on and see if I can catch illuminate, to give myself some room to work with in the top 10.

i leveled up to level 2

Ho-hum

Level two doesn't count for anything here since it can be gotten real quick. Come back and post when you reach level 10. Then it will be reconized by the people here.
