But "the nosiest" is like the maximum limit.

I see, you are no real artist then. REAL artists don't care about limits that the speech and grammar give. And you haven't heard about the concept of the "hyperlative" yet. :P

Like I said, I'M SURE it's possible for you. :D Have faith in yourself.

Let's say I was at 50,000 B/P now. With my current pace of ~100 - 150 B/P a week it will take me over 3 years to pass you. That's why I write "if I ever get that high". Because right now I don't know if I will keep on B/Ping for another three years.

3 years isn't that much when you think about it.

3 years can be a very long time if you think about it. ^^
We'll see if I keep on B/Ping for that long.

At least the city center of Hamburg is pretty nice, even though it's quite a posh area.

Yeah in that case it probably won't be hard to find someone. But it would've been easier for everyone if the prof recorded his lectures, like they sometimes do here.

Some profs do this "e-learning" stuff, but tbh: Who on earth watches those videos anyway? >_>

Some students do here. It's quite nice that you can just grab a bag of crisps, lean back in your chair and follow the lecture. If you need to go somewhere, just pause it.

This reminds me. We always wanted to order a pizza during one of our lectures and have it delivered into the lecture hall. ^^

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.

I can understand that, but you could practice in undeep water. It's really not that difficult, just shift your body forward and make circles with your hands and feet. Should be enough to keep you afloat.

GOOOOOOOD NO!

He looks as if his parents were a bulldog and a dragon or something. The older Spyro looked waaaay better. At least then he looked like a clever fellow. Now he looks plain dumb and incapable of talking properly.

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

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.

Yeah, see my comment above. Top 50 might be reachable at that point though.

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

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

In my eyes he was always a silly comic relief character which nobody cared about. I liked his blue mage abilities, but they should've picked a different character for that class. One who is actually involved in the story.

Alas, blue mages always seem to be neglected in final fantasy. In my opinion it's one of the more interesting classes.

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.

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

I'm guessing most of the angry 13 year olds don't care much for PC gaming. Which is good.

Going by other shows, all episodes will be shown in American first, then UK, then DVD. Also, series 6 hasn't even finished yet so we have a long wait.

If they haven't even finished the first half of season 6, there really is no hope for us. Let's see if they get it out before my 21st birthday which is in July.

Good thing FFV was flexible so you could make any character Blue Mage.

Yep, Aqualung and Trine are some good abilities for earlier points. However, I tend to stop using it after a while since it doesn't become very useful for the later part of the game.

I see, you are no real artist then. REAL artists don't care about limits that the speech and grammar give. And you haven't heard about the concept of the "hyperlative" yet. :P

I follow logic very well and I feel the nosiest is as noisy as you can get.

"Logic? Where we go, we don't need any... logic!"
But if you are happy with it, we put "The noisiest" at the very end of the album.

3 years isn't that much when you think about it.

3 years can be a very long time if you think about it. ^^
We'll see if I keep on B/Ping for that long.

3 years ago was 2008. Didn't seem that long ago to me.

3 years from now it's 2014, which seems like a century away right now.

I'm now in the top 5,555 as far as experience goes.

Also I recently made post 1,666. Not really a milestone, but pretty cool. 1/6 of 10,000, I suppose.

Wow it's not that bad here. At least it might be good garbage compared to the US with all of our fast food and junk food in our diet.

I wouldn't be surprised if most of the food you'll find here is still halfly eaten burgers and such. That's the kind of food you wouldn't mind throwing away since it's cheap and crappy anyway :p

Lol, I'm sure that'll make you look pretty silly.

Not as bad as a waist swim floatie with a giraffe head on it.

Actually, that'd make you look awesome :p

Damn... this appearance change is almost worse than Banjo & Kazooie's when they moved to the XBox.

You'll probably think they're good in comparison.

Yeah, and that's saying something considering they changed to this.

Perhaps. We can only hope that people will have had it with depositing when they reach level 60. Just like some gave up after reaching Sup Commander.

I am hoping that but then there's the possible level 61. I think some will stop once they reach level 60 since they think level 61 is a gimmick just like the last secret.

Oh well, it will take around 15 more years before we will finally find out.

Well they always asign it to the lamest character it seems. I just like how versatile they are and I like hunting for their moves.

Good thing FFV was flexible so you could make any character Blue Mage.

I prefer such systems as well. In FF VII you were also pretty much free to set every character up in the way you wanted to. That way there weren't any characters which you never used anyway (apart from Cait Sith).

The Enemy Skill materia was pretty awesome if I remember correctly. Moves like Beta and Aqualung could whipe the entire field throughout most of the game.

Yep, Aqualung and Trine are some good abilities for earlier points. However, I tend to stop using it after a while since it doesn't become very useful for the later part of the game.

Well, eventually you find even better abilities like Ultima + Quadra Magic and 4x-Cut which could even take a good chunk out of Sephiroths health IIRC.

Yes, but against a team which name I can't even pronounce they should be able to win either way.

On paper, definitely, but you never know. I believe Shaktar Donetsk has been playing quite well in Europe the last few years and I guess they're quite comfortable in their underdog position.

If you have a wide array of vegan restaurants there I could probably convince my gf to go to Hamburg this summer. Although she might rather go to Berlin. She's talked about spending a holiday there several times now.

I suppose you guys are better at rebuilding cities than we are. Fortunately it was only Rotterdam that was bombed.

Yes, it's amazing if you compare old after war pictures with how it looks today.

I suppose in the end the German cities got it worst during the war.

Haha, actually I had that plan recently as well, since they scheduled lectures from 15:45 to 19:45. I thought I could go make a point by ordering a pizza during the lecture :p

This would be priceless. I guess every student has similar thoughts, but I doubt anybody had the balls to actually do it.

Of course you never know how the teacher will react. If he has a sense of humour he'll probably laugh about it, but if he doesn't... well you might have a problem. I know some teachers hate to be disturbed during the lectures.

Also, there's a no eating rule in the lecture rooms, so I can imagine I won't be allowed to eat the pizza anyway unless I go sit outside :p

Yeah but it won't impress the ladies.

What the fuck Maiden? You have Airbourne, an AC/DC clone as a support act for the Manchester show and Trivium for the London show? There are so many other bands that are worth playing for their shows it's not even funny. Hell, I'd rather see DragonForce (playing for some of their UK shows) than them two and that is saying something!

The magic spells was flexible (as in giving them to any character) but you still had Quistis' limit break for blue magic. Not only did I never use Quistis, I never really liked the limit break system in FFVIII. I feel we've talked about this before but I feel FFX does perfection with limit breaks.

Well, eventually you find even better abilities like Ultima + Quadra Magic and 4x-Cut which could even take a good chunk out of Sephiroths health IIRC.

Yep, those alone can take off a lot of damage from Sephiroth. It's a shame he isn't strong once you've beaten Emerald and Ruby Weapon but at least he isn't a complete joke like Yu Yevon.

I think I'm good for the time being. Making a congrats list would give me less time in the mornings before I go to work.

So do it next week - you're on holiday :P

If they wanted to provide this crap, throwing so much text is not a good idea.

Tell me about it - despite the screen being massive at my girlfriend's house, it's not an HD TV, so the resolution of the text is fuzzy at best. I get a headache from the sub-plot and from trying to read all of that fuzzy text as well.

I'd say games shouldn't involve so much reading but most Final Fantasy games apply to that. I'll just say games with mostly action and very little text doesn't do the pacing well.

Well, I was brought up with games like Civilisation, so there's plenty of reading there. I'm not really seeing the problem so much.

What did you make of Tuesday's Heavyweight bout - Gennaro Gattuso Vs Joe Jordan? According to my dad, if Jordan was angry, he'd have eaten Gattuso alive.

Some other people share that view as well.

I only saw this incident while I was already half asleep. But I guess Gattuso would stand no chance against Jordan.

They made footballers from sturdy materials back in the day. Especially scottish ones.

Never heard of them... *listens on YouTube* wow, that's pretty poor, considering we're going to see a Metal Gig. They aren't a bad band, in their own right, except for the fact that they seem to be highly influenced by AC/DC. Just don't come and support Maiden, thanks.

Also, I had a very vivid dream the other night - I went to the Maiden Gig in Birmingham and there was a guy sitting next to me with a hoodie on, obscuring his face. I was talking to Bex and said that I hoped they played New Frontier, since I can sing along with it. This guy chimes in "New Frontier, from Dance of Death? How's that go, I can't remember." Glancing across to a friend, who is a drummer for Shadow of Intent, he takes up the beat and I launched into the chorus line, which the guy appreciates.

After a few minutes, the stands are starting to fill up and the anticipation builds, plus additional banter. He gets up and says "Time for me to go to work." I was confused, as why would you go to the buildup to the support act and not stay for the rest, because of work. Then he (predictably) reveals that he is in fact Bruce Dickinson, leaving me starstruck, but credited one autograph.

During the gig, they decided to play New Frontier and Nico goes and gets cramp (poor form). Fortunately, a solution is present and Bruce calls on the services of yours truly and Dr. Stix. He takes over from Nico for New Frontier and I sing along with Bruce on stage.

Am I going mad?
