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.

Yeah they did. Still, it's a home game for Roma, so it's really embarrassing to concede 3 goals...

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.

Vegan Restaurants? I honestly don't know, but I'm pretty sure there are some.
*looks up restaurants on google*
Well, by the looks of it there are quite a few vegetarian restaurants that also offer vegan meals.

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.

Quite so. But to look on the bright side: At least Germany lost the war. I really wouldn't want to live in a world where the Nazis had won 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

We only have such a rule in computer labs, but not in the normal lecture rooms. Sometimes I think the prof doesn't care what the students do during the lecture, as long as they don't disturb it.

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.

Yes, one can get the impression that scots are of tough stock. Jordan should've pulled out his fake teeth and look angrily at Gattuso. I bet he would've showed the white feather.

Hell, that doesn't even look bad. Maybe not as good as the N64 appearance but we've seen far worse.

Well, I just think they look way different from their N64 appearance and I don't like how they tried to move away from their cartoony look and tried to add some realism to their images. They did the same with Conker, although there they didn't do such a crappy job.

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

Haha, we only wonder who'll still be around by then.

I'll be 36 then... well I wouldn't be the oldest user ever on NG, but I doubt I'll be able to connect very well with the teenagers on these boards anymore :p

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 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.

I don't think we talked about limit breaks before. I think FF VIII system was alright, although you could abuse it to hell by keeping your HP low. That was actually the main attacking strategy for me throughout the game.

In FF IX I think the limit break system sucked ass. It took ages to load it up and it happened to me often that I had already done enough to kill an opponent and had to let someone's limit break go to waste.

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've never beaten those two weapons, but I can imagine it's very easy to beat Sephiroth if you can take on those.

The thing about Sephiroth was, his Supernova always took 9/10th of your HP and would instantly charge up your limit breaks. So you could counter with Omnislash and what not which would pretty much kill him straight away (if you had decent attack that is though).

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

Yes, one can get the impression that scots are of tough stock. Jordan should've pulled out his fake teeth and look angrily at Gattuso. I bet he would've showed the white feather.

The fact that he did nothing said a lot more. "Y'arnae worth it, pal. Pish off hame tae yer mammy."

I doubt that Gattuso would be able to understand that. ^^

So if I was a poor college student in the Netherlands, what would I survive on? Here in the US it's instant noodles like Ramen.

I think most students go for cheap pastas and microwaved food (pizzas etc.). Not many can cook that well, so they'd rather eat cheap and simple things :p

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

I'm sure women can appreciate a guy with a sense of humor :p

A sense of humor can only go so far. Now, a sports car and a six figure salary...

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

They'd better spell my name right, remember that! L-I-D-E-O! Frankie Lideo!

Either that or a case of getting him to play a bumbling fool in Home Alone.

I knew it! He plays Harry right? I recognized him from Home Alone, but other people said I was wrong. Ha!

Anyway, he's still a thief there. Close enough to a mobster.

Happens to me as well sometimes :)

Yeah, there's that or they can hang out on Retrogade.

But Retrogade has been closed for years now, hasn't it?

Well, I just think they look way different from their N64 appearance and I don't like how they tried to move away from their cartoony look and tried to add some realism to their images. They did the same with Conker, although there they didn't do such a crappy job.

I guess after what I've seen happening to Crash and Spyro, it's not so bad.

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'll be 36 then... well I wouldn't be the oldest user ever on NG, but I doubt I'll be able to connect very well with the teenagers on these boards anymore :p

Don't worry, Tom and Wade should still be around as well as a few old folks we have right now.

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

I don't think we talked about limit breaks before. I think FF VIII system was alright, although you could abuse it to hell by keeping your HP low. That was actually the main attacking strategy for me throughout the game.

I wouldn't say abuse since you have to make sure you're not going to die, although that with Holy Water is downright abusive.

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.

Furthermore, you could upgrade your speed so that the ATB loaded in like... 0.1 second. I had that with Squall. I could rape about every enemy before he even noticed I was attacking him :p

In FF IX I think the limit break system sucked ass. It took ages to load it up and it happened to me often that I had already done enough to kill an opponent and had to let someone's limit break go to waste.

FFIX could have done without the limit break system as well as FFVI. VI is the worst since you could go throughout the game and not encounter it once.

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

I've never beaten those two weapons, but I can imagine it's very easy to beat Sephiroth if you can take on those.

It is. Just make sure you don't use Knights of the Round. Without it, Sephiroth can put out a bit of a fight.

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

The thing about Sephiroth was, his Supernova always took 9/10th of your HP and would instantly charge up your limit breaks. So you could counter with Omnislash and what not which would pretty much kill him straight away (if you had decent attack that is though).

Heh, he never gets enough time to use Supernova on me. :P

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.

YAY!

but perhaps not this summer yet. We might be a little bit short on funds due to us moving to Den Haag and all.

Oh... :(

I can't help it. So far we've invested hundreds of euros already and the furniture is probably going to cost us 1500 euros more at the very least. We might rather skip going on vacation this year.

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.

I don't know if they could really have managed to take over countries like Russia, America, China and so forth. If they hadn't stranded in Russia, they would've probably stranded somewhere else.

Yes, I doubt they would've managed to take over the whole world, but over the half of Europe would be bad enough.

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 =/

The profs don't care about eating, but occasionally some janitor walks around and tells people to put away their drinks and sandwiches. Most people just put their food back on the table as soon as the lecture starts though, the janitor won't come back in anyway :p

Lol, our janitors are too lazy to walk around the building anyway. ^^

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

I just turned level 24.... a week ago...

3k blams and 40k medal points.

Finally some sort of progress in something other than saves.

I just passed 2,222 blams. Onward and upward!

Rank 500 in B/P

Level up tomorrow.

Level 33.

3000 EXP points!
