You should show the ending of The Room instead. Much funnier.

One of these days, I'll sit there and watch this film the whole way through. Most of my education on this film is from clips on YouTube.

Yeah I bet the loss of responses cost you since he always tend to respond to reviews.

I think the damage was 10 or 11. Not good, when I dropped down to a gain of 7 on the month.

All day breakfast sandwich - egg, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, fried slice and beans all in a sandwich for about £8. My dad's cousin had one once, with "thick bread", which amounted to half a hollowed out loaf.

That sounds pretty good actually.

I don't think I could stomach it... oh and add some Black pudding in there as well :D

When I do my lists, I never add an addendum post until the next day - they just get added into the list, just like everyone else. Granted, it takes a little longer for them, but it gets the job done.

I am awake by then. I'm just good at typos. It's hard to avoid that 4x post as there is not, and most likely won't ever be, an edit button.

I'm great at typos - I just proof read and change it before pressing "post". You should learn to too, since it's not like we've just removed the edit button.

Yes.

Germany has several rock/metal festivals which is a good thing.

Right again. There are quite a few. Right off the top of my head I can name:
Rock Hard Festival (duh)
Wacken Open Air
Rock am Ring
Rock im Park

well, not that much "metal" bands in the last two, but still...

Party.San
Wave Gotik Treffen

if you want to count Gothic as Metal, that is

M'Era Luna

another festival that is mostly frequented by Goths

Under the Black Sun

I'm not really sure what to think about that one. The name sounds really suspicios and it has a reputation of many NSBM bands playing there and thus many braindead people (=Nazis) in the crowd

I'm a bit embarrased to say that I haven't seen them (yet). I could've seen them live, but the problem was that they were broadcasted at 3:00 AM on a Sunday night while I had to wake up at 6:30 AM.

I can say what I think about the award givings though. I'm more positive about them than I was last year.

I'm happy that The Social Network did not get Best Picture, because while I thought it was a good film, it really did not deserve it. Personally I was rooting for Black Swan, but alas it lost to The Kings Speech. I'll go check that one out asap. I'm glad Natalie Portman won Best Actress because she gave a fantastic performance imo.

Alice in Wonderland winning two oscars sounded a bit silly to me, but I can't deny that it did not deserve the oscars in the two catagories it won in :p

Nah they were nothing to fear for. I believe some walkthrough explicitely warned me for them, but I think you could also get some kind of protection accesory from status effects just before you were going to battle him. Without his Bad Breath, he's a pushover.

Does his Bad Breath even do anything?

I assume it induces a shitload of bad status effects normally, but with the right accessories... nothing. Does he have any other special attacks?

And people keep complaining about how they are milking FF7 so much :p

Hahaha. At least FFVII hasn't got a remake yet.

No... just a silly film and prequel.

But the battles were now in 3D right? That looked pretty nice to me.

Nah, the PSP version is going back to 2D.

Yeah, but on the DS it's 3D which is pretty sweet imo. If they do it as well as they did in Golden Sun.

Wasn't there a point of no return somewhere and if you built your safe point there and saved you were fucked?

You CAN get back out. You just have to go all the way back to the start and enter the Highwind. The only point of no return is when you enter the very centre but by then the game will disable the save point.

Yeah I was thinking about that center point. I didn't know the game would disable the option to save there. I'll remember that for next time :)

For me it's just whatever to tide me over to lunch to keep the stomach from growling. At the moment I would settle for anything besides oatmeal. I'm sick of the stuff atm.

I never eat oatmeal, except as an ingredient in apple pie. Gives such pies a very good taste I have to say.

And yeah... my gf says you shouldn't eat too much of it, and that you should try out different recipies with oatmeal instead of eating it the same way all the time :p

Agreed. It's often too sweet for my liking. I prefer curry ketchup sauce on most things, it's basically a more spicy version of ketchup. Goes much better with burgers and stuff like that.

Curry ketchup, hmmm never heard of it. I'm assuming it's just curry powder mixed in, right?

Not exactly. I find it a bit hard to find the ingredients of the sauce. It contains a lot of spices; Curry powder may be one of them, but there are different kinds of the sauce. Apparently it's only available in Holland, Belgium and in Germany under the name 'Curry Gewürz'.

If I want to spice it up, I sometimes just add Old Bay to it. It's pretty good.

Looks like that tastes best on seafood.

I think light mayonnaise is different in America than it is here :p It's quite similar to normal mayonnaise in Holland. They just used less oil I think.

I guess have a keen sense of taste or in other words I'm picky. I'm the type to by whole milk instead of 2 percent even though it's better for you, heh.

Yeah, it's the unhealthy things that usually give the best taste :p

Also cheese sauce? Ugh, I would never eat that with my fries.

Well okay shredded cheese then. :P

Better, but I don't think I like the mix of cheese and potato.

Ah, parents. Our parents and family have been a great help financially as well. I think they've donated about 1000 euros by now.

So when are you going to get married?

Yeah I can agree with that line of thinking. Apart from the fact that we'll learn to appreciate more expensive furniture, it's also a bit risky to go and buy very expensive stuff. At the start you never know if it's gonna work out or not and if it isn't then you end up being flat out broke with furniture worth thousands of euros that you can hardly store anywhere.

Yeah, plus if you try to sell it, you'd only get about half of what you payed if you are lucky.

Exactly. It's gonna be very hard to sell it for a reasonable price and moving it somewhere might also be a big problem.

But you know, the thought of "things not working out" never crossed my mind when I moved in with my gf. ^^

I'm doing well in not thinking about it, but I'm just keeping it in the back of my head. Just in case.

And so do Björn and Benny! Our closet is called dombås. We decided that it's pronounced "dumbass" :p

Hm, when I searched for Björn I only came up with some ugly as fuck teddy bear, Benny resulted in Benno and Billy... maybe Benny is a cross between those two? ^^

I'm pretty sure something was called Björn a few years ago. I could be wrong about Benny. Billy is a bookshelve right? :p Maybe if Benno was a desk... it could be some desk/bookshelve combo.

Silly Swedish names. Even for Dutch people they're unpronouncable.

I was instantly thinking of "dumbass" as well, heh.
There's also some furniture which name looks a lot like "wichsen", which means "to jerk off" in german. ^^

When I googled it I got: "Ich glaube 'ne Badezimmermatte hatte mal den Namen 'WICHSEN'." as a first hit.

Lol :p

More than enough. In a week or two I'm sure you can see all that might be worth seeing around here.

Great, then I'd have another two weeks to visit Belgium. I only have been to the city of Brussels once, but I would like to see more of the country.

I've been to Brugge and Luik (or Bruges and Liege) and if I remember correctly they were pretty nice cities. Been in Brussel once, but I was only driving through it with the bus on my way to London. Didn't get a chance to see much of it.

Obviously I'd like to stay for a while to enjoy the scenery :p

"We have no time for the scenery, we have another 10 places to visit today!"

Oh boy :p

I better get one of those oversized, mobile houses Americans like to drive around with.

I guess. That sounds like a typical janitor job to me.

I'm a bit embarrased to say that I haven't seen them (yet). I could've seen them live, but the problem was that they were broadcasted at 3:00 AM on a Sunday night while I had to wake up at 6:30 AM.

I can say what I think about the award givings though. I'm more positive about them than I was last year.

I'm happy that The Social Network did not get Best Picture, because while I thought it was a good film, it really did not deserve it. Personally I was rooting for Black Swan, but alas it lost to The Kings Speech. I'll go check that one out asap. I'm glad Natalie Portman won Best Actress because she gave a fantastic performance imo.

Alice in Wonderland winning two oscars sounded a bit silly to me, but I can't deny that it did not deserve the oscars in the two catagories it won in :p

I've seen bits of King's Speech (dodgy copy, I'm afraid.) I will go and see this one at the cinema, since I think Geoffrey Rush is a fantastic actor.

Black Swan is something I'll have to wait for on DVD, but it might be well worth watching.

I'm sure that I can find a copy on "other" sources

Someone will probably reupload it at a later point but you gotta be quick if that's the case.

I think the only way that I would watch it is with some Rifftrax commentary to ease the pain.

If that's a better way for you to watch the film. As for me, I managed to get through the movie without the Rifftrax commentary.

Awesome! I hope it will be a big party.

Nah, he only got one guest to his party. :P Still a good episode, though and the games he reviewed were ideal for the 100th episode.

Germany has several rock/metal festivals which is a good thing.

Right again. There are quite a few. Right off the top of my head I can name:

What about Headbangers Open Air? Slough Feg are meant to be appearing at that venue.

well, not that much "metal" bands in the last two, but still...

I said metal/ROCK. ;)

See?

For you it's just the other way round, so meh. :P

And you take the unfair turns so I win by being fair.

I assume it induces a shitload of bad status effects normally, but with the right accessories... nothing. Does he have any other special attacks?

Oh that might explain something. I always had one Ribbon at that point.

Hahaha. At least FFVII hasn't got a remake yet.

No... just a silly film and prequel.

That I can agree with. Well, the film at least. I've yet to play Crisis Core and I'm not sure if I will.

Nah, the PSP version is going back to 2D.

Yeah, but on the DS it's 3D which is pretty sweet imo. If they do it as well as they did in Golden Sun.

Square don't want to take the 3D route on the PSP and that's final.

You CAN get back out. You just have to go all the way back to the start and enter the Highwind. The only point of no return is when you enter the very centre but by then the game will disable the save point.

Yeah I was thinking about that center point. I didn't know the game would disable the option to save there. I'll remember that for next time :)

Ah yes. Just make sure you don't take the step to face Sephiroth when you haven't saved for a while and it should all be good.

Became a Town Watch ! great the old sign there was rubbish.

And yeah... my gf says you shouldn't eat too much of it, and that you should try out different recipies with oatmeal instead of eating it the same way all the time :p

For some reason I have tons of the stuff so I'm slowly trying to get rid of it. I've been starting to make cookies with it, like oatmeal raisin or chocolate oatmeal cookies.

Looks like that tastes best on seafood.

Of course. It's primarily used for fish fillets and batter but it can be used in other applications like fries. It's nice and spicy.

Better, but I don't think I like the mix of cheese and potato.

Heh, I think it goes together well. I often put some on a baked potatoes.
