57,000 medal points

Level 28. In my opinion it deserves to be lower on the list but whatever. I didn't design it.

Reached level 32. It's great apart from the fact that I don't like the level icon and don't really like any of the next ones up to at least level 36. Obviously from there onwards it's total awesomeness but I will be stuck with shitty icons until Christmas =(

I can only do one cup else I'll get sick. If I have to get some more caffeine then it's on to energy drinks or pop.

Tea in a steady flow will keep me going all day. I do stop for the occasional soft drink, including cola, sprite and the like, but other drinks like fruit juice and alcohol punctuate the day as well.

Ooooh I see. You still have the Shadow Temple to do or do you always keep the Spirit Temple for last? I always go Spirit Temple then Shadow Temple, but my gf is doing it the other way around. Not that it makes much of a difference, but I believe the hover boots are handy at some parts of the Spirit Temple.

Wait, you can do the Spirit Temple before the Shadow Temple? I always thought the game was done in a particular order to go through the temples and not go in any way you like. However, if the remake did that, that would be pretty cool.

And that's where you decide if everything ended off nicely for something and if so, no need to make a sequel.

I think overall the ending was good enough already. The planet is saved, Sephiroth is dead, everybody is happy... there's no need for more story.

Except they showed Aeris' face right at the end...

I believe Jenova Death was a rather tricky one and the first form can't be walked over easily.

Couldn't you kill Jenova Death with a phoenix down? :p

Nah, I think that was only possible with the boss in Cosmo Canyon.

To be honest even though I leveled up was seriously dereading this one. Now (If I don't miss a deposit between now and the next level) I have to wait hold onto this icon for 81 days. But the one good thing about leveling up is that I am getting closer to the 40's group and that group of Icons are a lot nicer then the 30's.

I'm only 2 weeks away from a dirty monkey wrench. That should help keep things in perspective for you. Right now I'm hunting level 26, because switchblades are like caps lock: CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.

Also, though not really a site milestone, my Twitter feed recently passed 1 full year of posting a new amusing Haiku every night (minus a hiccup around the time of my server change when I had to catch some up afterwards). I'm very proud of that.

I never had the displeasure of having that level Icon. When the redesign hit I was pumped up to level 27 from the old level 14 (Back then if you were even in at level 11 you were high up due to the shifting EXP bar.) But then again I never really wanted any of the levels lower then 27 other then the level 16 chain (since I wanted to level up to level 15 by the old levels and 15 was the same as 16) But now the levels I desire now are levels 49 and 58 (I am a big marvin the marshin and I think the bow and arrow icon look cool.) So I will keep depositing and eventually I will get to these icons (if death doesn't part me first.)

Great. So... any good stripper clubs in Hamburg where we can meet? Or are we supposed to keep it a secret where we're going?

We don't have many CDs so that won't be necessary I think. We just need some space for all her books. Being an English student, she has a shitton of stuff to read =/

Then Billy is your friend. There are Billy shelves in various sizes, we have one very large shelf and one that's about 1m high and about 1,20m wide.

Yeah I think you can also buy several differents ones and just combine them into one huge bookshelf. That's what we're probably gonna do. Also, I think I'll fix a few planks to the walls in the living room so that I can store my DVDs there. They look much better in a living room.

Also I just noticed that the german wikipedia article for Billy is much longer than the swedish one. ^^

Lol. I like how they added a history section. I'm sure that's really useful to a lot of people :p

Sounds to me like Swedish and German are very much alike. And also, they put a lot of thought in naming their stuff. Wtf? on PUPSE, BLUTEN and ERSCHRAEK =/

Oh, there has been a slight misunderstanding. The names above are not real names, but have been made up by the poster. That's why they are all so german like. ;)
No one would name his wingback chair "rente" or the mirror "erschraek". ;)

Oh yeah true. I forgot. Well they could've paid a little bit of attention to what the names of their products sound like/mean in closely related languages. This is a bit silly :p

So what does EKTORP mean then? My gf read on some forum that it means 'anus' in Swedish. We don't really believe it though, sounds too stupid as a name for a couch.

Google translator suggest that "Ek torp" means "oak cottage". Hmm..
Also, wtf? I chose "translate from 'Swedish' to 'German'" and suggests "oak cottage" as a german translation? Yes, he really did suggest "oak cottage", not "Eichenhütte" as it would be correct.
I then tried to translate "oak cottage" from english to german, but he again simply came up with "oak cottage". Lol.

Conclusion: Translators suck and will seldom translate anything correctly.

Oak cottage? Sounds like an okay name for a couch. I heard it's actually named after some village in Sweden.

Damn those long waiting times.

One hour isn't really that long on an airport.

I don't know. I've been to two airports, but have never flown in a commercial airplane, let alone having to switch aircrafts halfway in my journey. But yeah, one hour doesn't sound bad compared to all the stories I sometimes hear and read about people having to wait at least four hours or more.

And she has to approve of any new laws that are being made. If she doesn't sign them, she will be dethroned :p

Lol, that's quite similar to the british queen, I think. ^^

I have no idea.

I know some people know everything about the royal family and constantly keep themselves up to date with what they do (royalty experts), but quite frankly I do not give a single crap about them.

Just flatten a few trees by driving over them :p

And we need lots of trees for all the bowling centers around:

That goes for about any fast food restaurant. Can't say I'm impressed by what they sell at Burger King either :p

They are a lot better than McD's. I'd pick BK over McDonalds when I have to chose where to eat for the reason at least it looks like a burger instead of some processed meat product in the shape of a burger.

I think the right sauce and some unions and pickles will add plenty of flavor to do the trick.

Yeah hold the onions; I don't care much for them especially if they are uncooked. Nope just lettuce, tomatoes, cheese, burger, and condiments is fine for me. If I'm in the mood add a couple slices of bacon.
