I forgot to mention this sooner but last Friday was my last day at work. The school weren't able to fund my job any further and if they could I'm sure they would have done so. Now some of the office work will have to be taken care by teachers. It's gonna be hell for that school now that I'm gone.

On another note, the EXP update will be up later on.

Listening to:

Ghost - Opus Eponymous. I have to say, this is one of the finest metal albums I've ever listened to yet it's a throw back to 70s metal. It was only released last year and it definitely feels like an album that came out from the 70s.

Of course not. Hardly anyone else will be reaching that sometime soon.

Yeah and you can wonder how many people are willing to even go that far.

It's hard to say but I'm sure it'll come to the point where I'm out of the top 50. However, that will be a very long time.

Even Coop thinks he won't get 100k until the end of the year. It makes me wonder what the hell happened to the activity on the site.

He's already well over 90,000 right? I don't know about him, but I generate about 13,000 BP / year. I think he gets more and we're not halfway 2011 yet, so it does look doable to me from where he stands.

Did I say won't? I was meant to say Coop wasn't sure of getting there at the end but it should be manageable for him.

Heh, finding everyone above 400 flash reviews will be a task. It's even more difficult when some of them have been inactive for ages now or don't even deposit.

Yeah I know. It's a good thing I get some new names from you every now and again. Otherwise I'd have a hard time looking. Fortunately the reviewers list isn't as dynamic as the BP list.

I'm sure you won't have to find as many users but from my user searching ways I won't be able to pick up those who don't deposit. On the bright side, it seems most reviewers deposit anyway.

Heh, I hate them too. I'm already expecting to fall down a few ranks at any time. Falling down in B/P is good with me, though.

Fortunately there aren't that many old timers who pick up BPing again. And as I keep climbing on the Exp list, so will I keep on climbing on the VP list :)

And let them stay inactive. :P

Hmm, don't have time to play with myself.

Nobody steals our chicks... and lives!

Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride.

He's an idiot, he won't ever think that. I just wish he could go the fuck away forever.

Oh well. If he keeps behaving like this, eventually someone will get REALLY fed-up with him.

If someone isn't really fed up with him already. I'm surprised he's still around. Then again, I know some users got far too many chances for what they did on the site. At times the Fulps are too nice but I don't blame them.

I don't know why, but I feel the urge to vomit...

Kinda has the 'so bad, it's good' thing going for it :p

Halt mich

Oh, I don't know this one.

This one apparently.

So that is a top 822 of all time or is more narrowed down to German music? Also, what would be the top 5?

The songs are voted by the listeners, so the "Top 800something" looks different every time. Of course the top songs are nearly always some songs that are a big hit in that year.
The list is printed in a local newspaper beforehand, so you have an overview. But the top 20 are always kept secret.
Seems this year some guy named "Crhis Brown" won with a song called "Yeah 3x". WTF? I have NEVER heard of that before. >_>

Oh boy, that's just lame. The top 2000 is also voted on by listeners, but at least most people have the decency to actually pick good, classic songs and not whatever was popular in the past year. Although occasionally some Lady Gaga song makes it or Rihanna or whoever, but they never really get much further than the top 200 and usually drop out the year after.

Though Coldplays Viva la Vida came in 7th last time, but that was quite exceptional.

They better do. There's only one person of whom I hope he will obtain a higher BP rank and that's Nemesism. He's out of reach for me anyway.

It's not like I want to live in the middle of nowhere but I don't want to be in constant congestion and noise. I'm sure Paris is like any large city with it's share of crime, pollution, and high cost of living.

Well I guess it helps a lot that we're in a good position with respect to Europe. We're pretty central and have a huge harbor (Rotterdam), which is good for trading.

I think our most famous exports must be cheese (Gouda) and beer (Heineken). Also, we have a massive natural gas bubble underneath one of our provinces. For the rest we apparently export a lot of machinery, equipment, chemicals and vegetables.

Gouda is good cheese. I have a hunk of it every now and then. I'll skip out of the Heineken.

Yeah. A lot of food is grown in green houses, but even that doesn't always seem to help.

Temperature is one issue in growing food out of season but the amount of sunlight is the larger factor. Most produce require lots of light.

Hell, I think finding a decent Moe centered episode is even more of a task but I actually know one from a later season. I don't know how they managed to make a decent episode from modern Moe when he's one of the worst characters right now.

The band I had in mind is among those you mentioned, but maybe I'll change that if I find something better.

If it's Falkenbach, please use them.... or rather him. Any others, it would be a good idea to find something else but please tell me who the original one was.

I may change over to some Death Metal band... but Death Metal bores me too quickly, so I don't want to use too many DM bands, lol.

Well, that one is decent but yeah, it does show the band was deteriorating. I'm sure the last three albums are far worse.

Victory IS among the last three albums. ;)

Oh yeah, so it was. Derp. Still, the last two have got to be worse.

Well, "Rogues en Vogue" at least has a real drummer, but the sound quality is so shitty, that it really doesn't matter. The sound is so... strange. As if Rock 'n' Rolf recorded this album in a garage, or something.

Ehhhhhhhh, about that.

Oh, shit.
But I'm sure you can find another job quickly.

I don't know about quickly. Britain has such a shit economy right now. It amazes me that America is in an even worse state. I just wonder how a big country like them can fuck up so easily.

I guess it depends on what kind of job you are looking for. I guess I have it relatively easy to find a new job if I should lose my current one, since I can apply as a "working student". For those a company hasn't to pay too much for health care and stuff, hence they are well liked in any company. ^^

Hahahahahahahhahahahahahahah! *dies*

Hm, so this is a good way to kill off a dragon.

If is the nowpiece git and Slotermeyer? Yes! Beiherdog the Oder the pinball machine forestt gersput!

Back to life now.

WOHA!

Lisa is such a whiny bitch. She's the one character I hope they kill off but I know that will never happen seeing she's one of the main characters. Hey, that would end the show once and for all. :P

There are some nice "Lisa centered" episodes, but yeah. In general she's annoying.

Hell, I think finding a decent Moe centered episode is even more of a task but I actually know one from a later season. I don't know how they managed to make a decent episode from modern Moe when he's one of the worst characters right now.

I liked the "Moe as a poet" one.

Not if you're going to enter the golden levels in two levels time. Dark and Fab are terrible combinations for golden levels. I advise you stick to light, neutral and evil only.... And maybe become a mod.

Gold and Black fits very well.

Gold levels on GREY aura? No thanks!

Much better than Gold on Gold auras.

This icon is dumb. Hope I don't get stuck at 59 too long.

Only 130 days to go, if you don't miss a deposit. In the meantime, you could try to speed up your B/P pace a little. Yoink has been top of the Voting Power list for long enough now. ;)

It's not like I want to live in the middle of nowhere but I don't want to be in constant congestion and noise. I'm sure Paris is like any large city with it's share of crime, pollution, and high cost of living.

I would be okay with living in a slightly remote and quiet place later, but it is handy to at least have some town nearby with a supermarket and such.

I was thinking about a small house near a forest.

Well I guess it helps a lot that we're in a good position with respect to Europe. We're pretty central and have a huge harbor (Rotterdam), which is good for trading.

I think our most famous exports must be cheese (Gouda) and beer (Heineken). Also, we have a massive natural gas bubble underneath one of our provinces. For the rest we apparently export a lot of machinery, equipment, chemicals and vegetables.

Gouda is good cheese. I have a hunk of it every now and then. I'll skip out of the Heineken.

Yeah Heineken is actually not that great. Most of my friends don't really like it, but somehow it got world famous =/

Yeah. A lot of food is grown in green houses, but even that doesn't always seem to help.

Temperature is one issue in growing food out of season but the amount of sunlight is the larger factor. Most produce require lots of light.

Yeah or not so much. Most apples are disgusting these days =/

Finding a new job, that's all I can do.

Oh sure that time will come. Heck, there will probably be a time when both us will be long forgotten ex-regulars of this site. If NG lives long enough that is.

I'd give it 10 years. It may sound like a long time but with the portal activity declining, it's not a crazy estimate.

Could be that NG slowly shifts its focus. I got a feeling that the Flash Portal is already becoming a less and less important part of the site. Hopefully this shift won't lead to less activity on the site all round.

Ten years sounds like a reasonable estimate to me. About every website will die out eventually and I do have the feeling NG is a bit past its peak already (peak being around 2006). But I hope the redesign will turn things around.

They better do. There's only one person of whom I hope he will obtain a higher BP rank and that's Nemesism. He's out of reach for me anyway.

Yeah, he may be Commander but there's no passing him at all. It'll be fun to see if he can pull off Supreme Commander just before he reaches level 60 or will it YoinK who will be our first Level 60 Supreme Commander.

Yeah that's an interesting battle I've been watching for some time now. I'm glad Nemesism finally decided to take steps towards Sup Commander at some point. I remember he was at ±26,000 BP for years.

I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck.

Guess again, freakshow. I'm coming back to town, and the last thing that's gonna go through your mind before you die... is my size- 13 boot!

I should have known those alien maggots booby-trapped the sub.

Well I can understand how they prefer to keep long term NG fans on the site, but guys like Ultor are really pushing it.

It makes you wonder how many chances he even has. Then again, I've seen the odd user or two posting CP yet their accounts are still alive. Maybe they were hacked but who knows?

I've also seen people getting their accounts deleted for less... hmmm...

Indeed. And it is kinda catchy.

I think plenty of Dutch folks are into schlagers like that.

j/k, the dutch are a pretty fine folk. ;)

Matthias Reim is bankrupt, serves him right!

Oh really? Lol! Guess he's now one of those celebrities everybody pokes fun of.

This one apparently.

Ah, Herbie. Yes, I know the song, I just never heard the title.

It's pretty high up there too. Somewhere top 200.

This one is much better though. ^^

Ouch - sorry to hear that man. Crucially, you've got experience now, which could be the edge in getting more work.

Yet there's now much less jobs.

I'm still painfully aware of that - the main thing is that now there are less jobs, having experience now puts you in a better position to get another job, doesn't it?

Yeah, I think that most of Fellowship could be left out and you'd still have a decent film :P The worst thing was that they never had the scourging of the Shire, where Saruman tries to take over the land of the hobbits, enslaving them all. Fortunately, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin return to save the day.

I am level 13 now, and have 10000 total stats( whatever that means).

But how is the music itself? Both albums don't even have many reviews on Metal-Archives. The Brotherhood has two while Rogues en Vogue only has one.

I guess it depends on what kind of job you are looking for.

I'm pretty sure any job is hard to get right now.
