I don't know what they are, but maybe you just feel like you want to decide things for yourself and do things your own way around the house. That's how I felt at least.

Yeah, that's where I need to be in my life. I really shouldn't have myself living here for too long.

Or maybe it's more to do with the fact that Valve don't know what they're fucking doing with the game anymore. The latest set of hats are bland and forgettable while they started to give Scout a sword, completely out of place to his character.

Oh so it's the updates that kinda turned you off? Well the hats are more of an accesory right? I wouldn't care too much about those. Giving weird weapons to characters is another thing though.

It just shows Valve mostly care about the gimmicks in the game. There are still many glitches for them to fix and all they give a damn about are fucking hats.... Well, at least Meet the Medic is coming.

Depends on the movie but if I was doing 200 icons in a single day, don't you think I'd get sick of it?

I just think it's suitable for any debut album.

And I still think it's uncreative.

They can be creative on their second album. Is that good for you?

Heh, is that the unplugged album? I happen to have that as well but I've yet to listen to it.

No, the album called "Live", released in 2000.

Oh, that one I don't have. I still need to get Facelift and Tripod.

Excellent work!

Going to take quite a while to reach my previous highest rank (146)

It sure will, I'm #141 right now and from the looks of things I may not even get a rank up on the next EXP update. Consider that and how many active users are between the both of us (hell, there's enough highly active users between myself and Auz), it will be a very long time until you recover your rank. :(

And quite a great deal longer to finally make it into the top 100.
Oh well, all in due time.

Heh, now that will be even tougher. Coop should reach the top 100 by the end of the year whereas myself could take an additional two years just to get there. Oh well, better hope more users drop out from depositing.

Not good enough!
I have nothing against self titled albums in general. But I think there are way too many bands out there that take the easy way out and self title their debut album.
Weezer take the cake in that department. They self titled their first and their third album, without even adding numbers to it. You can only see it's a different album because the first one has a blue and the third one has a green cover.

Heh, is that the unplugged album? I happen to have that as well but I've yet to listen to it.

Also did anyone else notice yesterday that a lot of audio reviewers suddenly had a drop in audio reviews? wyldfyre1 dropped from 3,051 to almost under 3,000. Most others just seem to have lost 5-10. Guess it might have have been someone we all did a review for at one point.

It's probably irrelevant, because it happened a while ago, but Xarnor recently had his account deleted and he was among the top audio submitters. He had 221 audio submissions.

It just seems weird that you don't hear much of him, he doesn't have that many famous songs, yet he has loads of fans.

On an unrelated sidenote: Watchmen finally arrived today. I looked through the book to find the "comic within the comic" thing you're talking about, but it was hard to find. Eventually I saw a page where a guy was reading a comic from a newspaper, but it was only one page long. However, several pages further was the Tales of the Black Freighter story (or parts of it) and it might be linked to that comic from the newspaper (or maybe it is what was in that newspaper).

I don't know, I guess I better go read the book to find out what it's all about.

That's new for me as well. Never heard anyone saying he got over his hangover by eating something spicy.

It is? Well, you don't hear it often on the radio or anything, but in Hollands yearly top 2000 best songs of all time it makes the top 100 every year. In 2001 it even reached the 19th place. It's the highest ranked Alice Cooper song followed by 'How you gonna see me now' (somewhere between 100-300 usually).

Maybe it got more popular here than it did in the UK. The other song you mentioned I have actually never heard of before and I don't think it ever made a hitlist here.
