It's not worth posting your level up here until at least level 10. Level ups happen way too quickly at your level.

3000 medal points. :P

I was getting tired by then. As for the tank, Tom said he'll let me know when he ships it out. I'm tempted to make a combined shipping and buy some stuff along with it.

Sweet - I demand video!

No, I take pictures. I think it deserves a thread in the General forum.

Alright, someone to remix that video of you bouncing around drunk.

We get run to the hills every now and again, but that's the radio that I hardly ever listen to.

Hmm. There's one good station on the cable here that's dedicated to classic rock music. That's about the only one I like to listen to from time to time.

Yeah, you have to listen to Absolute Classic Rock for that, but it's just not got enough Metal on it.

When I'm in the car it's mostly crap. There's one okay 80's and 90's station I can tune into, but hearing Phil Collins and Lenny Kravitz pass by every frickin time I listen to it does get tiresome.

The joy of my iPod and iTrip adaptor :P

I don't know, Metal and Hard Rock generally aren't very popular genres on the radio I think. You hear AC/DC and Metallica from time to time (Thunderstruck and Nothing Else Matters mostly), but that's about it.

And yet, Kerrang plays all of this Nu Metal bollocks.

Isn't that stuff like Linkin Park? I do hear them come by relatively often, but I don't know to what degree you can call that 'metal' =/

It's mostly hard rock - System of a Down isn't too bad, but I prefer some of the classic stuff - you know, the bands that sell billions of records and still don't get airtime.

I'll do my best to be sharp while reading. But first I got some other stuff to finish before I start reading Watchmen.

Fair enough, let me know when you've read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

It could take a while. I'm a really slow reader :p

It's a damned comic! How long can it take to read?!

When I start reading a book I tend to read only 10 pages or so before I put it away again. Therefore any ordinary book often takes me weeks to finish.

I'm making my way through a 666 page novel at the moment and I'm going through a few chapters every morning, so I make light work of it. It's easier to read than Shogun.

Really sucks when the first thing I have to do when I get home, with a hangover, is mow the lawn with one of the noisiest lawnmowers in the world. Gotta man up for this.

Demoman is most suited for swords.

Seeing Odyssics post, it IS free for all.

Now let's just hope we don't get thousands of lame dickwads in there ruining the game for everyone.

Yeah, there is that concern but there is something they've introduced called premium accounts. Hopefully we can get servers exclusive to those accounts.

Your experience gave you a voting power of 6.45 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 24% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 8 votes!

8 Total VP! That's a feat, right?

10k Medal Points. :D

It's Arrow Classic Rock here.

I think they have a Hard Rock / Metal program somewhere in the week, but throughout the rest of the week it's mostly Classic Rock and some Modern Rock too. Although you do hear songs like The Clansman and Run To The Hills come by every now and again which I can appreciate.

I'm just glad there's at least one channel that still plays 60's and 70's songs. Other channels just seem to ignore this music era entirely and often don't go any further back than the early 90's (Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the like).

When I'm in the car it's mostly crap. There's one okay 80's and 90's station I can tune into, but hearing Phil Collins and Lenny Kravitz pass by every frickin time I listen to it does get tiresome.

My moms car is from the 80's. Not sure if it even has a cassette player, so I'm pretty much forced to listen to the radio. My dads car has an MP3 player station somewhere, but I don't think I can connect my iPod. I should ask him if he can burn a CD for me someday with my music.

Linkin Park hard rock? With hard rock I'm more thinking about AC/DC and bands like that.

But yeah, it seems like radio stations are seriously underestimating the size of the fanbase of some metal bands.

It could take a while. I'm a really slow reader :p

It's a damned comic! How long can it take to read?!

Yeah, but right now I'm reading a normal book and that's taking me quite long. I'm now a little over halfway after two weeks or so. Book has 272 pages :p

I don't know how many pages a chapter is in your book. I've read books which had chapters of 2-3 pages, but I assume it's more in yours.

And in the morning you say? Like before you go to work? You must wake up pretty early then.

That's only fair to those who payed for the game.

I wouldn't be particulary interested in upgrading, but if the free play sucks then I can always just leave. I won't lose anything.

Level 17! Oh my!

I just hit 100,000 medal points.

Yeah - mine turns the iPod into a radio station.

Seriously, who makes a car in 2007 with a cassette deck as standard?! I however have a car made in 2007 with a cassette player as standard.

It's always been the case and I'm not sure it will change until the demise of the trailblazing bands. Most of them have high average ages now and they report the death of various Metal stars, but such is life.

10-15 pages per chapter. Short, but very well constructed chapters.

And in the morning you say? Like before you go to work? You must wake up pretty early then.

Well, I've not picked it up yet today, but I usually check the portal, the sport and then lie in bed for half an hour before getting up. I leave the house at around 8.25 and I'm in the office for 8.45

54,000 Saves!

12,345 Medal Points. I'm saying that's a milestone, seeing as how I'm gonna try and never gain any more medal points. Ever. Unless I feel I can easily get 123,456 Medal Points.

A couple of movies that came out this year looked decent.. I've only actually seen one or two 2011 movies though.

Oh well, fast food restaurants, it isn't that surprising at all. Specially since there are rumors that years ago, in Australia, McDonald's made burgers with Kangaros. Sounds very crazy, but considering all the ammount of secret chemicals and ingredients they already use now, it doesn't sound that crazy at all.

Actually that claim was a lawsuit that someone said that there was only 30 percent of beef in their meat sauce and they shouldn't be able to advertise it as meat but rather as a meat substitute. The lawsuit was dropped when Taco Bell proved that there was more beef than enough beef in it. Probably wouldn't have bother me if their were filler like oats in it as so long as it remained cheap. Not like they are putting cats in it, heh.

I see what you mean, last year for movies, I could name a handful of good movies. This year... I have no idea. Also, I was reading a list of movies that are coming out this year, and Saw 8 was there, isn't it the idea of the sub-title for Saw 7: The Final Chapter, for it to be the final fucking chapter. Guess they going to have to make a new Saw, Saw 8: Forget the last movie. ALSO, SAW IS SHIT, the worst series of movies ever.

I can agree on Saw, but unless you hate Owen Wilson, Midnight in Paris was a pretty good film.

It was only a year. If I didn't take my break, I may have had 15,000 icons by now. I think my break was needed back then, especially when I was in full-time work.
