Top 3,000 EXP FINALLY

It took me this long to catch up to where I was back in 2004-2005. So from here on out, it's uncharted territory for me ;) Progress at last!!!

1,000 blams.

Finally. :)

300 Art Reviews

I still think even with all that you need some fat and some meatiness flavor to it.

I could do perfectly well without XD

The only time I might eat a big juicy steak is when we're at a restaurant, but we don't go there often. And she's alright with me eating meat. The last thing she wants is be an annoyance to other people with her diet so she'll let me have my steak if I want it.

Do you think that's true with other vegans out there or is she the exception to the rule?

Plenty of vegetarians and vegans are kinda like that I think, but of course there are some bigots here and there. The kind who'll start nagging you when you're eating meat at a restaurant or wherever. Just know that the other half of the vegan community think they're idiots too (that includes PETA).

No I need Luis to come down. He's Mexican so he should be an expert on setting up a burrito business.

I thought he was more South American than Mexican.

I always thought he was Mexican =/

Pretty neat, but still not in the Top 100.

Congrats! Neat indeed. Prepare to stay around the 13.xx numbers for some time.

As for me, best avoiding this altogether. I had troubles last night getting any Steam games to start downloading and quite frankly, as a customer who has bought over 250 games, I deserve higher priority to download my shit unlike F2P'ers.

Well try downloading in the morning then. I had much higher download rates when I was downloading at around 11:00 or so than I had late afternoon.

On a side note, I think I miraculously managed to fix the game. So I can actually play it now :)

Certainly worth it, even if it were an additional extra, becuase you're driving away somewhere on holiday.

Well my parents both have a job so I can never really go borrow the car for long holidays. And I can always grab a CD or two from my dads collections if I know I'm in for a long ride. I'll check for one later though, when I get my own car.

Oh yes, I like The Chain. The other one I had never actually heard before. Sounds quite nice and ... optimistic.

Plenty of good driving songs out there. I'd recommend that you don't play "Drunken Lullabies" by Flogging Molly for driving, it will make you lose all rational thought and drive really fast.

Suiting title XD

Probably one of those concerts where tickets are already sold out after 30 minutes and you just CAN NOT get to the buy tickets page due to the servers overloading I'm guessing. Just like we had with AC/DC last time and some other bands we liked to see.

No, but we could only get seated - thank god, I couldn't bear to stand at one of those gigs, I'd die, or be robbed, or both!

Or get trashed in a pit?

I prefer sitting places as well when I go to a concert. I just want to sit down every now and again and stretch my legs a bit.

Girls just showered together at my club and they weren't so well protected. There were a lot of big windows in front of our dressing room doors so if the door flew open everyone could see you naked if you were too late. Also, there was a walking passage (outside the sports ground) right behind the dressing rooms and any creep could just get there with a camera and take pictures if the windows were slightly open.

Really? Let's hear it for 1990s Paedos then :P

Yeah. Also, it wouldn't be the first time someone swung open the door cause he thought that was his dressing room when it wasn't.

level 41!

While I have time I might as well make one of these before I forget how xD

Congrats to:
Tycrane: 1k Blams
Coop: 300 Art Reviews
Powerage: Level 41

Hehe, don't write me off yet, guys. I may be silent but I'm still slowly moving forward :)

9.00 Base Voting Power

Now with this behind me, I've got to push for bigger and better things.

Quick question: With the Total Stats statistic, when is it considered a milestone? Every 1,000? Every 5,000?

Cheers

I doubt my seat will be used all that much at Maiden - the backpack will get lighter through the evening, as I'll have a few bottles of water in there for the masses.

Every 5,000 is suitable - with the pace that some people progress through those stats, it could be every other week. Mind you, with a quieter portal, we see less progress to these milestones, but that's an acceptable loss.

Thanks for voting, Sispri! Your experience has been automatically deposited!

With that vote, you now have 13,600 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 36. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 19 hours, 46 minutes, and 12 seconds.

The more experience points you have, combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

That is awesome. I should play some TF2 with you but I'm not sure how much the other games will consume my time. Those Summer sale achievements have got me.

That's one good thing to look forward to when I reach that horrendous level. By the way, I'm using a script as soon as I reach level 49.

Yeah. Last time we had some Creedence Clearwater Revival compulation CDs and some Tour of Duty album, but it wasn't really enough for the 3-4 hour long drive. I should remember to bring more next time.

Yeah, but you'll get heavier yourself... until you go to the toilet...

and they'll let you take water bottles to a concert? They're always pretty strict on that here. If you got anything to drink with you, you'll have to throw in a trash bin. Say it's for 'safety', but obviously it's just so people will buy more drinks.

So would you about half are the type that will be offended by eating meat. I'm asking because I wonder if it would be too much to date someone who is vegan/vegetarians.

I always thought he was Mexican =/

I thought he was Peruvian and Bolivian.

Not that I know of. They played a gig in front of my cousin and some friends in Nottingham and there were about 25 people. The band learned their names by the end of the night.

It'll be like in the cricket season - we drink like fish, but never seem to pee - the heat of the summer helps the water to just evaporate.

Baseball is based on failure. Cricket is as well, but if you do well, you do well for hours. This winter, Alistair Cook scored almost 1,000 runs against Australia in the Ashes series - the premier cricketing event. 1,000 runs could take a baseball player 10 years to accumulate.

I reach a pretty big goal (in my opinion) that I've been working on for pretty much a year.

Heh, one game I tried downloading last night said 2.3kb/s but it wasn't even going anywhere. To be fair, I was trying to download six different games at once so it was to be expected that I overloaded the downloading here.

I haven't really looked into any other things on Steam. I keep getting messages that I should check out the store in TF2, but they don't give items there for free, do they?

I can give you a game for free. :) As for TF2 items, paying is optional but if you get something, you'll get premium access.

Keep skipping this list every other day. Anyway, I'm crashing at a friends house this week to get away from the family. I'll be casting an SC2 tournament in the evening (think it's 8.30 PM GMT+1) for the EU servers. My first actual tournament stream, kind of nervous about it. Would suck if things didn't work out as planned.
