This is my 500th post. No biggie, with the people here with over 1k, but we all started like this, right? I'm proud of my achievement.

Coop wonders when he will finally finish the painting marathon. Congratulations to:

Nope, we agreed that it's every 5,000 medal points, since people can get them relatively easily.

Nah, I don't believe that they have a member who is weak. Dave Murray is the quiet one - sometimes he'll say one line in a conversation or debate and all of a sudden, he's made them all think. His part is quiet, but then you need one of those in a band.

Can you tell me Janick Gers' purpose at live shows besides the stunts or fighting a giant Eddie robot? :P

Let me watch the show on the 31st and ask me again.

You know, Metallica is one band I have no desire to see. It's not worth the money and trouble to see them live when there are tribute bands that sound better than them these days.

That's because Lars isn't a good drummer, nowhere near Nicko, Portnoy or any of the other greats and because James Hetfield's voice is shot to hell.

Hell, at least Portnoy can still play his drums. Now he's just a whiny and egotistical bitch. As long as the new drummer stays in DT and does well, people will give less and less of a shit about Portnoy.

Musicians come and musicians go - the greats will be remembered.

Nah, things have become too PC; look at the Bullets, they are called the Wizards nowadays. I actually remember going to a Bullets game as a kid but I guess times change.

I'm sure that some people in the Bible belt would object to us knowing Man. Utd as the "Red Devils"

But we all know the most awesome reference in a Dallas name would be the Dallas Ewings.

I don't think anybody of this generation would get that reference. They probably don't know who shot J.R.

To be fair, I wasn't even born when it was revealed that Kristin Shepard shot JR.

That's what I hear most people say. I'm not sure why most people like them more on the PC though.

WASD controls FTW.

While they're adjustable, I often find that the controls feel a bit clumsy with way too many buttons. I'd rather have Z for shooting, A for switching weapons and B for reloading for example.

That feels like playing a console. :P

I'll keep praying for the demise of YouTube. Maybe a better alternative will come along and we'll all forget YouTube.

The better alternative is Newgrounds XD

I was thinking Blip but that site doesn't make the videos accessible enough.

Zerok is a dependable one since when he's around he posts a lot but that's only from time to time.

Since he's a moderator I suppose he will stick around. He's not too far away from you, but it'll be tough to catch up with him.

It'll be a fun challenge. I'll have my pace while he has his.

You'll fly past Maus and Ozcar as well eventually if you just keep at it. You could be ranked 7th or so eventually.

You'll need to give me until 2014... which is manageable if I at least want to reach level 60 someday.

No, I go to live shows without any earplugs.

Speaking of, I've pre-ordered the new album for £8 on Play.com. I've been very doubtful with Play.com's pre-order shippings but if Roadrunner are promoting it, surely the CD has to arrive before the release date. The email promotion even told me so.

Not really. There is a local high school here whose mascot are the Demons. And of course there are the NJ Devils. I don't see too many people up in arms about that. I think gun imaginary just sees to have stuck a nerve especially during the early 90s for the Bullets.

But, the Bible Belt hates the idea of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. They had to chance the name to Sorcerer's stone, because a lot of Americans don't get philosophy, but on top of that, they hate the idea of witchcraft, despite the fact it's only a story.

The name change wasn't due to the Bible Belt, but rather the American publishers felt that American children would be scared off with something dealing with Philosophy for some odd reason (according to Wikipedia, which is always right). Granted some (most) churches are idiots (blind) and blame everything but themselves but some are more flexible in their dogma. Of course there will always be a Westboro type church out there who are radical in their beliefs.

Oh, that was part of the dream season? I never really followed Dallas, I just knew some of the weird things, like those.

That's probably the only reason I know that because they wanted their main character back and so they just wrote it off as just a dream. Probably one of the first series to do such an act.

Have you ever played "Drink-along-a-Dallas"? I played it once, where every time they have a drink, you have a drink. The episode I watched was the Oil Barron's ball and I ended up in casualty.

No but I played the Home Run Derby Drinking game once. Every time they hit a HR you take a shot. Trust me nobody lasted too long.

That, or the police would've taken him out. He's going to be able to speak in court today or tomorrow, and it'll be aired live on TV. A lot of people don't want him to be allowed to speak on national and international TV, because he said he was going to spread propaganda. I want to hear exactly what went on in his head as he did what he did.
