Shit looking level 22, yay!....yay....great. Well 21 also sucked but this one more so. Be about 4-5 levels before an actual good looking one comes hazzah...

Never knew you are into smoking joints.

Heh, neither was I. Want to see more?

Touche. That saves us a lot of time.

Rob Halford is gay. :P

Yeah but we don't insult Halford like that.

Speaking of Halford. Judas Priest announced a new album for 2012...

They've talked about their new album for a while now. I'm hoping next year will be the year we see a new Judas Priest album.

I had a bunch of games downloaded for a few files after force refreshing Steam. It seems it can only do so many games at a time.

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.

Premium access? So... you mean you just them straight away instead of via random drops? I don't know, not sure if that's worth it. Looks like the store is mostly filled with silly accessories anyway.

Yeah, the accessories are only a little addon that shouldn't be an important thing. Still, I could get you a bunch of weapons to play around with, unless I can't gift items to free players.

I hate to say it but this is part of the problem. If we all vote 5 just because the submission used a song we liked, they'll all pass. Just vote 0 on the damn thing, even if they throw in Final Fantasy music. You can hear the great works of Nobuo Uematsu some other time.

Just noticed that my combined Blams and Saves make a higher number then my rank .

Damn straight. Why would you ever want to turn the stereo down when Fortunate Son is playing?

Heh, that's pretty awesome. Always nice if a band is cool like that and don't think too highly of themselves.

They had yet to make it. Now they still haven't, but they sell a few albums.

Yeah I guess they're one of those bands plenty of people know, yet they just can't seem to get a major breakthrough.

Don't they examine you for that? Here they always examine you and check your bag. Only way to get something in is hiding it in your socks. Or your underwear.

No space in either :P

Well people seem to be crazy about hats and such, but I honestly don't see the big deal about them.

And hmm, I don't know if you can get everything via random drop or crafting. I'm still waiting until I finally get some good stuff for the Spy. I only got the Kunai Dagger which is utter shit and that pistol which gives crits for headshots but -20% damage or so (not so useful either).

I'd like me that watch which has 100% cloak regen rate and that knife which instantly gives you the disguise of the one you backstab. Probably the most overpowered items in the game XD

Not really - you go out there for the 10 wickets or outs that you have and bat for an allotted time (usually 40 or 50 overs of 6 balls each) and score as many runs as you can, before you're all out, or the overs are used. Then you sawp sides and the batting team tries to chase down the total set by the first team.

Last weekend, the opposition managed 311 runs, which is massive - we beat them, with 6 balls to spare.

To be quite honest, that was the 1/1000 times that I sporadically 5 a spam flash. I'm usually very fair in the way that I vote but every once in a while I'll see a spam flash that's so dumb that I have no other choice but attempt to protect it so I can watch it at a later time :P

Well, if you downloaded many games at once, your overall download speed would be split up into roughly even parts. I suppose this helps so some games can finish downloading sooner, even though for a place with very shitty servers, that's not saying much.

Yeah I guess they're one of those bands plenty of people know, yet they just can't seem to get a major breakthrough.

Less well known acts are great from time to time, but I'll still be a fan of Maiden and Alice :P

Yeah. But on the other hand, there is often a reason why they haven't had a breakthrough. They might have a good song or two and have a decent sound generally, but sometimes that's really it.

I've not heard any of their material for a while, I'll have to ask my cousin, see what he knows.

This will confuse you - the cheat sheet

Yeah, that didn't help at all. Had to laugh when it sad cricket is a simple sport and then list 34 different positions.

I've fielded at most of those over my career. Wicketkeeper and third slip are the two that I probably haven't yet. Oh and Silly point - we never use that one. To keep it simple, I'll probably be mid on / mid off today, with a bit of bowling thrown in there for good measure.

More on the countdown, I did expect reverend to come along and say something about Jeter along the way to spoil it, though he probably knew anyway. Needing two hits, Jeter entered yesterday's game with Tampa and hit a single first up, but then the bomb - only his third of the year to tie the game, which we won, fittingly.

Now to go and ramble about Jeter and his place in history in the baseball thread...

Had my birthday party last night and now I have a hangover. Had to have a few pints at home because I wasn't drunk enough but then I got too drunk and fell asleep on the sofa when I was still using the laptop. Whoops.

Yep, that was the day.

Well, if you downloaded many games at once, your overall download speed would be split up into roughly even parts. I suppose this helps so some games can finish downloading sooner, even though for a place with very shitty servers, that's not saying much.

Hmm yeah if that means you have to have six games going with 10kb/sec...

Or whatever speed Steam can get it to. They can be dial-up slow at times.

Hmm, I didn't imagine free players were able to get additional items. Maybe it's just the hats you're not open to.

I happened to get the Clock and Dagger watch yesterday. Not as good as I thought it was, but still a great item. Now only to get that dagger with instant disguise upon backstabs and I'm happy with my spy :)

Dead Ringer is better.

I have downgraded MSN, also, thanks but I don't think I will use it. I like my current set-up.

Eventually MSN will force you to use the newer version.
