Well, you have 8.88 base VP when you're at level 48. Then there's 9.00 base VP at level 49.

But I need more than 1,000 experience now before I level up :(

So? No-one ever said the climb to the top would be fun, or easy, did they, soldier!

As a programmer, there are few better. James, for example.

I considered byteslinger since she's the one that wrote the stat pulling program for us. I'm sure she won't need to break a sweat for it to pick up EXP ranks according to the site.

Ah, I was thinking according to her *ahem* voting habits.

In fact, it's probably more down to the Review Mods than Asandir. No offence to the guy, but we actually do go through the list and check the crap that's on there.

Thanks

I'll do a list after I've tried to eat.

Some fucking week off this is turning into >:(

You still sick or what's up?

Eating is sure taking you long enough :p

Not quite what I menat - I got distracted by TV, since moving sets my delicate tract to "empty" I've had this since last Tuesday. I've lost half a stone at least and since I booked the week off work to relax, this isn't my idea of relaxing.

B/P Rank: Corporal

Dammit, this took me forever. How the hell am I supposed to endure the higher ones?

50 Audio Reviews. Not a big milestone but still a milestone.

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

With that vote, you now have 9,990 experience points. You need 0 more to get to Level 31. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 23 hours, 29 minutes, and 46 seconds.

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

Better get the press ready when that happens.

Maybe the average closeted gay person might be but the over the top flaunting kind isn't, so it appears. I really haven't taken much notice to tally.

Fair enough. It would be one for me to get, though.

Far from it.

So?

No second abroad trip for next year!

He shouldn't be as bad now, I assure you. Maybe toning down those hypothetical threads would be a good idea but there's worse threads over there.

Yeah, there are always worse things in general. ^^

Indeed. So he isn't that bad right now. At least he's not spewing out shitty pony images like the majority of aspies do over there.

No, Dratini is cute!

But not as cute as Bub and Bob!

Except the requirements aren't going up all the time.

I haven't been a big fan of Mortal Kombat either but you have to admit that Scorpion is badass.

I'm not sure. All of seen from him is that "GET OVER HERE" thing and that's looking a bit gimmick-y to me.

Put two gimmicks together and you have an awesome gimmick.

I think Cars is one that strongly aims towards kids and not considering the rest of the demographics.

Could be. But usually their films have something for everyone, so maybe that's why it never got decent ratings.

That's it! It's just the one flop from them. I'm surprised Monsters, Inc. gets away since I felt that one was more for children as well.

Yeah, I'm sure this one will be good. That reminds me, I've yet to watch Up.

Everybody seems to love that film, but personally I only thought the first twenty minutes or so were very good. The rest was 'meh' in my opinion.

I'll watch it myself and see what it's like.

I think there was enough sidequests found within that game. You could spend a good hundred hours in that game.

Yeah I guess there was Blitzball and monster hunting and the butterfly thing...

Well, the only good one there was monster hunting. Sure, it can be tedious but it gave you challenging monsters to defeat.

Of course. All the higher level icons should look deadly except for that pussy bow and arrow.

Well the level 52 sword doesn't look as badass as the level 42 either in my opinion :p

Level 51, you mean?

Uhh, only Poseidon. I should ask for some metal albums that cover Greek mythology well.

Hey, what do you know...

Manowar FTW!

I think I don't like it is because we were spoiled in Fallout 3 and Oblivion, we get told where to go, where on Morrowind, you're just wandering until something happens.

Many actually like Morrowind for the sense of adventure like that. I found it to be a problem since nothing about it was clear.

Also, I was hitting a rat, and then it got to a point when I thought I weren't hitting it, the rat wouldn't die.

Next up: Morroblivion!

I finally got my Deity whistle! I've been stuck on Gold for like a couple of years and never really bothered to try for Deity besides whistling a few bad reviews every now and then and now finally, FINALLY I got it.

It's probably wrong how excited I got when I noticed the whitle on my profile.

American McGee's Alice.

Lol. I'm looking at some gameplay footage right now. It looks... interesting :p

Yeah. But I think I never finished it. It wasn't a legit copy anyway. :/

Lol. It didn't help that I was more of a math kind of guy.

Some say, math is a language as well. :P

Not the language of love, that's for sure.

Well, if you ever happen to fall in love with a very nerdy girl... it's best to know the deepest secrets of mathematics. ^^

Well I guess a film was inevitable if it already had a TV series.

Not every TV series is turned into a movie.

But a lot of them are!

True. But most of them shouldn't be turned into movies.

We even have a Glee 3D musical experience or whatever coming up.

I've never even heard of Glee before.

I think Rock is even broader.

And even worse, the border between Rock and Metal isn't very well defined.

There is stuff like Linkin Park of which you can wonder in which category it belongs...

Linkin Park? It belongs in the "stuff that sucks" category. :P

True. And a very small backpack.

Except in Zelda. I still have no idea how Link stuffs away a bow, 30 arrows, a giant hammer, 30 bombs, four bottles and 10 sticks in that tunic of his =/

Maybe he just has a bottomless bag?

But he doesn't even carry a bag! Maybe a bottomless pocket inside his shirt.

Maybe he had a bottemless bag inside his bottomless pocket!

Top Gear isn't mostly about sports cars is it?

Top Gear only runs on stations I rarely watch, so I never watch that show. ^^

Wow. You must be the first guy I've met who never watches top gear.

I'm just not interested in cars. I don't even own a driver's licence!

Lol. It means sold here, but I can see the logic behind it meaning overcooked :p

I always thought "sold" was something like "verkooft". But maybe that's more danish than dutch.

Nope, that's not even a word as far as I'm aware.

I've just googled it. It's berlin(ian?) dialect, lol.

No way! He's defnitely A material! He just never had the chance!

Maybe he was when he was younger. But now he's just a fat guy with no talent. :(

Isn't he doing some police reality show nowadays?

I don't know.

Heh, well perhaps they also have the "don't drop the soap"-thing in female prisons... :p

I wonder how that should work.

Hmm... frankly I have no idea =/

But it would make for some great scenes in exploitation movies, I guess.

I never watched that show at all.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*

Hey! It's not my fault that they never even broadcast it here.

Wow, that's quite a surprise. Well, you should get the DVDs then. It's only 11 seasons... :P

*Start tossing expensive lighting equipment*

Wow, where's the special forces when you need them? Still busy with that riot, I guess?

*Side curtains catch on fire*

Oh shit! 0,0

Fuck! Let's get out of here!

Oh yeah the cold war is a pretty interesting topic.

Perhaps you're not so unlucky though. The 20th century is probably one of the more interesting era's in high school history lessons. I remember we had lots of lessons about the Renaissance too and it was SO BORING.

But going through the same years of german history over and over again is boring as well. And the years 33-45 shouldn't cause a "OH NO! NOT AGAIN!" reaction in my opinion.

Nah. I'm surprised you didn't get much about the first World War then. I mean... it was pretty much what caused Germany to be put in a poor financial situation and explains why Hitler became 'popular' and all.

Yeah, we discussed what lead to Hitler's takeover of power and of course WW I was part of that. But it was discussed for only a short time.

We got those too in high school about Dutch and English literature. I think it's too bad though that we only treated snippets of great literature pieces and never had to read a whole book of anything.

If you only read snippets then there's no chance you can understand the whole context. But the context would be pretty important to really understand the snippet, I guess.

Yeah. Usually we got some explanations and extra info along with it, but we only really read like one chapter of The Canterbury Tales and one chapter of Jane Eyre...

It's like reading only one page of "War and Peace"...

I honestly don't see how that is an abusive review, and I really don't think it deserves a ban. I wont bring up a discussion on it here, but I'd like for you to PM me with a reason as to how that was abusive and what I should've written, if that's not too much to ask (:

This is post numer 8888.

Well this looks nice.

I'll post replies tomorrow.

I will agree that many of them overreacted, especially when Canas had it much worse than everyone else.

Trying to be a normal RPG, it does do things different to other RPGs but with combat, they must have just thought, "FINSIHED". When it clearly wasn't. The miss % is 99, unless you level up.

I think there is a mod that fixes that but I'm not sure now. There might be a lot of depth to Morrowind but Oblivion is much more playable.

Congrats on getting to level 11
