Sorry but you are wrong on that matter. You forgot about level 47 which is guess what? Another fist level. However on the bright side you won't be seeing that level for a couple of years if you deposit consistantly.

Level 54

We really don't care about posts per day "achievements" - otherwise it just encourages spam. Post totals ones do that as well, but not by so much.

For serious? If someone posts (just once, I mean... in their entire time on NG BBS) that they just hit 6.666 ppd... or in Bahamut's case, 7.777, I guess..... still a no go? (gasp)

So, I had no idea he had Tommy John. No idea he wore #37, as well.

I feel his quality (or newfound lack thereof) and his jersey number have little to do with each other. But I commend him for choosing baseball over the many inferior sports he could have chosen to turn into a career. :::nods:::

I think Gold looks the best with level 27, 46, and every level 55 and above. I prefer dark (or neutral) for every other level.

IIRC, level 45 is the ultimate black weapon with the gold aura. If it's the scythe I'm thinking of. 46 isn't bad either, though, nope.

I was in the 3.x ppd range for a long time (and probably raved about 3.456 at some point, just like 1.234). Hell, I'm even 2.x ppd right now... talk about a typo. There's bad typos and then there's BAD. TYPOS. I just made the latter (by my standards, at least).

Sadly I went to go buy them today from the bin and I found none or maybe they were buried deep into the pile. Might go early in the morning or something literally take all the CDs out to organize it a bit and find those 2 CDs, who knows, might find a few other CDs to get. Found a couple of KISS, Fleetwood Mac, Journey, and Foreigner CDs in there though. That or go to an fye store over the weekend and look for them there. On another note, last time I went there I couldn't find any Buckethead albums.

I turned up at a friend's yesterday and found that he's acquired a copy of Floyd's discovery boxed set. I might just have to borrow those CDs and copy them up.

Ahh, nice, found some of those there too. Might just get them. Then again my dad has an entire Pink Floyd, Metallica, and AC/DC boxsets sitting downstairs. Might be worth getting out and putting the stuff on my computer anyways.

If I did that with my dad's music, the only stuff I'd still need to copy would be the Beatles. I will eventually, but just can't be arsed at the moment.

The fist levels are some of my favourites. I like all of them, except level 47.

Probably the only levels I don't like at all are levels 33,34, and 54. Aside from that, the other ones do not bother me much. Also after checking NG Logs this morning, had I never missed a day on Newgrounds in my life I would be level 46, neat.

I don't really like the 30s at all. Out of all of them I only really like level 36 and level 39.

The gold aura is overrated, because without using a script most users can't have it. I used the gold aura for a few months after I was made an icon mod and I began hating it. It's nice to have at first though.

It seems like if Tom was going to do something about the cookie cutter flash submissions he would have done it already. Maybe he eventually will do something about them, but honestly I doubt it.

The radio station I listen to has a news break every 15 minutes during the morning, so I'm pretty much up to date most of the time.

The sad part is at this point most of the crappy submissions are suddenly looking a lot better too because the cookie cutter games are just becoming more of an annoyance than they are fun.

I will say though that not all of them are cookie cutters. Some do respond to the reviewers and update their userpage to tell of the new game. There is a couple but the only I can remember the name of is FlashGirlGames. Wonder what will become of these annoying cookie cutters in the redesign as well.

It remains to be seen, but the only reason these seem to be submitted to the portal is that they produce exposure to the websites.

If I did that with my dad's music, the only stuff I'd still need to copy would be the Beatles. I will eventually, but just can't be arsed at the moment.

Ahh I see. Not a large amount of their songs I liked but I did enjoy Yellow Submarine, Hey Jude, Come Together (along with the Aerosmith cover), and strangely Revolution 9...

Aerosmith covered Come Together? I love Michael Jackson's working of it, as it's quite rock-like, as opposed to the Beatles, which just seems a little lifeless and flat.

The gold aura is overrated, because without using a script most users can't have it. I used the gold aura for a few months after I was made an icon mod and I began hating it. It's nice to have at first though.

I would agree it is probably really nice to have at first and then after awhile you would likely grow tired of being PMed by forum regulars/reviewers/and audio users alike sending you messages all the time for various things.

I don't even mean with the mod powers. If every body was given the option to use the gold aura I wouldn't use it. I don't like it. I prefer dark, neutral, and light over it.

There is a couple but the only I can remember the name of is FlashGirlGames. Wonder what will become of these annoying cookie cutters in the redesign as well.

It seems like if Tom was going to do something about the cookie cutter flash submissions he would have done it already. Maybe he eventually will do something about them, but honestly I doubt it.

Same here but it's always cool to dream right? I've come across a couple of them that are not too bad for games but then the rest of their games on their account are bland and stale after a couple of minutes.

igirlgames (or anything similar) annoys me the most out of all of them. The other ones are annoying too, but there's probably been a few people that actually got some enjoyment out of them.. Very little, if any, people have probably actually played and enjoyed any of the games. Most people that play their games probably play them hoping it will be an adult dress up

The fuzzy handled axe, 35, and 39 all look good to me I think. Even level 31 looks pretty nice.

I like the tomahawk ("Fuzzy handled axe" aka Level 36), 39... and 35 is okay, I guess... It's my 3rd favourite out of all of the other levels in the 30s. I don't like level 31 at all, though. It's a boring level, I think.

I can see what you are saying since a butcher knife seems kind of dull and overused in horror/murder movies.

I think it looks too much like the previous level, and it's sort of a down grade from the previous level as well, both look and combat wise.

I am the dreaded Level 19.

Well, Ribéry, Robben (who scored the third goal today) and Müller (who scored the first goal today) HAVE scoring capabilities, but they are a different type of player than Gomez. Gomez is somebody who stays up front, who gets the ball from his team mates and whose job it is to just be at the right spot at the right time.
The other players are more like players who dribble past the defenders and then shoot.
Of course, Gomez can also dribble and then shoot, but his technique is... well... limited. ^^
But it doesn't matter that much if he just does his job and gets the ball over the line somehow.

Yeah, but I mean if you have any midfielders with good scoring capabilities, or good "number 10's", it doesn't have to be a problem when you only have a guy like Muller up front.

Yeah it's ridiculous how much those people get paid and also, how much clubs pay for such a player. I don't know, but it looks like football is kind of digging its own grave when clubs start to toss cash around in such numbers.

Won't happen as long as the sponsors pay and the tv stations pay millions for the broadcasting rights...

It's all the medias fault!

Water!

Hm... I was more thinking of something better. Some things can keep burning under water.

Erm... some flame retardant goo-y stuff then.

You need to call it. I can't call it for you. It wouldn't be fair.

It shows a cool face, of course.

Well done.

All teams with too much money waste talent - just to stop everyone else from utilising them. That saddens me.

Yes it is such a shame that the football world is going that way. Another bad thing about it is that the smaller clubs without as much budget just don't stand a chance in the Champions League anymore because of clubs like that. All their talent is bought away by them and their matches are basically David vs Goliath.

I thought it was sad to see last Tuesday that my favorite club, Ajax, got wiped off the pitch by Real Madrid (3-0). Ajax used to be amongst the best clubs in Europe, but they just can't compete with clubs like Chelsea and Real Madrid anymore.

Oh man... my family would kill me if I missed my brothers wedding that way.

Yeah, it's going to hurt my family, but I can't see any other way around it. I have tried my best to get on with my brother, but he never fucking talks to me, so I can't tell what he wants me to do and I constantly get a bad press for it, despite the fact I'm trying.

I don't suppose your family would want any drama during the wedding either, so perhaps it'll be for the best to steer clear anyway.

I remember fondly talking about my 1.234s and such. I never broke 2 ppd due to not discovering the BBS until just shy of my 3rd NG birthday, but... still. We take what we can get.

Yeah, those were the times.

I was in the 3.x ppd range for a long time (and probably raved about 3.456 at some point, just like 1.234). Hell, I'm even 2.x ppd right now... talk about a typo. There's bad typos and then there's BAD. TYPOS. I just made the latter (by my standards, at least).

Steve Ouimette - The Devil Went Down To Georgia

Have you heard his cover of dueling banjos? Does not sound too bad, he even modified one of the guitars to have a banjo string for a sixth string I think.

I saw that, but for me, it doesn't sound quite right - yes, he's done a good job and it's a nice challenge on Guitar Hero, but not as good as Devil.

Not even Steve could best the Devil himself...

Wouldn't a guitar made of gold weigh hundreds of pounds and sound crummy?

But I meant The Devil Went Down to Georgia

It remains to be seen, but the only reason these seem to be submitted to the portal is that they produce exposure to the websites.

Yea but the reviews I've seen on some seem to show they are getting annoying with it a bit.

Ooh, do I have to purge >:)

Aerosmith covered Come Together? I love Michael Jackson's working of it, as it's quite rock-like, as opposed to the Beatles, which just seems a little lifeless and flat.

Indeed they did and it doesn't sound too bad either. I enjoyed quite a few Michael Jackson songs, too bad he has left the world to go elsewhere sadly.

I was quite pissed off with The Sun newspaper in the UK, as it printed a picture of Jackson's corpse as front page news. I felt sick to the stomach a few days back. No-one should see one of their heroes like that. Hell, no-one should see another creature like that ever - not printed on a newspaper

The success of the top clubs is actually killing off the competition.

Yeah, I feel the same about Aston Villa - we won lots of competitions in the early 80s, but now we're lucky if we can finish mid table.

Mum said she doesn't care what I do, but it's not hard to see she's lying. My brother's baby machine had her third kid yesterday (his second) and I'd just rather ignore the situation. They get praise and attention for being reckless. Well, I've still got a life and if they've ruined theirs, then that's fine by me. I'll meet the kid before he's 8 weeks old, when I met their second - it's not harmed relations with my nieces, so why should it harm relations with my Nephew?

London is the exception - Surrey and Middlesex play their games at the Oval (Kennington) and Lords (St John's Wood). They are over the Thames from one another, but separated by about 5 miles.

I'm not back home just yet, even though I did leave Paris yesterday but I do have to make a special post for this achievement. Congrats on changing the front page!! What you've done is quite possibly more of a change to the site than my contributions to icons and genres. So little will appreciate all my efforts to update flashes for the redesign while you will be thanked more for interviewing these individuals.

Once again, congrats!
