I like that song.

Nah I didn't. But maybe they altered it a little for our musical? I can't blame the singer though. She was one of the very few in our school who had some real singing and acting talent.

Maybe I like the song better because the version I have is immediatly followed by "Let the sun shine in", which is a pretty good song as well.

But Anton Chigurh is a different kind of cool. The kind of "I don't really have to, but I'm gonna shoot you with my silenced shotgun anyway".

But he gets away with the "cool face" anyway.

You'd need quite a pair of balls to stand up against him :p

Or a cooler "cool face", so he's like "get the fuck out of here!"

Or we should ask Richard Dean Anderson. He was in that series that kinda looked like this.

Stargate? That series sucks big time.

Lol yeah probably. I never watched it, I just referenced South Park XD

Oh. :(

Hmm I don't actually see an awful lot of Mercedes cars on the roads here. They seem to have become less popular over the past few years.

Maybe they are "too german"? ^^

Yeah maybe people feel a bit too much like a show-off here with a Mercedes. Personally I don't like the cars that much, but they do look like a status symbol.

Only old and retired people (or young turkish boys) drive a mercedes!

Better than everything from John Bush era by far. However, there's still some feel from that era but Anthrax provide a nice versatile album. It's worth picking up.

Since I still don't have anything from Anthrax (but I thought about picking something up for quite some time now...), which album would you say I should get first?

Do they even want to entertain people?

I don't think so. I guess all they want is the money from the ads.

You are so right.

Glad to see it. Plan on buying it this weekend along with some new band shirts and maybe some tv show shirts (I rarely buy either of them so it could work).

Nice one. Despite its flaws, it's still a worthy addition to Anthrax.

I still have 15 more to go.

Just 15? Not more than that?!

That goes all the way up to the end of the year.

I reach level 52 in August so leap year won't make much of a difference.

Nicely done. Leveling up is always nice and the longer you stay the longer it takes to level up. Not bad though since it shows dedication to the site. Probably in order of things you can get the earliest to things that take forever is like this:

Can't argue with that.

I made a request to cut them off.

That is very interesting to know, so you can just have a certain amount removed if you ask and wait?

It's very rare this happens and only the retired B/P'ers at certain counts have ever had this. I can only count two others who had some points sliced off.

No shit, it took me 4 years just to get 2000 blams! The behavior of voting is fucked up:(

I got a Saves achievement yesterday so that can only mean I'm really close to another Blam achievement. Stay tuned.

No, but at least I had a few laughs out of the Simpsons Movie. With Batman & Robin my face was pretty much like 0____0 the whole time.

There were jokes in The Simpsons Movie?

Spiderpig, Spiderpig...

No actually, that was one of the less funnier ones.

Yeah I'm wandering around there now. Monsters indeed give good exp and AP there. I'm not sure how much I will really need it at this point though. I pretty much mastered all the classes for each character that I wanted to master AND I got the Mimic class so that I can set up some awesome ability combos.

Yeah, but if you take into the fact that Bridge has so many variations, it beats cricket. There are three versions of Cricket (Test being 5 days, One day format being 40 or 50 overs per side and Twenty20 being 20 overs per side) We play other versions in village games (50, 40, 36 over matches per side; 12 x 8 ball overs on Wednesday evenings and the 10:10, where each team plays 10 overs and both sides use 10 different bowlers for their overs.)

Those mostly sound like variations that decide how long the game will last.

I'm still amazed at how he could throw the ball a meter wide and still make it bounce towards the wickets. It's not like our sports field was all that smooth.

Ah, a bit of wicked turn. My cutter does something like that and because of the wind across me on Sunday, it was practically straight.

I suppose they designed the ball especially so that it can curve a lot?

Well none of my friends are planning to get married yet, so I don't see myself being asked for best man anytime soon either.

My mum asked me if I'd be considered for Best Man for my brother. I'm not even planning on going to the wedding, I object to the bride so much.

I remember when the anthrax scare started they held a little tour and showed that despite there being a new disease that shared their band name they refused to change their name which was pretty cool considering they had that name way before the disease came along and got its name.

They even had an album called Spreading the Disease, haha.

That goes all the way up to the end of the year.

Well te internet is constantly supplied with 13 year olds so I guess those will stick around for a looong time. As well as Chuck Norris jokes -.-'

Damn, I still need to do that.

Well a pretty good strategy for Omega is having a Mystic Knight with the Rapid Fire ability use Thundaga Sword (preferably with a powerful weapon like the Chicken Knife) and then have someone with the Mix ability use Dragon Power on him. Then Rapid Fire away. You should deal great damage in one turn, like well over 9,999. Use your other characters to stay alive and cast spells like Hastega. You can take him down in 2-3 rounds if you're lucky.

For Shinryuu you should also use someone with the Mix ability and have him/her use Bachuus' Wine and Dark Spot on him. That should blind and berserk him. Then keep yourself alive with Golem and slash away.

These are the strategies I used and they work really well for these two bosses. There were other ultimate bosses in FF games that gave me a LOT more trouble.

To be honest I did look at a let's play because Omega kept kicking my ass. Shinryu is actually surprisingly easy if you know that he's vulnurable to blind and berserk.

Yeah. I actually find it kinda lame that some great bosses in Final Fantasy games can be crippled so easily. Like when you can hit them with Stop or Sleep or a boss that mostly uses magic with Silence or Berserk... =/

Anyway, I think van Gaal is more like a "dictator" and I guess some players just didn't like that. A man like Mario Gomez (who scored 28 goals last season!) is very sensitive. In one game he just hits the goal with every shot. In other games he wouldn't hit the empty goal from 2 meters away.

There are three versions of Cricket (Test being 5 days, One day format being 40 or 50 overs per side and Twenty20 being 20 overs per side) We play other versions in village games (50, 40, 36 over matches per side; 12 x 8 ball overs on Wednesday evenings and the 10:10, where each team plays 10 overs and both sides use 10 different bowlers for their overs.)

Those mostly sound like variations that decide how long the game will last.

Essentially, yes. You can't go playing 50, 40 or even 36 overs a side on a Wednesday evening, as you'll finish in the dark at about 3am on Thursday. It does change the attitude of the fielders and the batsmen for the duration of the game - shorter games, the batsmen take more risks and if you're a good fielding side, you can really restrict them.

I'm still amazed at how he could throw the ball a meter wide and still make it bounce towards the wickets. It's not like our sports field was all that smooth.

Ah, a bit of wicked turn. My cutter does something like that and because of the wind across me on Sunday, it was practically straight.

I suppose they designed the ball especially so that it can curve a lot?

It's all in either the fingers, or the wrist action. Sure, if you catch it on the seam, you'll get it to spin a lot, but the proper spinners get the turn from the roughed up leather either side of the seam.

Well none of my friends are planning to get married yet, so I don't see myself being asked for best man anytime soon either.

My mum asked me if I'd be considered for Best Man for my brother. I'm not even planning on going to the wedding, I object to the bride so much.

Plus little Coop can't afford me.

And because you couldn't really get along well with your brother, right?

I have to get on with him for the kids, but in order not to cause a scene, I'll not be in attendance. I don't want to ruin their day, I just don't want to be hugging the pan in the gents, losing my lunch, either.

Got to love the irony there except they were spreading a good disease called their music. Probably one of the bands where I can see a good mix of Rap and Metal. Kind of lenient with Limp Bizkit though as he only as a couple of songs that can blend both genres anyways.

Yeah, Anthrax released an EP where they experimented with hiphop. I haven't picked that up, though.

I'm afraid I have no plans for any Monday Metal Treasures for 2012. If more people commented on my posts, I'd go ahead with it but I don't think it's been successful enough for a second round. For this reason, I'm going with new plans once I've finished writing up the last remaining posts.

Sounds good to me. Will be looking forward to some new stuff next year then, sounds very promising to me.

If I work hard enough, I might be able to launch it in December.

It sure does. The only ones that have had that are myself, gfox and ramagi. Maybe Denvish as well but I can't quite recall now.

Not too sure but I think a long while back I remember Denvish having 70,000 blam points and less than 100 save points, could have been another user but I think I remember seeing him with those stats.

No, he didn't have that little saves. :P

Yeah, but I wonder if you'll still be in the top 50 saviours by then. Guess we'll see.

Hah, I'll be going downhill so fast. I wonder if it's time for the next update...

That joke was so bad the only place to find less funny jokes is on the internet. The internet thinks over 9000 and rick rolls are still funny.

Well te internet is constantly supplied with 13 year olds so I guess those will stick around for a looong time. As well as Chuck Norris jokes -.-'

Expect the retards to still be obsessed with ponies by 2015 unless something more retarded comes along. It took long enough for them to stop making shitty YouTube Poop videos... Oh wait, some of them still do that.

Damn, I still need to do that.

Well a pretty good strategy for Omega is having a Mystic Knight with the Rapid Fire ability use Thundaga Sword (preferably with a powerful weapon like the Chicken Knife) and then have someone with the Mix ability use Dragon Power on him. Then Rapid Fire away. You should deal great damage in one turn, like well over 9,999. Use your other characters to stay alive and cast spells like Hastega. You can take him down in 2-3 rounds if you're lucky.

Oh yes, anything Thunder-related is enough for Omega but he does have strong attacks.

Gotta love exploitations.

Yeah. I actually find it kinda lame that some great bosses in Final Fantasy games can be crippled so easily. Like when you can hit them with Stop or Sleep or a boss that mostly uses magic with Silence or Berserk... =/

That's actually quite clever of Square. They assumed only the very bored ones would go as far as experimenting with inflicting abnormal status on big bosses. It's like casting zombie on Yu Yevon but less retarded.

Ok, let's hope I remember this when I am about to buy an Anthrax album.

Among the Living should be the easiest to find. They did have a reissue but I got mine back in 2006 so that was well before they added the bonus tracks.

Then make threads about games you like.

I'm sure the threads about games I like already have been made and died some years ago. I rarely play current games, as I always wait a few months before I buy games. They are a lot cheaper if you wait long enough. Also, if I get a new game it can take years before I actually play it, lol.

Just make the threads anyway or use the search bar if you feel they've been made already. :P

Sounds interesting. The only one I'm completely aware of that is a mix of the hip hop and metal genre is their song "I'm the Man" which seems a bit humorous anyways.

That was actually the first song of theirs I listened to. It wasn't a good one, though since that wasn't Among the Living or anything like that.

If I work hard enough, I might be able to launch it in December.

That would be pretty great.

For now, I better work on what I have left for Monday Metal Treasures. With my weekly schedule, I don't find a whole lot of time to do them but I'll do what I can to cook up a few more posts ready for when I plan to post them.
