Passed 10000 b/p

Entered the top 7k in BP ranks

I am now a barfing pumpkin. Damn Halloween icons.

Level 30.

Coop gets creative, before congratulating:
SCTE3: 7.50 Base Voting Power
tally1989: 10,000 B/P
Makeshift: Level 30 Could be worse, I appear to have rotted.

So you've cost him over $100 personally. Impressive. Get more made!

I was hoping to get to 3,000 but I may end up slipping over the next two days. I suppose I've done enough already so it's hard to complain if I don't reach 3,000 this month. A few others have made a fair amount so it's all good. I'll take it easy and set 15,000 icons in total as my goal for the month.

Keep going, there's still time!

But you shouldn't have to get Lulu when you can listen to it online. You're better off getting Morbid Angel's Illud Divinum Insanus.

I don't know it. Besides, I'll listen to it and see what comes of it. I got sent a copy of Akh-toong Bay-bi, the covers of U2's iconic album, Achtung, baby and it's really good. Not what you'd listen to, but I can certainly say that it's different.

Different =/= good. That's clearly the case for Lulu and InSANUS.

Come on, this is getting like the feeling of Bex - apparently, I'm not a metalhead. I've not argued the point with her since we were together, but having spoken to some of our mutual friends on it, it turns out that they think I'm more of a metalhead than her.

I hope they don't go that far. Something like 70,000 would be fine with me.

Stop kidding me, you know that you want them to make top rank, 77,777 B/P :P

Now that would be cool.

Of course it would. It won't happen, but you can dream.

Interesting reads. But I don't think I can add that word to my active vocabulary, lol.

Yeah, it would be like trying to fit antidisestablishmentarianism in there.

Not only differences in language, but also in grammar, it would appear.

Yeah, there are some differences in grammar, but basically german and english grammar are very similar (which makes learning the language a lot easier).
But you'd never say "Ende" or "end" when referring to a box. More like "Seite" or "side". And "auf" usually means "on top of something".
So, a better translation would be "Diese Seite nach oben" ("this side up").

That's what you get when someone that doesn't speak the language translates it, as opposed to someone who understands what the hell they are talking about. Perhaps you'd have a better stab at translating 'Allo 'Allo?

According to Wikipedia 'Allo 'Allo was aired on a station I didn't even knew existed. Also, why are british people so obsessed with WW II? ^^

Because poking fun at Hitler is funny?

Anyway, I think the translators that translated Monty Python's Flying Circus did a pretty good job. Especially in that episode with "Mr. Hilter".

I've not seen it - my python experience is mostly related to the live shows and their films :(

Mind you, the candle with the handle, the jug with the drug and the other rhymes they used would be very difficult to translate as well.

You'd just have to find different rhymes.

But I'm not so sure it would work - this is dubbing we're talking about. If it were re-shot, it would lose some of its 1970s charm

Monday Metal Treasures - Week 44: Helloween - Giants. Hey, it is Halloween so why not?

I'm guessing that's the case. I don't think she's a table.

It is.

NO! The only time they were shit was when they recorded Warriors of the World. Now that was a joke of an album.

Not if it's Sonic or Megaman. They were pissed on entirely for PAL conversion. NTSC had no trouble.

Well of course NTSC had no trouble because it didn't had to be conversed for NTSC.

Which is why it's better.

Damn my ineptitude!

27,000 posts!

Convenient time to reach this milestone since this avoids plastering myself with userscript level icons or the shitty cupid. Next thing to do with posts is reaching the top 10. There's a few users within the 27,xxx range so it'll be easy to reach before 2011 ends.

No way, I hated looking like The Master and HungarianSupermarket for the past while.

Assuming ramagi isn't depositing today, I just passed her up for the #16 experience spot.

Let's just assume you have bought a new film on DVD. Something went wrong in the production of the DVD and the end result is a grainy movie with lots of artifacts, etc.
You buy the same movie on a VHS where said errors don't occur. Would you say that a VHS is a better format for movies than a DVD?

Ahhh... IT'S HALLOWEEEEEEN...

Let's cross fingers! Real hard!

Tom suggested a second month for icon mod charity. He wants us to destroy our minds.

The level 30 SPEAR (damned peons who call it a sword) is by far my favourite level. I'll probably die of an orgasm when I hit it.

It's one level they better keep. It's iconic for Newgrounds.

But I really don't understand all the hate on the bow and arrow.

It destroys the purpose of having a ballsy weapon. The cupid is only good if you're a fucking wuss.

Damn straight. I'm proud of my blams forever remaining higher than my saves.

Hell yeah, me too! Even though I barely have a total of 10,000 B/Ps, hah!.

You're still good. My saves were quite close to the blams but at least the blams remained higher. I would have liked if my retirement blams were 50,000.
