This will sound hilarious to some of you but I should have went to this show instead of seeing Manowar tonight. However, by the time I heard about this show, the last remaining tickets were the poorer seats so I left it be. At least by seeing Manowar live, I've seen the best of them but also seen Joey DeMaio's true colours who is the sole reason why I may not see them for the second time.

Total Voting Power 14.00 and Level 47.

Behold the Golden Nintendo Power Glove of Blam.

Coop thinks that his condition may actually be getting better... hopefully. Congratulations to:

See, Haggard will make you see the true way :P

If he would stop by more often... or at all... then I guess he would be.

I'll slap him on Steam for it.

Slap him harder!

It's a Garbage song, so it can't be bad. :P

Milk is one of my favorite songs from Garbage. :(

To each, his own. I was just never a fan of theirs.

I liked them since "Only happy when it rains" and bought every album. But I've never seen them live. :(

"Nickname for people living in London... yeah, I already knew that... 'Cockney rhyming slang', oh, that's better.

Oh yeah, that's a possibility!

"Ha, now it will look like as if I knew all along what he was talking about!"

Awesome. However, if I'd have quoted Python at you - "One of t'cross-beams has gone out of skew on the triddle." You'd have known exactly what I was talking about.

I actually had to look up that quote, but I remember that episode, although not too clearly. But it's the first time I see the whole Flying Circus, so it's no surprise I don't know every episode by heart.

No, the Simpsons were never that crass, Homer was drunk and gawping at Maud's bosom.

I don't remember that episode.

Hm, I think I remember that episode. But I've not seen it in quite some time.

I could respond with "told you so", but I won't do any "rubbing it in". Instead I wait until your news post. But I may refrain from commenting on it to avoid any "rubbing". ^^

We have NGLogs for that. Just click on "My Medal history".

Back from London. For once, I was actually happy to get the coach. Not because it's cheaper but yesterday was disastrous for trains. There was a power fault in the Wembley arena so all the trains going to Euston were put on a halt. Passengers were relocated from train to train and when I arrived at Watford, I couldn't go any further with the trains and had to get a bus to any London Underground station I could find that (besides Overground line). I didn't even have time to stop at my sister's flat so it was heading straight to Brixton for the show.

I've already briefly expressed my thoughts on the show and you will get to hear the full details this Friday. I may even have a new website by then.

Yeah, I can spot a few faults on Uncharted 1. My sister has Uncharted 2 down in London but can't seem to find the game for some reason.

I was thinking about stopping at 36k when I saw I hit that number. But oh well, there where still some flashes UJ that I had voted to keep, so I'm now over 36k saves. Maybe I will take a short break from saving at 36063.

You are not gfox!

Yeah, it's a really good price.

And there goes another game on my "I have to buy that sometimes" list. Problem with this list: It tends to get longer and longer.

So does my list. However, music is far, far worse.

Wait, you're actually avoiding this?

Well, if there was a way to listen to the songs without the Lou Reed parts I might give it a try.

Try this. For the real Lou Reed parts, give this a shot. :P

No, I can blame PAL for it. Had it not been for these shitty formats, we wouldn't have to worry about Sonic and Mega Man music playing slower than they should.

Yet another thing we don't agree with each other. :(

On the other hand, we may finally get somewhere with Manowar... This is the end of Wi/Ht? as we know it.

There's only a true problem with one of the band members. The three other men are still great in my books.

If you "rub it in" because of Joey DeMaio, that isn't entirely new since I knew he was an oddball beforehand. The only ones that find him sane are fanboys that would take orders from a fucking roadie.

Maybe so, but sound those suckers make when they start whipping around your body is worth the effort.

It's the first episode you ever saw? You need to remember it off by heart, like I do:

"Space. It seems to go on and on forever. But then you get to the end and a gorilla starts throwing barrels at ya!"

No, I saw a few months back on the Hexalist update, that I was approaching 2,000. I just used NG Logs to stay in touch.

I could wear pink if I wanted to. I just choose not to - it would be green with me, if I weren't sprayed a gaudy gold.

Green is good. gfox say so. Sure, he may not be around often enough but his opinion is still relevant.

I found myself in the Top 400 EXP rankings. :P

You missed a treat. But if it helps, they announced that they'll be doing another concert on 17th November 2012 at the Royal Albert Hall. Should be good as they'll be celebrating Final Fantasy's 25th anniversary. Tickets are likely to be going on sale in December.

Yeah, I can spot a few faults on Uncharted 1. My sister has Uncharted 2 down in London but can't seem to find the game for some reason.

I think the biggest thing they fixed was the hand-to-hand system which I always remember feeling very clunky in #1. They also generally cleaned up the game physics so it felt a lot smoother.
I'm currently playing Uncharted 3 and absolutely loving it. Hope you're able to get hold of #2 at some point.

You should mention to her that they'll be coming back in 2012. If you feel like making her more jealous, you can tell her that Nobuo Uematsu (who composed al of the music) was there in person...

They are touring so there might well be tickets available elsewhere. There is something very cool about hearing tunes that you knew as tinny midi files suddenly expanded into sweeping orchestral scores. They should definitely do it more often and with other games
