Look at mine, there's a humongous gap between my Blams and Saves (40,000+) and yet it doesn't look that bad, because I'm in the top 40 Blammers. It's all relative.

I think it will be November. I'm sure Tom doesn't want to disrupt the icon modding charity month with the redesign so next month better be it.

Icon modding charity month? What the hell, are you guys getting sponsored, or something?

Have fun wasting £15 on this piece of shit. You can save your money by streaming online.
I might get it as an Xmas present, so I won't feel it's my money that's been wasted.

And what about those blams? Can you see the light to passing me in blams?
I should be able to. I feel that there are some things in life that I am entitled to.
That's good. Of course I'll be sitting there forever, unless they add more B/P ranks.

Yeah, but that's going to cripple me, seeing a rank above 100k added :P

I was unaware that autism had an aroma. Sadly, my studies of aromatic chemistry never really got very far off the ground at Leeds University.

Ah, but according to various sources, those words have meaning.
Interesting. But I only found an entry in urban dictionary when looking for contrafibularities.

Right, here's the extended piece about contrafibularities

This one might be better

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?

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.

IF we are getting the redesign very soon, I'm guessing it'll be a week after Halloween. That'll have the icon mod charity month out of the way.

And I also believe Jeff is going to remove some golden icons and make them start at level 50.

That actually sounds good to me. Sure, I'm not even level 50 yet but I will be in January so it won't be long before I re-enter the golden levels. I always thought the golden levels should start from level 50 to round it off nicely. Here's hoping from the golden levels, they keep the gauntlet, both swords, golden skull and the old level 30 spear. LET THE STUPID BOW AND ARROW DIE!

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.

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.

Level 30.
I thought you were going to remain at level 29 and become TheMaster II. Hell, you two had the exact same EXP yesterday on the 10k updates.

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.

Whoop there it is.

This one might be better
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.

Now THAT'S a word I have to use more frequently!

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?

Oh yeah, it is. But is poking fun at Hitler really enough for what feels like 10 million sitcoms based on WW II?
On the other hand, there are like 20 million sitcoms out there that are based on relationship troubles...

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 :(

Flying Circus is a lot stranger than 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

I can't think of any good rhymes, but that's why I'm not dubbing sticoms. ^^

Or some shitty prostitute?
I'm guessing that's the case. I don't think she's a table.

I'm afraid I don't understand the meaning of the last sentence... :(

Except the band isn't shit.
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.

A bad joke. No one laughed.

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.

I'm talking about the technical supremacy of PAL over NTSC, not about the results of shitty and poorly done conversions.

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?
