Manilla Road to the World - Part 14: Chromaphobia (After Midnight Live). One of this and it'll be all done.

I have to say, Nostalgia Critic fucking sucks. 45 minute review and you fill it with loads of crappy jokes and music so horrible that it outdoes Lulu? Get the fuck outta here!

Yes, I will do that.

Good stuff. I may need to be covered for Saturday but Sunday and Monday will be fine with me. That's right, it's yet another trip to London.

Yeah, Creator Failure tends to be forgettable.

I think they don't even play it live anymore.

Why when they can play Burnt Offerings or even Dante's Inferno?

And that depends on how notable all those bands are.

Well, there are a shitload of bands called "Nihilist" or some variations of that. "Nightwolfe" seems to be a common name as well.

lol. Will the band's pick be one of them?

Once again. lucky. :P

Maybe you just had bad luck?

I've had bad luck with Firefox as well. At least Chrome is stable... for now.

Actually, we can scrap the little meet up now. I was called up just yesterday about doing a work trial which is expected to continue beyond that. It starts on Tuesday so that's definitely the Wednesday meet up not going to plan after all.

Fuck. My brother was okay with traveling to Liverpool.
Do you happen to know any nice pubs in Manchester that sell a good breakfast?

I'm afraid I don't know too much about Manchester. Only some shops and venues.

Unlike the other people who have gotten this level as of lately, I actually like it.

I'm glad some like it.

No, I think it gave me a terrible head.

That is what I obviously meant.

But I'm a better SS.

Without question - you were supposed to fill in the blank, by the way :3

And I win, yay!

Sure, why not?

Oh god.

To deposit your experience you must vote on five Flashes in a day, adding ten points to your overall. You may only do this once a day, that day being defined by the Newgrounds local time, -5 from GMT. As you reach certain preset milestones, dictated on the levels page, your icon will be upgraded to the next rank. Since the removal of referrer EXP, years and years ago, there has been no other way of gaining Experience other than this, so any hopes you have of reaching levels faster than other people will not happen, you'll have to to settle for the +10 per day flat rate.

You passed 2000 total saves. Way to go!

Level 9!

22,000 Saves!

Levels 1-9 are not mentioned on the lists when people make them since they are the easiest levels anyone could get. Levels 10-60 however are mentioned so when you get to level 10 then you will see your name on a list.

You passed 40000 Total Points. Bodacious!

With the type of women around where I live? They don't so much as come on to you as just hike up their skirts and show off the merchandise.

Everyone knows that certain types of dragons can shape-change.

But in answer to your question, something far better :D

Too cold out. Postponed until Summer.

Too little conversation going on again. Anyone got any plans for Xmas yet? Have you started or even finished (!) your Xmas shopping? What are you hoping to get?

Will be seeing Cathedral tomorrow. I suppose some assistance for depositing will help me then.

I only watched it for Brentalfloss, it wasn't a good reason to watch, his songs weren't his best as well.

One part of his was what killed it all for me. I'm not saying it wasn't his fault since if there's anyone who wanted to throw in the lame ass joke about pointing out the penis in The Little Mermaid cover, it's either Rob or Doug.

Fair enough.

Just the usual. As for presents, I've cooked up a list so anyone can look at it and see what I want as opposed to unwanted crap. :P

Going so far as to create distinct scripts and languages for the races whom inhabit it is just incredible, even if the creation of fictional language/glossopoeia was one of his personal hobbies even without his book world.

Apologies for the doublepost, however the last one was a few hours ago, and I have a stat upgrade to post: I have just reached 2000 saves. Not too impressive considering how easy saves are to achieve, but considering about 250 have been gained in the past fortnight I'd say that it isn't to bad, especially considering I've maintained a pretty decent ratio at the same time, albeit not in the last week (so many blams being turned down D:).

Holy cow!
Group B: Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Portugal. What a group! With the exception of maybe Denmark every team can win this one. Should be very interesting.

Group D: Ukraine, Sweden, France, England. Sounds relatively easy, but we all know how England performed in a group the tabloids called "EASY" in the 2010 WC...

Exactly. They have so many amazing songs, they can easily ditch songs from live shows that don't turn out to be that great.

And that depends on how notable all those bands are.

Well, there are a shitload of bands called "Nihilist" or some variations of that. "Nightwolfe" seems to be a common name as well.

It starts with "Ni-", but it doesn't end with "-hilist" or "-ghtwolfe".

Maybe you should work in quality inspection for browsers. You seem to run into a lot of trouble. ^^

Ah well, maybe we can find one ourselves.

I have presents for my wife, my mom and I plan to buy something in Manchester for my brother. That leaves me with no presents for my niece and nephew, so I will have to get something for them, still.
My brother buys the present for my father, so I don't have to worry about that. ^^

I took the time to deposit today and hit level 27

Maybe I should do this more often...

Three weeks ago, I had 3,450 reviews. Over the past 22 days, I've managed to up that to 3,500 Total Reviews

Overall, it's been a poor year for my review totals, but I'm sure hoping to finish the year strong. Maybe this means that 2012 will have huge totals in this respect for me, who knows?

You passed 64,000 B/P! Congrats!

You reached level 42!

You passed 53000 B/P! Congrats!

So there's no dragons around there.

I wouldn't like to swear to it, but most animals must have similar looking vaginas.

I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online and I was getting to the Misty Mountains with Peretil, my Hobbit Hunter. I have some missions for Gloin to fulfil.

I absolutely love Tolkien, for his writing style, imagination and most of all his devotion to making his world as believable and deep as possible. Going so far as to create distinct scripts and languages for the races whom inhabit it is just incredible, even if the creation of fictional language/glossopoeia was one of his personal hobbies even without his book world.

Yeah, I love his work, but some of the sad people that attend his grave every anniversary of his birth and death, to read Elvish poetry need their heads examined.

Group A is easy, with Poland, Russia, Czech Republic and Greece will mean that all nations are pretty evenly matched, with the exception of Russia.

Buy him a Man Utd top :P

Just some silly food for thought, and since we're not allowed stat threads, I'll just leave this here:

Dear B/P whores,

Rankings are generally judged by the smallest number being the best.

0 is a smaller number than 1.

People with no B/P at all have their rank listed as 0.

Ergo, by gaining any B/P, you have forever put yourself below the vast majority of the userbase as far as B/P ranks are concerned. And no amount of B/P gaining can ever change that. So where's "moving up the list" now?

( lol XD )

I just passed 80,000 BP!

This place would be pretty quiet if people only posted Level-ups and Rank-ups, particularly for the more experienced users who would have months between posts. See it more as a way of noting particular milestones. My general rule of thumb is anything that you receive a congratulations for in NGLogs.

Total VP = 10
