It's kind of surprising that they haven't made a sequel to it considering there is a lot of folklore to Author and they can make three four sequel to it and I'm sure it would be better than Aladdin Return of Jefar, et al.

"Another box of Jafar Cakes" is the only one of those spin off sequels I actually own. The voices weren't as good, but I still enjoyed it.

Can I get another 1999 B/P before the year is out? 46.3 points per day required. I'm looking like I'll be getting 100k within the first fortnight of 2012 at this rate...

Christmas better give us more flashes to vote on. Well, not me since I don't vote on them except for the odd crappy flash.

Yeah, we should get more to vote on, but by that point, I'll need around 50-60 per day, which isn't going to be fun.

No, it was our end of school year meal and trip to a nightclub. I'd been drinking a little to work up the old Dutch courage, but I was let down by extraneous circumstances.

No, I'm pretty sure it happened at a Newgrounds meet as well.

What are you doing on Skyrim? Main quest, side quests or guilds? I'm mixing when I play, but doing the main quest just isn't for me at the moment, too much fun with the side and guild quests. Oh and this happened, so I had fun with this.

I'm putting main quests at the bottom right now. I did the same for Oblivion so why not do it again? Well, except the fact that beating Oblivion's main quest got you powerful armour and weapons but what's good in that when I did everything at that point? Maybe I should finish off the main quest sooner than later. For now, I'm mainly wanting to go quests from The College of Winterhold.

Maybe pre-2011 he was more controversial.

I feel he is still controversial with the stuff he says, I'm still trying to watch all the episodes, but one I saw when he called Nintendo "stupid fucking cunts", I've never heard a reviewer (pretty big reviewer" say that about a game company and one as big as Nintendo.

Spoony has badmouthed Zelda many times, although the difference is that Jim Sterling works as an editor for Destructoid and has several big roles.

That's during the weekday. It'll be difficult for me with all the interviews going on.

Maybe I will visit you in Liverpool, then. A return ticket isn't THAT expensive and I have a whole day to waste after all. The match doesn't start until 20:45.

Yeah, the site could only get well known by word of mouth. Or else you would have to go around linkspamming in every forum. But that would only get you hated by many. ^^

People will have to find me via Google or promotion from bands after seeing reviews for their music.

Which would be the "word of mouth" method I mentioned.

lol, IE wouldn't be crashing my laptop right now.

That's one of the rare cases where IE might be better...

We're in a sad age for the internet when IE can be defended.

True. :(
At least IE6 finally dies out.

But it is their fault for it to crash constantly. No getting out of that one.

Opera rarely crashes on me. And if it does then it has to do with the poor flash support in Linux.
Also, I'm using Opera since version 5, so that's a really long time... ;)

I use Windows.

Opera almost never crashes for me when running Windows.

I know you'll shock us all eventually.

But not with a statement like that.

How else will you shock us?

If I would tell you then it wouldn't be as shocking anymore. Plus, I really have no idea how I should shock you. Or why.

Well, they do some automatic scans, I guess. Propably they catch those "content thieves" by matching hash sums. And if the conent is mirrored... then the hash sum will be different.

No longer need I add one to my experience rank, no longer need I be ever so slightly miffed that the official site is lying to me, as Bahamut's update shows me at #101, while I see #100 on my profile. Those days are happily behind me, starting this morning!

Well I haven't seen the match because I don't care much for the friendlies to be honest (matches are usually boring as hell). But from what I heard Germany fully deserved the victory. Holland has really been playing crap lately. Lost to Sweden, tied to Switzerland, lost to Germany... if they play like this at the EC I doubt they'll make it through the group phase.

Doug Walker is terrible these days. Did you see Suburban Knights? My god, the shit factor that film exceeded Seltzerberg. Couldn't even stand watching his videos since and now he's on a heavier decline with heavily repeating his old meme-like jokes over and over again and now starting to steal jokes from the internet or blindly throwing in clips. When you have three episodes running with at least one Monty Python clip thrown in (as great as it is), that's when you should start freshening up your show a bit. At this point there shouldn't even be anything for his NC videos to review.

I didn't watch Suburban Knights, no. I was interested, but I just never got to watching it and forgot about it.

Anyway, I remember most of his older videos were pretty good and well watchable. He had decent opinions on things and occasionally he had some good jokes.

I also still like Spoony's main videos, but he hasn't really done anything in a while. I'm still waiting for the next FFX-II episode.

He was meant to get something else out according to his Twitter. He seems to do fine with the vlogs but I don't watch them since I don't need him to go on for an hour about one film. That's another reason why I stopped watching NC and Linkara since they couldn't justify 30 minutes of reviewing one thing.

Well he did a one and a half hour review of Twilight: Breaking Down recently (together with Linkara and JewWario live in video chat), which was waaaay too long in my opinion. I did actually sit through the whole thing (not in one sit though) because it was pretty funny. But I really hope he isn't going to make this standard, because in that amount of the time I'd rather go watch the film myself instead.

I just wish he would cut back to 15-20 minutes again. That's an okay sit for the viewers and provides him more than enough time to express his thoughts. He doesn't need to cover every single minute of the film.

Never heard of Jim Sterling, I think...?

He's a review editor for Destructoid and does weekly videos for his Jimquisition series. It's like my gaming rants but better. His videos are usually around 5 minutes so it's all within decent timing. Well, he can't have them for long considering he has a lot to do on Destructoid as well.

Oh I see. Well if it's only 5 minutes I might as well watch a few. Any recommendations?

And did they also add the ending with Saruman taking over the Shire and then Frodo and co. come to save the day? That would've been an hilarious ending to the trilogy :p

It was a little more than that. :P

An additional 15 endings? :p

Out of curiosity, is there a European equivalent for Thanksgiving? I'm gearing up for the US version and it's going to be a busy day of family and food, I can feel it.

Well I haven't seen the match because I don't care much for the friendlies to be honest (matches are usually boring as hell).

Yeah, haven't watched it either, just some parts every now and then.

But from what I heard Germany fully deserved the victory. Holland has really been playing crap lately. Lost to Sweden, tied to Switzerland, lost to Germany... if they play like this at the EC I doubt they'll make it through the group phase.

I was surprised how weak the holland team was. I mean, they just CAN'T be happy with losing 3:0 against one of their biggest rivals, even if it was just a friendly match.
But don't worry about the EC. I think Holland is a lot like Germany: Playing like crap just prior to a tournament, starting very weak into the tournament but performing "better than expected" later on. ^^

Thanksgiving is a bit like the "Harvest Festival", even though the harvest festival isn't such a big thing europe.

For me it would be cheaper if the meet up would happen in Manchester (duh!), but if Bahamut can't make it that would be a pity.

Yeah, I understand. I hope you guys win though - I hate Man City almost as much as Man Utd!

Also - on a totaly unrelated sidenote - I still think it's hilarious how "Worcester" is pronounced "Wuuster". It's like writing "ghoti" and saying "It's pronounced 'fish'".
ENGLISH LANGUAGE! Y U MAKE NO SENSE!

Have you not met my friend, Mr. Cholmondly-Warner? It's pronounced "Chum-lee", but it doesn't look like it :P

I love heading particularly American tourists asking for directions to "Lee-ah-ming-ton Spar", as opposed to "Lemm-ing-ton Spar" Leamington is a lovely place. Worcester is just pronounced as that by the locals. Your could probably get away with pronouncing it as "Worster", but our accent changes it to Wusster.

Hitler with a Ukulele. That was hilarious.

Like I said, Spike was a genius. Sadly missed.

Woah, woah, hold on a second - I'm not having you suggest that our politicians are decent upstanding members of society. They are cheating, lying embezzlers, who only leave their job if the very worst happens and there isn't a shred of halfway decent reputation that they can still cling onto.

Couldn't even stand watching his videos since and now he's on a heavier decline with heavily repeating his old meme-like jokes over and over again and now starting to steal jokes from the internet or blindly throwing in clips. When you have three episodes running with at least one Monty Python clip thrown in (as great as it is), that's when you should start freshening up your show a bit. At this point there shouldn't even be anything for his NC videos to review.

I didn't watch Suburban Knights, no. I was interested, but I just never got to watching it and forgot about it.

Yeah, it may have Spoony in it but he doesn't save the film that much. I will say that some of the better parts of the film were actually from his appearances but then you had the idiotic writers overdoing the jokes which ended up ruining them.

Anyway, I remember most of his older videos were pretty good and well watchable. He had decent opinions on things and occasionally he had some good jokes.

By old, you could mean his sketches from 2006 or before. :P Now that's old school TGWTG. Even when considering his main videos, NC and Bum Reviews were at their best in 2008. 2009 still had plenty of moments but 2010 had many forgettable videos. Both of these characters are drawn out at this point.

Oh, and when Doug has to make a reference to My Little Pony, you know he jumped the fucking shark.

He was meant to get something else out according to his Twitter. He seems to do fine with the vlogs but I don't watch them since I don't need him to go on for an hour about one film. That's another reason why I stopped watching NC and Linkara since they couldn't justify 30 minutes of reviewing one thing.

Well he did a one and a half hour review of Twilight: Breaking Down recently (together with Linkara and JewWario live in video chat), which was waaaay too long in my opinion. I did actually sit through the whole thing (not in one sit though) because it was pretty funny. But I really hope he isn't going to make this standard, because in that amount of the time I'd rather go watch the film myself instead.

I thought 50 minutes of trash talking Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was enough. I went through that but there was a lot of time spent on "Is movie X better or worse than Transformers?" More and more I focus on other video makers for genuine reviews. A lot I've seen are straight to the point and don't drag for 30 minutes.

Well for one thing, our defense is fucking terrible. We have an amazing offense as you might know, but we lack solid defenders.

And yeah, I do think a lot of people in our country would've loved it if we beat Germany. I did read some letters in the paper the next day in which people were complaining about how bad we played.

Oh I see. Well if it's only 5 minutes I might as well watch a few. Any recommendations?

I'll throw in some videos. Boycotting and the current state of Square Enix are good examples of what he does on a weekly basis.

I do like his style and 5-6 minutes is a reasonable amount of time.

I liked the GameOver Thinker as well. I think he had a similar style to Jim Sterling, but recently he has also stuffed some plot into them and to be honest, he kinda sucks at acting and writing. I wish he just went back to his old style.
