It was more of a reference to the entire forum. It's not quite as active as before. Most of us are busy in real life, that's for sure.

Yeah, that's true enough, but I'm trying to make time for other things as well. Maybe I'll be able to get the next chapter of my werewolf story finished at some point.

I think I have a few flashes that I want to flush out on top of getting all of my old deleted flashes submitted again. This will involve changing the files though. All I have to do is put ads on them because I hadn't done that before and doing it now will let me change the file and make a few cents here and there.

Yeah, but the more here and theres there are, the more you'll make. $50 once in a blue moon is nice.

Yeah, I'm mostly concerned about my audio, but if people could visit my profile and bump up all of the audio and flash scores for stuff where I have an active credit, all's the better.

I've noticed mine going down quite a bit as well. Oh well, it's going to happen. I don't think I've done TOO much to make people angry at me, but I have a feeling that it's the same people bringing the score down every day.

Yeah, that's the problem with the egotistical buttmunches that seem to have become the majority on this website.

That's fine with me. I'm not going to create anything award winning anyway so every view adds a few cents in my pocket. I don't mind if someone 0's all my stuff everyday. :P

Particularly if someone pops by to counter 5 it :P

If it helps, I can cook as well - not very well, but I do enough to get by. I mean, how else would I have eaten when myself and Bex were together? Seriously, it'll piss her off, but there's eating late (7pm) and there's taking the piss (10pm)

I can't really cook though. It has to be very simple for me to make it. Anything that goes in the stove may be out of my league.

Anything that's edible is a start!

I'll be cooking today. She's sick and I'll need to feed both of us. :(

At least she's not sic because of your cooking!

Kiff, the way to a girl's heart is through her parents. Have sex with them and you're in!

That's how we met!

So you were having sex with her parents and then they introduced you to her? Okay, I can see that.

Woah, I'm not some sort of sick freak. It was just the mother.

"The mother"... sorry, I got images of. You know what, I'm going to run with it. So the mothersip was what you meant and your girlfriend is really an alien? I'm about this far from calling the FBI!

Surely, that's the very definition of nonconformist - not conforming to trends, mainstream or otherwise.

And yet hipster is a trend. lol paradox.

I like the fact that nonconformist is an oxymoron - how can you not conform and yet conform to such an extent that there is a collective noun for people like you?

No, I'm not a wizard. Don't get all this magical stuff mixed up.

Thanks, nice to talk to you again! You guys might see me around the RRC, but I only plan on reviewing flash and art. Audio all kind of sounds the same to me lately.

I guess ManCity want to beat ManUtd in every game they play.

Yeah, but that's the same as Aston Villa and Birmingham City, or any other local rivals, to be honest.

Speaking of the City / Utd rivalry, I found a nice poem yesterday:

United are red,
City are blue.
Both spent more than Arsenal,
Though Arsenal got through!

Lol!
But I think United fans are more pissed than City fans. It was the first champions league ever for City, so many said: "Euro League? Good for us, bad for them [United]!"

Gets worse, before it gets better, I'm afraid. Still, nothings permanent

The next cool level is level 51...

What a coincidence. I mean don't get me wrong, I liked Level 49, though the art could have been better for 47, though I'm not sure about Poseidon or the gaudy ninja.

48 isn't that bad, but it's still worse than most of the lower levels.

It's all relative - they did it out of personal choice and some people will be unhappy with the way that you get worse before you get better. Wouln't it be a boring life if we agreed on everything?

But life is supposed to get better every day!

Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

You should work on the way how you deliver bad news...

The Cavern Club would have been one place just so you can say you went to the place where The Beatles formed.

At least I have been to the Kaiserkeller many times. This is where they started to become big.

Well, you have one but you may as well visit the other. It's like going to the Eiffel Tower once in your life. It's something that has to be done just so you can say you were there.

I've never been to the Eiffel Tower and right now I don't think I missed too much.

Good, we can agree that level 49 fucking sucks.

I'm not happy with the gold levels at all, but level 49 just beats them all.

Yeah, it really does suck out of everything else. Even seeing a half-naked man at level 59 is better. At least there's some balls there.

We can't tell for sure. The picture doesn't chow them. Maybe he chopped his balls off LIKE A BOSS?

I doubt I'll reach it before the redesign, unless they keep the mighty sword which I'm sure they will.

Maybe I don't have to cope with level 49 at all.

That would make you really lucky. Too bad they didn't get the redesign done soon enough.

Maybe they give you the switchblade for level 50 after the redesign? :P

There are other sites where you can watch highlights. And if everything else fails, there's also the official site where they show highlights for free. ^^

I'll probably celebrate it at my current location with my wife and her family and also try to go two hours away to celebrate it with my family. That's what we've been doing the last couple of years so I'm assuming that's how it's going down now.

I literally tried to review some audio from the update this morning and decided that if I did they would come out somewhat lame and maybe even abusive. I can review flash and art whether I like it or not, but I almost have to enjoy music to even think about reviewing it.

I'll add two more flash requests this week, but don't worry they aren't anything special. Oh wait, you and Coop already know that. :P

Two hours is just too long in my opinion. Not sure if I really feel like sitting through that, unless I'm really bored.

Two hours is the Suburban Knight TGWTG special. The Moulin Rouge review is 45 minutes long. It's ridiculous considering how much could have been cut out to go straight to the point.

Then you can use whatever time else for multiplayer. That or play another game. Actually, that wouldn't be good for the former game.

Yeah, but if the multiplayer is very addicting then it can also really drain your time.

Heh, I don't even play that much multiplayer these days. Even TF2 went out the window for me.

The Where is/How to? forum has a tradition of what some users call statwhoring - people here tend to be more competitive with their user statistics than those whom frequent the other boards within the site. In addition (and perhaps the previous reason is because of this fact), most information relating to Newgrounds and its systems is kept to these forums. I cannot imagine this thread having been created in any other place, and I think this is a very fitting place - for tradition as much as any of the other reasons.

Perhaps by definition it would be, but I don't think it'd function quite so well. Due to the naturally slower nature of Wi/Ht? it's less likely to sink down through the pages, and due to this thread becoming embedded in the core of this, the question answerers tended to mix with those users whom were more interested with stats and begin to sort of merge into one group - the Wi/Ht? users we have nowadays. Apologies if I've essentially restated what I previously said, I'm getting slight deja vu right now.

Exactly the case. I think that we can also say that since the other stat topics (lists etc) belong here, why not have the Levelup! Lounge in here? The exception to prove the rule, as there are technically no stat threads allowed, i.e. no threads to say "this is my 1,111th post!" or similar. If we allowed that, our back teeth would be swimming in even more piss than usual.

I literally tried to review some audio from the update this morning and decided that if I did they would come out somewhat lame and maybe even abusive. I can review flash and art whether I like it or not, but I almost have to enjoy music to even think about reviewing it.

Yeah, I too have experienced this. "Hm, what can I say about this song? Nothing... at least, nothing that would help the author..."

Say that right to them. I can always pass the message to Luis next month in Manchester.

Yeah, do that if they haven't presented the redesign until then.
Also while you are at "passing messages", can you go to Leo's Fish Bar on Oldham Street and tell them that their Full English Breakfast isn't really that good? The sausages where quite raw and the mushrooms didn't taste good as well.
At least, the Full English Breakfast I had in a different café a few meters away that was much better. (I forgot the name. I think it was between "Cheque & Pawn" and "Studi 81 Tattoo", but I cannot read any name on Street View).

Oh, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

You should work on the way how you deliver bad news...

I really am sorry to disappoint you.

Thank you.

Well, you have one but you may as well visit the other. It's like going to the Eiffel Tower once in your life. It's something that has to be done just so you can say you were there.

I've never been to the Eiffel Tower and right now I don't think I missed too much.

One of the best views I've seen, for sure and I only reached the halfway point. It was an additional fee just to be at the very top of the tower.

I bet I can have a better view from the television tower in Hamburg. But I don't know if the upper plattform is open to public... there used to be a (bad) restaurant, but due to new fire escaping regulations it will never open again. Then there used to be a bungee jumping plattform, but it closed in 2001.

Yeah, it really does suck out of everything else. Even seeing a half-naked man at level 59 is better. At least there's some balls there.

We can't tell for sure. The picture doesn't chow them. Maybe he chopped his balls off LIKE A BOSS?

Oh fuck, now, err, there's still some muscles there so it shows some fighting skills. :P

I wonder why on earth I typed "chow" instead of "show" there...
Anyway, yes, that are some VERY manly muscles (no homo of course).

That would make you really lucky. Too bad they didn't get the redesign done soon enough.

Maybe they give you the switchblade for level 50 after the redesign? :P

Golden shitblade?

Why not? It has to be better than a golden cupid.

Yeah, but that's the same as Aston Villa and Birmingham City, or any other local rivals, to be honest.

Speaking of the City / Utd rivalry, I found a nice poem yesterday:

United are red,
City are blue.
Both spent more than Arsenal,
Though Arsenal got through!

Lol!
But I think United fans are more pissed than City fans. It was the first champions league ever for City, so many said: "Euro League? Good for us, bad for them [United]!"

Yeah, but top of the Premiership means that they're playing pretty well domestically, but in Europe, not so well.

Just like Borussia Dortmund. Playing pretty well in the league, but crashing out of champions league. And they didn't even make the euro league!

What a coincidence. I mean don't get me wrong, I liked Level 49, though the art could have been better for 47, though I'm not sure about Poseidon or the gaudy ninja.

48 isn't that bad, but it's still worse than most of the lower levels.

It's all relative - they did it out of personal choice and some people will be unhappy with the way that you get worse before you get better. Wouln't it be a boring life if we agreed on everything?

But life is supposed to get better every day!

Yeah, that's why people die, isn't it? Excuse me for being a little cynical and bitter this morning, but funerals bring out a strange side of me.

I'm sorry for your loss. And there's nothing wrong with being cynical.
Also, there's a saying: "Always leave when things are at their best." so that indicates that life should get better every day and when things are at their best, it's time to leave this earth. ;)

I don't particularly believe that it looks too bad, although it certainly looks more delicate than some of the other ones, although the word intricate could be substituted in. It's more of a beautiful weapon rather than a nice, solid one like 43 or 23, my two personal favourites. I always believed I'd stop at twenty-three, as it's far superior in my opinion to all of the other icons surrounding it, but the problem with that is that is that it's coming in about two months or so now, and I wish to continue B/Ping as I'm only about a ninth as far into the B/P ranks as I would like to be.

I reached 36,000saves, although I'd much rather see my blam rate go up since that is going up so slowly, lol.

Heh, so what if there's a fire problem in the Eiffel Tower? There's a restaurant halfway up the tower.

Why not? It has to be better than a golden cupid.

You know what, I have to agree on that. At least you have to directly point it to your enemy to hurt them.

I was willing to go through level 47 and I'll take level 50 for granted. I won't feel at loss if the golden shurikens were scrapped from the redesign, though. Well, just as long as there's no more cupid.

All joking aside, is the layout next year now? It would seem odd to just have them as Christmas levels, and then have them different all of a sudden.

I don't imagine they'll want to spend Christmas working on any bugs that might occur so it will be next year now.

Right, list to follow, but first, an achievement:

99,000 B/P

What a nice number. Not as nice as 100,000, but I'm on the final straight!

Yes, I know - I meant to finish the sentiment off, but I was a little distracted by the funeral. I meant to say that I'd only discovered heelies due to that encounter and nothing that funny had happened with hipsters.

So how many got to experience your magic? :P

If I felt like that, I'd have had to commit suicide at about 11. 17 years later, I'm having fun, for the most part.
