A pretty significant couple of days for my NG account is underway. Today I have finally passed into the top 300 for experience, something that has been a long, long time coming. To go with that a less significant stat, my medal total has finally surpassed my B/P total after a point splurge this week courtesy of Fortunacus.

And tomorrow I will reach level 45, my final level before the redesign. Who knows how things will look after that!

That was a damn good time at Manchester, especially with Coop being our surprise guest!

This is getting confusing, I mean, some people count the movies as series 5.

And some may consider season 5 from the broadcast format. If that's the case, the latest season will be the eighth. Goddamn confusions.

I never even used that feature from Opera.

Not even doing a few small things for kicks?

Some kids go around trying to gather some sweets, but they are a minority.

But not doing things for the heck of it?

It's not that, I'd rather have the genuine products and find places that I can trust.

Some bootlegs can be worth it. Also, I don't think that the artists will mind too much if I own a bootleg or two.

If the bootleg has some rarity value, then yes. Something like Slough Feg's compilation album consisting of bootlegged live shows and old demos is a nice treat for the fans, even if the sound quality isn't up to standards.

Also, Singapore can't be as bad as Poland. In %u015Awinouj%u015Bcie there's a huge market and they have bootlegs of nearly everything, even clothes.

Did I mention Latvia is rather shady for products? I bought Black Sabbath's Forbidden from a seller from Latvia and the feel of the CD case did not feel right. Meh, it's not a good Sabbath record anyway and I wouldn't have to resort to any bootleggers if these albums were kept in print from the labels.

Because when I signed up and you are asked if you want a daily e mail about the daily top 5 (to start with 5 eperience) or/and one about the weekly top 5 (for another d experiebce) I just picked weekly.

I'm hoping I can get my Manchester recap done tonight but I do have an urge to play some TF2.

Both were fun times. We ended up looking at each other's screens just to see where we were hiding or lurking around. My favourite moment was hiding as the girder which actually blended well.

Well there are some attackers who are very good at provoking fouls, but a foul is still a foul. That defender probably should've been more careful after that first yellow, right?

I couldn't see any provoking behaviour from Robben there. He simply stopped the ball and stopped running. People said: "Yeah, but why does he stop running? He was provoking this foul!" - "Ok, what else could he have done in that situation?" - "Continue to run." <- conclusion: Never ever stop on a football field, you are provoking fouls. o_O

Lol! Nice logic there indeed.

I suppose he just wanted to wait for back-up or something. Or show off...

Yeah, but who's gonna pay their salary?

Easy: The teams. Whoever pays best will win the game. ;)
Seriously: The football associations. Who else?

Yeah, but apparently they don't want to invest in it or otherwise they would've already done so.

I think they weren't actually that psychedelic actually. Well apart from building giant walls on stage and things like that :p

According to my dad they were just one of the first bands who actually cared about setting up a live show worth experiencing.

Well I tend to have a hard time with picking favourite songs by my favourite bands as well, but I just decided to pick 2 songs max per band and didn't put them in a certain order or anything.

One thread asked for my favourite Maiden track. I think I managed to get it down to a top 20...

That's what I'll get when being asked about my favourite Beatles song. There are many I enjoy, but the problem is that they don't really have a "magnum opus" if you know what I mean.

I believe Hey Jude is their most highly rated song here, but I don't really see what's so great about that particular one.

Well, I'm actually more in favour of Guns N' Roses than ABBA. I heard they were going to be introduced in the Hall of Fame soon (or it might have already happened), but how are they Rock and Roll for fucks sake? I mean, sure they've made their impact on pop music, but they've never had anything to do with Rock or Roll for that matter.

It pretty much covers rock in general. Yeah, maybe ABBA are way more pop than rock but they're another one who shouldn't be there.

Indeed. I get that they have made their mark on pop music, but shouldn't we simply make a Pop Music Hall of Fame where we can put people like ABBA, Michael Jackson and Madonna?

Top 100 in B/P!

10 000 medal points. That took a while.

Thanks Abobo and Miami Shark.

level: 34

85,000 BP.

I just realised that I have less than 10,000 to go for saves then I can finally just quit. I will then become a glutton for 0-1 voting. There may have been a time when I would be ashamed of that but considering how hard it is to get blams, I'm not that bothered. Obviously I just won't vote for things that are very good in the portal. Its going to be hard to remember not to I think.

German band "Die Ärzte" offer all bootlegs on a special webpage where you can download them for free. While they aren't really happy with those bootlegs they don't want their fans to pay horrendous prices for those.
Also, you can download recordings of their live shows on that page, so no one can make a profit from recording those shows. In return, they resign from prosecute anyone who records their live shows.

TAKE THAT, JOEY!

Also, Singapore can't be as bad as Poland. In %u015Awinouj%u015Bcie there's a huge market and they have bootlegs of nearly everything, even clothes.

I'd expect Come Together or Something to be their magnum opus songs or maybe just Abbey Road as a whole. They do have a wide range of memorable songs so it's not easy to pick one favourite Beatles song. It's much easier to declare your favourite records. I go with Sgt. Peppers and Abbey Road.

Now that I know where that shit hides, I propably won't ever need it again.

Unless we get more blackouts or some sites are down at the time. Metal-Archives is a huge offender for downtimes.

I never even used that feature from Opera.

Me neither, but it was nice to have it for the blackout, lol.

I wonder if shit is going to get worse now everyone is back to talking about ACTA.

But not doing things for the heck of it?

Like what?

Listening to Helloween or watching some horror movies. Maybe playing some Resident Evil or Silent Hill. I would mention Left 4 Dead but the horror value is so pussy-like it's insulting to even call it survival horror. Fun game, though.

TAKE THAT, JOEY!

I actually concur.

Did I mention Latvia is rather shady for products? I bought Black Sabbath's Forbidden from a seller from Latvia and the feel of the CD case did not feel right. Meh, it's not a good Sabbath record anyway and I wouldn't have to resort to any bootleggers if these albums were kept in print from the labels.

Some CDs I saw in Poland had very bad cover scans. Everything was blurry and stuff. Makes you wonder who buys that shit.

So Poland and Latvia are on the blacklist. I remember seeing a Polish metal distro that had some ultra rare albums but something didn't seem right to be selling Slough Feg's s/t album where you can't even see it anywhere else due to its extreme rarity. I just hope what I've been buying from Greek sellers are all legit.

I think I'm pretty damn good at games. So fun times to be had.

I thought I was good at games. I still think I'm good at Borderlands and Mario Kart.

Get out.

2012... Still making shitty over 9000 jokes. I wonder how long it will take for the brony fad to be completely dead.

Yeah, but this is a massive fail, because it's not over 9,000, which makes it worse (though I never thought that possible) Also is DBZ worse than Brony?

And I bet your expression was priceless.

Dean shouldn't have mentioned you were there until I arrived at the lounge.

I would have preferred it if that were the case, but not to worry.

Well, you'll need like £10,000 just for a room full of high spec computers. If I want a desktop like that, I'll have to throw all my money away for one.

It's worth looking into - if I can come up with a decent business plan, it might be worth exploring, even if I try it for Birmingham or Worcester, where there's more night life.

If you can afford it, go right ahead. As for me, I should at least see if I can have a desktop in this house. Maybe some furniture arrangements could be done.

Like I said, a few months of research first.

I have a song planned when I see her again.

Fairytale of Newgrounds? Save your love (My Darling)? Just one Cornetto?

I even mentioned it this time last year but let's see who will dig it up.

Can't be arsed.
