Level 14: Hammer-time!

(Actually leveled up on Monday, but my computer was down.)

I've wanted the level 36 tomahawk since the launch of the redesign... So glad I got it before the next redesign. Me Happy.

level 43!

I was a little late on this, but day before yesterday was my 1234th day on Newgrounds!

Coop tries to organise his next week of socialising, without success. Congratulations to:

Yeah, but you've missed hundreds of them. I've only missed six.

Hundreds? I wish! I missed 1288 deposits!

That's still hundreds - thirteen hundred deposits, nearly.

But I'm sure glad that I didn't miss any for over 4 years now.

Exactly - your percentage will climb faster than mine.

Oh and now I've had a change of facial hair, so have a look, a laugh and let me know!

So you are saying that the redesign will happen in 110 days or less, since that is the time it will take for you to level up. I guess that means I'll never see Level 44 then.

It would be quite weird if you ever get to chasing me for the next rank :P The only way that would happen is if I ever reach #1, I feel :P

There is only one way to find out and that's in five years time. By then it will be interesting to see who between us is still alive. Maybe some will fall after the redesign. :P

I'll just get more toys. I still need the Nibbler plush. My parents weren't able to get it for Christmas but I'm not going to fault them since they did well with the majority of presents.

I've just ordered a horde of DVDs for birthday presents and one for myself. That reminds me, I need to update the Xmas list to a Birthday list, since some of the stuff I still didn't get my hands on!

Well there you go. As for me, I've ordered Futurama season 5 online. I did see it in HMV but it was the limited edition with blu-ray, DVD and a T-Shirt. I doubted the size of the T-Shirt so I didn't get it.

That's my prediction. Unless they put it just before Pico Day, I can't see myself reaching to level 51 before we have the redesign. I'm due to level up on 26th April.

Yes, but when you say "hundreds" I think "a few hundreds". Over 1000 is far more than "a few hundreds", however.

But I'm sure glad that I didn't miss any for over 4 years now.

But that doesn't help me too much.

I only have one playlist for music. It's too much work to put together new playlists all the time.
But I have a few playlists for different Full Cast Audio Drama Series, lol.

Heh, I actually knocked off one album on the playlist because it was that horrid.

How about three every two months?

How about "2 or 3 every two months"? ;)

Can't argue with that. Then it can be like 1.5 every month.

I don't even know about myvideo. Blip.tv has some ads and while I think it's only fair to get some revenue, I have problems where the ads cause the main video to not work at all.

Turns out that myvideo isn't even available in english, so no surprises that you don't know about it. But I think I should try out blip.tv when I run into another "this video is blocked because we suck".

Sadly, I don't watch many video makers who use Blip these days. Since my loss of interest in TGWTG, I barely even use Blip.tv now but I should put all my videos on there.

About a year, probably. Hopefully some like Armissea are deleted to make way for you. :P

That would be swell!

Here's hoping.

Haha, so it is. For us two, we're only 23 ranks apart. Once I'm out of level 50, those inactive users will be dried up. I just wonder how close both of us will ever be in terms of EXP ranks.

Hell, there are some very active users between myself and Auz. Trust me, it's very rough up there and most of them weren't easy to beat. At least the challenge was ongoing when it lasted.

It's the same problem we had when Napster was shut down and later Audiogalaxy: There where SO many alternatives that none of those sites could ever build up such a big community as the previous two.

Work can wear me out but I'm itching to work on icons right now. :P At least I was productive yesterday with my free time which allowed me to write up the review for Drakkar's Quest for Glory. I saw this album in an independent record shop in Liverpool and hoped it would be good considering the power metal feel of the artwork. Too bad it sucked. On the bright side, I have another review already written and ready to be post later this week and I'm close to finishing off the site's very first rant article.

Ok, listening to "Coming from the past" right now. You are right about "Hit the Lights", that was my first thought as well. The part after that hommage (?) to "Hit the Lights" actually sounds good, but it is interrupted by that orchestral sound. WHY? It's so out of place that it must have ended up there by accident. Or maybe the youtube video acts weird there...
The siging is horrible. Not only does the singer have a very strange accent (ok, he's from Italy, so you cannot expect him to pronounce every word like a native speaker would) but his voice in the first verses just sounds ridiculous. But it gets even worse, the chorus is SO unbelivably bad that one might think this is just a parody band like Nanowar...

Also, when hearing "Drakkar", I think of Drakkar Entertainment, a record label that has much better bands to offer than Drakkar... (ok, maybe except for Emil Bulls)

Can't argue with that. Then it can be like 1.5 every month.

Why can't the staff just combine one thing with the other? Redesigning the page and acidentally deleting Armissea from the database?

That's true. The amount of inactive users should be higher in the range of 100-200, but the gaps are so big that it doesn't really matter in the end.

Not again! This will be the second time a redesign keeps me from obtaining a certain level. Even if I had perfect deposit attendance I would miss it by one level at least.

I had to look it up, but Mozart was born in Salzburg, which was at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire. So does that make him a holy roman?

I'm not a fan of EPs or singles. I want the REAL stuff!

There are worthwhile EPs out there that have actual songs as opposed to just alternative version crap like what Dream Theater did on the Wither EP.

We can't hope for many things. At least we are getting the redesign.

Why can't the staff just combine one thing with the other? Redesigning the page and acidentally deleting Armissea from the database?

So he gets deleted in the process. I'm good with that.

I can easily see that. Way too many competitive depositers around there. At least you have a bunch of users to pass within the 47-50 range.

That's true. The amount of inactive users should be higher in the range of 100-200, but the gaps are so big that it doesn't really matter in the end.

Trust me, those who you'll pass in that range will help a lot. Because of them, I'm in the higher part of #101-200.

What were you meant to get on the pre-2007 redesign again? I remember the level icons very well, just not what level you were on.

I guess Pico Day would be the most logical. April Fools Day would be perfect as well.

I remember YouTube changing their layout on 1st April 2010. I was like "Har har, a new layout, very funny." but days later, still no change.

Somehow, I doubt that will happen.

At least we'll stick to one layout for a few good years unlike YouTube who have an annual habit for that.

That's still hundreds - thirteen hundred deposits, nearly.

Yes, but when you say "hundreds" I think "a few hundreds". Over 1000 is far more than "a few hundreds", however.

It's not become thousands, until you've reached 2,000+ There isn't one between that that I am aware of.

Well, what about "over 1000"?

Yeah, but in the progression of "tens, dozens, scores, hundreds, over a thousand, thousands", it doesn't seem to work.

True, but still the word "hundreds" just "feels" to be way less than 1288.

Oh and now I've had a change of facial hair, so have a look, a laugh and let me know!

I don't know why, but your hairdo always reminds me of some strange guy that was awesomely well known in Germany during the 30's and 40's...

Yeah, but he was Austrian and therefore sucked.

"The Austrians succeeded in making the world think that Hitler was a german and Mozart was an austrian."

Forgot who said that, but it's oh so true.

I had to look it up, but Mozart was born in Salzburg, which was at the time part of the Holy Roman Empire. So does that make him a holy roman?

Actually that makes him a Salzburgian. ;)
See here.
He always referred to himself as being Deutsch (german) and referred to his "beloved german fatherland" in many letters.

But to be really historical correct he's neither german nor austrian. It's just that Salzburg now is part of Austria, but it wasn't back then. Or you could say he's both german AND austrian. But he's not ONLY austrian. ^^

There are some good heavy metal italian vocalists so no excuses there.

Yes, but not everybody has the same talent for languages.

But it gets even worse, the chorus is SO unbelivably bad that one might think this is just a parody band like Nanowar...

It does feel like that. They should be ashamed of themselves for this record.

They sure should be. Maybe I'll try to check out some other stuff later...

Also, when hearing "Drakkar", I think of Drakkar Entertainment, a record label that has much better bands to offer than Drakkar... (ok, maybe except for Emil Bulls)

All you need to bring up is Kreator and you get a thumbs up.

I could also bring up Haggard. :P

Would EPs do?

Yeah, I'm still more into LPs.

Would be hilarious. "The redesing is out! We just had a minor database hiccup and as a result one user's data was lost..."

I can easily see that. Way too many competitive depositers around there. At least you have a bunch of users to pass within the 47-50 range.

That's true. The amount of inactive users should be higher in the range of 100-200, but the gaps are so big that it doesn't really matter in the end.

It's still sometimes annoying to see how big the gaps are to those inactive users. I mean, I wasn't inactive for THAT long, was I? I have a deposit rate of ~60%, so that means over half of the time I have been active... and yet it still allowed the gaps between me and accounts with a sign up date not as long ago as mine to become that big... highly annoying.

Back then I was at level 14. I was hoping to get to levels 15 and 16 before the redesign but they sprang it before I could get to it. Back then I had only missed about a weeks worth of deposits so even with those points I wouldn't have gotten to level 15 (Since the bar was shifting, and I was still a good couple of deposits from level 15)

When the redesign came along they made the level 15 chain (By old levels) into the level 16 chain. However, I was skipped to level 27. WHile I am happy that it got me past a lot of the shitty lower levels, I will was pushed passed the chain. On the upside I did get the level 27 (Which were equal to the level 16) Numchucks.
