Yesterday's display was just abject, (and today's hasn't been any better). I'm all for maintaining consistency in a side, but when the batting has been consistently bad, they've got to try something new. The question is who to drop...

I wouldn't be happy as well, controllers these days are so expensive. You would have to get the first party controllers as well, no matter what because third party (even though cheaper) are crap.

Yeah, I was shocked at how much it was. I'd assumed it was going to be around the £25-30 mark but it was closer to £50. But as you say, there's really no other option because if yu end up getting a 3rd party controller, you'll just end up having to replace it after three months because it's shoddily made.

The only time I leave parts of my face unshaven, I'm trying to grow some form of facial hair. I'm shaving everything, except sideburns just below the bottom of my earlobes now.

120 behind, with Pakistan only 2 down. Mind you, we have plenty of time. Personally, I'd consider dropping Morgan and possibly Bell. The question is, whom do we drop them for?

I can defend that. Raiden, forced dialogue, FUCKING ROSEMARY and horribly longwinded scenes at the end. I know MGS is full of that but it was most unnecessary for MGS2's last part. However, this game has AI Colonel so I approve.

Turns out there's no information available about his mother. All I found is a little yellow girl dragon named "Kessie". She can't talk, but instead whistles or makes melodic noises. Also she's from the planet of Draconia, where the dragons originate from.

The picture below is the only image I could find.

So, do it. If I manage to play through Super Mario Bros. on an NES Emulator with a keyboard, then you can play Commander Keen on DOSBox with a keyboard. :P
This reminds me, back in the day, when we played Commander Keen, we also only used the keyboard. We also played some strange jump and run called "Teddy", where the main character was a teddy bear.... lol?

It hasn't snowed here in a while, but the snow that fell about a week ago still hasn't melted away. Not too surprising since the highest temperature was about -4°C for the whole week.

Only 2 1/2 hours left until the site goes down. I should do something productive in the meantime like writing a review. I didn't bother that yesterday to make way for playing Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath on PS3 which is a great game. Plenty of difficult bosses to keep me on my toes throughout.

I know It's been a while since I posted here but, Hey! I loved the new website's design and the look of the BBS! Usually sites that do several changes aren't that great or just completely awful, but Newgrounds' new look is very cool.
I guess we should congrat to the admins this time, for such an awesome work and dedication!

Congrats! :)

Somehow during the update I leveled up once and gained the Deity Whistle I've been chasing for the past several years! Wahoooooooooooo!

Everything is new and shiny. I don't know what to make of the new levels especially my current one. I guess I have a killer starfish and I'm not looking forward to the next one.

no way to turn that annoying sound off that it makes when you visit a submission and you don't have autoplay on?

I got a book. Yay!

Maybe it's a tome...

In any case, I will really have to get used to the new level icons. Some look good to me, but some really stupid in all honesty (a shark with a laser attached to its head? Seriously?). I guess they have a less central place on the forums and on our profiles now.

I like most of the other stuff I've seen so far from the redesign though.

But anyway, hi guys! I tried to post last night, but I failed due to the high amount of traffic.
