So, I watched all Irate Gamer shows now (except for Irate Gamer Neo). I have to say, his reviews get a lot better later on, but the show still becomes worse with every episode. I just don't care about all those side stories (even though the alternate time lines for Mario's Time Machine / Mario is Missing where quite funny) and I find them distracting.

But, and that's the really sad part, Irate Gamer is one of the better reviewers on youtube. I've seen some VERY bad video game reviews (NC17 productions, for example). Next to them, Chris looks like a fucking genius.

No, he got credited with about a week's worth, after he got his password yeeked and lost control of it.

There's a huge difference between one person losing EXP due to being compromised and many losing a deposit due to the site downtime.

It can't hurt to ask - I missed one deposit, because the servers crashed after going live. In 2007, they relaunched at a reasonable time, so I had a chance to deposit before bed. They were launching at half 1, 2am over here. Now I'm not complaining, I'm just stating my case. I tried to vote, but was prevented from doing so.

Then what do you have in mind?

I got to admit, it was pretty awesome, I'm glad Spoony liked the one part I liked when I played the game (yep, I played from start to finish, what was I thinking), but yeah, the song, I think it is the best best about FF X-2. But that doesn't beat the review ending, I was in stitches on how silly it was.

I did like Sephiroth's appearance as well as Spoony being given FFXIII. I guess when he gets through that game Lightning will show up? He'll need to take a different turn to feel fresh. Speaking of FFXIII, I'm actually thinking of going back to it. Turns out I wasn't so far from beating the main story so if I do that, at least I'll be prepared for Spoony's review. As for how much he bashes it, eh, go right ahead. I've already seen a lot of faults but did manage to get to Gran Pulse.

I'm trying to reach 18k blams for what feels like YEARS now (in reality, it propably is only a few months), so the sudden increase in blams sure feels good. And it proves once more that I should make good use of the 0 button in the future if I think a submission sucks.

Yes, the first three movies are great (maybe he could edit out all those stupid transitions, though?), but keep in mind that he only directed the first one. Empire strikes back was directed by Irvin Kershner, Return of the Jedi by Richard Marquand. Lucas was only the executive producer (plus writer on the third one). So I really don't get why many people claim that Lucas is the best director of all time...

I'm really not happy if all people who couldn't deposit on the redesign day would get their Exp back. I set my alarm clock for 5:45 in the morning (around 11:45 pm EST) just to get my deposits in.

I actually find him to be the least distracting with them. Sure, he does have a lot of it but he still gets to the point with reviewing and with the exception of an episode or two, it's still mostly the review that gets covered.

The best thing about it was that Sam Raimi and his brother attached a camera to a plank and ran through the trees, to simulate the deadites running after the gang - it's a chilling effect.

I guess that might be one of the reasons why they describe him as a "Highly inventive U.S. film director" on IMDB.

Actually, the way I picked it up only covers games and movies. Later on the week I will give you an extended list of reviewers.

I've checked reverends Art Reviewers list and Haggards Audio Reviewers list already. In the Art Reviewers there aren't that many who are near entering. Most of the users there only bother themselves with the Art Portal and only have a few hundred Art Reviews anyway.

The Audio Reviewers department looks a lot more promising, but again, there are a lot of people there who stick to the Audio Portal and aren't active elsewhere on the site.

So that makes things easier.

I think I got most of the high potential new users covered though, but maybe you can spot a few obscure ones who aren't close to any list but still have a lot of reviews (like me).

I'm pretty sure I will find them.

Good. Saves me a lot of time and effort randomly going through profiles.

It seems very much like Mario 64 to me, but with more straightforward gameplay.

I'd say it's a Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros. crossover. It's a good game and is more memorable than New SMB.

New SMB seemed a little bit overhyped to me. I'm sure it's a fun game to play with friends and all, but it doesn't seem that great when playing on your own. I'm sure I'd feel the same about it as I do about Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers.

I'm hoping later today, but can't offer guarantees. If the Blammers reappears, we're looking good!

Lol. I just watched the trailer and even for an 80's film it looks kind of old and cheap. It looks more like a 60's film in fact.

The best thing about it was that Sam Raimi and his brother attached a camera to a plank and ran through the trees, to simulate the deadites running after the gang - it's a chilling effect.

I guess that might be one of the reasons why they describe him as a "Highly inventive U.S. film director" on IMDB.

If he were Jewish, they would just call him a schmuck.

Okay Blanky :p

I wonder what colour it will be then by the way. I guess yellow would look too much like our gold. Maybe they can go with orange?

It'll be aqua blue or turquoise - the same colour as the writing forum on the BBS.

I guess that'll do, although we have a blue aura already. They could've brought back grey...

But grey is blank slate, surely.

That is true but think how much faster a game of Risk would be. Two people who know what they are doing can really drag a game on.

Two people who know what they're doing can also make the stupid mistake of assuming that their opponent doesn't know what they are doing and end the game quickly. True story.

Thanks I am just glad Mountian Dew Supernova came back. Oh sweet merciful all thing bright and beautiful.

If the votes are individually recorded and saved it wouldn't take that that much to alter the scores to reflect the b/p bonus, since most UJ content is voted on by users with a b&p bonus. LOL it doesn't matter. All that matters is the experience deposit conformation. I look at my stats then vote on 5 submissions F5 just to see if I got +10.

What if the VP change would have made the difference between a blam and a save? No, it's too complicated.

Perhaps it would it would be rare I assume. Doesn't matter now I missed a depositing last Friday night. But damn whens the b/p vp bonus coming back online.

Oh shit, I still have Bioshock 2 to play. I'll see how I am after Rayman Origins and The Simpsons Arcade.

ah frick. I thought about getting The Simpsons Arcade but I wouldn't get around to play it never finished the ps3 one. I must get ready for GTA V. and maybe Starhawk plus many more.

I love this idea a lot. I like your thinking with the idea of having one deposit away from level 60 and permanently staying there.

Its like the 30K mark for b/p each point afterwards is just to get a higher user rank. Plus the voting power will be at 9.99 I don't know the calculation anymore, plus its with an alt so it won't matter if other fellas start passing it. Plus the Electrified vintage level 30 spearhead is better than the armored beast.

Actually, I think by then it will show 10.00 due to the rounding up of the number.

You are right. Wel I am still going for the 10 less than 60 milestone. Then for the next alt one level less and so on. Then once I create 60 alts I will have 60 different leveled alts. me gusta

It has finally arrived I have reached the 10 year anniversary.

Congrats man!

Le Thanks. I will be there for yours giving free handies and blowjays to all with a raging stiffie.

I think it might be Hope, he goes for main characters sure, I don't really think Lightning is the main character really, it is a mix bag for FF XIII, I can't bring myself to play it anymore though, with much better games out and backlogged, I have a whole list I need to play before ever looking at FF XIII again.

Yeah, it's like FFVI where all characters have equal focus and you can have any character in your team. I'll give the game credit on that. Infact, I also like the fact that all the characters earn points, even if they're not in your team at the moment. While this might look lazy, it at least helps to keep everyone in check as opposed to having one weak character getting slaughtered. Unfortunate for me, I still have Hope in my team prior to stopping but he's actually really good in combat.

Yes, but last redesign, I gained a deposit on Pimp. Why not try for it?

Well, request if you want but don't be surprised if it's not taken.

Sure, what else would it be?

Oh, right.

Sorry, it might by cyclical and be back to cheek. Hell, you might even get the face this time :P

All sound good to me.

I see. The turkish Pentagram are good as well, at least the few songs I have heard from them.

Thrash/power metal band? Hopefully they're worthy for both subgenres.

It's not odd, it's just how the new site goes and the fact that the software needs updating. At least the stat pulling program hardly needed changing.

It wouldn't be odd if Portal Guard stopped working on the day of the redesign, but it stopped working a few weeks before it.

Ohhh, now that's a different story. Yes, I can see that now.

I was willing to stay up as long as possible just to get the EXP but it got back at 9:30PM EST so it was all good with me.

I misssed the short time when it was back that evening. And when it was midnight here I figured I just get some sleep now and try it when it is a few minutes before midnight where NG is located.

So did you get the deposit that day?

I've checked reverends Art Reviewers list and Haggards Audio Reviewers list already. In the Art Reviewers there aren't that many who are near entering. Most of the users there only bother themselves with the Art Portal and only have a few hundred Art Reviews anyway.

I imagine art reviews to be small but audio reviews should give you a nice boost.

I'd say it's a Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros. crossover. It's a good game and is more memorable than New SMB.

New SMB seemed a little bit overhyped to me. I'm sure it's a fun game to play with friends and all, but it doesn't seem that great when playing on your own. I'm sure I'd feel the same about it as I do about Mario Kart and Super Smash Brothers.

I tried NSMB Wii with friends. It only ended in chaos. :P

Would be over 3,000 Medals too, if the 0 point medals were still counted. But not too many to get back thankfully.

I actually like the fact that 0 point medals aren't counted now. Now they'll feel more genuine instead of getting hundreds of 0 point medals from spam submissions. The Hexalist update will be up later today so I'll need to see where Nijsse lands with his amount of medals. Then I'll find out if byteslinger made any changes to the medal stats.

Oh yes, you can't forget your GTA. I sadly never picked up GTAIV and wanted to go through San Andreas first but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Well, it will feel that you've been trying to reach 18k for a while now, but once you get there, it'll be a nice achievement and you can move on to 19k. After that, you gain a lot of places on the top 150 Blammers!

I'm just waiting that all those dress up games will get cleaned out. That should give me enough points to reach 18k easily. ^^

Yeah, but I'm not sure that will happen. If flash mods are given a list of things to look at, it's new stuff coming in, not stuff that has already passed judgement, surely.

Then we have to fight the system! *gets out a "STOP DRESS UP GAMES" banner*

Hm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_Ii_Ewztxs
After listening to this song, I wouldn't have guessed they are either thrash or power metal.

Yes. That's why I don't like that people are given their Exp "for free". It's my only chance to catch up to people like Coop, heh.

I'm not sure it's a real life achievement - more of a poisoned chalice.

I was coerced into accepting the secretaryship of the cricket club, because the Saturday 2nd XI captain was in danger of "burn out" for running that team and being secretary. I was also continuing my role as Sunday XI vice captain, from last season and would be vice captain for the reformed Wednesday 2nd XI.

Now that our captain of the Sunday side has taken up the captaincy for Wednesdays, he has resigned the Sunday job. I think he'll still pay for us on Sundays, but we need to sort that out, when pre-season training starts in March.

Sounds manic, could you see if someone else wants to take on the secretaryship now that you're having to captain? How else are you going to find the time for B/Ping?

Oh and on the 29th, I begin a 6 week course to train me up as an official scorer. If I succeed at Level 1, I could enroll on further courses for Level 2 and 3, which could get me trained to a high enough standard for Test Matches.

2012 is going to be hectic for me.

That sounds like it could be interesting. I didn't realise there was so much training required to be a scorer.

Oh, and today I went over 4,000 Experience points
