Level 22!

You passed 59000 B/P! Congrats!

30,000 B/P Points / 206th Sup. Commander.

I didn't really ever want to get to Sup. Commander. I liked getting a new badge on my user page every few weeks/months, and I don't have any thing to go for other than total rank and total B/P points, which I don't really care much about. Oh well, maybe I'll make a new account and B/P on it instead.

And a bit of messing around later, I now have 40,000 Medal Points

Coop gets ready to celebrate that fact that his mum is in fact his mum. Congratulations to:
Gimmick: 8,888 Posts; Level 22
wojesse: 60,000 Medal Points
DoctorStrongbad: 59,000 B/P
Jolly: 30,000 B/P; Supreme Commander

Because when you're in a music shop, you can see the merchandise arranged and online, you have to know what you're looking for?

I shouldn't have let Burrito Bison Revenge get the better of me, but it's one of those adicitive games.

Always good to have flash game addiction. Although, personally I seek more for smaller and laid back games.

Well, yesterday, aside from watching 6 hours of Rugby and about an hour of F1, I still managed to get 3-4 hours of Borderlands in with Idocreating.

Who cares about the expense?

In this financial climate, I really do.

But this is the internet, let NG use whatever they want and go for Wolverine. Along with that, I propose a golden dragon.

Overruled.

I actually memorised some alt codes in my head.

I've never known how that stuff works, so never try.

I just search online for the commonly used ones for myself so Motorhead and Queensryche's umlauts. And this line is umlautless due to bad compatibility with the site right now.

We just have to put up with it. Why not harass Tom? I'm sure that he'd love it :P

I know how you feel. I came here because of some video game parodies and wanted to make some of my own but I was never successful with my works. At least I had my fun back in the day and I'm happy enough knowing I had a slightly different idea of what to make for my flash movies than everyone else.

I suppose you're right on the music shop part. I saw that one Marillion CD on sale and thought I should grab it. There were two other Marillion albums but they were live and compilation albums. That's the kind of stuff I avoid, unless I'm really into the band or if the compilation album serves a lot more than their greatest hits.

I much rather have a manual in my hands comparing to reading it on a computer screen. I can understand that companies want to cut costs... but on the other hands, are CD Roms really that much cheaper?

Actually, that I would like as well but they think it wouldn't be cost efficient.

Yes, it propably is a lot more eco-friendly to put the stuff on a CD. After all, you'll need a CD anyway to install the program.

How are they now in their modern times? I wouldn't imagine them to be so relevant with writing music nowadays.

It was very 70's rock like, with long guitar soli and stuff. I liked it.

So that's them now? Doesn't sound that bad to me.

I should probably check out some newer stuff.

I did see the starting line when we where transfered to our hotel, the driver pointed it out. If I don't forget, I most likely will watch at least some parts of the F1 grand prix in September.
