So to my understanding there are only just over 200 Supreme Commanders on the site, it's a very exclusive group, so to get two new Supreme Commanders in the space of a day or two must be pretty special right?

Last night I dinged 21000 total B/P. Getting really close to top 300.

Coop really needs to get a good night's sleep. Congratulkations to:

Fair enough - I thought that Eyes was more Goth than Planet, but I'll let you judge them both for their own merits and flaws.

So that's the following Alice Cooper album. Hmm, I should focus more on pre-90s albums. Most of the albums from the later era should be leftovers, although I do hear good things about Along Came a Spider.

The Last Temptation
Brutal Planet
Dragontown
Eyes of Alice Cooper
Dirty Diamonds
Along Came a Spider
Welcome 2 My Nightmare

That's the latest few studio albums that Alice has done, off the top of my head.

So Killer is a good one to go with next?

Sure - Anything that's not from the late 70s and early 80s is what you want to aim for. Those weren't his best recording years.

Well, there's still plenty of albums to get even when you leave out a few.

Indeed - you can get a whole lot of Alice albums and you'll end up with hundreds of original tracks.

At least you can head down the pet shop and buy a new mouse. It wasn't like I could walk to the internet shop and buy a new internet.

Back with you guys now, but managing to check the portal from my phone yielded a few B/P. Being on an HTC, I can also get flash to work, so that helps :P

Suck it, Zombie Steve Jobs!

<Start Rant> I'm more than a little disappointed right now. I was having a good race to 50,000 B/P with JustCruizin88 and on the pace we were both moving along at (fair at the time) I would have pipped him to the post by under a handful of votes. I've been checking our stats daily to keep the race to 50,000 B/P interesting. But it's hard to not be disappointed when you compare both of our last 100 B/P attained. JustCruizin88 with an appalling 98 saves and 2 blams. That's a 49 to 1 ratio. Compared to Me 73 saves and 27 blams. That's a 2.7 to 1 ratio. Seems another user has no scruples and apparently a problem with pressing his 0 and 1 buttons. So much for keeping it real and having a decent fair competition. The sooner the Whistle System is re-implemented the better. <End Rant>

Most excellent! I was wondering when you would finally reach Supreme Commander. Good to see you here, even if it took you almost eight years to get there.

Meh; in 2004 I guess. I watched people make it in 8 months and then others not make it at all. There was a great deal of bullshit entering the portal for a long while and I rather hated it so I lost interest. Lately I have enjoyed watching all the stuff come in. And the fanboys of Bitey have let up with their downvoting of good stuff to keep Adam Phillips on top. All things right themselves eventually.
I had hoped for a better vote power tho. Currently its only 14.58 votes. I hoped it would go at least to 15. Perhaps with the next level :-)

I need someone to deposit my experiencie points for a while.

I'm going to be away for a while, and I need someone (well known, if possible) to take care of my account's exp for a few days, if interested please send me a PM.

Thanks.

I decided to trade in my broken bottle for a barbed boxing glove.

It's been a long time coming but I finally have 50,000 B/P points and just to sweeten the pot 3,333 posts.

Happy Days.

70,000 saves.

So close..

Level up... :3

Due to slower activity of the portal, it's not as easy to see more users reaching Supreme Commander in a single week. Clock Day from years back saw tons of rank ups in a single week but all we see is just additional activity and nothing else. What happened here, you may ask? I blame YouTube.

Thankfully the proxy was working on the forums so I went ahead with that. Everything should be all good now but if I see a similar bullshit issue like this again from them, I will look into switching over.

That's the latest few studio albums that Alice has done, off the top of my head.

I'd probably consider getting Along Came a Spider out of all of them. Should be more older material for now.

That's a huge if. While it would be nice to see users getting penalised for dishonest voting, it's very rare that it's happened all this time. Apart from bots and the odd user who was abusing the voting power, very little have been punished. I don't know about any events prior to myself signing up so others will have to fill that in for you.

Maybe they're better over here. Also, it's been a decade since I last went on their airlines and that was for Florida. I will say that the trains are efficient for getting to London from Liverpool within two hours.

I had hoped for a better vote power tho. Currently its only 14.58 votes. I hoped it would go at least to 15. Perhaps with the next level :-)

15 VP isn't reachable until the end of level 53/start of level 54 and then after that it's looking forward to the big level 60 for 16 VP. I'll see 15 VP next April and I only have around 1,050 days until level 60. I don't have so much time with levelling up now.

Careful with what you wish for, I guess.

You just might get it, exactly.

I suppose there's that point there but I'm not going to rush to get another web browser just for that.

I only do that when I'm on my netbook. The screen isn't that big anyway, and it's easy to open up a terminal and start the browser from there.

Eh, I suppose for netbooks it would help not seeing huge ass layouts like Newgrounds.

I blocked the background picture anyway. I mean, it's nice and all, but I rather not look at it the whole time I visit newgrounds.

They better get the fanciest cameras just to shoot footage of me flying around.

They should film that in 4K.

4K? Explain more.

4K resolution. In short: It's a resolution that is used for newer movies (especially computer generated movies, I think). But I think not many cinemas support this standard. And I read that you can't see any difference to the old 2K resolution on a huge cinema screen anyway.

10 Pound is quite a lot. But I think the time traveling wouldn't be that much longer than what I used to travel to gaming shops (about 1 hour and a few minutes to get there). But I only payed about 5 Euros back then for a day ticket. Good god, now a day ticket costs about 10 Euros...

From Liverpool to Manchester is just an hour and to go from Wirral to Liverpool is even further travelling time. Far too much to go to one place on a regular basis.

Well, sometimes I need an hour and a half to get from here to University (it's scattered all across town. Some departments are not located at the main campus). But I only need this long if I miss every connection while changing lines, which luckily doesn't happen that often.

I've just collected my 3,000th medal.

Also I've just realised that last week was my 6th year anniversary on NG. Feels weird.

I finally reached level 49. I will have to test out my new weapon.

I'm now halfway down what will (hopefully) become my third 10k stat: saves.

And that while I only have 800 blams. That's a ratio of 1:6 :(

Ok sorry, lets try again *new picture*... also, its not a 3d render... its an illustration, just to clarify.

I would say whoa to this but somehow, I knew the agency I applied to a few weeks back would actually get back to me this week and they did so this morning. They actually wanted me to start working today but the only problem was that I needed to inform the Job Centre to sign off before I start any work. Still, it'll be six days of work and will at least freshen up my working history a bit.

Also, the sooner this hot weather is gone the better.

I often find it distracting. But I guess I'm very easily distracted while I'm browsing a site. Which is strange, because usually I don't have any problems concentrating on the important stuff. I can work quite well, even if everyone around me is loud.

Well, there was a degree of arsing around in the Cooper household last night - moved the computer and the furniture on the dining room and lost the signal from the router. Rather than conclude that we can't put the computer where we want to, we moved the router. Cue one new 5m ethernet cable and a bit of faff, to move the computer in the study (the one I play LOTRO on) and now the router is hung on the wall in the hall, transmitting to all parts of the house.
