Well done. Good job. That's nice.

But your Blams 17,943. That's nicer. 12 to 18 months of decent Blamming could get you to the 20,000 mark.

You passed 14,000 Experience Points. Good job!

Just poking my head around the door to say "howdy y'all" and that I've not gone off the grid, I've just been a bit busy with social life and cricket.

Pulled, took a girl to see The Avengers, had a great time and now I'm off the market again!

As for the cricket, both the 1st and 2nd teams won, so we're top of the leagues still!

Life is good.

level 54

kind of reminds me of that cop show; "Car 54"

20,000 Medal points. It's not many, but still took a good while to get here.

I already had a list of drake cards from the Gatherer site. Infact, I have a spreadsheet listing all the dragons and drakes and so far, I have four cards.

Many. Thankfully the game shop in Liverpool had a fair amount of singles and the store owner intends to go through all the Magic single cards eventually so he'll take out the dragons and drakes for me.

Request maybe? Would be a first for someone to ask to go down to a certain level. My only problem is that years on when the staff feel the site needs a revamp, what will they do with the level icons? Chances are they'll just change it again which is why at this point I feel it's not really worth putting so much effort into retiring the alts at certain levels, even though I still continue to deposit them...

I got good stuff on Friday but then a batch of CDs I ordered from eBay arrived here while I was away. Got like 15 albums on the playlist to go through several times.

The feathers were a pain but after that, that achievement is easy to do. If you ask me, the feather trophy should have been a silver reward. The only way to compensate the bronze trophy is that ACII is probably one of the easier games to get platinum trophy for. I'd say Skyrim would be up there as well but I've experienced some of the trophies to be bugged out. I'll save my energy for when they release the DLC.

Well, I've completed Sequence 12 this morning and now sequence 13 (Bonfire of the Vanities) is currently downloading.

Those are great to go through for sure. Thankfully I was able to play some Just Cause 2 down there. It was a matter of transferring the save file to a USB drive and then upload it on the PS3 down there. It worked well.

Assassin's Creed 2 DLC, or something else?

ACII.

I agree because instead of the great sword we had, we now just have some starfish. I know its origins but it still doesn't change the fact that it sucks in comparison to the level 42 sword.

That and Brutal Planet do have some strong industrial vibes to them. I suppose seeing as they were made at least a decade after Trash, Alice will have changed his style around then. Maybe not the best albums to pick up but I'm just happy I'm progressing with picking up his albums.

Derek Jeter doesn't place such stock on his own personal achievements, because baseball is a team game. Newgrounds is an individual effort, when it comes to stats. Maybe that explains why some of us are being cunts about it.

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...
