Oh yeah, this is waht I spent the last two Saturdays driving two friends to Birmingham for:

I said to Andrea "It makes me want one now."

She said "Well, if you've got the money, you can buy one of your own, but I don't think it will suit you."

"I meant someone to love me, but I'll get my chance."

Natural science, you say? Leave That Thing Alone, I say! This is a Distant Early Warning that I look for your Tears, telling you that I shall hit you so hard with more puns, that you will barely know what Seven And Seven Is! My Circumstances may have changed, but I know a good pun when I hear one and with them as my Armour And Sword, I cannot fail!

So, this game of Challenge and Defiance continues on Into The Darkness. I fear The Stars Look Down upon us mortal men with Grand Designs of mighty puns and weep at our careless ambition. For when The Battle has ended, who will remain Between Sun and Moon to bear the Scars? It has become apparent to me that this is not my Freewill, yet I fear the Lessons will be learned too late In The End...

Keep waiting :P

I will. >:(

Fair play to that but I think for a 500th episode of a TV show, they should have every right to bend the rules such as making a longer episode than usual.

Maybe if they get another 500 done.

Knutsford is a two hour trip to get there. I have the bus to get to town and then it's a train to Chester, then change to get to Knutsford. It's doable but if either of us need to get back home for the night, we'll have to make a move at around 8 in the evening.

So, I finally got around to seeing The Hobbit last night and I must say that I was impressed. I loved the riddle game scene with Gollum and that part in Rivendell with all those original actors from LOTR was awesome! The only thing I can say is I thought it was a bit on the light side at times, as far as the comic relief went in some of the more serious scenes. (like with the Goblin King, for example.)
Anyway, I can honestly say that I'm glad they broke this up into 3 movies now. :P (I can't wait to see Beorn -he should be pretty early on in the next movie...)

By the way, what was up with the crusted bird shit on Radagast's face...? 0.o

I don't know. Maybe because youtube is full of shitheads that post the same comments over and over again? A video with a female? *insert unfunny joke about a kitchen here*
A female with a nice cleavage? *Yeah, I don't listen to what she has to say, I'll just fap anyway*

It sure is but like I've said here once, at least it isn't going all the way to London or Scotland. If it was a truly long distance relationship, we would have only met once over the last two weeks. We're lucky enough to have seen each other four times over the past fortnight.

Wanting to be together all the time is to be expected, but it will tend to get a somewhat stale after a while. (Even if that may be hard to believe now.) Being apart for just long enough for you guys to really start missing each other isn't a bad thing at all, in the long run. :)

I spent an additional hour on the drive to work on Monday morning, then joined a colleague for a run at lunch. By the end of the shift (1730), I was knackered. I came home, ate, grabbed 5 minutes kip, then I was out again, for an evening of RP. That set the week up tremendously!

Busy in the real world, that's good for sure. My habits with posting on Wednesdays and Saturdays vary. Because I'll be out all day, I might be too lazy to even post at all then. Heh, no wonder my progress to 30k posts has been slower than a drone metal song.

I try to post daily, but it is becoming difficult. Having to post my lists on here at night is certainly a culture shock for me...

The Liverpool anthem? No...

I love that song, even though I dislike Liverpool FC. Being a Villa fan has nothing to do with me wanting to sing that song.

Eh, you know me with not being into football. Although, everyone in the family who watches football are LFC supporters.

So? It's a good song!

Good man! We may be occupied in the real world but we'll still find our time to deposit. :D

Out of all the ideas for bonus EXP, this is quite possibly the least horrible I've heard yet. Although this can't apply to everyone as it covers top 10,000 active users in EXP, it's still a large majority of us so everyone getting +50 EXP for doing this is pretty fair to me. However, this will completely ruin deposit rates altogether and getting an additional 50 EXP each month would put me well above 100% deposit rate within a few months time. Personally I'd like to hear feedback from EVERYONE who is an active depositer on this site. As many of us have adapted to a system for almost a decade, if not, more, this could be something the staff may implement so if you're not happy with the idea, best speaking against it now!

However, in my own opinion, this would be acceptable. It'll encourage to check out the best content from each month and give them some viewings, then make a judgment on what's the best content from each month. I for one don't mind the idea of gaining extra EXP from this and it's a lot better than the referral system, getting extra EXP via gaining certain amount of medals/medal points, giving bonus EXP to a random user each month to replace the $100 monthly draw for depositers and other bullshit that I've heard on this site in the past.

Those things tend to be really pricey and I'm already trying to get some plushies that are worth like 40.

First one (as you see on the picture) is far better, even my sister agrees.

So, that's the one she (your sister) didn't do, then? :P

Yeah, that's it.

I haven't had a relationship before. :P I can't argue to myself about how far I have to go to see her but at least I am somewhat nearby. Of course, nothing would beat being together all the time but if living arrangements are to be changed, that's a bit of a way off.

Wanting to be together all the time is to be expected, but it will tend to get a somewhat stale after a while. (Even if that may be hard to believe now.) Being apart for just long enough for you guys to really start missing each other isn't a bad thing at all, in the long run. :)

So marriage would be considered stale? :P Right now I'll admit that the days when I can see her are by far the most exciting but I feel somewhere down the road there needs to be a bigger commitment for your love partner.

6 weeks is too soon. Even a year would be kind of "too early".

I agree. I certainly won't make it any sooner than three years. My sister got engaged three years after being with her love partner and it worked out reasonably well that way.

We all can't be here forever and it already took 22 years just to get to 500 episodes.

Exactly. So, I don't think they will put out another 500 episodes.

They probably could come up with 500 more episode ideas. However, I think we can both agree that stopping at 25 seasons would be a fair idea.

Yeah, but it seems that all websites are horrible on phones.

Except for the mainstream sites like Facebook and YouTube, unless the app for your brand of phone outright sucks (e.g. Facebook's latest update for Android). I suppose if I had a faster phone, using Newgrounds would be more manageable. I think I have better performance from my 3DS.

Glamdring is awesome, too; it's on my LOTR sword wishlist. It's just the big, broad curve of Orcrist's blade that I love so much. The thing is though, if I get Orcrist, it's going to set off a chain reaction where I'll have to also get Glamdring and Sting. That way I'll have the complete set of the swords that were found in the troll's cave. That's going total at least $500. Fuck.

Out of all the ideas for bonus EXP, this is quite possibly the least horrible I've heard yet. Although this can't apply to everyone as it covers top 10,000 active users in EXP, it's still a large majority of us so everyone getting +50 EXP for doing this is pretty fair to me.

Ah, so it's the top 10,000 now. Thanks for clearing that up.

However, this will completely ruin deposit rates altogether and getting an additional 50 EXP each month would put me well above 100% deposit rate within a few months time.

Ah, but I'm giddy, thinking of what it would do for MY deposit rating! Though, if byteslinger programmed NG log to factor in an additional 50 exp per month for users with an exp. rank of 10,000 or lower you could theoretically keep
the deposit ratings intact, right? (Like, think of the bonus exp. as a single, monthly deposit that could be missed just like a normal one.)

Personally I'd like to hear feedback from EVERYONE who is an active depositer on this site. As many of us have adapted to a system for almost a decade, if not, more, this could be something the staff may implement so if you're not happy with the idea, best speaking against it now!

Honestly, I like it. Potentially having something new that's stat-oriented is quite exciting for someone as nerdy as myself! I hope it happens.

However, in my own opinion, this would be acceptable. It'll encourage to check out the best content from each month and give them some viewings, then make a judgment on what's the best content from each month.

Definitely. I just hope they do change the notification to a PM instead of that little message at the top of the page -it's kind of hard to notice...

Yeah, they're not cheap, but I kind of have a thing for swords -especially swords from movies/games that I like. I've got my eye on the Witchking's sword next, so I can have a little "good versus evil" theme going on. :P At least that one is significantly cheaper than Anduril was.

So marriage would be considered stale? :P

Marriage does become stale for a lot of people, unfortunately. I'm just saying that the dynamic of a relationship changes once some time has passed. (And that doesn't always mean it gets stale, btw)

Right now I'll admit that the days when I can see her are by far the most exciting but I feel somewhere down the road there needs to be a bigger commitment for your love partner.

And that's all you should be concerned about right now. (That, and what you're getting her for Valentine's Day!) Take things slowly, have fun and experience life together over a long period of time. If you're still serious about each other after some time, then maybe you'll have bigger things to think about. I'm sure you'll know when the time is right to get more involved -just don't do anything too crazy too fast. ;)

My advice, anyway. :P

I'm still weary about it but the system is still consistent so it does work. I wouldn't dramatically boost up my progress to level 60; I'll only take two months less. Getting 50 bonus EXP won't shoot me up there in a year's time.

Of course. Things should only be small right now but if we can plan things together to do different stuff, that's always welcome. I still have to worry about getting a full-time job so if I get somewhere with that, it will allow bigger commitments whenever I feel it's right.

Hopefully. If not, you could still calculate your own deposit rating easily enough by keeping track of how many months the extra 50 exp. has been in effect for and subtract that amount from your total exp. then calculate the percent. (That's assuming you haven't missed any of the bonus exp...)

Personally, I kind of enjoyed the somewhat lighter undertone. It suits the book a lot better too.

The riddle scene with Gollum was excellently executed in my opinion. I was a bit worried they were going to cut that scene a lot, show like two riddles and move on, but they gave it a proper amount of time.

Anyway, I can honestly say that I'm glad they broke this up into 3 movies now. :P (I can't wait to see Beorn -he should be pretty early on in the next movie...)

Indeed. Auz's idea for not putting any barriers for active depositers sounds fair but on the other hand, I can sense alt abuse with them. Heh, I could even vote in the monthly voting for each of my alts and they all get their bonus EXP but with this case it really should only be one user per vote.

Knowing the story already, I did anticipate a higher level of comic relief in this movie, when compared to LOTR. It's not entirely a bad thing, as The Hobbit is a better fit for that kind of thing, as you said. I just think there was a scene or two that NEEDED to be serious that were just made silly by being a little too lighthearted.

The riddle scene with Gollum was excellently executed in my opinion. I was a bit worried they were going to cut that scene a lot, show like two riddles and move on, but they gave it a proper amount of time.

Yeah, I was worried about that, too. I think they knew it was the part of this first movie that many people would be anticipating the most. They did it justice.

I thought the same thing before I watched it, but now that I've seen it, I have faith the next two will be just as good. At least they'll be less apt to leave out huge parts of the story, like they did with LOTR.
