It's quite clear that he's not caring, I'm just disturbed that someone thought bird feces would be a good idea for Radagast's character design.

Sorry, it's in german, so I guess you won't understand much. I can't find any other languages, not even french... But be sure to listen to the theme music at the end of the video!

Don't worry, French wouldn't be any easier for me to understand. I understood the "happy birthday" song, though! lol

Oh, btw: That little kid that speaks the voice of Grisu is still in the business. He's a very well known dubbing actor. :)

Grisu is adorable!

Yes, that's my main beef; when they were captured by the Goblins. I actually didn't mind the comedic nature of the Goblin King, with his grotesquely sagging jowls. It was the general sillyness of their escape, culminating with the Goblin King saying: "That'll do!" in response to Gandalf slashing his gut. HIS STINKING, STEAMING GUTS SHOULD HAVE SPILLED ALL OVER THE FLOOR, DAMMIT!! (ok, maybe that's a little much) That was just a wtf moment for me, anyway. :P

Well the additions they made to the original story were pretty good scenes at least. Like all the extra stuff with Radagast and the scene at Rivendell with Saruman. I'm curious about how they're going to work out the side plot with the Necromancer.

Should be interesting. I also like how they left us hanging with Smaug's appearance. Hopefully we'll get to see him in his entirety in the next movie. :P

Now that I take a good look at it again, it does look more like bird shit :p

All matted in his beard and shit. Eww.

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. Having alts is one thing, having them to participate in monthly voting is not cool. I'll say right now that I will definitely not make any of my alts get extra EXP from this.

I hadn't considered alts... Couldn't they make it so each IP address can only vote once, like with the Flash Portal? (That would really suck if two people in the same house had NG accounts, though.

That was further discussed in the news thread. Making it exclusive for supports could help that but there are consequences...

It can be difficult if one doesn't log in NG stats for 6 days and gets +60 EXP as a result making the system think they got the extra EXP from the monthly voting. I suppose you can track the deposit rate on your own but that's all going to be manual.

Honestly, I'm weary of looking at my deposit rating anyway. :P

I'll shut up about my deposit rating.

When you look at it that way, it doesn't sound that bad. Maybe they can compensate the challenge of the level system by adding ten more. It'll set the bar higher for the top users again but at the same time making progress a bit faster.

Adding 10 more levels at the highest tier would outweigh the 50 extra exp a month, I think. At this rate I'll be on my fucking deathbed by the time I reach the final level. LOL

Making it exclusive to supporters would make it pretty cut-and-dry... It just doesn't sit right with me, having a (pretty important) feature of this site being available to "supporters only." Newgrounds has never been like that and I don't think it needs to start now -and that's coming from a supporter. (I know other users have said as much already.)

Anyway, if it comes down between supporters only and no exp bonus, I'd rather do away with the extra exp, honestly.

So I did some voluntary work at a local indie game shop today. My main job was meant to attend the Facebook page for the store for any incoming messages/comments about any queries but I ended up sorted out all the shelves for the shop. Well, almost all of them anyway. Made the place look a whole lot neater and the store owner was really pleased with the work that I did.

Yes. We wheren't that far away leveling wise from each other anyway. Everytime you leveled up, I knew that I was a few weeks away from leveling up as well. But now, we almost level up on the same day.

They had to. It's one of the key scenes in the book. Without the ring, the whole story wouldn't work out. So there's really no reason at all to cut down the riddle scene.

Also, I think they were trying to make some clear connections with the Lord of the Rings films, just for the crowd that never read the book.

I read a comment the other day. Somebody watched the movie and one guy in the theatre asked. "Huh? Why does he have the ring all of a sudden? I thought it was destroyed?" Oh. My. God.

But yes, it was very well executed. I liked how Bilbo really was fiddling around in his pocket before asking: "What do I have in my pocket?", just like it was described in the book. And how he slowly realizes that he is invisible while wearing the ring.

I always imagined that part to be a bit silly. Like, how would Gollum even consider that to be a proper riddle? However, they made it fairly believable in the film.

Heh, he doesn't consider it to be a proper riddle, that's the whole point. ^^

As much as I enjoyed it, I still don't think three films was really necessary. Two, maybe, but three feels a bit like milking considering the book is only what.. 300 pages thick?

That's my main criticism as well. LortR had to be done in three movies. It's three books, after all. It just wouldn't work in one or tow movies. But "The Hobbit"? I don't know...

They even cut a lot of parts of the LotR just to keep it all within 3 hour portions.

Yes, that's why you just have to get the extended versions. It's really worth it!

But oh well. It seems to be hip nowadays to split books in as many films as they think they can get away with.

At least the movies aren't as shitty as Episode I - III. I watched Episode I in the movies, the other two, I only watched parts of III, when it was on the TV. And I really can't bring myself to watch Episode II...
It's like "What was he thinking?!"

But if life gets too busy to have any time for the BBS, that also happens.

I think putting together a list of instructions while making the update would be the most thorough way of doing it. I'm going to need a walkthrough on the whole process anyway; expect a few questions from me along the way, too. ;)

Yeah, doing it the first time can be tough. I was like that as well when I took over from gfox. Hell, I didn't have my own instruction manual to do it all; I mostly had to work it all out myself. As for my PM inbox, you take up quite a fair amount of space on page 1 but then again, I keep deleting one kid's PMs I get. I don't even read what he says; just delete immediately so thankfully my inbox isn't clogged up with his crap.

Congratulations To

Oops, looks like I counted a song in that last one I did that I had used before. (Mission) So, that's 49 songs then.

That sounds like a pretty cool place to work. I would definitely ask to do more volunteer work there in the future; try and make yourself a shoe in for that future job opening. ;)

I'm glad we all discussed about it. More and more the doubtful comments showed up and I wanted to reach out to them.

Do you know if this is happening, or is it still just in the "idea" stage? All I know is that Tom seemed pretty fond of the idea when it was first mentioned. My excitement has for some reason turned to indifference these last few days.

Yes!

Not sure I could pull that off as well as you, though. :P

So yeah, maybe Radagast is just so much into nature that he doesn't care.

Yeah, he's like nature in human form... That almost makes the bird shit acceptable. Almost.

I doubt we'll see him again in the next two movies.

Yeah, but it's a french cartoon, so there have to be some french videos out there. I really would like to hear the original voices.

Why are the originals so hard to find? I think Grisu's voice sounds fine in the German version, anyway.

Yes, his german voice is awesome. As I've said, the guy who did the voice is a well known voice actor now, he dubs Ben Stiller, for example. Even the english wikipedia has an article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oliver_Rohrbeck

I see, you understand. Bahamut on the other hand... :P

Maybe he doesn't like cute dragons?

He has to accept it some day.

That said, the icon kinda sucks. Too goofy for my liking for the high tier level icons.

I like it. But it isn't that important anymore, since the level icons are so small...

And most Britcoms only had 2-3 seasons.

I'm sure I don't even know half of the stuff.

I still have a lot to catch up on.

Well, I just finished the 6th season of The X-Files, so only 3 more to go. Maybe I will also get the two movies on DVD. If only I could get my hands on the spin off "The Lone Gunmen". Critics praised that spin off, but it only had like one season.

I'm sure he has the more pure dragon side to him as well.

Nope. He's constantly looking for a way to "put out his inner fire".

Laaaaaaaaaaame.

Cuuuuuuuute!

Driven had not been used yet. Though I suppose I won, if repeating a song is grounds for forfeit. (For What It's Worth, Lessons, Limelight and Circumstances were all used before.) I don't really care about that, though.

Fuck.

Here's the list of songs each of us has used so far.

76 total songs used

Oh, and my pun for the day:

Wow, that could leave the contest in Limbo. For What It's Worth, I'm carrying on, in case we aren't playing that rule!

I want you to know that you can Take A Friend in me, but that doesn't change that fact that it's still my Mission to keep pouring on Rush puns Hand Over Fist. Can't you see the High Water rising? I hope you're still In The Mood, because I'm beginning to sense that the Epilogue isn't too far off now...

Well, with that Discovery, I really should Carve Away The Stone and climb into my hole. Would you care to sing the Soliloquy?

I see. Clearly, I had forgotten that sort of 70 per day pace that you were knocking out at will...

I had started working by then. My pace from May to around the end of July 2008 was scratching 100/day. Impossible to manage these days, though I would be if the Portal would allow it.

A massive if, I'm afraid.

It happens. So long as we make amends, all shall be forgiven.

But if life gets too busy to have any time for the BBS, that also happens. Right now I still have spare time but when I get my girlfriend wanting to see me the following day, then I've got even less free time. At this time we cannot go all the way to see each other as travel expenses will completely demolish our money.

Been there, done that - travelling to see my girlfriend when we were both up north at Uni. Sure, it wasn't far, but sometimes, we were taking two, three or even four evenings a week on trains between Manchester and Leeds. when neither of us had a job, that eroded a lot of our money. But damn, it was fun!

I've said to her that if she needs me in for additional days, she can go right ahead and ask me. She has my contact on Facebook so it's a matter of messaging me on there.

Yeah, it's hard to bring myself as much excitement as I did for the 2007 levels whenever I level up. I guess reaching level 60 will have a "meh" effect to it.

I still have a lot to catch up on.

Well, I just finished the 6th season of The X-Files, so only 3 more to go. Maybe I will also get the two movies on DVD. If only I could get my hands on the spin off "The Lone Gunmen". Critics praised that spin off, but it only had like one season.

I'm slowly but surely going through season two of Batman: The Animated Series.

Manchester is a place that's reachable for both of us. Ticket will be something like 11 something for return so I could possibly do that sometime.

I've been talking about meeting an old flame in Leicester, but it would be just that - casual, nothing serious and perhaps a chance to catch up on old times. God, I sound like I'm going through a midlife crisis...
