My days as Sony "fanboy" are long gone. I consider myself a "multi-consolero", I own PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, PSVita (lol, sonyfanboy), GameBoy, GameBoy Color, NES, SNES and my wife owns a Wii U and a 3DS. ^^

I'm not really a Sony fanboy, per se. I just hate Xbox, for my own reasons; I personally think Microsoft rules the computer world enough that they don't need to intrude on the gaming world. Playstation and Nintendo were doin just fine and along comes Microsoft and Xbox and ruins everything. That's the only reason I hope PS4 wins the "console wars" this year.

End Rant

I used to have all those systems except for the Vita and I found out they all rock in their own respective categories. My favorite will always be NES (because that was my first system) even though having to blow in those cartridges was always annoying.

Well, if the older regs aren't doing as much. Figure I may as well come in and help do lists. I've been wanting to do this for like forever.

Good to hear; I've been the only one making lists since Coop quit, so its nice to finally have some company. :D

Bah Humbug for me, thank you. Happy holidays, Coop.

Chocolate

Furry Aston Villa dice
A pocket torch for work
A litre stein and a litre of Bavaria Dutch lager, which tasted like wee.

I am feeling the love today :)

Lol!

It's not a very popular brand here either.

The stein's missing because you where holding it in your hand while you took the picture, am I right? :P

Wow, sure is! Also, wow, not seen you in forever! Times sure have changed.

Yeah the forums just lost interest for me as so many new faces came and the style of posters. I was also like 15 in my prime so that's why it was more entertaining. There's still something in the back of my mind that bothers me that I've missed like 200 deposits since drifting away (I mean come on I did this shit for 10 years!).

It's time to get back to it!

and thanks Haggard

There's 40+ level 60s? My goodness! Kind of takes the glory away. I preferred when there could only be one level 30 and the old way the system worked with level gaps increasing with Pimp's deposits. Add some more levels Tommy, sheesh.

Um... I tend to drink spirits, so having a stein filled with Southern Comfort or Single Malt (also not pictured) would probably mean it needs to be passed around, else it becomes lethal...

If you could keep it cool, it could also be a months supply of spirits. ;)

Don't know if this scientific breakthrough has reached the continent yet, but we already have a container that allows you to keep your booze away from the elements. We call them bottles and us Brits are so ingenious that we also see the booze in them ;)

Thus I'm back to square 1, a useless present

Wait! What is this? WITCHCRAFT? You shall burn in hell!

Wouldn't you think that drinking from a stein is more convenient than drinking from a bottle? Especially if the bottle wasn't even designed to drink from (compare beer bottles and a bottle of Southern Comfort. It's easier to drink from a beer bottle ;) ).
Also, it's so damn hard to get the ice cubes into the bottle. :(

Randomly decided to log into today after a long hiatus, and things look just the same here as ever. Got a few anniversaries to celebrate by now. My username was michelinman for most of my time here. Sup coop? Avs don't suck anymore!

I try not to post here too often since I don't have anything to add beyond my own milestones, but I suppose we're all entitled to a little bragging, eh? Happy new year to you all, may it hold many new levels for you.

It's always nice to have company instead of being alone. Going to be nice getting more used to being a regular in this lounge too. How was your X-mas by the way? I didn't get anything but I don't care too much about gifts.

Sounds good! My christmas was pretty much nonexistent; just stayed home and hung out. I'm not really a person who's crazy about the holidays and there's no kids around or anything, so it's pretty dull around here. :P

Congratsing yourself?? Madness! (Are you going to thank yourself, too?) :P

Should have realized this sooner, I have written 150 movie reviews! That's nothing compared to someone like Ericho but still it's a personal accomplishment for me.

I tend to find myself divided over how they changed the level system. As much as I prefer the static settings for the levels I will admit that the charm of the last level has dwindled, particularly when we'll soon have the whole top 50 being at maximum level. There'll be around 70-80 users at level 60 by the time I get there.

Ah yes, I remember you. I'd ask if you remember me but I put down my old username in the signature.
