I remember who great it felt. That shiney badge and all =] Now you just need to get that whistle to match your badge.

Congrats. One thing I would say is now you've reached the EG, there really isn't a need to post your updated stats in various topics (what seems like) every day, not that there was a need to do that anyway. Try to keep it to major milestones (like a rank/level up).

These rogue whistlers have messed a lot of people about, but they've helped me somewhat in that the portal got turned back on as I got home from work, and there's 50+ points asking to be taken :-)

lightning- 60 makes alot more sense. 16 just didn't seem right.

Well that was pretty fun, I got a ton of Blams and Saves! I can't wait for my next Badge!

Yep 16 is a little to small to be correct. (damn no adit button having problem.)

Congrats Slowbro and Punk6sic6.
As for me, I'm 54 b/p points from the next badge, but I entered the Top 100 yesterday (or today if you mean GGD). AND I won't have to wait too long before I finally get off level 9 (I hate this level!).

Congrats, now are you looking forward to the Level 11 icon or the Level 12 icon?

Damnit, just fixed my PC, it had 2 different viruses, both are cleaned up and I had corrupted graphic card drivers....now it works fine again, but i'M loosing a lot of blams/saves >:(

yes, thats right
i am level 12
now don tgo getting too jealous

ah, who am i kidding
just look at the damn glove

Congrats on lv12. Rank up days are great, but level up days just put a big grin on your face don't they. I LOVE level up days.

(GASP)

I've been in it for almost as long as you have, and I'm not tired of it yet. It's just such a relief not being 14 anymore that I can't take it for granted.

Also, my favourite day of the week is Friday because it's ALMOST the weekend but not quite there. Once it gets to be Sunday, the oncoming week might as well bet there, yanno? So Friday is perfect, because it stands for possibility... it stands for all the free time and freedom of the weekend just ahead.

and thus, level 15, for me, is like the Friday of NG levels.... level 16 will be a lovely Saturday... and then it's Sunday and Monday and blah blah from then on. Until Level 24, which is the next weekend, really. #;-}>

talk about one hell of a long week, eh? 4 or 5 years or something. jeez.

(GASP GASP) now tired of level 16 is something I can't imagine, Recon! I would be happy being level 16 for over a year, but sadly it will only last for one third of a year for me, most likely...

And it seems you've already hit it, judging from your profile. CONGRATS, MrX! Nice job attaining Master Sergeant.

Good advice, jon. Other things like 1337 saves or 1337 blams are okay, too. Speaking of which, I passed 13337 saves today, and am now officially the Number 2 Saviour of teh NG Portal. WOOT WOOT! Watch out, fixit, here I come!

Glad you hit it just right, jon.

What do you mean, lightning? O_o I wasn't on the BBS at the time, so I wouldn't have shown up as online there, but I was still in the portal, voting. Of course, I'd probably hit some of them on Sunday before they got whistled, but it never hurts to be careful! and I believe it worked out well in the end, probably snagged a good 40 points.

Thank goodness that seems to be over. No attempts made today, I don't think.

WOOHOOO!!

Thanks for voting, D0GMA!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of 6.00 votes.

FINALLY!! Base VP is finally up to 6 =) Unfortunately, that will last right up until HT depositis, but I'll get it back for good tomorrow ;-)

Glad you enjoyed it, then! Were you expecting something different becuase you'd seen Royal Tennenbaums or Bottle Rocket (the films the director made after and prior to Rushmore, along with Owen Wilson and Luke Wilson each time as well)?

or what? Rushmore certainly has a very unique editing style compared to most movies. I love the way, for example, Bill Murray trips over a fence while spying on the female teacher and quickly jumps up.. a quick jump cut by the editor... makes it all very surreal and nifty.

And I just love the plot and characters most of all. Teh greatens movie. With a wonderful soundtrack, too.

I spend way too much money watching movies, don't you think? Oh well, as long as I'm enjoying them, it's not a waste.

Oh, I dunno about that. Movies aren't the most expensive form of entertainment ever created, and they're certainly worthwhile and enriching, for the most part. Books are cheaper, though, so read some books if you feel like you're spending too much on movies. #;-}>

As for the flick being filmed in your hometown, it really is a small world, isn't it? A couple of movies were filmed in my hometown too. If you ever see the upcoming flick, I, Robot, you'll see a couple of scenes filmed just down the hill from my house.

cool! Will do, if I see it soon.

Oh, and I just ranked up to become the eighteenth person to hit Elite Guard Lieutenant Colonel.

Congrats on LtCol! That's awesome. I noticed you're doing quite well on the top 50, too.

And... this makes 5200 for me, so I'm done for tonight. See everyone tomorrow! I may be updating the VP list then, or possibly Wednesday.

Wow, I am an incompetent film enthusiast. Oh well, as you've probably guessed by now, the answer to your question is 'no'. However, The Royal Tenenbaums has been on my list for a while, but keep in mind, it's an extremely long list. I need to get my friends to stop recommending so many movies to me. I might not be able to go to university if this keeps up. I'll get around to it though. I can promise you that. I'm a procrastinator, but I'm a procrastinator that gets things done. Eventually.

I used to read a lot, but I find it easier with movies than books. I know that's a poor excuse, but as of late, I've been getting more and more stressed and I've had less and less free time. I'd rather have a story told to me over a period of two hours than read every single detail about a story from a book that demands my full attention for five or six hours. Maybe I'm a slow reader, who knows? Of course, that's not to say that I don't read at all. I just prefer going at my own pace. I'm a procrastinator, remember? But yeah, right now, I'm working through Ishmael by Daniel Quinn. Actually, I think you'd like that book. If you ever come across it sometime, pick it up and just read the first chapter or two. It's more of an epistemological essay than a real novel, but it's interesting nonetheless. It's sure to be more entertaining than updating more of those lists you keep doing. But hey, whatever floats your boat.

Congrats on LtCol! That's awesome. I noticed you're doing quite well on the top 50, too.

At least someone notices around here. You're just about the only person around here who actually responds to my posts. Of course, you respond to everyone else as well so I guess I shouldn't feel special. Thanks for the kind words though. You know, if it wasn't for people like you, Ozcar and Painbringer, I don't even know if I'd be here right now. Chances are, I'd still be in front of my computer, but not on Newgrounds, you know what I mean? I love you guys. Oh, and you're looking pretty good there in the Top 5 on the Top Saviors/Blammers List. All the best to you, man. I'll get up there someday, you know. Watch your back, gfoxcook. I'll make it up there. Eventually.

HI I'M NEW HERE, IS NEWGROUNDS THE PLACE FOR ME!?!?!?!? TEEEE HEEEE

You'd think it would die quick right? Nope, 7 pages in a few hours.

I am now an Elite Guard Master Sergeant (actually I came one around 12am NG time, but I wasn't here to know). Thank you gfoxcook for congradulating me.

Considering that during my hiatus about 100 pages were added to this thread, I had obvious issues with getting motivated to join back in. No matter when I piped in there was always going to be something from 2 or 30 pages ago that someone was referring to. Nothing personal in the lack of comment Ben ... belated Congrats!! though.
