My goals for 2010 where:
- 19940 Experience
-> Yes, I reached that goal
- Passing simon in B/P
-> Also managed to do that, but maybe he passes me back next year. >_>
- Entering the top 70 in B/P
-> Close, but didn't manage to do it. :(
- 1,000 Flash Reviews
-> Nope
- 1,500 Audio Reviews
-> Nope

Only managed to reach 2 goals. I didn't reach my review goals because I got too busy with real life stuff. This leaves me too little time to write reviews on a more regular basis. I do write the occasional review every now and then for the RRC, but it's not enough to really raise my stats, since all my gains are rendered null and void when authors delete their work (or get their work deleted by an admin)

My goals for 2011:
- 23.640 Experience: Another year without a missed deposit. :)
- 50.000 B/P: Not too hard, since I am less than 3,000 B/P away.
- Posting more often: Seriously, with a gain of roughly 1,000 posts a year I will reach 10k posts in 5 years... I don't want to wait that long. ^^
- 1,000 Flash Reviews
- 1,500 Audio Reviews: We'll see if I can reach this years goals next year.

Another year went by and it was festival time again.

Over half of the "usual suspects" couldn't make it this year. One has a broken foot, the other one is in Shanghai at the moment, another friend is pregnant so she and her husband couldn't go to the festival...
in the end we where only 4 people in our camp, but it was nice anyway.

Thursday

After only 4 hours of driving (NO traffic jams at all!) we made it to the festival. Unpacking was quick this time (only 4 people, not that much stuff to carry) and we could enjoy our first beers really quickly after we arrived.

It was a bit unpleasing that you couldn't enter the campingground without the festival bracelet. We where standing there, fully packed but had to get those bracelets before. But last time there apparantly where many people on the campingground without those bracelet, so the security was a bit stricter this time.

Anyway, later that evening the first completly drunk guy found the way to our camp. He was talking a lot of nonsense and fell over a few times. I sat him into a chair so he wouldn't fall into our grill. When he fell over with the chair he only missed the grill by a few inches.

One of the guys I was camping with tried to take him back to his camp, but he couldn't get out of him where it was. So we tried to take the guy to the medical tent, but he ran away a few times, so we gave up on that...

Friday

I missed Ketzer. Damn. I really wanted to see them, but by the time I looked at my watch it already was 15:20 and they only played until 15:30...

Necros Christos: A bit slow. I bet they would sound better if they played the songs a bit faster. Also, the singer shouldn't growl while making a few announcements. You couldn't understand a thing...
Also also, they shouldn't make so long pauses in between the songs. Seriously, sometimes they just stood there for a whole minute without saying or doing anything other than drinking some beer (or whatever it was they had up on the stage).

Bloodbath: Awesome! It was only the 4th show ever this band played, because all of the members are active in other bands (like for example Mikael Åkerfeldt is also the singer of Opeth). But it was a great show.

Later this evening when I went back to the camp after Bloodbath I found our grill completly destroyed on the ground. The other guys told me a guy from a neighbour camp fell over the grill (it was still running!). But at least that guy now has an impression of the grate on the back of his vest. I'm sure
nobody else does have that as a backpatch, lol.

Saturdaya:
Artillery: I missed Bulldozer, but at least I went to see Artillery. Too bad the show wasn't too great.

Accept: What a great show!
There where some guys in the audience that where shouting "Udo!" before Accept entered the stage, but as soon as they played the first song with the new guy all those haters where quiet. It was just amazing.
Too bad I couldn't see them until the end, but the final game of the Champion's League was about to start, and my favorite team - Bayern Munich - was one of the teams that made it to the finals, so I went to see that game.
Even though Bayern lost 2-0 against Inter Mailand it was a good game and the mood in the tent where the game was shown was great (even though Bayern Munich isn't exactly liked in other parts of the country... ^^)

But it was a great experience anyway: I ran around in my Bayern strip on the campinground. Some people insulted me (like: "Bayern is going to lose!" or "Go away you bloody Bayern supporter!", you know. Stuff like that. I got used to it during all those years I support the club ^^). But some people came up to me saying: "I hope your team will win."
It was a nice experience to have other guys around me that support the same club that I do. :)

For some reason we where all really tired this evening, so we went to bed pretty early (around midnight, I think).

Sunday
Just like the years before we planned to drive back on Sunday. There was absolutely NO band at all that interested me. Well, no band except for Keep Of Kalessin and Rage. Too bad the latter of the two played the last show of the festival, but I didn't want to wait that long, so I decided we could leave after Keep Of Kalessin.

Keep Of Kalessin: What a great show! It was really hot and normally Black/Death Metal doesn't really work when it's too hot, but the band just played great and they had a great sound as well. For me they are one of the big winners of this festival. I'm sure they've won many new fans with their performance.

Edit: Amazing. I am amazing. :)

It's about time for a new quiz.

What's the name of this game?

Hints:
- The game was released in 1990
- It was released for PC, Atari ST and Amiga
-----
judio90 solved it, it's M.U.D.S.!

So, my overall pace dropped quite a lot compared to last years gain in stats. This has to do because I have to concetrate on my studies quite a lot and I think at around the middle of last year I spent only little to no time on NG. It's a pity statwise, but that's just how things go in life.

My goals for 2009 where:
At least 16,030 Experience (Level 39) - I reached that with ease. It's not that hard to log in daily and deposit experience. Especially when you have other users who help you when you are away. ;)

Reaching Supreme Commander (30,000 B/P) - Well, I reached that in February already. :)

1,000 Flash Reviews - I missed this by far. Mostly because the old RRC broke down and I didn't have the incentive or the motivation to review flashes for some months.
1,000 Audio Reviews - Even though cyberdevil got his account hacked and most of his audio deleted (I lost 41 audio reviews then) I achieved this goal.

So, 3 out of 4, not too bad. :)

My goals for 2010:
- 19940 Experience: If I can keep my streak of not missing any depost I will make it. :)
- Passing simon in B/P: Haha, we'll see if I can do it. It seems as if he started B/Ping again now that I finally closed the gap between us. >_>
- Entering the top 70 in B/P: I'm only 6000 B/P away, so this shouldn't be that hard to achieve. But who knows, maybe my pace will drop even lower?
- 1,000 Flash Reviews: 279 reviews away from that goal. Could still be difficult if the RRC doesn't get some more flash requests.
- 1,500 Audio Reviews: Shouldn't be too hard...

First of all, here's an updated version of the list I posted a while back.

01. Bahamut - 6
02. Hacsev - 3
03. RohantheBarbarian - 2
--. sorbitol - 2
05. Narusegawa - 1
--. tacomaster95 - 1
--. Odyssic - 1
--. Shanus - 1
--. sonofkirk - 1
--. chesster415 - 1

This list shows which user has solved how many quizzes. Seems like Bahamut expanded his lead a bit. ^^

So, next game. I'm sure it's pretty easy again.
What's the name of this game?

yugimt gave the correct answer. Of course it is Fallout 2!

Another easy one.

And I should update that highscore list again, I guess.

Okay, last one was pretty quick, but how about this one?

Oh yeah, I decided to continue this. I've delayed it for too long already.

Also, the quiz shouldn't be too hard, so what's the name of this game?

Well well, Clock Day is over now. I am a bit disappointed to be honest. I hoped to gain at least 400 Saves, just like the last two years.

I got on the PC at 2PM GMT+1 (I celebrated my birthday on the 14th plus I had to do some shopping first) and I was surprised to see only about 10 movies under judgement. I remember from the last years that there where nearly 50 UJ movies in the portal at once.

So, I started Portal Guard and waited for the movies to come in.

After about 3 hours I only racked up 60 or so saves. At that time I was already disappointed with this years clock day and I already knew that I wouldn't get anywhere near my goal of 400 saves.

Luckily things sped up around the evening (but too late for me, I had to prepare lunch and also eat lunch of course. So I think I missed over 100 saves around that time... :/

I gained 286 saves and no blams again. Even though I tried to blam a few movies, no luck again. However, I didn't try too many movies this year as I wanted to rack up as many saves I could to to keep my disappointment within a limit.

EDIT: I just noticed that I gained a rank in B/P. Before Clock Day I was #88, now I am #87. :)
