Thanks. I've been working on my accent in order to sound more like Christopher Eccleston (he's from Northern England). I'm not doing too bad at it if I focus enough but I tend to get back to stupid american TV shows accent when speaking naturally.

Don't be shy, in our country it's a true performance to speak English this way.

The feeling of being a world champion is intoxicating, and I didn't want to ever not be the world champion again. Then I realized it didn't matter that much since I had nothing more to prove and achieved my most important goal(s).

Your compliment turns me on almost as much as this smile from Christopher Eccleston :

I really like that guy.

I thought American shows were normally overdubbed in the local language (as are movies) and given new titles as well so as not to sound too foreign to viewers on other continents. (See today's Cracked.com Photoplasty.) Though I suppose they might sometimes still be subtitled with the original audio kept in.

You're right about American shows being stupid, though. I don't watch much TV anymore except for Jeopardy! and occasionally Nova. Even the former feels a bit dumbed down to me now with some of the clues basically giving away the answer, but they sometimes still have a category or a Final Jeopardy that requires critical thinking. My cable company gave me a Science Channel as consolation for not having any Turner networks at the moment, I might watch that as well.

I also watch Wheel of Fortune just for the bonus puzzles at the end. I often solve these with just the R-S-T-L-N-E revealed while the in-game contestants struggle. Smiley

(Though I'm not so much of an AVID HOCKEY FAN...)

I miss the educational programming we had in the 80s and 90s: Square One Television, Where In the World/Time Is Carmen Sandiego?, Bill Nye the Science Guy, 3-2-1 Contact...

This week's update has some delay because :

1) I was speedrunning FF7 all the week.
2) There was a problem with the program, because Seb was still considered Legend A despite his 40/40 GOD times. It's easy to change but I have to fix it for all the players (Sami for example, should be Legend A in PAL with a 1.000 SR, whereas he's still currently considered Legend B).

So, weekly update with PRs done from October 7 to 13 should be done Tuesday, and PRs done from October 14 to 20 should be updated Thursday. Wink

Now that the ftp is opened again, I could upload the update from October 21 to 27. But with my new computer, I can't edit the files anymore. It'll be fixed at the beginning of the next month, then I'll do all the latest updates as fast as possible. If you get non-NBT PRs, please send them as usual to keep a good historic. Wink

I hope I can get the NTSC 2013 4th Quarter news update done this week... I just got back from my third visit to Texas in a month. I am going back and forth to help my uncle move. He's got a 75-acre ranch east of Dallas. I may be gone again this weekend. There is no computer or any other way to access the Internet while I'm there.

Already PMed Pierre about this, but I thought I'd say it on here anyway. When I made the 2014 MVK image last year, I forgot to send it to anybody and ended up losing it when my hard drive crashed. I still haven't reinstalled Photoshop (luckily my school gets it for free), but I should have it sometime within the next few weeks and then I'll be able to remake the 2014 MVK.

It's only a couple hours of work, but it sure is boring so I'll be doing 15 minutes of work here and there. It doesn't seem like we'll need it anytime soon, but if something arises I should be able to finish it within a day or so. I still read at least once a day so I should notice it.

Finished the 2014 MVK just now, luckily it didn't take as long as last time because I remembered how to do everything. I downloaded a 30-day trial of Photoshop to do this, which means that I'll try to knock out as many MVKs as I can and then send them to Pierre so I don't lose them in what would now be a third hard drive crash.

Because my school's IT department were the last people to have my computer before its hard drive gave out a few days ago, I'm pretty wary of giving it to them again. So unless I can find an alternate way to acquire the necessary programs, I'm probably just stuck with the trial. Even if I only get a few MVKs done, that's still a few years that we won't have to worry.

At least my iPod and Google drive were able to save ~80% of the stuff that I actually cared about, mainly MK vids and SM64 romhack stuff. Always back your important stuff up; that day will come when your computer just won't turn on...

I plan to do the 5 last 2013 updates this week, and upload all of them at the same time, so normally before the end of this week. The 1st update is already done.

EDIT 1 : 3 updates are done now. The 2 last ones will be done Tuesday so you should see the updates in around 48 hours. Wink

EDIT 2 : only 1 update left, it's almost done. Tongue

Just wanted to step in and congratulate you on a great job with your first news update Guillaume!

I was confident that the Non-NBT news-writing heritage would be safe in your hands and now that I've read your first work I am completely convinced that it will be.

Keep it up! Smiley

Also, can someone add him to the newswriters section on the frontpage? And move me to former collaborators ( Embarrassed

Credits on the frontpage are changed, PAL WRs and Awards (POQ, MVK, Gold Star) are fully updated for 2013.

Planning for this month :
- This week : January updates
- Next week : February updates
- Next week : 2 first March updates
- Next week : 2 last March updates and no delay anymore Cheesy

EDIT : February updates will have a little delay, but it should still be OK to start April updates in time.
