Fizzbomb gave us that info on the last page.  Tis good news, though.

Interesting...some pressure is applied to Thomas, and he caves.  Not the first time.

Huzzah!

[falln_angel]

That's awesome! I just went and downloaded a ton of their stuff. I had most of it from the booty already, but I wanted Thomass to feel like he was losing money.

I did that too!
English speakers do not have a word for it (funníly enough), but it was a pure schadenfreude moment.

English speakers have adopted "schadenfreude" for precisely that reason. It's such a great word to describe that emotion, why try to create another? (English is, after all, part German anyway.)

[alia]

I know Hec, I just find it funny that you do not have a word for it.   

Anyways, it was pure glee. 

Edit:
<--- The postcount, check it out!

Woo! Congratulations! Send alia a strip-o-gram! (Do not send alia a strip-o-gram, it would be creepy)

Besides, in english there is no way it would be anywhere near as pithy. It would end up being something like "jerkycontentedness" or "misfortunehah" (or more likely it wouldn't be one word [no whining that those are two words, compounds count!], but a long description of the meaning ). See, all are awful replacements because "schadenfreude" is so great.

It is kind of weird, though, that english doesn't have more words for different emotional and internal states, instead it almost always requires a long, wordy description (except in cases like, say, "schadenfreude", where useful words just get cribbed from other languages) . That's always one thing I hear from many ESL speakers that strikes them as odd about the English language (although I'm sure there are many, many others ).

"misfortunehah"

OMG, that is fabulous! 
I'm going to start using that.
It might not be a word yet, but it will be. 

[Hecubus]

Pescado takes great delight in his attitude of misfortunehah.

Yep, I like it. Let's see how long before we hear someone outside the community using it....

Ha! I'll finally have my own entry in the OED!

Ok fine, I'm guilty.
I felt weird a bit because I really do like their stuff alot.
They're very talented artists so I was afraid it would seem gratuitous.
So I made sure I took the time to thank, and more importantly, recommend them after every download.
There were many.

Is questioning his punctuation.

[Saraswati]

Kenmtl. *sighs* For me it's not so much your punctuation that's the issue so much as the spreading tendancy around here for new posters to hit enter after every sentence. It's ok to keep going with the same paragraph if you're still going with the same thought and it's actually kinder on everyone else's heads.

[Hecubus]

Too many enters
Turns quite normal sentences
Into crap haiku.

Sorry guys, I didn't even notice. I'll be more attentive in the future. I even do that longhand believe it or not. It's the way I think, so it's the way I write. You're not the first to point that out believe me. I once wrote what I thought was a very romantic letter to someone and they were laughing while reading it. I was getting angry a bit, so they said it was just because I had written the entire thing in point form. Anyway, I'll be more careful while I'm here.

See now, I can't even reread that, it just looks like jumble to me. lol
