I live in Egypt. We get things a lot slower here.

Apparently the Konami Code (Up Up, Down Down, Left Right, Left Right, B, A, Start) can be used as an easter egg on various websites. I noticed this today on Facebook and I thought it was pretty neat.

I think we could use something like that here. The "hover your mouse over the angry face for a few seconds" animation is getting old.

Relax. My country is treating it like some kind of pandemic and its not that serious. Three of my friends were infected and all of them recovered overnight. It's a good thing you got treated early, let's just hope your immune system gets to work with those drugs faster.

That's because the voice you hear when you talk is almost completely different from the one everyone else hears. It's normal to hate your voice after recording it for the first time because you've been used to listening to yourself in a certain tone your entire life.

Why not use the NG one for Firefox?

The Chrome themes in general feel pretty bland. They should let people develop themes for themselves like the "Personas" add-on for Firefox.

Remember when mods edited posts?

I'd love to have one on my desk.

Because you didn't provide one.

This is what it used to look like.

Its been in the news since July.

Huh? The Pizza sub has been on the menu for as long as I can remember. Maybe its a regional thing.

But I saw that from the World Health Organization, an hour long hookah session is equal to 70 cigarettes. It was on the wikipedia page on hookah if you're interested, too lazy to link it.

By the by, a low nicotine count doesn't mean it isn't harmful. Nicotine doesn't harm your body in the first place.

It's probably horrible for you, the smoke is thick and if you're breathing nothing but smoke for an hour, no doubt it's going to fuck up your lungs, especially if you do it on a regular basis. It's like binge drinking for smokers.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Here in Egypt shishas are commonplace in almost every cafe. They're actually cheaper to order than a can of soda. This annoys me because I don't smoke and I generally have to sit through hours of second-hand smoke being blown all over the place.

Err, yeah. I keep forgetting we have one now.

for those who help 20 people connect their Wiis to the internet, that is.

You get 500 points in the Wii Shop for every one person you help connect, and full access to all first-party NES games if you help connect 10. Connect 20, and you hit the motherload: free NES, SNES, and N64 games to download to your heart's content!

Or you can download an emulator.

If you actually clicked the link or even glanced at the screenshot I posted above you'd know this is a game, not a quiz.

A select few of you from way back might remember a certain user by the name of GeorgeTopouria (Guga Topouria), a Georgian flash artist who was, as long as I can remember, regarded as an asshole for hijacking accounts and doing other antics on the BBS from 2003-2005 (the good old days). Recently I found his name listed as a "friend suggestion" on Facebook, and as it turns out we had a friend in common: a guy I went to high school with.

Has anyone else had this sort of freaky coincidence happen to them? I've heard so few of these stories and I'd love to see if anyone else has to share.

Because they're comparing his death to Princess Diana's.

Be more specific about things like that next time. Like someone else said, it's a slot loader (also known as a slider disc). See second paragraph in Hardware section:

That's what you got for trying online chat. While you're at it, go read a few comments on ANY YouTube video. Go ahead, I'll wait.

WHAT IS IT about Newgrounds that makes people like you think this place is packed with Phds?

It's just a regular DVD drive, only its programmed only to read the Wii-encrypted DVDs and not regular movie DVDs. It doesn't have a name.

Just about anything you'd do to them if they weren't reading a book.

I totally change my mind now, but I can't beak up with her.

She's not your girlfriend after one "date". Besides, if she invites you over and introduces you to her parents on the first date, a few flags should be raised. It's more disturbing than knowing she's a furry.

That, or you're a terrible liar.

If you're viewing somebody's page, then click the paint brush picture on the top Newgrounds logo of the page, you will automatically see their art submissions if any. I can see the programming here. All it does is add "/art" at the end of the URL.

Thanks.

Rob, wouldn't it be a lot better if we had the art section included in our profiles, though? I imagine a 'box' similar to the 'recent flash submissions' below our news posts. A "see all" link would take you to the "/art" page of the profile.

Why don't our submissions show up on our profiles?
