How? Explain to me in any way how this is a good idea.

I never said it was a good idea, I said that the it could have potential in the premise.

I really don't know that much about the show, but it's about finding the deadliest/most effective fighting techniques, correct?

Perhaps a protagonist lives during a feudal age in a violent part of the world and needs to learn fighting techniques from a master or several masters to overcome various obstacles that confront him and thus becomes the deadliest warrior. Very generic, but it basically falls into the guidelines of the monomyth, gives homage to the premise of the show in a Hollywood kind of way and could make for a popcorn movie. Meh, idk.

They made a movie version of Battlefield Earth... at least there are things that could, potentially be done with this premise.

The Bonnacon is the greatest mythical animal of all time... OF ALL TIME!

It can launch explosive, burning poo at your face!

LIES!
They're not baby carrots at all , they're just regular carrots mechanically lathed into little carrot bullets! If they were baby carrots they would be under-ripe and taste bad.

I prefer whole carrots anyway.

Characters in games are becoming increasingly customizable, from their sex to their armor and everything in between. If you're playing a game that features extensive character customization why not post a picture of your character and, maybe a short description...

This is my character from Torchlight, obviously a brawler, I equip only the strongest items and pretty much ignore magic and enchantments unless they directly affect my characters ability to whoop ass.

As a portent of things to come for all of us Newgrounders Thomas Fulp is an anagram for "fat lush mop!"

You have to repeatedly watch the Tom Cruise film Cocktail until you're ready to die (usually one viewing will suffice).

Keanu Reeves - Dracula

Why is that guy even in movies? He's Ben Affleck terrible in every movie he's in.

I think the mandibles on a creepy crawly tend to be the most frightening aspect of it...

So if it's a glorified dress up, regardless of price, it's still gonna be shit.

is nights on genesis any good

I didn't know Nights existed on Genesis... the one on Saturn was pretty sweet though.

Beer and wine taste terrible, I don't know how people can find that refreshing, either they're lying to themselves or something is different about the way I taste things.

Long island iced tea all the way.

I bet a ton of people got that or a similar PM, I know I did...

Thoughts?! :O!

Flash 8 is so ca$h, but kinda dated by now (I have been able to run it fine in Win 7 64 but have read of other people having lots of problems running or installing in a contemporary OS), last non-Adobe-bloatware Flash version much <3 for Flash 8 here.

Toon Boom Animate looks quite promising, but it costs the same as Adobe Flash CS5 (here anyway) and Animate Pro costs significantly more. I'd suggest you try the demo to see if you like it before making such a hefty investment.

As a big, long-time Newgrounds nerd, I love Newgrounds themed games like these:

The Edge at Great America in Santa Clara, California. It was my birthday and my dad told me that he'd pay for the trip to the amusement park if I went on this particular ride, I believe I was turning 10. The Edge was, according to some basic research I just did, the first ever free-fall ride in the world, basically you're strapped into a seat, the thing goes way up, it moves forward a bit and you plummet toward the ground, the track then curves outward so that you're on your back as the ride slows and eventually stops. It was one of the most exciting things I'd ever done and from that point on I've never been afraid to ride any ride at an amusement park.

As has been said already the BBS is bleeding users, and has been for some time. Unless there is a major reinvigoration of interest in the site, which is itself unlikely without some new major innovations, the BBS will continue a downward trajectory, imo.

Lol, it's HOW MUCH?

I do not advocate or condone pirating Flash, but you have figures that are for the UPGRADE from a previous version, not the full software.

New York City -

The city skyline at night, King Kong, self appointed capital of the cultural world, Spider-Man.

Philadelphia -

Liberty Bell (that's all I got)

Washington, DC -

Classical inspired architecture in the capital, monuments, ridiculous economic disparity.

Chicago -

Deep dish pizza, violence, Michigan Avenue, Oprah.

San Francisco -

Japanese tea gardens at Golden Gate Park, Golden Gate Bridge, crazy hills, Lombard Street, Height-Ashbury.

L.A. -

LAX airport, phonies everywhere, smog, terrible traffic.

Portland, OR -

Relatively clean, outdoor market, fish, tugboats.

Not only would he laugh he'd manifest a small pile of 20 fish for me to fall in, the jerk.

How about a holodeck?

Again, I don't really like to pick favorites; I'll say AlantheBox, Luis, ReNaeNae, BizarroJoe and Jeepis.

No, people like to screw around and have fun, let them.

Thanks for taking the time to respond at this.

You're welcome.

False.

It had to do with the lack of belts in prison and sometimes over-sized garb. It had nothing to do with intercourse.

You want an explanation of a 2010-present internet meme?

Just accept that people are going to latch onto things and you can either accept it or rage and howl at the moon.

Oh great one, will you tell me about myself judging me only by my avatar?

I think it's fair to say that every animator struggles with this problem. While the finished animation will bring you gratification (hopefully), the work leading up to that is extremely time consuming and intensive. So if you want that good feeling of sharing the finished product you should keep pushing yourself to complete it.

Yeah, I think it applies to creative types of all sorts, writers, musicians, fine artists, etc. I have a lot of trouble getting and staying motivated (cheap instant coffee helps only so much). So I'm just wondering what others do to get through the tough spots.

Watch other animations. There really is no trick to set that light bulb off in your head because that is all creativity. Someone can be the best animator in the world, but without the help of others thinking of stories for them ( or shorts ) they most likely will never be successful.

Most definitely. Have you seen any of the Annecy Festival short animations on Youtube?
They are amazing (this is one of my favorites)... But I digress, personally I like to take walks while listening to music and sometimes... sometimes an idea will hit me, usually not though, so it takes a long time for me to come up with anything worthwhile and then I have to deal with the motivation issue discussed earlier, lol...

Anyway, thatnks for your thoughts on this. =]

Zipper faic ftw...

That shit is for people who involve themselves in some kind of physical activity.
