PS: NO TWO CARE.

You see guys. This guy understands the internals pains that I have been going through the past three months. The ridicule, loss of self-respect, loss of loved ones. ALL BECAUSE OF THIS SOUNDBOARD!!! ; ) I'm glad that I still inspire someone.

This is a a public announcement from the guys and me.... About me.

You know what type of flash brings some people into fits of rage and others into fits of glorious laughter. That's right, I am indeed talking of the soundboard. Let me first get one thing off my chest.

I HATE SOUNDBOARDS!!! WELL NOT ALL OF THEM, BUT I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE USE THEM TO GET A FREE PASS THROUGH THE VOTING SYSTEM IN ORDER TO UP THEIR AVERAGES. SOUNDBOARDS RARELY TAKE MORE THAN A WEEK TO MAKE ON SPARE TIME!!! ALL THEY ARE ARE LONG QUOTES OF BAD SOUND QUALITY THAT ONLY TAKES A GUY WITH FLASH, THE INTERNET, AND BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF BUTTONS TO MAKE!!! IT'S THE SLACKER'S TOOL FOR SUCCESS!!! I HATE SOUNDBOARDS BECAUSE NO EFFORT IS PUT INTO THEM AND IT'S NOT THE NEWGROUNDS SPIRIT!!!

Now from that you may double take and say. "Why ekublai, that's rather hypocritical of you considering you yourself have created two soundboards that are both of family guy, aren't any different besides the quantity of sounds, and most of the complaints you recieve are because they are just clips downloaded from quahog5news.com. What makes you so special."

It's true. I am indeed a hypocrite. The bad sound quality, visually simplistic, non-edited sounds from one source, and yes... I did it to make my start on newgrounds, and then made a sequel (uncommon in soundboards) of THE family guy Soundboard. My weak defense is that I actually put forth a slight effort into making the second soundboard since it technically has more sounds than any another "fgsb" 127 i believe.

So as I thought abou tmy future on newgrounds, I decided that I have cheated the system for two long with half-assed soundboards that I made in a week or two.
I have statements as follows: The reason beginners make sounboards is to A) bask in undeserved success or B) add something that thought was missing in the last soundboard

from this I conclude that at about average 3 soundboards come to newgrounds per month just type in "family guy" in the search bar and you'll find hundreds of sounds from family guy.

Now this is the actual statistic i want you to see NO SOUNDBOARD ON NEWGROUNDS IS ABOVE THE 5mb SIZE LIMIT!!!

FROM THERE I SHALL BLOW YOUR MIND. I AM GOING TO CREATE THE GREATEST FAMILY GUY SOUNDBOARD EVER. i HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT FOR THREE MONTHS STRAIGHT DOWNLOADING FROM THE INTERNET, DECOMPILING EXISTING SOUNDBOARDS, AND RIPPING SOME OF MINE OWN from the show itself.
FROM THERE I HAVE BEEN EDITING THEM INTO MULTIPLE CLIPS. This is because I want this soundboard to be PERFECT! no more out of control and bad quality quotes. no half-asing it this time.

*Note: as i am typing a "Slater Soundboard" has come to the portal. do us a favor and blam it to oblivion for a sec.*

So anyway, this is what my FAMILY GUY SOUNDBOARD3 WILL HAVE

PROs

1. MORE VISUALLY PLEASING LaYOUTS AND EASY NAVIGATION
2. COMPREHENSIBLE MENU AND SOUND BUTTONS
3. OVER 700 SOUNDS FROM FAMILY GUY (weren't expecting that were you? it's true. I promised that I wouldn't half-ass it and I'm trying my hardest to squeeze every conceivable sound possible for each member of the show.
4. This will inspire future generations of soundboard makers to work harder, and it will cut out the family guy soundboards completely since there will be nothing missing.

CONs

1. Only one. HUGE FILE SIZE. I'm not even sure tom has the authority to accept such a monstrofigous file into the portal. I'm expecting at least 10 mbs and probably more. That's the only thing holding me back since I promised I wouldn't hold back on this. Maybe if I paid him... yeah.

SO EVERYBODY! Witness history in the making as I go forth and do the impossible, by creating a SOUNDBOARD THAT HAS MY HEART AND SOUL IN IT!!!

THE Family Guy Soundboard3: COMING SOON TO THE PORTAL (though not to soon)

p.s I'm putting this message in flash section too so don't complain.

If you want overal enjoyability it's probably knox because you know what to expect, but its diffferent for different artists. there are much smoother animators than knox on this site but not with as good dialogue or storylines. Best clay animators. I'm not sure. I don't really think the animation capabilities of clay animation has really been tested. something to think about.

Seriously. the v-cam should not always be the solution to these kind of problems. Though they do help in certain cases, unless the guy is experienced with using it, which he apparently is not, he should practice with it some, because it can produce some undesired effects that people who don't know AS or stuff that they did before affecting the size of their objects won't be able to fix.

I say try using the transform tool a little more. And use the v-cam when you know it won't affect a certain part of the flash. Make sure they when tranforming the sprites, you're keeping everything proportional using the square transform tool.

Make sure nothing screwed up like the opacity of the paint or the type of brusk you're using also the setting

kinda hard to read but i think you're saying that crime would go down if we legalized marijuana and the economy would get a boost. Both of these are true. A good example that you used was prohibition because it turned out that as alcahol was outlawed, the substitutes for everyday beer became moonshine and other home-made drinks that were borderline destructive to people's lives. Not to mention a blow to the economy. I hate to say it but as much as I hate drugs, it has always been a vital part to daily life because we made it that important. It's like oil to the extent that it is not getting more expensive but it is clear that there is no ready substitute that will save people as well as not put our government further into debt.

I think that any war that we might create against drugs and drinking is a losing war. But it is still a necessary war. The War on Drugs is a terrible, losing war, but it is very necessary because it displays a sort of determination that we don't want to lose the sense of organization that we've developed in this country.

For me, it' mostly just about health issues. Because when you legalize marijuana a lot of stuff can happen. Because of the fact some people like to smoke weed to get high and then drink to get low again means more mixing now legal substance, which in combination can create the same dangerous effects as combinations of prescription drugs. Since weed creates a resistence in the gag reflex, it means that the only outlet that the body has for getting the alcohol out of the body is gone, which raises the chance for alcohol poisoning.

So all in all, the only reason to legalize drugs would be so that people consider druglords now would become business men, and just because it would make it easier to access an illegal substance. When talking back about prohibition, those guys were fighting for the right to bring an illegal substance into a softer light. This entire topic is also about bringing something that can be potenctially harmful into a softer light. It has happened before time and time again with nuclear power, restrictions on what types of arms one can bear, and time and time again, desire has corrupted government, in effect becoming corrupt itself. At some point, while we do live in a democracy, government does have to put its foot down at some point and say that a human's decision of desire can hurt itself and those around

It looks actually pretty good. I do think that that chuck of hair on the right is a little awkward looking. The shading in the hair is rounded which doesn't match with the overall angular drawing. Show less forehead unless you going for that. make more shorter bangs. I'm not exactly sure what you want so I can't really tell you what to do.

very few retain the old ways of scripting. I think your best bet is to email someone like -dELTA-. he's may have knowledge of these ancient rites.

The automatic reasoning is to get a newer version of flash and learn flash 2.0 or 3.0

If you are allowed to server your country at the age of 18 why can't you drink in that country.

I hate that argument. not saying that it yours. but i think it's more logical to take this one step at a time. Just check out these well researched scenarios

Scenario: Serving Your country and you die in battle at AGE 18
Enemy deaths: 5 Allies: 1

Scenario: Death Penalty at AGE 18 for murder (note: you were not falsely accused)
Enemy deaths: .5 (you were kind of the enemy) Allies: 1.5 (1 for the guy you killed)

Scenario: DUI conviction after crashing head on with another vehicle with a tailgater
Enemy deaths: 0 Allies: 3-9 (You plus the two other drivers and the passengers they had inside them.

note: nevermind abou the DUI conviction. They can't convict a dead man. forgot.
Anyway yeah. I think it should stay at 21. You have to get to a certain age before you get to end your life and the lives of those around you.

Seriously drinking laws are placed so people are more likely to avoid the last scenario. I do believe that you should have responsibility over your own decisions at age 18 and suffer the consequences. However, you should not be allowed to make the decision for yourself and the people's lives' that will be affected by your decision until your old enough to make sure it's the right decision.

definitely don't legalize marijuana. with the legalization of marijuana comes easier access to kids under 18. Combine this with the fact that the leading cuz of death in teenagers (15-19) is fatal car accidents. This is because their inexperienced in all mature aspects of life. During high school kids go on their insane drinking binges and baking parties before go into a brand new car with nothing but their drivers permit that they got the week before. The kid's parents are out on the town thinking the kids at a friends house behaving. Thinking the friend who already has a license will supervise his driving. Doesn't happen. Kid gets on the highway, gets blinded by dim headlights and collides into a tree or oncoming cars. Kills the kid. During the autospy they find that even if he hadn't crashed he would've died from alcohol poisoning anyway. Not to mention the other kid driver coming from the party on the other side of town that he just crashed into.

In conclusion, letting 16-yearolds buy marijuana, not from the drug dealers in the back alley, but from the 7-11 cashier using their well-made scannable ids that used to only be for cigarrettes and booze, is a very bad idea.

Don't legalize marijuana if the kid's going to ruin my life as well as his own.

Fuck. The only part I'm getting wrong is the "-kynesis", I'm sure. Wah.

photo= light, kinesis = manipulation
photokinesis = ability to manipulate light :D
cyto= cells
cytokinesis= abilty to manipulate cells.

cytokinesis makes sense. cuz then you can clone cells.
photokinesis is utilized a supervillian and superherione of the names Dr. Light in DC Comics
but also refers to the movement of biological matter in reponse to light for example bacteria.

I beleive the correct term for self impregnation is Parthenogenesis, which means that females don't need fertilization in order to give birth. It occurs in some plants, invertebrates like aphids, honey bees, some fish, salamanders, lizards. Wow, even turkeys don't need males to give birth
related stuff is gynogenesis which needs the presents of sperm for 'encouragement.'
Partheno= virgin
genesis = birth or beginning
Parthenogenesis= virgin birth :D

Everyone has great points. The only thing from my statement that I don't concede is the authority thing because in a sense, peer pressure can certainly be an authority to rebel against. And about how people just go to drink and do drugs to have fun. That's entirely different. I'm talking about those who like to rebel against conformity all together. People who do it without trying to make a statement are those who just unknowingly add to the peer pressure authority, which makes drinking and drugs at a young age conformist activities.

I feel like I'm overusing the word 'conformity' and might not be using it correctly

k my next question is is do you think you could adapt that 3d text menu so it would zoom images instead of text?

It's kind of interesting to think about. A lot of studies show that more than fifty percent of high school students drink or do drugs. If that's the case than doesn't that mean you're a rebel if you're clean. Rebel is no longer the definition of not caring and playing by nobody's rules but is now defined by how much you care about not drinking or doing drugs. It's like you're at a party and everyone's drunk. Not one rebel in the crowd (besides being rebellious to their parents i guess) but in reality, they are all just a bunch of conformists. It's the guy who's sober in the corner talking to his baked friends and laughing that's the actual rebel of the group. So just in case you like being a rebel and not following the rules of conformity drop that beer, throw away that syringe, and snap that homemade hookah over your knee because today you are going to be a rebel by staying sober, talking correct grammer, and wearing your pants two feet higher than everyone else.

does anyone here read web designer magazine? issue 118? the 3d zooming menu? good at AS? please reply if you meet at least half this criteria?
