Why is there never anything that says when the monthly voting ends? I see the monthly voting page every day, and I figure I can let it go for another day, but then suddenly I see "Error, it's not monthly voting time". >:(

Can I just say, TankBobRoss = win.

Anyway, here's hoping the MLM system keeps the talent level high.

Guys, you know I love you (in a stouthearted manly sort of way), but...I just wasn't all that impressed with Castle Crashers. I mean, I downloaded the demo and played it, and it was the same gameplay as Final Fight, TMNT, dozens of other games. Sure, it was reasonably well polished, and the animation was top-notch, but isn't there more to game design than cool animation?

Kom, Susser Tod. Sounds happy, but listen to the lyrics. (And of course the title means "Come, Sweet Death"...)

Another great one is DEVO's "Beautiful World". The weird thing is that this was even used for a Target commercial, but if you listen to the lyrics it's...pretty amazing.

It's a beautiful world we live in,
A sweet romantic place,
Beautiful people everywhere,
The way they show they care
Makes me want to say,

It's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world, it's a beautiful world
For you...for you...for you...

IT'S NOT FOR ME

I live on Long Island, in New York. I could take the monkey to NYC, I go there every month or so at least. Or, there's a sign right by my house that says "This was the historical border of the New Netherland territory". It might only be interesting to history buffs, but it is unique. ;)

I'm going to make Aching Dreams 2 and make it kick ass.

Woo, I found "Effective Flea Control" and it made it on the list!

...That is a LOT of movies. You expect us to watch them all?...Of course, you watched all the ones in the original thread...you're insane, Tom. O_o

Awright, the Treasure Hunt!

Be sure to watch this one 'til the end:

Effective Flea Control, by Cheesius Type: Movie Rating: Everyone

This one is just good fun:

Jerry's Rocket, by shortson Type: Movie Rating: Ages 13+

The NYAF was pretty fun. There were lots of interesting costumes there...here's a picture I thought you guys might like.

(I know, I know, I fail at taking pictures. I'm sorry. I hope someone else has a better picture of these guys.)

Holy cow...THAT'S why I couldn't align anything, I wasn't set to align "To Stage"! THANK YOU, Tom!

Congrats, Tom, but...I mean, it's just a side-scrolling beat-em-up like Final Fight, right?

I was totally going to recommend that one but I couldn't remember its name. Thanks!

Why is MySpace bad? I'm not saying it's good or bad, I'm just saying, let's step back and think about this for a moment. Why do you think it's bad?

Is it because of the lame people who use it? Well, it's hard to keep lamers out of anywhere, really. I'm sure Newgrounds has had to deal with its share, and that's not going to change anytime soon, eh?

Is it because of the horrible HTML pages that people put up? Well, now you've got the opportunity to make a GOOD version!

Is it because MySpace is successful and so many people use it? Well, I can't help you there. :P

Damn it, why are you guys condoning and even encouraging putting ads on Flash? >:( As if ArmorGames and MochiAds weren't bad enough...

I figured it was better in this forum since it was Newgrounds-specific...Anyway, thanks! :D

So, I tried to submit a Flash the other day and Newgrounds told me it was too wide; more than 800 pixels. This was true, it WAS more than 800 pixels...However, I didn't have any warning that there was a limit. I can't find anything about it in the FAQ either. What are the "official" limits? Is there a height limit too?

My goal is to finally finish my hentai game. If something like "==Hentai Adventure Game==" can get daily third, I know mine will kick ass.

Oh, boy. I foresee a front page filled with all sorts of.........wondrous things.

Here's the entire oeuvre of an artist named "Entrails the Clown" (oh boy, did you ever think you'd see the word 'oeuvre' in a Newgrounds post?):
Man in Toothpaste - Nicely random
Pico's "What the fuck?" - Pretty sick, but maybe you'll like it, I dunno :P

Blitzed - mouth of love - Part of some series which seems like it was pretty well done.

Adventures of..Mouth-Man! - Short and sweet

April Fools - Enough said

Hey, I'm having a little trouble with the tutorial template from the second post in this thread...Flash tells me it can't open the file because it "contains screen". Apparently screens are a feature of Flash MX 2004 Professional. And I only have the regular Flash MX 2004...

Oh, Boolean logic! Why didn't you just say so. :P No problem, I'm on it.

Okay, uh...I still want to know what the "Binary" tutorial entails. Like I said, I know a lot about binary, I'm just a little unsure about why someone would want to have a tutorial on it in a bunch of Flash tutorials. The basics of binary as a number system? Converting between it and decimal? Bitwise operators? Storing flags in variables? Just tell me what to tutor and I'll tutor a tutorial about it! ;)

Hey, I'd like to do Advanced/Binary and Web Design/PHP. The thing is, I'd need to know what you want in those tutorials. I know a lot about Binary and PHP, so I'm sure I can do it, I just need to know exactly what should be in there. :P For PHP you probably want high score submission or something, right? Anything else?

Okay, I just played a game here on Newgrounds that was apparently posted today. However, I KNOW I've played it before, I just can't remember the name of the other game. I've searched through stuff, but no luck.

The game is sort of a side-scroller. You go through various screens, hopping on platforms to get to higher exits. The arrow keys move while the mouse lets you aim and shoot in any direction. There's a sort of repetitive music. Occasionally you go through a screen where rocks continually fall from the screen and you have to avoid them. The graphics looked like 8-bit pixels.

The "new" game is here.

So, can anyone remember the old game? And if I'm correct and this is 'stolen', what do I do?

Hang in there, Tom!

The basic theory of Newgrounds (and it's certainly not unique to Newgrounds) is that you try out billions of possibilities and SOME of them come out awesome. Look at the front page. Aren't you proud of all the awesome stuff people have done and submitted to your website? Fun games, cool cartoons...the Weird Al collection, for crying out loud! You've got so much awesome concentrated here. Think about the art contests, how people will jump at the chance to submit wacky pictures simply because you said so! Think of the audio portal, where people submit hours of music! Think of how many awesome Flash artists there are submitting stuff--how EVERY DAY you say "We also have submissions from THESE popular Flash artists (insert two dozen people who rock)".

Sure, there's drama, there's guilt over missed opportunities...But it doesn't matter. You gotta leave that behind like it was BLAMMED.

I hope I didn't sound angry, I'm not trying to sound angry, I'm trying to sound encouraging. :) There's nowhere to go but up!

I'm just glad Tom has a sense of humor about this stuff. ^_^;

Well, first of all, I'm pretty sure Math.random() chooses a value between 0 and 1. At least it does in Flash MX 2004...What people usually use is code something like this:

Math.round(Math.random()*(max-min))+min;

Where "min" and "max" are the minimum and maximum numbers you want to get. So if you wanted a number from 1 to 10, min would be 1 and max would be 10.

Is ngcollabs.com working?

So there's an animation of a duck with the Tale Spin theme song? Who the duck really cares?

Actually, that quote wasn't really said by Voltaire, but by a woman writing a biography of Voltaire who used it as a summary of Voltaire's beliefs. But it's close. ;)
