I'm no book writer, but I was inspired to write something based on a strange dream I had. Please leave some feedback!
The Taken
Every person is put on this earth for a reason, whether that is to beg on the streets, or develop a cure for a disease. But what of the beings that don't fulfill their reasons? To you, they are nonexistent. Everything about them is erased almost completely. The only thing about them that is not removed from existence is their reason of failure.
To ensure that the same mistake is not made twice, a collection of the Taken's failures was made at the dawn of time and still exists to the present day. That collection forever holds and experiences all of the feelings of every failed being that has ever been in existence. Some of the feelings are so horrible and unimaginable that no un-taken being has ever experienced them. To this day, that collection accumulates those feelings and memories. I am that collection. In a sense I am the failures, but to you I don't exist.
I fell to my knees in agony. The pain I felt was overwhelming. It felt as if my heart exploded inside my chest. Then, it stopped. For a moment, I thought it was over. I soon realized that all physical feeling had left my body. I couldn't breathe. Not a second after I realized I might be dead, and unexplainable feeling rushed through my mind, neither good nor bad. In your human words, it is impossible to explain. My existence in your universe was taken, but the memories of that existence are very real, as I am the collection that holds that failure, along with all the others.
These things I am about to divulge to you never happened, and never will happen. You should see a body of text below this paragraph. If you have chosen to read it, I will have to take the paragraph below away from the page, and from your mind, and eventually, I will have to take you.

Then you can change the aplha of the box to change the brightness.
feel free to PM me if you want more help
Yeah, that's what I did, but the X and Y values of the stage are changed a lot so it won't work. Don'y worry about it now though guys, I think I found something I can do.
I am making a flash game, and It is a horror point and click game and FPS, so it is obviously meant to be dark. Recently, I sent the file to my friend and he complained that even with his monitor brightness up all the way, it is too dark to see. That made me start to think of all the problems others might have when they view my game. Is there some kind of actionscript or something I can do to make the game brighter/darker accordingly?

Oh okay where is that usually posted? Just in general? Or on the frontpage?
If I post something Oct 1st will it be allowed in the Halloween flash contest on NG? I asked in the flash forum yesterday, nobody responded. < If not, what's the first day I can post a flash for it to be allowed in the contest?
Sorry, meant Halloween flash contest.
If I submit a game the 1st of October, will it count in the October flash contest?
It's so funny that I am literally bumping this now.

Wow...
I just wrote this, it took about 10 minutes. Criticize!
The Topic without a Reply
Why, oh why
Does it have no reply?
Am I blind in the eye?
Has NewGrounds turned shy?
From page 6 to page 7,
Page 9 through 11.
I can't figure out
What this all is about!
I've waited so long.
My bones are not strong.
Refreshing the page
Is making me age!
As I scroll through the forum,
I get a brainstorm.
My heart starts to thump!
It's a word called BUMP!
You are better off just making a poem that doesn't rhyme than cutting up the poem like that. For this poem, it would be a lot better that way.

Go to MS FUCKING PAINT, and paste your picture and RESIZE IT UNTIL T IS 46x46 in the lower right hand corner.
I don't think he has one. He wanted someone to make one for him and he just specified the size so he could use it as an icon. I made him one, so you are wasting your time posting here. :P
Yeah, audio is a killer. Convert all WAV to MP3 and compress, also, if it is a "good" flash you can contact the Fulps and ask them to extend your file size limit.
I doubt anyone is going to move in with you in Australia... I mean, if there are people who can't pay bills, they aren't going to be animating much right?
I guess there aren't any real women in this world then.
And in the game you find a journal with all the pages ripped out except for one or two, and I don't really know what I should put in it. Can you guys help? I want it to be something creepy, but because it is like 20 years old, it won't be related to the zombie outbreak. There is a corpse in the room that the journal is found in, so it could be related to that I guess. I'll include a pic of what I have. I'll put your name in the credits if you help!
(no, don't actually try to put it on the page or anything, I will do it)
Oh and specify any specific marks, like words scribbled out or something.
And if it is a really short story, maybe it can hint to why the pages were torn out.
Remember: creepy! (nothing psychotic and no excessive language please)
There are a few spelling errors. You might want to proof read it.
(like "feel" instead of "fell")
It's okay though, it does get a little boring. You should give better character descriptions.
If the person who makes the game/movie could see how many people have voted 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Don't you guys think that would be a good idea?

Each episode 1-2 mins.
There will be 3 constant characters + 1-2 new characters each episode.
We need at least 8 episodes.
Please send your reel and pricing to a.vasilkin@gmail.com
You are definitely going to have to explain your project more if you wish to find an animator. We have no idea whatsoever what your project is about. Also, you should be the one that says how much $$, not the animator.

Well, I searched for a ragdoll tutorial, I couldn't quite find a good one, perhaps someone else can link you to one.
I meant "on" not "no" lol

I've prepared a line for each of your lines...
1. hello
2. I don't know what interactive buddy is
3. with ragdolls
4. I don't have the code
5. I don't know what you are talking about.
NO a more serious note, you need to show us what the code is and explain your situation better, all I can tell you now is : ___________________
What you need to do is make sure all .wav files are converted to .mp3's, and try adding a quality button.
