Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

i went to watch themovie, even though they dried up for me a long long long time ago. i didnt like it, it was boring. same characters doing the same stupid stuff. it was as if i had just watched 3 or 4 episodes ran back to back with out commercials. they should have saved the money and cut this into episodes for the tv series.

damn you matt for getting my money!!!

I know most people think they have to have the new stuff for it to be fun and brag about it. But a few mounths back i hooked up my snes and my sega genesis, since then those are the games ive played my gamecube and playstaion are disconected and collecting dust on the shelves.

Plus im planning on buying an Nes a Turbogfx 16 and an atari 2600 in the next few mounths.

So I just wonder who else loves the old games more than the new games. and in my opionion the line is drawn around the year 2000 when the ps2 xbox and gamecube came out.

so give me your thoughts flames rants ideals watever you think. i want your opinions

does this mean you will be buying 8 track tapes instead of cds then?

i get where you are coming from up until nintendo intruduced the wii my wife was always stuck on regular nintendo, while i played on an xbox. now that we have a wii she buys games for the regular nintendo from the online store for the wii.

i only like some of the older games and that is just for nostalgic purposes anyway. i love to see how graphically intense they can make a game now, just wish they would learn how to write better endings to most games.

your name wouldnt happen to be lewis would it? i can see him saying something like this.

man its 4:47 my time in the morning on a sunday/monday no less who the crap is going to be posting at this time? sundays are always a slow day anyway. if you want some blam points right now just toss together something stupid and post it up, while i dont condone this practice you could still earn some points.

unicron was the planet.. galvatron was megatrons new name.

and since you braught it up i was disappointed that they used the galvatron megatron in the new tansfromers movie. i was hoping to see good old old school megatron in the transformers movie... and then when they first show him i was like. WTF... thats galvatron.. not megatron.

if they were going to use the galvatron body they should have just named him galvatron, even though they were/are typically the same character. the galvatron megatron is just slightly meaner then the oldschool megatron.

the thing i hate most about the "sex offender" justice is when it happens to a kid now days, and by this this i mean the following:

i think it is appropriate to charge and convict an adult with a sex crime.

i also think it is appropriate to charge a juvenile if they are about a certain age, depending on the crime.

what i dont like is when this so called justice puts a 7 or 8 year old child in juvenile detention until he is 16 because he showed some random little girl on the playground his willie or his butt. that my friend is wrong. my mother worked at a juvenile detetion that was specific to sex offenders and there were people who beyond the shadow of a doubt belonged there, and then there were those that truely should not. juveniles that are convicted of a sex offense, depending on the crime of course, need to have counceling not jail time.

just a little note too, just because you are convicted of a sex crime when you are a juvenile doesnt mean that your record will be expunged when you turn 18. unless your conviction states you only have to regester for a certain period of time, it is stuck with you like glue from now till doomsday.

best way to get a wii is to call walmart @ 12:00 midnight on monday night/ tuesday morning. walmart always gets/ sets up new electronics on tuesday 12:01 for video release day. it only took me about 1 month to get mine after it came out. bad thing about walmart is they only get 10 to 12 at a time and are usually gone the same day they come in.

thats why im trying to figure out who holds the rights, so i can ask to use it.

am i wrong?

i beLIEve the word you are looking for is "transcendental"

does anyone know who has the rights to the small music sample that plays at the beginning of most uzi unions flash. i'm wondering about the one that plays when the uzitopia sign is passing by the screen. if it was made by a member can someone direct me to it... please and thank you

yea i watched it. was pretty funny. got it on tivo, today it will be on my ipod. will more than likely see tones of paradies on here... hope ackbar makes an ackbar parady.

the only thing that makes me mad about this movie is it is live action... it will probably blow like garfield.

man that was lame. i didnt finish watching it because the audio on that video sucks.

we actually talked about this call while on duty tonight. in a room of 6 dispatchers everyone agreed that the dispatchers that argued with the callers should be repremended or suspended pending a 911 audio revision by supervisors and the director. we all also agreed that given proper information the female may have been able to be transported to another facility and again it really relies on the rules and regulations we must follow to not be sued.

my wife works at one of the other dispatch centers in my county and they have a policy that states of someone's life is at risk at the current facility they are at they can dispatch an ambulance to that hospital to transport that patient to the closest secondary hospital. the 911 dispatch director for that center actually sent out an email to all the dispatchrs in his office to let them know that they should review the s.o.g. (standard operating guideline) to see what the protocal is for that type of situation. my dispatch doesnt have an s.o.g. like that because the primary ambulance service lies within the 3 major cities that are in my county which service the outerlieing 13 smaller cities with ambulance services.

in this particular situation i can only speculate that the l.a. county dispatch doesnt have such a protocal for re- transporting a patient when care is not met. i feel the primary fault still falls on the hospital at about 90% and the dispatch takes up the rest at 10% for receiving numerious calls and not attempting to contact someone that could tell them what should have been done.

ok this is a touchy situation.

i am a 911 dispatch supervisor and i read this article. i have also listened to countless calls and seen several news stories on simuliar situations.

in this instance the way the 911 dispatcher handled the call was inapporpriate, you should never ever argue with a caller and demean them like he did. Most of the fault of this womans death falls on the hospital itself for not caring for her. secondary fault is minimal toward the dispatcher because there are rules and regulations when it comes to situations like this.

my department dispatches fire police and ems for an entire county, minus 4 cities that have thier own p.s.a.p. (public safety access point) if we had this same call it would first be transfered to the city that the hospital was in. second of she is already in a hospital there is not much a dispatcher can do about it. responsibility for transport to a secondary hospital falls on the shoulders of the hospital she is in not the 911 dispatch that she called. why isnt anyone questioning the boyfriend of the woman in the hospital, why didnt he take her to anothe racility. If you are going to blame the dispatcher and what to hang him out to dry why isnt the boyfriend of the female held to the same standard he could have transported her to another acility as well.

rules and regulations have to be followed or we fall into liability for suit. There are a lot of time that "you're damned if you do and domaned if you don't" if that dispatcher was one of my crew i would dismiss him for the night and have a review done to make sure this type of harassment did not go on.

i think the review of the hopsital is exactly what is necessary in this matter, if the hospital "fails to care" then it doesnt need to be a hospital to begin with.

Please don't let a few bad dispatchers and incidents sway you from calling 911 if you have an emergency... we are there to help you to the best of our ability.

to reply to an earlier comment about calling the police dept instead of 911 for an emergency.. in my county you probably would get my dispatchers anyway and we would send someone out. If you called the hospital directly they would refer you to my department and we would send someone out to help you, thus adding more time to a time critical situation. that mistake could cost someone thier life and you could be held to the same standard of "not caring" as the dispatcher from this incident or the cheif or surgery of the hospital in question.

I was just wondering...

there are a great deal of authors on this site that create millions of interesting and outstanding flash toons, does anyone here think about the possibility of having some of these submissions available to ipod users. Sure i have a few showbiz newsy news submissions but they never update that stuff.

i think it would be great if there was a way to have say your top 10 on your iPod video, if you have one. i would take most of my top 20 if i could.

tell me what you guys think, good or bad.

peace out peoples!!!

the drawing of the box and nice is really good. did you draw it on your computer or did you just happen to come across it somewhere?

well if you look at it this way... he did what he set out to do, you can't get into the drive.

did you try to uninstalling the program?

Slow Four-some... let the good times roll.

looks like i'm a fucking awesome cross dressing midgit. wow the things you learn in life. hope my family doesnt turn their backs on me when they find out.

i was just wondering at the beginning of Twilight Princess when you first enter the Faron Woods you come to a large open area that is a dried up lake bed. In the center of this area is what appears to be a secret zone or special section.

i run up the cliff edge to an outcropping and there are 2 stumped trees that you jump on. I can only make it to the first stumped tree but no matter what i've tried i keep jumping over the second stumped tree. Does anyone know a good way to get to the center section by jumping onto these trees.

and yes i know this is not a gamefaq forum, nor is it a nintendo forum, but i figured since we are all newground friends it would be easier to get info here than anywhere else.

plus i am a member of gamspot and i have been to gamefaq and no one seems to mention this area in the words. i was just wondering if it was just a time waster with no results or if there is actually a prize inside this particular zone.

i am still having the vcam problem. even though i got the camera from the link everyone insists on saying works. i get the same error every time. i even constructed a new vcam with the instructions from a tutorial i had. i tested it in a new flash document just panning it across and jpeg and what not with no problem. i then copied it to my flash i am making now and i again got the same damn error. BTW i am doing all of this in flash 8 pro. i dont know what is going on but i have not been able to use the vcam in my new project yet. i have been tweening everything to make the zoom effect so far but it just doesnt seem to look the same.

if anyone can help me fix it, whithout telling me to go get the vcam from that site that has the woods with the waterfall in it i would love the help. i have tried that vcam as well and it does not work in my flash document either.

i would hate to have to start a restructure in a new flash document now either, my current ton is 24 scenes and i dont think i would be able to transfer all that to a new document with out screwing it all up.

i was just wondering... does it normally take a while for your newly passed submissions to show in your profile? ionly have 1 but i was wondering why it says i still have none on my profile...

i got the same error and i have looked high and low on how to fix it. i went to the sham site and got the original vcam form there tested and it didnt work either. the vcam worked in flash mx and i did a new one for flash 8 but still it is a no go. every post on newgrounds points to the waterfall fla and it is of course no good either, it works in that damn fla but not in mine.

better explaination i guess;

1. i draw my first frame an convert this to a movie clip

2. i open the movie clip and add more frames of animation into it. most of them so far have been walking cycles which are about 6 to 8 frames stretched into about 16 to 20 total frames.

3. i close the movie clip and place it in my scene where it should be and adjust the frame length to how long i need it to run.

4. control alt enter to test the scene.

5 the scene plays but all the movie clips that contain things drawn with the pencil tool and the line tool do not show in the scene.

the only thing i have found that fixes this is to draw each thing and modify> convert lines to fills... only problem with this is if you draw a complicated item it deletes a lot of the lines when you modify it to convert the lines to fills, therefor i have to redraw part of the item and convert it again, and it sometimes redeletes more lines....... this is very tedious.

just so you know my backgrounds that i make are the same way. single frame symbols with lines and pencil not showing either.

i just wanted to know if any one else came across this. i have been working on the same project for 3 months on and off because of this. let me tell you animating the same movie clips over and over is becoming a pain in my ass.

please someone help me.

i was just wondering if anyone could help me with something. i am still in the midst of furios creation and have run into a small problem. when i make movie clips (symbols) that contain motion they dont show in the final product.

more detailed explaination:

1. i draw the basic shapes using the pencil or line tool.
2. i fill them with color.
3. i add several other frames to creat motion.
4. save symbol as movie clip and add it to my movie.
5. when i play said scene or movie none of the symbols that were drawn are shown.

why is it that symbols using the pencil or line tool doesnt animate like the brush tool or converting the lines to fills? or is there a problem with what im doing?

any and all help will be appreciated.

man i thought i was going crazy. i clicked and watched that flash when it was in the portal and right after i gave it a 5 it disappeared. i thought they just took it down. So much for far game.

Talk about Shamless Self Promotion.... but i guess when you own a website you can put whatever you want on the main page.

It is a hilarious flash none the less. Leave it to tom and his buddies to make something so gay, so funny.

dont know if you fixed it or not but it looks like you last paragraph is different then what i use.
if you havent fixed it try this:

function camControl():Void {
parentColor.setTransform(camColor.getTransfor m());
var scaleX:Number = sX/this._width;
var scaleY:Number = sY/this._height;
_parent._x = cX-(this._x*scaleX);
_parent._y = cY-(this._y*scaleY);
_parent._xscale = 100*scaleX;
_parent._yscale = 100*scaleY;
}
function resetStage():Void {
var resetTrans:Object = {ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0, aa:100, ab:0};
parentColor.setTransform(resetTrans);
_parent._xscale = 100;
_parent._yscale = 100;
_parent._x = 0;
_parent._y = 0;
}
// make frame invisible
this._visible = false;
// Capture stage parameters
var oldMode:String = Stage.scaleMode;
Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit";
var cX:Number = Stage.width/2;
var cY:Number = Stage.height/2;
var sX:Number = Stage.width;
var sY:Number = Stage.height;
Stage.scaleMode = oldMode;
// create color instances for color
// transforms (if any).
var camColor:Color = new Color(this);
var parentColor:Color = new Color(_parent);
// Make the stage move so that the
// v-cam is centered on the
// viewport every frame
this.onEnterFrame = camControl;
// Make an explicit call to the camControl
// function to make sure it also runs on the
// first frame.
camControl();
// If the v-cam is ever removed (unloaded)
// the stage, return the stage to the default
// settings.
this.onUnload = resetStage;

^^^^ thats the code that i got and it seems to work fine.

i have both of the the newest flash and shockwave players. there has to be something else wrong.

i got a really good run tutorial from cartoonsmart.
