I would say a 20 year difference possibly. Most games referenced to being retro today were from the 80's to begin with. Then again, it all depends on ones opinion.

My pet peeve is people using the word "Pet peeve".

It has some potential I think. It also takes me back to when I had a PSone! But yea, it's not terrible. I would try to finish it but definitely change parts of it and polish it up. It isn't anything special, that's what I'm trying to get to. You need to make it more than "just another platformer".

Sorry, but we can't retrieve much information from you saying this "thing" opened up asking to run "something". Trying posting some pictures or re-explaining your situation, unless someone else can answer your question right.

Hay,

I am interested in this collab, and the band isn't bad either. Sum 41's from my hometown too! So i'd like to take part 3 if that's good? Just let me know.

Smart.

OH Really?

Hmmmm

Here goes,

I had a little collab idea come to me yesterday as I was listening to some music at home. Essentially, this collab is called the "King For A Day" collab. I was listening to the song King For A Day (Green Day), and thought it'd be a nice idea to have each person involved in the collab create their own part about an upside of being a "King For A Day".

Now the parts created would each have one upside, and that whole part is dedicated to showing that this is a great thing to have being King. They'd create a character, and showcase that upside in their part. Upsides could include:

-Infinite food!
-Huge house/mansion
-people waiting upon you
-security

And many more! It's all about imagination. In addition, in between parts a black screen or some sort on transition would take effect and text would appear saying something like: Upside 1: Food.

Good Idea??

You just save the day. Happy Birthday Roodee.

THIS HERE'S THE MANTAGE!

I love this video by a group of guys called Barats ans Bereta. This features a montage of extremely manly things!!

This is an amazing video most of you have probably already seen on the YouTube front page, but I ha to post it.

HUMAN TETRIS

Great, I should have a bit of a preview by later today.

if it isn't too late already, I was wondering is I could have a spot please? Haven't joined a real collab before, so I'd like to give it a go. My BA is also 3.02.

Thanks,
Smartdog

Merry Christmas! I got a new Monitor for my PC, The Orange Box, GH 3, and a Munny!

Hay,

I thought I might as well take my question to Newgrounds, cause who doesn't really like Half Life? Anyways, I received The Orange Box for Christmas and have been furiously playing Portal and Team Fortress 2. So my question would be: Out of the Half Life games in the Orange Box, which one is undoubtedly the most fun to play?

Thanks for the HALP.

I think I may get down to business with this. Though please refrain from laughing at my un-deep voice!

Hey Newgrounders,

Welcome to The Batting Average Collab!

I have never hosted a collab before, and I just have the BA. Though in terms of improvement for me, I'm doing much better in flash at the time (just taken a break to do some art). Anyways, before you get started we need to go over all the key things you need to know!

""Theme""
The theme. This collab is all about a character in your short animation chasing, and working so hard to get that 3.0 batting average he needs. So you're going to be animating some sort of character literally chasing around a 3.0 batting average. The BA could simply be 3.0 in text with legs, or whatever your imagination produces. As long as people will think it's a 3.0 batting average that's fine.\

Now, in terms of animation I don't just want two guys running back and forth, in one spot with a white background. I want it interesting, with colors, catchy characters, smooth animation, and a good background (unless you have a good excuse!). I'm not asking for miracles, but for your best effort.

""Requirements And Rules""
Ok, here are a few rules and requirements you must have or follow to participate and have a happy (lol) collab. First, I need your batting average to be at least 3.0 to participate here. If your BA is lower and you have an excuse good enough for me I may still let you in!

Second, if possible I need to see some of your previous work to have a quick glance at and view. If you don't have anything to show me, you'd better whip something up for me to check out.

::RULES::
1. Be responsible, don't spam and post responsibly.
2. Only preview work worthy of previewing. Noby wants to see a 1 second piece of work.
3. No spamming this thread or killing others artwork they've submitted. Constructive criticism.
4. Only bump if the thread is in true need.
5. If you are inactive from the collab for a while, you may be deleted from the collab.
6. Have some fun!

""SPECIFICATIONS""
Background: White (make j00r own)
Document size: 600x300 (wide screen)
Frame Rate: 24 fps
Length: 10-30 seconds
What's Prohibited!!: Any crews like the clocks, pornography, sprites.

::::::.NO SOUND WHATSOEVER IN YOUR PARTS... THERE WILL BE MUSIC.:::::::

Additional Notes
try organizing your symbols saying something such as: Smartdog_car. It may help me in the future. I am also taking song requests, so if you have an idea post a link to a video or whatever.

For any questions, PM me. If it is simple just post it here. Happy Animating!

Smartdog

As an animator, I have been having trouble with some beginner AS stuff. I have a simple code:

on (keyPress "<Space>") {
gotoAndPlay(3);
}

This code works just fine, for when I press space and it takes me to frame 3 of that movieclip. My problem is, that to play the full movieclip on frame 3 you have to hold down space. Can someone show me a way that I can just tap space and the movie clip will simply play?

Thanks,
Smartdog

You can't decrease, with nothing...

Enough links to the store yet Tom?

This has been puzzling me for a while, I just never thought to really ask. I am eventually going to be making a flash with a fair bit a swearing in it. I was curious as to how I could take out the swear sound and place in a censored beep, without hearing the swear word at all. I don't want everyone here ranting and saying "Just leave it the same!", well I would like to change it.

AnY HaLps?

This sucked in at least over an hour of my time... Tell me what you think, there's a green blotch because Shockwave crashed on me! GAI.

Not a whole lot of inspiration here, but this is extremely original. Adult Swim...

This is what he does, he sits on you!

I honestly don't usually brainstorm. Maybe I should, but I go right to storyboard cause I usually already have somewhat of an idea.

Well, no need for the language from Vengeance, but you're right. If it interests you, you should do it, and anyways your artwork is pretty kick-ass as well. Sorry to kind of flame your idea.

~Smartdog

It seems a bit like a whole lot is going on at once, and it may be confusing. Making a better copy of course would make it better, but anyways, there may be too much there.

Oh and of course it's Zombie related. Try something more original buddy, instead of the one idea that hits just about 70% of Newgrounders minds first thing.

I was just curious as to how co-authoring was going to work, or is there no co-authoring?

The inventory area kind of thing looks a bit like Diablo :P.... Meh, looks kick-ass.

I am in for this collab. It's a great message of course, and would at least have a real good point. I will get started tonight with your confirmation, unless we can just start.

~smartdog

What's the collab about? What would be good to animate? Since there's only 1 spot left, I was just thinking...
