Hey guys. My current laptop freezes on me daily. That's right. Sometimes more than once. It's very old and it's a piece of junk.

I have to actually choose between internet and Flash, because if both are open? It freezes.

Now then. I love animation but I am being held back by this crummy comp.

Which is why I ask you guys:

What computer should I get?

Im definitely getting a Mac. Because Im getting Flash CS4 for Mac with a student discount.

I was thinking of getting an iMac. I just need to know if that's a good choice.

See I need to be sure of what Im doing before I spend $1600+ on a new computer.

I need to know if an iMac will run good and last long, if it's worth it, or if there's a better choice.

A Mac Pro is WAY too expensive and I dont think a Mac Mini is capable.

iMac seems like the best choice.

But is it?

Looks awesome.

Im actually about to go buy Castle Crashers. I was playing the demo AND I MUST HAVE IT.

So yeah. Coolios.

WOO!!!

My first award! I dont care if it's 5th, it's still an award!

YES!

WOOOOOO!

Okay Im done.

Collabs need some sort of protection from people like this. If you commit to do part of a collab, you shouldn't back out. Anyway, how far along are we? I want to see the completed product.

Well parts are due the 25th. So we'll see where we are then.

Seriously? What happened to March 25th.

*sigh* Whatever it takes to make this collab even better, I suppose.

Awesome! Do you have an animation class like I do?

What kind of computer?

Oh and what cartoon are you doing?

Are you serious? I save like after every keyframe! I've lost a few files from that kinda thing.

Trust me. SAVE CONSTANTLY.

Oh and for big file sizes use sendspace.com or something.

Aw, man. That's too bad.

No hard feelings, man. Thanks for letting us know.

Hope things work out for ya.

Weird. The quote thing didnt work...

:: but the fix was a copy/paste solution that would have taken maybe five seconds.

Be that as it may you should still be able to make things easy enough so that Wam doesnt have to do work for you.

Please fix the code fjgamer because Wam was telling me that your .fla wasnt working.

*sigh*

I just dealt with someone like you on another thread. Dont even start it, man.

Hope everyone likes... but if you don't, fuck off.

Dude, what the heck? Why are you saying stuff like that? You know it only makes you look bad in the eyes of the organizers. You know...Wam and MYSELF.

Seriously, what the heck.

Fjgamer I like it! Nice stuff there.

Cant wait to see the part!

And I actually started my first part at 12, too. Haha.

At 3/14/09 11:21 AM, i-i-idiot wrote: Sounds cool. :D Im working on the animation right now, and once I have a bit done, Ill post it on spamtheweb.

Awesome.

And Wam! We DO need a scene select. It's vital for collabs. I will help you out with it. And yes we need that Author page.

So the menu should have like "Play" "Select" "About" "Authors"

Something like that.

But yeah once we get all parts you and I can decide on all the visuals and scripting and stuff.

I've made quite a few scene select menus.

So yeah, people! This is getting better every day!

Im working on a flash right now but hopefully when that's done I'll post a pic of my 2nd part.

No way!? IM a Californian! Haha! It is a bit cold in the mornings.

And yes we ARE weather stupid. I will admit. I like the rain though. And the cold.

Well I said how to fix it so just remember that next time.

I'm taking longer than expected with my scene, too.

I will put in another couple hours of work today, and I'll try to get this done tomorrow. The scene features both Buttercup and Bubbles. I got someone to voice both characters, but don't expect anything amazingly accurate.

It's fine. Id rather see quality parts over something rushed. If we're not done by the deadline then we'll discuss it.

And if you think your voices for them are inaccurate, then you should hear MY audio for my PPG part.

And calicard, submissions do not get counted off for music dont worry. NOW HURRY UP AND SUBMIT YOURS. >:/

So...music IS allowed now?

Im confused.

And I WOULD finish mine but IM NEVER able to voice act recently.

Obviously you should know that it's hard to voice act with people around you.

I havent had time to myself in a while.

Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow!

I guess ill post an image of it so far, so here it is:

It seems pretty good, but next time show us what's on screen only.

When you export choose "Document size" instead of "minimum image area".

It looks a bit odd seeing what's off screen.

It seems pretty cool.

What is expected of the artist?

13 more days until parts are due.

Dont rush. If you need a little time make sure to tell me or Wam-bo.

Do any of you have any progress to show?

Pictures? swf's?

This collab is going to be awesome.

Ha ha! Maturity. Or the lack there of...

Now then! Im glad that's over!

And I do mean it's over.

By that I mean I will not be replying to any more stupid comments from unnamed users.

Let's get back on topic people, before Supa Peeves thinks less of us.

Also I've written a new post that I believe to have some interesting subject matter.

Stay awesome, guys.

also do NOT reply to this, the thread is now getting OFF topic!

Hmmm....if YOU'RE a /b/tard then that sounds to me like you'd have to be ON YOUR COMPUTER ALOT.

And considering you just admitted it must mean that, by your definition of course, that YOU have no life.

You're right. This thread IS getting off topic. Why? Flamers like you. People who just keep flaming, then saying let's stay on topic. You are provoking people. It's as though you WANT this thread to be locked. Honestly.

It's sad, really. That you would judge others' lives without taking your own into account.
