It's one day, go do something else other than be on Newgrounds, it's not very difficult.

That's true, I really just don't like the series.

My Girlfriends Posters - She has a shit taste in music, Parkway Drive, Bring me the Horizon. Fuck that shit.

Parkway Drive is awesome, so go suck a dick.

Nah, I'm straight dude so this would piss me off even more.

Just for my amusement what is your favorite bands?

Tough question, either SOAD, Static-X or Fear Factory

Conservatives - Always and forever I hate them, there will never be a day that I wish to curb stomp them all.

Okay, sort of agree.

How do they even get any votes. How are they in power here in the UK? I'll never get the stupidity of the general public.

Congrats Spretznaz. Keep up the good work mate. I have to agree with what Tails said. As a retired member of the NGPD I have taken a great interest in your activities here and have been greatly impressed. I'm sure you will do some great things here.

It was Pico day. I was on for quite a while and didn't really come across anything that was that brilliant to be honest, but then again as I have stated before I'm not the biggest fan of the series.

It's both as they are both owned by the same company.

The closest game to me is about 17 miles, I cba to go that far for games.

Now that is too far to get some cheap games. I gave up games about 10 months ago as I realised that I had a PS3 for around 7 months and only racked up about 15 hours gameplay. It hit me like a brick that i'd rather have the money for all my consoles, so I traded them all in.

Get some shoe polish and do a print of her left paw then I want to get that tattoed onto my own left hand, just below the wrist.

Probably won't look that great but its something I feel I need to do so in spirit she'll be with me still.

Thoughts?

My mate has that tattoo, we laughed at him. Mainly because his dog died as a puppy so it has a small paw and the words Pup (I can't remember it's name) 2011 - 2011. What a fool.

I'm big on tattoos, they are basically what I'm all about and I've never been able to justify a pet tattoo, from the kinda creepy pet portrait tattoo to your idea. Don't get me wrong I love animals I just don't think I could give up space on my body for a memorial to my dog or whatever. But if you want it go for it.

You're telling me, I keep trying to start some cool clubs over the time that I have been a member but nobody seems interested in my interests (tattoos and piercings mainly). For now I have given up on creating a crew as it persistently pisses me off. One day though, one day I'll think of a crew idea that is simply awesome and I'll be like "yeah nobody has done this before". The idea I mean, there are quite a few awesome crew ideas that exist and I'm not disputing that.

So that is one thing that is really getting under my skin at the moment but there are many others, like:

Buffering - The Internet simply is never fast enough.

Pico Day - I simply don't like the game, I find the character boring and now I have to deal with a whole day of him.

My Girlfriends Posters - She has a shit taste in music, Parkway Drive, Bring me the Horizon. Fuck that shit.

This is merely a place where you can complain about whatever you want, and talk about how miserable you are.

Good, good. I'm quite the cynic if you haven't guessed by now so I'll be posting in here rather frequently. Long live being miserable about life. Well not long live, can't be arsed living forever. I'm 20 and sick of the shit.

But I bet that someone's already made something like this.

To my knowledge nobody has created a thread like this before, you dick, coming up with a fresh idea.

Yes, we'll have to be thorough tomorrow to ensure nothing illegal or rule breaking makes its way through.

I bet that somebody tries to pass off the original Pico game as their own.

There's usually a flood of flashes associated with the various days on NG, and without the whistle system, it'll be easier for these to fall through the cracks.

Tom really does need to get that flash mods system sorted out or more and more stuff is going to get through.

Plus it's saturday and I'll be busy, so I can't keep my usual close eye on the Portal.

I'll be on for quite alot of the day I think, so I'l be keeping a careful watch over The Portal.

I think the reason you might not be a Pico fan is because you have to put yourself in the context. Pico was created in early 2000 when graphics were crap, and the options for flash games were few and far in between. At the time it was innovating and way cool. It might not look that way now, because of the way flash games look now (the standards have improved a ton), but Pico is truly a piece of history for NG and it's a big piece at that. There wasn't anything like it before.

I have heard that it was pretty ground breaking but it's not the graphics or gameplay compared to modern flash games that puts me off as much as the general game itself. I just never got into it I'm sad to say. Then again I've always liked my dark humour to be more dark and less cartoony.

At 4/27/12 06:22 PM, SpiffyMasta wrote: It's probably because we have less shovelware being submitted, and when it is it's been getting deleted.

And thank God for that.

Also, everyone is saving up for Pico Day tomorrow.

Sorry for the double post and everything guys but it has to be pointed out that I think this has probably been the slowest day in The Portal for some time. I've been online for quite a few hours now and there has been hardly any under judgement flashes.

You have to remember to not rely on author comments.

To be honest I didn't even view the flash I was simply handing out advice. Obviously if he hasn't posted it here before then it is not abusive. I guessed that Knuckstrike had already checked and I was too busy to do any portal work at that time.

I really didn't like the live action sequences in it. I found them to be cringe worthy at best. I'm guessing that is what they were going for but it just seemed like overkill after a while.

I'm not too sure about that to be honest mate. True we will be losing all those dress-up games that take the user under an hour to simple slightly change it and re-upload it twice a day but we will still be getting those horrible spam flashes that just get through, basically our work is never done. But we stand strong! Let us get back to The Portal and send them to Hell.

Sorry, watched too many movies this week.

Yep, Tom has taken alot of them out. Some of them got uploaded as far back as 2010. He's been doing it for the past couple of days now, personally I'm glad to see it go.

I always thought that the medical marijuana was weak as shit. I've never tried it as I live in the UK and I'm pretty sure they got rid of it here a couple of years ago (could be wrong). I heard that it was just a mix of different strains put together and general bad cuts.

And it's like, crayon green.

You mean the colour? That's pretty awesome. I wonder if you put food colouring in a weed plants water if it would go that colour. Then you could have any colour you wanted. I'd go for purple but thats already out there so probably like a cyan.

We can only hope. I think that we were all sick of the genericness of those games, as it turns out so was Tom. I wonder what the person who made the first ever one would think about all this and his/her creation being slightly altered then spread across the Internet in a vein attempt to make some quick cash? Personally, I'd be quite pissed off.

Not bad, seems I got 6 blams which isn't too bad either.

I still have no idea if my blams went up, I guess I should keep a closer eye on how many I have but I like to basically ignore them and get a surprise when to roster comes out, this is unless I know i'm coming up to a milestone.

Well seeing as you are bitching about the lack of comments to your thread I'll give it a go. By the way I'm guessing that you ment users that submit flashes when you said author.

Favorite Newer NG Author
Splicker - He wasn't around for long but he made four great flashes and I still hold out hope that he'll return to give us more from his Blinklife series.

Favorite Older NG Author
DHaynes - When I first joined this site I watched a few of his animations and it makes me sad that he hasn't done anything for the site in several years now.

I'm sure that everybody is, except the people who submitted them. Are we getting extra blams does anybody know? I havn't really been keeping track of my stats so I couldn't really say.

That account was spamming right? with that many nearly identical games it was close to it. Cookie cutter flashes. Wonder how may more will end up there?

A good majority of the cookie cutter account submissions likely will in the coming days and weeks. While there is almost 1,300 entries in there today it still doesn't beat the record for most blams which was 1,819 on June 25, 2004. Who knows though, might hit the record sometime with the cookie cutter submissions being removed.

Do you think that it is wade going on a mass deleting spree again. I think I remember him doing so back in later 2010 - early 2011. I remember chatting with the NGPD lot about how they all had around 16 unexplained blams appear on there stats.

If you want people to acknowledge that your art is higher quality but you have to tone it down to post here simply upload it to your dumping site or your profile, upload a lower quality one here and then post a link to it here. People aren't going to trawl NG for your piece. We are simply too lazy for that.

He could have gone down a new style route or maybe it's a hacked account. As long as they aren't stolen or abusive then it's all good I guess.

Provided the user actually made it there really shouldn't be any problems. Would be nice if they actually provided a translation though instead of copying and pasting the game info from wherever they have got their latest foreign title games.

Fair enough, it's humours to me that it kinda hasn't worked as for everywhere else on the site other then the portal the characters haven't worked (as can be seen in the description and the link that I posted before).
