That's tf2 btw. I really got depressed seeing how much time I wasted on that game

in fact, what happened to my iron chef suggestion? Taste Plating and Originality. How delicious is that penicorn? 10/10.

You don't have to be "better" than someone with more experience. You can still win with originality and creativity.

Use Bob to get that medal, he's got the best physical skills for the job. Keep in mind that every killed Zombie counts, even those killed by Wadolfs lazor.

god no. Bob is a slow fucker and you're still going to take a ton of damage from random hits the zombies make. Tried doing it with bob and filed about a dozen times. Tried with April and got the medal with my second attempt

but I don't really have much of an addiction with medal collecting any more. If they start meaning something more than "stat whoring" I'll come back. If they delete all the medals and start from scratch but let only the best games have medals...I'll come back.

Do you mean a Mini-Computer? A bare-bone system that is tiny, compact, has no display, supports many ports and is small enough to carry around and be able to use in conduction of a separate stand-alone monitor. If the that description fits the bill; look no further.

Not exactly what I had in mind but sounds better since it would be even smaller

Mini-Computers @ Newegg.

broken link? I'd really like to see what you're talking about

That's quite the opposite. Macbooks are laptops that love to eat all the money in your wallet in return for crummy looks.

we I do hear they're pretty bad, but it was just an example. Wacom is thinking about making an affordable touchpad screen, and I thought maybe it would be possible to have a keyboard on it as well. Then you could just plug it into your computer and sit on your couch with it.

Now I'm confused.
- Briefcases have power supplies and power outlets? Plug what in what?
- This is for someone who carries both the small system and a laptop?
- What bag? IF anything, portal electronics would be carried in a sturdier packaging than a bag.

Meant like an actual computer in the bag/packaging/briefcase/whatever which you plug into an outlet (or have it run on a battery, but that would probably use up too much power). Then plug in something along the lines of a wacom cintiq and browse the web or whatever.

You are aware that you can order replacement LCD displays for nearly any brand and model of laptops out there. It will be anywhere from 100~300$ depending on the LCD type and size but there are companies on the web that have warehouses with just individual (commonly broken) parts for laptops.

yeah replacements, but if I mess up while installing it, that's 100-300$ down the crapper. First laptop broke on my fault. I dropped it from about 3 feet and it just completely fucked up the screen, although they really should've tested that shit so it can stand a little more. Second one just kept giving me a black screen after I turned it on and it started loading the OS. It happened the day I went on vacation (which is why I can't really give a lot of info about specifics) so there wasn't much time to figure out what was going on.

graphics card isn't good enough (don't know what it is atm).

What's causing the game not to boot or what a graphics card is? Because a graphics card is simply a piece of hardware responsible for processing of graphic data. As for the game launching problem: It's typically the fault of the graphics card not being good enough as you stated already, but there is always a small chance that you might of simply not updated your DirectX or some other piece of software in relation to the gpu.

I don't even get any errors when the game fails to launch. I went to the "can i run it" site and I passed the recommended requirements, except under the video/sound cards it said it shouldn't really matter. I checked the requirements for that game and it showed a bunch of video cards that are supported. The one I had didn't match any of them so I'm assuming that's the reason I can't play it. Splinter cell always had problems with requirements. Either some textures are missing or it doesn't work on certain OSs or in this case, the video card isn't good enough. The game launched on my laptop (albeit it lagged a shit load) so I thought it would easily work on a desktop.

I would shit myself for regressing a year

Does anyone know if there exists a product that's a laptop alternative but runs like a desktop computer? Thinking something along the line of the skinny macbook (macbook lite?) that has nothing in it except things that actually make the screen and keyboard work (which I'm assuming that's exactly what that macbook is) and you plug it into a briefcase which is your actual computer. You're usually sitting with your laptop anyway and you pack it in a bag when you're done right? why not just make it work like a desktop then? Basically a giant adapter.

This just came in mind because I had two laptops whose screens broke so now I just got the desktop that I mostly built from scratch not long ago. I went with AMD, quad core, built in video and sound card, 2 gig ram and a 250 gig external hardrive that I owned already. Cost around $300 because everything besides the barebone I got from a store that gives away some old stuff and a few other things from my brother. Runs all the important games perfectly (tf2+css) and runs stalker without that many problems (occasionally lags). Tried running Splinter Cell DA, but it never launches, probably because my graphics card isn't good enough (don't know what it is atm).

I'm tired of these monkey-fighting snakes on this monday to friday plane!

the ads are already in your userpage, but I doubt you're going to get more than a few cents, if any. You have to be extremely popular on Newgrounds, even I don't have more than 15 cents

I believe all mods are doable on Newgrounds

and I think they had something else in there around the time the art portal was released

first plug in an external monitor to see if what kind of issues the laptop's having. If everything works just peachy then there might be hardware problems. If the same thing happens, maybe it's your OS

but since you say it's working now, I don't really see if there's anything else to do...

Have you googled the problem yet? Most of them can be easily solved just by reading pre-existing topics about the same issue.

Here's something I found that might help

would be nice if newgrounds had a feature on the front page that shows all the official contests. Including flash audio and art.

Think people just need a break from it all. There was a time when the COW and ChOW threads died for a few months and contests were limited. After that people started participating a lot more.

You mean merge? You can still unlock layers if you locked them

No you need the card board. I think you should try to play around with different fonts and the thickness of each piece of text so people know what's important to read

background is alright but the character could use a little work. If you really want to make a side view of him, at least make him curve like an actual human being. Right now he looks like a match stick.

The text color could use some changing. It's too bright and it doesn't fit very well with the scene.

It's pretty eye catching, although I don't really understand the business with the cardboard. If you make it more clear, people would be all "oh, that is fuckin clever...I think I'll partake in this event because of the intriguing design..."

I'm finding that I'm not paying that much attention to what the top part of the poster says because nothing really stands out. It's a little busy in the background and I really don't like the paint splatter. The title should stand out more by making the less important words smaller and in a different font. My eye just goes all over the place after I finished looking at the part with the cardboard. None of the words seem more important to read and I'm sort of confused if this is even in english

at least the last two words I don't get

why don't you just have tom fulp as the main focus and let people use their own free will to add who they want? Most of these characters have their own thread anyway

top looks amazing. At first I thought he was connected to a giant tank base but then saw he was stepping forward.

I think it's only fitting that THIS WEEKS WINNER WILL RECEIVE A PENICORN from the ng store!

goddammit! I don't have access to flash or photoshop or even a scanner this week! arg, maybe I'll have an hour left after I get back.

You hurt minchamber's feelings

You get scouted by another user who is already in the art portal and your work will automatically appear in there after you get scouted.
Here are some Problems:
-you have 3 total works
-one of these look like copy&paste
-all of them are extremely poor in quality and are not up to the standards of the art portal

I doubt a legit person will scout you, but if someone does, you'll be unscouted fairly soon

L4D is such a waste of money altogether. Buy TF2 and CSS and you'll be entertained for a lifetime. Those games never seem to get old because of the additional content that's added by valve and by many map makers who can make decent maps at times. With l4d, you play it for a couple of weeks and then it's the same shit over and over again. Maybe you'll try it again later, but at the end, TF2 will always be there to save you from boredom.

and you get to play as 9 classes. You could say that's like 9 games in one

I do agree that dick drawings are getting a bit old. I know I've been involved in my share of this fad and it's still fun to just make shit like this to make some laugh and some vomit on their keyboards. The topic could be a little less broad. What should we do? Just cover a creature in genitalia? Should be more like creating a creature whose genitals are the key to its survival. I'm getting some of the hardest papers to write just because I'm given an extremely broad topic to write about.

other than that, I don't know. Since it is the 69th in the series, you know it'll have something sexual as the topic.
