Because google wants to be "king of the net" if not founder (Tim-berners lee, thankfully, grabbed that before google did, but it wouldn't make sense, 'cos google is net-based, and without the net, google wouldn't exist. now i'm confused).
I wouldn't be surprised, however, if Google bought CERN (Organisation Européenne pour la Recherche Nucléaire) in 2 years' time.

And if NG was bought, thousands of users, including Cootie, (no offense) would migrate to 4chan and bring trolling to a whole new level.

(Better, if not worse)

Oh yeah, if 4chan could really destroy or annex parts of Google's territory, why ain't they doin' it now? They could bring the old Youtube back for us!

Let's start a protest to bring Youtube back!
No offense, google.

I'm glad he won't. Corporate Newgrounds would be terrible.

Too fucking right man.

I swear to God, I'd leave right that instant. NG should NOT become like YouTube.

Youtube owners made a big mistake when they sold it to google.
I know that Tom Fulp won't sell NG to google, but what if Tom Fulp's account was hacked, and included a statement that says that NG will be sold to Google?
Or what if Tom himself agrees to sell NG to Google when he's too drunk one night? (No offense, Tom)

What would happen if Google bought Newgrounds.com? It wouldn't happen, but imagine what would happen!

Here's what I think:

Log in to Newgrounds with your Newgrounds | Google Account
Add Newgrounds to your Google Account
Create a new Newgrounds | Google Account -- verify with mobile later
Newgrounds -- Everything, By Google
Tank Logo replaced by Google logo
Fancy "Sponsored by Google" preloaders
Google Faic instead of Angry Faic
Search sponsored by Google
New topic in General? Pay google $5 to post (that'd suck!)
No more Google-Sponsored ads, but malicious ads from other sites
Google moderators/employees would ban trolling (only good thing here)
Tom Fulp would be kicked from his virtual throne
No more Flash-Related frontpage - instead news from around the world
Flash games with watermark on them saying (Made by google) or (Sponsored with google) every 5 seconds

5 wishes:

1) Be immortal (never die, no diseases, no cancer, etc)
2) Be forever young (as in no age related things i.e arthritis, wrinkles, etc)
3) Have unlimited magic powers (white & black)
4) Have everything for free
5) Be an admin of every website, including newgrounds!

3) Immortality. Straight out, I'm not even going to try and mess with the formula. Can't get sick, can't die, period.

5) A pack of smokes. I'm immortal, so fuck it.

That's about it. I don't like living the high life, I want to observe humanity's progress. Ectera.

There is a loophole with your #3 statement:

You'll be 1000 years old and wrinkled, shrivelled up, with arthritis.
You'll also get cancer, addiction, etc, and live a horrible life

Why do that when you can smoke in heaven?

Friday's the name of the horse.

Okay, here's mine:

....but not by posting it on the BBS ?

Silence

Actually once I punched a fly

Then saw it spin as if it was on acid
Then stamped it
Later, I shot it with a shotgun (Atleast, I'd have loved to)

I would use
:A shotgun

Water.

My favorite pokemon would be Ash Ketchum, but he's not actually a pokemon. If he was.....He'd be creepy.

And he's gay

Snorlax. Because he's so fat and can kill people by sleeping ON them.

Well....let's see..
I have on my desk:

Well, on the first day I got the plastic eye, I dropped it accidentally onto some petroleum (I didn't know it was there) and then I knew it could glow when it hit something. However, it has petroleum and it actually DIFFUSED into the eye, so it's slimy now. It's useless.

But, incase I had an enemy at hand and he was going to murder me, (I don't want to kill people but if they try to then I take the preemptive first and strike!) then you know...

Check the contents. Tell me if you know. Okay, I'll tell you.

A bottle of hair oil which is expired can be used as machine oil..

Or, the one I like better:

Bottle of hair oil with a small opening ( I could easily open it if it was too small ) + Cotton ( You know where this is going! ) + Matches from matchbox + My hands to throw bottle = Molotov Cocktail!!!!!

A molotov cocktail would be great, and I can make it! Woohoo!

Or, an even better one:

Deodorant + Fire from matches + Hands to throw deodorant with = Explosion!!!

And a makeshift hammer:

Take weighing scale and wham person on head with it.

Tell me if you can find more combinations with the above items =D

If you do go on 4chan.org, you'll want to go to /b/. It's the safest board, by far.

Don't heed 3dog14's advice. The /b/ board is the random board on 4chan, much like Newgrounds' General board. It has little/no rules, meaning that anyone can upload anything, from pornography to shock images to just plain scary things.

Source: Wikipedia, and I went to encylcopedia dramatica. I knew it was fake after readin Wikipedia, but I got scared like hell.

Myself.

Then the doctor will call me and say they made a mistake, it's instead my boss (if I had one) and I would rejoice.

Well, I'd go to the BBS, tell everyone that I'm going to die in 24 hours.

Then I'd go to the menu and load a different save game.

I know that if this happened in real life, I'd just post on the BBS, go to facebook, delete my account or report it, and pray.

P.S If I can't delete my facebook account, I'll just spam and abuse everyone I see on facebook.

No, not the older top-down GTA games, but, the angle at 85 degrees, so that it's directly showing the character in front and showing apparent "depth". (Or in other words, side view)

I've got this top priority, so if I do manage to finish it, it's gonna be a hella great game.
I've used Google images and cliparts for the cars.

Here's the swf that is currently being developed, if it piques your curiosity:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/df8e 661979e1bdd5ba50c68e5e2060ca
It's not yet finished, but if you want to collaborate, now's your chance (and even later, if you've missed out)

I'm thinking of making a GTA like engine in Flash. If anyone want to help, they can download the source code (soon). I'll post a link here when the source code is ready, so check back!

So far, I've like made the cars move and the person get in and out....good progress...

So is Grand Theft Auto 4, 3, SA, VC and VC Stories

Recently, platform sandbox's (see my submissions) development has been going down, and the rate at which I program and *build* the game was roughly 30 MODs a day, now it's roughly 1 MOD a day, if I'm lucky (I had a vacation at that time) so any people wanting to collaborate can PM me; I'll give them the source code as well. Speaking of which, I *might* have an old copy of SWF Decompiler around here somewhere...

Progress : I'm currently designing the AI, however, this is a separate FLA, so anyone wanting the AI fla can also PM me.

(Oh yeah, don't ask me the age old question "How much are you willing to pay?" because this project is going well on its own. Anyone wanting to get their name in the credits can collaborate.)

one of my movieclips which is inside another movieclip... i want the stage frame to go to frame 1.

i have tried;

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (this.hitTest (_root.ball)) {
_root.gotoAndStop (1);
}
}

but its not working :S....

type this onto the Actions on the moviclip which is inside the movieclip :P :
onClipEvent(enterFrame)
{
if(this.hitTest(_root.ball)){
_root.gotoAndStop("frame")
}
}
replace frame with the frame label of the game.
And, if it's already on frame 1, it might not work, so:

replace _root.gotoAndStop() with _root.ball.gotoAndStop()

Man, I tried Lugia (the legendary Pokemon) and it still guessed it!
I tried exxegutor and I beat it!

I've made an animation, but when I try to export it to .SWF , then after Flash finishes, when I go to the folder, the file is not there!
Only a size report is made, and the size report shows:

----------------------------------
It's blank.
Nothing is there.

//Flash details:
Frames: 2000+
Flash version: CS4
Memory usage: 1,348,184K

I'm thinking that Flash doesn't have enough memory to export the file. If that is so, then how can I change the amount of memory that Flash uses?

Not likely, as I have a Windows XP with an Intel Family Chipset driver. I appreciate the help, though.

I've made a stickman animation, on the base of animator vs. animation, and it has 2000+ frames, and with all the sounds and special effects, Flash cs3 takes up 1,092,880K+ memory! And when I try to compile it, it crashes! I can't add a preloader because it demands more VRAM!!! And it consumes almost ALL of my computer's VRAM!!

At 4/20/10 11:51 AM, F1Krazy wrote: That's not working either.

I think I know what the problem is. Each object I want to flip is on 2 frames that jump between each other indefinitely (thus preventing the 15-minute reset that occurs in previous MMSC games). So I have to paste the object and the code onto 2 frames, which might make it not work (since it involves enterFrame). So I've fixed one problem, but I may have inadvertantly caused another.

Try putting this code INSIDE the movieclip's two frames:

this.onRelease = function(){
this._xscale = -100
this._yscale = -100
}

(For BOTH the frames INSIDE the MC, remember)
If you want to flip it horizontally, remove the _xscale and if you want to flip it vertically, remove the _yscale.

GOD, this game is annoying.

Not really. Give me the FLA and I'll correct the problems. I have to SEE to FIX.

Does anyone need 3d buildings from Maya? I recently got Maya 2010, and I can make 3d buildings in it. PM me if you want any.

Still, i'll take a risk.

Yeah, now they found water. Not NOW, long back. Emphasis on long back.
So what if they found water on the Moon?
