Looks like a cool guy. I'm sad.

R.I.P., Ben

I give to you, the COOLEST man in the WORLD:

You will need to use Actionscript. What version of Flash are you running and what version of Actionscript is your .fla using?

Start drawing some stuff in Flash. Get a feel for how the tools work. You can quickly and easily make some very nice artwork in Flash once you know the tools. Do not invest in a tablet unless you are very good at drawing by hand and have sufficient skill in digital artwork with a mouse.

Take your time and do not worry about releasing any animations for awhile. Look at what other people are doing and try to figure out how they accomplished certain effects you liked or why certain things look weird.

Find artwork you enjoy and redraw it in Flash. It's okay if you don't publish it as your own. Don't just use the pen tool to trace over things. Use shapes to build a basic form and then manipulate the shapes to add detail.

Try not to start with stick figures. Challenge yourself. Keep working at it. If you find that you are becoming stressed or are in any way not having fun in Flash anymore, take a break and find some way to renew your interest.

Never stop a project half way through. Even if you know you will never show the finished product to anyone, finish it anyway for the learning experience. Your next project will be vastly better, believe me.

Have fun, have fun, have fun.

I made him from Fallout 3. Took me five hours in Blender and an additional three hours in the G.E.C.K.

I am not only the funniest man alive, I am better at Photoshop than anyone who ever existed.

Sounds to me like you were just being mardigerous, a word I made up one time.

There are a few things to consider:

Would users who created content be charged for their accounts? I think it would be ludicrous to ask those who bring traffic to the website to pay for its use. If creative minds are exempt, then how would the system account for the hundreds of others who don't necessarily make Flash animations or audio, but who instead organize community events and contribute with advice on the forums.

Would the membership be mandatory? As mentioned above by kaywire, if there were an incentive for a payed membership like a monthly magazine and paying members only area (which would also justify the cost of the membership) and there was still a free membership for those who didn't want any of the extras, that would be fine in my opinion.

Would content creators make more money? Going back to the idea of there being only payed memberships, would content creators get a larger allotment of money through revenue share? Newgrounds would have to recognize that there would be no paying subscribers without the entertainment they come to see.

Would it be worth it? How would charging for memberships improve the site? Obviously, if there were two types of accounts, those with the paying accounts would feel a greater allegiance to the site and this would strengthen the community, however this would cause a rift between the two account type holders. How much traffic would NG lose because of this and how much drama would happen?

A one time fee might be okay, right? I read an article on Cracked recently about internet personalities, blah blah blah, but they mentioned that some sites charge a one time registration fee of ten dollars. The point is that trollers and alts are less common because they won't go through the trouble of paying ten dollars just to fuck with people.

There is a lot to think about, but I for one would pay Newgrounds money if they mailed me a magazine every month and had a special section for payed users where we could talk about how much better we were than the free users.

Just checked the updated list. Looks like things are moving along. I'm excited.

Why doesn't everyone who would have gotten clive buy some sort of monkey or other stuffed thingy and take some pictures, then we can make an 'In Memory of Clive: MIA' Flash.

You know, this isn't a half bad idea. Maybe this could work. I'm sure everyone is pissed at Jezuz.

Yes. We can also dedicate it to how much Jezuz sucks (no offense, Jezuz, but let's be serious for a second if we could).

Recently, I just purchased the CF360, whatever that means, for 69.99 (only 30.00 with mail in rebate).

It's been working splendidly so far and hasn't caused me any trouble. The battery is strong for four or five days before it starts to beep at me. The picture quality is nice and there are plenty of cool options to play around with, plus it's a slide phone so it looks cool.

You know what, Fuck this. I will get another monkey and Take pics around KC and then send it to the who was supposed to be next.

I'll call him Clive 2. What do you guys think about that?

It had never occurred to me until reading this thread how angry trees can be and how prevalent the theme of trees killing or getting back at people is in our culture.

Check out Super3Boy on YouTube. His tutorials helped me like whoa with Blender.

I appreciate the huge amount of effort you put into this project, Shreddy.

sarcasm?...

No, legit. I think you did everything you could. This was an impossible project to manage, and you got it started. It was up to everyone else to finish the job. You did you part well.

WHOOOOMP WHOOOOOMP...

She who seals her heart in stone will suffer, silent and alone.

I just made that up.

This is definitely good, but it needs some work. You need to take into account how many regulars, mods, and admins have posted in the thread. You also need to include the total number of pages that have accumulated and things like that.

Also, I made something:

Yeah dude. Cum trees. They're fucking everywhere.

Do this with money. It's a hundred times more satisfying.

If I were to lay any trap, it would be Line Trap.

I do not accept your apology as it stands. You're going to have to try a lot harder than that.

I was hoping to gain some dignity by making my own.

The leaning is a big issue. I figure I might need to apply a hige ass counter weight to the bottom of the thing?

I suppose you all know what a Segway is. In case you've missed out on the past eight years, the Segway is a personal transportation vehicle for city commuters. Of course by now it has become much more than that. Police forces even use them to travel around the city quickly and cheaply (compared to cars).

I thought about getting a Segway at one time, but money is a big deal. Then I thought of a great idea: could one combine some simple items to create one's own Segway of sorts for much cheaper?

I have no technical prowess, so I ask you all if this seems like a good idea. Please see the picture below, which illustrates my point: I would like to turn a hand truck into a cheap ass, redneck Segway.

Man, I won't lie to you...I just won't. When I click the link I expected to see a complete piece of shit game (based purely on the 'Please help with my game' type post that this was) however, it looks awesome. It's a little bit odd that you're this far into development without coming up with enemies for the entire game, but whatever. I have some suggestions.

Depending on what type of mood you're going for, the enemies could be many different things. If you want a funny, lighthearted game, you could have rabid squirrels and such on the Earth levels. If you want a more horrific tone, try zombies or evil, man killing robots. Something in between might be Astronauts from competing countries. Like I said, it all depends on the mood you want.

The game looks great as it stands now. I can't wait for the final release. Good luck.
