I'm glad that everything went well! You look much better now, good look with your recovery! 10 hours sounds like a lot, but the surgery was successful so it's all good :)

First, I can't sleep. It's more of a intermediate stage between being awake and asleep, and I'll pop out of it every once in a while.

Second, it feels like my nose is constantly stuffy, like i got a cold. The only problem is that I can't blow my nose because it'll hurt like a bitch, and I'll break all the clots, which means I'll be bleeding like a woman.

That's pretty bad, I would hate not to be able to sleep :( As I said, good luck with your recovery!

I watched the looooong video yesterday and it looks awesome. I think that every group or business could benefit from it, even if I still haven't tried it yet.

Basically it's where the Wi/Ht? regulars hang out, even if the thread is not really active. The regulars are those people who are active in this forum. To become one, you need to be voted in by the current regulars. Just keep being active in this forum and we'll notice you (or Bahamut will, whatever, he's the one who does the hard work). Elections are held monthly.

There's also the Wi/Ht? memberlist, which has the most prestigious members of this forum.

Welcome to michelinman!

Ha, it looks like there were three ties in the potentials list. Anyway, congrats to michelinman and Hacsev who got the most votes. While Hacsev didn't make it, he sure had a nice amount of votes so I think he may enter the list soon.

Comments:

Congrats to zimzap for passing 50,000 total points, reverend for passing 25,000 total points and KrevZabijak for passing 20,000 total points.
Congrats to byteslinger and KrevZabijak for gaining over 3,000 total points.
Congrats to all who gained at least a rank.

Congrats to you all! Especially to byte and Krev, whose pace is amazing. The most active people are women... The internet has gone crazy! Anyway, Byte will be reaching the top of the list soon, unless she becomes a member before that happens.

Happy Halloween!

Hey guys, have you watched all those [oo halloween] flashes in the portal? Apparently the Owl Orchard is just attempting to flood the portal. Watch out for any possible rule-breaking flash.

Also, sorry for being inactive for the last few days, it's just a matter of time until I get fully active again.

That's because you can change the portal layout in your account changes. So, if you think that the old layout was better, you can still use it :)
You just need to change your portal preferences.

Yeah people who upload those kind of flashes probably don't know that this website actually hosts ORIGINAL content.

In other news, it looks like Adam Philips will release a new Brackenwood movie by the end of November. Read more about it in this thread.

Also, today I accidentally got a cut on my right thumb while cooking. It isn't serious, but five hours have passed and it still hurts. I'm such a pussy...

It looks great IMO. I was expecting something more... Orange but that would be too similar to the normal layout, I think the staff did a great job. The header is awesome.

I think the whole "missing numbers" thing happened when they made the wide layout. As far as I know, it only happens on Firefox. I think the staff knows about it (I'm pretty sure that several people have complained about it), but I guess it's not that important.

Check out the computer hospital, there's a lot of useful information about free software in the first posts.

This is not the same, because people who use "u" instead of "you" do it on purpose. It's not a grammatical error, it's pure stupidity. That's worse as they are being stupid on purpose, I hate that >:(

I am aware that I make typos rather often, but there are some that really bother me. "To" and "too" is one of them, but I can't stand the "your" and "you're" thing that some people do. How come they can't get it right?! Same as "their", "they're" and "there".

If you haven't already done it, I will, but I'm warning you that I really don't have a good record of responses from Wade.

I sent a PM to Wade earlier today. I think that even if Wade doesn't always respond to the PMs, he always deletes the flashes sooner or later, so it's all good :D

I wouldn't be too upset. I'd argue that as long as we're talking about the members and their own individual personal events/whatever, we're really technically on-topic. I mean, as long as we're keeping on the general topic of B/Ping, Newgrounds news, etc. with the occasional side-discussion therein, we're golden.

My thoughts exactly. Sometimes we talk about some unrelated things but we still catch abusive flashes at the same time, so there's nothing wrong with that, because posts here are never spam.

Haha! Sorry about that, I didn't realize you all were waiting that intensely for it! I had a lot of storyline to work out, which I'm actually almost finished with. I can start churned out the prologue and stuff soon, but I dunno how fast I'll be able to write. Postseason is upon us, and with the AL teams as hot as they are, it's going to be a crazy bunch of playoff games... :-)

Well, it will be much worse after you start writing, since probably there will be a lot of cliffhangers that will sure as hell keep me waiting anxiously. Anyway don't worry, take your time to make it as perfect as possible :D I just wanted to know if there was a release date :)

Also, the day before yesterday I received an IRL letter for the first time in my life. It was so exciting! It was quite difficult to open the envelope, but it was well worth it.

Really? Maybe I'm just older, but I've had tons of letters in the mail. And I don't mean junk mail... :-P

It's not that awesome, but when my mom told me that I had received a letter I was like "wtf who would send ME a letter?! I'm going to Howarts!".

Also 2, it looks like I will be getting a PS3 for my birthday later this month. Bleh, expect me to be less active for a few days after 21st October, lol.

I don't have one myself, but one of the best downloadable games for that thing is Pixeljunk Monsters...man is that game awesome!

Well I started looking for some PS3 games since I'm not too sure of which ones I'm going to get (besides a few precious ones such as GTA IV). I looked up the game you suggested in Google and the first result I got was a Wikipedia article. It looked like a generic tower defense game but who knows, I may give it a try :)

Thanks for the recommendation!

Just don't get TOO involved and never come back to NG! :-)

I'll do my best to come back! Anyway my birthday is on a shitty date because I'll probably be studying for school so there are two possible consequences:
A) I won't be able to fully enjoy it for some time.
B) I will do pretty bad at school.
It will probably be B) anyway :P

No, I don't mind, so go ahead if you want to (I've done a lot of updates so I think it's fine if you want to give it a try too). Also, I probably won't be at home on January 1st so if you can make that update too would be great, otherwise I can do it on December 31th or January 2nd.

Stolen icon from toss the turtle.

I don't think that qualifies for a flag. At the end of the day, its just an icon. Its the content of the flash that depends on whether or not you flag it. Plus, by the looks of things....Its not going to last very long :)

Indeed, I think it's not flag-worthy. The whistle should better be used in the flash, not in a mere icon. Also, it's pretty common to see people stealing popular flashes' icons, because there are actually people that are stupid enough to fall for that who vote high in such flashes.

I'm planning on releasing the Epilogue this weekend and you can expect the sequel's Prologue next week. In the meantime, just for fun, I'd love to hear people's theories on what they think will happen in the Epilogue or their views on the end of the story. Lizz gave me his insights on IM already and I found it quite interesting to hear what people think. Post up in the forums or the thread here!

Great! I'm looking forward to that sequel! I didn't think you would release it so soon though. I'm not expecting any surprise for the epilogue, and if something happens, it will probably be unpredictable so I won't even think about it. If it's set in current time, then the roster will be a lot different. Thats obviously because over time, the Barracks received more and more members. There will also be new moderators who probably get on well with the EGB.

So I'll just speculate about the new Barracks enemy. I'm thinking about several possibilities (without considering Wadolf returning in some weird way). This is the one that could be interesting and related to the real life too: the EGB may be attacked by the mods, which would be unexpected considering that after last story the mods don't have any reason to hate us. Some other people may turn against us, and we wouldn't know who we can/can't trust. However, in the end it it would be discovered that they aren't actually mods, and that they are just impersonators (reference to the DD account hacking).

Just a conspiracy theory though. Of course, there can be other malicious groups, or other people turning against us. Instead of speculating, I'll just anxiously wait to read it.

Haha, no need. Excel is really easy, especially with the NGPD roster since its just adding things up. However this roster is much harder because it is made confusing with IF statements! xD

Actually those aren't if statements. They are just some basic math operations which prevent you from doing everything manually with a calculator :D
