I'll give paypal you 15 bucks. you can use 10 on your drugs and 5 to ship that dumb stuffed animal. i mean seriously. if you know youre in like some deep drug binge. dont volunteer to be part of the project. Last i checked nobody forced people to take the damn thing.

Does that apply to non alcoholic beverages?
Meh, they are cheaper...

lol It thinks I am trying to double post...

Price isnt a factor. if you dont take an alcoholic beverage im sure someone else will. Dontcha worry!

yea who the fuck knows why mods arent allowed to ban you.

you could try PMing psychogoldfish. Tom's going out to San Diego next week. The chances of him helping you are probably slim. Anyway, did you get the medals from Tom/PSG ? or did you ask someone with medals to give you their api? They need to make a placeholder for you in the system, you cant just take it from someone who had medals and try and use it yourself.

i assume thats your heart she used as an ashtray

You're a female, you're MEANT to feel out of place at a Newgrounds meet.

True dat. I think regardless of whether youre a male or female, the very first gathering you attend is always kind of intimidating. I mean lets be blunt, youre meeting a bunch of internet people. I think that after the first one, it is less of a burden to your nervous system, simply cause you have more of a familiarity than you did the first time.

Also generally speaking, the people who make it out on the other meet days have a bit of a headstart in mingling with folks before the main meet day where its a royal clusterfuck.

The last london thing was a rediculously large group, what was it like 60?
I guess that didnt help matters much either if you dont like large groups.

This one is looking to be slightly smaller than Jan. but still larger than any other meets. So yea, pick your poison.

you know, i bet i can get control of that. It would be cool if he'd let people plug their games/movies in that banner ad. I'm gonna look into it.
It really is silly to waste that real estate with such old shit.

I'm thinking of cutting my own hair, anyone do that on a regular basis?
I've never tried it before but im too lazy to actually go and pay for it.

Oh the example I posted above is just to show that its been done before, but if you read the reviews of that entry, people enjoy it but are bored of the concept.

Well in my opinion the problem with the game is that, the concept has been done so many times. Theres no interesting twist to this one, its the same one everyone else has done.

If you were going to do that game concept I'd have looked into something to spice it up and atleast tried to distinguish itself from the pack.

Ironically (or non-ironically), there is only one sketchbook that literally exists as a sketchbook. The very first one. Eventually it grew so large that it couldnt fit into one book, and to have two books would be kind of lame. Also, having pages with threads became kinda annoying.

So every year its different and keeps things fresh. The name stuck and its still called a sketchbook tour even tho its not much of a sketchbook anymore.

I finished putting together the Comic Con Hub Page

It has a list of all the people that i had heard were going.

theres already a thread about it. Two of them.

Also its just an experiment. Think of it as a survey without multiple choice radio buttons.

Tom's just playin around on the front page. Bob wasnt around so he tried that to see if it would break the css and it didnt.

So is that going to be a regular thing then? in which case there should totally be a Movie of the moment too :P

I doubt it. The narrow width of the site makes it take up too much space to be worthwhile, i think tom just wanted to highlight something and see how that would affect views to that and the stuff below. Social experiments, hes been doing all those surveys i guess he really wants to get mileage out of users feedback

if your gf is into oral sex she could service you for a bit, or maybe you can do it mutually. I think you should incorporate more foreplay into it and just relax. I dunno what conditions you are having sex in but rushed sex is usually hard to get real pleasure out of it anyway. So maybe dont have sex with her as often but when you do set aside a good chunk of time where you can take your time with it.. like with the feathers or other kinky shit.

oh britney, itll never last.

locking this up. Future feedback can goto the original multi-page PD thread

Rig already made this thread

this should be in the thread devoted to that game, but considering people are actually putting thought into their posts i guess i wont lock it up.

I think opinions on how bad or good the game are are perfectly valid. As an animator/flash game developer you develop a skin in taking all kinds of criticism, (even the shallow ones)
So i actually think its fine that theres people who find it to be shit. Making games is like this never ending puzzle of trying to figure out how to appeal to a wide range of players, be it hardcore enthusiasts to very casual gamers, and everything in between. So even when you get the leg up on one spectrum you inevitably begin irritating another.

You also have to just make games kinda expecting for most people to not know the amount of work/love that goes into it so it makes no sense for me to get bent out of shape about it. In the end, people see the end product and not the process it took to get there or the neverending string of failed ideas to get to that point. They shouldnt need to consider that anyway, its better to get a harsh sobering review that your game needs work than have a review thats giving you a pitty fuck just cause they know you worked hard etc.

In the end, you just filter the reviews in your brain, you whipe the ones you cant learn anything from off the table and you keep ones that were negative that you can apply action to and you keep the ones that provide reinforcement of things that worked well that you should keep in the next go round.

Dont get thirsty, or dont forget this handy coupon. A few people used it in Montreal, including myself.

most of the points i agree with have already been said...

But in a nutshell, the beauty of twitter is in its 'dumb easy' aspect of it and the fact that it actually doesnt even want you to hang out at its website. It instead aims to piggyback on whatever it is you happen to be doing, like make its tweeting so painlessly easy to do that you can do it while youre eating breakfast, or watching a woman get hit by a car lmao.

Basically twitter is pointless if you ask me but i can see why or how it might appeal to others. Particularly those that use the online medium in a very casual manner.

I think citricsquid or someone mentioned, but twitter wants to 'own' the social networking landscape, much the way youtube/google now owns the viral video landscape.

The web is always changing and the trend is to not force people to be bound to a single website but rather make your offerings as versatile and user friendly as possible and available to a wide variety of platforms, i-phones, blackberry, mobile, laptop, xbox live etc.

Never understood how people can fail at school.. i mean its not that hard to pass a class. Yes failing makes you look cool but its temporarily. I find you cool now but i probably will change my mind and or forget about your coolness eventually.

This shit takes too long.. it gets boring when people are keeping it for 3-4 weeks.. how hard is it to throw it into a box and mail it away.

yea as other people have mentioned, the fact that its detroit didnt help.
Not only is america trying to make believe detroit doesnt exist but its so bad there that 7 kids dead isnt that big of a deal over there. I'm sure 14 were dead the day before.
