Nice. I'm yet to try diet Dr Pepper, since barely anywhere in my local area sell it (like most side-flavourings), but I'll believe you when you say that it doesn't taste as good as the drink that it stemmed from.

It seems that I've fallen quite far, but not quite as far as those surrounding me. I would have thought that my absolute completion of Darnell's Recount would have pushed me ahead of a few people, but the loss of Fear (a game that I invested hours in) and how bad I am at Doom, Hexen and Heretic means the opposite.

I'll need another 50 to equal Richler's score, so hopefully I'll be able to work on the 150 medals that I've been eyeing since early March; Click, Click, Click and Divine Powers.

I'm not experiencing that. Could you try it out in another browser, and see if that works? It could be a server glitch, since getting red instead of the 46x46 square was what happened to me when they were down a few weeks back.

>> Complete list of games with medals! <<

Make sure you look through the walkthroughs and search Google before asking a question.

Secret Medals

When it comes to secret medals, I'll ask you to be vague at best. If an author makes a medal secret, they've done so for a reason. So do not discuss secret medals to any specific extent.

Newest games with medals:

Doom Triple Pack, by mike Type: Game Rating: Ages 17+

Spewer, by Bluebaby Type: Game Rating: Ages 13+

(Once a game has had medals for more than a week it no longer is on the newest medal games list.)

Impossible Medals

There are currently no glitched medals.

Walkthroughs

All walkthroughs for games with medals are located here. Please use this walkthrough before asking a question here. If you still can't figure something out or need other tips not given in the walkthroughs then you may post asking for help.

Ranking List

The top medal point users list - The rankings of the top users with medal points. The list currently updated by Hybrid-of-Souls. In addition to this, NG Logs has a medal-tracking feature.

Thanks for the great final roster. I'll miss them.

Congratulations to the both of you for the rank-ups.

Entering the List:
None :(

That's a shame.

Leaving the List:
Me, of course :)

:D: is probably the only way to express my emotions about your rank-up. :D for pride in you, and D: at the fact that you'll no longer be a part of the force.

Top 5 Gainers:
1. iCurrie - 226
2. SlntCobra1 - 174

Wow, only two above 100. Well done to you two, especially iCurrie.

Not much B/P for the week. Due to competition with the other Wi/Ht? regs I'll need to work on my pace now, meaning that I may rank up myself in seven or eight weeks. I've been restricting my B/P for too long now.

All of my rosters:

I'm going through every one of these and when I'm not on a live CD, saving them all into a directory on my desktop. Very nice.

Fucking hilarious.

Well done on the great roster.

I'm working on a short walkthrough video for the first level of Hexen, but my timing is always thrown off by the lag the screen recording software, and the quality ends up very bad.

Figuring them out couldn't have been a task if you were thinking about it. A full list of controls are linked to in the pause menu, which can be activated with the escape key.

The list is currently maintained manually, meaning that if the person who maintains it (Hybrid-Of-Souls) doesn't know about you, which is likely due to your lack of much posts, he can't add you to the list.

Also, I'd suggest that you log your stats on NGLog, If you do, then you'll be added to an automatic list of people who have.

I think it's safe to say that my depositing rate is looking solid again, after weeks of forgetting very often. I finally reached level 17 just seconds ago, about eight days after when I should have.

Welcome back. This makes me want to start making lists again. Despite the fact that at the time it often seems tedious and boring, you miss creating them after you've stopped.

Thanks for this. Everyone's medals seem to be missing a few, for some reason, but as a whole they're all pretty accurate. Thanks for the new feature!

At 5/7/09 10:18 AM, liljim wrote: I think you have things the wrong way around.

As far as I know, Newgrounds uses HTML with some extensions (like the 'code' parameter used on Flash and Programming) and a few restrictions (to stop things like embedding malflash onto the BBS). Am I right in thinking this, or does it go deeper than that?

At 5/4/09 10:53 PM, MonkeyV wrote: What do you all think of the new Kiss Cherry Dr Pepper?

I feel like I'm missing out on something here. Due to the fact that adding cherry flavourings to a drink that tastes primarily of cherries, there can't be much of a difference, but I'm still pretty curious.

I'm pretty sure that by just coding them into your Flash and setting the options to how you want them, it should start working. I'd suggest setting it to false, then submitting to test if it's working. If the pico symbol appears, then set it to true and update the SWF.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my 4-and-a-bit months here

I've enjoyed seeing you here. You've been one of the few users who really stand out for great work in the portal and merit towards the club, and Newgrounds as a whole.

Also, I have only missed out on the Top 5 Gainers list once

The memories. I remember our constant competition for the first place back in January and February. That timeframe was easily my favourite when talking about the NGPD.

At least are doing something to help Newgrounds

This is perhaps one of the most true things I've read in a while. It was a perfect reply to that post, since you summed up the NGPD, and you kept complete composure.

So, to sum up, thank you, Tails, Mike, and all the other NGPD members, for the best 4 months of my NG life.

*Ultimate Salute*

*Tearful salute*

Goodbye. Make sure you keep popping into here occasionally.

Is it picking up or should I leave it for a little longer?

From today and yesterday thus far, the portal still doesn't seem too good, there's been a shitstorm of crappy flashes, and most of them appear to be passing. It's up to you, but I think that the portal needs a few more people to help keep control of the situation.

It's a shame to see you leave.

Anyway, I commend Insanimation's activities on the portal and the BBS during his time in the NGPD. He is one of the most helpful, friendly and generally one of the best users that I've had the pleasure to talk to on my time on Newgrounds.

A very nice browser. I only really use Firefox over it because I like supporting open source software.

Hybrid is holding a manual list for the medal rankings. There are some missing users, but it gives a snapshot of the top medal scores for one day each week.

It's good to see Escape Pico's School on there, I loved that game. The same goes for 'A Bad Taste of Pico', which was extremely fun. A few more levels couldn't have gone amiss, though.

Also, I'm pretty surprised that I was on the Monthly Voting panel this month, I missed out at least six days of deposits, which is more than almost every other month I've had since Summer '08.

I'm loving the new features, well done on the successful takeover, Byteslinger! The rank projections will probably help kick my arse into gear for some more depositing and B/P'ing, as I've gone lazy with my stats recently.

This game is stolen from yanmania

I'm not going to blow my whistle. It may be stolen, but just because a Flash exists elsewhere on the internet, it doesn't rule out the posibility that it is original content. I'm going to do some more research, but I don't think it's worth the risk yet.

No need to answer this. Apparently that school's in Dulwich, which is quite funny, since I live very close to it, (literally) just south of Greenwich, which is very close. If the disease was really something to worry about, then I'd probably be shitting myself right now. :D

For jump spin, keep pressing A while performing an air combo (she should start rolling in the air). For ground spin, just keep pressing A. Groundspins only really work when the boss is dizzy, though.

I just got finished the level myself, after hours of trying to get this right, but you should aim to shoot it at the corner of the block, at the bottom left of it as you're running in. It should pile up slightly, and while it's like that jump up and start swimming. If you get it right, it'll only take a minutes, but it will probably take a while.

I don't know anyone who has it, since my part of London doesn't have any known cases, but I don't really see much reason to be worried about it. I haven't heard of any deaths outside of Mexico, so it seems to be more tame than the media are making of it.

What part of London are you in, anyway?

Read above. The medal system has been down for a few hours now. Hopefully it'll be back online later today. The staff haven't said anything yet, though.

At 5/4/09 11:28 AM, Lizzardis wrote: So now that FEARs medals have gone (Finally), how many points does it take to join the list? 4,300 Maybe?

Unless some users were removed from the list, it has to be more than that. I'd say that it's about 4700 now, since many users will have gained more points since. I know that I won't be safe until the end of the week, as when the system's back up there'll be more games. Hell, it might even come out of it's beta stage very soon.

At 5/4/09 10:56 AM, WritingPad wrote: indeed. I can't tell, did we still keep our medal points though?

We've lost all of our Fear medals. I'm glad that it no longer has medals, but since I spent at least six hours on that game, it is slightly annoying.

Also, is the medal system down? I've achieved several Spewer medals and my final A bad Taste of Pico one, and none of them have registered, even after hours of achieving some of them.

Actually, it's been around for far more than ten years. The Flash portal, however, has only been automated since 2000, so the earliest Flashes on the site are from then.
