The Demented Cartoon Movie is somewhere in the range of half an hour I think, but that's the longest one I know of.

Man . . . I remember back in the day when Assassin was still big. I may only have signed up recently, but I was around back then. That was actually the only part of the site I looked at back then.

Anyway, I say definitely revive if you want to! It'd be great! And there's always new, moronic celebrities on the scene to serve as fresh targets. Go for it!

I used to be neutral, with about 2 blams : 1 save. But in the last few weeks I've already worked it up to 3:1, and it's still moving further away. Why? It seems to me that a lot of crap is getting saved in the portal. It's just my opinion of course, but it's my opinion that determines how I vote, and I've been voting a lot lower than I used to.

So, I switched my aura to dark.

Really? I just checked, and it's listed in their products list.

Wherein I found cream soda by accident, which intrigues me, because I'm a fan of cream sodas, and I didn't know they had one.

I like most of their flavours, but in particular, they have a good vanilla cola.

Still a bad plan, I'm afraid. Friends get friends to give them helpful review marks, people will still spam more reviews to get more chances, some people will get off going around voting "No" on everything, and the fact is, very rarely does ANYBODY mark Yes on a review as it stands -- so it's not likely that people are going to be doing it for the right reasons.

It's best just to leave reviews to those who want to make them.

Good show to both. I just passed #900 and made Elite Guard myself.

I just made Elite Guard Private. :)

Poker. My preferred is 5-card, 2-draw, no wilds, because I mostly play just for fun (not money).

I used to like cheat, but nobody I know is even remotely capable of playing it well.

Personally, if you do decide to ditch the current system for whatever reason, I would go ahead with the idea just to use the age numbers. You could do the same font/style you did the letters in, just try to fit the numbers instead (use G, or keep using E for all ages).

And as an afterthought, if you ever did want to argue it out, you could always bring it to court later when it was more reasonable to do so. It's not like it would have to be taken care of immediately. Just switch 'em back, and if they try to fight it, own 'em in the courtrooms.

Canada made important contributions during both of the World Wars.

You didn't quite understand me I don't think. I didn't say we were unimportant in the wars -- quite the contrary, I agree with you that we were important in many wars. What I meant was that we don't find glory in war, or boast about wars we've been in as much. When we participated in wars, it was because we felt we were obligated to. I guess to explain my point, I should offer the following comparison: America tends to fight for freedom, something obviously developed from their history. Canada tends to fight because there are no other acceptable options. Of course, acceptable is an arguable point here, but that's the best I can explain it.

The lack of identity is more due to the fact that we don't have a lot of history.
We haven't been around for as long as other nations in the world. We're a very young country.

Keep in mind that America's history is about the same length. They were officially a country before Canada, but both countries developed at the same time. I think Canadians are just less forward about our history in war. We don't flaunt it or glorify it -- similar to my argument above that we fight when we feel we must, as opposed to America fighting to promote a cause.

In short, my point is that we do have an identity. Our identity is, however, forged differently from America's. America forwards its causes often through war in their history, while Canada attempts to do so diplomatically in most (but certainly not all -- consider the Metis rebellion which was put down) situations. Diplomacy has a less obvious historical impact than war, and therefore a less obvious, but equally solid identity is formed. As for most other countries, it's natural that they would have more history than us, and I don't think that reflects on our national pride or identity.

Yeah, Thanksgiving has been around for a lot longer than Canada and America's years combined, even if you count those before they were officially recognized as countries. I figure that the reason an earlier date was selected by Canada back in the day was due to the fact that we have an earlier winter, and therefore an earlier harvest, especially in comparison to states further South. But I don't know for sure.

And I don't think Canada lacks a sense of identity. I'd say that's a common misconception because we don't vaunt the wars in our history. America is built on war -- Canada is built on peace. As for any American influence, that's simply because they're our only neighbours. Consider this: If America weren't Canada's neighbour, how many American hockey teams would be in the NHL? So, it goes both ways.

Mine is the best because it has swords in it. And hadokens. And I actually made it myself, too.

You need Opera (or I think Mozilla has it too). Right click a link and drag down a bit before letting go to open the link in a new window. There's a lot of mouse shortcuts like that -- called mouse gestures -- for lazy people. It's actually a really good system.

Malicious. But be careful on the 'pleading for a 5' bit, that only counts for movies that do nothing other than that. Bad movies that have "plz vote 5" at the end of them, but were otherwise ordinary bad movies, aren't malicious.

Definitely FF IV and FF VI, which at the time were renumbered 2 & 3. Not Mystic Quest though (ugh).

I'm glad that it has been sorted out now, thanks Rage, but what bothers me is the fact that this occured at Newgrounds - I thought this kind of thing had been taken care of.

Actually, you may have picked it up somewhere else. It couldn't have installed using that box you clicked "no" on unless you actually clicked yes. So what probably happened was you picked up the spyware somewhere earlier, and it was that spyware that you already had that was popping up that message on you constantly.

But I could be wrong.

I dunno what I'd do. Be surprised, probably.

Does changing your alias change the name you sign-in with too? And can somebody else take your old one once you've changed it? I've never really looked at that. :\

No, but I knew (not personally) one guy who did. It's not fun. Especially for people who have bad epilepsy, and get them twice or three times a day....

I'm sceptical, but then, they must have something out for me, those stars, because a bunch of my signs (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter I believe) are all in Gemini, and it fits me perfectly.

Beautiful British Columbia here. Not sure there's anywhere else I'd rather live either....

Rest in Peace: #154

I cleaned up the last 200-or-so just now.

That thing looks like a cinqueda, but with the width of a broadsword. O.o

Plus, I can see it now, some huge clan forming whos only purpose is to vote 0 on as many old movies as possible, attempting to get free blam points, and wiping out half of Newgrounds' collection.

Albeit that would be difficult considering the amount of voting power that would be needed to bring old movies down that low.

There used to be, there isn't now.

The flash submission page has a spot where you can cite someone as the person who referred you. According to that, if somebody encouraged you to upload the flash you're uploading, you can put their username there, and they'll get free exp. Not sure how much or if it's been disabled or anything though.

But aside from possibly that, and the free experience (10 - 5 per signup) from signing up to those newsletters or whatever when you make your account, no other ways of getting exp.

I'd go without soda. Too many awesome video games out there, and I generally don't get much soda anyway. Besides, soda's a constant expense, while video games, once purchased, are yours for good.

Hmm, nice trick. I haven't used Opera in a while. 50 pages seems to lock up my system, but it handles 25 somewhat cleanly. Thanks.

As I said in the thread in WI/HT, I just cleaned up everything with 152 votes on it, so we're onto the 153's. And a quick check told me that the 151's were cleared just after midnight the morning of the 19th, meaning that an entire set of numbers was cleared in just over 24 hrs. So it won't take as long as it seems with help! Check it out!

I'm done! The 152's have been finally cleared! Phew, that took forever. And I'm not doing that again for quite a while. My clicking finger is numb. Anyway, I hope that's been of help in one way or another. :)
