lol, you mean memes? Yeah, that would probably be best, although some should be allowed seeing as it's part of the Newgrounds culture. If people would describe what their levels are going to consist of before making them, then it will prevent people making inappropriate levels and levels which are too similar to other people's or from previous NG Pass games.

I approve of this thread. I was originally going to organise this collab by myself, but I am very busy at the moment with university and such so I asked Matt to be the main organiser. I am the the co organiser and will be helping out with designing the game and organising parts.

good point.

Wait, it comes out on Madness Day?

I don't go to school anymore.

Remember, hold shift when you scale images, it keeps the same aspect ratio.

yeah your right man, if it was done with camera freezing/overlaying then it would take some very skilled editors to pull that off the way they did.

Nowadays, you can get some pretty convincing camera effects, it's not even that complicated. Plus, the freezing theory is the main one people keep insisting on, it seems pretty logical to me.
even if that were the case it'd be easier to freeze/overlay a certain side of the screen with a camera which was on a tripod, for example. and note how we didn't see any shadows or hear any movement?
Actually, if you watch it on this Youtube video, if you look at 4:49, you can see a shadow appear on the white card he's holding and then he quickly moves it after realising.

What is the relevance of your goddamn snow flake!

Apparently that snowflake is meant to symbolise the fact that that section of the screen was 'frozen'.

The only thing which puzzles me is that Derren said that the stunt took 1 year to do. Unless he's just lying then it seems unlikely that you could spent a whole year on the stunt if it's just down to camera tricks

He had a pen in his mouth, and he wrote the numbers as they came up on his individual fingers, then picked up the balls (which are computerised) and put one finger behind each. Inside the computerised LCD balls was an OCR scanner which transcribed his primative handwriting into characters and projected them on the side of the ball.

Apparently it was done by freezing the left side of the screen and as the numbers are being announced, a runner comes over and swaps the balls accordingly. Notice how towards the end of the numbers being announced, the white ball furthest to the left on the stand moves up slightly. That's the reason why they used a handheld camera, the shaky camera work made it less obvious that the balls had been swapped because any slight movements are harder to realise when the shot keeps moving around.

Also, it's strange how after the numbers have been announced, Derren goes incredibly nervous, he's just predicted them correctly and he would have remembered the predictions he picked, so why was he so nervous afterwards? My guess is that the people swapping the white balls were taking longer than planned and it could have ruined the illusion.

hmm...who is this mysterious Tarboy you keep mentioning?

did you copy and paste the ActionScript file into the same directory as your FLA.? You should have a folder with the FLA. the .swf and the AS file of your game in it.

Guitar Hero on Tour
GTA: Chinatown Wars
and I know it's a GameBoy Advanced game, but I would recommend getting GTA: Advanced, it's still really fun.

I could lend a hand if you want?

that looks very nice, but I've got something you could try. I reckon the artwork would be a lot better if there weren't any black lines on the buildings so it looked cell shaded. I think you should try removing all the lines and see what it looks like and undo it if you don't like it.

Gears 1 can take ages to get a match started especially when the host refuses to start the match.

Waterlollies got a score of about 4.89 when it came out, that's probably the highest there's been.

yes, but what I'm saying is that impressions seem to be worth less on other sites, or they decrease in value as the impressions increase.

me too

I don't think that NG Ads are particularly effective when you have your game/movie on sites other than NG itself.
