About the humor thing... I think the writing on this was fine... there are just three groups of people.... those who play warhammer (and take it WAY too seriously), regular / 'casual' players, and those who think a Space Marine is something from Aliens and the Emperor is that guy from Star Wars.

We targetted the last two groups... simply because the first group has no sense of humor to appeal to. The first group also happens to be very vocal and opinionated..

The only way to appeal to all three groups is to not use humor at all... go epic and serious.

Just finished the msn conversation... my girlfriend yelled at me from the bedroom 'what the hell are you laughing at at 3 am!'

Epic!

Thank you, no there is a bit of sound lag, but it couldn't be fixed. :) thanks a lot for the good comments, I've tried adding you but currently it's not working, will try again soon. Sorry for the delay.

Pretty sure it is because the flash is still 'under judgement'... no pressure :P

It looks amazing... alot of polish went on... really professional looking.

The 'Terminator Scene' had a slight delay in the audio in my machine (but I did watch it on a 6 year old laptop so its probably just me)

Everybody should be very proud of what they did.... I kinda missed the Nurgle Tank joke... I really liked that one.

I just checked my newgrounds account and found a portal buddy request from Forbid... this obviously mean there has bee some positive movement in the 40k collab... everybody is back from their Summer / Halloween / Guy Fawlkes day festivities kickn'.

*Now taking a few mintues to read the last couple of pages of posts.

Maybe Fatkid is hurt... or possibly hungry... should we send him some pie??

Right forum... wrong thread.

Next time it goes here.

... I may also send you an audition tomorrow.

I find putting 'prank calls' under the voice acting section to be offensive.
Autotune flowers is not voice acting... its a shitty joke a best.

I would like the addition of a the VA genre though.

How much ram are we talking about.... if you have paypal I'd be willing to throw 5-10 bucks your way to help cover the cost.

This is where this should go...

... and welcome.

Still looking good, but there is some serious slow down when you eject 'too many' cartridges... ie when you hold fire too long on the rifle or click too fast with the pistol.

Seems to be the best thread to ask this question in.

No copywritten materials would include sound clips punked from movies... where I'm going with this are the stupid prank phone call tracks made with soundboards.

example

And all is as it should be...

...for the Emperor!

What file types are you using?

Thankfully this thread was spared from the 'glitch'.

Thought it was gone for a few seconds.

Quartered Collab Rough Draft

Comments, criticism and ideas welcome.
Suggestions for background music (preferably from the Audio Portal) would be mega-awesome. Thanks. =]

Are you planning on putting in a randomizer to build random faces??

Thats a feature that I would want.

trying lowering the volume in the sound clip before importing it into flash.

also try changing the publish settings to increase sound quality.

We think that that is fine. What isn't fine, is the athletes (hockey, baseball, basketball players) getting 8 million $ per year.

At least the NDP wants to help the working class.

Well with the concept of free market, you charge what the market will bare. The market, with tv rights, merchanise, etc will bare the players being paid millions.

In the 70's player in MLB were paid about double the average amercian income (50000). MLB was very popular and profitable. Were did the profits go? The owners.

Do you really want it to go back to that system.... if not are you suggesting no more free market because the reality is that sports MAKE that much money. It needs to go somewhere.

No free market was tried in both Russia and China... both times it resulted in massive underproduction of food (due to collectivized farming) starvation and death.

The problem with the socialist outlook is that people aren't inhereintly good. If given the chance people will do jack shit and be happy about it. Most people need insentive to succeed.

Your cousin packs boxes part time, your cousin packs boxes illegally, or your cousin is being screwed on his paycheck and should go to the labour board.

Its per person, the petition never mentioned "per family" or such. A couple can earn up to a little more than $3000 a month and not cross the line into being considered rich.

Plus, $1600 is still a high amount of cash, considering that a person in the worker's class has to live with around $900 a month or so.

Who the hell lives on $900 a month in Canada.... your spewing gibberish and you know it. I'm a student and live a student lifestyle... I carry no debt because I teach, do research, and have scholarships. After my tuition I'm left with A little under 2000 a month. It is by no means a glarious lifestyle.

A reality check for you.... 900 a month is somebody who works minimum wage part time. $1600 a month is somebody working fulltime at or below minimum wage (depending on province).

Your petition is nonsense.

Statements like this will hurt your lawsuit if you pursue one... that said I would suggest not swerving, just getting on the brakes until you have identified the 'obstacle'.

Does anybody seriously want to be known as the guy who killed half a little league team in a minivan because an empty dorito bag blew across the road? :P

The lesson which everyone should take away from this... f*** the animal. If you see a fuzzy creature on the road DO NOT SWERVE. Take your foot off the gas and gently apply the brake. Don't panic and kill somebody for a squirrel or cat.

If you have larger animals in your region (like moose or bear) how this situation should be handled should be covered in your driver training. It is effectively the same thing, just brake harder.

Good to hear there were no serious injuries.

I am currently filling it in digitally with Paint Tool SAI.
I edited the nose and mouth a little in the digital version also.

I feel that your style has stretched the head and face a little more than would normally be found in manga. The are are to the extreme. I would go for something a little 'rounder'. I 'squished' the head in photoshop to show you what I meant about being stretched.

I hope you don't mind. (The last person I did a visual edit for wasn't pleased with it.)

I agree with Forbid on this topic.... sort out our flash compiling issues (determine if its a size problem or related to specific animations, determine the appropriate solution from there). If size becomes too large then use a special submit through Wade. I hope it isn't seperated.

Maybe is because Canadians have figured out that you can effectively search the portal / userpages / etc by using google and typing: Newgrounds 'whatever the hell you want to find'

thx for your input, i am trying to get voice actors together so i can start with the story part.

I should be available if you need voice work done. Send me a pm or post something here. For a general request.

*starts practicing bad british accents*

I realize that this post isn't music related.

I would change the jump button from e to w unless you have something special in mind for the w key. You haven't actually shown a reason to baulk standard control schemes.

Awesome idea btw.

Good luck anyway.
