Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I don't know whats going on, but all of the sudden it doesn't matter what game I play, it lags big time. I rarely have an issue with lag and flash games. Now its insane, makes playing most games un-enjoyable
:(

Thoughts? Ideas as to why?

Thanks!

Read the section about blamming/saving.

I did. (Again just now, and 10x or more before)

100 votes: 1.0
150 votes: 1.25
200 votes: 1.60

I just cant find how many votes are req. for it to be blammed or saved, i thought it was 100-200, or something like that. Think about how many 2.0 and less garbage flashes there are that make it through judgement.

I thought it was completly removed in this case...

Another possibility is that the author removed it himself once it passed judgment.

I didnt think authors could remove their flash, and I have contacted the author.

Whilst i do agree with what you are saying, there is nothing you can do, besides voting fairly on things that are under judgement, instead of aiming to get B/P points.

So now everyone posting in General is just trying to get B/P points? Dude I could care less about these points.

That sucks :(

I suppose it could be the authors fault for uploading a flash with a broken preloader.

No, it did work...for me anyways, the whole game worked, and everyone who reveiwed it, said it didn't...Thats another reason I was curious and wanted to know this stuff.

Oh well I guess this kinda thing happens, 1 thing I was curious about, is your not allowed to re-submit things with out making it better...but this was good it was awsome! In a case like this are they allowed to re-submit?

I was just recently playing Bouncy Bouncy Elemental. A nice little game that seems very original. (It was under judgement)

You watch a peice of food fall, and using a physics engine it makes it fall, you must draw lines to make it go to the animal [snail]. You can draw your lines before watching it fall, its just easyier.

I found the ball to fall nicely, and I liked the physics engines. It got 4 reviews (All wrong about what they say)...

I normaly would have just left it, not much I can do, but it died with a score of 2.5/5

...Am I missing something here, or isnt that a save?

I mean all the garbage that makes it through with less than 2, and now this? Whats going on?

Here you go

Anything like this happening to you guys?

No. Sorry about your luck tho...all though doesnt look like your 19 anyways (doesnt matter either way) be glad you at least have the beer, and remember its not about the alcohol.

Also not to brag, Im lucky enough to have part 24's of the dhown beers, and some more alcohol else where...and wine :)

hope the picture still looks good, I have never re-sized something from 1.3 MB to 106 kb before

I don't know how many of you are lucky to be of age...(some countrys have no age really), but Im 21. So I can drink everywhere (I think) W00t!

What is everyones favorite or best drinking games?

I know so many, and some I dont even know the names, but I like to play with a tiwst. You can't drink unless the game makes you. I think it adds to it, and theres two sides to the game.

Having to drink to much, or not getting to drink. Of course if your thirsty you can awlays opt out to chug a lug and join in later.

I like more relaxing ones for the most part. But do enjoy sport type one (You know with stuff like basketball, you score oposite team drinks their 'drink' each)
-by 'drink' I mean everyone decides what '1 drink' means for them, it can be anything from a mouthful of beer, to full shots, to full beers. This way I find its more fair, and fun.

Some relaxing ones would be card games. You just make your own rules up for every card by number and or suit. So when you play that card, any way fom crazy 8 style to just flipping them up, you do your 'rule' you set to the card.

Or watch family guy and drink, say every time peter laughs. Anything you want with anything. Full to do with real people and you don't tell the person. So use the laugh example and when they laugh everyones drinking, and where theres a lot of people (5+) I bet it freaks some people out.

So thats enough naming some off, what are all yours?

Or diffrent ways you all play?

So thats a no for telling them if I voted 0-1?

But it is ok to tell them if its 2-5 right?

They could be shy, or not know what to say.

Or its how they deal with not being angry, just forgeting about it all together.

Myself, I try to make jokes about shit like that...to a point. Some people need to be told.

Whens the last time you drank good ol' Heinz [or any brand] a tomato juice?

Its needed for that!

So now that im 100% sure your sick of my questions, and after today I'll start to just write them down in word pad, save them. And post my questions once a day, as Im sure its going to make things easier. "That was easy"

For the BBS In "General" The rules for "say;
-From 'The big Ones'

"If you break these rules, you'll earn an instant ban regardless of which moderator sees the post(s)."

"Discussing illegal activities - including, but not limited to: ROMs, cracks, warez and hacking."

So my question is. Does this include everything thats illegal. We cant say anything about it?

Or that maybe youc ant say certain things...Or just certain things, about certain things.

I got that problem too. Maybe I just favourited too many people?

Maybe it is a glitch like scarb said.. IDk. When I'm done being lazy I'll PM a mod.

All my canned goods need one. I have an eletric and a hand operated, as well as the option to use my swiss army knife...or a rock.

Things I need them for;

Beans.
Soup.
Chesse sauce, and other various sauces including cranberry.
Tomatoes, and other various canned fruits and veggies.

MAANY MANY other canned goods...

Stuff that I have seen here in Canada, Ont that comes with a pull tab;

Chili
Pre-made soup (some)
And those little mini dessert things.

Also don't forget how much better it is to use a can opener, that means they are using less materails, which is important for many things. Even if it brings the cost down for us consumers should be enough.

DOWN WITH PULL TABS!!!!

What do you think NG?

People like that are insignificant, and sych 'bullshit' should be treated as such and ignorned. Yourover reacting and this is bullshit

So many answers to such a smiple question.

To start with I'll mention that you get water from more than just water. Meat, cheese, milk etc, even beer, coffee and pop gives you some water. They are diaretics (or however you spell it) yes. They just push water out fast (peeing lots is good, means your hydrated)

Also you can absorb water through all parts of your body, we are 80% water or more. Im guessing depending on how hydrated or de-hydrated you are, it could be geting absorbed right away, while if you dont need it so much, more while be digested (just like all other tings go thtough in the body.

I don't know exactly how the shit and piss gets seperated, but Im sure all 'liquids' are the same when your healthy.

Hi, its me again. Hope you dont mind answering another...

So as you know I have a template I have been following, well I was reading Lizzardis' lesson on reviewing

So like my template, Lizzardismentions saying what you voted... but! If your voting 0-1, and you say in your review that, isnt that against the rules?

"Do not use reviews to express your feelings that the entry should be BLAMMED. If you post "BLAM this" or something similar you will be banned. Use the review option to tell the author how they can improve their work."

Or do you have to use WORDS to get into trouble with it?

I actually also thought about this while reviewing a submission i thought should be blammed, but I was only helpful I didnt say I was voting 0, or that I wanted to blam it. I just wanted to know for future reviews.

I know Lizzardis said the MODs said it was ok, but I dont know if they read it, or if it was over looked.

Thanks again for answering my questions.

That was an exellent video, thanks for the link. I'll have to check the other one out later.

reminded me of Mr. Chan because of the funny parts, and all the kick ass moves, and him not trying to fight.

To bad I don't speak french...

Hey a couple quick questions.

1stly, the picture I attached. "Some account type thingy here." Is this something that has furture plans, or is it a joke or something?

2ndly, I don't seem to be receiving e-mail notification when my favorite flash artists make new ones.

It was answerd in another post but I think I misunderstood.

You will get e-mails anytime that artist makes a new flash.

So I went into "My Account" and then into "General information" and seen;

"Receive NG news updates? "
"Receive daily Flash Portal Top 5 notices? "

Both where checked yes. Is there maybe something wrong with my e-mail? Or am I looking at the wrong thing?

Thanks.

I would have told her off (nicely).

And said that shes disgusting that you had flem and had to spit it out.

Then if she persisted. I would have asked "So you never had flem before?"

If she said no I would call her a "Fucking lair" and if she said she did but never spit it out I would call her a "Fucking idiot"

And then walk away if she stayed. And there would be no chance of her following me because I would run so fast she would even have time to open her yap.

Anyone who says you can have 'excess' of those ...well somethings wrong with them.

Thank you. That actually helps matters a lot for me. I'll stick to my template I made, unless the flash is short or something, and PM artists otherwise. Thanks a lot for the example. I think a short example or saying like that in the rules would help. I dont know if only Im the one to take so long getting it lol.

Thanks, that makes me feel better, because almost 50% of mine are epic, 30% is great, 10% average, and 10% one liners (hope thats not to much...)

And do you take a quick look at a few pages or just recent ones? because if I am lazy feeling or tired I watch 5-10 flashes a day. Rate, vote, comment. It would show that my most recent ones are all kinda short 1 liners. Because if its easier I can just not reveiw unless Im going to use my template, which I think helps me write reveiws 20x better because I dont forget anything.

-Now I dont comment on ALL flashes, sometimes Im extra lazy lol, I may wright short reveiws when Im tired but only when voting high, because I think they deserve it.

Because on the flip side, not one should ever vote under 7 w/o a reason, I think anyways.

Sorry Im asking so many questions on something that should be simple.

Wait, wait. I just asked about this post that got deleted

Title: Hahahah

(With how ever many haha's I cant remmeber, something like that)

See I was emplying how funny it was...If I added

-Thats to emply how hilarious this video is.

Would that help? Sorry for asking again Malachy, its just I got cunfuzled. Then again all Mods are diffrent right?

I have tried reading the rules a few times, I like not getting banned lol, but there isnt really a minimum standerd given. Or maybe there is, maybe Im just not smart lol.

I mean I have a new template that gives huge, good reviews I dont see my reviews getting deleted anymore, but sometimes Im tired for the day, and just want to quicky say it was good and give them a rank, because the reviews help flashes that need high scores right?

Thanks again for helping me understand :)

Do you mean the options at to go to my edit account section?

Theres 2 boxes
Receive NG news updates?
Receive daily Flash Portal Top 5 notices?

Both are checked yes, and I have seen some people have made new flashes, and I didnt get any emails.

Am I in the wrong thing? Thanks. I looked but couldnt see any other options, but then again it took me a month to figure out how to add favorites (The heart with the + sign)

Hey, I just recently started adding people that are good at flashes to my favs list to know when more of their kick ass work comes out.

However I just realised this isnt Youtube, I dont get anything telling me when they make new flashes. (I think)

I was jusy wondering if its possible to make it so its like youtube, and when my favorites submit something I'm emailed or sent a notice on Newgrounds. I think this would be a really kool feature to add if its not all ready)

The reason is I have a really slow connection, and theres no way I can go through even the 10 favs I have no and check them all to see if they even have new stuff. So unless this feature exists and I missed it, I think it would be great to have.

Thanks if or if not it can be done.

Sorry for bumping this so soon, but it got pushed down fast.

I didnt see a tech. section in the forums, but could someone please give me a site I could maybe goto to help me or something?

Thanks.

Hey everyone,

Hopefully one of you wont mind taking a second to help the technicaly inclined.

I can't seem to download the newest Java, as it messes my computer up to the point where I need to restart my computer from an earlyer date (what ever that is called). I have to do this because Videos (Youtube). Won't work, and NewGrounds doesnt either.

But as it is now 1/2 the time I can get to the page where the flash is, but I can't click on 'watch video/game now'

Other times, it'll load, and I'll watch the ENTIRE video, close it, and for some reason can't vote 'voting enabled after movie loads'

This can also happen after logging in, that I can't vote.

Another thing is sometimes videos will 1/2 load and refreshing doesnt fix the problem, it will keep 1/2 loading and say its done.

Tools -> Internet Options -> [Delete cookies +Delete files + Delete History] sometimes fixes the problems, but not always.

Sometimes (but not always) Pages will load 'but with errors on page' I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but that happens sometimes.

Thanks for reading all this. And anyhelp is appreaciated...oh yeah my specs.

Browser: Internet explorer
Operating sys: Windows XP [professional version] service pack 3
Video card: Nvidia Geforce 7900
RAM: 2Mb

Its a new MDG, maybe 2 months of semi-light run time, and I can gaureente no viruses.

Thanks again for even reading this. All help would be great.

And if versions of Internet Explorer, and Java are important, let me know and I'll have to look around to find em, as I don't know where they are.

I know that the other program this site uses (Flash), I have version 10.Somethingorever

Hello everyone,

Im less than a noob when it comes to flash. Firstly I have to say I love this site. So many awsome flash game/movies and artists here.

What are some good flash sites for dummies. Remember I know nothing. (almost)

What are some good programs that are free to download, if not what are some cheap ones I can buy at an actual store. or is there no cheaping out, and Im doomed to pay a cool $100 to get something decent?

When I was in grade 9. I did take a programming class and could write programs with if statements or something like that. Now I can handle telling it what to do, and if charcter does blah blah, then whatever happens.

Its the drawing I can't do...I could handle decent backgrounds to put sprites up. But Im I just allowed to use anyones sprites to make my own masterpeice? I would give the original sprite owners credit of course.

Or is there even programs to assist with drawing?...I can draw in real life, but using art to draw...ouch cant even do stick men...

Thanks.

Ps. Sorry Im sure theres 100 posts like this, but I dont have the time to sort through them all, especaily since I had specific questions, so please don't delete this just because its been asked.
Thanks again.
