Wow, that is sadening. I didn't know that until now, but I remember this guy VERY well. His matches vs Chris Jericho were some of the most memorable WWE/F matches ever.

If B/P is good, that's all that matters. It's going better than normal for me, but workdays (Mon - Thu, sometimes Fri) will always be extremely slow. I did have a pretty good weekend B/P wise for myself, though. For once!!! =p

As Sterockicy is away I'll be doin the Barracks update in a couple of hours. I'm sorry if it's a bit late, and people's B/P averages are a bit screwy. Its one of the disadvantages of living in different timezones. And be nice if there are errors, I only got a crash course and it's quite complicated. You have been warned :P

It's cool that someone is stepping up while he's away. And beggars can't be choosers so whatever you give us, I'll be happy. I know it's a ton of work.

Oh on a lighter note, I got 10000 B/P a while back. No screen shot and it happened about a week ago, just thought I'd tell people. Congrats to others that achieved, I've missed too many pages to check.

10K b/P? Wow. You are a hardass. Congratulations, my friend.

Yay Slash is back :D

No! BOOOO!!!! =p

naw, it's a good thing. He's the only Slash we've got. But I don't want ANY MORE!

DAMNIT! I mean... hi! Good to... see you? Finally? FINALLY!!!

My computer is still utter shit, though. :-(

So is mine. I sent it in for repairs last week.

I'm working on my Clock Day 2007 flash already, but it's...not easy going. Mainly because attempting to publish a flash has about a 90% chance of force-restarting my computer, bah. So what I've been doing is just tinkering in .fla, and I'll likely send the completed work to someone else to convert to .swf (unless I can find some way to fix my machine).

I can give you a hand when the time comes if you still need it. No problem-o.

I'm liking what I have so far, though. I think it'll be much better than my '06 Clock Day flash, heh.

That can't be too hard, eh? ;-)

I hear the new update is near at hand? Someone e-mail me (slashfirestorm@inbox.com) or message me on my Myspace when it goes down, so I won't be left out of the loop.

Supposively it's close. Who really knows anymore, though. I just figure that when it comes, it comes. I'm not crossing my fingers for it.

I'm gonna cream myself when it's finally done...

Nice to know?

This is my periodic check-in. A little while back I reached EG Colonel, the last of the gold badges. With my current BP rate, it will take forever to reach the leaf badges, but they're next on the agenda. The 9.19 vote power is pretty nice. A couple of people were mentioning BP rank...I think I'm at #186 or so, goes up one or two, then drops one or two. I think I've been at that number for about six months, at least it feels like it.

Well, unlike some... I won't downplay that achievement as it is quite something. It took me a long time to crack 1,000 so to get up where you are is quite impressive. Best of luck trucking away at that. I've got quite a ways to go. =)

I'm very impressed with all the additions to the NG Log. It seems like every time I log in there, a new feature has been added. Kudos to whoever is updating that and adding all the cool features.

I am as well. I hadn't really started going there again until recently and I can't think of much more that could be added, but there is so much more than a few months ago. It's really awesome now.

The portal isn't too bad today, bt yesterday it had a lot of pure CRAP in it. I can only watch so many Flash movies about ketchup bottles and clocks with dicks... what a stupid day it was.

Got some decent points for once, though so that's good. 6.1% to my next rank... hehe. A ways to go. I'm ranked #960 in B/P which is pretty cool. Passed top 1,000 the other day. Again. =p

It's actually less to just buy it than go to the movies, but then there's the whole theater experience and awesome picture and sound I miss out on.

I don't go to the movies all that often. Mostly when the biggest movies are out or when both me and my gf really want to see something.

Holy shit, you aren't kidding! The movie theater near me costs $10.75 a ticket now. What is odd is it's getting more and more expensive to go, right? But there are also more and more (God I hate them) COMMERCIALS before the movie now, so you KNOW they're banking on those. They are just raking in the cash now. >=( It would be nice if they passed a little of the savings onto us, ya know?

Yeah, not in this world, though.

Great to see people like my poll so far. Some great answers as well. =)

And to answer my own poll: I come here for the movies. In fact, I rarely play games unless they're in the portal. Then I just play to see how well they are put together and vote accordingly. You know that "Newgrounds Rumble" game? Yeah. I could care less about it.

Give me funny movies or movies with a great plot. I don't care if it does or does not have violence in it, just that if it does, that it is done well and not for no reason at all.

I also usually hate "omg so random!!!" movies as they are usually obviously forced to be random.

Graphics aren't a huge attraction to me either if it's just funny or has a cool story, though downright awful graphics or animation will affect how I feel. Average is just fine with me. Not everyone can be Adam Phillips like it seems a lot of people are demanding these days...

Those are my thoughts on that.

As for the portal right now, it = suck ass. There were 6 in "UJ grey" on the Flash Portal screen, but only 3 were actually UJ. I'm not going to make my next rank very quickly at all at this rate. Oh, ***bleeping*** well.

They will come, man and you'll get to this B/P level before you know it, most likely. I mean, look how long I've been on NG and I'm just now getting here. I admit right now I hardly b/p at a steady stream, but I certainly have my weeks here and there where I sit on NG and watch Flash movies in the portal and out and vote all day.

It's a great way to kick back and relax and laugh or see cool new things EVERY DAY. That's why NG is great. It's ever-changing with new stuff coming out every few minutes. I mean, how many sites can actually say that? not that damn many, that's for sure.

That's ok, Tom. Everyone's allowed to have one of those days here and there and like many authors on this site I feel the same overload all the time.

Great ideas are many, but time to animate is slim. It feels like I can't get what I want out there, but when I do get it out it's like it gets buried in the portal at times. But, I live for my reviews less than my overall score so that's what keeps me going (albeit slowly).

Head up, man! The site kicks ass and your rightful days in the spotlight will come!

Oh, I see. Yeah, it's a sarcastic title. I mean, the movie itself is not a POS, but the name of it comes from what the movie is about, not because it's "OMG The Best Movie I've Ever Seen!!!!"

It's a comedy about NG and two artists trying to get front page with a horrid piece of Flash so they hold a well-known artist hostage and try to force Tom into putting it on the front page.

Yeah, I saw your Ackbar, back when it was in the portal. I thought it was okay, nothing really special or worth being invited to a Crew/Club/Gang/Union/Group-of-Mediocre-Flash-

Artists. I think I gave it a 1, because of the mass amounts of BBQ-style crap coming in, and I thought this was just one of those slightly less of a piece of crap.

Yeah, there was some fancy shit on there (literally), but nothing worth really giving anything over a 3 on.

You would give THAT a 3 and my awesomely fantabulous BBQish movie a 1?!?!?! =(

Meh, it's been an okay week or 2 for me, so I'm in a bad mood, even with the end of school only 2 days + finals away.

How in the hell can you not be extatic right now? I remember whenever the end of the school year was like 2 WEEKS away it seemed like party time. Think of the good times, man! The good times!

Summer's almost here, girls will be wearing a lot LESS, watermelon, girls will be half-naked, swimming, girls in bathing suits, NOT freezing your ass off because it's actually nice outside, girls dripping of sweat as they remove their all-too-warm tops...

No one cares about you to remember about your "head-poking-in". Although me responding shows some respect....

Everyone cares. People love me. At least they better!

I've actually been in Germany the last 5 1/2 weeks and internet time was pretty low since sites kinda sucked with the hotel internet.

At least you were able to get cheap, good beer and probably had a good time. But as for the internet, hotels aren't too good for Wi-Fi or even cable internet

What sucks is they ONLY had Wi-Fi. Even if you plugged into their ethernet port it really was just a Wi-Fi hub that sucked more than the one on the laptop I was using. =(

Luckily I got an absolute shitload done in my up-and-coming animation "You Love This Movie" which should be out in the next month or so. It's going to be about 1 minutes of animation with tons of extras. If you haven't, check out the trailer "YLTM" to see a Newgrounds icon get pasted and in that is a link to the alpha.

Saw it before; looks pretty good, although sounds like it'll get about a 2.5

What'll get a 2.5? "You Love This Movie"? Are you insane? The trailer got a 3.5 and the feature length is going to be the best damn thing I've ever made and since I've got over a 3.95 rating on NG, I'd say this bad boy is due for a Daily if the dude I am working on it with and I do things right (which we are).

Also got "BBQish Ackbar" done and it's on NG as well. Not my usual style, but I saw a joke and had to go with it.

Meh, I'm not a big fan of BBQ Ackbar, although I was a huge fan of the original BBQBBM.

Not sure if you watched the link in my sig or if you're talking about my movie or not, so I'll go on the assumption you haven't. The movie is about BBQ vs Ackbar and the thefting of BBQ's ideas by Ackbar. BBQBBM actually saw it and thought it was good enough to invite me into the Clock Crew, which I turned down only due to time constraints. =( But it was damn cool to get invited by him of all people! =)

Anyway, I can highly suggest that odd Paris Hilton Dress-up that is on the front page right now. There's nothing like a game where you can strip off Paris's hair and take the dog poop off the ground and place it on her dome. Or in her mouth and other body crevices.

Meh, I thought it was alright. I'm not a big fan of dress up games; just about anyone can make one, and who wants to dress some one up?

Man, you're just a ray of sunshine today aren't ya'? I thought it was on par for a fun dress-up. Sure dress-ups are easy to make, but there was a lot of code put into this one which is pretty obvious when using it and makes it a hell of a lot better than 90% of the dress-ups on NG. She opens and closes her hands, the leash is ActionScripted, you can take a mug shot when you're done (which I thought was cool) and, well, you can put a ball of shit on her head! HA! What more could anyone want than that??? Nothing, I tells ya'!

Watched it, thought it was decent. Although, you didn't use the real BBQBBM model, nor the speakonia (or whatever it is) that it uses, it was still funny. 3/5

I actually made my own BBQ as I had no idea there was a pack or model anywhere. Which is actually ok with me since it was good practice. And I only use speakonia for clocks and robots. =p Actually, I used the voice of bbq when he is voice acted. At least as close as I could. Courtney Leacock is tough to top. (I know. I've used him)

To Original Post:

I feel the game iteself wasn't too bad and was playable, but the whole week that followed the tragedy showed the absolute worst in Newgrounds and this game is a direct example of poor taste.

Yes I do feel that it should be taken down as he's trying to make a profit from it. It's just tasteless. I mean, people FROM VATech use this site, too you know. They should have to put up with this crap.

Update from me:

Well, I'm still in Germany and busy as hell normally. Had today off so I made the following attrocity:

email all lines to ff.entertainment@yahoo.com please.

QUEEN ANT
I'll need someone for a Queen Ant. Try to talk like royalty. Pronounced and proud. Maybe even try an English accent, though that is not a requirement.

Feel free to play with the words a little bit with her to fit your accent or way you make her speak.

Lines:
"I can have my children do that for you, my good sir. We're carpenter ants."

"Perfect! It’ll take three weeks to fix your ship."

PAMELA ANDERSON
This is a one-liner. Feel free to send in a few different examples. The line I choose will be used in the movie. No need for a redo.

"Help! My breasts have crushed and trapped my arms!"

I thank you very much in advance! Good luck and happy voice acting!
