Ah, was it really that good? Ah, I'll check it out sooner or later. And I'm going to be honest, I like chick flicks (: Heh, I'm a loser I know. But for some reason, I'm a sucker for cute romantic movies. Also, I know what Hollywood does to movie. Adds all those special effects and changes the whole dialogue basically to make it the way THEY want it. Blehh.

It's about a traveller called Richard who goes off travelling, then finds this beach community Island and becomes a part of it. Very good read.

The book my friend told me about is about a boy who writes to various people that really don't know him about his everyday problems and life. Eh, let me copy it from the wikipedia page x] I haven't read the book yet so yeah.
"The story takes the form of a series of letters to an anonymous friend written by the narrator, a teenager who calls himself Charlie (his real name is never mentioned).

The story explores topics such as introversion, teenage sexuality, and the awkward times of adolescence. The book also touches strongly on drug use and Charlie's experiences with this. As the story progresses, various works of literature and film are referenced and their meanings discussed.

The story takes place during the 1991-1992 school year, when Charlie is a high school freshman. Charlie is the wallflower of the novel. He is an unconventional thinker, and as the story begins he is shy and unpopular."

Alex Garland btw is the guy who wrote the screenplay for 28 Days Later, and wrote an initial draft of the Halo movie.

Ahh, I gotcha. I never actually heard of him honestly. I'll look into it though. I heard 28 Days Later was suppose to be good. And about the Halo movie, usually Video Game movies aren't so good. But in my opinion, I enjoy them. Even though some people didn't like the Resident Evil movies, I did. And they are planning to make a third. Oh boy. x]

I quite like reading too, do you do that much? I havent read anything this year but I did read a few things last year.

Ah, I'm glad you are interested. I honestly am pretty good at writing, I'm just brainstorming right now, trying to figure out the whole storyline and what not. I do enjoy reading novels that I am actually interested into. I'm really into "mysteries" and things I can relate too. [like the teenage lifestyles.]

I haven't really been reading lately besides some ghetto magic trick book, but I really want to read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." My friend Victoria recommended it to me actually, she said it was a pretty good book, so I'll give it a go. It kinda relates to my lifestyle as it is, minus the drugs. :]

Those stickers look pretty damn awesome, well Nene looks a bit weird though (:

Writing a Novel

Hm, I think I may write a novel. Would anyone be interested if I wrote one? :] I'm being dead serious though, For some reason, I've been getting this urge to write somewhat of a story that may change people's looks and perspective on things. I'm very inspired.

Don't flame me. Please. :]

If you were looking for seriousness I would of done something well, more serious. I just didn't know the overall feeling of the collab was gonna be that. I thought it was just the end of the world. Anyway, I put some time into it, so I'd like for it to be used. But by all means, I accept that my part was clearly inappropiate I guess so it's your decision. Just sucks that I wasted like 2 hours for nothing. : /

Well, I honestly wouldn't like it in the collab. I could put it in the EXTRAS maybe, if you'd like it to? I don't quite know, but I want this collab to be more on the serious side, other than killing Steve Irwin. :(

Why is that?

Yeah, I find it rather stupid to leave again. And just show up for a collab? If you want to just participate in a collab and try to disguise as a reg...than don't even bother, if you're going to leave. :(

Yeah, I'm going to Canada on July 18th, and coming home around the 25th.

I'll look around until than to exchange my money and get a passport :D

It can take 10-12 weeks to get a passport... and they cost like $100!
http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_173 8.html

I realized that recently honestly. It's like 70 bucks for adults and 50 bucks for Children. I have a feeling, I may have to wait to go to Canada until Mid-Spring. Sometime during Spring break. Oh well.

I still have to book my trip for California, next year. [comic con 2008.] I'm definitely going. (:

Comic Con 2007

Speaking of Comic Con, who's going to this years? :D

Surveys and What not !

Well, the people that are surveying people are "Surveyors." So ...Wouldn't it be, "Surveyees?" Or say like "The people that are being surveyed."

I don't quite know. ://

Re: Passports/Money Exchange

Thanks for all the help guys. Yeah, I'm going to Canada on July 18th, and coming home around the 25th. So yeah. I'm just visiting a few friends. I may take a train instead though, since it's a 16 hour drive from where I currently live [new jersey.] I'm just going up to Nova Scotia, though. I should like go to Quebec and get shot, but that's too far for me <3

I'll look around until than to exchange my money and get a passport :D

Currency

Let's say I'm in the US, and planning to drive up to Canada for a weekend. How would I trade over my US currency to Canadian? I heard it's US 1.00 - CANADIAN 1.05

So, where would I trade my money off too? Do you go to a local bank? I don't quite know.

Passports

Also, do you need a passport to DRIVE into another country? I'm aware you need it to fly, but drive?

Thanks in advance.

Also, that red stuff in the background scenes on Earth, what are those? Touch that part up a bit. Otherwise its pretty good : )

I agree. I think the destroyed moon, in the background of the earth perspective should be touched up a bit. It doesn't really look like a destructive earth, it kinda looks like something else...-_-

Well, just smooth the animation of the earth exploding, it seems like it lags a bit. And we don't want any lagging ;) Another thing is, make the tweening moon in the beginning a bit faster.

Thanks in advance !

Hate to be a bitch, but could you simulate a download, so we can actually see the preloader working?

Hm, alright. Let me get a huge file or something to make it look like it's actually loading. I'll put it before one of my flashes on newgrounds really quick.

Ewh, after seeing it..load. I really don't like it :(

Man, I wish something came along in my life as easy as that is. I really need to make a few bucks by making simple things. Ah, I'll see what comes around. I guess, I'll just look out for things.

Flash you're currently working on?

Well, I've been organizing "The Apocalypse Collab," and a few side projects. I have to make the menu for "The Beer Collab." I also am making a game, plus a few music video series for an album debut, I really like. :)

How about you kids?

Well thank you. I just reread your post and I noticed the whole situation was misunderstood. I thought you were saying you had no problem with me but "fuck you" ah. I gotcha. Thank you for clearing that up. I appreciate it.

I'm going to be PMing you so please look out for it.

If I don't hear from them than I'll have to cut them from the collab. I'm giving them a week to show themselves or they'll be dropped.

I have also sent PMs to everyone that hasn't finished a part yet. So expect one.
Thank you.

Keep me updated or YOU WILL be cut from the collab.

Hm, I haven't talked to Vengeance yet recently. I may just work alone honestly.

This is a pretty good idea. I think we should get the good ol' NG Collabs back up. Even though it was rather dead at times, it would help organize the Flash Forum a bit. Rather than all these Collab threads, we'll have a place for them once again.

I sure hope this goes through. :)

hope u like it, coz im giving it as ENDED...

I'm really digging your part now. I'm really glad you decided to re-edit it. The oil/gas looks way better as well with the whole animation in general. Thank you for putting hard work into this.

Well, I like it but it's so different from the original collab. I'll use it though, even though it's not the best. It's a pretty easy concept, I just hope it doesn't offend some people due to the whole death of Steve Irwin and all. So we have two comedy breaks in the collab. The Bush Joke by CheektoGhetto, and now the Death of Steve Irwin. Argh.

At 6/25/07 06:31 PM, chubbthehippo wrote: Is it too late to join?

Well, honestly I closed entering this collab about a week ago. If you'll be dependable and hardworking, than you'll probably be able to be in this collab. Definitely. Just PM me or something, maybe we can work something out.

Later on tomorrow, I'll be posting the final user list. I'll be cutting people really soon. So if you're not active, expect to be cut from the main project.

Thank you.

Luis's Youtube.

That's Luis's Youtube page. He has like three videos from Mod Meet on there if anyone is interested. Since he's obviously lazy and doesn't want to post it. :]

List of Videos:

Fun W/ Absinthe
About Video: Funk tries Absinthe. Hilarity ensues. You also hear Super Mario music in the background during the beginning seconds. :]

Secrets to Success
About Video: Plans for the Newgrounds redesign revealed.... Top secret yo. Cock Jokes = More Profit.

That's for the lazy people. I thought I'd post it since I have nothing else better to do. :D

If you read previous posts, the due date is June 30th. But we may have to extend it to July 15th. And we may use some music from Linkin Park. I don't quite know yet, I'll see what syncs better with the finished piece.

Heh, I got rather bored and made Vengeance. <3
It's not that good since I whipped it up quickly but that's angry Nick :] Love him for who he is.

I would honestly love to thank you for your awesome post. I'm glad you're on my side, and I'm also glad you enjoy my work. I may have alot of submissions under my belt in which aren't so good since they were created when I came into the flash scene. I do plan on releasing some new and improved work soon though.

This thread is just pathetic in general. I can't really explain on how crazy this feud has become. Anyone can put their input on this argument and clearly see who owns who. :]

O yeah, Gods about that girl. You had to say that to me because my name is really girlish, Rudy's name is not a girl name :S

Rudy isn't exactly my name. My last name is Ruediger, and that's basically where the name Rudy came from. If you ever have a chance to stop by a video store, go check out the movie "RUDY." It has some dude, named Rudy Ruediger, and somehow I'm related to him. :] My name is Sean though. So yeah.

Thanks everyone for their little input to this marvelous thread. I shall put this in the records of Sean Ruediger.

Cheers !
