Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy or anything, but it seems like social engineering at times. Despite all those cautionary movies from the 80's, about how bad America can get if we welch on our values, the fiction became the truth. Junk science, junk movie plots... either way, 'reforming' public opinion costs dough, and both (US) parties and their lunatic fringes are at it |:

The problem is the more you tell a lie/story, the more real it becomes.... like old ladies gossiping on foursquare, if the lies are talked about often enough, others begin to accept it as fact. So I guess Hollywood doesn't have a corner on sedition, slander, defamation of character.... they just have corporate management aiming the way.

Oh, I know it's not all pr0n, but our man Tom says, 2 different ad-men said, there's no way it can be on the same server....

It's rather annoying, as I know for a fact that Youtube has some less than safe for work content on it, yet sponsorship groups are literally sucking Googles cock to get on board over there. Surely there's some loophole around this. Splitting up an already small website just inevitably leads to disaster, and complete collapse of community.

Fuckin' A, I'm with you and @SCTE3, our security/generic age vetting should be plenty good. But you know, it comes down to the same thing: if you're not a Fortune 500 company, you're little people and have to bend over backward for the law, while YouTube (eg) lets the bent material on it's own servers, stay bent |:

And now freedom of (shit) speech is RIP, eh? *thppppppppppppppt*

Congrats to the winners, great bunch of entries yesterday...

Yeah, the communist part of the Democratic party calls themselves 'progressives'.

And let's not quibble, it's a guy and his real name is Tom Neuwirth. If it has a penis, it's a guy, right? At there didn't seem to be a category for best man/woman in this competition... otherwise, a guy winning in the female category would hopefully raise more of a stink |:

Didn't see the show myself, but I'm guessing he earned the title, so good for him.

'Freddy Got Fingered'.
That and 'Attack of the Killer Tomatoes', and certainly the ones that followed.

Tom swears that he can't get any good ad-rev coming in, because there's porn on the server |: Sponsorship groups won't touch it. All the 18+ stuff's gotta be moved off NG, if it's going to survive. Hopefully, the 2 sites will have a shared log in... doubt it :\

Might happen. Tom's still looking to spin off NG's adult stuff, to another website owned by Newgrounds. More than that, I can't say... only that the adult's site's proposed name, is quite snazzy. 'Dirty Chat, no features ever!'

Scavenger/soldier. I'll be in the armored ice cream truck, bringing sweets and ammo to all the good boys and girls, otherwise, they'll get dealt lead sprinkles. I'll also have the world's last piece of chocolate....

I joined primarily to check out the music community as well as post my own original music -- but I figured I'd post the games that I've help make too. The problem is, the game that I want to show is an app game for mobile device, not a browser game. I just want to show the gameplay trailer on youtube (though still within the new grounds browser), and have a link that goes to my website for a free download of my game for people who want to play it. FIRST OF ALL, is that appropriate? If so, how do I go about doing this? Do I post it under Games/ Movies/ Misc Projects?

Thanks!

Maliskoph

Sure, I don't see any problem with that at all! You can embed a YouTube player in your Newgrounds blog, with links, and add more links to the left sidebar as well (click on the gear thing/account settings, go to websites/contact info).

It had lyrics and it was a sad song. It may have been christmas themed, not sure. But I know it had the words winter/cold and lonely/alone. Can anyone help me find it?

I doubt this is it, but you never know... plus it's a reference point.

Seems weird, I just deleted one. I selected a game, went to the bottom left of the page to select delete, clicked the off-white pop-up to confirm... worked fine for me, but if your game was made in Project Manager's very first beginnings, you may have to PM http://brentheman.newgrounds.com/ and have him remove it... though he might bump it to liljim, dunno. As always, clear your cache and restart your browser, just in case something got miswritten.

Win XP, Flash 12

Nope, not just you! Although in my case, I'm running both of them on an 11 y/o POS laptop that cooks my hands. So, some directx drivers aren't working. If you look in FF help>troubleshooting info, scroll down and you'll see if FF likes your current graphic drivers.

There were at first a long time ago and now no one tries to to get on them. Maybe I am wrong there might be a game that has multiplayer games only on newgrounds (plz tell me if there is) the bottom line is there should be a day every week to play on the old multiplayer games. Like a fun day when people have time to do them.

You should mention this to Tom in his FP newspost... there are very few games that can run multiplayer through NG, there really should be a list/subheading in Games. The other MP games are sponsored ones, and some of them need an offsite account to be able to play... http://www.newgrounds.com/games/browse/genre/adventure-rpg/interval/year/sort/score#interval:all

Yes, though it's not as bad as when it first started (I'm only about 70 miles away from NG). Are you getting anything from Cloudflare DNS onscreen? I'd recommend looking at a web traffic report, but the ones I used to use, seem way more inaccurate than they used to be. Who's your ISP?

I'm hoping to enter the Construct 2 2030 Jam, but since every game I've seen so far on this site is played in a small window without a fullscreen option (that I can see), I was wondering if there's a resolution limit, or specific resolution we should work to?

I'd love to create a game that can be run at full HD 1920x1080, but I'd like to know in advance if that isn't possible here. UI scaling would be a big problem if I design the game to be run at 720p and above, but it only runs at around 480p, so I'm wondering if there's a specific resolution we should be targeting.

Many thanks for reading!

Wish I could help, but you have to keep in mind not everyone who comes here, has a computer that was made in the last few years... besides, zooming in on a browser tab has becoming more commonplace, and somewhat easier. Certain Flash games are aware of this, and purposely keep the game the same size, no matter what you do (difference games, demos).

You could try lurking here http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/forum/7/1/182
Or asking Tom directly on one of his newsposts (if there's a Construct wiki page here, I can't find it) ... this was as close as I can find for an answer... http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1365530/2#bbspost25060744_post_text

Remember years ago on the homepage there was a flash player o the left that played Endless Handbag Loop and showed small clips of animations on this site and one of them was a little guy rapidly punching a black basketballer's balls. Im looking for that flash.

I doubt that's archived outside of Newgrounds... Ask Tom about it in one of his FP newsposts. It was probably made by one of the old staff members, and could still be floating around... sure would make an awesome Unlocked Secret!

Likewise! Yep, all you need is 4 or more of your best works up to be scouted (by someone who's already been scouted). Scouts usually look for quality, and consistently good or improving work.

If you got any more questions, come back and make a new post here!

Hmm, was it released last year? Sounds like that school shooting game that Tom pulled. If you look back in Tom's newsposts... ah, here it is. http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1354761

You'll have to lurk a bit, but the guy who produced it should still have it on his site.

Congrats to the winnahs!

Excellent work by brewstew, and the runner-up game programmers!

Not incompetent so much as unproductive, after all inspiration is only 1%, the rest is from perspiration of the animator/producer. Writers have usually gotten the short end of the stick, but they do play a crucial part in the scheme of things. Some animators and artists have no idea what to do, contextually speaking...

Here are my cartoon's

Not bad. Short and original. A lot of ppl would give their right testicle to see their words animated, and you've had 3 scripts done in less than a year! There have been competitions in the past...

Asperger's sucks. You get born with it, and it's yours for life. Because of it, my perceptions of other people and their emotions need to be highly filtered and analyzed, took almost my requisite school years to figure it out.

However I'm lucky they didn't know what it was when I was growing up. When someone tells you you're different, it skews everything. Being treated as normal forced me to be accountable, and to learn through experience...

Yeah, but if he was Mexican, it'd be more like catch and release. The problem with America is that everything has to be quantified and controlled, no gray areas, or ways to make a buck without regulation. Industrial thieves are on their own :p

If you're a legit migrant worker, or just a poor person who wants to see America (maybe find a place to settle down), every penny counts. Plus, they have no rights to sue should anything go wrong... back in the day, everyone had some kind of healthcare, so local hospitals could absorb it well, with a charity chaser of dough for good measure.

It's like the man said, "Problems of the future, today!" Our pets and farm animals have been eating each other for decades now, the US already lost the biggest economy award, and Tuberculosis Thursday is now preceded by Camel Pox Friday, and the stuff from Outbreak is jumping countries in Africa, and with no gung-ho Morgan Freeman (or a Pokemonkey) to single out as the bad guy...

And does anyone know what happened to western Canadian Flash artist http://celx-requin.newgrounds.com/ ? Maybe the rush of panic stricken Americans running North, held him up? Seems like inviting him to the past two Pico Days, might have had the reverse effect on his morale, and /or chattiness.
