Being able to take your drinks outside and just leave em at a different casino when you finish is unreallll.. im not a fake tits guy so i didnt really care for the titty bars. Other than that it was great tho. Driving into vegas is really cool also. Its literally in the middle of a desert and youll know it when you see it type of thing.

I'm afraid your drinking age limit is going to be a bit of a pain for me... Regardless, without being drunk it should still be quite an awesome sight.

You should definitely go to Vegas.

The 24th of July, and Vegas is on the list. I can't wait to lose all of our money and our car in a gamble

That's because that's exactly what he did. Why not trace trace the bitmapped ear as well? That would fit perfectly with the rest of the shot.

You might want to show us what it looks like right now so we can give you some advice on how to make it look better.

Visiting (or at least driving past) the NG office did cross my mind, but to be honest I'd just feel like a moron stopping by there as I don't know Tom & the rest and they don't know me. I'm afraid it would only lead to awkwardness :)

and you miss New Orleans out completely.

New Orleans is on the 'maybe list', if we're ahead of schedule we might drive through/stop in New Orleans, but there's a lot of road to cover in a short amount of time.

If Luis Day is on the same day as your birthday, happy birthday. If not, well... I don't know... Happy Luis Day I suppose (it's like father's day, you have 2 birthdays in a year). One day I shall finish the Captain Luis animation I synchronized with the Peter Gunn Theme, I think around Luis Day 2012.

You there, American reg
Below is the general route for my outrageously expensive USA vacation/roadtrip form New York to San Fransico. Any places you think me and my mates should visit along the way (as long as it kinda epic and somewhat en route)?

She needs boobs.

And when she runs it looks like she's dropped her contact lenses and she's looking for them. It's not too bad, but it could be a bit better. It looks like her legs shake/shiver a bit when they're in the right-most position.

Otherwise, forget us; imagine all of the collabs which would have been absolutely screwed by the deletions!

I hope Kayn comes back. He's a cool guy.

Several collab threads were actually deleted, I don't think the Reg Lounge is any different. Suprised it wasn't wasn't deleted during the 'glitch' *wink wink*. Out of respect for Flash artists?

I'm just glad they didn't delete the Reg Lounge, imagine your post counts :)

Again, not an option. Mainly because it'll end up hacked open with CheatEngine like this anyway...

hey Luis! Neg! People are in your game, hacking your goldz!

I never understood why you would want to 'hack' a Flash game. It doesn't seem worth the effort if you ask me. Then again when there are dozens of millions people playing your game I suppose there are always a few hundred who find it is worth the effort :)

Also, if I needed to pay to save in a game I would quit the game, straight away. It would have to be a really, really stellar game for me to consider paying for it. There are hundreds of other free Flash games on the web where I can switch to just as easily to get my 30 minutes of fun and distraction.

That was quite an interesting read! I'm glad I'm a student and not someone who has to make a living out of advertising fees, if that's even possible. I see Flash as a hobby that happens to make me a nice amount of cash. Although I've quit my job recently to be able to spend more time on Flash so I guess it's my job as well now... Still as a student I don't have to make 10 games a year to live a comfy life.

W.I.P. Feedback Group
When I'm working on projects I think it's very valuable to show my progress to friends or family because I find it very easy to lose track of things when I'm developing entire projects on my own. Sometimes you spend way too much time on things no one will ever notice, while other times you completely miss things that should be included. It's hard to take a step back every now and then and take a look at your project from your average user's perspective. Friends and family are very useful for this, but most of the time they're not really part of my target audience, they aren't brutally honest and they know nothing about Flash.

I'm sure some of you suffer from the same thing every now and then, hence I thought it would be a nice idea to exchange some contact information so we can send out some W.I.P. projects every now and then, and hopefully get some feedback from each other. I don't want to make a post in the Lounge every time I've worked on my games (besides, we all know that the Lounge isn't the best place to get feedback). Neither do I want to share these things with everyone via my userpage. I don't trust everyone there with ideas and such that are still in early stages of development, but I think I do trust you Regs.

If anyone out there thinks this is a good idea: Maybe we can arrange this via MSN/AIM or maybe a mailing list or something like that?

Oh yeah: Maybe all of this sounds silly as I don't have a lot of MSN addresses and the like from you guys and you already do all of the above. In that case, I want in, add my msn: xeptic(at)gmail.com

I must say for a non-native English speaker of 11-years old your English is quite amazing. But like the rest said: Don't spend your entire summer on Newgrounds, go outside and build some tree-houses or whatever kids your age do nowadays.

Walking Cycles

Am I the only one who walks around the house timing oneself with a stopwatch when trying to draw walking cycles? I've been walking around like a knight all afternoon. Good fun.

I think I came across next year's biggest Oscar Winner. Geisha Chainsaw!

I should've noticed that zombies/bullets thing. Can you paste the entire function from start till end? And include it code tags? It's getting hard to read.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but that should work.

bullets.splice(u, 1);

should do the job.

Psh, an 11-year old with model-user behavior, what's the world coming to... Anyway, if you need help drop me a pm.

Key down == 1 doesn't work on Macs for mouse clicks. Might want to fix that.

Finishing something is always very rewarding :) To those who can't: You need to find yourselves some proper motivation and not chicken out every time you don't feel like animating. Works for me.

You're right, stick with the brush.

Also, who just bought the sexiest Ray-Ban ever? That's right. I did.

B & D. How do they look when you use the pencil tool instead of the brush tool?

Poor attempt at an alt. For shame.

On that note: They were going to cremate Michael Jackson, but that didn't work out he because he's 99% plastic. So now they're melting him into little Lego pieces so little kids can play with him.
