Holy shit, look at this... I gave a visit to NG after a couple of months and I find this nifty surprise :D

I'll see if I haven't gotten rusty. Care if I join the party once more?

I was searching for Michael Camilo (dominican jazz pianist). He asked me if the character was Latin American, I said yes, then a bit later he asks if it's Israeli? WTF?

It's still good though. Guessed all of them before it, since it wasn't in it's database, lol.

Well, today in school, a dragonfly went inside my classroom. As expected, most of the girls freaked out, so another kid caught it and chopped the head off the poor thing. Our teacher had went out to attend something while all this happened, so the guys thought it was a good idea to mess with the corpse and freak out the girls a little more.

To make the story short, some kiddo ate it for 45 pesos, which is the equivalent to approx. $1.50 dollars. Not because he wanted the money, but simply because they offered it to him if he dared. I think he would have done it for free anyways.

Sadly, I forgot to ask him what it tasted like. But he didn't seem to be disgusted. Maybe it tastes like chicken?

So, what is the minimum you would accept to eat a bug? Would you do it in the first place?

I don't see how advertising your site or whatever in your forum signature affects or relates to ad revenue, so the answer would be no: it's not against any rules.

Salt? Do I look like I want to induce diabetes and dehydration?

This man knows what he's saying.

If I had to choose between ketchup or salt to use on my french fries, for example, I'd pick ketchup and the fries would still taste great. I believe ketchup has salt in it's ingredients anyway.

If you're that hardcore about salt, I dare you to get a handful of it (preferably whole salt) and suck it like a man. Of course, I'll be laughing at your face expression and dialing 911.

Ha. See, this is the problem. If I made a thread about something funny/interesting, it would probably get 2-3 pages, but I just can't bring myself to post some bullshit that I know is not truth. It's hard to find something interesting that's real, unless it's about a controversial/popular topic or based on something I found on the internet. If I post a thread one of the following happens:

A) Shocking/funny news or something equally interesting that I heard/read/found on the web. Basically, spreading the word of something else.

B) I come up with an elaborated and arguably interesting subject with two or three paragraphs, only to see it sink due to the lack of appeal to the average newgrounder.

C) I'm angry/bored and post some rant.

I've never said it and never will because it wouldn't make any sense to anybody. Everyone would just stare at me with a ''WTF is this guy talking about?'' expression on their faces, and explaining it would probably only make the situation worse.

Not like I use it in any other context though. I recall only saying it once, I believe, and that was here.

No, I think it's a bit below Cuba. Amirite?

If you want to voice act, you should try posting in the ''Voice Actor Advertisement thread''. There you'll have better chances of finding an artist in need.

Good luck!

The first thing that came to mind were pancakes. Probably because I'm hungry.

Of course. According to the little information we have about the unreleased Art Portal right now (found in the FAQ) it doesn't matter what you use to make the art, as long as it's acceptable.

and also the only painting tool that i have is paint and when ever i use it it looks like pixels...so is there a free and better graphics painting tool.

Try GIMP. Probably one of the best free alternatives if you can't afford Photoshop, might as well be good for drawing. Try it out.

and finally is there a limit to how many levels you can get in experiance?

The current max level is 60. You can find all the levels and their experience requirements in this page.

Hint, look at Toms' post then look at that picture very hard.

If you're talking about ''MagicPretendTom'', whoever made that alt made a post with it in the previous page. You probably missed that.

That or I'm missing something else.

Basically there are two ways:

- Flash API.
- Revenue Share.

The first consists of implementing ads in your flashes that appear in the loading screen. The other is earning money for the ads that are already displayed in your flash and audio submission pages. You can find more information about them in the links I gave you. Just don't expect to make a fortune :P

This is a flash site. Did it ever occur to you that you can entertain yourself by watching movies and playing games? I doubt you've seen them all.

Sorry for not being a juggler.

How to upload the pre-uploader? I think you're a bit confused. You see, it is called preloader, and you don't upload it separately. You include it in your flash, as in, your movie or game must have it in the first frame. The preloaders here have instructions when you open them in flash that tells you how to use them. Basically, you copy the first frame of the preloader and paste it on the first frame of your flash.

If you have any other questions about this or Flash, I suggest you post them in the Flash Forum :)

It's those tags you use to modify your text, like bold, italic, etc. They are included in the character limit.

Hey, I never said it was better. The reason I had to do that was because that way I could practice at anytime without bothering anyone, specially since I tend to be very loud. And besides, I play in a grand piano twice a week where I study, so it's not like I'm depriving myself of the real deal.

Another advantage is that I can take it anywhere with me (with a car, that is. Bitch is huge). Again, it's only for practice purposes.

Wait. You're complaining about the retardation in the forums yet you're demanding cock jokes? What?

In any case, this was just a lame excuse for a rant/topic/+1. You know this won't change anything at all. I suggest you surrender in peace, meditate, and learn to deal with the interwebz affairs.

They let you in a college? God forbid, they must have been desperate for money.

Hey guys, perhaps holding so many fingers against him isn't a good idea. He could do something crazy and desperate, and we don't want him doing something like that, do we?

... do we?

How ironic. Perhaps you should take your own advice.

Like this hasn't been done before. Will you change anything? No. Maybe it is you who needs to change of attitude.

Haha. I've been playing piano for about 8 years and I used to practice with a vertical piano, but now I've chosen to stick some headphones in my 88-key electric piano, which feels very similar.

Kids are brought up around technology these days. Whilst 50 years ago kids would have been outside climbing trees and playing games in the streets or whatever, now they're playing games online and instant messaging their friends etc. My best friend's younger sister had a phone by the age of 7 for christ's sake... it's just unavoidable.

I know what you're talking about. In fact, my childhood was like you described, but when I was about 11 or 12 my dad bought me a computer. Everything went downhill from there on, lol. I don't IM/play games all that much though, just your usual newgrounding and lurking.

Damn. What would a 7 years old kid need a cellphone for? Even I had to wait to until I was 15 to justify a reason for it.

You think that's hardcore? I'll have to reformat my PC tomorrow because some jackass friend gave me a flash drive that was chocking on viruses when I asked him for a file. AVG wasn't prepared for that shit and lost the battle, which resulted in me having to download heavier weapons while the enemy fucked up my PC in the mean time.

What did me learn today?

- Get better protection next time.
- Don't trust foreign devices.

Soo many blood soaked tampons. I nearly puke every time.

Well, I rarely use my cellphone for anything else than checking what time it is. One or two calls every now and then, when necessary. Perhaps a message. It could be gone for all I care and I probably wouldn't feel the difference if I bought myself a watch.

But a computer with internet... I can't picture myself without it. Well, I can, and I would be greatly successful in many aspects, but I'm already hooked to it. I depend on it for a lot of things, and I'm usually on some sort of hobby (animating, music, game, etc). It would be hard to adapt, but by the time I do, I'd do great things. Sucks a lot of my time.

Giving piano lessons to spoiled kids sucks because you feel like the time you've spent with them has gone to waste. Fortunately, it will only last another year since pedagogy is a required subject to complete my music studies. I'm getting paid, of course.

Oh, one reminder though. Using copyrighted sounds/tracks/music and remixing them together does not make for original material. That kind of stuff is not allowed in the Audio Portal, in case those are your intentions.

Try Audacity. It's free and frequently recommended when looking for a free solution to audio editing, although I think it lets you mix tracks together too. Just check it out and see if it works for your needs.

But saying there's an equal amount of inane posts among all the forums, or even close, is being quite inaccurate. And even if there was, it doesn't result in all the forums having the same number of intelligent posts. There aren't as many intellectual discussions here as there are in the Politics Forum.

Anyway, I don't think I have experienced all of the forums enough to judge which one is superior, but Politics, due to the nature of it, comes off on the top. Then IMO I'd say that Wi/Ht has minimal idiocy, landing a second place. General may be at the bottom because it is the home of anything, so most of the trolls and whatnot come here to rejoice.
