Well, looking at everybody else who has posted since the game got medals, i'm going to assume medals are broken? Nobody has any, and I just beat the game and didn't get any medals.

Also, looks like another game with a memory leak. Glad I've got four gigs of ram. I was using nearly half of one by the time I finished the game. Chrome was nearly at 500MB on my task manager. Shoty programmers...

I hate to say this, but I hope they release more difficult games with medals? Maybe more difficult is wrong, maybe just games without point and click walkthroughs like the last coupe. I'm getting bored of these puzzle games that are easy solves with a walkthrough. inb4playwithoutawalkthrough. I beat the first 10 or 11 levels without a problem. A big stumbling block was finding out that the grass can push you into pushing the rock, making it go further. I had to use the walkthrough to figure that out.

I will never get to level 6 because I don't want a black hand as my avatar. Is that racist?

Not broken, just no existent. Read my last post.

You had the memory issue when it lagged up in the level editor I take it too? Other than playing in the Level Editor there wasn't any memory leak issues I found.

Agreed.

Started writing my post before you posted yours so I missed it. Got sidetracked and came back to it lol.

And yeah I dunno if the leak was in the level editor, I think it was the whole game, like gun game. Although the editor locked up on me? Not sure if thats related to mem leak. I put one robot, one plane piece, and one flying thing (dunno what that was? looked like the mouse icon, but apparently not because it didn't move). Soon as i went to test it, I couldn't move? checked my task manager and I think it built up over time, because checking a process 10 seconds after it crashed couldn't build up to 500MB of ram that fast.

I will never get to level 6 because I don't want a black hand as my avatar. Is that racist?

Forgot to add this little tidbit:

I should just play the game over and over and hope one of the medals glitch so that i'll have medals nobody else will? haha then i'll be on top foreverrr muhahaha.

ps. shift 4 medals tested today. Not working. I hate staff. :)

Also I went to check up on our good friends skiller and deity0. Seems they don't update logs anymore, but still getting medals. An attempt to slip under the radar? :o

Won't work. Haha he literally removed the whole API so it's actually impossible to even glitch one like Demon Master on FUi2 or whatever.

Check the last page, the Application Programming Interface with regards to the medal implementation is removed from the game.

Just another reason forums need a delete button. That's a pretty bad blunder right there. You would think that with a game that "was supposed to" get medals 3 hours ago to check this topic to see if medals had already been reported broken / removed lol

This is what I get for being gone for three hours thanks to school. I'll have to favorite the game to at least give it a chance. Is there a way to bug the author into putting medals back up, without the word, "bugging", or seem like it's harassment? Also, should I go for 1mil in Hover Bot Arena 2 or die once, then play again in Portal Defenders: Halloween Edition to get the shiny Hollow Wiener? What's a Hollow Wiener? What's a wiener that's full? Should someone have the sig: I have a Hollow Penis?

It's blunders like that that can be avoided if you just check this thread or take a look at the petition. I usually stay up to date with broken medals, saving you lots of time from attempting medals you can't get.. or in this case actually don't exist.

OH EM GEE BOMTOONS SIGNED THE PETITION

It's been ages since The-EXP told us that he submitted the fixes, and nothing. I've been doubting that the staff have actually received a fixed update for a while now.
Either The-EXP didn't send an update in, or the update did not fix the problem. It's not like whichever staff members are in charge of updating submissions are going "Hey, look, these medal games need updating. Updated! Hey, look, these non-medal games and animations need updating. Updated! Hey, look, Shift 4 needs updating. Screw that!"

Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders.

By the way, I made the 'Create an Animated Sprite' preloader for Sprite TV 3!

I vote for someone who doesn't have a sig yet, to make that sig (I HAVE A HOLLOW PENIS). Or I'll make it for you, I'm sure I still have the original PSD template for it.

On topic though, I say you do Portal Defenders, then Hover. That's just my opinion though, PD is still fun and quite enjoyable to play through. So freaking fun to run circles around Wadolf at the end with April. (And the endgame image of her punching Luis, is nothing short of wonderful.)

I PMed the author asking him to fix the game. He said that if he somehow fixes the medal bug, his game must be on front page first for him to upload it.

Wow, talk about demanding.

If somebody makes that hollow penis sig, i'll wear it if it looks as cool as caraboos. I don't get why its funny, but i'm lacking a sig so why not?

And I honestly believe its just lazy staff that havn't updated the file. I've said before, my web design skills are limited, but I can't see the process of receiving the fix and updating taking that long... Maybe i'll PM the author of SHIFT4 and see what the problem was. Perhaps he did send it and it didn't work...or maybe he didn't send it at all? If nobody posts here saying they've already pmed him, i'll do it tmrw. Got a website I have to write thats due tomorrow... :(

Gotta love Multimedia yo. I'm trying to switch from IT to New Media Interactive Development over here at RIT. Hate the school, love the classes, and the degree I'll get here.. shit yo I can party for the rest of my fucking life with the bank I'll be making right out the gate so it's worth the 4-5 years of social torture here.

I'd PM the The-EXP but I already have the medals and I'm sure someone else has already done it.. and if not then you will.. Haha I just don't feel like getting the response "Fuck you, you have the medals quit bitching".

Well, then maybe you should make more medal games yourself *wink* *wink*.
Also, wow, Portal Defenders got fixed in two days, that's something we are not used to :D
And l'm gonna play that other game anyway, apparently it has nice music, and the medals are going to pop up, even if they're not gonna register, so why not?

Is that because he wants the attention, or is it because of some kind of glitch in the updating system?

Also, getting caught up in the old games; got all the available medals in Medieval Rampage 2 today. Finish all levels under 50% is still broken, right?

Speaking of old games.. I love how PsyFlash can get his medal indicators removed from the Revert To Growth's page in less than an hour.. but Weasel has yet to get his medal indicators back up for Hover Bot Arena 2 and it's been how long..?

I seriously don't understand how there can be so many small problems that never get fixed but some of the bigger problems get fixed pretty damn fast.

In completely unrelated (but just as hilarious) news, I just finished Madness Acceleration in Madness mode on my second try. After letting the Chainsaw lapse. After getting it with something like 8 health. And I defeated the final boss form by fucking punching it! I got him down to about 35 when I ran out of flamethrower ammo, and no more enemies were spawning, so I took my time running in, hitting him twice, backing up so he could breathe fire at me, running in under the arc, hitting him twice more, rinse and repeat.

Most. Satisfying. Medal. Ever.

In other news, some of these medals look squirrelly. Not that he's a big player or anything, just something I noticed while perusing the bottom of the NGLog medal standings.

Not that I'm a professional hacking detective, but I don't see anything wrong with his medals. He got God Tier first, but that make sense to go backwards because then every run is easier. The wierdest thing about it to me is that his name is OCDPlus, and he doesnt have the OCD+ medals.
