bet you all played the original game

Well the portal is running at an average pace i guess because most everybody is at school or else where at the moment. But i am trying my best to get my average up so i can maybe be a top gainer. But i have been one before but that was a really long time ago, So i guess that is the goal i am setting for my self it to get on the top gainers list.

Yeah, I've played quite some time ago. I don't know if it is in my favourites or not, but it's a great game. Bad thing that I couldn't flag the idiot who stole it.

It happens to everyone that goes to university. They go there and then their lives become 100% related to the university. Or 90%. Or 83%. Or... whatever, they get more busy and usually go to Newgrounds less and less.

BTW, what course are you doing at university?

BTW part 2: Has anyone noticed that Sterockicy didn't put the link to the last roster? So, here it is, even though I don't see a point of adding it now:

Link to previous update.

Do I meet the minamum requirements to join this club?

Your profile says that you're a Police Sergeant, and unfortunately, the minimum B/P rank for new members is Private. You should join the NG Police Headquarters until you reach the required rank, though!

Yay! Also, congrats to those who don't have lives and get 516546 B/P every fucking week.

Rank // Total B/P points // Gain // Gain/day // Gain rise/drop // Name
32 // 04293 // 088 // 12.6 // 03.0+ // HeavenDuff
33 // 04176 // 026 // 03.7 // 01.2- // TheThing
34 // 03403 // 014 // 02.0 // 05.6- // I-Love-Caitlyn

Wow, my average is great! At least I've got a 700 point lead over my nearest competator, and a better average. But I'm not going to catch HeavenDuff.

You did great! But not as good as I did, but that's alright, since not many can match a 3.7 b/p average

Is it just me, or has the portal been reasonably slow today? I've gotten less than 30 B/P today so far. It better pick up later on.

Ok, so Tom just created another post asking us what are our goals for 2008.

But I ask your guys... What are your goals for 2008?

I don't have lots of goals, but here they are:

- Try working with Flash;
- Start playing the guitar better;
- Dedicate a little more to school (but I still think I don't need it);
- Get fit

There might (should) be more, but I can't think of anything else right now.

Your turn: What are your goals for 2008

Yeah, it has been pretty crap- really killing my pace so far this week, I was going at a steady 70 per day.

Also belated welcome, good to see another English gentleman around these parts

1) Graduate, ideally with at least a 2:1
2) Find a job/something to do with my life once education has come to a shuddering halt- any ideas of what I should spend my life doing more than welcome (bearing in mind I am doing a biology degree), as I have precisely zero!
3) Go to Indonesia for 2 months (booked up already), don't die/get sick/kill anyone else. Save the world (or something...)
4) Keep girlfriend happy
5) Begin plans for world domination...

Thanks for the update Sterockicy! It seems that I-Love-Caitlyn is now in my sight lol.

Anyways, my goals for 2008 consist of:

- Graduating high school
- Going to College
- Finding a better job than the one I already have.

- get some games for my PS3
- Learn Drum seriously
- Start a new band as a Vocalist or Drummer
- Make some music for the Audio Portal
- Get some Experience Levels and B/P Levels on Newgrounds
- Get my driver's license
- Participate in some Chess Tournament or something
- Win a game of Risk (I mean, actually winning a game by eliminating enemies troops and not just cause all your friends have left after a 6 hours game cause they are tired)

I'd hardly call that pace machine like. AfroUnderscoreStud quantifies that space :P

At 1/16/08 01:22 PM, Sir-Nuts wrote: Your turn: What are your goals for 2008

I've got a few, including finishing chapter 4 of my story and maybe also a few other goals, such as preventing my best friend's death or at least enough embarrasment to make him wish he was dead from his stag night. He's getting married in November and I'd like to think that he would only be as nasty to me as I am to him :P

No more Winter time theme on Newgrounds, they have just changed it. :(

At 1/16/08 01:22 PM, Sir-Nuts wrote: Your turn: What are your goals for 2008

I have a few:

- Raise money to go travelling
- Go travelling
- Try and get back into Audio production towards the end of the year

I'm aiming for a 60/day pace, but it's being dragged down slowly by the Portal's sleepy ways.

Thanks man, I hope to be here for a long time to come :)

I've been playing drums for 8, nearly 9 years now, so if you need any tips or want to chat about it generally, feel free to send me a PM or something.

Yeah, I miss the blue personally. I felt it was more soothing and generally nicer than the normal theme. I wish there was an option for each user to customise the top part of the page, so I could keep it blue, but that's obviously not going to happen.

You should try to give the idea to some of the admins or users that could help make it change. That could be nice :)

Great Idea !!!

Thank God! It was nice to see something besides orange, but all that blue was really depressing. Plus the part of school I'm in most of the day is blue.

But as for my goals, I really don't have too many;
Get stronger
Get some PS3 games
Get a girlfriend
Finish the school year strong by getting all A's

At 1/16/08 04:47 PM, HeavenDuff wrote: Nice !!! What kind of music do you play ?

I started off playing general rock stuff, nothing too complicated, but there's only so many variations of a 4/4 beat that you play before you need to progress - so I started infusing some jazz and shuffle type beats into my normal stuff.

After a while, I wanted to take that further, too, so I saved up and bought myself a 2nd kick drum, and 2 Iron Cobra pedals (they're amazing), and started playing some metal/speed metal stuff using 16ths and 32nd beats on the kicks.

Now I just experiment with stuff. I like mixing some cool break-beat type stuff with double kick, variations on the hi-hat or ride, whatever sounds good. So basically I have a reasonably good experience with a few different styles of playing.

I think the idea has been mentioned before, but whilst in reality it would be a nice addition to the flexibility of the site, the reality of it is that it would be a huge amount of work for the staff. I don't know the ins and outs of it due to that fact that I'm not a website programmer, but word was that putting the idea into practice would be very difficult indeed. Shame, really.

Yah, I heard that jazz is really important in the basis of drums.

I just love Double-bass drums !!! I hope to be able to learn to play drum soon.

Do you play with other musicians, like jams and all that stuff or with a band?

If they kept the actual orange as the basic theme that everybody would have and that it could be changed in the profile section.

My Newgrounds would be BLUE ALL THE TIME !!!
(just don't make a FAB theme) :P

Ugh, so glad that blue went away. It's nice for a little while, but it was up for way too long.

I don't have much for goals this year, really. I guess just don't die. That's a good goal I wish to achieve.

At 1/16/08 05:49 PM, HeavenDuff wrote: Yah, I heard that jazz is really important in the basis of drums.

In some ways, yeah. Jazz is rooted deeply in the drumming rudiments, so learning jazz alongside the rudimental stuff would be a good way to start.

I just love Double-bass drums !!! I hope to be able to learn to play drum soon.

Double kicks are cool, yeah, but expensive, and very difficult to master. I'd advise buying a double pedal before investing in an extra bass drum, in order to get the hang of it. That's what I did.

Do you play with other musicians, like jams and all that stuff or with a band?

I've played solo, jammed, been in several bands, played gigs, and now I'm back to playing solo. Playing with other musicians is the best though.

If they kept the actual orange as the basic theme that everybody would have and that it could be changed in the profile section.

Would be cool. I can't remember the reason that it apparently would be difficult to do, but I believe it has something to do with the fundamental way the site operates. I dunno, maybe I'll ask someone who knows about that stuff.

My Newgrounds would be BLUE ALL THE TIME !!!
(just don't make a FAB theme) :P

I'd keep the winter layout if I had the choice.

Same story today. I've been on the portal for a few hours and gotten 12 B/P. It's probably because school has started again so most NGers are at school rather than submitting flash to Newgrounds.

It's funny for my day is usually the same, get up bout 11, around 15 things on the portal, they go away in like 15 minutes. Then very little till around 7 at night, then it keeps a steady 20, if I stay up till like 2 i can make around 100 but way too much effort :P

Also hello NEVR!!!!!!
