I've written the basic script for the NGDD Flash, I will be tweaking it for the next few hours. It's not long or exhausting, because of the quantity of stuff to say, some will just be expressed in text on a different page but the main stuff will be done by our chosen voice actor, Ebonyte.

Ok, good. I need a friggin' script to do anything.

I also now won't be starting this until this weekend, but I may be able to storyboard before then w/ Short. Just depends since I am back to work today.

I used to have a Sansa, and it worked fine. It was really old, only having 512 MB of internal memory an SD slot for extra memory, and a black and white screen. It had a literal wheel in the top right for scrolling, and in the center had the necessary buttons, along with a select button in the center. Took 2 AAA batteries, which was a bitch, since I had to buy batteries for it rather than just a regular AA or charge.

Even when I accidentally sat on it and broke the screen, it still worked; I just couldn't see what I was doing. Luckily I had set it on shuffle before I broke it, so I could still use it until I could get another.

My current MP3 player is a Creative Microphoto. It has 4 gigs, about 10-12 hours of listening time on a full charge, has a built in microphone, FM radio, and stores pictures and whatnot. No video; it was made in 2005, bought in 2006, and was only $80. The only thing I don't like about it is the the terrible menus/menu selection, and it has a Zune like scrolling thing (no horizontal; just vertical) which is a terrible feature (at least on the Creative), and it's small and fat with a tiny screen that doesn't work in sunlight.

The player's software is starting to fuck up, sometimes playing a different song than what I left off with when I turned it off, or re-initializing my library for no reason. I've been thinking about upgrading soon, but I refuse to buy an Apple product, although Ipods have enticed me a little.

Cool Phantom look forward to seeing the flash. Well my b/p been pretty good got 3 saves long way to go before I get Staff Sergeant, If I spend more time in the portal I would have more points. I seem to suck lately at stolen flashes I think I need to be alert but not so much. But the trouble is the people who do really steal give everybody else who never submitted a bad name, which is unfair.

Man, iDigital is working right behind me, loads of people have broken iPods and the best tip is to drive four cities away to the central lab and have it checked out. Not worth the money. And even if it is checked out, they don't "fix" iPods, they replace them, for a "slightly" higher cost.

although seeing the screens in bright sunlight is difficult on anything I own.

Yeah I rather pay 50 dollars for a 4 gig MP3/MP4/Fm Radio player which you can add a 4 gig SD card to make it 8 gigs and I believe it has a touch screen than a IPod touch. "Oh look I'm playing a game on my IPod" I could care less, if I wanted to play a game I would play my DS.

You post like you just drank a whole brewery. Of that I may or may not envy, but for pete's sake, spell check your posts before you post them.

But like my last post stated, I work right next to the guys in the Apple customer service, with the iMac, iPods and other iStuff... Most break for no apparent reason and the best way to "fix" it is to get a new one.

Funniest iDigital call I heard today, dude bought a Mac and tried to install Windows on it, and the thing crashed altogether.

Also, what the fuck is their "support package"? if a mac breaks 91 days after you bought it, you are no longer entitled to shit, and go pay Apple more money which they really need so that the fat guy in the hideous orange shirt and and little cord headset on his head can flail his arms at you while he is explaining you why you need to pay more money for him to even be talking to you.

Case closed.

Stolen from here I think http://www.ultimatearcade.com/alien-pris on-break and also this one.

Also from ultimatearcade, I have seen the video on the making of the game proving its them that made those games here http://blog.ultimatearcade.com/2008/11/h appy-thanksgiving-the-turkeys-are-attack ing/

Sorry for not posting yesterday concerned about the second game, I did PM Tom Fulp maybe the second game not stolen, but I'm sure the first one is. Obviously I don't need to post this on EGB again. Funny on Newgrounds Log going through my old logs, I seemed to have more b/p then now like saves and blam. Odd seeing your level from last year, I also saw Pimp he was like so odd seeing him with level 55 Golden Sword.

I don't know about Ipods or Macs; from what I've heard, they work most of the time. Every once in a while I'll hear about how it broke or whatever, but all of my friends are satisfied with their Ipods.

I think it's like buying an Xbox 360; you'll have a 30% chance of getting a RROD, which means that 70% of them don't/haven't gotten the RROD. But it's a crap shoot; will you get one that will eventually fail, or will you get one that will work forever?

Plus, there are so many after-market accessories for the Ipod that buying another brand will make it not work with 90% of them.

I really need to shop around, and create a budget.

Well, both seemed to have passed, whether stolen or not, so I guess you need to look into it a little more

That's a great theme to bring up considering I just ordered a 360.

Back in more relevant news, my B/P pace seemed to have picked up and it shouldn't be too long until I regain my rightful place as number 20.

Doom 1 is still on the front page, good game, but I will never play it work again; my boss has the eerie habit of touching people's shoulder before saying anything, and while playing doom, it's not recommended. And it's just the first episode of the game. it's still fun a lot of fun though when you're at home, and no one is around to mysteriously touch you during play

Actually, it's much worse if that happens while you're playing Doom 3. It really scares the bejeezus out of people.
One of my friends did that. Set up a guy in a dark room by himself playing Doom 3. Then they watched him play, and knowing exactly when and where things popped up they chose a opportune moment and freaked the hell out of him.

Never played Doom before but it sounds fun. Odd that no Xmas theme is on here yet someone asked but the thread got locked, I don't know why though its late this year. Last year it was around the end of November early December, still its only December 4th ages to go till christmas comes. I recall the theme last year year at the time I had a rotten bug for a few days. Hope to see it soon

Knowing you, you sure are. But then again, I'm at work, it's a Saturday morning and I'm probably the only person on the whole floor, so a few images of breasts is the only way I can survive such a lonely shift. I beats coffee alright.

Anyhow, since the thread is active, as of now. I would like to ask my dear animators if they had not embarassed me yet and came up with a basic drawing board of the NGDD flash.

Funny how many deposits I have missed around 973 that nearly 1000. On the flashes one starting with the name of Santa got blammed, either by the author or by the admins. I did not report that one still need to report the other 3, but not 100% sure they stolen still worth checking. The lack of Xmas theme is a mystery maybe I may ask when I Pm a mod.

Maybe the theme will just be a secret and come out all fancy a day or two before Christmas for the sake of last moment awesomeness.

Probably not though.

Anyway, I'm just back from work and before I go to sleep for the next 12 or so hours, I would like to remind you all, that Nortel IP phones are best logged out of by smashing them. >:(

But seriously, you have to cut the shit out. Everyone gave you a chance, you blew it, and you are not welcome back here. It's simple, stop posting here. If you do you'll have a ban, which I'm sure will actually have an effect on the time you spend on Newgrounds because it's a little vacation from trolling.

DarkSolider The collab looks amazing alas my sound playing up again, so I cant listen to any sounds at the moment, your part is cool I like the Tankman. Looks like the hard work payed off. So 9 months hard work that would be since March right?. Hope it wins some awards. When my sound returns I will give you a better verdict.

On the parts the collab looked very good not done any reviews for a month got a game here which may be stolen, but passed

But in the credits it not by him http://www.gamepro.com/free-games/5108/r eindeer-rain/.

It was pretty good, but what I think dragged it back some was that since everyone had to pull out 3-second animations, some (like simple ball movement portions) just didn't seem to avant-graded.

Good to see that it pulled about the 3.00 mark though.

I'll probably eventually be paid to do it, considering the college I'll be off to next late August (High Point University in North Carolina), hoping to pursue a computer sciences or game design major.

Damn... The world must be ending or something. What antidepressant combination did you get on to make this sudden change of heart? I remember just recently when you ripped that one racist dude a new one... Still, I guess this new change might prevent any more drama over your high rank both here and in the EGB, so I guess it can't be a really bad thing.

He lives in Israel; money makes them happy. Lol, jk. Bu seriously, if you have a whole bunch of money, you feel a little better than when you were broke. That's why everyone was sad during the Great Depression, happy during the Roaring 20's, and just generally sad around Thanksgiving/Christmas.

I'm on Cipralex, it's a different type of SSRI but it's not treating a psychological complex like everyone thought over the years, but a physical lack of Serotonin type neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. Happy?

Besides, I'm mostly exhausted due to my uncomfortable work hours, so I lack the energy to really flame right now, but I'd still recommend "let sleeping demons lie".

Considering the NGPD didn't except you because of your post quality I'm going to say you need to come back and try to apply here when you have 300 Posts. I checked all your stats on Newgrounds and most of them were not so great. Your audio reviews were like 2 words each and your flash reviews weren't so bad but you'll need to improve on your grammar first. Now, I know you applied for the BBS Department but I'm going to reject your application. Your posts never seem to have capital letters or commas. You could work on your punctuation. I would say to come back and get re-evaluated here once you have 300 posts if you think you've improved.

Thank You, John~

I really enjoyed the collab Darksoldier it was very entertaining, the music although sometime samey was fun, and the use of SBC a huge bonus shame it has only got 683 views at the moment. But this is not a place to review the flash so I wont go on anymore. Still good effort all round to the users who made there parts. Still pleased about the massive amount of b/p I got a huge bonus to my next badge.
