Sorry for not being around lately. Thanksgiving made things very hectic. I suppose everyone probably got stuffed to as I did. Either ways, I do plan on being much more active now.

Note to self, successful voice actors don't respond to PM's in any normal range of time...best keep looking

Not a one line post because I'm bored at work.

Heard about the terrible events which happened on Black Friday, very sad and hard to believe could happen anytime. 6 edged Shakens is your level? lucky you Phantom, I love my Nuchunks, but on what i could have been level 40 and have The Bone-cleaver. What damage that could no compared to these Nuchunks or Nunchaku. Missed about 900 odd deposits. Enough about that though looking forward to December.

Have you tried asking around within the Voice Actor forum thread? I think it might help you a lot. Or you could just create a new thread in the audio forum, although most audio peeps don't take to that very well. At least the mods don't. :P

On the topic of Black Friday, I went with my mom. Yes, I know, it's lame lol, but I enjoyed myself. I ended it with the best bacon cheeseburger that I've ever eaten. Also, I bought an iPod Touch for myself (on sale at Wal-Mart). This thing is such a great investment. Honestly, it rules so much.

Damn! I knew about the Wal Mart guy, but the Toys R Us one is news to me. Holy shit... shooting inside a toy store? WITH kids there?

I feel sorry for those kids, but the Wal-Mart guy is worse. He was just doing his job, when a group of people just stampeded him. And no one stopped to help him, either. And even when the paramedics were there, and the manager was telling people the store was closed, people still were shopping.

All I have to say is that if the accounts are correct and the two people dead are the two people who shot guns, then they got what they deserved. Assholes.

I'm just glad no one else got hurt. The only thing that makes this significant is that it happened in a Toys R Us on Black Friday; otherwise it wouldn't have rated a sidebar.

Yeah, I know the pain of missed deposits. The comfort for me is that despite the huge number of missed deposits, I'm almost half way through the top 1,000.

I'll think about it, thing is I wanted to address voice actors who's work I've already heard, not any random volunteer.

Apple products, you simply have to love things that cost 3 times any of their hardware/software value. I have friends over at work in the iDigital center, pushing apple products at people, and it pains me that the shiny white design sells more units in a higher price than an equally good player from another company.

A nano with the same memory as my Sansa View 8gb costs more in the cheapest store, than my player in the most expensive one, it would have a smaller screen than mine, and less options&stuff.

Apple products, yay.
Sorry to be such a rant, but I won't let the corporations rule the gadget world, or like apple, they'll continue and try to slip crap for more money.

What can I say? It's fashionable amongst the youngsters these days. For myself I've heard of this cheap "iPod" which seems to be very close to a pirated product. So I am not sure if it is legal or not to buy one of those things.

Hay.

I was browsing through C&C and I saw this, looked interesting so i thought id come look. What exactly do you peeps do?

Differences of opinion. He thought of his sprite flash is humorous, and I was just right.

First, we don't double post. Second, you look at the info account, pick a department you think you qualify for, and apply, very obediently. If you don't seem to qualify to anything we ask for in a member you go out and improve that/those stats until you can.

In your case, I'm afraid you don't quite measure up yet, I would feel safer if I could see at least half a page (15) more posts out of you on various threads that are more than one line and are contributing to the conversation.

Sorry about the double post, i finished reading the account and all the news posts and forgot I had already posted.

And will do, until then, I'm offski.

I was watching those videos about Black Friday that you linked Thing, and those are BRUTAL. I had never actually seen the news stories about what went down. People are absolutely nuts. I was really getting mad while I watched those videos.

The only thing that I can say about the Sansa's is that I got one as a gift a couple years ago. It only lasted for a year before it stopped playing. So far, I've been having good playing from my 8GB Nano. Of course, I do admit that the Sansa's do have much better features at a much better price. I don't quite trust them because of my experience, but I wouldn't ever discourage anyone from buying them. After all, I'm sure they've certainly improved as I saw on the newest Sansa's.

Stolen I think despite his comments

Yes Black Friday was a tragic day ironic that it was because of the Xmas rush, which is like only a month or so away. Talking of which I wonder what them they will use this year?. Looking forward to Xmas.

Well this Sansa is my second, I had an e200 2gb and it worked perfectly. The SanDisk website offers its own help as well as the shops, software updates and various things, I found it a bit more helpful than the iPod which I also owned once but didn't like.

I was looking into options other than an iPod because I've owned 3 iPods and all 3 broke for no particular reason at all. I had a warranty on two of them and Apple wouldn't give me a new one because the damage that happened to the iPod was my fault apparently. Most of them just started getting that signal that they had crashed.

And that's how I have learned to live without an iPod for 3 years now.

Just charged up my Sansa, I couldn't be more happy with it, large vivid screen, ok Sansa headphones, though I did buy for myself top of the line AKG ones that block outside sounds about as well as any ear muff.

I had some song loading problems at first, SanDisk emailed me with their link to the newest software update and it's been working great ever since, even with like 500 songs, 4 House episodes jammed in and a bunch of pictures.

It's true their nearest physical lab is in Dubai, but I've been fine with the shop's help and the SanDisk website.

I still prefer it to my Nokia N95 which can play all that music as well because it's thin, sturdy (I'm not prone to dropping my gadgets, but if I were to, it would be fine) and the design is simple, controlled with an on switch, back and a wheel for everything else.

Actually, to be fair the problem with it is that the earphone plug is at the bottom, meaning that when in my pocket, I lose about 5 inches of cord because it sits upright, but other than that, comfy.

PEOPLE,
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.

Turkey Attack, by bfmv-rocks-08 Type: Game Rating: Ages 13+

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
