I just not only admire the animation of venture brothers, but I like that it has depth underneath the jokes.

Like there IS story arcs and character development as it goes on. Similar to Futurama, and somewhat The Simpsons.

I agree ATHF is hysterical but it's a much different style of humor, more in your face about it. Home Movies is pretty rad, and Super Jail too. I actually enjoy almost all the comedy shows, the only one I don't like is Frisky Dingo. I'm ashamed to admit I've begun to enjoy Tim and Eric a bit, haha, but mainly because John C Reily cameos are funny as hell.

I don't get why this problem needs quantum mechanical explanations. Photons are neither a wave or a particle, but they show aspects of both. They're just small packets of energy. In what way exactly does my theory brak down when you treat each individual photon?

Shine a light on a 10 nanomter thick window, and then on a 1 kilometer thick window. I'm pretty sure the former will reflect less light

I can't see any reason why it would. Perhaps the reflected light on the 1km thick window would be more apparent because the refracted light would get so refracted it would be difficult to see right the way through.

I've never heard of this sort of thing before, nor noticed it in life, but you've got me interested. Where did you hear that thicker glass reflects more light?

Anyone know any good sites for selling T-shirts? It seems like a far more sensible way of making money out of Flash so long as you have the forwards planning to advertise them in-game.

That is a really good idea D= Cafepress is available of course, but it sucks. Look for ones that do t-shirts for comics and things and talk to them.

Works fine if you've got a brand to sell. But don't sell through someone else - you may as well buy the things in bulk yourself from Brunetto or a local screen printers and sell them over your own e-store (which means dealing with Paypal/Google's overheads, rather than a t-shirt stores ones).

If you've got a brand that regularily updates (so we're talking Another Day / James the Zebra terratory only here), TopatoCo could be an option.

Was yesterday like the lowest rated day ever, or what?

I finished my game at 9:15 yesterday! Fucking 15 minutes off. Well, atleast now I can try and get a sponsorship.

It was good none the less

we can all agree that metalocaslypse is the best AS show though, right?

That's not saying much.

I love that show so much. Even the songs sound like they could be real stand alone songs.

It's strange I think ATHF and metalocaslps are funny but I don't like them. I don't know why I just don't.

DO YOU LEIK CLOCKS!?

I made this in a couple hours for a bigger project for Clock Day. Figure out how to "win" on your own.

Just so you guys don't think I suck at Flash (too late for that, lol) I only quickly threw this together to test some things out for the REAL game, but just thought I'd post it here anyway for the lulz.

Thanks for reminding me. I need to watch most of the second series still...

Don't worry spamburger, we already know that.

I promised I'd show more samples of my game in the future. Well, after months of occasional half-assed work, here's what I got so far. I'm really unhappy with it, it runs slow on my pentium 4 PC and I'm really tired of trying to fix all the bugs. There's probably still a lot of bugs.

I didn't see any gamecripling bugs, and even with those graphics it was still very playable (both framerate and gameplay wise). I'd keep going with it, be careful with level design though, i noticed quite a few of the puzzles from braid and i've only played the demo.

Better than spamburgers anyway.

I pretty much took the 1st level from Braid, but the others are purely my ideas and my design. That's another reason why I'm tired of it - I'm terrible at level design. As you can see I only have 3 levels :/ I made a bunch more but I ended up deleting a lot of stuff because I didn't like it. However I'd hate to give up on it because I thought this was truly going to be "the one" project that I would finally finish. I already put so much work into it

I like Moral Orel better.

Yeah don't give up on it, you're onto something here. You could expand it into something price of persia style, with some simple combat mechanics. I think the next thing you should do is get an artists though, so you can progress and develop any level designs/ideas you have properly.

although the frame rate chugs along at times, I found this game very playable. I can't wait to see the rest of the game. Are you going to add robots?

It does rather rely on my knowing in advance roughly how many people are going to buy, though. Any ideas?

Depending on how much of a crafts person you are, maybe you could consider putting together stuff like the Alien hominid plushes that were on sale? I mention that, because Nathan researched it, found a way to streamline his process, got his materials and threw together 100 of them. Used the ng store to handle the storefront end and it panned out to be the fastest selling item ever on the store. I have artsy friends who've also done really well on that front using etsy.com

I think t-shirts are a tough item to start off with. Because usually unless you screen print them yourself youre going to need to invest in a run of 70 shirts or so. I had to do that for the first sketchbook tour and i still ended up with like 10 or so leftover. Whereas if i went with an item that didnt rely on different body sizes i may have been able to get rid of em all.

I'd sell mouse pads. No sizes or anything and people just love to customize their computer space. Or backpacks.

One of my friends put the idea in my head of a plush toy for either The King or the Space Slug, if I ever finish this next episode, haha
