There was a a name that cartoon strip round (one was Nemi, who Keith has a major erection for LOL), second round was current affairs, third round was "Pubs on TV". Naturally, I got 10/10 for this round. (srsly no joke we did). Then it was food & drink, where we got a woeful 3/10. Last round was chosen by the team who lost last week. They chose Dr. Who. We got like 8/10 (LOL GEEKS).

All in all in was good times. The entry fee was £6 per team, regardless of how many members you had. ALSO (AND THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PART) each team got a free 14 inch pizza!

Tuesdays, 7:30, The Monument Pub, Canterbury. Be there or be a L7.

Halloween time approaches. What does everyone think this year's overdone costume idea is going to be? My guess is Thriller Michael Jackson.

Anyone know what they're doing? I'm considering L4D's Bill :O

I'll be going as a zombie pirate. I make an AWESOME pirate*, but I'll zombie it up in honour of Halloween. The club at my Uni is open 'til 6 on the 31st (it normally shuts at 3).

That's if I go out. In the morning it's The Scum vs Spurs, so depending on how we get on I'll either go out and get drunk like never before or stay home and cry.

*Me in a pub as pirate, better pics to follow.

haha Max. i wanted to but i might not have enough time to fix up the costume. Finding those footie pajamas is hard when youre a grown adult.

I hope they dont ruin that wild things movie... that kid they cast looks a bit too innocent and proper, the character in the book always came off as a prick when i read the books.

Where the Wild Things Are

I'm not kidding, that commercial freaks me the hell out and I change the channel whenever it's on. The music just disturbs me

Hahaha, oh heavens, Luis. You're an adult, but you're certainly not grown <3

I can't express how happy I am to have heard the news in this article:

COMBO BREAKER!!! It was an all-mod page before you came in here and stepped all over their foundations!!!

heh..joker :P

>__> no comment as i may have done that too :P

MOVING ON!

Overdone costume wont be anything in specific i think, there will be perhaps a LITTLE more star-trek than usual cuz of that movie, but so far nothing unusually THAT EPIC has come out movie wise to make everyone go insane with "omg facepaint!"

this is the bare minimum, besides my fancy slider drawer
nobody but the grader sees it anyway

apparently, according to the teacher, not only am i better than everyone in the class at flash animation, i'm also better than him.

he's still teaching me things about art though.

Who else thinks the Halloween banner is ace?

Loving the header.

Pub Meet ups

I was going to ask, have you seen the movie Holes? The kid in the movie steals a pair of shoes that looked a lot like the ones you showed me. Just a side thought.

I don't dress up for Halloween. Scaryies.

So there's a site called reddit, it's like digg but a forum and it's awesome. So they have this section "IAmA" and it stands for "I am a ..... ask me anything", it's had celebrities, windows 7 developers, millionaires, rent boys etc. So anyway 2DArray just posted one (He was the guy who worked with edmund on spewer) and I thought you guys might care. You ask questions, he answers. So it might be nice for any of you who want to know stuff, even though you all probably know stuff. Whatever.

The one the goons have over at SA is normally more amusing

Looks like it needs a few more questions.

give it a few hours, he only just posted it. They normally end up with around 250 questions, sometimes up to 1,500 if it's a popular one :D

Fair enough. The effort required to register for yet another web community is stopping me from asking whether Flash games have a potential as a primary, legitimate and sustainable source of income.

for you, my sweet

If i were to actually make a costume for Halloween, I could probably scare Chuck Norris.

Thus, i go as myself every year:

when i was a freshman in highschool a teacher asked me if i could teach flash animation to her class for like a month. At the time they gave me control of a g5 and i could control all 30 computers in the room and see what they were doing and i felt like some powerful evil overlord. now i feel like a fucking dumbass cause i basically did a job for some teacher whos class i wasnt in for free (plus i had to make up all of my classes that i missed in order to teach)...

Aww Sam, thanks.

To be fair, I know the answer to that one already. I can't picture anyone managing to sell a game a month for anything resembling sustainable income without having a contract established beforehand. The net of potential sponsors doesn't appear wide enough to allow for a large group of people with half the skills needed to make a casual game to claim £1000+ a month each. Future navel gazing aside, at some point sponsors need to make a return on thier investments, and a company like Armor really needs to be pulling in more than it's spending by now.

Even though web advertisement's a massive industry (now officially larger than TeeVee), I doubt most of it's rooted in flash games. AdSense sure, video ads and youtube sponsored links sure, but not Flash games.

I could be wrong. Maybe we need someone from the other side of the sponsorship fence to make an IAmA thread.

I definitely think it's possible. I guess it fits in a way with web development, I know I could easily make money through running websites but I would have to sacrifice all self respect and want to create what I want to create, I think the same is true of flash games. If you want to make money you can't just go with big fun games, you have to cater for what people want. I don't remember who it was, it might have been thesuperflashbros, but they said something about how their bigger projects, while awesome and great to make didn't make nearly as much as their smaller games. That might have been john though. Too many developers!

I think an interesting route for flash developers would be facebook apps, they're ridiculously lucrative right now and there are people making $1m+ off of it, just through running a couple of popular apps. The problem is ideas though and it's very hit and miss! This guy did an AMA and he makes lots from facebook apps!

I could be wrong. Maybe we need someone from the other side of the sponsorship fence to make an IAmA thread.

That would be awesome, I'm not much involved with Flash but I like watching, it'd be cool to learn. Maybe someone here who has involvement with armor games (oh hey John) could pester the higher ups :D

Why is everyone afraid of going and making money off flash IRL rather then over teh intrawebs
