If you meant me, did I ever say I wasn't addicted to NG?

Hell, right above your post, there's me replying to someone who claimed that NG was addictive because of the redesign with this:

"NG was just as addictive before the redesign, sorry."

If I said that, clearly it means I think NG was addictive both before AND after the redesign, meaning the redesign didn't suddenly make NG addictive. It was always addictive. There's your answer. O_o

As to WHY, however, yes... that's another matter.

WTF does that have to do with what he said to you? Look at his frickin' sign-up date, dude. Do the fucking math yourself.

Also, as he told you, he asked you a question:

"So according to you there will never be any new games ever entering the portal?"

Can't answer it, eh?

Uh... everything your said is incorrect. 1st of all I wasnt talking to you. 2nd of all I was judging he had been on NG for 3 or 4 years from his very high level. 3rd of all I was just stating the obvious that you are addicted to NG because of your BBS posts... I never said you said you werent or anything. Lol just chill out.

It's a difficult one to answer, I'll admit. I have played games that are rehashes of certain other game, but then again, there are new ones that come up on NG every now and again. For example, I've never played a game called Mastermind on a computer before. Sure, we played the game as kids over at my house, but now it's on a computer. That was released about 3 months ago, if that.

You need to work on your people skills a little bit. I'm addressing this to you, FatKidWitAJetPak, as you're insulting a friend of mine. Please stop, he's not a dumbass. I will accept that you don't play games that come through the portal as soon as they enter the judgement process. That's your loss. I play them there and then because I can, but it doesn't stop fresh games becoming available every day of the year.

AS LONG AS YOU FAIL AT QUOTING WHO YOU'RE TALKING TO, you will forever be looked down upon on this forum. That shit may fly over in General, but not here.

You posted the above 1 day after my post, directly UNDERNEATH my post, and I couldn't see anyone else on the current page you could have been talking to other than me. Thanks for wasting my time!

2nd of all I was judging he had been on NG for 3 or 4 years from his very high level.

So you were talking to Coop all along? Again, isn't his sign-up date a bit more of an indicator of a 4 year NG account than his "Very high level"?

3rd of all I was just stating the obvious that you are addicted to NG because of your BBS posts... I never said you said you werent or anything. Lol just chill out.

So you WERE talking to me, as well? Make up your mind, dude.

Whose question, Coop's?

ONCE AGAIN YOU DIDN'T QUOTE WHO OR WHAT YOU WERE REPLYING TO, SO YOU FAILED AGAIN.

If it makes me a dumbass to make it clear who I'm talking to in a thread, then wow... okay. I love being a dumbass.

JOIN ME, it kinda makes you a better BBS user to be such a dumbass as this. SEE HOW I QUOTE? Wow. It's so... revolutionary and amazing. The technology that makes it possible... so hard to wrap your brain around, eh? I know, it's tough.

Wow, someone's pissed of the gfox.

He reminds me of idiots on Team Fortress 2 I've been dealing with for a week now.

Fortunately, I've met about 100 good players, and only around 5 idiots. It's an amazingly good ratio, much better than what I tend to hear about Halo2/3 (I wouldn't know, I've only played Halo 1 online, and that's PC, not Xbox, anyway).

BACK ON TOPIC:

And I obviously knew he was talking to you there. He seems to think I thought he was talking to me again. But I would have thought the "he" and "his" in my sentences would BE A BIT OF A TIP-OFF.

That, and every single Coop post on the BBS says "2004" under the level icon, but... I guess that's a bit TOO SIMPLE for JetPakKid.

It's a difficult one to answer, I'll admit. I have played games that are rehashes of certain other game, but then again, there are new ones that come up on NG every now and again.

That was released about 3 months ago, if that.

Hedgehog Launch is just another kitten cannon, but it is an awesome game. Screw "new"ness, I just want quality gameplay and fun/replayability when it comes to games. Be it PC, console, or flash.

Or hell, be it board or card. #;-}>

No, no. He seems to think you're a dumbass if you post with quotes to show what the hell you're talking about. I'm embracing the dumbass label now, since he probably brings that attitude/conception from General. Over there, you're a dumbass if you can post understandably, I suppose.

Newgrounds is just a flash, audio and community websites, why don't you just go crawl back into Facebook or shitty bebo for fuck sake!

OMG, NEWGROUNDS MMO! Also, I think it's pretty good as a whole when there's nothing to do, it's a good time-waster (along with making actual flash and games).

I was thinking of that when the topic turned to a "Newgrounds timewaster game," because... yes, the only thing more timewastery than wasting time doing shit on NG... is wasting time in NG Sim PRETENDING to do shit on NG.

That said, the topic was about a MMO, and Sim is a single player RPG, so it's a bit apples and oranges.

The thought of so much meta-ness happening... makes me want to cry, though. We don't need all the severely-addicted NG folks who love NG so much and use NG 24/7 ALREADY... resorting to a MMORPG version of NG for even MORE fun. Just enjoy ACTUAL NG, folks. Please. It's much safer that way.

It's kinda like how Valve made it where you can't shoot a portal THROUGH a portal.... you've gotta slap dem portals on surfaces within your own freakin' room, not the.... "meta" room. After all... if that were possible, then it would be possible to portal into the "META meta" room, and then... ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Literally. DOOM style.

There's plenty of people who don't level up, but still do their share of posting on the BBS. For example, there's that one dude who trolls General constantly, ngman7 (formerly Mavericker but that account was permab&), level 1, over 1000 posts. Suaron's different incarnations are also examples, since he usually avoids leveling up but still makes Flash and posts, or cr0m has and had some accounts too. Remember his account cr0mxt from WTF Kitty Krew, the one I got deleted when it submitted some Abu Ghraib stuff? Level 2, post count forgotten but it was more than that dude's. And him getting to Level 2 was an accident.

Also, what he probably means is that he's a native speaker of a language other than English, and he's somewhat addicted to speaking a language other than his own. Or maybe I need to get some more sleep.

And there is a mod who is level 1 as well.

Response to WTF is Newgrounds so addicting... 2008-07-21 23:50:14


I can admit that I see myself being on newgrounds until I absolutely can't. I even talked ot my girfriend about when I get married all I want is about 4 hours a day for newgrounds and she finally said fine to it. I am honestly addicted, but I still find time to do work, hang out with friends, hang out with my girlfriend, and just do stuff that people would do in a normal life. The only way that I've made more time for newgrounds is not going on any other website at all. I've actually committed myself to this website and no other website when I'm on the internet. I so wish I would of been able to be here for the years that I had this account. I'm sure people would actually know who I am and my stats would of been much better. I can see myself being around 50 or 60 years old and still being on newgrounds. I know that can be a sad thing to say, but it's true.

Response to WTF is Newgrounds so addicting... 2008-07-21 23:59:10


Well, I enjoy Newgrounds alot and I have to admit, if there is nothing of importance, I will spend my days on here. I'll be here for quite awhile, if not then till who knows when. But hell, not missing one deposit for an entire year (without any help) says something about you.

I can see the same thing happening to me. This is my release from the working atmosphere and I get my fix whenever possible.

I just need to make sure that if I ever move in with my girlfriend, I need to ahve 2 computers, so that she can do her stuff and I can do mine, otherwise we would end up killing each other within a week.

I hear you there. It's not so much that we would be fighting over the computer though. She really doesn't like me on newgrounds whatsoever. Oh well.
