Not all of it is Pure. The special effects were pretty cool and the attacking robots at the beginning of the movie were colossal. Kind of like an Indiana Jones flick. Not something I'd buy for my collection but I still enjoyed it. I also watched "The Iron Giant" last night. It's a great cartoon if you've never seen it.

Yeah, it's almost pointless to try and blam crappy flash during these special days so my two button saw a lot more action than usual. I still threw ones at the garbage though.

Oh, I'm not leaving RG anytime soon. Just while the forums are down, I'm spending most of me time here.

It sucks that the images are disabled for the moment. I tried accessing the message board yesterday but was denied. Is it down too? When is the earliest ShittyKitty will have things back to normal? I heard June 1st.

Ahhh, the Iron Giant. One of my old favorites. Heh, "Hogarth." What a name.

Yup, June 1st everything will be back to normal. Basically, the site had major bandwith problems, some from hotlinking but most from the server pulling files from itself 1.2 million times. Thus, to safe bandwith and ensure depositing abilities as well as the site as a whole stays online 'till the end of the month(When a new bandwith limit is set for the month), SK disabled the images as well as the forums. So far, so good. I asked SK today, and he said RG should make it until June.

It is a shame that all that had to happen, though. Luckily, we won't be having that problem again, though.

I was just reading his posts about the shutdown on Retrogade's front page Pure. That's pretty cool how he's trying to keep our experience deposits going. I miss... uh... well... a lot of things on Retrogade (damn, almost gave it away). For one thing it's a pleasant change from Newgrounds when things here are slow or the place is swarming with newbies. Lately I've been missing out on the easy blams, mainly because they don't survive on the portal for very long. Curse all these new voters!!!

congratz to
Eldarion 5K blams
ReconRebel 16K saves
EKRegulus 22K blams
CadillacClock level up
-Mazza- 6K EXP

Retrogade and Newgrounds definitely have their similarities... missing out on easy blams? new voters are always showing up... and how many more blams do you need? You already have over 32k of them.. heh. Why really go for bp so much when you've already made it to EGSC... are you trying to make sure you stay on the top of the list?

Yes, for the time being YoinK. If you don't continue to vote someone will eventually knock you down a spot (or two). I've been keeping a comfortable lead on bila for the last month but he's still pulling in the points on a regular basis. I'd like to reach 100k b/p points but that's gonna take some serious commitment on my part. Right now I'm more interested getting that skull crushing war hammer in my profile. I've never liked the flail.

I think the steady pace of BP is the best way to go because usually those people that go all out for BP each week eventually completely stop. Nobody is a robot, we're all human... except for maybe ramagi and fixit... and denvish... but anyway, the majority of us are not robots. 100 BP sure would be swEEt... it would just take several years to accomplish. YOu'll probably get that hammer in 3 months or less. Have you ever thought about going for some reviews? With the amount of posts you have, you will very easily become quadlisted some day.

30k is good enough for me, I mean excessive blaming after that is just crazy.

Yikes! I'm hoping it's sooner than that YoinK. If I have another 3 months to go that means at least 900 points or more. Last time I looked I was only 300 points away.

Have you ever thought about going for some reviews?

For sure. I'll have to open a second screen when I'm writing them so I can keep an eye on the portal. I'm not the only voting fanatic on the site ya know!

Hello everyone,

How is everyone tonight? I think I've mentioned it before, but I've been rather busy with schoolwork and such and found little time to come to Newgrounds, so sorry. But I'll be around for tonight and I can bounce back some replies if anyone else is up to it.

I'm looking at my stats and nothing new. Has SCD returned yet? And other news or big things I have missed for the past few weeks?

That's good then. How ironic, I was working on a Flash as well. My friend had to submit a story in for English class as he's 2 years younger than me and about 5 people from his class sent me their stories to check over. Hehe. Anyway, I was doing a Flash over his story and he was doing a Flash over a story I had written in my spare time.

What's the time there anyway?

I guess that yaya has passed Yoink in b/p points, how sad! :'( By the way, I kept on missing b/p points lately as around 30% of my votes misfired...:'(

Hehe, first, you need to draw all of the b/p badges and experience levels on Flash.
I did it like a year ago, or more... :P

Now, export a big image of the level with a quality of 100%.
Open Photoshop, say 'bad background!' and it will disappear. Now, select the layer to get the edges of the leve, and start using Plastic Wrap, Chrome, Gaussian Blur and brushes (be sure to remmmeber to fade them all well).
Use some nice layers styles and vwalla! ;D

You can select individual parts of the layer also to concentrate on each part each time... So you can do this to every pic :)

200 posts!!! OMFG!!!

(i'm 200 s/p away from next rank^... 130 away from next secret and about 500ish from level 10... so whatch out soon)...

When I have time, I wanna come back to this thred and congrat people regularly, but for now, SLEEP!

Hey, just to let you all know, that I will have to say goodbye to Flash by Bahamut7:
- none -

I uploaded my first flash just before and so far, it's got a fine score (2.87/5.00 right now).

Other than that, the first review I received was from FrOzEn_FoX and he was the first person to add my flash to his favourites! :D Anyway, here's the flash:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/240125

Under judgment right now, but I'm sure it will get saved.

Awwwell I didnt capture a scriny :(

But umm...

Thanks for voting, carmelhadinosaur!
Your experience points gave you a voting power of 6.58 votes. Your blam and protection points gave you an additional 44% of your experience power, meaning that your total vote power was worth 9.47 votes!

The more experience points you have combined with BLAM and PROTECTION points, the more your vote is worth!

You gave this entry a 5, raising its score from 2.7859 to 2.8215!
If this movie is protected you will get a PROTECTION point!
Your experience points have been deposited already today. Thanks for doing the overtime!

I was wondering if anyone has seen "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". It stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Jude Law and Angelina Jolie (va-voom). The special effects are supposed to be pretty good.

Hmm, haven't heard of that one. So was it any good?
