I'm just hoping on the front page of the AP there is some display on the Top 30 to tell that genre each track is before you have to click it.

It seems like the whole wiki will make things easier for the future users who want to get their questions answered about Newgrounds (besides the wi/ht :P), that will sign up in the future. Even somewhat better than the actual FAQ, IMO.

I like how the wiki can go into detail better than the FAQ but I think we should have a generalized FAQ to stick around since I know new users are doing to search around the wiki looking how to deposit their experience.

Eh, not anymore. Game2rule's Puzzle Room Escape 1-26 kind of killed off the genre for me now.

So they just randomly found Newgrounds or heard it was a site to host flash games. They don't even acknowledge the history of this site and just go and submit those flashes.

It more just a concerted effort to get users to their site. They even have a profile on Kongergate where they dump their games on as well.

Too bad. At least we're rocking out to Motörhead.

It's a shame there was no video of that. You would have thought some one might have brought a camera to record it.

Yeah, it would be very handy to those who want to hear a specific music genre, including myself.
As I said, I expect a lot of improvements in the AP in the new redesign.

Ugh, 123bee's puzzle room escape games ended annoying me so much. They were retardly hard and some of them doesn't respect some rules of the physics, which make some of his puzzles very hard to figure it yourself.

24,000 Medal Points

List to follow.

I now also have the dubious honour of being the person with the lowest medal score to achieve 1,000 Medals

Hell, they all count.

I just hit level 28 a couple minutes ago. Now to reach level 29!

I'm overwhelmed by the responses I got for my speech. I'm owing something back to you all by replying to just about everyone who posted there. This is taking a long time, though but I've had a lot of fun reading all the posts in my thread, even the silly naysayers. No doubt this is the best thread I've ever made on the BBS and I'm not much of a great thread maker to begin with.

Great. :)

I believe it's your turn to try out something by listening to that Overkill song.

Where's the fun in that?

Well, you don't actually hear them but only see them. It's painful to the eyes, but at least you don't have to listen to this horrible thing they call "music".

It is music whether you like it or not.

Not if they were declared that in the Guinness world records.

Guinness doesn't list "the loudest band" any longer.

Maybe not but at one point in their lives, that's what they were declared as.

We can't argue on that because Motörhead are damn good! I'm looking forward to their new album.

And then you will rock out again with your cock out?

Of course I will. Man, I can't believe how little of Motörhead I actually have.

Like I said, they didn't have any monitors exploding in the first place so they're lucky. And besides, what if they're using a laptop such as myself?

If their laptop displays explodes they are really unlucky. Because it's not exactly easy to replace.

Good thing my laptop is immune to exploding from awesomeness.

Yeah...

Well no it's probably not that bad, but Dutch TV station are really annoying when it comes to broadcasting series. They're always at least one season behind the UK and USA, they keep rewinding older episodes (especially with series like The Simpsons and South Park) and if there is an interesting series I'd like to follow it's always broadcasted on normal weekdays at 00:30 or some other unholy time.

I take it they favour crap like reality shows and soap operas? It seems every country is like this and it's a damn shame. They are nothing but cancer to television.

And they're wondering why so many people here watch TV series via the internet...

I'm not even sure if the new season of Futurama has aired in the UK yet so I've resorted to watching them on the internet. I'd watch it on TV if they released the episodes sooner and I'll buy the season box set when it comes out.

Don't forget to mention about the dragon you may have told her at some point. ;)

Yeah I already told her I got a dragon buddy here. Don't think it convinced her...

If a dragon doesn't convince someone to join Newgrounds, nothing will.

Yes but for now, we've got icons to work on. :P

... alright. If you insist on spending most of your summer that way. Remember that you're still young right now.

My friends aren't doing much anyway but we're still the young ones.

That's only for local multiplayer games. Online multiplayer games you can spend hours on such as TF2.

Oh yeah, but you can also play those online if you tell people your friend code and all. Not sure how that worked and I never cared to figure it out. I can't imagine it would've kept me interested in them for that much longer though.

It works differently for TF2 and most computer games since all you need is the server information and you're good to go.

Haha, I went much further than that. I recall something for the Zoras. Don't tell me that was a sidequest all along.

Oh wait a minute. Yeah I probably know where you are. That part wasn't so difficult though, you could easily catch the fish you needed if you know where it was. I'm a little surprised that that's the part where you gave up, because there were other parts in the game that were more of a turn off.

I just don't like fishing. And besides, that was around the time my sister borrowed the Wii for a while. After that, I just lost interest.

I may go back to the Wii since Metroid: Other M comes out next Friday and I really want to play this game. Although I never finished Metroid Prime 3, I sure as hell enjoy the franchise overall. Who knows, maybe I'll get back to Prime 3 after this or even play through the trilogy together.

I just wish they made more games that were specific on the music genres rather than one that caters a bit for everyone. I'd be more much satisfied with an all-metal Guitar Hero game but even that depends on what they can get.

Exactly! That's what my thought was on how to improve the series. Having specific genre's or specific era's for each game. I'd love a Classic Rock or 60's and/or 70's Guitar Hero themed game and I'm sure other people will like Metal or 90's or Pop or whatever.

They did make an 80s Guitar Hero game and they really need to make more games like that.

Making icons and helping out for the future of Newgrounds is hardcore.

Nothing wrong with making it a little extra hardcore by adding a doze of danger to it.

Icon making is hardcore enough.

Speaking of Gagsy, she hasn't been here for a while now. She even took that break or whatever a few days after the meet.

She did make her 31,000th post in here.

Yes but she hasn't been here much recently. I CARE FOR HER!

That would get me to tune in to them. I haven't even bothered with them for so long now.

Nope me neither. I can't remember the last time I watched MTV... well actually I can't remember the last time MTV broadcasted music =/

It must have been ages ago since they last played music. Yeah. you know a TV channel is bad when they completely forget the original purpose of themselves.

True to form, I nudged it this morning. Numb for a few minutes, but I resisted the urge to yell obscenities this time.

Or maybe you were too dizzy to yell anything because you actually nudged your brain.

I've seen house - there was the one episode when Dr. Foreman was having a brain operation and House hijacked the operation to carry on himself. Foreman was pissed off

"House, get out of my brain!"

Everlong? Doesn't seem fitting for a scene where people are whacking each other with giant orange hands.

The part of the video where Grohl grows his hands huge and starts whacking the bad guys (Franz Stahl & Nate Mendel), in an attempt to save his girlfriend (A decidedly effeminate looking Taylor Hawkins)

Lol, I see :p Still, I think the Benny Hill theme will be more suitable.

Ah, the genius that was Benny Hill chasing after semi-naked girls while that lovely piece of saxophone plays.

Go watch it then. I'm pretty sure you'll like it. Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels is another good one from the same director.

Meh, I preferred the TV series, to be honest.

Wait, there's a TV series of that movie? 0.0

Yeah, it was better than the film.

It grows well in the goatee fashion, but the sides of my cheeks are pretty barren. My neck is pretty popular for hair growth and I can fashion some fairly standard sideburns, though I can't control how it all looks at the moment, which is a shame.

Yeah lots of reality and I think about half of them are based around fashion or giving 44 year old whiny housewives a new look. To make things even worse...

We also got a shitload of 'talent shows' with concepts stolen directly from the USA and the UK. Those are the real cancer to television in my opinion and I don't think any of the winners are even getting famous anymore except under the group of teenagers who watch those crappy shows. Unfortunately too many of them still do and that's why we get a new one about every few months.

Anyway, reality shows and talent shows are the kind of crap that is broadcasted on prime time and all the series are pushed to much later times. So I just gotta watch it on the internet because I'm not gonna stay up that late for them.

And they're wondering why so many people here watch TV series via the internet...

I'm not even sure if the new season of Futurama has aired in the UK yet so I've resorted to watching them on the internet. I'd watch it on TV if they released the episodes sooner and I'll buy the season box set when it comes out.

Yeah, I was thinking about buying some series season boxes as well, but the thing is... they're expensive and if I don't even know whether I'll like the series or not, I don't feel like risking it. Even if I think I like a series, you'll still never know how good it will be a couple of episodes later.

Yeah I already told her I got a dragon buddy here. Don't think it convinced her...

If a dragon doesn't convince someone to join Newgrounds, nothing will.

Yeah good point. Oh well, we'll see how this turns out.

... alright. If you insist on spending most of your summer that way. Remember that you're still young right now.

My friends aren't doing much anyway but we're still the young ones.

Hmm well I don't know about the UK but the weather has been quite awful here this summer so it wasn't exactly like: "Hey let's all go out and do this here and here" with me and my friends.

Oh yeah, but you can also play those online if you tell people your friend code and all. Not sure how that worked and I never cared to figure it out. I can't imagine it would've kept me interested in them for that much longer though.

Yeah it's a great series and I think Metroid Prime 1 and 2 are definitely among the best games for the Gamecube. I thought Metroid Prime 3 was received less well, but I would've bought it if I owned a Wii and I would definitely look out for Other M as soon as it came out.

Exactly! That's what my thought was on how to improve the series. Having specific genre's or specific era's for each game. I'd love a Classic Rock or 60's and/or 70's Guitar Hero themed game and I'm sure other people will like Metal or 90's or Pop or whatever.

They did? Don't like the 80s as much as the 60s and 70s when it comes to music, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. I think those Rockband games were a pretty good idea too.

HA!

Oh wait, I know. This is about as monotone as it can get..

What's so monotone about it? I happen to like that song. :(

I heard the last test in maths was even worse. Out of... I don't know, about 100 people or so only about 10 passed...

Damn... difficult subject I suppose.

This and the test was a really bad joke.

I think we have something like that here as well, but the Prof has to give his OK first and in case of the maths tests he said no. Or something like that. I'm not really involved with that test, I just read about the results.

What the fuck. If 83% of the people screw it up, it's most likely not their fault. The test was just too hard.

Yep. Some students told they went to the Prof after the test and said: "About 90% will fail this test, it was too hard." and the prof just replied "I know."

Oh like that. Well I think German is a harder language than Dutch, but maybe it's because Dutch people usually have a bit of a modest tone when they're talking.

Germans have a modest tone as well. :P

Doesn't seem like it though. They always sounds a bit aggressive or dominant to me.

It's just because of the stereotypes you have about germans. :P
But seriously, I guess it's pretty hard to make out the tone or the intention of the speaker when you hardly understand the language.
Of course, the german language makes use of pretty hard sounding tones like the "ch" or "t" and "k" and "ck". Maybe that makes it sound agressive to someone who doesn't understand too much.

Yeah, you have to be quite fit in the language if you want to develope some kind of "feeling" for it.

Yep. Maybe if I had played computer games in French instead of English I might have had a feeling for it. But nonetheless I'm glad I developed my English that way instead.

I never liked the french language too much, to be honest. Everyone says that it sounds so "beautiful", but I think those nasal sounds sound pretty stupid.

Oh yeah I read that in the paper some time ago. I guessed it must translate to something like: City of blablalblalblalblalblabala.

Yeah, "City of Angels where" something great and awesome happened.

Lol :p

Luckily they didn't go with entire history of London when they decided to call it London.

Hm, but once you learned the name of the town you've learned about 90% of english history already. Wouldn't be too bad. ^^

Metallica - Garage Inc. I actually thank Haggard for getting me to get this. It's a decent set of covers and for £5, who can complain?

For 5 bucks it's an absolute steal.

Great. :)

I believe it's your turn to try out something by listening to that Overkill song.

If I remember it, I'll check it out on Saturday/Sunday.

Where's the fun in that?

Well, you don't actually hear them but only see them. It's painful to the eyes, but at least you don't have to listen to this horrible thing they call "music".

It is music whether you like it or not.

Maybe, but I don't have to call it "music" if I don't want to.

Not if they were declared that in the Guinness world records.

Guinness doesn't list "the loudest band" any longer.

Maybe not but at one point in their lives, that's what they were declared as.

And at all the other points in their lives they got told that they suck. :P

Also, Spinal Tap are still one louder.

Level 29!

Something strange just happened. My Blams for today nearly jumped 170 Blams and there isn't that much in the obituaries. Does anybody know if the whistled movies head to the obituaries or are they just straight up removed?

Oh, I checked Bahamut stats and it showed he has a plus 51 Blams on his stats so it isn't just me. Now he has 77,828 B/P now. :(

Strange and mysterious things happening! Has this happened to anyone else? I just got a boost of about 60 blam points added to my account for some weird and unapparent reason.

Blams: 17242 (+69 since last log)
Saves: 14763 (+43 since last log)

112 for the day a I can guarantee I have'nt voted on any where near that many, more like 40 votes max. Checked NG Logs also and it has the same figures. I'm interested in knowing if anyone else had a nice blam boost.

Oh! And before I forget 32,000 B/P points

LOL! *looks up and sees Reverend had same issue

Very strange indeed.

I feel really sorry for Bahamut. At least it made much more closer to 8,888 Blams.

Blams: 8860 (+100 since last log)
Saves: 24781 (+21 since last log)

I don't know what happened to my blams but...
"You passed 40000 B/P! Congrats!"
"You passed 10000 Blams. Impressive!"
Hey Bahamut, I'm qualified to be on the Pentalist, right?

[ Last List ]

FINALLY! I finally got my gold whistle :D. Now onto the long arduous process of getting my wings and halo >.<

I got a large number of blams as well, somewhere between 100 and 200 I think but I'm not sure. It must have something to do with Wade deleting a bunch of old whistled flashes because I also finally got my Deity Whistle.
And broke 8,000 saves.
Not a bad day in all.

Blams: 12615 (+195 since last log)
Saves: 24633 (+28 since last log)

i love when this happens

and I am really sorry Bahamut, take it as a signal, that ng need you... you can't retire yet XD

just kidding

Level 16 which is a nicer icon than the ones i've been sporting lately.

Well well, seems as if some spam account got deleted... or something like that.

Anyway, I got 233(!!!!) Blams over night. Not only does this help my B/P pace quite a lot, but I also passed 15,000 Blams!

I only needed 5 more yesterday, lol.
