Yes of course you missed Clock Day such a shame it was so cool and I got a lot of b/p points. Well in the last what 2 months if that is how long it is, I have gone from PS2 to XBox 360 to ps3 and now XBox 360 again. The reason I got rid of my first XBox was because I had trouble with RROD ,and I traded it in for PS3 which rocked apart from the lack of games. I wanted lots of games only on XBox 360. Trouble is I'm I love the Sony control pad its rocks and I miss it but I don't want to do anything rash. Damn next gen consoles are more trouble sometimes.


Archer I'm a good shot!

Black metal and indie? Like African-American metal and idie? Because that is the weirdest combination I've ever heard. But post some stuff online and send me the link. I'm interested to hear you guys.

might try to get something together for homecoming as well. =]

Aren't we all, aren't we all.

Aside from that, things here seem to be doing well, hopefully get a new comp next month sinxe the computer is completely crashed. =[

Yeah, I've got to wait. It doesn't pay to get myself a new computer since I'll be going to college in a year and need a laptop.

Besides, I'm saving up for a car because my cheap ass sister is commuting to culinary school, which means I won't have a car from 10:30 AM to 6:30 PM. Previously, we shared the car that was given to us for free by our parents. But now that I'll be able to go home early and possibly try to get a job, it pays to have a car.

I would ask my sister to chip in for my car, but that was cause a shitstorm the likes have never been witnessed before. I mean, it's not like I'm giving up anything by letting her have the free car and me having to find a car, and then drop $2,000+ on it. </sarcasm> But not only that, the bitch doesn't know how to spend (well, I should say save) her money. She can spend $100 on her boyfriend, but not have money for her college textbooks. She can get coffee 3 days a week, but when I ask for her share of the gas money, she's "only got $20 for the next week and a half".

I'm very curious to see the roster this month, considering it was the first Clock Day I actually voted on submissions. It'll be very interesting to see how everybody did this month.

I just want to say Tarboy is an amazing animation and has brilliant music, it's so professional and it's one of the best submissions NG has had in a long time. I especially loved how the author included extra videos of concept art, it's really interesting. My favourite scene would have to be 'the stalking robot' scene, the music and animation for that part is amazing, I found myself watching that part over and over again. Overall, brilliant animation and I'm not surprised it won the top three awards this week.

My xbox finally broke after 3 and half years of good use, no problems up until now. I had good exam results and I'm confident I will get into University now so I'm in quite a happy stage, so my xbox dying didn't bring me down as much as I thought. I have enough money to buy a new one or get it fixed, it's just the question whether I want to spend my money on an Xbox right now.

I copied out of textbooks, read through the text books out loud and revised with my teachers. It seriously helps if you collaborate with friends too.

I got the following:
Graphic tech. Theory: B
Media Studies: B
Art: A
Information Communication Technology (ICT): A

Hope I do even better this year, and by next year i'll be attending University.

I just watched Tarboy, and it's awesome! As you say, it looks really professional, the animation and music are great, and the storyline is good to (fortunately there will be a Tarboy II). I instantly added to my favorites, and I'm sure it will be nominated for the NG awards. I really enjoyed it, and I am still watching it over and over again.

Something that really helps me study in college is to take a little bit of notes in class, but most of the time just listen because usually teachers really stress the things that are going to be important. And then I do all of the reading, then go back through the reading and my notes to make note cards. The beauty about note cards is you can take them anywhere with you and you can take a glance at them whenever possible.

Sitting on the toilet then look at your note cards, waiting in line at a restaurant then look at your note cards, etc... It's really helped me study as I can't stand reading the books either. I can't seem to concentrate.

I would only wrote down the important sections of thing's I didn't quite understand. I usually remembered everything else, and I forgot to say I took notes during my lessons too.
Only subjects I actually had to revise to was Graphics and Media studies.

I have not seen Tarboy yet but I may check it out, so Chris Beer been up to old tricks has he may he is Betty alt. Well I reported loads of possible stolen flashes its a pain when they pass. Been playing Warriors Orochi love it I have got the sequel also. Well I have been caught up with my XBox 360 again I mean I want to keep it had it almost 3 weeks now LOL. My b/p been pretty good this week so far. Anyone ever heard of 3do? I have this thing for looking for old consoles.

Nah, I've talked to betty (Usernamed). He's a Hell of a lot cooler than Chris. Back in the day, Usernamed would go to a userpage and post one comment, usually something like "FUCK YOU BITCHES" or whatever, and people would freak out over that single line. If that was all Beer did, he'd be just a minor annoyance, maybe even funny to other users that are generally considered annoyances. As of now, any and all word I get, even from spammers, is anti-Beer. That's right, even the other spammers think he sucks. And I can see why too: he's ruined what little was left of spam. When the [FF], and even more the [OO], were deleted, Beer and everyone else involved in his shit were to blame. Of course, none of his crap wasn't done by cr0m or someone first, except the "hacking mods" thing (I think, though I wouldn't put it past Goldencat).

Well I reported loads of possible stolen flashes its a pain when they pass.

Ugh, yeah. Especially when it's so obvious that they are stolen that even an idiot can tell. I haven't flagged anything in a while, I never get on and see any and I'm always too late for the ones in here, but when I do get in, I flag. What ever happened to being a well-rounded user? Or are the kids now running rampant in the Portal just too stupid to figure out the Whistle?

Anyone ever heard of 3do? I have this thing for looking for old consoles.

Oh, yes. Back in the old days, before I first took the name "Soulmaster", I knew so much more about the old systems... Another knowledge that was allowed to lapse between 2005 and 2007. Was it the 3do which had porn games like "Men in Ties", or is that some other near-forgotten system that I'm forgetting? 2004, when I knew these things, now seems so long ago.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2009-08-27 18:15:35


Well, I try to be a well-rounded user. I flag abusive reviews after I find them and share them with others via AIM and if I'm not sure but I think they could be abusive, I always ask before I flag. I also report the stolen/malicious/unsuitable/etc. flashes and blow my whistle on them when need be.

But as far as the general user is concerned, the well-rounded user has gone by the wayside. Thus leaving nothing but idiots.

Click on about, and it's on there as the website in the author comments. www.spacebomber.com. Plust it's stayed on this long without getting swapped out or anything, so I call legit, unless he had a tlydd.com email address or something.

This one is iffy. It's just a playlist of songs from the new dope cd, with a link to a .torrent to download it. I flagged it as unsuitable since it looks too much like audio theft. Do as you please.

So I finally had enough time to stop playing Batman: Arkham Asylum (fuck you, Riddler and impossible to get riddles unless I've upgraded the right weapon) to watch Tarboy. And might I say, I was quite impressed. At how underwhelming it was.

Yes, it was a very good flash; great effects, nice use of digital, and a storyline that I loved. The musical was adequate in general, but since it was custom made for a flash rather than just stolen from some feature length movie, it was excellent and fit perfectly with the movie. But there were a lot more flaws that detract from it.

Outside of the digital and special effects, the art style, to put it nicely, was modern and very very stylistic. In otherwise, I've seen a lot of flashes with the same style of drawing and animation, and they all were drawn a little better than this. Sure, Grandpa, grandson and killer robot look good, but the rest could have been drawn by any other decent flash artist on NG.

Also, the sound effects aren't always there when I expected them to be. When Tarboy was chasing the dude into the building, there should have been footsteps or squishy sounds when the music stopped. Or when Tarboy was getting melted, there could have been a thousand screams of the dead robots. It may sound like nit-picking tiny things, but it's those tiny things that are noticed.

And the length. I understand for Newgrounds that they wanted to keep it under 10 MB and save some for the sequel, but it felt way too short. Throw in that cut elevator scene. Have a little more of a fight to get in or search to find the asshole that led him to the trap. It just felt like there could have been more.

Overall, it was a great flash with a great story, but it shouldn't be at the top of anyone's list.

Anyone else ever notice how everyone has their own term for NG users? Is there an actual official term for us or what?

So far I've seen:

NewGrounders

Anyone got any input?
