You're right, it does look like stolen. This must be the original (links to the website can be found in the game). Also, the version submitted here is named Ninja Rinseout 666games. So the submission's name and the name that appears in the flash is not the same, and 666games is another website with flash games, but why would it be called like that if the game is not from there? Also, in-game credits say that the game was made by Pete, but there's no way to know if the person who submitted it here is called like that or not.

I'm pretty sure it's stolen, good catch! You can PM Wade about it, sending him all the evidence ;)

It's not always easy to confirm/disprove whether or not someone has stolen something but usually a little sleuthing helps. In this case he claims to have found it on 666games.com (should be 666games.net) in a response to a review and the flash title has 666games in it.
Also if you start the game it says on the title screen "onemorelevel.com presents Ninja Rinseout" so this is kinda a giveaway. 666games seems just to host all sorts of games rather than make them and they give credit to onemorelevel.com for creating it.
So yes, he did steal it and the original is here but now it's passed judgment I'm not sure what happens. I think someone has to contact Wade but I'm not 100% on that.

OK, I emailed Wade about it in the complaints section and hopefully he'll see it soon. Thanks for all the advice guys! I wasn't sure if the author was legit or if I was just too skeptical, but I'd hope 2 EGB members and a few reviewers wouldn't get something like this wrong.


The simple fact is that some people will never be happy, no matter how good their lives are.

O.O... good luck!

Secondly, I'd like to officially welcome you all to the 1st day of spring.

Bit late posting but thanks for the Roster update Lizzardis I have now 1800 blams or 1,800 either way I'm chuffed at that. Its funny you say about only 3 b/p per month! Mine on average is usually around maybe 13 or so per week. I don't know when the busiest time for flashes is, but I don't got to the portal much unless I'm depositing my five per day. Well Firefox is okay not much change from Camino I could use the Safari ,but I'm used to Firefox layout. I completed my first XBox 360 game without cheats amazing for me LOL.

. The

creator

of the game already has a Newgrounds account so it's obviously not him who has uploaded this new one.

Thanks for the update, Lizz! I'm late responding myself. And you need not apologize for every roster...people have lives, things have typos, life moves on. :-P

If you were doing that horrible of a job, I'd ask you to not do it. Trust me when I say that you're doing quite well, and we all appreciate the effort. :-)

The List:
No. B/P / Gain / Average / Change / Username

I can see I'm getting bested here. :-/

Top 5 Gainers
ByteSlinger - 1,451
Coop83 - 1,291
EagleRock - 1,244
Sushi13 - 1,068

At least I'm in good company. :-P

Any problems with the roster or your stats, just say so and I will correct it. If you choose not to reply back in the thread, you can always PM me and I will sort it out ASAP.

Nothing seems wrong...at least with the stats, anyway. Byte's insano B/P ability is just wrong.

Surging past 70k and gradually climbing my way toward Phantom. I'll get there soon enough. Still a couple of reprobates on the B/P list to pass before him :P

Wow...to think that the mighty Phantom might actually get usurped as the king of the B/P heap...

Well, it's getting a little cosier in the top 5, with Eagle flying really close to me this time and Byte even slowing down to let us catch her up a little :P

Insano? Is that Spanish for insane? Oh, wait - that would be "muy loco". My pace is about half of what it was a year ago - but I wasn't working then. This is actually a low pace for me - but I do keep busy...hehehe....

Sane people can be devoid of scruples as well, and insane people may still be courteous. I don't think there is a correlation between insanity and anti-social behavior. Hell, I believe that most decent sysadmins gave up their scruples (and souls) as part of the job requirements.

Dave Gorman! What a legend! I loved his project of finding so many Dave Gormans through the land and having to only travel a set distance. The Dave Gorman Project was how I discovered him and it was hilarious.

Oh yeah I absolutely love Dave Gorman. I first heard about him a few years ago when one of my friends made me watch his Googlewhack Adventure. Then about a year later I managed to catch his show on TV where he does the experiment to see if his life would be better if he followed his horoscope word for word. Not long after that America Unchained was released so I bought the book and read it while on holiday.

Actually this has reminded me that I never bought the DVD of America Unchained so I just stopped in the middle of typing this post and went and bought it on eBay.

And seeing only Googlewhack Adventure and America Unchained from an eBay search for "Dave Gorman DVD" really makes me wish they would release his other shows. I was lucky to catch the horoscope show on TV, especially being in Australia at the time and it was on at 3am each night for a few nights and I've never seen the show where he finds all the other people called Dave Gorman.

As I said before he's a great comedian but he's still probably my 3rd favorite after Bill Bailey and Jimmy Carr. For me British comedy is miles ahead of anything else. I do love a number of American shows but the British stuff, especially the stand up, is in a league of its own.

Response to The Elite Guard Barracks 2010-03-04 10:01:38


Good work Sushi13 it was flagged again. I don't think I have heard of that comedian. Well seeing point and click games had made me want to play them here on Newgrounds. I'm getting pissed with Firefox crashing its annoying I may go back to Camino. Its the reason I stopped using it in the first place. I know that one of my faves ones was by Zeebarf called The Visitor not played it for a few years classic game here.

I could watch his stuff many times over (especially the Dave Gorman Project) as it is just too funny. I recently caught America Unchained and was pleased as well. He is just way too funny to not watch. Too bad he's getting into that "let's take me seriously" stage. Hell, we take him seriously...he's good at being a nut. :-)

You caught basically all of his best stuff...except his first one, the Dave Gorman Project. It's what made him famous. I highly suggest getting a DVD or a torrent or something to get ahold of it. It's Dave at his best.

In fact, sometimes, instead of just referring to something as coming across "the failboat," we will say, for especially strong fails, that the HMS Failboat has arrived. Her Majesty's Ship Failboat has a certain air of, well, authority about it. :-)

Now, now, Cobra! Be nice to the funny-speaking people with the bad dental plan and an archaic government. Remember, we did have to fight them for our independence - even though it was so easy to pick them off in those nice, bright red coats in the middle of winter. I mean, we could just as easily say that "the USS Failboat has arrived, and it's chock-full of face-palm."

See, it works just as effectively in the more politically-correct American version:

HOLY CRAP!! ROFLMFAO!!! That is so damn true!!! That and the Brits had no clue how to handle the terrain, let alone the weather and the guerrilla warfare! Talk about sticking out like a sore thumb! The battles fought in the Spring, Summer, and Winter were the easiest because they did stick out like sore thumbs. Now Autumn was a bit trickier because of the leaves changing color, but that was evened out because the Brits just stood shoulder to shoulder, side-by-side and we picked 'em off from the trees and hills.

"The USS Failboat has arrives, and it's chock-full of facepalm." I think that should also be a sig. You are a GENIUS!!!!!

That may be true but it's not the British's fault that the pilgrims couldn't deal with the sex, drug and rock n roll lifestyle in Europe and decided to run off and steal a new country from a bunch of peace loving indigent people. The British just wanted their cut.
Also these days isn't it the USA who tries to police everyone else in the world?

It is a cool name, even if he's not named after the Cradle album. And Amadeus is a really nice name as well, I approve.
If I ever have kids it's going to be a challenge naming them because although I'd love to give them cool and unusual names like you've done I would also have to think about going with something more common so as not to give other kids any reason to single them out and pick on them. As sad and stupid as it is, people are totally intolerant of anything that's different, especially kids and kids can be so cruel. Case in point. And the follow up.

I like the sound of that...it sounds like they'll at least be courteous as the ream you out for not paying taxes. :-)

They're not. Don't let the name fool you.

In fact, sometimes, instead of just referring to something as coming across "the failboat," we will say, for especially strong fails, that the HMS Failboat has arrived. Her Majesty's Ship Failboat has a certain air of, well, authority about it. :-)

Yes and I bet the captain goes down on that ship :P

Yeah, because there really is an account maintained from Buckingham Palace called QueenElizabethII.newgrounds.com/ I'm not sure that she would care even if she knew about it.

Guerilla warfare?! In the war of independence, weren't you lot losing out to real guerilla fighters in the Native Americans? The real truth that we've learned how to combat guerilla warfare, while you've learned to use Napalm and Daisy Cutters :P

I hate to bring up Vietnam, but that was guerilla warfare and the US didn't have a clue.

That may be true but it's not the British's fault that the pilgrims couldn't deal with the sex, drug and rock n roll lifestyle in Europe and decided to run off and steal a new country from a bunch of peace loving indigent people. The British just wanted their cut.

Columbus was Italian, he was funded by Spain and the Portuguese, Dutch, French and British all went over to the "new world"

This how messed up it would be if he'd have made land fall in Florida, thus the first US European settlers (conveniently forgetting the Vikings here :P) were devout Catholics. We'd be well fucked.

Yup, he's gonna fit in just fine here on NG. Seriously, that is the attitude that most of us have around here. Eagle, Byte, Coop, myself, a good few of us. ^_^

Anyway, Coop, I call bullshit on the Queen's account. Unless I see some sort of proof that that account is maintained by Her Royal Highness herself, I'm calling BULLSHIT.

Sure you may have learned how to combat guerrilla warfare, but who had the first A-Bomb? Britain, I think not. We did it first. :P Another thing we did before y'all was right here in Kittyhawk, NC on 12/13/1903, FIRST IN FLIGHT MUTHAFUCKA!!! HAHAHAHA!!

/rant and general pissing off of the Brits.

No offense Lizz or to you either Coop, but I'm enjoying this little back and forth of Americans vs. Britain

see what I did there? I marked it up like a Supreme Court Case. ^_^

Well hello there everyone! I hope you are all well and in good health!

Thanks for the update Lizzardis.


Welcome along to the roster. Firstly, I'd like to apologise for my inactivity as of recently... I've been rather busy in real life, and to be honest... I SHOULD be revising for my exams on Thursday... Heh. However, I am getting some revision done over the next few days, so hopefully... All should be good.

Dude, never apologize for being inactive because you have a busy life. We all know how it is. Live life and enjoy newgrounds as a perk. Don't live newgrounds and enjoy life as a perk. :P


Secondly, I'd like to officially welcome you all to the 1st day of spring. Yes, March is upon us and the bird shall start to sing, the grass will grow and we should all wake up with the sun beaming through our windows! Of course... In reality... All the birds are dead because I've shot the noisy fuckers, I have concrete paving stones, and I have black out blinds.

Poor birds. :(

I love the weather so far though. Today I'm in a muscle shirt and shorts. I must say I'm really fitting the name of the shirt. I spent much time in front of the mirror today. I know sad huh?

Milestones:

Congrats. Hopefully I'm at 32k next update.

Promotions:

Congrats.

The List:
10] 31,856 | 0,176 | 05.7 | + 1.03 Fro Sup. Com.

Looks like I'm going to be at number 10 for quite awhile. Not going anyway in either direction too fast I guess.

Top 5 Gainers

Congrats.

Nice we finally got that guy a ban. He had some obvious ones, but he also had a couple pass that weren't so obvious. He's done for awhile on this IP at least.

Your IQ actually considers you to be a genius? I scored about 7 points short of being a genius on the last professional IQ test I had. I forget what it's called, but it was the category right underneath genius. I'm not one though by any means.

As an American I can honestly say we are the most ignorant country in the world. We will get what we have coming to us sooner or later.

The Friday before spring break? I highly doubt many people are going to be on the internet during this time. I'm only on now because I'm at work.

Umm, did you forget that since we have the F-117A Nighthawk, F/A-18 Hornet, F/A-18 Super Hornet, F-14 Tomcat, the F/A-22 RAPTOR, all our Nimitz class aircraft carriers, and all our M1A1 Abrams tanks, we pretty much have our asses covered.

Also, I think we already got what was coming to us 9 years, 5 months, and 22 days ago. 9/11/01. I think that pretty much qualifies for us getting what we had coming to us.

Oh, come on, Lizz - that's a lot of harsh words from a sweet kid like you!

Besides, we're not "off-topic", per se. The general construct of this particular forum is based on a structured military organization whose purpose is to defend Newgrounds from spam, junk and other violators of the laws of the land. It is not a far stretch to bring real-life military discussions into this forum.

That being said, I need to remind most of you why America is more awesome than England:

1) Our leader: A young, decent-looking and intelligent mixed-race gentleman with a lot of good ideas, a beautiful wife, great kids, and a cute puppy who can actively lead the most powerful country on the planet. Your leader: A kindly little old lady who is nothing more than a grandmotherly figurehead.

2) We have better dentists and dental care plans

3) We get to celebrate the 4th of July (and, at YOUR expense...hehehe)

4) We were the first country to put a man on the moon - multiple times. UK count: 0

5) The entire UK would fit in our little podunk state of Iowa

6) We don't get fog and rain most of the year - except for Seattle.

7) We drive on the RIGHT side of the road.

8) Our police force uses better weapons - because being nice to bad guys just doesn't seem to always work.

9) We have the Grand Canyon, the Mississippi River, Mt. McKinley, the Utah Salt Flats, the Everglades national park, half of Niagra Falls, the Rocky Mountains and Death Valley. The UK has some holes in the ground (Buttertubs), a few cliffs (Dover), and a few rocks of interest (the Logan Stone).

10) We have baseball and football. You have cricket and rugby, which are the crude basics for our games. We made them an art form and national passions.

11) We have Harley Davidson - don't even bother trying to top that

12) We have Chuck Norris - need I say more?

I could go on, but despite the few problems you've brought to light, I still think that the USA beats the UK hands down. In fact, we can just send Chuck over and let him do it for us.

Yeah, we may have our faults and our short-comings, and some of our leaders were idiots (like Bush and Bush Light), but you can't top our spirit, our strength and our unity. We take care of our own, and we're not afraid to get our hands dirty and our noses bloodied...

Not really. Your country is overly ignorant, always thinking that for one... You're the best country in the world. While yes, you are one of the wealthiest countries in the world, the most developed and have the biggest land mass available as a whole country...

America is in my opinion the most ignorant country in the world. The other richer countries follow suit, but not to the point that we do. That being said ignorant people are like children. They never deserve to die simply because they don't know what they are doing to the rest of the world. God just because someone eats a hamburger they create demand for beef, which creates deforestation in Brazil, which creates war over land, which kills thousands of people everyday.

It's the governments fault in my opinion. I love the movie V for Vandetta as well. :P


But take it from me, a kid... You're not all that great.

None of the rich countries are. We pick on the small guys and when they fight back we call them the bad guys.


For one, the stereotypical view of an American is fat. Hey, I can't help that, it's just the view of what other people have of America. Personally I don't have that view... But it doesn't stop the majority of the other people around the world having that opinion.

It's very true though. Actually I only see people at the two extremes. I see a bunch of skinny people that choose not to eat and are very thin and unhealthy. I can't believe that there are people in the world that CHOOSE not to eat when there are people in the world that couldn't eat even if they wanted to and they do want to.

Then on the other hand there are fat people who just don't stop eating. You barely find the in between healthy people. We are a fat and selfish nation.


Two, okay you're a great country, but you're pathetic at war. Yes you have all these beautiful machines to fight your wars.... But the people behind the controls don't know which one is a friendly and which one is the enemy.

Nah, we have one of the best armies there are. We have a tough mentality. Kill whatever gets in the way. It's quite different from what it use to be though. When my grandfather was in the war they were tough men. Now things aren't so tough anymore.


Thirdly, you're political debates about finding Osama, and the whole thing with Saddam.... Yeah that was pointless wasn't it? You were like dogs chasing your own tail there. You knew where he was, what he was doing and how to catch him LOOONNNGGGG before you actually did anything.

Well the whole thing is these things should have never happened in the first place. We asked for these countries to take a loan for us and when they wouldn't we sent in assassins. When the assassins failed we sent in the army and said he was doing illegal things. It was all a false thing from the start because we couldn't get our own way.

Finally, you're whole bastarding country comes to a standstill after 9/11. While yes... I respect the fact that people lost their lives and for one, I can relate to how they must feel since losing as family member is hard and even worse when you see actually how they died... But I mean come on. Every chance you guys get you bring up that date.

That's ignorant. You would too. Don't even say you wouldn't because you haven't had it happen to you.


Yes yes okay okay people died, it's a hard time... But please stop bringing it up! We've had it rough too you know! People died in London when those bombings happened on 7/7... We don't bring it up all the time.

You just did.

Sure we mourn on the date, after that though we realise that we are stronger than those who actually committed the crime by actually getting on with our lives and living each day as it comes.

And we do the same thing?


So... Now can we PLEASE stop with the whole America Vs. Britain? Both countries are as bad as each other. Both are pathetic and think they are the best thing since sliced bread yet BOTH COUNTRIES can't even sort out ONE country from the Taliban.

What many people don't know is that both countries are actually the terrorist countries. We take food, water, land, resources, etc... away from these other countries to the point that they can't even have a drink of water. We point guns at them and make them walk through check points everyday. THEN they turned to "terrorism". It wasn't before, it was after we did these things. That's why I said we clearly have everything coming that's coming. We deserve it all. Not the people so much, but the government.


Plus, I was going to make, you know one of those super huge long catch up posts? But I really can't be bothered now. So, without sounding rude and somewhat.... Back-seat moderating (Sorry coop if I am)... Can we get back on topic please? A bit too off-Topic here.

Discussions are never really off topic if they are intelligent are they?
