I apologise for the typoe above.
urm, that was ANOTHER typo there, my friend!
That's supposed to say:
Just because you both do it doesn't mean you're NOT insane.
It's been my observation that the majority of the EGB suffer from some sort of insanity, neurosis, psychosis or just have plain behavioral issues. After all, if you think about it, in real life there a group of people ranging from 14 to (me) that spend some of their conscious life sitting at a computer, logged into a website, and taking on the digital responsibilities of keeping a digital world free of crud.
We're not much different than those who spend countless hours on MMORPGS, pretending to be other types of people, taking on tasks, fighting bad guys, leveling up, and dealing with noobs and jerks that just give us another reason to face-palm.
Only difference is that they have better graphics and weapons. But, as they have clans, we have forums and groups; they have alignments like we do; as you do more things and gather more experience, you level up; you get to taunt your fellow players, and the really obnoxious ones are eventually shunned and blocked out.
I would love to see World of Warcraft add a "Newgrounds" skin and server, and make this place a true 3-d arena. Imagine seeing flashes coming through a portal, and all of us shooting at them - or passing them along. Or confronting spammers face-to-face in a battle, where the losers get banned off a week. As we level up, our armor and weapons get better. We'd have a 3-d barracks to gather in, and have conversations in real time via X-Fire or Skype.
Now, THAT would get a LOT MORE people to Newgrounds ! Could you imagine if Tom and Wade broached that idea with Blizzard? Hmmm... could this be the future of Newgrounds??
Heh, my bad :)
Nah, you're not bad - you're just drawn that way, hehehehe,,,
