Hey, just thought I'd drop in since I haven't been around in quite a while. I see you are talking about flash, best of luck to you. How long have I been away? So, I guess I have a little explaining to do... Meh, I will explain when I have time, I have some major catching up to do.

Well keep your head up and your eyes on the prize you desire and you will reach it sooner than you think! I don't know when Slash is even coming back but it doesn't look like it is going to be for a while so I think you could pull in on crazy lead before he does come back around! :)

Yeah, my lead is already around 3000 points, and growing every day. As for top 50 though, right now I need about 38,000 points, but there are a group of fast movers between me and the prize, which means by the time I get there I could need 45-50,000. What with reduced internet time over the Summer I don't think I'll make that total before I get back to university in September/October.

I look forward to Clock Day and hopefully some more submissions! I don't care if the submissions are quality or crap right now because they both equal points for me one way or another. I am kinda disappointed though that many of the groups aren't around anymore. It seems like a lot of them just stopped submitting altogether and while that does take away a lot of crap, it also takes away a lot of points. :(

I've never seen a clockday- every year I am away on that day, and I'm willing to bet it will be the same this year. In fact I may well be in Spain, not sure yet. I don't like the spam groups, even though they do submit a lot. I never get the points anyway as I almost always vote the wrong way, so better off without them I say.

Of course it rocks! Its one of my favorite Zelda games ever, and thats saying a lot considering that before this one came out the only Zelda game I considered to be better than many other games was A Link to the Past and everyone knows thats a classic! :)

Very true, though I am a total OOT addict (I must have completed it well over 20 times), and loved Majora's Mask and Windwaker as well (I'm easy to please :D). Everything I've heard about TP- how it is set in Hyrule etc, just makes we want it more.

You've never played a PS2/3 or XBob/360 before though? You're not really missing out on the newer systems but the PS2 was pretty good in my opinion! :)

Just always had Nintendo consoles, as I love Zelda/Mario/Metroid games, and my sister likes that kind of thing as well. Don't have the money for more than one console, nor do I see the point, so I've never had anything else. I still love my Gamecube, with Timesplitters/Mario Kart/F-Zero/Resi 4/windwaker/Both metroid games etc, so no need for a PS2 :).

On with other business!

REVIEW CHALLENGE RESULTS!

Sorry I didn't get these out yesterday- the spreadsheet I use is on my work comp and forgot to do it before I left yesterday. ILC never got back to me, so just myself, Shanus and PenguinLink with the voting for these. If anyone else wants to be a part of it SAY SO, the more the merrier.

Week 3 results:

1) Sentio
2) EagleRock
3) Shanus
4) Solidone
5) Azentiger
6) Snerd

Week 4 results:

1) Sentio
2) EagleRock
3) Shanus
3) Azentiger
5) Snerd

OVERALL (10pts for 1st, 6 for 2nd, 4 for 3rd, 2 for 4th, 1 for 5th)

Sentio 30 pts
EagleRock 12 pts
Shanus 12 pts
Azentiger 6 pts
PenguinLink 6 pts
Snerd 3 pts
Solidone 2 pts

Well done to everyone who is taking part, it has been very hard ranking these reviews the last couple of weeks. Once again the results were very close each time, and far from unanimous. And apologies that I keep coming out on top, as I said before blame the other judges not me! If you have a problem with it then volunteer for the panel and vote how you think it should be :). Or write a better review than mine.

As I said yesterday the next challenge has been postponed due to lack of participation in round 5, so we are still reviewing Nintendo Shorts. Deadline next Wednesday as usual.

Also, I've set up a thread on the forums for my stories, so if you haven't read them go and check it out! There will be a new one up in the next couple of days- it is finished but being read over by a few people first. All feedback welcome, I want to know how I can improve, and if you have any questions regarding my ideas and influences while writing them then that thread is the place to ask them!

I think that is everything...

*salutes*

Oh, wait, I made 35k B/P points yesterday, that kind of got lost in all of my writing :)

NEW STORY IS UP! Go check it out, I hope it isn't a waste of anyone's time- all feedback I've had so far has been positive. If there is anything you would like to see changed, any mistakes I made etc then say so, and I'll do that in future! The more feedback the better, either here or on the forums.

I'm still here. No one tends to respond to my post though.......I'm unloved.

Got that right, you fucking bitch.

Also i got a decent amount of B/P so far. To bad i will soon have to do 1000 instead of 500.

Stop complaining. Back in my day there weren't b/p levels; you just b/ped for fun and stat whoring.

Ah, good to see someone alive, and apologies for not replying to your previous post, I didn't see it :).

Those gaps do get annoying after a while, though 1000 isn't too horrible. You just wait until the 2000 gaps come along, those are terrible!

And you're right, the portal has been pretty good today- I'm well on my way to a 100 point haul.

Also just to let you guy's know, Slash is VERY close to level 13. That bat will give him powers like no other. Anyway now i must head back to the portal to check things out.

Oh goodness, just think of the things he could do with that bat! The err... places he could put it :S. Thankfully my pipe still outranks him, so it will take more than a lump of wood to scare me!

Yeah and im still here as well. I have just been browsing the posts and stuff. And i just got back from the forum as well. And on that note, Awesome stories Sentio hope you can keep up that awesome work. Also, I missed about a day and a half's worth of b/ping but my gf was here and well I have my reasons for missing that much b/ping. But Im sticking to a somewhat good pace, Slow but good none the less.

Blast, however I must congratulate you, you managed to stay loyal to B/P which I couldn't do. I'm sure you'll do well after you pass me as well, at least for some more time my spot in the top 50 still exists.

Sorry I havn't posted in a while ( I probably wasn't missed anyway), I have been suffering from major bouts of depression ( no that doesn't make me emo) as I have hit a bump in my life. Unsatisfying job, friends achieving more than myself, single for my whole life, no direction to go, constant hassle from family to achieve more, you know the stuff. But I'm better for now and I have been in the portal a bit more trying to get a substantial boost to my points. Its nice to everyone else has been having fun and how well you are doing in stats and life. I will try to post a bit more and take part in your conversations a bit more or offer an opinion but I cant make a promise.

Also I-Love-Caitlyn I would deposit for you If your willing to trust me.
Keep active in the portal guys and some other motivational phrasing for you.

Only eagle took part in last weeks challenege, so I am going to leave the same one up (Nintendo Shorts- a link can be found in the Barracks forums) for another week. I didn't have time to review it either, but hopefully a few more people will be able to today.

I'll be sure to review this week's submission, since I haven't taken part in a while. Sorry about that, mang.

And finally, my sister bought a Wii today :D. It's another month and a half before I'll get my hands on it, but at least it is now waiting for me at home- my Zelda cravings will finally be satisfied!

Heh, that's nice to hear. If the console comes with WiiSports, (As I'm assuming it still does) you'll be able to play tennis and other sports. Too bad it doesn't have footie, since I'm assuming you would have squealed and everyone would have looked at you in a strange way. But alas, there's us still hoping such a sport gets integrated sometime soon. :) And you'll love Zelda too. :D

I should look forward to that new animation of yours. As for me, I still need to work on Sentio's animation. :3

I'm sorry to hear about all that. It's good to see you've gotten better though and that you're B/Ping once again. And remember, keep rowing that boat, no matter what. Your life will eventually become better through the passage of time. I believe we all go through this in some point in our lives, it's just a matter of coming out of it and realizing we did something worthwhile in life and knowing that the good stuff is yet to come.

Also, I'm now an Elite Guard Sergeant Major!

It seems that the portal was really slow for the past few days. I checked the portal in the morning and there was only one under judgment entry!

The portal seems to be OK today. Yesterday I flagged an entry because it tried to spawn about a bunch of pop-ups, so be on the lookout for those.

Good to hear you're feeling better, everyone goes through those rough patches. I was really low back at Christmas for all sorts of reasons. Not knowing where your life is going can be a real burden, I should know, I'll be graduating from university next year and the only thing I know is that I don't want to do what I am doing now. You just have to take each day at a time and sooner or later things will pan out. Life can only get better after all :)

Going to college, living on your own possibly, it's even harder for the people that still have not found what they wanna do with there life's. Anyway I'm off to the portal to check things out.

Also true, you feel like by this point in your life you should have some kind of direction, and when you don't it gets you down. Living on your own can be a good thing, but sometimes it is nice to have someone to talk to- I know I really miss that. Plus there is all that added responsibility, that sucks!

Yup, it has Wii sports, but frankly with Zelda to play it isn't going to get a look in for a while. Plus I'm looking forward to Super Paper Mario. And what kind of sports game DOESN'T have footie? Pfft!

Nice games you got there. :)

I don't have much time for gaming these days, so I only buy the very best. It means my selection is small, but full of quality. And the likes of Smash Bros have kept me entertained for years.

You don't have to apologize for having great reviewing skills. :)

Just feels like I am cheapening it by winning every week.

I'll be sure to check those out. Although I've only read two of them if I'm not mistaken, I'm sure the other two with Nyt Shadow will be great as well.

I've had a lot of positive reviews so far, and most people prefer the Nyt Shadow stories to the Bob ones, so hopefully you will enjoy them :).

Hey, you still have Bob, don't you? :D

I do, but he doesn't live in the Barracks, he'd make a bit of a mess :S

I got back from Charlotte. I went to the Heroes Convention. I only got to stay for today. I had a really great time. I got a lot of stuff signed. I met some interesting people including Rachel Nabors and Josef Komenda. They are self-published. Rachel does manga-style work that is pretty funny. Her website is subcultureofone.com . Joe's website is feral-chicken.com . Please check them out. They are truly great people and both of them are under-exposed. They have great talent and they are two of the nicest people I've ever met.

Its a great place to live.

Lol, the sarcasm in that comment almost melted my screen :P.

It nearly over heated my motherboard.

It's crap, part of sport is the physicality. It doesn't have to be like rugby, but whatever happened to fighting for the ball? Do that now and both players would probably roll off in different directions!

Yeah but soccer has always been a little more 'weak' in that way. AFL still gets those great acts of courage, strength and skill but not so many anymore. My team 'Hawthorn' are well known for there courage and its good to see the sort of things they do.

Speaking of which, the Hawks played last night and......well......we won by 100 points :-)

Best game in a long time, and the umpires did a much better job. I think they were spoken to after last weeks match.

Of course, have to take every opportunity to mock the redesign. Though I still have complete faith it will be awesome when it does eventually get here.

Yeah, jokes aside I am sure that the NG team are doing an awesome job with the redesigning. I wonder if they will stay with the orange sort of layout. Orange is yours and my favourite colour and I hope they keep it that way. (Or maybe I dont) not really sure.

Ahahahahahaha, though my spot will be up for grabs soon :(

I still wont make it even without you. Maybe I should add a new section on the update for people with +50 points per day. Thats more achievable.

Oh well, I'll have better things to do in the Summer. Might even have a new lass in my life ;)

It works out well because its Winter for me so I dont have anything better to do. Its way too cold. I had tennis this morning and I waited 3 hours to play 3rd and last set and the girl (one of the opposition for the other team) injured her ankle so they forfeited that set. I was freezing my ass off just watching the others.

It probably is, I'll be back down to around 20 very soon.

YES! Bout time.

Oh SNAP, I'm slipping! Can't believe I let that one get by me! :P

Hahaha, I should purposely put them in now and make them harder to find each time.

I tried but my computer insisted that I continue and I cant say no to my computer.

Laptop fixed, took me 5 days of mourning but I got there, everything had to be wiped, so I've gt nothing now, means I can do the update too. And finally beat your B/P points

Did you set up a little feature wall with lit candles and a picture of the lap top while it was gone. Do a bit of spiritual dancing and singing. Yeah that sound like you.

Im glad you can do that update, not so glad about the b/p catching thing.

Haha maybe, but you're 3 years younger, that's alot of extra whom time

True. I dont even really take notice of peoples ages on NG. Thats the great thing about the internet in general, you get to talk to people you normally wouldnt and age isnt a problem.

Haha, I've seen those too, what people will do for money

Well he needs the money pay for all those texts he makes! :D

Nice update as usual

I'm sure the one you will do will look just as good.

Top 3 biggest average rises: Shanus + 9.9, pepeatumi + 8.9, Sterockicy + 8.6!
Oh yeah, rulage. It would've been so much higher

Mine will go up heaps once I get back from camp (when I go)

The gap's smaller, but remember I've got like 70 points the last 5 days, my pace is good :P

Pffft whatever, 70 points a day is nothing! I had my average at like 100...........for two days!

Congratulations. It does tend to get a bit tedious trying to average your B/P points to a relatively same amount.

I wasn't trying to average them out, I was just B/Ping as normal, but a monumental shift in the Portal balance made this all possible. I was doing 10-15 Saves a day and 20-30 Blams a day. Now it's more like 25-40 Saves per day and 10-20 Blams per day. Go figure.

Ever since Tom changed some of the portal settings, blams are way toughter to get then saves. I used to like the old system better when the blams would stay there for a good while. That way, I used to get more. Well, I guess this current system is better because it gets rid of the shit quicker. :/

Right now, you don't meet the requirements to join. Go to the portal and gain some B/P points first.

When you hit Security Guard rank, you may join the NG Police Headquarters.

Once you reach 1500 B/P Points (Elite guard Private), you may join us. However, you must not have a lot of short and/or bad posts in order to join.

Good Luck!

Is that so? I guess it's better than what other people have been called these days. :P

S'ok, just so long as you don't forget about us :)

Nah, I won't. Wait, what is this place called again?

Yup, it has Wii sports, but frankly with Zelda to play it isn't going to get a look in for a while. Plus I'm looking forward to Super Paper Mario. And what kind of sports game DOESN'T have footie? Pfft!

Super Paper Mario is great. I'm sure X-Naut would agree with me. :) Although I've only played it once, it looks like a solid action/RPG game that would entertain you for hours.

I don't have much time for gaming these days, so I only buy the very best. It means my selection is small, but full of quality. And the likes of Smash Bros have kept me entertained for years.

Speaking of Super Smash Bros., the one coming out for the Wii will keep every child in the planet who owns a Wii locked inside in his/her house playing for hours, rejecting any kind of food or drink, for many days to come. :D

I do, but he doesn't live in the Barracks, he'd make a bit of a mess :S

I reckon he would. But if you would give him a female flying monkey, Bobia, (Hey stfu, that would be her name, ok?), then he would be entertained for hours. ;)

I congratulated you at the start, and I'll congratulate you at the end :D. You're moving through the ranks really fast!

Thanks, once again. :D

I wasnt alive in those decades nor was I introduced to soccer until I was around 7. I would love to see some English football, we only really get the world cup televised on free to air TV and on Foxtel (cable) there is only the European crap.

I like to make soccer a little more physical if I even play it at school. Its alot more fun, especially when the trips you make are real.

I think the overall colour scheme will be much the same, after all that is the NG colours. They may change the background gray slightly, but other than that it will all be about layout.

I hope the redesign looks really futuristic and has some unheard of features. I chose Newgrounds as my site of choice now it must repay me with its brilliants.

I can imagine that it would be near impossible to play tennis in the snow over there. Luckily Australia does not get snow so it can be played in the winter. It is still very cold but still fun.
