I know what you mean. Just really unpredictable lately.

Wow. Barney Bunch. The original cast that made all those Pickled SPAM flashes that they were swapping were really just a waste of human space. The ones that made actual Barney Flashes, though they sucked, were at least somewhat humerous at times. But the swappers made a name for those guys and there were too many swappers for me to care who was who any more.

Depending on the flash, they were quite funny. I did protect certain Barney Bunch flashes if they were done well enough. I can still remember the script:

"This is the secret episode of <insert thing here>. If was never <word for shown> on <whatever it was shown on, because it was way too <funny or sexy>. Warning: you must be at least <a ny number between 100 and infinity> years to watch this.

"Hello! I am <insert main character here> and I'm really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really gay. <random buttsex-related text follows."

Ah, the heyday of the Portal spammers...

Incidentally, I'm working on Chapter 10 now, but I can't guarantee it'll be done tonight.

I always hated them. I almost never saw their real flash, and I always ended up seeing Angelica/Drew/whoever from Rugrats jacking off. Now, whenever I watch the show, I can't those images out of my head.

DAMN! Missing some good ol' BLAM points right now! Rare to get those these days with so much junk passing thru the portal.

Yep. I was wondering what would happen for those folks that didn't have an even '10' like I do. Mine just said '0 left to 21' when I made it yesterday.

I haven't read over the last couple (ok, probably a lot more than that)of pages yet, but I will get to it once I have posted this. The idea of quoting all of that was too much...

So I'm back in the UK! Flight was ok- decided not to eat or sleep despite it being overnight (and 9 hours long) as it makes the jetlag easier to handle. 38 hours without sleep was a struggle, but feeling great today so all is well.

I'll read the story chapters now and post comments in the EGB forums as usual, and I see I finally dropped off the top 5 list in the EGB roster :(. I've been getting just 5 or 6 points a day since the weekend- 2 more months of that to go (I may make an exception for clockday)- Twilight Princess has got all my attention right now :D

Hopefully I'll be able to post in here at least once every couple of days, so I'll be about :)

Welcome back to blighty. Now you've got to put up with the available hours of people like me, rather than the US times, when you can catch all of those flash submitted up to about 2 am US time.

Even though I wasn't a fan of them myself, it's wrong of you to tell others what they need to do with the flash. It's not like they were stolen flash and you had proof of the theft...you had an opinion of the flash and expressed it, coaxing others to vote the way you did.

I personally don't care if a flash is so blatantly horrible that anyone would blam it...you don't tell others what to do with a flash. Don't even suggest it. We're all Elite Guards here and know how to B/P. I might have thought the flash was worthy of the Portal and protected it for all you know, and that would have been perfectly right, as it would have been a fair vote.

This club was almost locked many times because of talks like that. We are NOT a blam club, we do NOT take sides one way or another towards the different groups on Newgrounds, and we most certainly do NOT tell others how to vote. If you want proof, see how many times in this thread I told you how I voted on a flash; you'll see there isn't any.

Please don't start to undo that. We are all fair voters here and vote how we feel the flash should be judged, regardless of whether we get the B/P point or not. That is what separates our club from the rest and makes us what we are. The conversation on the last page disturbed me a bit, as it reminded me of those days when we were diverting from that and I had to plead to the moderators to not lock us. I don't want to reprimand people or kick them out (I've had to before, just ask Dream-of-Duke), so let's keep our opinions to ourselves and be fair out there. Thanks.

That's pretty cool. So you make my computer run, my calculator calculate, and my TV work. Or you test the machine that makes all that stuff work.

Oh, well. At least I can stare at my sexy new level 21 avatar.
Alright, we know you're fucking level 21! Enough with it already!
I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!!

It's a rusty crowbar for God sakes! I'd much rather have a switchblade (LVL 26), or the machete (LVL 30). And those are only for the levels I'm going to get in the next couple of months. I'd love to have at least the golden glove (LVL 47), if I could choose.

Mmmmm.... crowbar....
Mmmmmm..... crowbar to your face....
=(

If you want I can put something else in your face :)

Wait until I have a pipe wrench.

I'll have it first (3 days).

Look, I know you're excited to be moving up levels really fast compared to the old days, and you're excited to be able to be a level 20+, but most of us in the Barracks are at or above your level, and we're moving at the same pace as you.

I'm sorry I freaked out at you.

I do some travel in the US, but most is abroad. I was in Germany for 5 weeks from May to June. It freaking rained almost the whole time, I kid you not. I'd say about 70% of the time I was tehre Other places I'd go is China, Singapore and Korea. Others as well, but those are the big ones.

That's pretty cool. So you make my computer run, my calculator calculate, and my TV work. Or you test the machine that makes all that stuff work.

Yep, I test it. Each one takes about 4-8 weeks to fully test, then it gets shipped to be installed and that takes 3-6 weeks of Final Test.

It's a rusty crowbar for God sakes!

Well, it's not so much that it's the crowbar as it is that is ISN'T that sucky pipe. I've dreaded having that before I ever had it, then I got it. I hated it! That's why I didn't even make a sig with it in it.

I'd much rather have a switchblade (LVL 26), or the machete (LVL 30). And those are only for the levels I'm going to get in the next couple of months. I'd love to have at least the golden glove (LVL 47), if I could choose.

The gloves are all-around sexy. I'm not a huge fan of the switchblade, though. It's ok, not my fav.

My FAVS are probably the chainsaw (LVL 39) and that Bone Clever (LVL 40). The sickle is also sick at LVL 45. That golden skull mace at LVL 56 is pretty awesome, but will I ever see that? Maybe. BIG Maybe.

Mmmmm.... crowbar....

Yup, most are ahead of me, but that doesn't make me feel like crap or anything or make me feel less "accomplished". Nope, I enjoy my newness wen I get it regardless.

I'm sorry I freaked out at you.

I didn't know you were tweaking out. But now I know, so I'll have to cast a spell on you. A neg level spell. HA! That would be rich!

If I get some good ones at some point, I would like to see what I can do as well. When I'm there I see people smashing golf balls, but they're using super-elite clubs.

Yeah, that it is. Definitely one of the huge downturn on NG.

Portal Spam = Flash made without care for creativity or result of product and uploaded to the portal.

Basically, they know it sucks and upload it anyway because they and their kiddie friends think it's funny to get things thru the portal system.

Don't forget an NG rule is if it's a long intro to a loop it's SPAM and needs to be deleted. Hell, I flag this shit coming thru the portal. It's right in the rules this is crap Flash and not welcome on NG.

But, like you, I say vote how you feel. If you just 'love' a pokemon picture and think it, as a Flash, deserves a 0,1,2,3,4,5 then vote accordingly. Don't vote how you THINK people will vote. I personally can't tell you how many times I've hit '0' and seen that it passed or that I've hit a 3,4, or 5 and it was blammed on me.

But, oh well. I gave it what it deserved from my perspective.

That's a lot of OT. But at least you get to go around to different parts of the country and see all these awesome sites.
I do some travel in the US, but most is abroad. I was in Germany for 5 weeks from May to June. It freaking rained almost the whole time, I kid you not. I'd say about 70% of the time I was tehre Other places I'd go is China, Singapore and Korea. Others as well, but those are the big ones.

That's pretty cool. You travel the world on the company dime, and you make a lot, so while you're over there, you can buy all this nice shit for cheap.

Basically, I test these huge-ass machines that make computer microchips on silicon wafers. Then we sell them to companies that use them aka Intel, AMD, Texas Instruments, Samsung, etc.
That's pretty cool. So you make my computer run, my calculator calculate, and my TV work. Or you test the machine that makes all that stuff work.
Yep, I test it. Each one takes about 4-8 weeks to fully test, then it gets shipped to be installed and that takes 3-6 weeks of Final Test.

Which do you do? And you test it for the whole 8 weeks? It must get boring after a while.

It's a rusty crowbar for God sakes!
Well, it's not so much that it's the crowbar as it is that is ISN'T that sucky pipe. I've dreaded having that before I ever had it, then I got it. I hated it! That's why I didn't even make a sig with it in it.

I hated the boxing glove at LVL 10 (?). It sucked. It was too weak for such a high level. And I never noticed that you made a sig for each level. I feel that's a waste of time, especially if you level up relatively quickly, or you want a fad sig.

I'd much rather have a switchblade (LVL 26), or the machete (LVL 30). And those are only for the levels I'm going to get in the next couple of months. I'd love to have at least the golden glove (LVL 47), if I could choose.
The gloves are all-around sexy. I'm not a huge fan of the switchblade, though. It's ok, not my fav.

But in the level 20's, I'd like ot have those two.

My FAVS are probably the chainsaw (LVL 39) and that Bone Clever (LVL 40). The sickle is also sick at LVL 45. That golden skull mace at LVL 56 is pretty awesome, but will I ever see that? Maybe. BIG Maybe.

Those are pretty good, but I like the Golden Chainsaw (too lazy to look up level, but it's in the 50's) over the regular one.

Mmmmm.... crowbar....
Mmmmmm..... crowbar to your face....
=(
If you want I can put something else in your face :)
What do you have to offer?

My peNor 8===================D

Wait until I have a pipe wrench.
I'll have it first (3 days).
And you'll be sexier for it.

Now only 2 days.

Know this: Until I get it I will be somewhat jealous of you.

Somewhat.

Don't worry, a lot of people are jealous of me.

Look, I know you're excited to be moving up levels really fast compared to the old days, and you're excited to be able to be a level 20+, but most of us in the Barracks are at or above your level, and we're moving at the same pace as you.
Yup, most are ahead of me, but that doesn't make me feel like crap or anything or make me feel less "accomplished". Nope, I enjoy my newness wen I get it regardless.

I was just trying ot say that most have the crowbar, or are past the crowbar and prefer their new, better weaponry.

I'm sorry I freaked out at you.
I didn't know you were tweaking out. But now I know, so I'll have to cast a spell on you. A neg level spell. HA! That would be rich!

That would be fun. But it already happened to Phantom; if you got back a page, he got a message saying he was -5 points away from his next level.

In other news, I've been going to the driving range the last few weeks almost every day at lunch which is at 8:30 or 9:00pm for me) at work. I think I found my swing yesterday. I was averaging 250 or so yards. This all with the rental club.

Nice, although I can drive it over 300 yards. Loljk. I don't practice golf, although I have played a chip and put course. I have to say, golf is more fun to play than to watch.

PGA Tour, here I come!

Good luck. Now you need to work on your put, and you can beat Tiger.

Also, I seem to have noticed that the UJ submissions finally darken after you click on them. Now I can b/p with ease once again.

It's not fixed for me. It could just be my computer.

Speaking of which, has anyone noticed the site "blinking"? Like, you'll click the flash portal and you'll get a messages saying that the server is busy, yet it's 1:30 in the morning.

And sorry for the double; I meant for this to be part of the other post, but I forgot to add it.

Piss off already. God dammit I am scared now. Your getting so close to me and I cant do much about it.

The new portal is annoying. There are barely any UJ submissions and even if there are they get through so much quicker you have to be on 24 7 to get 100 points per day.

DOES ANYONE ELSE STRUGGLE TO REACH THERE PRE-UPDATE B/P AVERAGES, THANKS TO THE REDESIGN?

Well, not like I was ever a crazy B/P'er, but I've sat here all day the other day and got like 60 or so. That was like, sitting here and checking it constantly.

I don't know what's up with the speed anymore, either. They say they have 200 votes when they get thru, but do they, really? Is there some mix up?

How the hell does it go so fast RIGHT after redesign? It's not like the portal is on the Front Page now, there's just a link like there's always been.
