Just saw Wanted...
Seriously, it was a whole load better than I was expecting. From the trailers I thought it was just going to be your average badly scripted action film with loads of exploitative sex/car scenes slapped in to rope in as much of the audience as possible, but it was a pretty good film. They decided to abandon all pretence and shove the laws of physics right out of the window, which you don't usually see in Western films, and a load of the direction was pure genius. Plus, the usually boring pre- and post- action segments were great to watch. It's like the good parts from the Matrix films shagged 'Fight Club' and gave birth to a mutant offspring.
It could have done with a little less shaky camera work, and a bigger part for that weasel faced guy who played Foy in 'State of Play', but you can't have everything.
All in all, four out of five thumbs up. Highlight: Having a guy get owned with a keyboard and having the keys and a lost tooth spell out "FUCK YOU" in mid-air.
Wanted
I really need to go and see that movie, it looks even more over the top than Shoot 'em Up, which was great. I totally recommend In Bruge by the way. I saw that film a couple of weeks ago and I think it's brilliant, good plot, great dialogs, good scripting and it isn't your typical Huge ass Hollywood hyped blockbuster.
WANTED!
Haven't seen it yet, but now I got the Bon Jovi song Wanted Dead or Alive in my head now.
It's a sweet song.
I was bored and just noticed that tomorrows National Mullet Day. DING
Theirs lots of stuff happenin this month actually.

Hey hey everyone, I just released a new game an hour or two ago, thought you guys would like to stop by and show it some love. Thanks again to all the beta testers, you know who you are :)
It's my first solo project in years, basically my first solo project since I really got to know what I was doing with flash. Anyway, check it out Here if you want, I'll love you forever if you submit it to the puzzle games section.
Wow, this is almost identical to my current project, oh well time to move on. :/
Great game though, well done.

Omg I love you Coolio, does anyone know how much it will be? I dun got a 360 so I was thinking if it would be worth giving him like 5 bucks so he'd buy it on his system

When you buy it, don't forget to watch the credits and be jealous of me, luis, and bom :D

God of war 3
Kingdom Hearts 3
Final Fantasy 13

Yeah for some games. Such as Team Fortress 2. Screw Valve for not making these awesome updates for PS3.

I'm starting to fall in love with being able to download old PS1 games for three quid too. Just completed Syphon Filter, and it's hard as hell.
I hope they expand the store a bit...
Oh boy, Castle Crashers is right around the bend, so to speak. Yet another thing to keep me from doing anything productive.
And I like it. :]

Yeah they all look really good, as soon as I get some money together I'm gonna get Syphon Filter and MediEvil. And possible Judge Dredd as well. So far I've just been downloading PS3 demos (Civ Revolution is crap!).
I hope they expand the store a bit...
Well are these classics are coming out soon*

It's annoying how few of those you can get in Europe. I mean, how hard can it be to sort out a Japan or US title for European systems? Fiddle about with a couple of display and frame rate settings and you're reet.
I want my Crash Bandicoot games :(

I think it's pretty obvious that I didn't.
curse PS3's non-self-explanatory nature

Namco Museums, nice... remakes of the remakes.
We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.
I'm Using Flash For a Year!
Celebration! I've discovered Macromedia Flash 8 a year ago, when my friend convinced me it was an awesome program for a fun hobby. And he was right!
I remember the time when tweens looked hard to do. I started out by following tutorials and asking advice from my friends. Right now I feel like a got the basics down, I can do FBF, tween without it looking unnaturally and I can even script a little.
So Newgrounds Flash Regs, how long have you been using Flash and how did you first heard of it?

It's been about 6 years now. By luck my dad came into the program at some computer thing, it was six years ago, I don't remember the details. Anyways, I believe it was MX I started out with. He thought I'd like it because at the time I was into animation. When I figured out I couldn't draw for crap I started learning Actionscript. Eventually I managed to score MX 2004 through school (I kinda stole it from my computer teacher, but shit, he wasn't using it :3). From there I played around with the program some more until Flash 8 came out. I downloaded the trial, loved AS2, and bought it on my first credit card, hahaha. Now I've just been coasting, waiting until I can upgrade to CS3. I'm pretty excited because I think the time will come after this next semester. The college I'm at will most likely give licensed versions to the students of the class. So, I'll get it for free already knowing how to use it, so it'll cut the time i'll need before I start developing. So, yay!
Four years, but most of that was very on and off.

I have consoles (not next-gen) cuz I <3 computers.
Still I would easily pay 20$ (which will be less than what it is sold for on XBLA) for this game on the internet.
Ah well, it's their choice.
