Yea sorta.. but you have to be working on it that day. Like you could be like well im working on this engine and today i worked on this sprite.. <link> it doesnt have to be like anything elaborate..we're just trying to jumpstart people ...

you *could* hypothetically just plug shit youre not even working on but you are cheating the concept of the idea and you wont really get anything out of it.

Oh once you've posted a link to something youre working on .. youre welcome to comment on other peoples stuff, you dont have to like come up with a link everytime you post... unless youre just that damn productive :P

Yes but this is newgrounds.. we have to lower our standards a bit. :)

even if one day every year was 'do something productive' it would be a good start for me lol

lmao.

lol

you can use the flash showcase thread if you got something productive that you really want to show. I didn't bother bumping it and shit because I figured you people could post in it when you got something to show, not just when you see it on first page on flash forum.

The only bad thing about territory war is that you can't do a rematch or an ad stays on your screen.

I'm trying to get in to the exact same mentality. I do the same thing as well. Have Flash open, but then drift off and check out some other website or go do something else. It stinks.

Also, it'll be cool tomorrow to see what everyone's working on, and everyone should theoretically be productive :P

A day where you dont post in here unless you've done something flash related that day, that you want to share.

Maybe I'll hold off submitting the thing I made till tomorrow then. :P

Time to add secrets!

As shall i ;). This ought to be good, why not say that for ever piece you post you have to give some advice to someone elses work? That should add more to the productivity :D.

That shouldn't have to be a 'rule' really, it's more a kind of thing everyone should do automatically.

ELSE YOU'RE ALL ASSHOLES!

You should know that by now ;D

SHIT! Why do I always choose the wrong day to be productive. I've been fucking excessively productive today, well, in everything except Flash so far. I finished my 500 page book, cleaned my room, and finished my sketchbook tour piece. I guess now this'll make me just feel a bit better, because I haven't done something in Flash in a good 24 hours...

Lol i'm one of the only people to have done something productive. =)

Today I found I've made some progress. I have got into the habit of coming here less so that's one less distraction under my noes. Although I still found my focus slipping. Working with a time limit has helped me. One hour ago I thought, right, one hour - lets get some done. I've got two more frames finished (actually more work than it sounds) so am happy for that. It helped setting myself a time frame and I will do this tomorrow aswell.

Treat it like a job. The plus being it's a job you love -- and if not, atleast it can be a job that's not as bad as others (working in Tescoes for example..)

Yeah, should do. I've come to find that this forum isn't the best place for feedback. I posted something in Toast's thread but the next two replies were not in response. Infact I myself only bothered to check two things in the thread and didn't give feedback on them. The artist showcase thread is a good one.

That's your problem right there. I have a PS3 with many games and online (well, it's my brothers) and I've played on it about twice since the beginning of holidays, it ruins my creativity, I get addicted easily.

gaming ruins flash? no shit. i've been playing wow for 2 years. now take a guess why my last submission was in 2006.

but i don't really care because im the best paladin of my battlegroup. har har

Damn that ad. Damn it to hell!

And I must agree with Mogly that here isn't a whole lot of feedback going on in this thread, most of the time, It really depends on the user showcasing the work. I must admit that I'm also part of that problem because I sometimes can't be arsed to reply to people asking for feedback (make that most of the time). So from now on I'll better myself and give more feedback to the people asking for it.

Also 20 minutes left till the fifth here, so this is my last non constructive, non progress showing, non feedback giving post for a whole day.

Hmm WoW bores me :) Lets talk about something else!

Are you even gonna buy that? I stopped playing in the start of my vacations and I don't think im gonna play again because wotlk looks so shit. I mean just look at all the talents... The more patches they make, the more uber stuff we get, the more easy it is to be successful as a noob. Soon you won't need any skill to kill anyone, it will all be about who pops his uber spells first and who's spells miss or crit.

my guild name sums up WoW gameplay (and pvp on high level) pretty well: RNGaming - Random Number Generator gaming. RNG was used by players who played wow for a long time, after a while you get to a certain level where you pretty much know everything about the game and can't really get better. at that point RNG is the only thing that matters.

Aye, the talent lists annoyed me too. I mean, two two-handed weapons? Ok, sure, it sounds cool, but isn't that all a little too much?

Still, instances and general scenery always improve with expansions, and I always like games with bloody nice looking surroundings and impressively integrated soundtracks.

On a side note, I've been levelling a lock for a while, and everything that everyone says about them being overpowered is true. I'm half way through my Outland levelling, have a spec completely based towards consistent farming and reducing downtime, and still I can take down most classes around four levels above me, outdamage (and underthreat) everyone else in instances (even peeps a couple of levels my superior), and look damn cool while doing it.

The only reason I can think of why locks don't rule the universe is because most of them don't know how to play their class properly. I actually saw one riding around with full health and under half mana today. Hahaha.

Ahaha...I think that might be funnier if I played WoW and knew what was so outrageous about that.

Since Luis wants us to turn this into a front page discussion I'm going to try...

I just beat Intrusion. It is a fun game and I wasted a lot of time playing it, which is good because I don't have anything to do. It really brings back the feel of Metal Slug and is just an amazing game. The other games on the front page aren't so great, like Orange Runner, (no offense K-Guare) Mindfeed, and Totally Calum Best. I think too many people are just 5ing things to get there 5 votes of the day. They don't play the game or anything.

The front page kinda fails right now.

On a side note, so tomorrow, no posting until we show something productive eh? Well what if the person just posts on here w/o knowing?
