Clock Day
Happy Clock Day 2008 everyone! Anyone making any Clock-themed animations or games of particular interest?

Nah, it wasn't really announced much this year. I find it kinda funny that they just used the side banners from last year. :P

It's clock day! I was going to start making mine today. I thought we had at least a month.

Nice. I still need to get myself a laptop, my brother and sister have each got one, but my sis doesn't have a computer anyway, so that's fair enough, and my bro is starting uni.

Blackfang, if you prefer Macs you should probably buy a mac.

I've just bought a new Sony Vaio NR21 for university. It has 2.1 ghz processor, 3 gb ram and a GeForce 8400M GT graphics card - all for £550! Methinks that it's quite a buy, but I know shit about computers. Someone cement my optimism, please.

kl thats pretty cheap probs got it on internet, not many people buy in store now, macs dont have the compatibility of windows so most people stay away but macs are ideal for the stuff we do!

I forsee the group totally disappearing by 2010.

It's kind of sad. Who wants to stage a revival?

I don't mean just for Clock Day, either. There's lots of talent here - we're perfectly equipped to make some alts and create some high-quality clock related Flash which gets easily through the portal on a normal day through its own merit.

Save data

Any coders know what software's good for editing save data in games? For debugging purposes, obviously. It's annoying having to go the long way around to view and change your data when you're testing something, especially when you've got inventories and stuff you need to edit to properly test.

I agree. Even just 3 years ago this place was much better. Much more old time regs are leaving because of the crazy amount of retards, and that unbalances the retard:reg population. It's a vicious circle. We'll keep spiralling down, though, since we have respectable admins, we won't ever reach a low level like 4chan. One thing is for sure though, I'm not leaving.

I'll be bored otherwise D=

Haha, it's nice to see a new generation becoming nostalgic.

The previous years always looked better for regs. It's no different now than it was back when we were upset about flashregs.net fading into obscurity, or before that when Luis still had the novelty of being a level one mod on a banning spree, or even before that when Rantzien was revealed to be a Swedish female cat, or back when the lovable bitch fights between Ninja-Chicken and Toast were in full swing and newer regs like me stepped in for comedy value and avoided taking sides, or before that when Denvish and to a lesser extent Liam and Inglor were the father figures for newer artists.

Come to that, Inglor and co probably complained about regs from their generation fading away too.

I'm sure Toast can appreciate this, even though in my mind he's just a bairn. It's a bit weird - back when we used to think of him as the cute little twelve year old expert on variables tutorials, a lot of us were younger than he is now :/

Anyway, long story short - the grass always looks a lot greener on whichever side of the hill you just came from.

I remember when Liam used to kill people with action script and for some time all the programing regs were doing that...

RE: Nostalgia

I never really liked nostalgia in regards to this forum or the internet in general. I think its natural human nature to paint any internet nostalgia as this made-up golden age. In a few years this will be the new golden age... when regs were responsible, children ate their vegetables, things were fun, collabs were interesting, etc etc.

Its all a mirage. We had just as many complaints and ugly parts when denvish was around and that golden age as we do now.. maybe they were different kinds of ugly parts but they were definately there. Things are always changing even when you think they arent. :)

I searched through the damn last fifty pages of your post doing Ctrl+F > Flash, you jackass. Then you prance in and do it...Happy Kirk?

Clockday
Ugh, I'm missing out on the 'free saves', 'free high-scoring submissions', etc. day. I'm over at some friends house and they have wireless, but I'm have lots more fun over here doing random things than I would be making spam flash to raise my BA. Damn you Newgrounds and your bad timing.

I'm not doing anything because I need to join clockcrew.cc to get the preloader >:(

I know that it always seems like the older generations were a lot better and more fun but seriously I think there's some truth to it. Just look at the times when flash regs used to make multiplayer flash games, and everyone was building new uber sites and everyone had nice flash games. Even if not everything worked out as we wanted it to, it was still fucking good. In 2006 I finished 2 flash games that didn't score so well, and built a website with a small team that was considered not very good at the time. However, I still got from it millions of hits and dozen thousands unique visitors before it fell apart. What did I do in 2007? started a few projects that were never finished. 2008? finished a 50 lines bot for AS wars. in 2005-2006, every day was productivity day.

And yeah I'm not ranting about how cool it was when inglor was here, I'm comparing the facts.

and paranoia, what do you mean im a brain? :C

I am not using cybex because its been hacked again or something and the email address related to it isn't mine so i can't get my password back, and I am spamming the forums because I am getting bored of my 3 months Summer holiday and I've forgotten how to newgrounds properly.

Anyway, I'm not staying, just going to lurk for a while until i get something to do like a job or uni or something.

nah, it was fun while it lasted, but i never really had the pascience for websites. Plus I can't be bothered to get back into flash again.

PM tom? We all know you're cybex so he should be able to get it back for you seeing as you're an ex-reg etc.

Aye, that's kinda what I was saying in a poorly explained kind of way.

Actually, I think a lot of it is to do with just being around for a while. Back when we all started getting into the community, it was this massive, golden pool of creativity that we were all privileged to be a part of. It still is, but having been here for several years I guess a lot of us start to take it for granted :/

you must admit there's a big difference in terms of productivity and activity between the regs. Sure, we do have an AS war from times to times, but it doesn't match the endless flash debates, AS quizz threads, AS wars, AS arenas, art showcase threads, and all this kind of things. I think it's not false to say that there was more active people in the inglor times. You could hit refresh every 20 seconds to see someone replying to your posts, here I just find myself refreshing for hours before giving up. No offense to the new regs, but I also think that there were a lot more regs that were extremely good at programming in 2006/05.

Classic Games

Funny how someone brought that up, I just recently started playing Doom again, it's really hard but more fun than some games today :P

To all those who are complaining about lack of productivity, maybe it would help if we talked more about flash :/

AS3 Transition

So how many people have made the shift from AS2 to AS3? AS3 Main has been so empty, why is everybody holding back?
