I'm not teaching much anyway, just what a simple tutorial would teach you if you took your time to read for as much as two hours. But well, i get paid for teaching lazy people :P

It does feel great, though. :D

Can someone please explain how old 10th graders are supposed to be?

Long story about that I don't really feel like talking about. It worked out in the end but there were some bumps along the way.

I want last ban :(

Something wrong with Armor Games..? I wouldn't know...

Fuck, well my CS3 idea may have been wrong. The fucked up part is it doesn't list the errors anywhere, it just says errors encountry when trying to download Flash CS3, plus it gets through most, downloads the Flash's 'Shared Components', and then the second that's done, it gets butt-raped and gives me the error. It's annoying as shit, and does anyone know what the issue is? The first time it was that I didn't have AccessKey or whatever, but I DLed that too, so now what could it be? By the way, it's about half way through 'Disk 3 of 3' this happens.

QUT Students?
Any regs here from the Queensland University of Technology? I'm sure there would be. If you are say hi.

I wonder if I'm still considered a reg, I used to be on the NG forums everyday... But then I stopped and now I'm back.

More kind words about Newgrounds from our friends at SomethingAwful
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/lea rn-to-hate.php
So for those unaware, SomethingAwful have a pound of sand in their vaginas about Newgrounds for reasons even they can't properly convey. It is by far the least of a million evils, but as they inadvertently confess in the article, they pretty much hate things for being popular. Maybe it was meant to be tongue in cheek, but it's just true. As a disclaimer, I read SomethingAwful for its funny moments (Flash Tub, Fashion Swat... etc?), but much like Maddox, they've really hated their way into a corner, creating an incredibly narrow breed of humor that causes a lot of repetition and tedium they could do without.

But what do YOU think? :O

Urgh I really hated that, there just nit picking and working on the fact that behemoth are a small company and no one is allowed to make any mistakes. Also that thing about CC being just like turtles in time is bullshit, just cos its got beat em up elements its a copy

Today is friday, anyone doing anything fun this weekend? :)

btw i deleted all the posts regarding my situation. I dont feel like having to drag that on for pages. If it happens it happens if it doesnt it doesnt. Move onnnnn. And regardless of me being a mod or not ill still do art contests, ill still make collabs, ill still arrange meetups, ng booths etc. I'd like to be more like mike who plays a heavy role on the site and doesnt need all that extra fluff and power trip to feel important. Anywho, it may cause more swirl and drama to actually demod myself and i dont really feel like being an extra thorn on wade/toms side so if it comes to it being a bad idea then ill just let it be. I'll just ignore actual moderating for the most part.. much like a jmtb, damn where is that dude?

If you want immature, hate-centred humour then Charlie Brooker's columns are a lot more entertaining. I'm addicted to the guy :P I can't wait for his next Screen Wipe series.

His rant about David Cameron is way up there, but I love his ones about silly stuff like spiders and tonsillitis :)

David Cameron is an idiot. A simpering, say-anything, dough-faced, preposterous waddling idiot with a feeble, insincere voice and an irritating tendency to squat near the top of opinion polls. I don't like him. And I've got a terrible feeling he'll be prime minister one day. Brrr.

These are unthinking snap judgments, based on little more than his media profile - but since he appears to consist of little more than a media profile designed to appeal to unthinking snap judgments, that seems fair enough. On that basis, let's stick to gut instincts, shall we?

There is nothing to him. He is like a hollow Easter egg with no bag of sweets inside. Cameron will say absolutely anything if he thinks it might get him elected. If a shock poll was published saying 99% of the British public were enthusiastic paedophiles, he would drive through the streets in an open-top bus surrounded by the Mini Pops. He's nothing. He's no one.

It's notoriously tricky to find out much about his past, in the same way that Morgan Freeman and Brad Pitt found it tricky to find out much about the serial killer John Doe in the movie Se7en. He'd managed to erase his entire existence, even slicing the skin off his fingers to avoid leaving prints. Ever seen a close-up of Cameron's fingertips? Of course not. Think about it.

A lot of what they say is true, but it's all the superficial stuff that almost any passerby could pick out and harp on. There's no real depth to what they're saying and thus they miss the positive stuff about hard work, creativity, talent, and dedication that's also hidden a level beyond their surface scans and rumors. Sometimes it's so easy to hate something successful that has minor flaws just because of the flaws when, for many people, the rawness and crudeness are what's refreshing and provide hope that you don't have to be perfect or have a million dollars to achieve success.

It's ok to have beefs with something, but to dismiss everything that's positive outside those beefs BECAUSE of the beefs makes you look ignorant and jealous.

So whos got a madness submission coming up?

Hi BoMToons and NegativeOne.

I agree. The author is just stirring up e-drama. It just feels like site propaganda to reassure users their loyalty to their own site is legitimate.

Hi Luis.

I've had a busy Summer. I've been in and out for the past few weeks between conferences, conventions, etc. and I've been pushing myself as usual to get everything in order.

Hi everyone else.

Like I addressed to Luis I've had a busy Summer. I was just at PAX last weekend and the weekend before that at Casual Connect in Seattle. And before that people from Europe came to visit and that was fun too... just a busy August. Things will settle down though. I'm leaving next week for the Caribbean with my girlfriend. It's our five year anniversary on that trip.

I was extending my post and just wanted to blurt it out for cheap e-rep. Also by saying that your trying to show off to your e-friends. Since we can't agree lets agree to disagree and not bother conversing with each other. Deal or no deal?

Good to hear that you are still around, it will be good to have you back once you've sorted out your stuff. :). Have a happy holiday/anniversary.

Weekend

I'm off doing my DofE expedition, in the pouring rain, with people i don't know, so that should be fun :(.

SomethingAwful

All they do is complain and make up pointless slander, which is completely unfounded about every single site they can find. As you said, there site is based upon the critisism of others, a very boring, very annoying way of keeping a site alive.

First day at college

(College here is 16-18 btw, I know in other places its our University)

Short story: Twas a pretty alright day and I can see my time at college is gonna be alright.

Long story:

*MOST BORING BIT* So got up at 6.30am just to get to college on time which really pisses me off as I have to get to train station 20mins early or so just to beat the fucking queues for train tickets. Won't be so bad when I've got my season pass, I suppose. This wasn't really a major point of the day, it just fucks me off.

First lesson was History. Twas okay. All we really did was talk about the word 'revolution' and differences to revolt etc which wasn't particularly fascinating but it was better than it sounds. And got to know some people in that class which was cool.

Then had computing. I was prepared for it to be dull seeing as I already do quite a lot of programming but not this dull. We had to write a simple PASCAL program, with a sheet which has the code on it, involving only output then one that involved input too. Then we had to make How fun? Then the teacher and the whole class still managed to fuck it up and didn't realise you had to save before you could compile and run the program. So I had to save the whole class, and the teacher, and tell them. *sigh* I'm hoping it shouldn't be too bad though because I finished it within a few minutes and he just said do pretty much whatever, but there was only 5mins left, as we had to fill out a form first, so I didn't bother doing anything. But in future hopefully I can get on here or muck around in Flash.

Next up was further maths. This was pretty boring as we didn't do anything but I'm worried about my teachers sanity. She makes you set everything out EXACTLY how she wants it and then well... to sum it up "Give the boy a banana" is one of her sayings.

Finally had physics, just your ordinary lesson really nothing too amazing.

</end long story>

How have your days been? :)
Anything planned for the weekend?

Nothing for me; looks like its gonna piss down with rain for next few days.

Me too. But he clearly doesn't want to explain it on here, seeing as he's deleted the posts. Someone PM me what (If Luis doesn't mind)?

Now, all this talk of school etc is getting boring. Anyone done anything sexy in flash recently? PRINT SCREENS AND DEMOS PLZ.

We used to have one further maths lesson a week, an shipped in a maganerd from Lancaster to teach us. He used to call us peasants :/

haha. I have 10 a week :|
I suppose i don't have it that bad then :P

Also forgot to say, i quit my job. So if anyone wants to team up for teh flashes then PM me or something :)

I'm doing DofE as well Dep :D Just not this weekend.

Amazing in flash huh? Well no... I plan to take a break until me and a team of French people resume work on this game we're working on (November-December.) I would post screenshots but the leading guy doesn't want us to. I must say it's looking nice though.

I'm considering, after finishing off the projects I'm in the process of doing, in focusing working with ZuiGe for his site ZuiGe.net :D I already have joined his team but at the minute I haven't had the time to create anything for the site.

I'm not allowed to complain about SA. Goons have my phone number and my first born held hostage.
