Mwmike:" Lol your mam is teh stupidzorz!" (Getting some practice with retard speak for a few pages time.) Just joing :D

Toxic: Works fine for me. If you can get it working order a few shirts. Get me some profit :D

Dead pixels: I had one on my old laptop which broke and had all my files on it. My friend threw a piece of plastic and it died. I was like "oh you've done it now boy >:(" but I didn't care knowing that 1 pixel wouldn't really affect me as it only showed up on a black or blue screen.

Ill: I'm even more ill so this will probably be my only post of the day. I can barely talk so I might just lie in bed and read some kind of book or something.

I don't habitually save however I am doing it more regularly. I certainly wouldn't type for an hour and a half without saving anything. Its easier to get in to the habit of saving constantly though, like Citric was saying, if you actually do have the occasional crash. I very rarely lose anything so never get into the tapping ctrl + s thing.

Saving a word doc/notepad or whatever isn't as bad as when you spend 4 hours in flash making the coolest scene EVER when it decides to crash on you and you're sitting there going "FUUUCKKK!!"

This is gonna sound gay... But I was drawing a hardcore badass egg, with an AK-47 and I was 2 seconds from saving when flash shit out on me. The egg took me like 45 minutes to get perfect.

It was a traumatizing experience...

If you don't save at all during 4 hours of work, you deserve it, I usually don't go 30 seconds without saving. You're crazy if you go more than 10 minutes without saving.

I save often, but not religiously. Sometimes I'll go over an hour without saving, but when I'm working on something properly I save after any important additions/changes.

Ill save when im done with flash :/ or having a break.. which is pretty bad but i havent been unlucky yet :)

I think I save about every 5 to 10 seconds. When I'm working on Flash I also back-up my files every hour.

Wow that actually fixed it! Thanks alot!

Denvah

I just got back from Denver, it was pretty awesome. We stayed in a 2 story hotel room which was awesome.

Then we went to the Broncoes/Saints game. We sat by this kinda douchish dude who got way to into the game.

Yeah, I know, I'm descriptive right?

ah shit..

I'm giving you an evil squinty eye right now, i dun DESERVE it, unless you're saying its in flash's programming to crash. Honestly i usually save around once an hour and i'm perfectly fine, its once every ... 2 months..ish? that it would actually crash, in which case its because i have something downloading, music, flash, photoshop, msn, maybe converting some files or something, all at the same time. running my comp at max.

Flash Crash

I wish I could get into the mindset of systematically saving every couple of seconds. But, when I get in the zone of animating and I'm doing something that looks awesome or is super detailed and super intense, I find it so irritating to break concentration. You'd think hitting two keys wouldn't distract me...but I guess it does.

AUTOSAVE ADDON UGHHUNKUNKUNKUNK

MADNESS DAY

Happy Madness day guysss. I haven't seen anything good except Duders, that other guy who posted his link in here, and Mindchamber/Fulpinators. Plz link good ones...

V-cam
I plan on making a flash but it involve using a v-cam, i've heard there have been better v-cams developed since the first adamphilips one, so i was wondering, any of you know about any of this v-cams? how sould i search for wichever v-cam is the 'best' right now? etc.. :)

careers
Say I want to be a professional animator, what should I study? Graphics Designer?

flash bugs
Has it ever happened to you that you click on some are to fill it one color, and at the same time other area fills with an unrelated color? It happens to me constantly and its annoying...

:)

Starting A New Game

I'm starting a game, which will be my first flash thing I'll put effort in. I'm hilariously ashamed of my games story, so Jesus comes back for his 2nd coming and Judas is still alive. So, expectedly, Jesus is kind of pissed, so he has to fight off Judas' Jew army (I'm sorry) who all have the stereotypical big noses and are wearing cloaks. Jesus progresses and eventually comes across guns. He fights off the gun toting Jews and their small to massive bosses in an epic struggle to get to Judas to finally take his vengeance.

Unless you find a specific degree FOR animation, then I recommend a general degree in fine arts, what I'm going for. That's probably the most requested degree from animation companies.

Madness Day

Kinda lackluster for me, Zekey's probably my favorite just because he broke the formula. Sooo many clones this year.

I agree with BOTH of those statements. yay!

I'm pursuing animation for a career. and i dun really care about madness much anyways, so i didn't watch any.. i just kinda sat around and played spore- i mean... uh... made exile..

:(

just spent another large block of money to upgrade my CS4 suite

now I have no money for food :(

Damn you adobe!!!

Bwuahaha. I'm sure it'll be worth it. You said in the CS4 thread that you didn't know what Soundbooth was, I cba replying to that thread AS WELL, I used it in college it's similar to Audacity but you know.. all the gloss that you get with an adobe program :P

Heres my wall of text for today.

Cheers man! Unfortunately, my wireless isn't working, so I don't get internet yet.
But I will try it when the wireless is up again, thanks!

I dunno, I guess RyanPridgeon's right. The better you get, the better you want.
But I love my computer so much, I don't want something better atm.
I reckon I've gotten over it. I just like dark themes and wallpapers, but meh.

Also, the games are kickass. <3

HOLY. FUCK. That has happened to me SOOOO many times.
One time, I did all the movieclips I needed for that scene, just finished the background and all its little details, and then flash fucking crashed.

I just sat there for ages swearing at my computer.

Lucky for me, I live in Adelaide. And UNISA do a degree purely in animation :D
Only problem is, its quite a drive from my house. And because I'm lazy, I haven't got my L's yet.
Public transport as usual, I guess.

Yeah, happens to me a bit.
I colour something, and one part of the drawing becomes black.
Sometimes it goes unnoticed for a while, and I have to go over it, retrace the outline etc.

Stupid Maths Teacher
We got told our reports today, and also got our recent tests and stuff back.

I got an A on my big project, and a B+ on my latest test.

Then I got my report for Maths.
C.

I was pretty pissed off. I asked the teacher about my grade, and she said "oh, well it was only based on one test. I did the reports earlier on in the term, to save time."
WHAT THE FUCK!
The only test I didn't study for, and my grade is marked on that.
Bloody stupid.

DIY Teddy Troopers
I love this idea. I didn't really hear anything about the Munny contest, except the winners.
I love vinyl toys and such, and collecting nic-nac kinda things.
Also, I draw on most of my stuff.
Only problem is, I can't paint. But I'm gonna try.
What do you guys think about it?

People stop ranting so much...and keep your rants shorter...

Audacity has never let me down. Basic fixes call for a basic program, I don't feel the need to boot up the mBox to slice up a sound file.

Is there a trial for any of them? I'd like to try out cs4s new features before i spend a bucket load of cash on it. Is it worth it glaiel?

I prefer goldwave, more options and still free. Audacity is too simple for more complex things.

the pre-order doesnt ship till mid october, the trial doesnt pop in till november.

I like being current with my adobe suites.

CS4: I'll probably get it. :) I skipped CS3 but I think I may as well upgrade. Problem is I have no intention of learning AS3 so it could be a waste of money. Meh whatever I can afford it with ease. (I love you sometimes exchange rate.)

Saving: I save randomly whenever I remember. I don't lose flash as it's only crashed once and that was just because I scribbled so much. I have lost blender files and BBS posts ever once in a while though.

Maths: I'm top of the class and got 139/150 in my SAT's. There is a gifted set with 8 people in it. I came joint third with two others in the gifted. (I'm not in gifted.) Therefore only 1/4 of the gifted class beat me. Now explain how they are gifted?!? (One got 149/150 and the other got 142/150 so they ARE gifted. Still not moving up though as apparently now I'm too far behind?!?

Essays: I must shoot my English teacher. She gives us an essay every month. Enough said : /

N.B Speaking of which I should probably get on that since it's in for Thursday : /

Hmm, madness day is filled with madness clones, novel! It's sad to me how much people still completely love madness clones though, and original stuff like Madness Bar Brawl get such low scores, 3.8, that's ridiculous. Ok maybe it's not "original" but the animation is original, it's not a madness clone for sure. In fact one reviewer gave it a 3 and said "not to creative" wtf???

Also, Tom's game was swell, I've already played it three times.
