I connected with someone yesterday morning...

...and she hit the ground

You see, I was on the 61C (a double length one), and as we were stopped at a light about to turn on to Fifth in Oakland, I saw the 500 (my next desired bus) getting in front of the my bus. Well luckily enough, it both buses got stopped at the next light and I exited from the back door and started to run between parked cars and the buses to the 500's door. Take note that as I looked to the front of the bus before I got off, I saw no others getting ready to exit.

So I'm running, I'm running, I'm running...

BAM!

Right as I get to the front door of the 61C, this poor little girl steps off the bus and I full on tackle her. She was dazed and I was shocked. I looked down and asked if she was alright. All she said was, "Yeah, go." And in the heat of the moment, I dashed over to the 500. Though I did look back and saw other people assisting her (thanks to those kind souls!).

So that was funny and heartbreaking all at the same time.

In other news, we should all stop making flash. Someone's perfected the art, as seen here.

Have a good one!

Digital cameras are a major risk on nights out. Literally in about 95% of the photos of me on facebook I'm completely smashed.

True dat on both those counts. I was embarassed that time i had my birthday over in London. I do blame Kirk for that actually but i never intend to get that drunk again. I wasnt violent, but i did get my ass booted out of the pub, and i started throwing money around. Im still embarassed about it cuase its totally not how i am or want people to remember me as lmao.

Im a fairly quiet, mellow person and being older than most people i like to show a bit of class and maturity. kind of.... maybe... ok once in a blue moon.

I'll see you January, sailor.

There's nothing wrong with cider, you racists.

I'm also a bit confused, though I remember all of what happened last night, but that adds to the confusion quite a bit. I'm aching all over (possibly dancing? but I didn't dance that much) and I feel like I bruised my chest, but theres no physical marks.. so I feel like I had a fight, but I know I didn't. Unless it was in my halls, I can barely remember anything after leaving my mates halls at 4:30am but that's 2 minutes from my halls so I'm sure I didn't do anything there.

Now I'm fucking hungry and I don't wanna get a takeaway cos I have had takeaway all week, partly because I've been out pretty much all week but also because I have no food in. Btw Keith, you were right about GiGis. Fucking-A :P

Oh and amazing hardcore song, Crank That- I Set My Friends On Fire if anyone cares.

It's one of their better songs, with pray for plagues, tell slater not to wash his dick, rawwwrr.
I don't like all of their songs though and also think they're pretty over-rated. Mostly because its what wannabe fags listen to. Same goes for crank dat cover.

Anyone know of any decent sites like Root this box seeing as its unconviently down. I've learnt a shit load of security stuff over the last week and its hot. I've completed a hell of a lot of challenges on hellboundhackers.org with minimal hints. I've had to use 1 or 2, just to nudge me in the right direction. Any of you guys have a HBH account?

I had a HBH account for the challenges, it's pretty cool. That was about 2 years ago.. forgot the login and don't really mind :P

I need money .. :(
Also, does the store accept PayPal? I heard it doesn't, but I would like to make sure.

Hey guys what are the specifics on putting ads in your flash submissions, as far as how you do it and what you get? Like is it per view or what?

I remember vaguely but was not sure and felt like it must be common knowledge here so I was asking.

I'm just not sure I'll like the old school guns, compared to my beloved SMG.

They're pretty awesome. I found out about them from a friend.

Also, I've kinda grown out of BMTH. I like some screamer music, but you can only take so much before its not even music. Awesome guitar though.

Art Project

At work with just moved office, and the powers that be have decided that the walls are too plain, so they've given everyone a canvas to whip up a masterpiece. Now I'm no artist, so I'm shitting myself right about now, as I've got 20x20cm (8x8inch) canvas to fill up by this time next week. Anyone got any ideas of something cool, yet simple I can do? And can anyone recommend so good paint/art supplies?

How about a big angry faic. Nothing boosts work morale and tells you to get back to work like an angry emoticon.

That's fucking awesome. Draw a brick wall, then cover it in graffiti style slang ("I did your mum", "JON IS A NOB", etc). Make your office street, yo!

I concur. Get yoself some street cred and pimp up the shiz. Fo shure. If you don't want to do that, i also think an angreh face would be good, nothing motivates like an angry yellow emotion >:(.

Awesome I'm finally ordering my new pc parts. I can't wait till I play crysis on it, it's gonna be so sweet. I'll probably buy RA3 soon if i got spare money, if you guys have it I'd love to play co-op with someone. I didn't manage selling my old pc but im giving it to my brother who lives in israel so it's all good.

As for flash matters, I haven't done anything in quite a while but I still want to finish my project which involves a 2D shooter where you gotta cut people's limbs off to stop them from attacking you. no one else but me seems to be really into it but im not giving up lol

In school nothing has changed much. I'm pretty disappointed by my math teacher because he never wants to talk to me about things that are normally studied in later courses, like one time i asked him about matrixes (equivalent of arrays in flash, basically) and he said it's not even studied in high school and he wants me to concentrate on what we're studying in class instead, which is uber lame and easy. I have pretty bad grades in many subjects, especially french. I think that my writing style is good, and I make very few spelling mistakes, but unfortunately here school mostly grades you on how much you work in class and at home, not on how good you are; and since it's very hard for me to work on things by which I'm not interested, i get lots of bad grades for books i didn't read or essays i didn't write.

Crysis is a great game when you can play it that is :). I'm not so sure about RA3, i like something with a bit more strategy (Eg, Comapny of Heroes, amazing game), RA3 seems to be build up arms, rush, build up, rush etc.

Sounds great. Can we get a demo? Or is it still just a concept?

On the subject of french, what are the lessons like over there? For example, french here would be learning the vocabulary and learning to create sentances and speak fluently :P. However english is more in depth about language techniques and methods. So is french over there indepth language (anylsing text etc) or do you have a seperate lesson for all that stuff?

Paint it the colour of the wall.

:Top Three Things I Hate About Animating:

1. Frame Math (ie. If I make a 7 frame walk loop and I have 36 frames left in a symbol that loops every 123 frames...)

2. Looking up things in the Library (I used to rename every object in the library for quick assess, but naming each symbol took longer than just going by the Tween and Symbol numbers--not that that's a quick process either)

3. Audio repeats. (Jokes might be funny the first time you hear them, but when your animating a long joke/series of jokes you the hear the audio so many times that the humor can die pretty fast :3 ).

Why not just name the objects ad you make them? Also you might want to try and use folders if you're using so many symbols you lose track of where they all are. Having tween or symbol 1-50 is probably not the best way to organize.

3. Audio repeats. (Jokes might be funny the first time you hear them, but when your animating a long joke/series of jokes you the hear the audio so many times that the humor can die pretty fast :3 ).

Yea the same thing happens with games I think, as I'm making something the luster is slowly lost to me, I usually pin it on what I'm making, instead of the fact that I've been around it so much.

Also boogley, that anim was sweet, hope tom frontpages it, maybe we should all pm the link to him.

Derrick Comedy

I don't know if any of you guys have heard about this comedy group, Derrick Comedy, from New York but they're hilarious. Well watching their videos I stumbled across a short film made by them. It's called Checkout and I highly reccomend it. It's about 20 minutes of hilariousness.

At least to me.
