Kinda depends on how he trips. If the front of the board hit a rock or something, he would kind of fall almost cartwheel style, I think.

Well the entire point of the game is to continue grinding on a rail until you hit the bottom. So in other words when you tumble off a rail there are pretty much two different ways you can go, barrel roll or faceplant. But then of course there are variations on those but you get the gist. Unless you ride rails backwards... I might just do both and have the two randomly switch. I have until christmas, so no problem. Thanks though!

binary stuff
If you are talking about 1 is 10, 2 is 11, 3 is 100 then my big brother and mother taught me that when i was around 8 two..but the only reason for it was to explain the joke " there are 10 kinds of people in the word. those who know binary and those who don't."

Heh, either they taught you wrong or you forgot :P

decimal:binary

0:0 1:1 2:10 3:11 4:100 5:101 6:110 7:111 8:1000 9:1001 10:1010 11:1011 12:1100 13:1101 14:1110 15:1111 16:10000

note how it's just like counting but once you get to 1, you have to go into the next collumn because there are no more digits :P

cure for the flu:
advil pm
bed
ice water

Take advil pm everytime you wake up for 24 hours, sleep really is the best medicine kinda inconvenient I lost a day though.

If you don't have a PS3, fuckin get one. I'm obsessed with LBP and Fallout3.

Is that some kind of Facebook bug or have you edited the source code? I was on it a few hours ago and it was indicating that it was today. I've also been on the Newgrounds page, and that showed the correct time for messages too.

I feel like I'm the only one who was slightly disappointed by LBP... Don't get me wrong, the single player is fun, co-op is even better (when the person you're playing with doesn't suck as much as Kirk <3). But the whole level building aspect is somewhat disappointing I think. It takes ages and ages to build a good-looking, fun and challenging level, which is why there are only very few of those... The recommended worlds are either levels made for stat whores (the get 8 awards levels) or pieces of shit made by eleven years olds (I played the game until about three weeks after the launch, so it might have improved somewhat now). And those rare couple of gems only last for a few minutes. The first couple of weeks after the launch there also were some pretty bad lag issues, which is no surprise coming Sony, but it felt just really sloppy. Anyway, all those issues took the fun out of the game for me and I haven't touched it in weeks.

I'll probably get that 'I wanna build something' vibe again some day and play it again. Hopefully by that time there will be some stuff on there that's actually worthwhile.

Any suckage on my part is completely down to the fact that the LBP servers suck monkey balls.

Someone made a front page post about this and I thought I would share it with you.

I don't want that at all. Did you hear the dude? He spent 45 minutes sending an email to his friend. 45 minutes!

Can you imagine how annoying it would be if you typed a lot (msn, bbs, coding, etc.)

I think that instead of making everything simpler, this made it harder. The only feature I liked was the alphabetical list of all the stuff on your computer.

It's also funny if you are a 'fanboy' :)

20 minutes battery life and 45 minutes to write an email, lmao. I don't understand those people who say they'd buy ANYTHING if it's made by apple, im on the opposite side of the boat because I generally hate most apple products, except the ipod touch which i guess is pretty cool, although I don't have one.

Lol I wasn't. I was pointing out the fact that the only thing different on this computer was the wheel thing. Which just made it worse in the end.

Apple==Fail.

Of course it's a fake, Apple is not retarderd. It's nicely done though...

Let's not start another one of those apple vs microsoft discussion though people, they're useless and tiresome. Talk about boobies, or something flash related.

I think there's something wrong with your code. I would try declaring your variables before running them past the equality operator. That might fix your code. Have you looked at AS Main yet? That'll be a good resource for problems like this if they happen again.

I never realized the onion was a reliable source for apple products.

WHY APPLE WHY I LIKE MY KEYBOARD OMG

that was funny even though i'm an apple 'fanboy'

Lmao...

Patu explains binary incorrectly to show that he was taught binary a long time ago so he could understand a joke that ironically says there are 2 kinds of people in the world, people who know binary and people who don't...

...and Michael Hurst apparently believes the onion...

This thread is silly.

I know this was a topic from like a whole page ago

damn

but just wanted to know if any of you awesome ps3 users

if you haven't already, add me on PSN my addy is Duchednier, same as NG ^_^

have played Resistance 2? I'm looking forward to getting it as its supposedly FLIPPING EPIC! And basically the PS3 version of Halo, but supposedly better (I haven't played Res.2 yet though so i can't judge)

and here's a random thought:
How sweet would it be to have a 30 vs. 30 all NG members ultimate DEATHMATCH on resistance?!

since you can go up to 60 ppl online at a time :D no lag either from what all reviews have told me

Welll...I was simply posting a small fragment of my if statement. It went somethin like

Plus, Apple has already been defined as fail, therefore I was stating the fact that Apple equals fail.

Honestly now, start your variables with lower case letters.

Hurray for nitpicking!

Just a bug. If I refreshed the page it would have probably shown it correctly =p

It is epic, it's beautiful, fun and overall a fantastic game. One flaw with the game: It's FUCKING IMPOSSIBLY HARD. I'm playing on medium and it's ridiculous, fucking Chimera everywhere =[ It's bloody annoying walking through a dark house and these pods keep exploding and huge creatures start lunging at you too, especially since you just ran out of ammo killing some hybrids. The chameleons are ridiculous too - they're invisible and only appear as they pounce at you (they 1 hit you too), so you need to be quick with the shotgun.

Despite it being FUCKING HARD, it's very fun. It's very forgiving too, checkpoints everywhere so you never have to relive anything too much. The online is good too, R1 was great online even though the actual gunplay wasn't my cup of tea - the levelling system and everything is gooddd.

The == operator checks for equality, it isn't an assignment operator. Learn2Code noob =D

Is it harder then Ninja Gaiden 2? Cause that game was one of the hardest games I have ever played. And on easy to.

I've never played through Ninja Gaiden but what I have played was quite easy =/

Anyway, yes. It's harddd.

And magnum rawks.

I heard Resistance 2 is too much of a mindless killbox (run into area, things try to kill you, repeat). Or is this one of those games that I shouldn't be playing on single player?

I dunno, it kinda is but the excellent bosses kinda split it up. The co-op has completely different stories (and is even harder unless you play online with 8 people).

Btw, you're the only one missing from.. FLASH MODS LONDON MEET :O
