I PM'ed Tom about a tip jar and he replied with this!

Ya know... That's a really good idea! We used to have Paypal tip buttons on view pages but no one ever seemed to use them - but I hadn't even considered the fact that now people have lots of pocket change in their rev share accounts. I'm not sure how quickly we could get this out but I'll bring it up with the guys. :)

Awesome.

Nah I didn't start Python yet :P probably gonna buy a python book and read it at school because I get really bored in class. I always have concentration problems when I try to learn stuff at home, I blame l4d :P

It's not my game, i found it on google and i thought it was an amusing name for a game. sorry to get your hopes up ^^

But actually I am working on a flash game, it's meant to be in the same style of Braid, where you can go back in time and stuff; I might post samples when there's enough to show.

I also managed to reverse the music when you go back in time, it sounds pretty cool :p

its funny because that's dead on.

Speaking of me being lazy and wanting money, with the NG Ads system, how much money do you think one could clear if their movie made frontpage? (with NG ads... on avg?)

Unfortunately facebook only lets you import 1 RSS feed, so I can't import flash and audio

Speaking of RSS, is there an RSS feed for your closure development blog? <3

Exams have to come at the most inconvenient time ever, don't they? Just as I was finally getting more productive again and working on flash a lot more exams pop in. I suppose it's not all bad if I can manage to juggle between the 2 of them and still do well in the exams. I'm not too panicy in exams as I got pretty good results in the January modules; but I don't want to fuck that up now. Besides, I get 4 weeks off (a week more than everyone else because I'm sitting both AS and A2 modules.. well.. when I say a week more, everyone else has to do at least 2 (I think it's 2) of these lame activities) for exam leave, 2 weeks on, then off for the summer. Hopefully this summer will be productive and I'll meet my target of 3 decent games by the end of the year.

First decent thing to be released in flash within a couple of weeks and waiting on art for another..

Any of you guys working on anything amazing at the moment?

i lol'd. good job 4chan.

Also, check this out. The first letters of the top 21 finalists spells "Marble cake. Also, the game"
funny coincidence.

God damnit, I lost the game. I've been playing "the game" for a good six months with my friends, but we have gotten pretty good and tend not to think of it anymore.

That's hilarious though...

I had no idea who he was until I read that. Interesting I guess :P It is funny, but things like this would influence sites to stop having polls like this, since children are just gonna spam false votes.. heh

you guys should try this sometime

I know I take shitloads of screenshots that normally end up in my trash bin during the development of a game.

This time however, I'm dumping each and every screenshot online instead of in the trash

I'm going to guess that they had a web poll to select Person of the Year. Just a shot in the dark here...

To put the magnitude of the upset in perspective, it's worth noting that everyone moot beat out actually has a job.

From what I hear, moot is being driven insane and insolvant by the sheer stress and cash requirements of running that site.

IMO, once you've got your head around one programming language it gets exponentially easier to pick others up.

Found two interesting things related to flash games today :)

Ridiculus Flash Game Controversey

Awesome way to quit from your job :P

RE: Awesome way to quit from your job

I hope the employers play all the way thru that game or else it looks like a total dick move. haha

Totally dig the idea man.
I'm an aspiring flash animator (don't judge my spelling it sucks!) new to the flash community
I have only recently got flash so ya! :D

Shame on Molleindustria for giving in to these people. Just because people are mentally ill is no reason to listen to them, in fact quite the opposite is true.

I'm DJing at Silk City in Philadelphia tonight if anyone is in the neighborhood (I don't think any of you are...). This is my first bar/club jawn, gunna make it POP

Macintosh screen shots are just pure beauty.
It's all the little shit like those screen shots that
Apple is just holding over me. Taunting me.
Saying "Get a mac you cheap bastard."

I'll get one in a couple of years.
iMacs look so stupid, I couldn't ever
proudly say I own one.

No but seriously ya apple's built in screenshot tool is miles ahead of print screen... I can screenshot the whole screen, a single window, or even draw a box around what to take, and it'll save it to the desktop in PNG format rather than copying it to the clipboard (although I can hold a key to copy it to a clipboard instead), it really is great.

sorry for all the plugs

hey glaiel whats the point of the ball? would it land on a button or something?

Vista has SnippingTool.exe not as elegant, but a good tool nonetheless.

does that or the mac version allow for screenshoting a scrolling window?
Bringing that subject up reminded me of how much longer it takes me to actually screencap and tile shit together.
