i chased this random white dog yesterday for like 2 miles.. turns out a fat guy who works for the dog pound caught him easily, when me and 3 friends + a car could not :(

It's 7AM and I still don't feel very tired, this week my average bed time has been from 7AM to 9AM. In 3 days I have school from 9 to 6. Should I try to push my sleep forward or backward? try to go to sleep before 4 so i can wake up for school, or try to remain awake after 6pm so I can go to sleep after school's over?
it's easier for me to push my sleep time forward, but then it's gonna mess up my sleeping patterns again.

help me D:

I suggest trying to skip sleep for a day, then try to sleep at 9pm or so. Try not to oversleep though, that can mess you up too. I stayed awake 40-ish hours the other day and slept at 9pm and then woke up at 10am the next morning, but then couldn't sleep the next night til 7am :( Now I'm awake and it's 7am, I woke up about 9 hours ago, and plan to stay awake til.. well.. tonight :P

Eww
I found something I shouldn't have when using a friends laptop - I was looking for his downloads folder to find a torrent I was helping him download and noticed a folder named "Game Cheats" and thought "lol?what?" since all he plays is WoW, I opened it and there were several weirdly named folders.. none of them game names, so I opened 1 and there was about 30 .zip files all named different girls names, so I thought I'd found his porn folder - nothing wrong with having a porn folder. I opened 1 up and quickly opened the wmv inside and it was.. not normal. I was expecting sex, it was just a girl super tied up (extreme bondage I suppose?) and nothing really happening, I didn't watch all the video so I have no idea what happened. I'm guessing all the videos were the same sort of thing. That's not cool. The thing is, he's a very creepy guy anyway =/ He grew up in a secluded area, no real childhood friends other than in school but he didn't spend time with them outside of school until college or whatever, he's very sexist even if he does try to make it seem like a joke, he's very awkward socially and he's not the smartest bucket of fish in the market.. so it kinda makes sense. He has a gf (who is small and podgy and scary looking) who lives at the other side of the country, though he has said a few times he doesn't need to jerk off because he has a girl friend, whenever we've been joking about it.. I think he's fucked up, and now I'm gonna have the words "BONDAGE RAPE RAPE BONDAGE" running through my head every time I talk to him >=/

Please note guys: If you are gonna have a porn folder, don't hide it in "My Documents". Calling it something other than anything related to what it actually is (porn) is a smart move I guess, but not if you're going to hide it where it can be seen with 1 click from the desktop -.- He ruined my fragile mind.

I did enjoy that one. I also enjoyed gonz's muscley take on the characters. Alot of people hated their proportions but i found it refreshing, and i also liked that its veins were deep in 80s/early 90's video game nostalgia... I was playin Tom's Domokun smashfest after many years and im so back into retro games now.

Also. Liam stop being nosy.

Good idea.

I haven't looked at much pico day stuff yet (I am actually doing work!!! Omg no way :O!!!) but Run, Darnell, Run definitely was amazing :D

Haha, I actually name all my "unsafe files for innocent eyes" after game names, in a folder called "install files". It really doesn't make a difference though, my computer is not a laptop so no one uses it except me, and even if my familly tried to sneak inside, they don't know my password, and they would never find its location. But seriously, bondage rape isn't that bad, I mean you even said there was no sex in it, right? just a girl doing nothing. There's millions of people saving much, MUCH more gross images to their disk from sites like 4chan. I don't think there's anything wrong with your friend for having a few "peculiar" movies on his computer.

Firstly, your.. unsafe-files location sounds like a good one, since it blends in. Secondly, yes I agree there is a lot of crap from the internet like goatse and stuff but that isn't used for sexual pleasure, which I assume (I really wish I didn't assume) this is o_o haha.

I remember talking about 2girls1cup and he got obsessed for weeks over the fact I knew what it was, claiming I had it on my PC and things (he's socially retarded and no matter what the conversation is, he talks about something else.. so he'll just point random things out. "So how's your day?" "You had that 2 girl cup video on your computer!" "...")

Haha, yeah. I've always wanted to take the time and practice drawing more unreasonably muscular DBZ-esque characters (that look somewhat believable in terms of muscle placement).

Hey do any of you guys have any dreams or ambitions for Newgrounds? Such as getting number 1 on the to fifty or something like that?

To have the entire Week's Top 5 made out of entries I had hit Daily 1st over the previous week.
Suitably insane enough a goal.

I dunno, you just need the discipline to keep up a backlog of your quality stuff and submit it all at once :P Not really fair on whoever else submits that week, but ah well.

When I was 12 I really wanted to get frontpage, and I got that shortly after with a half-decent game. Sure it would be nice to get a good rank, but I've never really had any other ambitions on NG. I just write some codes when I feel like it, and eventually one day I might finish something and get some cash. no ambitions in flash beyond that.

My goal has always been to make something stick in the top 50. I've gotten close, Achievement Unlocked sat on the top 50 for several months. Alas, the top 50 is a cruel and unusual beast.

My current aim is to get a best of month certificate. Id love one of those hanging on my wall! After that who knows... Ive got my eye on those tank awards ;)

Rawr.

My current goal is to beat mindchamber and FM's hard-a game.

Was that offer to port penguins to the iphone from a company called alcomi? Also how did that turn out?

I was going to pm, but I thought others might care to know also

Nope i think the company is called PolarOwl. I honestly have no idea how its gonna turn out, its more of an experiment just to see what happens. What have I got to loose!

Here is all ive seen so far. Looks shit haha so we will see.

my goal was to get front page as well. i eventually achieved it. my new goal is to get better relations with people in the industry so i am able to make a living o_o

That actually doesn't look too bad. But if you move by putting your finger on the sides of the iTouch/Phone I'm not sure how you are going to shoot.

okay i might as well share mine.

i have two goals.

1: become a member of the actual staff of Newgrounds. learning web coding right now.

2: become youngest forum mod/mod ever. as my 16th birthday approaches this goal becomes less and less likely, but hey. what're the odds of me becoming a mod anyways?

man my goals are lofty ._.

No your goals are stupid, like the goal of becoming the youngest NG affiliate too.

All young people on NG are trying to achieve things so they can gain reputation, but the only person who truly deserves that respect is Delta, for making an impressive tutorial on 3D coding when he was 14. It doesn't really matter if you get frontpaged when you're 11, or get to be the youngest affiliate. What truly matters is that when you're older, you achieve true success. NG is a nice place, but no one's gonna write on your tomb stone "Youngest person to get frontpaged on NG"

Those things don't really matter. Instead, make flashes because you like making them, not because you hope to get something out of it. Make AS: threads if you truly want to help people, not just to get a couple of jerks on the internet to think you're cool. Often times dreams and ambitions can blind you.

Haha sweet deal, i love travelling so I'm with you on that one :P

So far... i've been to the US, Switzerland, Italy, France, Germany and Japan. (And i live in canada). But I don't feel that that's enough XD

Where has everyone here been and what's the best/coolest thing you saw while there?

At 5/1/09 07:59 PM, Luis wrote: actually id like to travel more. yea thats my goal. fuck charity.

A charity game would be awesome, think of how big it could be - I mean, a good game that gives all it's profit to charity.. the more sites it's on, the more profit it will make, the more popular it will be, the more credit you'll get.. pretty good idea.

I don't really have any goals.. I'd love to be a forum mod, maybe one day .. if Luis ever gets demodded for cybering with people over PM (they're gonna catch you sooner or later) or something. Also I'd like front page and I think if I made a proper game I'd achieve it.

no, i make flashes because i enjoy too. thats why my dream isn't to get front page or anything like that. if i made people laugh, then i'm happy. if i'm proud of my flash and i liked it, i'm happy.

the youngest mod is just a pipe dream, but im not like how i am on the forum because i want to become a mod, just because i think it's rude to be rude. or a flamer. and i find that those people get the least amount of smiles from me :(

i don't try to make anyone think i'm cool. i just want to help and i react too much to helpful advice sometimes like i am now ._.

also i still want to work at newgrounds. i dont care how long that takes.

I wanna go to a Newgrounds meet. When I can finally drink... In 3-6 years...
A front page/award wouldn't be bad either.

They did that a few years ago with hurricane katrina, where armorgames would donate to charity in your name if they could slap their logo on your game. Like 2 people took advantage of it.
