Yeah, so I was riding my bike home from my friends house a few minutes ago, a guy in his 40's in a van stops me and says,

"Hey, do you have a cell phone?" I freeze, saying, "Yeah...?"

I live in a pretty populated area, getting great reception on my phone all the time. He continues,

"I don't have any reception and I need to call this kid... To get him to work..."

I didn't know how long I stayed there just watching, maybe 10 seconds, lol.

"No, I kinda gotta get home really soon, it's getting dark..."
"Oh, ok." He drives away.

Seriously? If you don't have any reception, don't stop in the middle of the road asking a 14 year old to come up to your van and give you a phone. Chances are, they don't have reception, too. Just go to another area a few hundred feet away, maybe a mile!

I'm not saying he was a predator or anything, but if he was, he was a poor one at best.

Flash Jobs

I really need some money. My very good talent is graphics design, and guitar of course. I really need a job, and i think a job in the Graphic Arts would be really awesome. Is there any places that hire graphic designers for websites or anything?

I rather enjoy Gust's dry sense of humor, and usually...he's right.

:D

I was going home on friday, when I stopped at this church to ride my scooter for a while, when these seventh graders I know come by and start doing that prank where you pretend to be pulling a rope across the street in order to make cars stop. So I'm watching them for about five minutes when my friend, alex, walks by them and he's limping because he hurt his foot, and the sevies are giving him a hard time, so I go over and tell them not to hassle him and we walk up to the church and hang out for another five minutes, watching the sevies do their trick. Then it's time for alex to go and he starts walking home, and all of the seventh graders are gone, except one that's walking away from alex and yelling mean stuff at him. So there's this seventh grader, mouthing off to a high schooler, and alex drops his bag and starts walking over to the sevie, saying that he's gonna beat him up. As soon as the seventh grader hears this, he gets all scared, saying he was just messing around. He's asking me to help him by stopping alex from beating him up. So when alex gets over there, he starts laughing, and everyone (except for the seventh grader) starts laughing. We tell him that alex was just joking too, and wasn't gonna beat him up. So the kid walks home all scared. It was funny, but we felt bad about it afterward. oh well.
Sorry if that doesn't make sense, I feel kinda high. (I'm not though)

silly seventh graders, picking on someone two years older than them.

I'd just pick up the little brat and throw him over the horizon.

I've notice in the area I live right now, the shit disturbers are getting younger and younger.
Not in a good way, like 14 year olds thinking they can talk trash to 18+.

They don't seem to realize we tower over them and if we want to, we'll just run them over with our cars.

Of course, it's always just talk with them, once you show any sign of having enough of their shit they pretty much run away.

I can't wait to move out of this empty town, there's nothing to do.

Someone poses a what if... and then you have to answer it and pose your own. ready? go.

Women would be the target to be software engineer's. They will only work for one week a month, but the overall product would be amazing with only a week's pay per month.

What if....

Newgrounds' banned your account for swearing.

Nah BoM. No alt. Gust knows a great deal more code sushi than I do, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. :D

I'd be okay. I mean, I'm Hispanic so they shouldn't have a problem with me right?

What if you were on a roll with a project and about 2 hours away from a strong finish, when your girlfriend comes over and gives you the eye? To further complicate the situation, stepping away from your computer would involve forgetting exactly how you wanted to finish the project.

Well i use flash CS3 now
and i downloaded a sound but when i start my flash
i almost dont hear anything whats the prob?

You need to import it to the library, go to the frame in which the sound starts, click it, go to properties and in the box that says Sound, select the desired music or whatever.

And the reg lounge is basically for general discussion, you should probably make a thread if you wanna ask a specific question ;)

Ow thank you :)
And sorry that i didnt make a new thread i thought this was something like...
Well a qeustion thread...
Thanks!

Looking good. I think, when you actually have all the pieces working, that before the level starts it should all be visible, then fliker out to darkness. Watching those vids i'm not sure where i would start whilst playing.

And happy birthday, albeit a day late :).

Im heading to Download festival tomorrow! Any UK regs making it this year? Really excited , there are some great bands playing and ive spent way too long at my computer over the last few months.

One annoying thing is the game ive been doing for Armor Games is being released either tomorrow or thursday, so I wont get to see how well it does until monday! Keep a look out for it, its called Medieval Mercenaries. Ah well, Download is a lot more important!

Ive been looking forward to download all year, couldnt make it last year but I was there the one before that. I was expecting to go, then my exam timetable comes out and Ive got my last exam on thursday :( Such an awesome line up as well, Ive seen a few before but ZZ top and Def Leppard I would die to see :(
Good luck to your game, it looks cool.

I actually asked this last month. No one said anything, so I didn't get tickets despite Donnington being a whole ten miles from my house.

Wow...Def Leppard. Their sound system is ridiculous. Strictly audiophile business.

Its tempting to just pay for Sunday and go to see Dream Theater.
Now THATS strictly audiophile business

Yeah cant wait for Dream Theater, ive seen them once before, when the last played download, and were amazing :)

The best sound system ive ever heard was Roger Waters at Hyde Park - that really blew me away!

The day that kongregate got an audio portal and beat us to the art portal.

That, and the day I made a stain on my Wacom by placing my wineglass on it.

Cool site for finding domain names: domai.nr

With that I found a pretty sweet domain name, it seems to be very expensive everywhere though.. Anybody know where one can get "odd" domain names cheap? ;)

adm.an is 300 dollars, holy shit. ill stick with admanic.com.. which actually ran out the other day D:

Mwhhahahaha! I'll comment tomorrow with my review.

I saw a thread a while ago here where someone asked how to have user recognition in your flash... how do you do that?
Or can you show me where that thread is?
Can't find it
