American News
I can't stand Fox, i don't understand how such a biased, offensive and moronic channel is allowed to describe themself as news. People like Bill O'Reily, Glenn Beck etc are allowed to be in public, never mind on television.
HO HO HOPE you become a Newgrounds Supporter this year!
We're working hard to give you the best site possible, but we have bills to pay and community support is vital to keep things going and growing. Thank you for considering!

Exactly my opinion, they're a bunch of idiots who try to appeal to the stupid mayority by making completely opinionated reports to benefit their conservative point of view, it's extremely annoying, the worst part is, they can't even get their facts right, even though I have to admit, it makes it hilarous at times.

FoxNews is for children who sat too close to the television, growing up. It is a known fact that they are truth benders par excellence. FoxNews memos read like a George Orwell novel. Fear mongering and propaganda poorly disguised as journalism.
PS...you think Bill-O the Clown is bad news? Try watching more than 10 minutes of Glenn "Moral Orel" Beck.
Or you could just not watch television and enjoy the fruits of ignorance!
Hi there!

I've seen clips of Glenn Beck, on Charlie Brokers show and from random clips online I guess.. his face needs to be introduced to a brick.
Sup, bitches :)

(television == true) != (ignorance == false)

I like his summary of Glenn Beck as 'Peter Finch in Network, only crazier'.
Facebooks
Has anyone played around with the "ActionScript 3.0 Client Library for Facebook Platform API" yet? I've been messing around with it the last couple of days. It seems like it'll be a great thing to learn. Check this thing out.

No, but I think Facebook is a fantastic distribution platform for games and I think if I ever make a game I'll seriously consider distributing on Facebook somehow.
Check this thing out.
Wow. I was expecting exactly that, and yet I still enjoyed it a lot.. really cool :)
Sup, bitches :)

doesn't that mean Boolean(television) = !Boolean(ignorance)?
if television = false then television == true is false, and therefore ignorenace == false = false, so ignorenace = true
if television = true, then television == true is true, and therefore ignorance == false = true, so ignorance = false
that means television is the boolean opposite of ignorance, so if you watch television you are not ignorant, and if you don't you are ignorant, which seems like a bizzare claim to be making.

A truly, truly, truly un-decompilable flash file.
how? By writing the functions yourself in pure bytecode so that they have no equivalent in AS3, and by using fp10 new opcodes that Alchemy uses, that decompilers don't support, and if they did, they have no idea how to convert it to AS3 eitherway, as an example, this is what Sothink Swf Decompiler thinks of my malloc() function.
public function malloc(param1:int) : int
{
var _loc_2:int = 0;
var _loc_3:int = 0;
var _loc_4:int = 0;
if (0 != 0)
{
if (0 + 17 >= param1)
{
_loc_3 = 0 + 17;
_loc_2 = 0;
if (++_loc_2 != 0)
{
}
if (_loc_4 != 0)
{
}
if (_loc_3 != 0)
{
}
if (++_loc_2 != 0)
{
}
if (_loc_3 != 0)
{
}
}
if (_loc_3++ + 5 != 0)
{
}
}
return _loc_3 - (21 + param1) < 4 ? (_loc_4 + 5) : (_loc_3++ + 5 != 0 ? (if (++_loc_2 == 0) goto 6, _loc_4 = _loc_2 + , if (_loc_4 == 0) goto 9, _loc_3 = _loc_2 + 2, _loc_4 = _loc_2 + (21 + param1, _loc_3 = _loc_2 + 1, if (_loc_3 == 0) goto 16, if (++_loc_2 == 0) goto 19, _loc_3 = _loc_2 + , if (_loc_3 == 0) goto 22, _loc_4) : (if (_loc_3++ + 5 == 0) goto 25, // Jump to 2, _loc_3++ + 5));
}// end function
This is what it actually looks like (before being passed through my program that inserts the opcodes into the swf)
Well done, now all you have to do is write your entire games in bytecode!!!

Even though my point was technically incorrect in the statement I made, I think it was preeeetty obvious what I was trying to say, which was that you can easily enjoy the fruits of ignorance while watching television. It could also be argued john meant ignorance in a very strict sense of not knowing, while I mean it in the sense of knowing something but not knowing the truth, which is the type of ignorance you'd get from watching bill oreilly. And even still he was obviously joking around, and probably realizes that the absence of television doesn't imply ignorance and the presence of television doesn't imply knowledge. I'm a little surprised you wouldn't bring either of those things up considering they're equally useless things to be arguing.
But I suppose it's my fault for not putting a disclaimer about the playfully symbolic nature of a code snippet I decided to use replacing the usual english language.

faster? You obviously mean slower. When a character jumps, i feel he should definetily have a REALLY long charge to it, at least 10 seconds, that way you KNOW he's doing his best to jump as high as he can just for you!

So guys! I'm totally going to the caribbean for 10 days as of 4 hours from now!!!!!
I'll take a picture for ya'll! Just 1 though >__>

I give it a week of mainstream use before someone makes a decompiler patch to get around it :p
CS3 or CS4
So which one do you guys like better? Right know i like CS3 better. I think it's just easier to work with. Honestly i've only had CS4 a few days, and i was kinda laggy and slow on my computer. I'm gonna re-install the trial and see if i like it now that i can probably run it faster. I cleared a lot of shit from my HDD.
I wonder if they will even be able to add anything to CS5 that could run on 32 bits.

Not like there are any open decompilers to patch? And there's no need for such a decompiler, it's not compiled from Actionscript, and the programs will be so complex they couldn't be read. Anyone who'd be interested in them is better off asking Luca.

never used cs4 but i know that it has some really cool features cs3 was basicly a slicker looking flash 8
as 3 so from my pint of view flash cs4 for the win...i prefer flash 8 over cs3..
I still like flash MX 2004 ^^ The IDE itself is very light and compact, which is ideal for what I use flash for. Actually I use notepad++ for a fair part of the code writing I do, but it's always nicer to just click ctrl enter and instantly see the outcome of your work.

This is true for making big animations and stuff, i think CS4 is too bulky in terms of extra stuff, but i really like the filters that were added with flash 8 pro. Currently i use CS3 because when i trade off files with programmers that use AS3 theres no huge issues with converting them to the appropriate fla format.
As i do art rather than actionscript, filters are definitely a nice tool :D
I'm currently in florida in a hotel with nothing to do!!!! Universal studios tomorrow :D
Sleep routine reboot
Anybody else have a tendency to sometimes mess up your "sleep routine" so that you eventually end up sleeping until the evening, then staying awake for 24+ hours so that you can get to sleep early the next day?
I have done it like 2-3 times this summer, and now it's time for another try: Local time is now 11-ish PM (normally I never go to bed this early if I'm free the next day) , and I have been awake for almost 30 hours. The weird thing is that I was really tired a couple of hours ago, now I actually feel pretty sharp.. A little bit of reading should cure that though :P

Haha tell me about it ... I always have that on school holidays. Mine varies a bit from yours though, most of the time I don't even bother trying to stay up over 24 hours just to sleep at a normal time, i just continue sleeping "normally" until finally i reach the point where i wake up at 4 AM or something and it's technically possible to go to school without being tired as fuck.
I always mess up my sleep really badly, I think it's called 25-hours sleep cycles or something, where you have a hard time always going to bed at the same time at night. or maybe it's just called video game addiction :p either way i almost always go to sleep very late at night / very early in the morning whenever it's possible. for some reason I like the night, I like the loneliness and cold wind of the night, and for some reason i often really like listening to music very loud at 3 AM, gives me a false sense of motivation. on school days i usually manage to sleep before 4 AM and wake up in the morning, but a lot of times i miss the morning classes because i oversleep. actually, when i oversleep i often miss ALL the classes, because i wake up at 4 PM or something
Uni kinda fucked up my sleep quite a bit. I got into a weird routine of 4am-9am on weekdays with a nap between around 11am and 1pm, and then 4am-2pm on weekends. I was just basically fitting my sleep around my lectures.
Now that I have nothing to do all day, i find that the number of hours I sleep a night gets more and more. I used to wake up naturally after 8 or 9 hours, but now i'll happily sleep for 10+
I think my bodies trying to make me hibernate.

They want me to sign some contracts and a W8-BEN form. WTH!
I'm not used to all that and then I need to wait 30 days before they even send my check.
Grah.
Yeah i had to do that for Bounce 2. We got $1175 for that game, and i split it 50-50 with my coder. I got somewhere around $500. Usually when you get around that much money, they make you sign that. It basically means they tax you for the game and take some money if I'm correct.
am i correct?
