Here's looking forward to the orgy of 6999, 6699, and 6669.

I think my favorite number is 690, this is much like 69, but with a fat person lying on the bed next to you watching you do it.

I'm trying to loose weight :(

The best thing about working in a pub is that you can leave work drunk.

Since this has turned in the ashkunskript 'Reg' Lounge, I'd like to know, does anybody know a reliable and available programmer to make a game with? I've checked Kongregate and I can't get solid answers from the forums, and I dunno where to search for a trusty code monkey anymore. Ideas?

I'm an artist :(

I also code...

Once their ready.

I shall devour all 33 five jars.

This post was dedicated to jar 34 and 35 five which were saddly lost due to self-destruction durring the pickling process.

My wife has been pickling cucumbers this week. We've got around 30 jars...have to wait 6 weeks I guess to see if they're any good. We're giving them away as Christmas presents.

We put hot peppers and garlic and tons of weird stuff in some to give them magical flavors.

You do the same duder?

Trust me, you won't find anyone good on kongregate.

Wanted peppers but had none. Garlic I had though with a lot of dill. Got a few weeks to wait till they're ready too. I don't give any away though... I love my pickles.

33 lovely jars

No, you have to be a woman.

Women have more uses for them.

Pickles
I love them with my hotdogs. And mustard. I could eat pickles all day.
I could also eat baked beans all day.

Baked beans are sweet.

Kongregate forums are dead. I only use it for playing games because I prefer the achievements there to here :P I only really come on NG for the forums nowadays.

I just heard weed has been legalized here in Argentina. My mom is growing a plant, I dunno how to describe what I feel now...

pics to be posted soon

Weed and it being legal is overrated. Seriously, I think 90% of everyone I met in the US thought everyone from Holland is constantly high or something. Au contraire; I recently read about a survey which showed more people from the US tried weed at some point in their lives than Dutch people. Holland is overrated as far as that goes, I wonder what the NG'ers who went to the Amsterdam meet have to say about that. Was it as wild as you thought it would be? I talked to some old waitress/hostess in the Hooters restaurant/casino in Vegas, and she got all excited about Holland and the drugs and all. Hello, you live in Vegas, which is about ten times worse than what we have in Amsterdam (as far as I can tell after the 2 days I spent in Sin City). I don't think Amsterdam lives up to its reputation in that respect.

Also, dear Americans, what is wrong with your beers? They either tastes like water or flowers.

The reason for the Dutch "wasted" stereotype you encountered here, is due to the fact that 90% of Americans haven't been to Amsterdam. If they had, they would know why that's foolish. Hell... 90% of us don't even have a bloody passport. The beer issue is another matter entirely. Good beer does exist here, but it's all microbrew, and you'll have to find it. It's not going to find you. Still...after all that...my two fave beers are from Netherlands and Belgium, respectively. We can't even get proper Guinness here. :)

maybe if we had better beer we wouldn't need pot. plus with all this 64 calorie nonsense it's getting worse.

Actionscript/Flash brainfarts

Even after programming for 5 years or so, I found myself in a huge pickle. I had to turn something that was with 2x decimal places into a whole number, and it didn't have to be exact. I tried everything. Multiplying by 100, then dividing by 10... I sketched out formulas... nothing gave me the exact result I was looking for.

Then, I remembered Math.round()...

/facepalm

or if you're using as3 or c++, int() (cast to integer, pretty fast operation, behaves similar to floor in the positive numbers, i think it does the same for negatives cant be sure though)

My favourite programming fuck up is mixing up = and ==, has some funky results.

My least favorite programming error I've encountered, in c++, has to be when using the container class std::map. Iterators to it are supposed to remain valid if something else is deleted out of it, and indeed with GCC their implementation is correct. But, not with microsoft's compiler! So I can't pop through the map and delete unnecessary items, and all the segfaults and overwrites were crashing the game on windows. So I had to make a new map, copy the valid items over, delete the old map, and set the old map to a new map to delete a few items out of it conditionally. What a pain. Took forever to track down, took forever to fix.

Also recently I found out that when you open a file for loading, it defaults to text mode. Text mode converts some byte patterns to other things (line breaks are funky) depending on the OS, and naturally it loads stuff the right way otherwise. So my game had a few levels which it would just die trying to load on windows, so I had this huge workaround thing trying to figure out why my code wasn't working, and I got it to work 95% of the time, till i found the reason was just i needed to pop | std::ios::binary when opening a file. Then BAM all my problems for the last 2 months were solved.

You guys and your flash have it easy.

Hi guys,

Can anyone test my game? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFlcqWQVV uU

It's in the rough and I want to see what people think of the difficulty. I posted this in a new thread but no one replied so instead of constantly bumping it I thought I'd just post it here (which is what I should have done in the first place). note all the blocks are generated through actionscript so I'm sorry for the poor quality graphics

okay I obviously didn't read the rules of this thread and I apologize for that :(!

Nice game you got there pal :)
