Ternaries have saved me a lot of time and lines in recent code. Although they take up more resources if i've been told correctly.

Yes. It's a good thing.

I'm not a violent person, but if GoDaddy was an old lady I'd beat the shit out of her.

hey remember who made The Dream Shatterer? Yeah he was a pretty cool dood...

Attention seekers

Why do people have to be attention whores? I've just spent the last 15 minutes facebooking IMing people to stop arguing with a girl who's replaced her profile pic with an arm with a dotted line and scissors. Had to get them to stop in order that she definitely wouldn't cut herself. Not that she would but you can never be too careful with people seeking this kind of attention. I get tired of this crap. Why can't people mature and deal with their own problems. And why are people stupid enough to pay them they attention they want.

People are dumbasses.

I just got Heavy Rain, and I have to say, it's a beautiful game. The storyline is gripping, and I found myself feeling the same emotions the characters were feeling while playing. Like, when Ethan Marshall was playing with his kids, I was overcome with joy, but when he lost one of them in a mall, I was on the edge of my seat, fearing the possibility that he was kidnapped or killed.

I hope that someday, Flash games will have the power to convey strong emotions like Heavy Rain does. That'd just be amazing.

I don't know, I just do.
Attention whores annoy me and I don't want people self harming.

USERNAME CHANGE?
I want to change my username. I want to keep the "Archon" part of it, just not the numbers. I was thinking of changing it to "TheArkon". What do you guys think of the name? I think it looks pretty damn sweet in my WIP logo.

man, what happened to all the old flash regs? I started a collaboration, and the only people replying are rookies with hardly any skill under their belt... I miss u guys :(

The collaboration forum is filled with 11 year olds. My collab started in Dec15, when their was no collaboration forum.
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1140 636

Me and Archon managed to Kick out lots of the noobs.

I PM'd some of the best animators on NG if they would join my colllab.
Some of them are
Sh0t-D0wn
TmsT
Their were way more but those are the only 2 I remember at the moment.

But you should always be ready for QuaLITY cONTROL IN THE collaboration forum.

Darx, man I remember when I used to animate back in the day, I looked up to you so much! It's so weird, where the fuck did you go for like two or three years? You just disappeared off the face of this shallow little sub-forum! I missed you, now bring back the quality.

Speaking of animation quality, how much does everyone and everything in the Animation Forum suck! You go through the art forum, and while there is loads of crap, there are a fair number of good artist. I wish I could say the same about the A.F. but I have yet to see one good thing come out of there. Fuckin' nubz.

I think the logo is awesome but I don't like the name. The numbers add to it some how. But don't listen to me I've had the same username for 4 years.

Make it so that only those with a BA of 3.5 and above can join. I've seen a lot of collabs that do that work out.

there's nothing wrong with new animators coming up in the scene, we just dont give a fuck about em lmaO!!! i am sorry but usually its true also archon69 dont change your name to THEARKON because everyone with THE in their name is a fuckin moron

I finally made my decision. I'm changing my username to Farza :)

Good choice. Farza is a great username. It strangely fits you as well.

As for my new username, apparently "The" makes me sound like a moron, and the numbers in my name are important or something. Does that mean I should just keep it the same, or?

This is hard

Don't change it, it'll be weird seeing you with another username :S

I guess I won't change it, then.

I always thought it was pronounced Ar-tsh-on and not ar-kon.

That's how it was originally pronounced but nobody ever pronounced it right so I just gave up telling them otherwise. Besides, "TheArtshon" would look weird. :)

I think just "Archon" is good, personally. Numbers after someone's name always make me think of the sadness that came about when your username/email was taken by 50 other people and you had to be JoesBalls51.

No one is as cool as the original "JoesBalls"

Not with Jtmb though, for some reason. He can get away with it.

That's what I was trying to do. i was trying to get people to stop arguing with the person in order to make sure she wasn't getting the attention she wanted. The more attention she gets the more it encourages her. She can cut herself if she wants but I would say that needs to be purely her decision and not one fueled by attention.
