I was a dumbass back then and I sure as shit posted like one. Funny how much can change in 9 years.

Holy hell, it's been a while, hasn't it?
I took a hiatus from everything remotely connected to civilization for two years, but other than that, what the hell happened? I can't remember what I was doing in that timespan...

Nope, wasn't me. I just started a topic and it got semi-derailed. Such was the way of the Flash forum, back then.

Being a newcomer here, you probably remember the dumb questions I posted when I first joined, only two years ago...

I wasn't even new to Flash then, however. When I first started writing AS in Flash (which was maybe five years ago), I was a 100% programming illiterate (as opposed to 99% at the moment). I didn't even have any idea how for loops worked. Following a Flash 8 book with lousy AS1ish tutorials didn't teach me much...

What I used to do when I was 12:

it wouldn't be newgrounds if we didn't all make shitty posts all the time even now even this post

If I finish this game by the end of the month it'll be a miracle. My issue is that I'm lazy.

There's nothing stopping me from uninstalling it an hour after I install it...there should be some setting in chrome to prevent deleting or editing options for x hours that can't be removed.

I think we are all looking for magic will power source, magic workers stone...

i've been trying to get time to do that all day. All week, even.
Right now, i'm a lobster from yardwork, and my right hand is covered in so many blisters I can't hold a hammer right.

Otherwise, i'm trying to get my friends involved in a game of Dota, but we've all had weird hours and stuff come up in the last few weeks. We're going to try again either tonight or tomorrow night.

Fuck yeah, I got my power back. going to make this game finally, to the end, its going to be best game ever.. my train of thoughts, until tomorrow sadly :D whats up?

I learned the value of making actual toString methods. After each command is issued, it traces(battleResult); and instead of me tracing every property manually, deleting them, and rewriting them later, it tells me everything I need to know in an organized manner!

Few projects floating around right now, each one mostly a prototype and a "yes" from an artist.

I'm working on one. A very small, pretty simple one I know I can finish pretty quickly. I'll put it up on NG because why not?

I've decided to stop being lazy and finish Theifer, but now there's a bunch of design hurdles to jump through that I didn't see coming.

Thief?

actually it's Theifer O'Greedy. My artist came up with the name, I thought it was like they-fer on purpose because it sounds Irish. Turns out he commonly misspells Thief, I'm wondering whether to keep it wrong now

I would change it to the correct spelling otherwise people will think you're just uneducated. I managed to get away with "Final Defense" because that's how it's spelt in the USA, in England it's "Defence".
This isn't really like that though because theif is never acceptable. However it does remind of an interesting anecdote if you're interested. In England we use "ou" whereas in American English they drop the u (color and colour being the classic example). This was quite a problem for armorgames.com back in the day, as some cheeky mother fucker took armourgames.com and redirected it to their site. In fact it still remains that way today!

And a final gift on this marvelously long and pointless post, see if you can spot the other English word I used in the post which is different in American English :)

Spelt is a type of wheat, silly.

You won the prize :)
Americans can't handle spelling things correctly so they drop letters and just add "ed" to things when speaking in the past tense. Spelled :P

trying to use bitmapdata lock to improve rendering preformance, but parallax background is in my way ... so, no

also i am happy that americans are bad in spelling and no one is pointing to my bad grammar, i am from Croatia,Balkans, EU :D

How is that an issue? If you're using scroll or something and that interferes with lock, instead you could change the xy of a rectangle and use that as the sourceRect for copying the background to the main bmd.

Also I just realized I have two half-written tutorials on xml/json and blitting that are just sitting there...I guess I should get to editing those with all this free time. But I also just started watching Arrested Development, so I have less free time than I think I do.

damn now i have to open FD again, already starting race in WRC 2
well for drawing background i just reduce destination point x value and since background size is almost size of screen rectangle is like with no lock...

lol great show btw, i watch Community lately..
Well man doesn't have free time you are either winning (charile sheen reference) or loosing .. time i guess
I cant post post without emoticons...

new Arrested is great, it started out weak, but its gets awesome quickly. I really should get up to date on community.

got this today in my spam folder. Seems legit.

That does kind of seem legit. I can't tell if you're being ironic or double ironic.

Aside from the fact that the IRS doesn't send out random, poorly-named .exes in zip files, yeah. It seems really legit. Which makes me all the more pissed off. It's a huge fine plus jail time to impersonate a government branch or employee here.
My time working for them taught me a few things :P

It makes me very angry inside when I get emails like this. Not because I'm worried that I will fall for it, but that there are people actually dumb enough to.

What reallllly bugs me is this stuff. There is really nothing worse then some person trying to impersonate a teenager.

I just got mails from African criminals to send them money, no biggy. Dont worry FBI CIA CSI i dont support them in case you tracked this post :P rofl

I get like four of those exact same e-mails with the same names every day.
I read it once for a laugh.
