I had a pig that did that, but when it pooped it made a strange sound and deposited brown sweets. Yay :D.

Anyway, i got A Fender Strat, a New Mouse, and a Great Flash Book. Anyone else have it?

I got a better one.

jmtb02 name-calling/nicknames

jmtb02: where do you work?

My real name: BEhrooZ Shahriari. Called Bez in primary school, before anyone knew of the Happy Mondays. Been called Bezman (which I later adopted in games and for internet), Beatsa, Bezmundo, Jabezdos, Bizza, Bezerrina and others. Those are just some of the more typical names. I encourage and enjoy creativity.

Mostly 'Bez' though.

Re: Masterswordsman

Seems that your name should be MasterswordMan to help it be Mastersword Man rather than Master swordman.

Know what I mean?

Sorry to double-post.

Do you guys consider "Animutation" to still count as flash artwork? Its the stuff I fell in love with and actually "Learned" flash for the soul purpose of making them.

Animutation

Totally. Like any art, it can be good or bad.

Monty Python stuff is great, and that halloweeen smashing game last Halleen was cool too.

On the other end, 'French Erotic Film' (search for on NG) is just some simple fun. Not art but certainly entertaining.

In any case, don't worry too much of others' opinions.

Whatd you get? I DONT CARE

Well after 20 some conversations today of all the crap 'santa' brought you I'm officially burned out.

I wanted to mention that. I'm back to being grumpy.

Yay, I got a new tablet! Man, that thing is small...

I also got a bike and a giant piggy bank.

Re: Presents

I got a 360 over my moms, enough money for a Wii as soon as it comes out and then some, a weight training set (both over my dad's), an iPod video, and a new hockey stick that isn't cheap-ass wood.

Merry Christmas :)

Seals was the first thing that came to my mind... that's odd...

Collections to big???

Do you think they are getting to big? i remember back in the day, i would go into collection pages to find the best action games, funniest cartoons, and all around best newgrounds had to offer. But after the update, it got very cluttered, and it was hard to find good submission in the collection pages. Its no longer about finding good flash's in a single page, which is what i believed was its origonal purpose.

What do you all think?

collections

they have become a bit messy due to the huge amont of movies on newgrounds. there are some collection pages that have 100's and some that have like.. 3..

would take years to sort it out though :(
:)

AM Collection

people keep buggin me about this so i might aswell make this comment to shut them up:
"Why is there no collection page for Lord-Sonx's Amatuer minute series!?"

Re: Presents
Re: Presents

I got a new bike (finally)!

You have perked my interest. What model and what year?

Re: jmtb02 Namedness

I have three jobs. I work for Armor Games full time, and thats fun. I also work freelance. My third job is working on campus at UC Davis, at ET Partners, which is a helpdesk style group for the entire campus staff, so if they have questions on Adobe products, they can come to me and get help. I also work on Powerpoint and other Microsoft products. We dont only learn the basics (Dreamweaver and Flash), but other strange programs from Macromedia (Breeze, Breeze Meeting, Captivate, Contribute, etc).

Re: jmtb02 workednesstuffandjunk

What in the world do those programs do?

Anyways...

My site name

I'm lost for ideas, I ruled out anything with 'productions', 'studios', and 'films' because it sounds just plain stupid, and trunks.com, .net, .biz, and even .tv is taken.

Which leads me to the actual question: What in the world could I have for a site name? It would have my comics, audio, flash, and art up.... if that helps.

trunksland :P or something that reveals what your website is about.

my website is my username, but sometimes i wish it wasnt my username. but something along the lines of "blazeyland" or something. that shows im not corporative or professional, im just a guy that likes to play with flash :3

It was goofy things like French Erotic Film that got me interested in learning flash. I know they are random with inside jokes. Thus far I havent had a single submission blammed, so I'm in a positive mode on my stuff.

RE: Appreciation

I think learning flash has made me a bit harsher in my judgment, as I can quickly see when someone has done a cop out and didnt put any effort into it... especially first time submissions. I took 6 months for my first submission because it was my first flash EVER and I didnt want people to think it was my first flash... and most people didnt. If someone doesnt have that ambition, why do they bother?

Re: jmtb02 Work

Macromedia Breeze is a two part program. The first part sets up visual presentations that can include video, sound, images, and powerpoint slides into a self-contained streaming Flash file, with a snazzy prebuilt interface. Essentially, its a visual teaching tool with video and sound. Second, its a meeting program, where people can talk, chat, have multiple web cams, a shared whiteboard, and total flexable meeting environment that everyone can use live (its extremely powerful for being completely flash/flash server based). Breeze Meeting requires a server and several thousand dollars to run, since its nearly 50 cents a minute for each person in the meeting, unless you get an unlimited license like my school has.

Macromedia Captivate is a visual swf building tool for learning software. It will record whatever you do on the screen, then turn your cursor and actions into automatic text bubbles and tweens. Basically, you just control the screen, and Captivate will take over and automatically trace your actions in the program and add text bubbles and sound effects as necessary. Really nice teaching tool.

Macromedia Contribute is a html for non-html users program. Its a way for devs to build interactive web forms, so that users that are not web-savvy can just fill in blank areas of the page with their own content like a word processor, instead of trying to code links and all that. Contribute devs can build the actual website, then designate whats available for edit of the page... then using the power of css, the program automatically formats and selects the areas to save onto the html page, and uploads automatically.

Presents

I didn't get much of interest. I got Bully the game, the new Batman movie on DVD, A Starwars graphic novel, a CD scratch repair thing, a art set that seems like more of a child toy or a novelty item than a practical item, and some other smaller random things.
I don't want to be ungrateful but it was a bunch of shit for the most part. I'm gonna end up spending my own money to get things I asked for that could've cost less money than what I got in the first place. I mean why would I want a huge beach blanket in December, especially when I don't use beach blankets.

Bikes

I stopped caring about bikes when I...actually I never cared about bikes. My dad used to get mine out of the trash at the local dump. It would get me around and I sure didn't care. I much prefer vehicular means of transportation. I was going to ride my bike around the block over the summer until I heard you can get a DWI while on a bike.

Trunk's Site

If you're going for something professional then you might want to start fresh altogether. I don't know if its intended, but you name just reminds me of Dragon Ball Z. Besides, why you buying a domain name when you're 14, seems like a waste of money. People always say shit about freewebs but it gets the job done.

Presents

I got a full japanese sushi dinner set... I like making sushi. a chinese caligraphy set (no, I'm white) and the only thing I actually asked for this year... Max Brooks "World War Z"

Talk about NOT interesting at all...

meh ba!!!

Batting average: 3.44 / 5.00 (A+)

I'm not gonna lie, the last few of days have really made me feel like a much more legit flasher.

RE: Presents

My gifts were primarily cash...so it didn't really feel like christmas. Not to say i'm not thankful though. i think i'm gonna go treat myself to some video games or something of the like. I haven't bought a video game (above $20) for the longest time.

Re: Presents
I got a lot of money for Christmas. Enough to get me a new computer (It's combined with my birthday money) which I'm very happy with.
I ended up getting $500AUD which is verrry good :D

Humbug!

I'm inviting everyone here (Luis) to join me for an official Scrooge-up. All I got for Christmas was cold, hard, cynical cash, plus a paperback I already had the hardback for, and I can't be arsed going out to spend it yet, so I'm feelingb just a little draines of the Christmas spirit.

So, anyone who talks about presents or whatever is going to get bitch slapped. Then pimp slapped. Then bitch slapped once more.

Its a fairly basic idea, you get launched out of a cannon and you have to fly through hoops while dodging things in the air. Slowly getting faster.

You want a scripter, right? I'd be happy to give it a go :P

Jakes Toon

I say he all give HandsomeJake and hug.
