Yesterday i was up in nottingham to go support my friends band, the national final! They got through and won the regional final so anyway then they played in nottingahm in the countries final! So we all got a bus and had a wiked time. They played infront of 2000 people (normally they play infront of 200) and they came joint second with another band out of the 12 that were in the final.
So close to best young band in the country.

So, I just discovered Don Hertzfeldt and his work, and he's inspired me, for better or worse, so I tried my luck at making a cartoon like his. I call it, "french fry".

BTW Fuzz, do you have any new stuff for the game? I have nothing to work on ATM D:

Anyone else pissed about the new roll-over ads on NG? You know, those advertisement banners that become like humongous when you roll-over them. I've seen them on other sites plenty, but they're so annoying, especially on NG.

Just as bad as the banner ads with sound.

Oh...either I'm just keen on finding little annoying things or you're just ignorant.

It needs to be destroyed

Oh no, they are VERY annoying. They are obtrusive, make the pages load slower, and useless.

The Circuit City one backfired because it makes me never want to shop at Circuit City every again.

Best Buy > Circuit City anyways. Wait until they make roll-over banner ads with sound

DOOMED.

The worst one was that stupid camera one. It had that annoying snapshot sound that played infinitely just rattling through your mind. It made me want to punch my monitor, but I found an easier method, I just refreshed the page :)

In terms of advertisement though it was horrible, I don't even remember what it was for, but chances are it was one of those lame OMG IF YOU CLICK THIS AD YOU CAN GET MONEYZ OR AN IPOD LOL!!1 ones. They disgust me.

Like right now as I am typing this there is an advertisement: "find 3 differences and you get a a FREE* iPod Video. What a hoax.

Yeah, although i bet they're earning ng quite a bit of money. I must of clicked that ad millions of times to get it to shut up. I have no idea what it's advertising though.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

I had no idea this was coming out so soon, I never really got a chance to look at the thread. Great job guys.

One thing, you might want to change the link to AS: Main to go to page 47 instead of 48 as there's no list on 48.

Gawd, oh gawd, oh gawd. How do you all usualy feel right after you've submitted something? I feel like I'm about to burst right now D:

I have plans to make one. I have it pretty much all worked out, but this month is looking foggy for time so it may not be made.

sad faces :(

Nope. Got the two games I'm working on (one of which can't be sponsored for legal reasons nor talked about because it's very, very secret, the other is my Rockstar sim) that aren't halloween themed. Hoping to get them both released in December.

If AG has another free-for-all comp running by December, I'll enter for that with Rockstar.

No prob :) Everything I said was sincere. I really don't write many reviews because not many entries strike me as something that can be so helpful for people trying to learn, and the fact that when I review I usually seem to get myself into trouble, but that's another story :)

Awesome. I really hope you get daily feature.

after 12 minutes of writting im finnaly done my damned review. lol. good job though.

Man, school, work, and other crap is really eating up Flash time, it's making me feel bad because I can't be doing what I love best and what I am good at ='(

Heh, luckily to me, im already outta school (long live latin america XD). But, im still not sure wheter or not thats a good thing... with school done, i can go out to parties and just hang out and be lazy... but then again... :(

I really hope you can end yours TD :)

Is there any rule or something against uploading a new file on an old submission for testing?

i have done it a few times, to test for lag, interenet connections for online game play, and i would like to use it on any major submission to do last minute testing, make sure the preloader works 100% before submitting (gotta hate it when you submit and find out the preloader's broken),

im wondering is there is any rule or problem with doing this...i dont see why there would be, but i know the submission system was not origonaly made for a testing ground.

Given that the flash is going to run the same under practically the same performance as any other site on the net, why would you test it on an old submission? It would make sense just to save the file on an html file on your desktop, and test from there. The only thing I could really see you uploading to Newgrounds for is for download speed testing.

I imagine it will be okay, just replace one of your older crappier movies for a little while, instead of posting it through the portal again.

i used to use a site called Site Sled to upload files and test them on, and i later found out, AFTER testing on newgrounds, that Site Sled made all my swf's alot slower, increasing lag 4X. And by test, i mean show to alot of other people as well, so it has to be on some sort of interenet site.

and if its a small file, i will use Denvish's site, but it seems his site will not take files over 2-3megs in size, even though it says max 5 megs.

and i just have a feeling of secruity testing on the site im actually submtting to....dont know why.
