Yesterday I asked my sister if she wanted to go next year (she's into comics, so that's a plus) and she was cool with it. If that sticks, who knows. It would be awesome to go there and meet some of the NG folk though, and to check out everything else as well.

I'll have to plan better next year. :D

Aww, man, sorry I missed you. I saw myself in the web cam...Yay! Who's planning on going to CC next year?

I went, didn't see you though. I need to talk to more people, it seems even with all the prizes I'm getting no one knows who I am.

My sister is moving to San Diego this summer so as long as she's still there next year, I'm going.

Cape Cod
Appalachian Mountains
New York
Me
Washington D.C.
Newgrounds Office
A LOT of historical places (considering the country started over here)
etc...

Actually, i heard through the grapevine that the NG booth would be relocated to Apple-con 2008 which is in NY. I think tom felt too overwhelmed running two booths. Probably way too early to tell.

we also got pennsylvania wich is really historic ini alot of places. our shores are the best tho

Hey, I drove through Oregon a few times. Bought some stuff and I didn't have to pay sales tax. That was pretty cool. It was weird having somebody filling my gas tank that wasn't me, I gave the guy a huge tip because I have no idea how much of a tip you give a gasoline filler person. Otherwise, ummm, you have a lot of green stuff up there, nothing like Arizona.

Yeah, those are pretty much the advantages to living there. Unfortunately you have to pay income tax, so no sales tax is only an advantage to visitors. Do you remember where you went through Oregon? It sounds like the valley to me.

I drove right through on the interstate, kind of by the west coast, through Portland and straight south.

Here's my attempt at a Pepsi advert or something... I've been working on it all day. (15 mb)

The last scene sucks but I'm working on it. I don't wanna trash it because I did it in Illustrator so I can resize it as much as I want which is pretty cool.

Looks pretty cool so far. The one part I didn't like was the last shot, where the camera went into the can. Not too sure why, but it doesn't seem to match up with the other stuff too well. However, I imagine you're still trying out new things (is that still After Effects?).

Yeah, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I agree the last shot doesn't really fit but I spent a while on it so I'm reluctant to trash it, but I guess I might have to.
And btw, it's not actually that small. It looks a lot nicer at actual size, but the file size comes out to be huge!

I've decided that I need to try my hand at after effects...shits too awesome to pass up.

Thanks for inspiring.

Also, fucks up with NYC Meet Up?

aye, ill be coming if it gets properly organised.

Guess Who's Back

Awh, no one cares :[

Let's see here. It's me, Rudy and I'm back for a while. I've been gone for the past week because I experienced alot of problems with my computer. I couldn't access any of my files because my hard drive was corrupted. To back-up my work, I went to a local Circuit City, and paid them about $100 bucks to back up about 10GB worth of information.

It's a shame, they failed at what I asked for them to do. For one the disappointment was pretty extreme to me, from their work and progress.

For one, They told me I'd have to wait about 2-3 days, to get everything done. It took them about over a week. Hm.

For two, I asked them to back-up everything in my picture folder which includes, my Flash Animations, my website layouts, and of course my pictures. What do they back up? They back up all my desktop icons, just pictures, ONE flash file of something totally different, some personal videos, and my document files. That's it. They missed out all my Flash Animations, and my personal photos from my family in which aren't replaceable or in any way, easy to get back, since I restored my computer to it's beginning state.

I'm highly disappointed with the service, I've recieved from the FireDog squad from Circuit City. I've lost many personal files, and I've lost alot of hope. Now I have to rebuild everything I once created, I have to start over from scratch, even though starting over is sometimes a good thing... But everything I once created was on that computer, now it's gone. I depended on Circuit City to back up my important needed files, but they couldn't even do that. For all the patience and time I waited, I wish I could of gotten better service than I received. I'm left with only a few Music Files, and some pictures&videos, left with no Flash Animation Files, which were the first reason why I went to Circuit City in the first place.

If I wanted to just delete them and not care about them, I would of just never even resulted to them. But sadly, I was wrong, I thought I could depend on them..but I couldn't. Eh, oh well. I'm just extremely frustrated with the whole situation. And, Circuit City will hear a complaint. Even if I signed release forms, even If I signed some papers saying THEY AREN'T RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST DATA, I still depended on them and that's all that counts.

I'm pissed off.

I wouldn't mind spending a couple of days in London. I'll have to see how it lines up with things and see if any mates are interested in coming to see a few sights e.t.c. Also I should point out that I in no way pass for eighteen. In fact, I have difficulty proving that I'm over fifteen sometimes :s
