Did I ruin the moment?

I have a habit of doing that!

Yeah it was swapped out, UK meet is a huge expense for me, as easy as a drive to NY might be I have to let that sit for a bit, besides I was waiting for some people to get back, JohnnyKrysys, Senti and others.. I'll make it happen at some point...

RE: Meetup Tour
Sometimes you just gotta go balls out as Tom would say. I think its easier for me to manage these dumb meetups because I've ran into so many NG users already and the whole meeting someone from online no longer makes me nervous. I've been raped so many times by you strangers that I've developed a sense of acceptance :(

Anyway with all meetups my goal is to mainly just mingle, its kind of motivating and inspiring to go home after a meetup and know that the site that you are part of is made up of really creative people who are your friends or something.. something sappy like that

Thanks for the correction Kirk, where is the list of most viewed that everyone seems to know about but me? I guess I could have guessed the porn woulg have been the most viewed, I just never looked at how many views AH had and it really surprised me, 16 mil is a lot of views.

That was the second song that popped into my head upon reading "Boston meet up". Interestingly enough, both of those songs have been featured on Scrubs.

I graduated from high school in '05, and I've been working till now. So no exams for me.
Congrats on getting into uni, though! I'm going to Concordia University in Montreal this fall, which was my first choice too.

btw, there should be a Montreal meetup. it's right between t-dot and boston. :-D

Alien Hominid has 16,225,509 views, that's insane. I don't think there is any flash on newgrounds that would beat that. And it has like 275k votes, and 12k reviews. Crazy.

It's because AH is the only really big flash cartoon/game that has had any REAL publicity.

Plus, it was made into a console game.

This makes me wonder, will they make a flash version of Castle Crashers?

A flash castle crashers would be awesome. It'd be cool if they ported it to the PC for those of us who dont own a 360 yet but love the game.

Different Styles

Lately I've been tryin' out different styles of art/animation. Like Clocks, Madness, Pico Style, etc. To my surprise I hate doin' clocks, love doin' madness, and am still experimenting with the Pico style. I'm also somewhat developing my own style by combining parts of others.
Anyway does anyone else find it fun trying different styles out?
Also: RAWR! My Madness Preloader. ^^

School

School starts for me tomorrow... I'm pissed. Have any of you taken AP US history? I'm thinking about dropping it but I wasn't sure... If you have did you ever read Founding Brothers by Joseph Ellis (sp?). I have to write a paper about the thesis and don't know what the thesis is... any help?

What grade are you in, becasue I am also going into AP US history, all my other subjects last year I got like C's and D's, but in History I got 2 100's out of 4 semesters, so I guess they thought I was good.

I'm as one of my teachers described it, 'A Lazy Genius'.

GROUP HUG!

But really, I think it'd be cool to put faces to the names and movies and personalities. I'd have no qualms meeting up with people from this site, but I KNOW I wouldn't be so willing to meet with people from some other sites I've frequented.

Bioshock

I know this isn't a place for game discussion, so I will just say this: if you like videogames at all, and have a decent PC, I recommend downloading the 1.8GB PC demo of this game. It is simply amazing. Hell, it might even inspire you to do something Flash-related :P It's definitely worth a look.

Bioshock

Played it for an hour on 360 today. It was very fun. Another win for Microsoft. And a win for Microsoft is ultimately a loss for Sony. > : )

School

You start already? I dont start for another couple weeks. Hopefuly i have what it takes to be a real artist. Have been doubting myself alot lately. : /

its funny because i started 2 days ago and classes were cancelled because of the hurricne coming to our coasts :). I <3 Dean for that, even if it caused billion dollar losses in jamaica and haiti.

Anyone else try out for the Bytesize? Or felt the pain of rejection? :'(
It's not a big deal to be rejected but the publicity would've been a nice.

I feel sorry for SpamTheWeb now, since Denvish took his off this has been the most popular to date. But that one will probably leap jump over SpamTheWebs due to it's professional look and 7mb limit.

Nah dont worry, im gonna redesign mine so it looks better as well. So it will have better coding and better design.

I still cant believe Blah159...

My brain hurts :( once every 15-30 mins I feel this weird pain in my brain behind my left eye. ahhh

Lol what's with all the upload sites popping up right now?

I just registered swful.com the other day, still need to make it work though. Especially for security issues, I don't want people getting around my crossdomain file by uploading bad swfs to my site.

Anyway, I got 200 GB of disk space and 2 TB of bandwith which should be enough for ng purposes.... now I just got to make the uploader

Clever bit of wordplay there... turning an awful word into a place which will end up being full of SWFs. I like it. Can't think of anything else that would work as well as that.

Typo of Doom
I give the crappy Flash adverts that spawn up here a lot of leeway. They slow down my postage time at home on my lousy single processor 2.4, but I don't complain. They're trying to sell me products I don't like, but I don't complain. They shout "hellloooooooOOOO!" loudly or buzz inscenantly and try to sell me into Ipod Matrix schemes but I don't care...

But damnit - I wish they learned how to spell!

I leave for college today. I'm nervous. I'll keep in touch with you all when I can. I wish you the very best.

That means that you have cancer :D or perhaps it's just an outbreack or a penicillin based mold ;3

Bytesizes

Back when I was still heavy into NGC, I made one for us, but since Tom didn't want shit that was site-promotional, it got dropped. It was decent for being made in like, 2 hours on and off. I'll try and find it.

NGup

Thanks for that noodle. I was really heart broken after Denvish closed, but, que sera, sera.

Good luck. Hope you still find time for the odd post :).

File Upload

Nice site ;). Looks very good, although the design could do with some tweaking, i like it. I'll use it when needed, and spread the link around.

Stereotypes

Has anyone ever seen a show when British people have been shown to be posh, ugly and rich? Or a show when americans are dumb? Anyway, i was just wondering (for all you americans), does anyone over the pond really see britian as a posh, tea drinking nation? Or is it just Tv.

I expect it's just how we see Frenchies. We all know the stereotipcal French man with a striped blue shirt, a moustache, a funny hat and holding cheese and wine... But we also know french people arn't really like that.
