Goddamn, I really want to play dodgeball or kickball. If I ever get to meet more than one of you, I am personally organizing a game of either dodgeball or Kickball, depending on the circumstances of location and time. My inner child is screaming for attention.
LOL that would be awesome.. i wish part of the mod perks was that you are entitled to peg people with a dodgeball after banning them.

Yeah but you'd have to stand at point-blank range because your small, fragile, mouse moving, hands would only throw a ball about 3 feet.
Dodgeball
Great idea for a reg meetup. I wonder if there would be a way of doing that whenever we have the New York one.

Do it at the top of a massive skysracper. Last one remaining, wins.
We played dodgeball in PE/'gym' class in school a few times last year, it was fun while it lasted but was over too soon due to the jock/nerd imbalance.
...
Dodgeball
Sure I'll play. Mods vs. the rest... What is that round out to. 40-somethin' vs. 600+?
I think that sounds like a swell game. :)
I'd rather play football though. The image of MindChamber playin' & mowin' down everyone makes me giggle.
DodgeBall
My favorite game. Ever.
I am really good at it, and that surprises people. We played it in PE last year and I shocked the jocks with how agile I was and how good I am at catching and throwing. If you guys want after the Toronto meet if you're heading back to US through Buffalo, we might be able to play in my street XD.

Ha. Reminds me of a card game my friends and I play. The game is called Mao (like the Chinese Communist Leader). Basically, you have to get rid of all your cards first. But there are rules that are up to the dealer (who plays more like a referee), and the dealer can make any rules s/he wants. The catch is, the ruler doesn't tell anyone the rules. If the rules happen to be broken, the dealer states that the rule was broken (ex. "Failure to say 'Luis has a huge cock for a level 1 User1' after playing an ace card).
It's a bit hard to explain since I can't a) play the game with you and b) the first rule and only rule you are allowed to tell people is that you can't tll them the rules.
Regardless, we've joked about going in public and docking people cards for shit randomly, for kick.
We did it at school and got detentions for it XD
Veoh
So, if you haven't heard, Veoh is now putting a cap on videos over 20 minutes long. To watch them, you have to download their player. Yep, and it's shit too. Otherwise, you get a 5 minute teaser. That's it.
So, pretty much everyone who watches anime on Veoh is pissed (which is almost all it's users because Veoh doesn't delete anime regardless of copyrights usually, which is tits).
The best part is how some of the staff is taking it. Their main complaint is that "with so much user generated input and bandwith usage, it's getting expensive". Bullshit. Put some ads up or maybe a 10 second clip in front of the movie. Seriously, has Tom EVER fucking complained about shit like this? NO. That's one of the things that pisses me off. These guys are being fags about that.
The best part is on their forums, where I went to learn more about this shit, they made a thread to discuss. I'm going to copypasta the best thing they said. Trust me, I gave them an earful. Tell me if you agree with this:
"Also this isn't a democracy. We needed to change this and we can't just put it back. We listen to all of you but it's either this or no Veoh.com. Which one would you like?
I personally didn't ask for this and it does make my job more difficult responding and making sure this issue doesn't get out of control. It's what's needed though and we still have the largest site that allows unlimited size/length uploads to our site. Once the Watch Now problems are sorted out (our servers are taking a hit right now) the videos will still be able to be watched through our player in their full version." -Veohstaff
If it's not a democracy, then why make the fucking topic? You knew everyone was going to complain. Even most of us are being reasonable, saying make the limit 30 minutes, even 25. They had a 1 hour cap, then a 45 minute cap, and now they have a 20 minute cap. That's a big jump.
In short, Veoh is fucking themselves big time, refusing to admit it, and pissing off most of their userbase.
Discuss.

to be honest im not the biggest veoh fan, i usually watch my videos on youtube. i enjoy the higher quality video but im a huge fan of watching videos at fullscreen with the one click type thing. and to be honest i think i can remember tom complaining about bandwith, i may be wrong, but he just mentions he is going to use more ads now etc. i really hope anime people switch over to stage 6, its my FAVORITE online video place
Thats where tv-links links to alot... my favorite too everthing seems to be super high resolution which i'd rather have... seeing as i'm usualy watching a tv movie or something...

Indeed, Stage6 is decent, but so is Veoh. Plus, Stage6 is very protected and their main site is super slow; slower than myspace.
What I liked about Veoh is the crispness of the regular size movie, the fact that they didn't delete shit regardless of copyrights or licensing, and they didn't make you cut your anime into 3 parts per ep. Plus, i can download the episodes using RealPlayer, which allowed thm to be stored fo' eva.
I have an important stunning and life threatening announcement!

I'm on my last jar of pickles. :*(
Oh jesus you atually have a mullet...and pickles apparently. I thought all of that was a joke..
...gosh.

hahahahaha...no, it's real. That really is one serious mullet though, I mean if you're going to have a mullet, it may as well be intense, looks like you had the curling iron going before ;-)
Didn't you have like 15 jars of pickles? I think if I ate 5 pickles in a row I would hurl.

I had 32 and gave a few to some friends who needed it. So I ended up eating about 26 jars of pickles over the course of a month. I started eating them before they we're even ready too. :P
Anyway now onto the pickled beans which still aren't ready but who cares.
..::Dodgeball::..
I just know I'd wind up being the one with a broken nose.

Good God, don't you have anything besides bomb-shelter food? What's the deal with that?
..::mullet::..
That's a pretty gnarly mullet there, I haven't seen one of those in a long time. Having a mullet is, like, a total punk thing to have, defying all standards of decency, just saying "fuck you, I don't care" to the world. You are a bold man TheCriminalDuder.
This sig is 100% effective protection from all hexes, curses, evil spirits and bad karma. Guaranteed.

Is there anything that explains.. you? Like, what's going on there? I just can't really wrap my head around you existing in this time and space.

Explain me eh? Hmmm...
Simple yet complex. I've actually been to an Insane Asylum before. Though I don't take medication now. I can get pretty screwed up sometimes. I'm all 'bout liven' life how ya want. I'm unique compared to most poeple due to my odd behavior, hobbies, and interests. I enjoy displaying my individuality through many means. The Mullet for example: I got one as a joke and then out of randomness I decided to keep it. It worked for me.
I also grew up pretty odd too. When I was a kid me ol' man would give me a few shots when I'd screw up or do somethin' stupid. Most of my childhood was pretty screwed up. Did you ever hang kittens on a clothesline and shoot at 'em with a pillet gun? My familys had a lot of problems and lots of death. This 11th is actually the annaversy of my ol' mans death.
It's not that I live alone either. My mother and sis are here too. My sis is just usually out and rarely comes home. My mom is your stereotypical hippie... I don't know what she's doin' most of the time.
Anyway we're all poor as fuck and liven' in a crapshack living of Visa pretty much. I eat usually one meal a day and that's dinner. For the last month it's been mainly pickles, Mr.Noodles, KD, and random stuff from 7/11. I've never been good with normal jobs and my resume is far from the best. I use to deal drugs and get money for beatin' poeple up but I decided I didn't wanna follow my ol' mans footsteps so I left that world as best as I could and startin' going legit. I smoke pot and drink still though. :P
As for me on NG. I've been goin' on NG since I was like 12. I use to have an account which I did nothing on called "Ducky_Entertainment" or somethin' like that. I've always been a computer-addict but being active on sites were never really my thing. Moving on... In grade 9 I got to screw around with Flash for the first time and I had the whole class laughin' at some of my crappy lil' toons. I always enjoyed makin' poeples laugh. Helps me forget about my problems and them about theirs.
Anyway 2 years later I picked up flash agian and me and some friends got together and decided to make a flash group and make stuff and now here I am nearly a year later workin' on flash everyday with new friends added to the group. Course I haven't won any money or gotten sponsorship but it's all good. Never was for the money. It's always been about the fun and laughs. Lately I've been considerin' a career in flash since I don't really have a skill or passion in anything else.
Their we go. That should clear some things up for those who read it. Short form for those who didn't.
I's crazy!
Anymore questions? :)

Probably. I didn't log on with it durring that 2 year break and it didn't have anything on it.
Welp, I'm not sure how it ended in pickles, but it's quite elaborate, so I'll just accept it.

TheCriminalDuder for user of the month. My God child, that's a lot of sodium.
Hi there!
Veoh
On my computer, Stage 6 videos either don't load or have atrocious resolution. Imo, Veoh is a much better video player; I've never had any problems with it.
The Criminal Duder
I agree, Newgrounds has to have some kind of award that you deserve. If you're living off pickles, how do you have the money for animation-related expenses?
Taking Care of Your OMG's
I am expecting at least 30 pages of people talking about the pink color of the site, so I have taken the liberty to complete all your posts and comments for you.
"Wow, the site is pink, I think that its really (awesome/stupid), and I wish they (keep it/remove it). I thought (my computer was messed up/ I clicked a bad link/ Stamper did something wierd). Well, at least its (for a good cause/ only temporary)."
Okay, all done. Now we get the liberty of not getting tied up in the site colors.
Hi there!
pickled mullets
I'm amazed by your pickling abilities!
And the length of the back of that mullet... I've made my decision though. I will go into training and will one day rise to defeat you with an even longer mullet of my own.
pink site
I can't help musing on what it'd look like with pinky purple replacing links and text boxes...
Well a highlight colour's nice anyway. Love. Sorry JC.

Who here on NG do you know that actually spent money and bought flash?
Other then that I get/mooch free pencils and paper from classmates at school. Though I don't sketch or do concept art for animation much lately.
Yes I do have a lot of sodium in my body... Thankfully the random Dairy Queen and KD cancels it out. It think... I do have proper dinners sometimes. A free nights ago I fried up some chicken. :)
Anyway enouph 'bout me.
(BTY I found a place at lunch durring school where I can go on a computer. Hurray for random NG durring school XD)

Why would Criminal get banned. He is referring to other people using it ;D.
He just saved up his drug money and bought it.
Heh, we do care about your boobs ;).
Papervision 3D
Has anyone here played around with it? I just watched a tutorial and it's actually very easy to do. Here's what i've got after 20 mins and 35 lines of code :).
Pickles
Bloody hell, your salt levels must be through the roof :P. You should sell your bhome brand pickles at £3 a jar and change your name to 'Pickles' ;).
I'm lovin' the boobs buttons!
How do you get that to zoom, Dep?
At 10/4/07 03:33 PM, citricsquid wrote: That was cool :) Took me a while to figure out how to get it to zoom in ;D
Yeah, the camera Papervision uses seams to focalise on a point, so it screws up the camera they way i'm doing it. They'll be a way around it though, i've only just started using it.
At 10/4/07 03:36 PM, Siggy0501 wrote: How do you get that to zoom, Dep?
var scene:Scene3D = new Scene3D(container);
var camera:Camera3D = new Camera3D();
camera.zoom = 4;
function renderScene(e:Event):void
{
camera.x += stage.mouseX-(stage.stageWidth*0.5);
camera.y += stage.mouseY-(stage.stageHeight*0.5);
scene.renderCamera(camera);
}
It's very simple really.

Lol, bewbs.
Most rewarding part of Flash?
A load of my friends were really interested in playing my games today. It made me really happy seeing them enjoying something I'd made. They were even genuinely interested in how I made it. It makes the sponsorship money seem immaterial. :D
That paragraph looks like it was written by a 10-year-old, hmmm....
