Awesome. Is everything that was in it okay?

I'm thinking of getting a angry faic keychain and a tankman figure.

yes, pristine. I just wish it hadn't taken so fucking long

User Interface
Being a Mac user I've got one of those flat aluminum keyboards with laptop-ish keys. I prefer using this one opposed to all the 'normal' keyboards I use on a daily basis on University. It takes less effort to press a key which makes typing feel a little smoother. It resulted in lot's of typo's at first because I sometimes punched in two keys at the same time, it takes some time getting used to.

I quite like the Apple mouse. It has only one button for both the left click and the right click, which also takes some time to get used to because you can't right and left click at the same time. The OS was designed with this in mind though, so I guess you don't really need it. The scroll ball also scrolls to the left and right which comes in handy sometimes (scrolling the timeline in Flash for example), it gets dirty fairly easily though so you have to clean it every once and a while if you want it to keep working. There are also two squeeze buttons on the side of the mouse, those are, however, just irritating because I squeeze my mouse when I get frustrated/angry/irritated, so I turned em off.

I hate that mouse. I bought a 5-button HP mouse a while ago and use that for everything.

Zelda Movies

I swear movies surrounded around the zelda universe always seem to hit the frontpage in groups..? has anyone else noticed this? :S

User Interface

I've got the same set up as you Xeptic, and I agree, typing is so much nicer on that aluminum keyboard.

Vacation

I'm currently in Edmonton on vacation, and I now realize where people get the Canadian 'nice' stereotype from. People are ok where I'm from, but everyone I've met so far here in Edmonton is super nice. Hopefully it lasts.

Also, I realize how amazing airplanes are now. They used to be just airplanes, but after being on some, I realize how awesome they are. Very quick, and the fact that something that big can get up in the air comfortably is crazy. I think it is now my favourite form of travel.

On way to Dubai we had a nice tail wind and plane hit over 1050km/h

The "nice" stereo type is way better than the "We say eh for every second word" stereo type. Is the Canadian diversity very noticable?

I second that :]

The maker of "Doeo!" is also Swedish, too bad that "only" got Monthly 6th.

Concerts

Concerts are pretty awesome, just last night I went to Cloud Cult and Kid Dakota opened up for them

the only bad thing is that Cloud Cult are like...Really green and environmental, which is kinda cheesy

I am kinda pumped, because Tecca Nina (Tech N9ne, skip to about 0:25) is coming by soon, and I wanna see him :P He's coming with KMK (which is one of my favorite bands, and they're druggies, and everyone loves druggies!)

Charlie The Unicorn was a good movie but I think most of it's greatness was just the fact that it was Charlie The Unicorn, the iconic figure everyone loves. There were plenty of movies that deserved a higher score than it.

Monthlies
Yeah usually the original is better than the sequel, that holds true for Charlie the unicorn 2, i thought House of 1000 cats would have crushed everyone D:

Weird Statistic
Here are my two weird statistics...

About 300 people played my game in the key hours at school, while only 6 people played it at 5 PM today. It's amazing how so many more people play games inside school more than outside.

My highest view-point today was only 383 in one hour, but it was at 6 AM...What the hell?

Meh you have to keep in mind the effect of different timezones. So really those stats probably aren't that weird.

Kay, well weird was a misnomer. I meant kind of odd. The 6 AM one was expected, but I find it really funny that you can have such a huge jump of people on Newgrounds during school, but so many fewer on not playing games after.

As ten people already pointed out, when you have school others have 6PM NG browsing. Time zones man.

ok crap that didn't work

If I could transform into something, I would choose to be able to transform into and back out of a Spartan warrior whenever and however many times I feel like. Spartan warriors have superior physical strength and fighting abilities when compared to modern day warriors, because they spent their entire life training and learning how to fight effectively. Combined with modern technology, these warriors would be unstoppable. Their determination to win their battles are unmatched. I would transform into my Spartan self when the need to prove myself superior requires the need to prove myself physically, as opposed to mentally as my current self can accomplish most of the time, at least in fields of math and science. Nobody needs to prove themselves in English though, so that does not matter to me.
Spartans are the epitome of manliness. This would be an advantage to me, because my current body, while very manly, is not even at the same level of manliness that being a Spartan would help me accomplish. It is a primal urge of mankind to prove their superiority over other men. The ones who can accomplish this through physical superiority, and therefore the ability to acquire members of the female gender, are dubbed the manliest. I am a man, and therefore cannot escape these primal urges. However, proving oneself through mental superiority only is not an effective way to prove yourself over other men, because those with a smaller mental capacity (the ones who I would be proving my superiority over) only care about physical superiority, because they do not have the ability to comprehend the advantages which mental superiority brings.
There are some situation in which being a Spartan is not ideal. Such cases include working on a computer, or taking a test, or scratching ones back. The bulging muscles of a Spartan's arms make reaching those hard to reach areas even harder to reach. In this case, I would only have to say "This is madness" to transform back into my ordinary human state. If I ever need to transform back into a Spartan warrior, which should happen very often, unless I stay in Spartan form for an extended period of time, I would simply have to shout at the top of my lungs, "THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!" This assures that I can be in whatever form I wish for as long as I wish, being able to avoid the negative consequences of each shape by transforming into the other shape.
If I could find just three hundred other people who are able to transform into Spartan warriors at will, we would be able to almost ward off any Persian invasions of the United States. Granted, there have been no Persian invasions of the United States in recorded history, however that does not rule out the possibility of one in the future. It is a known fact that a Persian's one weakness is a Spartan warrior. As a Spartan warrior, I would better be able to protect my homeland from those possible future invasions.
Being able to transform into a Spartan warrior at will would be my metamorphosis of choice. The physical superiority, manliness, and Persian-repelling natural abilities would be of great advantage to me, and the disadvantages would easily be countered by being able to transform back into human shape. Is this madness, you say? Well I respond, "Madness? THIS IS SPARTA!!!!"

Lol I read all of that! AWESOME STUFF GLAIEL =D

Actually, in the Macdonald's near where I am, there was a whole variety of people working in there. Black, white, asian, islam, etc. Pretty diverse.

And delta, holy crap.

Haha, if you weren't so respected I would tell you go GTFO and stop using old memes

Anyway...That was awesome! It's fun incorporating internet jokes into school...like one time I made a powerpoint and put a bunch of lolcats, o rly's, ya rly's, and rick rolls in there...It was awesome :p

making those hard to reach places, even harder to reach

I can see that being a commercial for something, like

" are you too manly too scratch your own back? Do your muscles make those hard to reach places even harder to reach? Well then buy NG-Units wonderful backscratcher! Scientifically proven to scratch your back just enough, but not enough to hurt! Only $19.95 *Small Font* plus $5 shipping and handling"

No, but it's not like that. I'm in the biggest time zone for NG, and it can't be that like schools are three or four hours ahead, because then it's only like Greenland time or the time zone without any land. It's just weird to look at it. I'm on the EST, so that means at 6 AM, no one in the US, Canada, or South America are online basically...unless 3 AM is big for Californians...anyways, I thought it was weird, but then again I don't know how big the Newgrounds population from India and Mongolia is ;D.

The Life of a Smiley

I have decided to create a series based on the Newgrounds Smileys, as I will introduce various smileys in the series in which aren't on the thread mood section. This should be fun.

I have created the introduction for it already. Check it out! :)
