Yep.

July 5th.

It was pretty fun.

Well, at least now I can buy my own cigarettes.

So I just got home from my most recent adventure: Big Apple-con in NYC!

Overall, it was fucking tight(I didn't spend as much money as I thought I would :3) and I was really glad to meet a lot of different NG users.

Best $130 or so I've ever spent.

Day 1
Well, as far as my first time traveling solo goes, it was really awesome.

I got a bit lost getting off my train and shit, but after getting oriented and finding the place, I ended up waiting in line to get in with Afro-ninja and Krinkels. That was a blast.

On the way in we met up with the Super Milburn Bros. (Nathaniel and Bryce) and we went in.

At a first glance, the place was really fucking intimidating. It was wall to wall comics. I myself was expecting maybe a bit of Anime or Manga, but there was fucking NONE. Shit, NG was the really only non-comic thing there. Fo' real.

Anyways, we made our way back to the booth where we met up with Bob, Tomamato, Mindchamber, Swain, and our resident grumpy mexican, Luis.

As the day came and went, I met a lot of people I have worked with/talked to online.

As I had forewarned, I launched a full attack with my Rape Missiles at Nogfish, who really should have fucking played along a bit more. That would have made hilarious video >:c We hung out for a little bit and then a few of us wanted to go see the Nintendo World store and Darkshadow8181 is from Brooklyn and a basic idea where it was, thusly there was a journey. It was a bit of a letdown, I won't lie. We were really just killing some time until...

Tom and April arrived around 2 pm, so it was fun to see "the beard", seeing as last time I saw him he was bare like a babe. It was fun to play catch up. I can say that I kicked his ass at NG Rumble, which Mindchamber had set up to play with four-player action with controllers :D

Eventually, The Milburns and I got kinda bored shooting the shit eith everyone, so we stole Darkshadow8181 and went back to our appartment to listen to the Sick Animations CD Nathaniel got (it was fucking awesome, I got one the next day!).

Eventually, we left to meet up with all the rest of the guys at a kitsch little restaurant called Pop Burger. We got there a little late to the party but I ended up sitting next to El-presidente and eating most of his calamari. The food was kinda shitty, but sitting next to a slightly buzzed Tomamato and watching some shitty 80's dancing movie without any sound was entertaining. I wish I had been able to join in on the drinking, I felt a bit left out :c

Anyways, on the way out, we were all getting our money together and Tom said he was going to pick up the tab! Thanks, Tom! You're too fucking awesome!

We got back to our room about 10 pm and we all crashed.

Day 2

We woke up a little sore because we had walked all over the day before. We watch VH1's Hottest People of the 90's until about noon and then we grabbed a cab to the convention.

This was probably the most interesting day.

I think I actually gave out my signature about 5 or 6 times and I actually had a fan ask me about some stuff. I didn't even know I fucking had fans. Awesome.

As for the most part of the day, it was really a bit of a blur. I spent a good portion of the afternoon chatting with Cz-Backlash and drawing penises in his sketchbook. Eventually, Kirbopher15 showed up too and that was a blast. I spent the day sitting in front of the booth and palling around with the guys. I think I met Reyals, but he must have gotten a haircut or something. He was too quiet or everything else was too loud. I kinda ended up working at the booth a little. Just a little.

As all good things come to an end, it was time to go. Cz-Backlash, Kirbopher15 and I helped all the "official" NG representatives teardown and pack up, which was actually pretty fun. We said our good-byes, head our ways, and Tomamato and I ended up heading to Borders and getting some Manga(I convinced him to get some Negima! and I got some shit for myself). That killed about half an hour and I have another hour to wait for my train(which ended up being delayed out the ass).

Overall, possibly the best weekend ever. I only wish I had had a better camera and it hadn't been so fucking hot. I was almost constantly sweating and nasty :c

The picture is Nogfish and I after my attempted rape. Guess who's who :3

OKAY, SO SOMEBODY FOUND WHAT THE FUCKING 80'S MOVIE WE WERE WATCHING WAS, AND I WANT TO KNOW SO I CAN FINISH THE DANCE FIGHTING. POST IT UP MOTHERFUCKERS, I WANT THE SECRET.

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/88 5868

Go join in guys! Let's beat NG HQ! Stamper and Tom and Jeff and Mindchamber can suck our wangs!

P.S. This was a joke for April Fool's Day. At like 3 in the morning, a few of the Flash Regs flooded the Flash Forum with spammy collab threads, but since Tom was legitimately concerned that someone had highjacked Luis' account, he cleaned up house.

Hence why the thread really got deleted :3 It was not Jeff... that I know of >_>

So, I made a short tribute to [adult swim], Newgrounds, and Egoraptor/Metal Gear Awesome 2 ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

The only question left to ask is: When do I get my daily? ;3

Go vote five and review, I'll respond.

Just don't be a schmuck like one guy already is and NOT READ the Author's Comments.

Seriously, we write them for a reason.

Yep.

God it's fucking taken long enough, but it's finally nearing completion.

Here's the breakdown for you little shits:

- Preloader Game is finished
- Menu is about 50% done
- First song is almost 93% full (lol I calculated it)
- Intermission is ???
- Song 2 needs to be decided upon, but I have parts for it :3
- Credits will be done when the movie is completed

And I'm totally going to quote somebody great on this one and say this:

"One thing I've learned from all of my years of medical school, is that people love teasers."

So I'm going to give you that. All you little piggies can stuff your faces with this shit.

P.S. I DON'T FUCKING WANT A BAZILLION PM's ABOUT SONG SUGGESTIONS! I'LL GO ON AUTO-DELETE!

So I was looking around and I found THIS article by a guy named Jonas Falcon, who is a dumbass. I read a good portion of the stuff, but one of his posts pushed me over the edge and I had to reply. The post in question is included in quotes in my reply, as well as I answered his original complaint thoroughly. Here was my reply:

Well, I may be a bit late to the party, but I have to completely disagree is Jonas. I have the box sitting right here in front of me.

It says it's a sequel, it says it has some new features and then, in big letters it says "OVER 55 ROCKIN' TRACKS, INCLUDING:

- You Really Got Me
- War Pigs
- Beast And The Harlot
- Crazy On You
- Carry On Waywayd Son
- Heart-shaped Box
- Killing In The Name Of
- Sweet Child O' Mine
- Message In A Bottle
- Shout At The Devil
- Surrender

AND MORE!!"

Pulled right from the back of the box.

Now, what does that say to me?

It says "Hey Jeremy, these songs are in the game. You can play them."

I'll agree to that it doesn't say I might have to unlock songs, but it doesn't say that I won't have to unlock them. ALL IT IS SAYING IS THAT THE SONGS ARE IN THE GAME!

The fact that you bought the game under a preconceived notion that YOU CREATED YOURSELF that you could automatically play any song that you wanted is solely YOUR fault and has almost nothing to do with the company. They might not have come out and said "Hey, you might have to unlock this shit," but they sure as hell didn't mislead you about the songs being in the game, which is all that is says.

Point is, that you... created this idea that you would start off being able to play any song you wanted. Why? It never says anything anywhere like that. YOU thought it up, therefore YOU lied to YOURSELF. It's not the company's fault that you are an idiot who made speculations about a game that turned out to be incorrect and then got pissy about it. That's all on you, sport.

Also, I'm going to discet one post that you made that really botherd me and is pretty much the reason I'm writing this post now.

"Yes, Guitar Hero II is a GAME. A *game*. Which means, I *play*. I do not *work*. I want to *enjoy* myself. I want to do what *I* want to do." -JonasFalcon

Good. this is America. Freedom of all that and whatnot. What says you can't enjoy work? And what says that work is not play? You're purposefully being vague and it's backfiring. If you aren't enjoying the game, then get a new one. nobody is making you play it.

"You see, most kiddies under 23 don't seem to understand that people play games to have fun. Fun is subjective. However, I have a limited time to play games, so I want to get maximum enjoyment out of my gameplaying." - JonasFalcon

I really, REALLY have to say that this pissed me off. not only have you offended me as a gamer, you offended me as a person. You are telling me that because I'm 17, that I am an inadequate gamer who has no true concept of what gaming is, and that I am stupid. Well fuck you. I have a job, so I can see your dilemma in not having time to finish a game. That's your fucking problem. Find some time to enjoy a game. On that note, I have school and a job, so I have barely any time to play either, but I fucking love video games. So, before you start to insult large demographs of the population, shut the fuck up and think before you type.

"Kiddies treat these games like jobs. They don't actually HAVE jobs yet." -JonasFalcon

That's fucking bullshit. I have never once sat down and said "Okay, today my job is to play Final Fantasy XII and I expect to get paid." No. Kids see video games as another medium of entertainment. You are just a dumbass who doesn't remember what it's like to be a kid anymore. shut up.

"Dance Dance Revolution allows you to play nearly every song you desire, regardless of difficulty. Does that mean people will just want to play every song at Easy? Of course not." - Guess Who?

Dance Dance Revolution is a shitty game, first of all. Take that into note. Second of all, it's based off of an arcade version, which has very select memory, so
an unlockable system would be very challenging and pointless to make. With that much access to the public, it's acceptable to have the desired portions immediately accessible so that they make more money. Guitar Hero I&II, however, is not. It's centered around single player advancement through a tiering of levels based on developing skills and progressive difficulty. Also, I'm sure if they made a GHII arcade game, it'd have all the stuff unlocked and then they would have no career mode and it'd only be quick play, which is essentially all that DDR is. They are completely different games.

"There is a career mode. That's nice. I'll do the career mode. I enjoy it. But if I just want to play Free Bird immediately, I should be allowed to. I paid $90. I deserve it." - JonasFlacon

No, you paid $89.99 with or without tax for the game and a controller. You Don't deserve to play it automatically. If you had that, this entire article would have been about how it's too hard for you to play. The purpose of the game is to advance. THAT'S THE WHOLE GAME. Letting you have the holy grail of Rock And Roll from the get-go would defeat the entire purpose of the game.

"And this doesn't apply to Guitar Hero II only. Unlockable content used to be put down all the time as "console bullshit" among PC gamers for years. Now that consoles are trying to be computers (hard drive, internet access, etc.), they better grow up, or they'll be stuck as being considered toys by the rest of the world." - JonasFalcon

Wow. You never cease to amaze me. They ARE toys. That's what they'll always be. Look at the names; PLAYstation. GAMEcube. They're for fun, not for word processing, chart making or other shit like that. They will never make a console for the crotchety 32 year-old man like you so he can do his taxes in a fun way. Sorry to break your hopes and dreams, Jonas. And it has NEVER been solely considered a "computer bullshit". It's always been in games, even since Super Mario Bros. for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (note the name, ENTERTAINMENT). It's truly a basis for any game to progress slowly in difficulty, developing skills, and such.

In short, I already proved to you that it's your fault that you thought that the songs would be available form the start and that there is nothing misleading about the box or advertisements. That's all your fault and there is no one else to blame for your stupidity. Act your age instead of the ones that you say are incompetent and are not capable of understanding gaming.

On top of that, insulting people and calling them stupid (i.e. your reference to younger gamers) is no way to support an opinion and to get yourself to be taken seriously. all it proves is that you truly are a dumbass who deserves nothing more than to be wiped off the face of the Earth so that no drunk woman has the chance to accept your corrupted seed which would placate the continuation of the cancer of society, known as stupidity.

- Radioactive24 a.k.a. Jeremy

So, I would truly encourage people to go read this article and respond. I know it happened a while ago, but this sort of stupidity deserves action and response. Shit like this would NEVER be allowed on the BBS, right guys?

Anyways, have a good Thanksgiving and all that shit. I'm gonna go play my custom GH2 now. Peace!
