My name is Billiard Ball 10 Clock and I am a victim of net neutrality swordsman.

fixed.

also: did we win this ''net neutrality'' thing, or is the internet's freedom doomed?

Tom has done a couple of interviews about flash's "end of life" and the news post on NG right now is addressing it
Worth reading if you give a heck

indeed, its very interesting.
it saddens me to see flash+flash sites slowly reaching the ''end'' of their ''lives'', because flash movies+games are the best thing that one can see on the internet.

if all the flash movies+games are gone, whats going to happen?
there will be only cat videos, memes and porn in the internet to watch, and while porn and memes are good, i still think that the internet will be a poorer place...

it good that he seems optimistic about the transition, which was underway well before the announcement

also he's totally right about HTML5, fuck focus-stealing ads 100%
fuck autoplay sounds fuck full page ads fuck count down timers fuck shit ass page-blocking bullshit on the tops and bottoms of every goddamn mobile site taking up two thirds of the screen res

[RenegadeClock]

fuck ass fuck shit

[BilliardBall10]

i honestly hope that newgrounds will make the transition between the old flash format and the new HTML5/swivel-flash-to-video formats...

newgrounds is a great place, you guys, and it must remain alive.

PS: did anyone attend the game-con? tom fulp showed his newest game in there, ''nightmare cops''.

[PhantomCatClock]

Oh, actually, I was going to bring up, in a serious way, rebanning BB10 after Clock Day because it's a little close to The Big Day and I know that's an even bigger deal to him than it is to some




but you know, he's probably dead by now so never look back

[Slurpee]

do you guys remember this weird ass Zelda commercial?
[u2]f5Mf2mp6fms[/u2]

I love it so much, you guys

I swear, there's something in the aether, somewhere between here and welcome to night vale and glitchhikers and the nightfly and o children and the mushroom cloud and this scene from community that I can't find in English sorry- a lonely radio broadcast reaching out to solemn and desperate hearts at the end of the world, and I just, really, really want to lie back and listen to it, this thing that only exists in idea space in my head, I feel like, it'd be really relaxing for some reason

[PhantomCatClock]

IT'S THE LEGEND OF ZELDA AND IT'S PRETTY RAD
THOSE GUYS FROM GANON ARE REALLY BAD,
OCTOROKS, TEKTITES, AND LEVERS, TOO
BUT WITH YOUR HELP, OUR HERO PULLS THROUGH

[Slurpee]

I forgot to mention a clean, well-lighted place

[Slurpee]

oh and kentucky route zero, duh

you know how people say they were this or that in a former life, alexander the great or an animal of some kind, or like we've got this idea of "old souls" - people who seem to be wizened and mature beyond their years like they somehow learned a lifetime's worth of lessons before they even got started-, or "lost souls"- people who seem to just be drifting along without purpose or attachment- or a "free spirit", or just, whatever, y'know, shit like that, and it's all just sort of this way of encapsulating this ethereal sense of a person's meaning, the relationship that they're naturally fit to have with the universe, and the way it can just sort of shine out of them like a light?

I think my version of whatever that is, whatever the fuck a human being's essence is and where this sense of self comes from, I was meant to lie down on in the dark, tired but not sleepy, and quietly, comfortably, peacefully wait for the sky to drop. no panic. no hurt. just the end. that's my function. I'm a rock somebody will be able grab onto at the end of the world that they can use to steady themselves and that'll make them feel at peace as they pass into oblivion. not saying it'll happen, maybe I'm just like an emergency empathetic tranquility ration that'll never have to be opened and that'd be ok too but until then I just exist in this moment between between lying down and always having a little bit further I need to go. do you know what I mean? will anybody ever know what the fuck I mean?

[Slurpee]

unrelated, this was another good scene from that episode of community
[u2]F4ya8Jx577o[/u2]

the whole episode's good actually

People at work think I'm joking when I say I feel dead inside (except my boss, who has recommended a doctor) but like, I don't even want to feel better. I've been happy. It's not worth it. Maybe I just need the sky to fall.

[RobClock]

I get called an "old soul" a lot but I think that's just the polite way people publically call you a curmudgeonly asshole

[Slurpee]

haha why do you guys have a popsts and ghosts stat

[Slurpee]

I get called an "old soul" a lot but I think that's just the polite way people publically call you a curmudgeonly asshole

I don't think so I usually think of it as somebody who knows what matters and can rise above the trivial

hm
would you say the feeling is closer to contentment, apathy, or acceptance?

I don't want you to feel dead inside it sounds sad

[PhantomCatClock]

I didn't actually write "feel dead inside" at first but then I altered it to be less sad because I worry about you, Slurpee. I want you to be firing on all three cylinders as much as possible.

diablo 3 is like the older games but if your ISP has an outageâ€"reported on DownDetector, so you know it's not just youâ€"for less than six minutes, you lose hours of progress in your single player game

Hey has anyone played Kerbal Space Program? I've tried it a few times but somehow over the last week it just completely sucked me in. I managed to land on the moon...just baaaarely...and I'm creating a huge and terrible space station.

I just had my two scientists die as they were swinging around the dark side of the moon - there was no solar power in the moon's shadow, and all the science experiments drained the batteries until the oxygen cyclers shut down. When the ship swung back into sunlight, there was no-one left to see it.

You know how you can kill a sim by dropping them in a pool and removing the ladder? This game takes that feeling to a whole new level.
