Might've just sensed the fear. :) Animal instincts and all, though then again some cats just are crazy, didn't know animals could have epilepsy too, wonder if all species can...

What a story. Good to hear the ear's still there.

-cd-

You've certainly been through some wild times and neighbourhoods in your day! XD This was a long one too... appreciate the story. It started so well too, fun times for starters...

-cd-

90s shows definitely were the shit! :D In multiple ways... don't think I ever caught a glimpse of this one though, might've been worth it...

That dog scene's bound to stick with me too now.

-cd-

Well it works. :)

Can this be used with text-based answers/codes too? If so you pretty much have an interface ready for unlimited quizzes and puzzles. Simple thing here but great potential!

Thanks for the medal.

Just missing that Cantaloupe medal now hmmm, wonder if it is entirely random or a clue in itself; there's a certain form of equation that'd award that one...

Math's never been my forte, but good fun! Nostalgic XP visuals are a nice touch too, and how the frame shakes during calculation; seemingly implying the calculator's really trying to process a complex problem, even with the simplest ones... nice comedic flare there.

Just may be the greatest calculator on NG fo rizzle.

This is more like Windows 98 than Windows 7 isn't it, wrong title? ;)

Realistic representation of the OS though! And the sounds are there... fun; nostalgic little gadget.

Very much enjoyed this one. Great conversational chemistry, great life lessons and elaborations on an unexpected field of work and upbringing too, actual theatre and acting... very cool. I probably ought do a bit more vocal warmup occasionally too hmm...

Quick wit with the Top 10 potential ways to destroy the site too, that was unexpected. XD

Glad you found your way here back in the day and continue to grace these grounds @LilSpook! Great hosting @Aalasteir. Great art @TheShokBlok.

Great episode all around.

-cd-

Aaa don't do me like that @Little-Rena! XD How and why did that potential for mutual NG OG recognition of coolness and comradery somehow wane away! Maybe it's the pineapple on pizza thing hmm...

Do appreciate the answers though, the humor, and this interview overall. Solid historical NG know-how, stories, deep-dive into culture and content and all from one of the most prolific content contributors here at the mo (you are leading the trophy count fo rizzle)!

Interesting bit on Hive-Clock history, didn't realize that was such an old account. And you've been apparently really lucky with Flash Rena! Crashes seem to happen with every project I work on, file corruptions less commonly but they do occur, bit surprising Adobe never implemented at least some auto-save functionality with the program.

In regard to that one vote per submission per account thing so much changed when they added that too, though it definitely was a good change. The order on the Top 50 shifted entirely, submissions that'd both been gradually upvoted and downvoted by the same users for years and years swapped places, and with only votes from a recent range of years now counting for all submissions, a lot of older ones suddenly had zero votes at all, especially in the AP, as old votes on those submissions weren't linked to user accounts. Took some time for all of that to stabilize.

Love the Knox throwback, I wish his movie dubs were still a thing too, on YouTube maybe they could be... they're some of the funnest content I've stumbled here to this day. And MiniClip was amazing fo shizzle, though a shame they cleared out all Flash games on their own site, they're fortunately still on NG. ArmorGames was a real force to be reckoned with too in that Flash game heyday, maybe they were they biggest two.

lmao at that Futanari discussion. XD I do appreciate your honesty @Aalasteir!

On the topic of Flash decompilers: I had to try one the other day actually when a project I was working on CRASHED on project preview. Fortunately the preview SWF was fine. Not sure how well any decompilers get around the built-in protection Flash has - you can choose to 'protect' a Flash file from import when you export it - but at least without that feature enabled this one worked really well: https://github.com/jindrapetrik/jpexs-decompiler

Though you lose directory structure with things like this, so it's harder to make sense of how everything fits together if you plan to actually do something with the entirety of it. Good for saving individual resources or getting an overview on code though.

lmao the conversation on potential gayness too! XD

Good info on all them ALTs too! Impressive number, had forgotten Noob Nation...

Nice convo y'all, and art @TheShokBlok!

So much substance in this one.

The rhythm's on point, the build, synth or strings humming with a gradually increasing buzz as you near the big drop... the keys/chords that get added in around the 44 second mark though... feel a little out of sync with the underlying beat? Maybe they really aren't, maybe that particular instrument just gives that impression; there's some kind of sonic delay ingrained in it, but it really feels to me like they're slightly off beat with each hit - a bit too late. The other layers sync well, and you really do get into the grove after a while! Good energy.

I like the instrumentation around the 4:22 mark in particular, gets crazy in a good way and builds and builds and builds... and fades nicely... and builds again! And drops nicely. The transitions are great.

Maybe the intro could be a bit less gradual, or build more notably, it takes a while before you really get into it, and the slightly off sync keys distract me a bit, other than that this is good! Proper sound quality and bass too, though a little compact possibly, I'm no production pro so I wouldn't know the first thing to adjust, but a little more space and richness with the sound might take it to the next level. Maybe you could play a bit with panning on the transitions too? Seems that might work well with this kind of music.

The style reminds me a bit of some kind of mix between Prodigy and Aphex Twin... which is always a good thing.

Very solid start! If you didn't say so I wouldn't have known this was just a preview, it plays like a full-fledged track already. :)

Functional dress. :) Looking good too!

Nice work.

Always appreciate a homage to the one and only! :D

Nice work on the gradients here too; fiery hues in the background. Good stuff.

Ooh bubblegum taste too... bubbles and jiggles presented with the best of all squiggles here!

Flawless form; classy coloring and all!
