Well, Things have been going alot better for me as of late.

Just been working my ass off, car has been working fine, the girlfriend has been real good to me, and I've been playing alot of Xbox, so that always makes me happy. On a side note here - Grand Theft Auto 4 is a great game, storyline wise, but I've always had a problem with the controls for some reason. Just never been able to get a handle on them. So, that's about the only thing that gives me problems. Aside from all that jazz, I've been playing with DanPaladin and a few other NG users, and that's off the chain. Smiles all around. Although, I do fucking hate the AI in the game. That's all I'm going to say about that.

As for Newgrounds news: not really much going on here. I'm back to a garbage whistle again, only due to my self-negligence, and listening to people in Rage's forum that don't know what they are talking about. I now know what an abusive review is, so I don't flag the wrong ones anymore, and hopefully I will be back to normal sometime in the next month, if I spent more time in the day on here. Since I'm only on at night though, that may be a problem. I also finally managed to make Level 11 and Police Captain, so that's really cool. Got to love that additional 14%, you know?

That's it for an update for now though, maybe I'll post more when I've got something. Who knows - it's been 3 months or more since my last post, so don't really know when I'll be back to post again. Just be sure to catch me on when I'm blamming/saving or checking for good flashes (still waiting for Mastermind 4!)

So, "Valentine's Day for Kusanagi version Deluxe" goes as follows:

-0730 HRS, get off of work and go home.
-1430 HRS, wake up and play BioShock
-2200 HRS, get off my ass and go to work.

The only thing that got some love from me today was my Xbox360 and NewGrounds. That's it.

God, I love this day.

Speaking of NG, a few days ago I finally managed to get my whistle back to normal (hopefully Bronze soon), tomorrow I will go up to Level 7, and be a little bit closer to my next rank (even though 1,000 B/P is a long time away), and I'm awaiting Metal Gear Awesome 2 on the 19th.

That's about all I got - spammers, keep doing your thing, cause most of us here that aren't newfags enjoy the points!

- Kusanagi -

Looks like I'm going to have a Garbage whistle forever, unless it ever gets downgraded to COMPLETLY BROKEN.

I swear, that a flash I saw today was stolen, it even had a copyright notice on the damn flash itself, I go to whistle, and it gets through. Either no one really gives a fuck about plagurism these days, or hell if I know. To whoever the original artist of that piece was, at least know (and apparently only on this page here will you ever know), that I stood up for you and failed.

Thanks Newgrounds for supporting plagurism for little snot-nosed punks and people with insatible egos looking to take credit for other people's works. =)

OK, so I only get on NG (most of the time) while I'm at work while most of you are asleep, so most of you probably won't even get a chance to read this mini-rant, but what the hell - I've got to let it go somehwere.

First off, being up this late/early at work, I don't get to see alot of really good submissions, aside from the new Madness 8 that was just put up by Krinkels. Everything is usually people testing things, spam flashes, and the like. Where is JohnnyUtah or Egoraptor when you need them? And another thing, why is it when you really think a submission should be blammed out of existance, it manages to rise from the ashes like a horrible, deranged phoenix and live to fight another day? *sigh* I mean, how DO these things make it through? This also makes me quote my last news post, where I managed to obtain the legendary "garbage whistle" for doing what I thought was right. Apparently, I was wrong. Maybe someone can explain how that system works to me so I can at least clean that up.

Which kind of leads me to this: if anyone reads this years from now (if I'm still around, manage to get a high rank, or ever questions my stats), KNOW THIS. I will NEVER, and I repeat and underline this for effect, NEVER pad my stats or give good judgement on a horrible or racist flash and vice-versa. If I know something is going to pass due to the high amount of users that somehow manage to pass flashes that you KNOW shouldn't pass, I will still blam it. If I attempt to save a flash that may get blammed, I'm still going to vote good regardless. I will not just vote the same as everyone else. It's not my style. I vote how I feel the submission did, not to match the majority to "get my stats up". This will never change.

Here's another thing to think about: why do users post "series" of useless flash animations? Some of the worst I've seen that should be gone but manage to stick around are the "Catch/Release them all in XXX days", anything by Fleek/Fag/"insert racial slur here", people that post those damned "Jem" videos, people that make "flashes" that are nothing but submissions that should be on the Audio portal, and there's plenty more to bash. I mean, I understand the conecpt of "Everything by Everyone", but there are still guidelines that most people either disregard or completly ignore. I'd figure the admins would do something about it, but I know they don't spend ALL of thier time on this website, or they would go bat-shit crazy, that's for sure. Just a little moderation would be nice though, now don't get me wrong, I'm NOT saying you AREN'T doing your job, and I don't even know if I could handle the workload you people go through. I just wish all the extremist-racial shit would go out the window. The other stuff is bothersome, but I don't quite understand why some people enjoy it. I mean, why would you see a positive review on something that serves no purpose? Seriously?

Secondly, why am I even at work when we don't have the rights and permissions to do what we need to do? (Sorry, I'm a computer tech) I could be at home playing Xbox 360 and fucking around doing whatever I want to do, and you should be paying me regardless! If you make me come to work to do ABSOLUTLY nothing, then W-T-F? I just don't get it.

Also, I'd like to take a second out to see if anyone else here had heard of Project Chanology? If so, I would like to hear your thoughts (intellectual, mind you - not OMFG, CoS TOM CRUISE CONTROL blah blah blah, etc.) I want to hear real opinions from smart people, not just goons, /b/-tards, and the like, although I will accept comments from you, I know there's some level of intellect from you people, so speak like you've got a brain. You have to have one to use the internet, so come on. Really.

Well, I suppose that's it for me, going to see if there are any other submissions I need to save/blam in the next 2½ hours.

P.S.: I'm sure there are misspelled words in my post, so if you're going to leave a comment on that alone, please don't bother. It only goes to show just how out of your way you will go to attempt to annoy another NG user.

No, not mine. I don't make flash.

I was referring to the recent submissions here at Newgrounds, and how they have been getting more pointless, racist, and offensive over the past few weeks. Add the fact that every other shitty flash is a Jem meme, and it just makes it all the better.

I suppose the only reason I'm making this is to complain about how I wanted to kind of "clean up" the site by blamming shitty submissions, but somehow they just get through, and now I have a "garbage-class" whistle to prove it. Just goes to show what the power of one can do.

Not really sure why I'm bitching about it - it's just something I'm doing while I'm at work, bored as all hell anyway. Just something to bitch about is always fun.
