I used to lock the butler in the freezer on the tomb raider games.
Posted by Mechabloby Nov. 23, 2009 @ 2:47 PM ESTFor half of the week I had been vomiting, very light-headed, barely able to speak and barely able to sleep. It started on Sunday, but now I'm feeling much better - just not completely yet.
Missed three days from college and should hopefully return tomorrow. I just hope I haven't missed much work.
yo yo yo.

A dystopian landscape, later to be shown as a - from a first glance - an uninhabited city. Different abandoned areas will be shown until we see our first humanoid being. Following this being, he leads us to a building which still stands. The more we look around the surroundings, there are more and more of these people rummaging through the rubble for different technical devices.
Another is shown entering a building and entering a room which looks like an old flat room from 2009 and as he sets up what he has found outside, we find out that he is just building an ariel for his television that allows him to catch re-runs of Friends on E4 or maybe Hot Fuzz on ITV2.
It's just a simple outline, but I sort of feel like that this may be my first flash made in some time. Some adjustments may be made to the concept, but other than that, what do you think of it? If you have any opinions or suggestions, I'd be glad to hear them.
edit:
Things I've got to work on:
- an enigmatic title - DONE
- the song choice - I need a song that suits the theme of the flash.
As again, if you have any suggestions or opinions, feel free to share them with me.

I'm back. I had a break from Newgrounds as my house was being re-decorated, partially re-built and we had a huge mass cleanout, too. The house just feels like a much better place, now - much more like a home. I managed to get on the computers at college whenever needed but I barely used it for the internet, to be honest.
My level has increased because I forced Leanne (Gagsy) to deposit for me all the time I was away. Within this time, I had: A holiday in Cornwall (Oh, so exotic!); a craving for gothic literature; started college and made some new friends there, too. Oh, and if you didnm't notice, I'm also 17 - I don't feel different at all.
So, I'm back. How are you?
edit: just checked the NG stored _ I want King Bastard's EP and Anarchronic.

If you enjoyed Borat, then you'll love this; if you didn't, you'll may find this to be an improvement.
What Sacha playfully succeeds with this film is playing with two major themes: showing the modern-day prejudices and idiocy of the supposedly evolved race that is man, and a rather insightful look into the world of those who are desperate for fame and are willing to do anything for it. He also manages to make us laugh at ourselves through such shocking humour. I couldn't believe what I was watching in some scenes.
You also have to give it to Sacha for having the balls to do what he's done for this film: shocked a studio audience with his controversial baby photos; offended a terrorist leader; wiggled his knob in front of the producers; make out in an Alabama cage match with another man; etc, etc - It really doesn't stop there.
On so many levels, this film is rather brilliant. He's also managed to encapsulate so many common film clichés in a nutshell, too. In my opinion: this film was worth the six quid for a ticket - a laugh a second. You can disagree with me, but as long as you are willing to specify why you didn't enjoy the film as much as me - don't slag it off until you've given it a watch, though.
