Epic RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE from the community by morning.

I don't have to explain how the design is terrible... the cramped little comment box is too hard to read, not going straight to video pages is annoying, user info is hidden under the giant featured video... those are pretty minor, but they stand out in my mind. Glitches with video ads playing behind videos and hearing video audio on other pages are probably not fixed, plus backpaging may still do horrific things to the channels.

Anyway, I present to you... THE FUTURE!

csdthegreat: I want to make a YouTube video about the 3.0 channel beta
csdthegreat: "We've noticed a lot of people complaining about video descriptions being ignored, which is why we now have the description text on top of the video."
csdthegreat: "There is no longer any reason why changing the look of your channel should be a problem. We've designed a system to determine what color scheme would work best with your channel based on your favorites and uploads. As you can see, it has me down pretty well with this hot pink on teal color scheme."
csdthegreat: "Don't worry about ever having to scroll down to see user info - We removed the boxes in favor of a drop down menu on the featured video where you can see a user's subscribers, channel description, subscriptions, and comments."
csdthegreat: "YouTube Partners will be glad to know that video ads now play before videos, during videos, and after videos, and take up most of the video. There's also no way the user can click them away or use an ad blocker."

The amazing world of this upcoming Christmas season... you know it's true!

Tasty Static is a fantastic game. If you do not have it, get it now. You have no excuse for not downloading, playing, and loving this game. NO EXCUSE. Also note that I really thought I wouldn't like the game that much. Then I was just plain blown away by the level design, music, animation, etc. Why haven't you downloaded it yet?! YOU SHOULDN'T BE READING THIS, YOU SHOULD BE PLAYING TASTY STATIC RIGHT NOW. Oh, here's a gameplay video for you with a few of the simpler non-spoilery levels. (The later levels are so good they shouldn't be spoiled for anyone who hasn't played before.) I suggest you read the description, too. BLAH, it's going on 5 AM... Just look. And download. And play. And join the forums. And play my user levels. And enjoy. And spread the word. And use the word "and" a lot like I'm doing right now.

UNRELATED EDIT NEW YOUTUBE VID: FtB Mashfest '09: Disgruntled DJ. Great game, right? Okay, I didn't mash as much as I could've.

WATCH ME IGNORE SENTENCE STRUCTURE AND MAKE A THE TYPOS BECAUSE I'M TIRED!

So at Grandma's house, my aunt dressed up as the US ambassador and jumped out of a closet trying to scare me, Mom dressed up in jungle clothes and went out into the suddenly very green, leafy backyard (came back screaming), I had a discussion about DDR music with a friend who only plays Guitar Hero in the way of music games, some kids and their mother apparently started living there, one kid saw a piece of furniture that didn't really exist, I thought Drayne was doing a YTP tennis with me when he wasn't, I had to scrape Grandma's party mashed fish head Thanksgiving dinner off the floor (I spilled it, it took a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time), and I was playing a game I made in real life where you have to take a metal bar and place it over white Tetris blocks to make them disappear (If you hit the right button at the right time) and a Furby-sized lion who was actually George W. Bush and another political figure who was even worse (Don't know who) were sitting on opposite sides of the wall of blocks and I deleted the other, more horrible guys wall while leaving one little block for GWB to balance on (It was funny how he had trouble). The "Rate this game" bar underneath the scene was flashing gold and was up to 9.7/10 or so. I think surgery and hospitalization came in somewhere. How was YOUR dream?

Games: Missing quality controls - What, are we supposed to just deal with lag? Reviews from the future: "I can't play this game because it keeps freezing, but booooy does that cloud look nice! 10/10"

Games: Missing Menu/Reset/Edit: PAUSE buttons - I don't want to have to continue on if I mess up a perfect game. These are faster than reloading. Edit: Some people can't play 10 minute levels without scratching an itch or rubbing an eye. Include a pause button! Even in music games, you could probably rewind the song by a second and take out the notes that have already been judged!

Games: Offsync music games - It just doesn't feel right to hit notes a second after they're heard... can't go by the music. I'd probably do better with the game muted.

Games: Inaccurate hitboxes - "Oh, I have PLENTY of room to do thi- WHAT I WAS HALFWAY ACROSS THE SCREEN HOW DID THAT HIT ME"

Games: Lack of proper instructions - Don't you hate it when the author assumes you know you start the game by clicking the pixel on the inverse of x25 and y53 so you can get the umbrella you need to fly to the secret super-intelligent elephant hideout in Antarctica?

Songs: Presets - If the tools are available to you, why not go the extra mile and make the song the way it is in your head?

Songs: DAGRONFOOOOORZE - LOL FAST IT MUST BE GOOD no stop playing it

People: Fred haters - I can't go to a single submission anywhere on the internet without seeing JUNE 1ST UNSUBSCRIBE TO FRED I HATE FRED WHAAAAAAAAAAAA. Not everyone is going to like/hate something and I doubt losing subscribers is enough to upset the guy, assuming he cares about making videos at all.

People: Chain spammers - My second cousin's cat has not had explosive diarrhea due to me not pasting something onto 271 videos in 9 seconds.

People: DDR haters - You say DDR is the easiest game ever with, I force you to try THIS on a pad. That ending suuuure looks easy, doesn't it? Yeah, you idiots think these games have only 10 songs and half of them are "Barbie Girl" techno remixes. Meh. StepMania's better.

Just a small fraction of the hundreds of things that have been getting on my nerves.

Feel the BEATS.

New beta.

XceeD wins.

For those who don't know anything about this, it's F2Jam made fifty billion times more awesome. You can make your own charts, for one thing. Not by recording, like RhythmWorld (XceeD had something to do with this too...), which was a bad idea. By placing notes. Sort of like a basic version of the StepMania editor. Wait, no one here plays StepMania... Okay, it's like the Guitar Hero World Tour song maker. (I hate saying that. [offtopic]Guitar Hero wasn't the only music game out there guys. >:( It wasn't even the only guitar game. In fact, the idea may have been based on GuitarFreaks. AND IF SOMETHING IS A MUSIC GAME, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT A GUITAR HERO RIPOFF!!![/offtopic]) It has a portal somewhat like Newgrounds, too. In fact, it has blamming. Everyone loves portals and blamming. Except for someone on my IM list I won't name. I'll bet everyone's already lost interest, so just go there. :P

It's exactly like the real thing, except it's all fake.

The goal is to post as much as possible in 30 minutes without getting banned. There are 35 threads to start, and a new one appears every 1:30 to 3:30. New posts will appear every 1 to 15 seconds. Around five threads might be locked by the end of the game. Prior to the lock, the fake robot posters will flame each other, go off topic, spam, etc. with no two of the same fight/spam/etc. per game. Gotta stay believable! All posts are predetermined and relevant to certain topics... may want about 250 generic topics and 4,000 generic posts, which probably seems like more than it is. People could submit ideas. No two fake users can have the same post in a game. If you start a topic, the game will scan for important words that match things in the fake posts. Posts with similar important words would appear in your topic. It could use a similar system for people who quote you to see if a user agrees/disagrees.

I am so very tired of using my brain today.

The game checks your spelling, grammar, posting habits, words, etc. to see if you need to be banned. A warning point system could be used (but you wouldn't see your warnings...). Major rules could be worth up to five points, while minor ones could be worth one. You might be banned at 15-25 points... depending on difficulty, maybe? Yeah well, you get it, bad posts mean a mod bans you.

Well, the point is, it would look like people are actually discussing something. Maybe posts could have tags, and posts with similar tags could be in a thread together... you might be quoted if a post's tags match your words (Might have to prevent "I don't like beans..." "I like beans too!" somehow). After 30 minutes or being banned, you can submit your post count to the high score tables. UGH I'M TIRED OF THINKING. Certain topics could play out the same way every time to make it look more authentic. 50 pre-planned topics with around 10 posts each? It would have to be a huge collab or something. You can probably imagine the rest... I'm done.

I'm proud of this one. It sounds almost like it did in my head! ^_^ People seem to like it. I don't really know why, but I'll take what I can get. Is it the... um... mood swinginess of it?

Apparently, MattDaMan41's first action here was reviewing it. w00t, 4 month old account is first used to review my song. Random chance makes me feel slightly special, and I don't mean "special".

Also, if you haven't checked them out yet, Tarnished City is a remix of Brass City by mexifry895, The unnamed one has been OFFICIALLY named Experimental Head Poking because I thought the phrase fit the song so well, and blippy is an old one that people still enjoy. PEOPLE ARE WEIRD.

Um... oh, who cares... - 5 5s in a row shortly after being uploaded. Awesome. Slow, somewhat empty, and relaxed... up until about 1:53, when it all comes together. XceeD wants it in Feel the BEATS once the new site comes out. :D (AKA F2Jam)

EDIT: Um... D: What happened? It dropped down to 3.44...

EDIT 2 2/25/09: mexifry895 may use this as menu music. People must like this... for some reason...

Your First Mission - I actually thought this would get the higher score. It got a 2 as its first rating, though... >_< Oh well. It's video game music ish, hence the title.

EDIT: Huh... this went from 4.33 to 2.37... downvoters? Or musical geniuses?

Every few reviews on The Last Canopy, there's something lower than a 5.

Why?

Rate games based on GAMEPLAY, idiots. I wish there was a way to review reviews...

EDIT: WOW. Seriously guys, play a few other shmups before rating. If you give TLC a 3, you're giving EVERY shmup a 3. Is it just because it's hard?! Also, why complain about allowing mouse movement? How is that so different from moving with the arrow keys?! AND OF COURSE THE POWERUPS WEAR OFF! THE POINT IS TO KEEP ABSORBING POWERS! THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT UNIQUE AND CHALLENGING! I need to go bash my head on something.

So apparently sometime in the last few days, The Last Canopy was posted on a popular site or something... it wasn't getting any reviews and it had a "meh" score (It was 2.97 when I found the game, but I fived it every day for months until it was ~3.50. :3) but now it has TONS of reviews and gained about 0.45! :D It's a great game, and it deserves this kind of popularity!

Of course, there are still n00bz who will vote it down because they can't finish it in 99 lives mode (What the hell?! 99 Lives is ***EASY!!!!!!***) but it's got a better score, and people really like it and want a sequel.

ahbonk, if you're reading this, great job with the game. I bow down to you.

EDIT: *Slaps forehead* It got into a collection! That's why! That's AWESOME!

EDIT 2: OH MY GOD, IT'S FEATURED TOO! GO AHBONK!
