113 WAYS SCIENCE CAN GO WRONG (12/31/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
Figured I'll give you all something good to finish off 2005. Come tommorow, everything up until the 23rd
will be put in the archives.
First off, our three FULL LENGTH EPISODES OF XNC, which is more than Tomorrow's Nobodies and Waterman COMBINED!!!
Next, some links to 110 of the weirdest shit you ever done saw (but not "meaty" enough for a full Science
GOne Wrong...:
Some of my personal favorites from those are Tomacco, which would be nice, since it opens up the possibility
of combining poppyseeds and marijuana (for the ulitmate weed), chicken hypnotizing, and the fact that Jimi Hendrix pretended
to be gay.

VOICES RECORDED! (12/29/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
The voices were recorded today, and will be sent out in the next 24 hours. The animation will begin! I might
put up the BTS video tomorrow, I might save it for the DVD.

XNC BACK WITH A VENGEANCE (12/28/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
An update you say? Yes. I'm currently adding wait for it... wait for it...
SCENE SELECTION!!!
There is also a strong chance that voices will be finished tomorrow. All of the voices will be done "in
house" (i.e. Me, DJ and Brian), so no cameos...or chicks... :(

MERRY CHRISTMAS! (12/25/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
Christmas is today. I got a lot of awesome stuff (GUITAR HERO!!!) and I hope you do too.
However, never forget that you can't spell Christmas without Christ. I'm not trying be all religious, but
I keep seeing all of these commercials that even take Santa Claus out of the picture, and just want you to buy shit.
I believe this comic by Penny Arcade sums up Christmas quite well:
OH SNAP! GABE AND TYCHO GON GET IT IN DOUBLE DASH!!

SEASONS RAMBLINGS DAY 15! (12/23/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
This is my (maybe) last day before the hoildays. Today is going to be VERY SLOW, so I got a whole assload
of cool shtuff.
The comic has been REDONE in Flash. It's pretty!
2. NINJA!
3. THE TOP 10 GAMES [I PLAYED] OF 2005
Which one will be the best that I played in 2005 for the first time? Allow me to elaborate (in no particular
order):
Resident Evil (Gamecube)- I know what you're saying: DTOTHEG WAT ABOUT RE4? I haven't played it yet.
I KNOW, I'm deprived. But this game is very pretty. There is an establishing shot (I don't remeber where) where you look at
your character and looks so damn fine it puts the XBox360 to shame (doesn't take much LOLOLOL!) The gameplay is a TAD wonky,
and the puzzles may give you an aneurism, but they are so f--kdamn satisfing it's like sex when you finally solve them on
your own.
Viewtiful Joe 2 (Gamecube)- This game kicks ass in every possible sense of the term. If you think
this is some kind of gay porn game (I wish I had a dollar it was called "Beautiful Joe" by my friends), then please by an
XBox360 with Halo 2 and Madden, and kindly shut your poser mouth. The VFX still look pretty, and the gameplay (beating the
shit out of robots) NEVER gets old. The only thing I can find wrong with this game is the inclusion of playing Joe's girlfriend,
Silvia, who you had to save in the last game. She's ridiculously weak, and is only used for puzzles. As in my RE overview,
I do like puzzles, but most of the time, she's useless, and whips Joe half the time. But all that whipping is only a set up
for the smartest thing said by anyone ever: "Men solve problems through action" and then Joe's favorite superhero, Captain
Blue, lists off a bunch of reasons why there will never be a woman president.
Indigo Prophecy (PC)- This is another game that rocks out loud, but nobody buys it. The music
is wonderful, the fight scenes, unlike those in its muse The Matrix, are well done, varied and have a point. I already
have a review in the archives, but I HAVE to bring it up again. As one who writes, the story is magnificent, until it derails
about 60% in. The environment is generally tense, because even when you think you're in the clear, BAM!, you need
to fight off your furnitiure or escape from a mental institution.
Alien Hominid (Playstation 2)- COME ON! Am I the ONLY one who plays these games? There's nothing
complex I have to say about, you go around playing an alien blowing up FBI agents in the most awesome ways possible. One warning:
It's REALLY HARD. Like Ninja Gaiden for the Xbox hard. There are a few cheap shots, but even if you're the guy that beat
Super Mario Bros. 3 in 11 minutes, you're still screwed. Lots of fun, and the PDA game is addictive. To sum it up: Tom Fulp=Drug
Dealer, Alien Homind=Crack.
Half Life (PC)- Don't bother telling me 1/2 these games are over 5 years old, I played them for the
first time in 2005. This is the only game in history that has lived up to its hype. WARNING: If you want to go insane on aliens
right away, you're out of luck. The game is quite story driven and it'll be AT LEAST 10 minutes before you can shoot something.
At least you can always stare at the wall if you don't want to see something. This makes the game all the more immersive,
since like Indigo Prophecy, there's always the feeling that something can go wrong at anytime. The story, if you can
call it that, is very engrossing and you always have the thought in the back of your head I need to escape. I gotta get
out of here! SANCTUARY! FOR THE HORDE! The biggest problem with it, is that instead of giving you 1,000s of bullets,
leaving only your twitch reflesxes to save you, the game relies on ammo conservation. Luckily, the worst thing you have to
face are head crabs, which are little bitches anyway.
Anarchy Online (PC)- Another old game, but it's FREE. I have a review at Medaverse for it. The
sense of community is quite as there as World Of Warcraft, but you can ALWAYS find a party in Rubi-Ka! The leveling up can
get tedious, but once again, whatever community it has comes through in the clutch with team missions, and
selling shit to get better stuff.
Mario Kart DS (DS)- This game, beyond a shadow of a doubt, gets a GREEN (4/4). The sense of speed
in such a small console is astounding, and the second screen is generally ignored, but does have a good purpose, since
you need to master looking at the bottom screen's map to see EVERYTHING in the race and adjust your strategy accordingly. I
went back on my old N64 and played some Mario Kart, and the controls (especially drifting) are A LOT tighter in
the DS version. The online play and mission modes extend the replayability INFINTELY. Missions are addictive, as eventually
you'll look at anything (even the Grand Prixes) with lower than 3 Stars with contempt, claiming that those paltry 2 stars
are indeed mocking you. Nintendo finally bites the bullet and gets some online play, and while the system is broken, (i.e.
No lobby system) it does its best to reduce wimpery by penalizing you 3 losses if you pull out of a race early. The N64 retro
tracks are just as I remember them, and let's not forget: teh new items r0x0r.
Meteos (DS)- Let me sum it up with a quick analogy- Game Boy : Tetris :: Nintendo DS : Meteos. The
blocks you align and launch are varied and plentiful. The music is well in sync with the environment, and you can even
spread the goodness by sending a demo version of Meteos to others. Although the game is tougher than nails covered in rust,
covered in bees, the main game is managable, and if you don't rock at this game, any AI opponent above 2 stars will rape you
without lubrication. My favorite part is the HUGE combos you can rack up, some as high as launching 100 blocks with two ignitions.
Definitely the first of many killer apps (Applications which both fully display the capabilities of the system and help sell
it, Maddox) for the DS.
Guitar Hero (PS2)- This game has only one purpose: TO MAKE YOU FEEL AWWWWWWWWWWWESOME! I played it
at DLC (I might get it for Christmas) at for those 3 minutes I was playing "I Wanna Be Sedated" I WAS A ROCK GOD!!! This game
reminds me a lot of Amplitude (another one worthy of reccomendation), with note straming down a track. The song selection
is another thing that greatly ups the awesomeness is the song list. Although I was dissappointed at the abscence of Blink
182, Weezer and The Who, the rest are good, with such classics as "Iron Man" (Ozzy, pre-reality TV star/sellout), "Fat Lip"
(another solid song from the now defunct (I think) Sum 41), and "Sharp Dressed Man" (which I saw some Asian guy rocking out
and kicking ass to at DLC) to activate the "Power ups" you need to tilt it upward and set it on fire, then shit on the
audience. Or just tilit it up, I can't remember which.
WarRock (PC)- The poor man's Battlefield 2. But this WAR still ROCKs. Get it? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!one1!
There is even a levleing up system, which hasn't been implemented yet in the Yankee version. Nevertheless, still tons of fun.
I don't have to give a damn about how I write ALL of these, now do I?

They say time stretches as you approach a black hole. I find this to be bullshit. It stretches as you approach
last period on Friday. This effect is multiplied when it's the Friday before Christmas break. So, to ease that pain, here
are some links.
1. Ladies and Gentlemen, THERE IS A GOD! But he's one who's a big tease.
FRIGGIN NOVERMBER OF 2K6? BULLSHIT!
*sigh* Doesn't this guy EVER quit? It's not like he's succeeding. At the shareholders meetings, while the
CEO or whoever proposes something like whether to cut development costs or increase marketing, JT will ask "ALL IN FAVOR OF
SHUTTING THIS PLACE DOWN AND SAVE TEH CHILDREN FROM MENTALLY RAPING THEM AND BEING AN OVERALL ABOMINATION OF GOD SAY
"AYE"!" and "WHO ELSE WOULD LIKE WASTE TIME AND MONEY BY NOT RELEASING BULLY?"

SEASONS RAMBLINGS DAY 12! (12/20/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
1. I actually did this yesterday, because these things take a lot of work. To qualify, you need to be "Featured
Content" and suck out loud. But first, some honorable mentions:
Maddox, beware. Or not, this guy sucks.
-FOR PROMOTING RETARDED KIDS ON XANGA:
Everything about him shouts "PENUT BUTTA MAKZ MAH TOEZ HAPPE!!!"
-FOR POSTING 1,000 PICTURES OF THEMSELVES AND NOT ONE OF THEM HOT
The only money shot was at the end and that one wasn't even good.
(TENTATIVE LIST)
At #3 this week:
Ain't it Grand being a wigger? At first I wasn't going to include this page because it's layout was
decent, but Oh GOD! The headline font is messed up so you can't read the posts. Posts that are only ONE LINE LONG, and
don't relate ANYTHING IMPORTANT! On Dat Shyt? Too much of a wimp to say shit? Will Smith is more hardcore and ghetto
than you. KRIS friggin KROSS has more street tude than you do, and they sucked! AND had a white kid!
Another close one this week, with #1 and #2 both in Competition for "Eye Singeing Layout", but the fact
that this next entry had at least SOMETHING in it, #2:
Wow...Where to begin...How about the fact that you have a FRIGGIN HANDBAG right there? That just says "I'm
a bitch, I'm easy, but I'll still expect you to call after I sleep with you because I'm self-centered and not willing
to believe that getting into a relationship with me means I'll whip your Y-Chromosone ass for the rest of your life".
Scrolling down, you seen another Xanga-obsessed bitch wanting her to do her layout. DID YOU EVEN SEE THIS BITCH'S SITE? And
what the hell is Donkey &(<---Ampersand, bitch) Bourke? What you slept with last night? How about this: we'll
do a trade. I'll make a Xanga and let YOU design it, and I'll remake that pathetic piece of shit waste of space.
At #1 this week, a site that proves Xanga should have filters:
What seperates this piece of crap from Ms. Donkey-lover is that she doesn't bother boring us with stories
about her life, but instead decides to post random quotes that all say the same Neo-BS-Feminist "I am independent, but I
need a boyfriend to do all the stuff I don't want to do like bail me out when I fail at life and acknowledge
my existance" Another thing, these "posts" change font EVERY OTHER WORD, making it impossible to
read. The font is too light, and the BG is too white with NOTHING on it. At least some sort of design (not a .gif of
some rap artist, anime character or boy you like and even then, increase the Alpha in Flash), but nope, firing off white pixels. Her
name I'm assuming is supposed to be "Sexy Quotes"...
"&& theres nothing left;
but shattered memories,
of the things left behind *"
Yeah, REALLY HOT. Bet you heard that on Gilmore Girls didn't you?
Also, she REFUSES to post until she gets X amount of subscribers or comments. Attention Whore.
ACTUAL QUOTE: "[I hate] guys that break your heart just cause` they can"
No, it's not because we can, it's because you cry everytime we don't buy you stuff and you whine incessantly.
Did I mention the Attention Whore part? OK, ATTENTION WHORE.
2. The models for the G4 Hosts are now finished. You can see those for the Judgement Day hosts here:
Work can now begin on the Episode proper.
3. This is Seancon. I got him from the pet store Damien works at.

POST BY: DtotheG
1. The hiatus is offically over as of tomorrow. FETUSEATERS last final is today, all my big projects are
due today (FINISHED!!!) and I'm able to do actual work on XnC again. This will be the best episode yet, because I'm revamping
the XnC Engine, or the main .fla where I store character parts, and other important pieces of animation. So far, what I need
to do, until voices are ready:
1. Victor Lucas
2. Tommy Tallarico
3. Character Shading
2. SHITTY XANGAS ROUND 2!
At #3 on this week's Shitty Xanga list:
She's asian, and her name is "Flash Me Charlie"? Way to break stereotypes..."HERRO RITTRE GILR! WANNA SEE
MY WING-WANG?" said Buck-Toothed Charlie wearing his bamboo hat. Other than that, more teeny-bopper Xanga bull.
It was a close call between this next entry and #1, but #2:
This guy just screams "PHILOSOPHY MAJOR!" I bet he discusses all of these things with his "friends" at Starbucks
while drinking a $7 mocca-java-cinna-mania frappalattechino. MADDOX WARNED US ABOUT THIS GUY! THE PROPHECY IS COMING TOO!
Like we REALLY care about your opinions you read off MSNBC.com
And, for the #1 Featured Xanga That Shouldn't Be Featured:
Now, when I saw this I KNEW it was going to be featured.
LAYOUT- White BG, black/pink lettering that is TOO SMALL
NAME- sorrow_i_cry, way to cover up your emoness! I LOVE the little poetic thing with crying sorrow.
Wow. It's so original too. Like the 1,000 sad loser poets goth emo bitches before you.
CONTENT: Links to his other Blogrings, and more BS about how depressed he is.
What makes this stand out is a crappy song that sounds like a porcupine thrown on a chalkboard. I don't
care who made it, because Linkin Park is the only MILDLY good Emo band out there, and even that victory is fleeting
because they do remixes with Black men who could probably kick their ass (along with about 5,999,999,990 OTHER PEOPLE)
I was going to put this at #2 behind Philosophy Major, but what REALLY put me over the top was one of his
BlogRings: BI AND GAY EMO BOYS. I'm not hating on anyone, but let that roll through your head. Not only do you have the sheer
idiocy to admit to being Emo, but then you have to come out of the closet too? Wow. sorrow_i_cry, you continue to amaze me.
I'm sure you must have a lot of fun being a bi-emo heavy bag for the Chess Club.
ACTUAL QUOTE: "i was bisexual before it became a fad"- A fad for hot chicks? Whatever you say.

SEASONS RAMBLINGS DAY 8 FEATURING SCIENCE GOME WRONG IV! (12/12/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
1. OH SHAP! They BOTH GOT IT!
I swear, this is the LAST time I do this.
2. SCIENCE GONE WRONG IV!
Me and Damien play pool every so often. While we don't play on the "arcade style" tables (where you
pay money per game, not per hour like a pool hall), this did pique my interest.
Ever wonder why the cue ball is the only ball that returns? There is no "magic" to it, but rather simple
science. The first method is to use a different size cue ball. It's like an "automatic coin sorting" bank, because the larger
ball rolls over the smaller holes for the regular balls.
The other method is nearly twice as expensive and twice as complicted. Sometimes, the cue ball is magnetic,
and the magnet in the ball trips a sensor that flips a switch that moves a gate. This gate redirects the ball so that the
players can use it again.

SCIENCE GONE WRONG (OR GOOD, DEPENDING ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE) III (11/23/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
After you workout, instead of having a protien drink or something to that effect, beat off. A study held
during the 1970's showed that men experienced a rise in Testosterone Levels after masturbation. This is actually good (for
men) since the Testosterone increase libido and protien synthesis. The former has nothing to do with my thesis, but the latter
is essentail to build muscle, since protien is the macronutrient responsible for tissue repair, construction and maintenance.
Be forewarned, however, that your sperm contains protien (to make it swim) and water, so, with everything in life, don't
overdo it.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
The next update you see on this site will be Friday with the release of XnC Ep. 4. I'll have the .swf, the
forum avatars and wallpaper all ready.

5. I saw the Viewtiful Joe Anime this morning... Wow....Some of the things I liked about the Game Viewtiful
Joe stayed, like the action and a "wacky" sense of humor.
The worst part: THE VOICES!!! It's not like One Piece or Naruto where these people had to cast voices, THEY
COULD HAVE EASILY USED THE VOICE ACTORS FROM THE GAMES!!!! Sylvia's voice was good, and this Black chick with her breasts
almost showing (but nothing "special") was about as good anyone else could have done, but Joe...
My God, he used "dude" and "like" every other word, and he had a little bitch kid "Captain Blue Jr." (not
a son, I don't think) sidekick. The story is essentially the same with added filler considering it's medium, and I approve
(cept for the bitch kid). Also, the opening doesn't give you an anuerism like One Piece's, but instead of starting at Episode
1, they begin at 5 and they fill in the rest of the story with a backstory narrated by Joe. It's a lot better than "rapped"...
My review, if you liked just the gameplay of Viewtiful Joe, see the anime. If not, check it out, it's pretty
good. However, for those of you who liked the WORLD of Viewtiful Joe (characters and story) and thought "This should
be a cartoon", then you'll cry "NOOOOOO!!!". In that case, wait for the eventual magna.

SCIENCE GONE WRONG II (11/10/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
Brought to my attention through ExtraLife (http//www.myextralife.com)
Remember that Episode of South Park with the world-wide recorder concert? That "brown noise", is actually
a real thing, not just something the writers made up.
The "Brown Note/Noise" is a sound at a very low frequency which makes one's sphincter open up, causing them
to crap themselves. It is rumored to be between the frequencies of 5 and 20Hz, below the audible range for humans (which is
20Hz).
This thoery was tested on the shows Brainiac and Mythbusters. Both experiments disproved
this theory, however, the methods in the experiments were flawed. They were either too high in frequency (in the case
of Brainiac) or not testing the enitre inaudible spectrum (in the case of Mythbusters)
I think it is possible, because I ALWAYS have to go to the bathroom everytime I play the Servanaya: Surface
level in Goldeneye:007. That, and since music can relax oneself, there could be a frequency in which the sphincter
relaxes and lets the poo go.

SCIENCE GONE WRONG (11/7/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
I figured since this IS a science based web cartoon, I should post some science factoids. I couldn't find
anything interesting on a whim, but here's something I found via T-Nation (weightlifiting site):
At first glance I thought it was taken by 3 kinds of people:
1. Gay Metrosexuals (sorry for the redundancy)
2. Idiots who have no idea of how disproportioned it is.
3. Sumo wrestlers or people who want to be character models for "Poorly-Rendered N64 Sumo Game"
Synthol is composed of 85% medium-chain fatty acids,
7.5% painkiller, and 7.5 5 benzyl alcohol. It is injected deep into the muscle where it is enveloped by muscle
fibers. Part of the injection is metablolized (roughly 30%) and the majority (70%) lingers in the muscle where it'll
break down over the next few years.

ROBERT DIMORRO'S MYSTERIES... (10/25/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
1. Robert DiMorro is the
name of the detective in a book I'm writing. Just a heads up, bitch to me to write it.
2. Zach Godin (HiddenLegend)
has gone missing. Normally, I'd assume he's ignoring me, or isn't working on it, but after some initial sleuthing, I found
that his last BBS post was 8/31/05 12:16 PM. It's been 1 1/2 months. 14 more days until I really get scared, because some
people go vacation for that long.
His last Flash movie was posted on 8/13/05 at 02:25 AM.
http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic.php?id=367242
I will continue working on the episode without him.
3. Dear ; Friend,
First, I must apologize if my mode
of first contact is not acceptable to you and also solicit your confidence in this transaction; this is by virtue of its nature
as being utterly private and top secret. Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive
and worried. My Name is Sylvia Litana,I am the only dauther of late Mr. and Mrs Frederick Litana who was assisinated in 2002
during a political unrest that engulfed my Country Zambia recently. They where shot to dead my unknown Person(s) who where
accusing him of funding and sponsoring a factional Political group with his money. So in respect of this they came to our
House and shot everyone dead including my two younger Siblings by then I was not at home,But fortunately my Father did not
die instantly that day. It took him three Months later after that incident before he finally gave up the ghost.
Before
the death of my father, in October 28, 2002, in a private hospital, he secretly called me on is bedside and told me that it
has the sum of five million, five hundred and thousand United States(USS5,500,000)dollars he deposited it in a Finance and
Security company here Dakar Senegal. with my name as next of kin to the fund. Now, after the recent crisis that burst up in
my Country I ran to Senegal where my father deposited the fund and seeked asylum, that is how I now went to stay in the United
States Refugee Camp. So that is where am currently staying for now. But the problem am encoutering now is that when I went
to the Financial holding company to withdraw the money. I was made to understand that with my status as a refugee I can not
be able to clear the fund,but can do so with the help of a forieng partner. They told me that the local law hear does not
Permit a refugee to operate any business atall, nor transact a fund of such magnitude. So please dear, I am pleading, if ou
can help me and stand as my nominated next-of-kin and withdraw the fund for me (USS5,500,000) to your account in your Coutry
and I will be very glad to
Please once can help me with this project, I will offer 15% percent of themoney then after
I will come over to your Country to start up a new life. And also go into any profitable business you will advise me to do.
Please you can reply me with this alternate email address as it is the most confidential for me at the moment. syl_litana16@yahoo.com
Sincerely,
Sylvia
Litana
Sure! I'll go to a foriegn country and get your money that might not be there!

GET INDIGO PROPHECY (10/11/2005)
POST BY: DtotheG
Seriously, you should.
The controls aren't quite as smooth on the PC, because they were designed with the PS2 in mind. The "action/Simon
Says" levels work fine on the PC, and adventuring is OK at best, when there's no time limit. One part the PC trumps the PS2
version is both the graphics and the "track and field" minigames where you mash the left and right arrow keys (it's the L1
and R1 on PS2. WTF?)
This game is 1000% better if you view it as a movie as opposed to a game. The control interface
is minimal, with the only thing being the icons at the top (where you move the mouse in the intended direction) and your "Mental
Health Meter" at the bottom.
While the plot is engrossing at first, it falls apart and speeds you through the last
1/3 of the story (like *Ahem* some romantic endeavors...) But the first part, where the police (who you play as) are trying
to indetify Lucas Kane (the protagonist) and he is trying to find out what happened to him.
As for the music, it's
appropriate, and I came to the realization that I love Funk Music. It's there because there's a black guy in the game and
brothas LOVE 70's Funk!

2.Fahrenheit/Indigo Propehcy iz teh BOMB! But, I can't get
it to work on my PC. Maybe if I rename the files...
3.Progress on XnC 4 is going along better than I had hoped. How
I animate is first, I do the lipsync. Next, I do the motions for each character seperately, as I use the Graphic symbol tool
so I can preview in real-time. Then, I do backgrounds and synthesize all the elements from each scene (this means adding lipsync).
Finally, after all the scenes are finished, I go back and fix everything up. Usually, I watch and fix the movie about five
times before submitting to NG.

Work on Episode 4 is coming along fine. I had to do a couple character models from scratch, but they're easy. However, due
to the increased difficulty of some of the scenes, I JUST FREEZE! But a sip of seltzer and just getting started is enough
to cure that.
2. Indigo Prophecy came out yesterday, and I can't WAIT to get my hands on it. It's gotten good reviews
from IGN, Gamespy and Gamespot. Now all I need is X-Play to give it a good score to cement it.
