Off to Prague I go | ||

But before I do... Aliens from Planet Dave has been appearing on loads of websites that I didn;t even know about. Which is fine by me, hey free publicity! Here are the ones which have been pointed out to me so far: http://lapinvv.blog3.fc2.com/blog-entry-542.html http://www.me4pm.co.uk/index.asp?edition=24 http://oa.enaresh.com/ (where for some reason it is rated 16+)
If you have seen any other websites that have linked to AFPD or any of my toons, contact me leo.humphries@gmail.com.

IMPORTANT NEWS
I have exceeded my bandwidth! That is, I have exceeded my limit of website activity, the upshot of which is: I've been getting a lot of visitors to my website. Which I'm very very pleased about. That means I can't add anything else to my site until the 12th of September when it gets reset, but that's ok because I wasn't really planning to add anything during now and then. Besides, It will die down when AFPD becomes old news.
That is all :)

Game score: 3.93 I have decided to take drastic measures and take away all instances of my msn messenger hotmail address from this website and newgrounds and any others that spring to mind. This is because I'm getting loads random people adding me every day, which is a bit much. I would love to be able to have a chat with the "fans" but I use msn to talk to my friends. Not that I don't like you guys who add me, indeed I am very flattered and slightly taken aback by how much you seem to want to talk to me, as I type this I just got an email from Lisa in Germany (hi!). But being bombarded with convos the minute I sign on msn is a tad much. So I'm taking my hotmail address off of everything. I'm sure if you look hard enough you may be able to find it, so please... do not. Because there is now an alternative. If you send an email to leo.humphries@gmail.com, I PROMISE you will get a very speedy nice personal reply from me. That is a promise. Oh, but not during next week because I'll be internetless then. Everyone who has added me before now, don't worry I won't block you or anything, but please don't be offended if I ignore you sometimes. If you really really REALLY think you need to have a chat with me on the msn, ask me nicely by email (leo.humphries@gmail.com) and we'll see. Obviously, if you are actually a mate of mine from school or whatever feel free to add me to msn. I hope I don't seem too stroppy by saying this. In other news, a new game by Dan will be added to Dan's Corner soon!

Updates in general | ||
|
|
The game now stands at 3.86/5.00 :) Also, a lovely person has emailed asking if Aliens from Planet Dave could be put on his website, http://www.zonogames.com. Hoorah and hooray. I'm having a break from flash at the moment, but there'll be plenty of things to come in the near future. Also, regard the new donate button... I won't hold my breath...

Update on the game | ||
|
|
I did not expect it to do so well to be honest. The only bad review I've gotten so far is from some homophobe who didn't even play the game and didn't get my 'naked pics of me on my website' joke. Anyway, it is now on 3.83/5.00 which is yayish. It is now playable on my website too.

Get ready because Aliens from Planet Dave has landed! | ||
|
|
Watch it here. Allready the rave reviews are pouring in: ' One of the best games on NG!' 'omfg that was so 1337 god is smiling down on you and any one who doant vote 5 will burn in hell and be raped by hitler and bill clinton at the same time while sucking saintins c*ck' I'm smiling from ear to ear because it has at the moment a score of 3.55/5.00 which is pretty good considering the highest score ever echieved on newgrounds is 4.47/5.00. Remember to vote 5 and enjoy!

Some new website stuff | ||
|
|
I made a spady favicon for my website, which is nice. For those of you who still use rubbish browsers like AOL or Internet Explorer, a favicon is the little icon in the toolbar of your browser which goes next to my web url. Also, if you're browser has tabbed browsing it have the little picture in the tab. If you're still clueless visit these websites. My game is oh so near completion, and I think we're looking at tuesday or wednesday for releasal. I have been bombarded with spam, and I have a sneaking suspicion that it has something to do with all the free stuff I've been sending off for. Speaking of free stuff, someone from Canada has told me that I've inspired her to send off for free stuff that can only be sent off for if you live in the US or Canada! Great! Or at least, it would be if she let me include them in my collection. But no. She's starting her OWN collection and possibly a website. I'm not usually particularly competitive, but this simply won't do. This is war. I've seen a list of the stuff she's sent off for. It's worrying. It's more than what we've got. However, I am a man with experience in this field, and I know for a fact that only about 60% of what you send off for actually arrives, so with a bit of luck, she will not beat us. That said, I'm still sending off for as much as possible. I will not be out-done. On a lighter and less psychotic note, check out this email I just got from 'Adult Friend Finders' http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/3135/friendfinder0zj.jpg Now, I think you'll see quite a strong contrast between the couple pictured on the left and the people pictured on the right. But hey, at least it isn't false advertising.

I'm over the moon. I just keep going to over and over again to make sure it hasn't somehow disappeared. So far, it has not. *checks again* yep, still there. So next time you want to visit my site (and don't get me wrong, I can't imagine why you would) use www.leo-stuff.com, to make me feel that is was a 20 something quid well spent. Ta! |

Update on the domain | ||
|
|
It appears that the reason they cancelled the domain was because of suspected fraudular activity - in short, I, Leo Humphries, have been suspected of fraud! Awesome! I emailed a lovely lady called Laura, who is the fraud analyist for freewebs' domain registrar and she told me that it was because the order appeared to come from a computer from outside of the UK. Which means that AOL is to blame, not freewebs at all. Freewebs have, in fact, been great about it - they have fully refunded us (in fact, we made a profit of 5p!) despite having a suspision that we are conning them, and have said that if we try again, there should be no problems long as we send photo ID, which I have. I'm ordering it again on monday, so maybe (just maybe) you'll be using leo-stuff.com by tuesday. Which means that you'll be seeing me and my spade beside these posts again.

A bit of a moan :( | ||
|
|
|
But before my moan, some good news: Stick Vs Human 6 (yeah, we stuck with that name because we are all unimaginative fools) is coming along nicely. Joss, Dan and I have filmed it all, and there's even a little cameo from Mr Friendly (my cousin). I've animated quite a bit of it, but it will take a few more weeks. And now my moan, and it concerns freewebs domains. So I bought the domain leo-stuff.com on monday. At least, I thought I had. I followed the instructions to the letter, and when I ws told 'Success! Your domain has been registered and attached to your freewebs account! Wait 24 hours for it to work!', I was put under the (obviously mistaken) impression that the registration had been a success, the domain had indeed been attached to my freewebs account, and that I just had to sit tight for 24 hours and wait for it to work. Perhaps you'll forgive me for thinking that it was going to work. But no. Work, it did not. Of course, It's obvious what happened - I must have missed the small print which said "It's been a success, hoorah! Oh, but uh... we'll just pretend you don't want it." For the next day I got an email, the content of which was basically, "Hoorah, isn't this neat, we're cancelling your domain! Click here to confirm!" Approximately a tenth of a nanosecond later, another arrives saying, "Thanks for confirming, here's an obscure email mentioning something about a refund!" I was fairly bemused by all this, so sent an email off to domains@freewebs.com asking in a fvery formal and polite manner what was going on. They claim to have a responce within the hour. This was yesterday, and I'm still waiting for a reply. Today I sent another one to another support email address, which claimed to have a response time of 3 hours. So we're probably looking at late August for a reply. Ho Hum. This means that for you'll still be typing www.freewebs.com/leostuff for a while, and not www.leo-stuff.com, which makes me sad. Edit: Hmmm something good seems to be happening... My pictures are turning into broken pictures, and my lovely banner has turned into a lovely white space... They did say this might happen during the domain waiting period, so either I'm about to get it, or the people at freewebs have just read this post and are retaliating...

Firstly, I make no apologies for this game. Ok I do. I apologize for this game. It is based around the legendary sport Rubber Flicking, a game a few of us played last year. Secondly, we're going round Dan's tomorrow to shoot the fight sequence of Stick Vs Human 6 (N.B. we haven't come up with a better name yet). Should be good. |

Update on things | ||

I finally got round to adding something to the Chums page. You can now find links there to Dan's superb Stick Vs Human spoofs. If you are a chum (either from real life or the interweb) and have made something funny, give me an email at leo.humphries@gmail.com. In other exciting news, Serious Talks have been made concerning another Stick Vs Human, featuring Joss, Dan and I and animated by me. So far it's sounding rather hot. |

Check out the flash page because there are two new ones. I'm tired, so I'll elaborate later. edit: BREAKING NEWS! I am no longer tired and am prepared to not only give you links to the Tatlock thing and the Pykie thing, but to actually explain what the hell the Tatlock thing is all about. Basically, we decided we wanted to earn some money over the holidays, but couldn't be bothered to get our arses away from the warm glow of the computer. So we came up with this. Matthew Clive Tatlock the III's Noises - ON CD Well, it had to happen sooner or later, didn't it? It only costs 2.5 moneys and if you give Tatlock himself an email at greengiant1000@hotmail.com he'll happily send you a copy with a smile on his large face. Or send and email to Joss at wilmajoss@hotmail.com and he'll send you one with a smile on his not-so-large face. GO ON, DO IT! Plus I'm getting 10%, so for every CD sold, I'll get tuppence and a ha'penny, so just buy it for the sake of me. Hear samples right here yes here. In other news, I have embarked on a project I like to call - GIVE ME ABS, where I will try (probably fruitlessly) over the summer to get at least a twopack. If all else fails, I'll get a marker pen and draw some on to impress the lady types. More info on this soon.

I have fans in as far out places as Canada and deepest Florida... But now I can now proudly say that I have a fan situated in none other than Hartlepool! I'm sure you'll agree, my fanbase is spread far and wide. But enough ego stroking. My dear friend Drattigan asked me to film some stuff for him and being the great guy I am (sorry I said I'd stop stroking my ego didn't I...) I obliged. Watch the movie on NG here. I'm on a campaign to stop teenage taches once and for all. The ladies, bisexuals, and gay men have proven it for me; they just plain suck. More and more people every day are messaging me to tell me, 'NO! They're rubbish!'. Literally (and I use the word 'literally' in its most literal sense) NO ONE has told me, 'Yeah, actually, I think they're quite nice'. So please, teens with taches, buy a razor and read my handy tutourial on how to shave and get ready to TERMINATE THAT TACHE. Together, we can eliminate this: Now I must go. I am worried because this just turned up in my inbox:
Ooo-er!

Could people please stop telling me to put a flower at the beginning of my MSN name in respect for those who died in London today? It's great to show respect, but I just think doing it on your MSN name is a bit silly really. Especially when it is (and I quote), "To remind us of how much we hate Muslims". |

I wrote a Frequently Asked Questions page. How handy! Har. Play the game at the bottom too. Spent a while on that. |

And I thought I'd give you a nice update on things. Maxwell was not evicted - well done chaps. I like him less by the day now, but I'm still fairly pleased he's still in there. I have worked on the game since I last mentioned it, but not much. Dan is pestering me. Tell him to stop. The results of the Teen Facial Hair Poll so far stand as: Bad! - 10 Good! -0 People who didn?t know what tache meant: 6
Ohh mental block. Oh well, I'll just point out the lovely make poverty history band on the top right and urge you to click it (live8 was good wasn't it?)
Breaking up soon. Thank gawd. I'm so done with year 9.
