Poppin' Champagne!
 

New Years Extravaganza Daily Chit-Chat


Popping champagne, lighting up the fireworks, making toasts, and counting the remaining minutes left of 2010 going into the new year of 2011 is something we're all looking forward to. Luckily, the wait is almost over, and the new year is quickly approaching us.

Gather up with your fellow members as we look back upon this year together, and look ahead to see what may be in store for us in the new year. Here, you are free to chit chat with other members who are joining in on the New Years Extravaganza events. Feel free to count down the remaining time we have left, all you have planned for the start of the new decade, the on-going events we have up, and so much more.

Just remember to stay on topic, be respectful, have fun, and give me your cookies. :]

-Jared- December 28th, 2010 9:52 PM

Ah, the new year. :) I have primarily one resolution: to get a job. :/

Everything else stems from that, so...XD

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 9:53 PM

Hohoho~
About three more days to go!

Can't wait for the rest of the events to pop up! XD

King Gumball December 28th, 2010 9:55 PM

Oh Yay it is up!

I don't know what I am doing for new year :/ Might go over to a friends place to celebrate.

countryemo December 28th, 2010 9:58 PM

I couldve been the 1st post, but idc :P

YOU SHALL NOT GET MY COOKIES.
Hopefully in 2011 ill do this
Get a job (yeah right..)
a Gf (maybe..)
Drive! (If i can get the confidence..)

Ill prob do nothing for new years

New Years Resolution: IDK

champagnepapi December 28th, 2010 10:03 PM

I'm not a big resolution guy, I'm oblivious how the concept even began, to be honest.

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:03 PM

New Year resolutions are easy to make, but hard to follow. xD
I usually give up on them within a week or so. XD

-Jared- December 28th, 2010 10:06 PM

I can;t afford to give up on mine. XD

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:08 PM

I hate the person who came up with the idea of New Year resolutions. :P
JK.

They should be banned! >D

seeker December 28th, 2010 10:09 PM

I'm looking forward to actually participating in the graphics competition this time round, rather than judging or hosting.

King Gumball December 28th, 2010 10:10 PM

GET A JOB!! But then again I CBF'd getting a job with so many cool games coming out, and my School Certificate next year (last one EVER! I was unlucky enough to be the last year to do it). Study more! that could be a resolution for me. Get a job half way through next year maybe, and study hard in the first half of the year.

derozio December 28th, 2010 10:12 PM

Well, I never really make any resolutions. But I think I'll try to make one this time around: Try to get the first rank in my class. I'll try my best but the chances are quite slim. XD;

Edit: Gav participating? Lol, our 'little' chances of standing a chance just vanished. XD;

I'll toast to that!

I usually watch the ball drop with my family. We all sit in the living room and eat snacks.

My New Years Resolution: To lose weight and I won't give up on it this year. Just have to stay away from my one weakness........Cheesecake!

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:16 PM

My new year resolution should be to be less rude? :'(
Bah.. IDK.

XD;;

Ho-Oh December 28th, 2010 10:16 PM

I wrote my new years resolution in a thread!

...but really, to be happy in the new year is important. XD

There's more than one category you know! Besides, it's half a Gav, I'm in a graphics slump. Hopefully there'll be more entrants this time 'round.

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:20 PM

I'll try to participate in the Graphics event...
...And that would be only if I find I sudden boost of confidence from somewhere. XD;;

Spinor December 28th, 2010 10:21 PM

Woot first page?

I've never been good with New Years resolutions. It'll probably be the same thing all Engineers claim: "Be more organized", and like it happens with all Engineers, that doesn't happen XD

seeker December 28th, 2010 10:21 PM

You should, people on PC seem to afraid to show their graphics around here. Which is silly.

As emblem hungry as ever. It won't be long till you beat Gav at emblems.

And if that is the case, participate in our map-off contest! We have emblems for participants as well. :P

moments. December 28th, 2010 10:24 PM

Seriously, all you graphics people, pro or not, get an entry in. A graphic does not need to be perfectly executed to win, if the concept and everything is original and intriguing, that is all a factor in the judging process.

Just because I'm entering doesn't mean anything XD
I've been beaten plenty of times when it comes to graphics, by people less experienced than me too. Besides, it's all in the manner of fun, you'd never know how much the judges like your pieces!

^This. Besides, you only get better through experience, and what better experience than a contest where you get to see all sorts of examples being submitted?

derozio December 28th, 2010 10:27 PM

Lol, I'm in a slump too. Hope my dad somehow allows me to sit on Windows or I won't even get to participate. XD;

And as for the map off, it requires mapping in advance map, right? I'll try to give it a shot. Then again, if my dad lets me sit on Windows....

lolno I can't make maps. THAT'S ALMOST PIXEL ART! :(

(Somewhat?)

I'll go for easy emblems! :D

seeker December 28th, 2010 10:28 PM

Advance map, paint, photoshop, RMXP anything XD
I'll be entering the mapping contest too. My last map took me a week though. It was 1400x1400px for a Game Development mapping contest.

-Jared- December 28th, 2010 10:29 PM

Maybe I'll try the map off this time...Hmmmm....we'll see. ;P

If you're using Linux, get Wine or someother Windows emulator. Then you will be able to work on Advance Map. Just a side note, you can also use Photoshop, GIMP, RPG Maker XP, etc.

derozio December 28th, 2010 10:30 PM

I'll make a craptastic map just for the emblem. jk. I'll try my best. Although I've only used Advance Map once or twice. And I'm not really sure how to make maps in the other programs. ;;

Perhaps I can participate in the mapping thing even if I don't get to sit on windows by using GIMP. Then again, I'm kinda alien when it comes to GIMP. >(

Off-topic; Oh and merv, Bharat has agreed to giving you his theme. ;P

Chaos Uxie December 28th, 2010 10:31 PM

2 days,17 hour,35 minutes left till the new year from when i post XD
anyways i was thinking to make a new game for pokemon from gamemaker 8(started it but i was tooo lazy so it ended) but with new year i might get new confidence and maybe new gen(gen 6)


Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:32 PM

Boo guys! Don't enter maps you've made earlier! Make something new! Its the New Year! And also, we have a theme this time, so you can't post random stuff. XD

King Gumball December 28th, 2010 10:33 PM

Wow Kaori's, wolflare's and Luke's black tie thread are so well made and attractive! I wanted to participate in them all just because of the front page, buuut I can't sing and have no ev'd pokemon on me :(

MEGAS December 28th, 2010 10:34 PM

Ah, 2011. I hope this will be a perfect year. Lol and yet, I can't wait to celebrate, too.
Busy year once again and yet going to have to look for a job.
I also do hope 2011 will be a fantastic year, had a rough 2010. O_e

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:35 PM

@King Gumball
>O
I've made some smexy CSS for the Map-Off too! You bet its damn attractive! XD

I soooo want Destiny Demon to come and post the thread. ;_;

I think you're forgetting Christmas in Unova. Clearly it's very attractive.

...even if it's not related. XD

moments. December 28th, 2010 10:38 PM

Yeah not going to enter mapping just for the emblem.
I've never tried or considered mapping (although I once took a stab at spriting) and I reckon having an emblem for it would be ew considering I've never actually done it before.

What is that I don't even.

Lol, you should still give it a shot. Learning new things ain't really all that bad of a thing, moments. I'm a first timer too. If I find the emblem 'eww'ish or something, I'd decline it even after participating. You can do the same. XD;

PKMN Trainer Alison December 28th, 2010 10:47 PM

I might enter the mapping contest, although I'm terrible at changing tiles so plain ol' FR graphics for me ^.^

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 10:49 PM

Yes, all of you should enter the mapping contest! It shall be amazing! ^_^

Christmas in Unova is the best without question! Just look at Kunashun and icecream snowman! And it is B/W so it wins automatically ^.^ You and Kaori have done an excellent job there!

Belinda December 28th, 2010 10:56 PM

This will certainly be awesome, can't wait! :3 I hope lots of members attend our Winter Skype Festival.

Oh wait, I'm meant to be advertising my new years event. Yeah everyone go participate in the new years photography event. :D

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 11:00 PM

I'll surely attend the Skype Event.
Honestly, its the only event I'm waiting to begin atm. (Apart from our Map-Off, obv.)

derozio December 28th, 2010 11:02 PM

I'd do photography too. Only if I manage to get some decent pictures. Hope there won't be any hard theme. o3o;

Skype would've been interesting. But gaah, that'll come next year. Won't really go for it this time.
Although the emblems for it last time were totally smexy. o3o;

Have you put up the photography thread yet? I bet everyone will take pictures of their countdown clock on their countries famous building/bridge/tower XD I should probably buy a digital camera so I can get some good photos for the future...

Nooope, Fabio's going to make the thread!

On that note, I just took an amazing photo of a frog~

derozio December 28th, 2010 11:28 PM

I haven't taken any photo lately. Stopped taking photographs after the first PoTW, actually. XD; And yeah, can't wait to see the themes. I really need to know them.

Speaking of photos, I think I might actually take a nice picture of the area surrounding my house. From the terrace. Sure it'll look nice. <3

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 11:30 PM

I might just enter the photography contest, cause Nica is hosting it. :3333333 I'll see to that after I look at the categories. n_n

Ho-Oh December 28th, 2010 11:32 PM

The themes are pretty easy! Afaik. XD

Yay Mervyn :D

Andddd yes Deroio, take that photo! Take lots of photos. :3 You can't forget to take photos. ;;

Not to forget 'lazy' too. o3o;

Maraala December 28th, 2010 11:36 PM

I might enter the photography contest too~
But my photography skills suck...

derozio December 28th, 2010 11:38 PM

Lol, I'm an amateur at photography too. Somehow managed to grab the second prize last time. It doesn't really matter. XD; All we have to do is have fun. These events are meant for us to have some fun anyway. XD;

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 11:38 PM

I'm not very good at photography either. I wonder whether I'll do fine. XD;;

Ho-Oh December 28th, 2010 11:39 PM

You can always improve your photography skills :3

If you want to improve you can look at Fabio's tutorial!

derozio December 28th, 2010 11:42 PM

Wait, Fabio made a tut? I wasn't really aware. Might as well take a look. <3

Regeneration December 28th, 2010 11:47 PM

Bah, I'm too lazy to read tutorials anyway; especially technical tutorials. XP

King Gumball December 28th, 2010 11:51 PM

I might either steal my mums camera or use my laptop which has no zoom XD I might take a pic of a tree or something that doesn't need that much skill. I have a really cool Christmas Bush in my yard ^.^ That could work.

OMG Forever I have almost finished my drawing for your Unova event! I just need to colour it.

Maraala December 28th, 2010 11:52 PM

I'll look into the tutorial
That is, if I can find it

I'd seriously advise anybody going for the photography event to read Fabio's tutorial. It is a blast. Seriously, it helps a lot.

And it is located in 'Graphics and Photography' under the name 'The way of the photographer'. ;]

Tis a shame my new camera doesn't come till late next month but I'm excited to see the results of the Photography contest this time round, It's always a good turn out with the first entries. It'll be interesting since Fabio is finally a Judge.

Regeneration December 29th, 2010 12:30 AM

Well, we had to have him host and judge the photography contest; or else no one else would win. ;_;

derozio December 29th, 2010 12:32 AM

Well yeah, you're kinda right there, merv. XD; But still, I wonder if I'll even make it past the first round...he surely might be a strict judge.

Poster December 29th, 2010 12:39 AM

Cool stuff. I've already decided to participate in the Map-off and sprite edit contests, but I guess I'll also get a look everywhere, for a sudden change of plans might occur. ;D

Well considering how many people have entered the past few contest he and Forever will need to shorten that list down. But you never know you might even win!

rainbow December 29th, 2010 1:57 AM

I may enter the singing contest.
I love singing!

Skip Class December 29th, 2010 2:07 AM

I'm going to see how many contests I can enter this time, hardly really gone out of the organizing part XD

AshPikastar December 29th, 2010 2:10 AM

I'm going to probably join two events instead of one. It might be the graphics event.

Pokestick, good times. December 29th, 2010 2:38 AM

I don't enter events and competitions very often... I just might this time though :3

Kip December 29th, 2010 3:49 AM

Mapping Contest for me ^^ Might enter the AMV contest if I get the time to edit something epic.

LightOfTruth December 29th, 2010 4:10 AM

How are you all this year/next year? I'm just wondering if anyone would like to do ISketch again on a new year theme? :)

Kip December 29th, 2010 4:19 AM

There's still loads of events to come. Just the long wait for approval :P iSketch I believe is one of them.

adventuring December 29th, 2010 4:21 AM

It's cool that Pokécommunity put a lot of effort into the holidays ^^ Makes the forums feel nice and friendly :3

Captain Fabio December 29th, 2010 4:30 AM

Sorry for the delay in posting my contests. It is due to different time zones, so once they are allowed by Hiiro and Nick! We are set to go =D

Kip December 29th, 2010 4:35 AM

Stupid timezones... all they've done is cause trouble. :( GMT for the win!

Regeneration December 29th, 2010 4:40 AM

huh
I really hate timezones. >_>

They are responsible for all the delays taking place. >(

sab December 29th, 2010 5:21 AM

Why do we even have timezones? everyone know that their time is best.

Eucliffe December 29th, 2010 5:31 AM

What I wanna know is why there's still a Daylight Savings Time. I mean, most of the world doesn't follow it, so why do most of the states and whoever else do?

DarkAlucard December 29th, 2010 5:55 AM

Well, i've already a job, and i drive, so my resolution will be lose weight and make it to the leadership of my company, i'm tired of being a simple engineer...

Giratina ♀ December 29th, 2010 5:55 AM

Ooh, it's that time again... heh heh... heh. c:

Maraala December 29th, 2010 6:17 AM

Well, I have finally decided on a resolution for the year~

Alternative December 29th, 2010 6:29 AM

I was wondering when this was going to go to the public. :D
I don't know anything about my new years resolutions. Maybe get a job or something. :/

All I know is on Friday it's going to be 43 degrees here which for you people who don't understand celsius, that's very hot. Good thing I have my pool. :)

lolkipz December 29th, 2010 6:32 AM

Meh... New Years Resolution.... catch 'em all or lose weight.... hmmm....
