Onward to the next holiday...

Posted by MaartenC - July 24th, 2012

...without internet.

UPDATE: I'll be at home till Tuesday morning, so until Monday (August 6th) I'm pretty much available for chatter. I made a lot of progress in the meantime, finished three remixes, 20-30 pages of my novel, finished Fallout: New Vegas three times, and finally cleaned up my laptop.

It's good to let loose of internet so once in a while. I haven't had any distractions from certain productive activities, such as my writing. My stream of ideas has been about 70 times faster than usual, meaning I have over 9000 characters (I shit you not; it's about 9100) with ideas, all written on my cellphone. Now to actually use them...

Anyway, for those who are interested, my last two weeks in Turkey were fun. It's been busy, since we pretty much saw the whole country in two weeks, but it was worth it.
It's been a while since we (my dad & I) went on an organized trip, though our guide was extremely competent, so no problems... until I stepped into a sea urchin (or actually a lot). I was together with a girl, walking to an island, where you had to walk through the sea (which was about a meter deep there) for a meter or 20. Little did we know that in every crack in the bottom sea urchins were lurking...

I got 28 needles stuck in my foot, which had to be removed one by one WITH FUCKING NEEDLES. Two Turkish doctors (from which one of them was extremely queer, and with that, I mean extremely) were sticking needles in the soles of my feet, turning, twisting, stabbing all over them, until a pin popped out. One of them was stuck too deep, so after seven tries (seven times stabbing the same wound...) they finally injected some anesthesia, though (of course) that had to be injected in the sole of my foot too.

Luckily, my feet don't hurt anymore, so I can... wait, not that I did anything like walking before. Nvm.

Also, since I'll be gone for another two-three weeks, I won't be on. Please post anything you feel (and with that, I mean people like RAMB0J3SUS, Criminal-23, Cliffracer, Amaranthus, 123mine123 etc.) I should check out, since I'll be missing ALL of the 'recent updates'. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Now, I wish you all a great summer, and pic, as usual, unrelated.

Onward to the next holiday...

Ouch dude...
Hope your feet will heal soon...

"MAARTEN, WHAT DOES THE SCOUTER SAY ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER LEVEL?"
(by character, i mean how many letters you have in your story)

MaartenC 2012-07-24 07:24:11

IT'S OVER 9000!!!!
Fuck you. I'm never gonna type that again :P

Anyway, my feet are all better, so no problems.

KrisKrosNL 2012-07-24 08:22:32

I can't stop your future, thus I have only one thing to say:

"Fuck. You."

MaartenC 2012-07-24 08:22:32

Well, good sir. I hope you die a slow and painful death.

RAMB0J3SUS 2012-07-24 10:57:01

FUCK SEA URCHINS. I've never had a run in with those little buggers, but I can only imagine it's no fun. As for the girl? Right on dude. I'm happy to hear you had a kick ass time in Turkey. As for the 9,100 characters? HOLY SHIT! That's incredible! Being without internet, or computer can really be a great thing to bring you back to a creative state. It's also refreshing when you get back to the grind of the internet after a little retreat. I'm stoked to see what you have in plan for Newgrounds, whether it be music or writing. That picture at the end of the post? Bad as fuck. (in a good way.) Stay safe Maarten, and good luck cranking some ideas out! I look forward to your return comrade!

MaartenC 2012-07-24 10:57:01

Yeap. Nowadays I get uncomfortable if something other than a normal floor/shoes/socks touch my feet :(

All inspirational stuff is going fine, I have currently written over 25 pages (don't know how many characters though). Good stuff.

You stay safe too, have a great summer.

KrisKrosNL 2012-07-25 02:36:07

Dun dun dun, guess what happened...

You were UNscouted. Same goes for CliffRacer. O_O

Sucks to be you.

MaartenC 2012-07-25 02:36:07

Yeap. I saw that. Sucks really bad.

Also, wtf is up with the lame Naruto shit on your page?

ForeverBound 2012-07-31 13:09:23

Stop with writing in your phone and get the girls!!!!!!
:P

MaartenC 2012-07-31 13:09:23

Don't worry; a nice balance has been found :3

ForeverBound 2012-08-01 06:53:34

hey I just post thi to keep u a little bit updated what happend last time ( so read it back when u get home)

I took part in the NGADM but I failed to get in. so i hope to get into the runner-up NGADM.
I've used mississippi (RMX) for the auditions.

MaartenC 2012-08-01 06:53:34

That's... idiotic. Mississippi is a great song (what a coincidence... I listened to it yesterday). Imma check out your new songs today (same with C23).

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 10:44:25

Wow, everytime I change something (username, profile pic, etc) everyone rants about it like little 12-year-old fucks. Sir, do me a favor and GTFO Newgrounds until you regain your past maturity.

And fuck you, Pain is my favorite Anime character of all time.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 10:44:25

Sure, Pain is cool, but whyyyyy. The last one was way better :D

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 10:47:55

Not at all, the last one was outdated. I still have it as my SouldCloud icon, though.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 10:47:55

Aha. Well, have fun with yer new icon.

How's it hangin'?

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 10:51:56

Perfect. Alex616 has recently took your spot as PM conversation man. I've been hanging around the Audio Forum a lot and got excellent critisism from a bunch of pro musicians.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 10:51:56

That's very good to hear. Looks like you're still heading straight up. I gotta keep up, apparently :P

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 10:55:01

You're no longer close to my music production and writing skills, as well as Whistle, Level and B/P. You fail at everything atm.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 10:55:01

Laughed out loud here. You're way too ambitious concerning that. Also, you never know how much we both have improved. Also, the whistle, level and B/P is irrelevant to me.

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 11:03:54

You're too over-confident about your music skills. In that case, how do you PEQ2 a bass? How many and what frequencies exist in a song?

As for writing, I'm writing my novel for the fourth time over, and it looks very much like Twilight, only not including the love, vampire and all of that gag. Or should I say, even better than that.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 11:03:54

Both your questions fail. It all depends on what program you use, and it all depends what kind of song you make.

I'm at the moment curious how you make a novel relate so much to twilight. I have not read the series (not planning to, I'm utterly sorry :P), though I do wish to read your novel, even if it is unfinished.

Of course I'm not as good as you with producing, though you shouldn't get too cocky about your skills too... it makes an arrogant impression :P

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 11:10:22

Wow, you can't understand music. When I say PEQ2 (Parametic Equalizer 2), it's only focused on FL 10.
And when I say 'PEQ2 a bass', it's said to cut the bass frequencies a bit with the PEQ2.

As for the other, each song has fucking frequencies. They consist of High, Medium, Low and Bass frequencies.

You're fucking stupid.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 11:10:22

Congratulations, you just missed the entire point~!

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 11:16:22

*facepalm*

Go back to school, please. You're just too fucking retarded.

MaartenC 2012-08-05 11:16:22

Aaaaand now this conversation dies.

Wow, how long did we talk without insulting one another? I think it was a new record though.

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 11:20:09

*conversation is already dead*

MaartenC 2012-08-05 11:20:09

Uhu.

Anyway, if you want, I'll send you a few things I've done during the holiday. I'm interested in your progress too.

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-05 23:14:30

MaartenC 2012-08-05 23:14:30

Not bad. Looks like the Paragon is also still improving.

ForeverBound 2012-08-06 04:48:46

I actually hate arrogant people. and you guys are really weird, u havn't spoken to each other for like a month and the first thing u do when your both online is insulting each other :(

I'm really disappointed in both of your behaviours

MaartenC 2012-08-06 04:48:46

Eyup. That's actually how it works. I understand that you're disappointed, but it's reality here.

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-06 05:29:18

Internet =/= Real Life

Therefore, no-one gives a fuck about others on the internet.

MaartenC 2012-08-06 05:29:18

Behave.

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-06 05:49:32

Too bad, the internet has told me never to take shit seriously on the internet, unless that person is known in real-life.

MaartenC 2012-08-06 05:49:32

I sometimes wonder whether you're truly able to keep up such an act...

KrisKrosNL 2012-08-06 05:54:38

Hurr hurr, check out my BBS posts and you'll see total trolling.

MaartenC 2012-08-06 05:54:38

Fair enough.

ForeverBound 2012-08-06 06:10:13

i was wondering should i make more Video game songs? i've got some idea's and also a lot of songs whitch i want to remix into video game

MaartenC 2012-08-06 06:10:13

Personally, I like trance much, much better, so I wouldn't recommend it, though IF you have plenty of ideas, it's probably good to try them out.

Ik zeg doen.
