It's no coincidence that my account is approximately as old as the movie Miss Congeniality.
Been on Newgrounds even before 2001 on a different alias. I will be bringing some of my future film work here.

Crap Os X2 - 12/13/08 Update

Posted by MrCongeniality - December 13th, 2008


Some interesting facts if you didn't know already:

Crap Os X2 runs at a really wimpy 640x480. Kinda pathetic, I know, but when I started this project, you have to realize, I thought I would finish it in 2005. Now everything is so much more different.

The framerate is at 60 frames per second. The resolution may be low, but the frame rate is really high. Even now a days, hardly anyone creates flash work at 60fps. However, Windows Vista run at maximum framerate when just running the visual effects and whatnot, and the most common refresh rate is, you guess it, 60 frames per second. I also created some of NG's first 60fps work with Mega Man Shorts Ep. 1, but the movie was only a demonstration and not really anything else. I did try to make it something people would like.

Crap Os X2 will meet the NG filesize limit, but it could be just barely. People are getting faster connections in today's world, and high-speed internet has definitely out-shined dial-up. Those who have Dial-Up should not even touch Crap Os X2, not unless they want to wait around for about 15 to 30 minutes for it to load. The file size is particularly a bit big because of the audio and visual quality, and there is an embed FLV inside the movie, but it's very short and not very big, however it did add 200KB. I will probably be embing one more FLV file but that's it. The filesize right now is 5.35MB, which is pushing me to even compress it a little less because this project will deserve it. After all, it will be a 5 year old project once the new year rolls around.

I'm recreating some stuff from Crap Os and Crap Os X. I felt what I really wanted to do is recreate some of the things from the first two versions. They will not be identical. I no longer have the source files for Crap Os or Crap Os X (I blame hard drive crashes and my stupidity to not back up, which I am doing this time around). It's a good thing though, I shouldn't be dipping back into the previous version and using it for this one. So if you played the first two, you'll notice a new look, but with some same content with a much better execution. The fake programs from Crap Os X like "XCD" are in Crap Os X2, but the way it works is different. DivX player from the original Crap Os is back too, and so is "Proxist Is Sexxxxy!", however it's not a gif image, it's actually a FLV movie I embed of my sister saying it (I wonder if this could go viral, wahaha). As well, the notepad application is back too, with the annoying little clip pet. It probably won't be as funny as it was in "Crap Os X", I have to admit I had some people laughing pretty hard with a talking X on a large amount of drugs that had ingested sperm.

I captured a screenshot of what it looks like of now, I may be replacing the backgroud (AGAIN). It's featured below, but here's a link the the full size version: OMG CLICKS!!!

You'll notice the DivX player with my sister in the background. She's really going to hate me for this.

Also a little trivia, the original Crap Os X2 didn't have MSN Messenger, it had Yahoo. It opens up with offline messages from Eric Cartman, and Lori Hacking. She is now on the MSN list as "Offline".

For those of you who don't remember, Lori Hacking from Utah was killed in 2003 or 2004 after she confronted her husband about his cheating on her. Hence why her status says "I HATE MY HUSBAND!!!!" and she's offline.

Also, "Brendad Ickson" is a reference from the famous parody videos made by Deven Green. The original one was taken down for copyright and is no longer on her youtube page, so there's the link if you want to watch it, it's a fucking hoot. "Trouser Gravy" is also a reference to the videos.

"Lars" is a reference from the famous youtube video called Lars the Emo Kid. I felt this should be in there, because it felt funny, and I have done some work for the creator of the video, Paxton Gilmore.

"Bob Lowlaw" is a reference from a lawyer's name on Arrested Development. I love that it just sounds like gibberish, but it could be a real name.

"Olive Blackock" and "Harry Taint" is a reference from the prank calls Richard Christy and Sal Governale make on "The Howard Stern Show". "Blue Iris" is also part of the wack pack on Howard Stern as well.

Hope you enjoyed these random facts.
