[- The Nail -]

Its unfortunate

that I couldn't give you a 10 :(

All flashes must face their final judgement sooner or later, for many I do pray sooner, but just because they are forced down the well by the flash reaper does not mean they are finished, the good times still remain,(well those that were good I should say >.>), and many flashes remain with them, Pico, Foamy, Tankmen even, everything will face judgement of the reaper some time or another... hes very patient.... specially for you rtil!!! xD

another great movie dude, cant wait to see more!

[The Future Wasn't There]

Cool

so this thing is quite old I see, Oh well it still beats 2/3 of the crap that people vote into NG so thumbs up :)

2 endings I came up with

- The ever so popular, his time machine blew up with him inside ending.

- The dude manages to get the machine working goes back in time and stops himself from making it (thus why no machine returns, its a time paradox)

Either way, the moral is DON'T F*CK WITH TIME!

[Apache -]

Wondeful

Absolutely wonderful...

Music - perfect

Animation - WAAAAAY UP THERE!!!!(Dude its rare to see such talent on NG from 05)

Can't wait to see what your next movies going to be like (3 years of improvement its gonna be a masterpiece)

[Brawl Funnies [dick 3]]

I love you....

I rly do, and I'm not ashamed to say it, I am going to be entering a computer class to teach me about how to make flashes and games, and I agree with you entirely, people need to make there own stuff, but I also say "you wanna make a thing about something popular? fine go ahead, just keep your own material in mind" that is how the internet should work, I have been a Newgrounds user for over 4 years now, and I have to say the quality of flash has decreased constantly each year, I am now finding that the artists whom I have grown to love and enjoy are stopping their flash creations from going anywhere, and doing anything from all the new voters who go "OMG OMG SUPA SMASH BROS(I'm using this because of the useless 3 vids that have recently come out[Brawl Taunts 3, Brawl Funnies 1 and 2]) But I can't go and say I dont enjoy alot of the flashes that use someone elses ideas mixed with your own jokes(Egoraptoers MGS and Awsomes are not original, but they are funny) and I'm not saying when I enter the field that I wont do something popular too, but I am saying that if I ever make something that is popular to the mass it will be my own choice, and I wont make it for peoples votes, Artists are losing their sence for flashes, too many artists start a great series, it doesn't catch on as well as they hope, or it becomes to popular and they rush, thus creating crappy submissions to just finish their series and create things for votes. As a veteran Newgrounder I agree with this video description, and I agree with the msg(watch the video 2nd read description first it sends the right msg this way) this video sends, its telling the public, "this is what you want? get a friggen life and learn to vote, and try new flashes and series' " Thus I hope anyone who reads this msg and still wants to be an ass and go "OMG OMG ITS POPULAR VOTE VOTE VOTE WATCH WATCH WATCH" and ruins Newgrounds further can go die in a hole, have the shitty videos that they rate 10's thrown on top of them, than buried halfway up with dirt, than the rest cement. Good day...

A few months ago ashford pride made a movie with a foreboding title. It was called "Awesome Grounds".

Well ladies and gentlemen, that's might as well what this site should be called (at least right now), with the top row on the front page slot dedicated to an "awesome" movie and an "awesome" parody, an "awesome" t-shirt in the newgrounds store, and pretty much every "awesome" movie in the top 100, along with han's "awesome's creed".

I can't go to newgrounds with seeing something not about egoraptor or his coveted video game parody series. It makes me wonder sometimes if pursuing anything but half-assed cartoons making mildly funny observations about video games laced with profanity is even worth it. Truly, they are what bring the masses of 13-year olds to this site, and thus increases traffic and competition in the internet world. But you have to ask yourself, with this sort of two-bit audience increasing in numbers, are they really interested in watching anything else?

I understand that it's a dog eat dog world in the online entertainment business, and to compete you have to pretty much put up content that a majority of internet browsers would click on. This includes either women or video games. Things they already know they want. And that's all they want. They sign up, watch more, and come back and do it again later. They're trained to know that what they want is easily accessible and is promoted all over the site.

Original content is often shuffled off to the bottom of the page, or never gets any attention to begin with. Now comes into play the whole 'they won't click on it unless there's a boob for the icon', etc etc. That's because they've been fashioned to think that way.

I'm not saying i have all the mysterious answers to the way people's minds work. But this much is true - if all people click on are breasts and video game icons, and you give them breasts and video game icons, you're not pushing the envelope.

Newgrounds is the epitome of user-generated content. We already have a massive advantage over youtube in the fact that making a cartoon involves so much more creativity than snappily editing your webcam footage. So instead of 200 cartoons coming out every minute, we have 200 cartoons coming out every day. That gives someone a better chance of breaking out and being discovered for his hard work, and a reward for a job well done.

But in the same way that viewers are trained that they don't have to go out of their way to avoid original content they would otherwise enjoy, authors are becoming more and more disenchanted with their personal creations and are turning to nerd culture icons and cheap tactics to get viewers.

I can't tell you how many animators I have spoken to that have shunned their own creations in favor of sub-pop culture parody and disjointed scripts sprinkled with toilet humor and profanity. a cartoon catering to everyone who's forgotten what cartoons are all about. And here we are shoving away everything about cartoons that was originally appealing and magical, because we're pretty much forced to.

I'm not pointing the finger at any one person here. I think it's part of the bigger picture - bigger than Newgrounds, too. But if people really care about the future of cartoons and animation, we wouldn't be seeing this kind of blatant favoritism.

People will find what they want if they want it. They don't need to be spoon fed it all.

For thirty years animators who strive to create something genuinely unique have gotten nothing but a slap in the face. It's sickening and it has to stop someday, before they all disappear.

Lastly, this post is not about me. I'm not writing this out of self-pity, bitterness or spite. I'm being honest. I care a lot about the future of animation, and what I see around me is very troubling. The industry is bad enough, but where the future lies is in the small corners of the animation world. Newgrounds is one of them. I spend a lot of time trying to encourage and teach frame-by-frame animation, and creating your own characters and scripts. That is what is important
