Im pretty sure it's not one guy who made dbz and final fantasy. Iv been playing FF crisis core on the psp a lot lately. It has amazing cut scenes and cool anime style action. Even though the story in the series is always corny, they take a lot of time to tell it and that's part of what makes the series so gripping.

a little bit late for this after 1000 pages no?

Depends on how serious you are with it. A cintiq isnt something you buy, use for a couple of weeks and then put away in the closet. If you got the motivation, the money and the ambition then it might be worth the purchase

Yeah you're right. Thing is, if all the copyrighted stuff was removed from youtube, it'd be a website consisting only out of some video blogs and bloopers.

So I told my mom eveything that happened (left out the handy lol) and we went to the police.

They went to the bar, made a big stink and now some point in time the woman who hustled me will have to go to court and do some shit for letting a minor in and not carding me, so she'll have to get a lawyer and shit and hopefully all the frustration will cost here more than they jacked me.

Glad to hear it turned out well.. This certainly worked a lot better than the 'i lost my card' scenario. I think the german law is pretty similar to the one of holland and other EU countries, so there will be a good chance they will have to close the bar for letting a minor in. I'm sure the stress and expenses they have right now are entertaining.

Series i miss

X-Files! Used to love that show.. Don't know if i'd love it as much today if it would be aired again though.

How Fucked I Am

That seriously sucks dude.. The worst thing you can do in situations like that is to agree with them to pay in the first place. Once you give criminals like that a penny they come back for a dollar.. Next time make a big deal out of it, even if it's only 5 bucks. Get the manager of the place involved or something.
As it is now, it would be best to just admit what happened to your mom and let it be a lesson for the next time

Wow thats basically an exact hybrid of the youtube layout with the newgrounds concept. It'll probably be a big site

One of my favorite animated movies is finally online on Newgrounds! If you haven't seen it before, check it out. It's beautiful.

great video of one of their worst songs....

Hmm I'm indecisive still. I'd like to come again, but it all depends on whether or not i will have money then. The advantage is i've already done some sightseeing london so if i'd be there i can hang with you people more.

Yes most people do that. But there are exceptions. Rtil's sprite music video was pretty original and i think Luis is working on something spritish too. I agree with you that ripping off sprites isnt cool, but the method of making your own is great.

I don't think the universe is endless. Nothing is. I think just because it has dimensions that we can't comprehend at this moment, it doesn't mean it's endless. Maybe the universe itself is some kind of sphere. Beyond that is probably nothing

shit... forgot that that doesn't work on this forum lol

Ignore that dick.

That's no way to treat someone who made the audio. I think he pointed out the situation in a polite and normal manner, the least the flash creator could have done was notify him that he was going to use his song. It's not a matter of who stands in their right legally, it's more a matter of the right moral behavior.

Actually if they have a legal document, then they are in their full right to sue other companies who use loader games.

I doubt they care about the amateur flash makers though

Ah you conventional brat. You should try it sometimes, chicks dig it, especially in the summer. Be careful to not go overboard with it though.. Like combining a pink shirt with pink trousers or something lol

American beauty and road to perdition.. Thomas Newman is one of my favorite composers.. It's all a bit romantic though

Career

I want to become a senior architect :) This tuesday i am invited at a pretty big architecture agency for a job interview. They already saw my portfolio and personally contacted me, so i'm quite optimistic.
In the future i want to start my own architecture agency though. It's easy for architects to start on their own, because they don't have any products they must buy or distribute. Basically they sell their own creativity.

that screenshot is looking superawesome..

Actually has anyone seen 'juno'. The story is supposed to be supercute and the girl is adorable, but it still got heralded as oscar worthy by the critics. I'm kinda curious now

Fun way to pass about 36 hours.

Hmm sounds somewhat interesting. I doubt it will be entertaining for 36 hours though. I'll might try it with the term 'hooters'

Movies i can watch over and over again are usually the star wars, indiana jones and rocky type of shit. Just turn the thinking to 0% and enjoy.
Damn, its raining and storming outside so i decided to stay inside tonight. Now im bored as hell.. Anyone knows some cool stuff on internet i can watch (or play)?

It's a little less than last year, but we live in uncertain times and we are working hard to bring some exciting, related announcements as the date approaches. But like I said, uncertain times.

Here are some pics of Lalo's Pico Munny!

That's allright buddy, we animators do it for the love, not the money :) I'll try to wrap something up this year

My bet would be Alanthebox. His work is of such higher quality than any other flash artist here can achieve. It's not about 'who can draw best', but about 'who can make the most original, unique animation'. Hell you don't even have to be able to draw to get nominated, sometimes a simple unique style can even work in your advantage

I don't think so. Oscar nominated shorts are usually shorts that are highly original in concept and style. They are not awarded to the most disney short of the year, but to the most thought provoking short of the year.
