Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Is there some way to delete all the alphas that have been already released as flashes. Movies like littlefoot, RotMK4, and games like frank's adventure 4, have been released for a really long time and yet the alphas of them are still the most highly anticipated. They serve no purpose as alphas anymore since they've been released. All they're doing is conjesting the rest of the section, where other people could receive their due of attention.

Ya, just coming out of the blue with a part I worked on overnight, not that great but I had to do it while I was still willing, I'm willing to redo most of it. But I'll have to think about it if you want me to trash the idea.

If you don't like the b&w idea I can color it up. Or just write "make it better, it's not good enough" and I'll understand.

NO WAI!

And Sony isn't going broke, not by a long shot.

I'm more speaking about the fact, that we see almost as many technology upgrades per month as films that come out of hollywood.

Sony: 6 billion dollar cash reserves. Expected to lose 2 billion by next march before making any gains on the ps3

Michael Jackson from moonwalker... oh wait, he was the hero.

I've just been reading this month issue of Wired, and I thought to myself how funny it is that consumers have taken complete control over the big companies. Seriously, it's as if tey're bending to our will. Out of any big-name company out there, think of any big company exec out there that's not put half it's revenue in entertainment. They would scoff if we complained about their products. But think of Hollywood, and companies such as Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft. The consumers have them in the palm of their hand. Sony is about to go broke because of it's delaying the PS3, and now their last hope as a company relies on whether we get mad about and not buy it. We've forced nintendo out of it's territory. They're out of the graphics race by far, and are now forced to think on their feet. (fortunately for them I hear their wand-controller thing is awesome) and xbox live/360 has to come up with new features every month to keep us interested. As the article says about videogame consoles nowadays "software on consoles have become more/just as important as the videogames played on them."

It actually makes me kind of sad to see these companies beg for forgiveness when they come out with a product that I don't want to pay $600 to buy.

I'm sorry but I just have to laugh at you. "You killed the rap about my alias thread" HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. sry, but that's sad. the rap wasn't that bad.

A lot of times it seems that downfall of a thread is without doubt when certain users post what's on their minds. I feel like I do it sometimes. I hate it when I go to the like 5th page and see a whole string of threads that have me as the last poster. I'm a thread killer. More importantly I think a lot of people who start going on rants kill threads too. Are you or do you know anyone who is a major thread killer. My hope is that we together as a community can cleanse ng of everyone who makes the bbs so unfun. (me being the last one)

OMG!!! IF NEWGROUNDS DID IT THEN....

Who's the guy in the tank?!!!!

Do you think the movie would be more or less hyped over with the title "Snake on a Plane"
or "Samuel Jackson On A Plane With Snakes" or even just "Samuel Jackson on a Plane" it's interesting how much money a simple phrase has made.

I can't wait. That looks really cool for a series

lol don't blame me. Blame mynamewontfitin for all those cool photoshoped planet and such leading me to use his tutorial

Are the bitmaps drastically different? Usually shape tweens are not the most intelligent tweens. (not saying that the author who uses them isn't smart, just that they tend to act retarded at times.) If they're too different in terms of color and shape then you may have one of those troublesome, disapear to a side then come back routines. Bitmaps, gifs, jpegs etc. need to be traced using the traced bitmap option.

Well I took some of your suggestions and added some stuff to make the scene a little better. The only thing I didn't do was make the moon smaller because I want the moon to be the overexaggerated focus point that takes focus from the building. any way. Just pretend the moon is that big in reality. :)

yeah I got this blood blister on the inside of my palm from baseball bats and it's been around a while and all the blood is dried up and speckish. I wondering if anyone knew if there were some health risks to blood blister (blood diseases etc.) that go untreated. I myself don't really feel like digging in if it's unnessary.

politics section please

You pass me on the street and sneer in my direction.

not really. Maybe cuz your racist. People don't like people blaming their race for the problems of the world

You call me "Cracker", "Honkey", "Whitey" and you think it's OK.

But when I call you, nigg**, Kike, Towelhead, Camel Jockey, Beaner, Gook, or Chink you call me a racist.

Gook is actually for vietnamese. Get your facts straight. nigg** has a past. cracker whitey honkey are poor excuses for insults and you know that. Also, to note: I barely ever hear those names from a black guy. they don't use em cuz it's just fuel to your stupid argument.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live

becasue their the poorest places in the world maybe? Under-funded public schools, under-funded government building projects, not health benefits. Low minimum wage. Continue?

You have the United Negro College Fund.
You have Martin Luther King Day.
You have Black History Month.
You have Cesar Chavez Day.
You have Yom Hashoah
You have the NAACP.
You have BET.

don't forget upn... oh god I'm bad! You have the KKK, The Nazi Party, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Flag day, Halloween. Continue?

If we had WET(white entertainment television) we'd be racists.

Because the rest of tv is designed to serve the white

If we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists.

Because the rest of the days are designed to serve the white

If we had white history month, we'd be racists.

If we had an organization for only whites to "advance" our lives, we'd be racists.

you do. KKK, NRA, Nazis

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships, you know we'd be racists.

In the Million Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, you would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and orange, and you're not afraid to announce it. But when we announce our white pride, you call us racists.

You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us. But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer running from the law and posing a threat to society, you call him a racist.

I am white.
I am proud.

But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?

Uh... anime? no. They're all japanese films directed by Akira Kurosawa, Shindo, and Kobayashi. There all live action. Akira kurosawa is the best japanese director of all time. He's like a japanese Copola

Argument for Simpsons:

Doesn't force you to laugh.
Is more careful when making you jokes so they rarely run into a "sour" joke.
Resorting to shock value like Family guy does grows tiresome after a while.
Much more family-oriented show with less sexually suggestive themes and crude humor.
Characters are much more realistic. The events that occur to them are much more realistic, don't stretch the lawsof physics.
Rarely doe it stray from a plot.
Follows a style that it itself came up with. (Intro 5 min. Sub-plot 10 mins. Main plot occuring from subplot's result. This is done very effectively.
Much more parodistic than Family Guy and conveys messages not unlike South Park

Argument for Family Guy

Nonsensical, it's good for those who don't need to follow a plot because in reality, it's just an animated show.
Thin boundaries. Shock value is felt even before the show because you know that nothing is restraining this show besides the fcc who doesn't even do a good job of censorship.
Isn't afraid to insult it's own viewers. It never lets down. They give no room for someone who has never seen it before and is unsure to taste a little taste. You always get the full bowl.
You don't really know what to expect with the jokes pertaining to past human disasters (hiroshima, jfk assassination) or celebrity icons.

In my opinion, I like shows without boundaries. I don't like the Simpsons or South Park as much (I do like them) because to me there is nothing that can happen to the show after it's been on so long. (Bart will always remain ten, the kids in south park will always hate family guy and just be kids...) Even though family guy always seems to return to normal in the end, you always have the sense that the show has progressed some how. It's very much like seinfeld in that respect

I don't get wha he's asking (twice) I think he wants to answer you're reviews for you. Kind of like a bitch of sorts. You must be good.

yea my birthday was a few days back and I definitly rank in it my top three in terms of the loot I racked in. Here's what I got

1. Specialized Bike
2. Roshomon DVD
3. HaraKiri DVD
4. Onibaba DVD
5. Throne of Blood DVD
6. Ran DVD

And finally after all these years I got.......................

Mario 64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAH!!!! I'm so with and years beyond everyone else gamingwise.

Seriously is it a good game. I heard it's a classic that's why I got it.

send me a copy, for some reason I'm intensly interested. Mostly because It's a quickie I can do during the end of the summer, how bout it? send it to izforgoat@hotmail.com

rules:

Do NOT use Model Magic. Model Magic hardens and tends to not mold well, plus if you tear it it doesn't stick back together. Use animator's clay, or pigmented oil-based modeling clays.

You'll find that it tends to not stay in the place you intended because of the elasticity of it, but that's something all claynamators have to deal with. This type of clay can get expensive especially if it's colored, so if you want a cheap alternative, get the always classic play-doh. comes in a lot of colors and usually doesn't rub into the furniture like the oil-based clays.

For webcams I use a Quickcam Pro 4000, which is a very good camera that comes with the stopmotion program. It tends to be inconsistent as you use it in terms of picture quality, so animate on 'good days' and rest the thing on 'bad days' keep the lens clean and use it frequently because underuse creates graininess. This webcam cost about $100 but it comes with three extra program, two of which, "Photoshop elements 2.0" and "Painter Essentials 2" make this a very good deal.

Animating: Pick a good spot that does not have harsh light for your scene. direct light tends to come off awkwardly on webcams. Use a desk you can risk getting grimy. Practice with it awhile til you get the jist of it and animate in small incremental parts. Don't use the built in microphone for dialogue because it's terrible. use an audio editing program like Audacity and not sound recorder like a lot of n00bs.

Most importantly, don't submit something if it's not good because although we like to see effort, claymation is nothing without a good director first.

hope this helps good luck

there wasn't much I could do. A little fine tuning. Made him not so... dead and evil. And I got to those unruly eyebrows. And the blemishes on his nose.

Wow, I guess that puts a damper on everyone who was so happy with the harry/ginny coupling
