I hear this "hipster" is basically anyone that thinks anything is uncool besides what they like, thoroughly enjoying every album by Beck, getting beard transplants, and associating oneself remotely to the crowdsurfed wave of entertainment - like My Little Pony, Adventure Time, Minecraft, or anything that's way too popular for public acceptance/acknowledgement.

Here's a great question: have you legitimately been drunk, every day, for over 6 months straight?

If so, you aren't thinking straight still. Alcoholism is basically that, you have no control on "who" you are because your actions are done by some brain-drained logic and ill will.

It's more of an idiot filter than anything. It also looks bad when you leave a really crappy, really awful review and it shows. like one of my animation reviews (a 1 star) was: "COULDN'T LOAD." Ok, it could load fine for the people reviewed the work and this guy is at the top of the review thread saying "COULDN'T LOAD."

I'm certainly grateful we never took away the rating system completely, because "LIKE/DISLIKE" is such a contrast. You can't just review a work as "GREAT" and "NO."

My animations are strictly posted to Newgrounds as a disciplined practice in that my animations can not be experienced on YouTube in the same way. It is technologically impossible. Artists that have went the route of becoming "YouTubimators" are money-hogging artists less keen on the idea of creating practical animations that require forethought.

So in other words, Flash will exist on platforms in its current state like how some people still somehow swear by older operating systems because it allows for a plethora of opportunities by fusing programming with writing, art, and various other things that "videos" can't quite do (nor ever will, as a studied mixed media artist).

If you intend to animate, I would definitely not recommend YouTube as your "media outlet." Fans aren't always what makes you real bomb. It's about how original you really are. And people that "left" NG to go to YouTube did it for money, that isn't new and that isn't original. It's greedy and backwards.

I say it with such adamant attitude because I'm a Newgrounder, not a YouTuber. NG was first. YouTube marketed off a sold idea. We're real. They're not.

End 900th post.

You think you're suffering? You're too good for me, then oh... I'm sorry!

Alcohol in general is an issue. Alcoholism is a problem, and anybody exhibiting drunkenness near or to me is quickly removed from my memories - generally by using alcohol.

well would ya look at that reasoning

Which love is strongest?

Your question is a question that is only individually answered based on our rationale, forte, and moral leanings. You see, some of us understand that sacrifice is already part of the equation and ill need to wonder such trivial devotions. On the other hand, being crossed refutes the conscientious devotion you gave such an ill-minded, inconsistent person of bad faith -- despite such, the strongest love would say to defend such a lecherous individual.

To us all, it is about protecting those you most likely understand and trust which is what the idea of "love" is: upholding such virtue is what may of helped hinge society on the epitaph of success and procreation.

so we think, anyway. so we're supposed to believe, anyway.

But you see, love comes from the core deep down beneath and it is strongest when you only know you felt it, and let it empower you - not when you let your guard down and took a bullet to the heart, whether it be metaphorical or literal.

From my point of view, the strongest love is
determined when

1 offense that bothers me and you are abstinent for life, no ability to naturally procreate.

Silence.

I just left a pretty simple, very harsh review of 'Tasteless.' for an animation that was just a MLP fuckfest with no sound, loop, and that's it. nope. that crap is not art or work, that should be blammed. I would say I am not fond of robpeck. their first animation did not impress me at an early age and it was the first sign of kiss-up in reviews for a flash about a "tribute to 9/11." no keep tragedy out of our brains. I don't like that, it completely turns me off your work as an artist to look you up 5 years down the road.

The first one was this company that was a door-to-door salesman selling knives. Selling knives, like wtf? They had this weird interrogation seminar about who was to be the next door-to-door salesman and apparently I made it to round 2, or whatever. They asked us to grab our licenses so we could start registering, I got in my car and drove off.

The next one was years later, my friend from school invited me to a sports bar so we could discuss some "business." So naturally I do, I show up, he's all dressed fancy (unconditional for this kid I knew) and I was like oh boy, must be a pyramid scheme. So he goes through this long assed discussion about working on cars, and having other plans on what to do for work, etc... then he busts out this "Plan B" chart and I'm like

"Good to see ya dude"

there IS a reason to review audio now! woohoo! it took us like 8 years to get to this point!

well NG has MOVs available and that seems to be pretty popular, so who's to say people are always animating in flash?

it's a smart idea to be acquainted with flash, and the overall control of what you can do in flash 8/cs flashes make it a very good reason to use flash as oppose to stuff like gimp. it's not like it's impossible, but the versatility of flash makes it a prime choice; it also has limitations which may or may not be a good thing depending on the artist's demands

guys if sonic got onto the super smash brothers brawl roster i see no reason why i can't put gamechanger right next to amaranthus and xenomit

Spoiler: I'd beat them both.

well naturally, i mean star wolf is basically xenomit and gamechanger is practically lucas, these two could team up and they'd still probably find a way to accidentally kill eachother before they dish out any damage

I could be positive, but I find I have way more energy when I am negative.

i just want to take this time that unlike in all of your weird fucked up civilizations built through years and years of concentrated effort to condition your families to the schema of measurements and all that, the U.S is one of the only countries where you dont have to just accept the universal standard everyone else is using. and honestly, that's boring. does knowing one particular metric system really matter as a meteorologist? no, people get mad at you for not making the right prediction for the weather so measurements dont even matter. this is america, we measure with bullets, pepper spray, and bud light. we have no idea how to use a ruler after the age of 19 and if it looks like we do it's because we were contracted to look like we know how to use them.

fuck the metric system. that shit is hard word, aint no one got time to waste on yat

A very serious call to arms.

Now it's just usually about the decline or other stuff not actually involving any content at all, so ppl really don't seem to interested in sharing or discussing content much anymore.

yup, this is especially true - very few people retain to animating in their comfort zones (it's not really a bad thing for some of the artists here), if you've noticed many stick figure animation artists/animators, spriter artists/animators, "fanbase" artists/animators have all pretty much died down (the 'fanbase' animators aren't necessary anyway) - the only things that have been on the rise have really been Egoraptor-styled things (who has been gone from this place for awhile), Krinkels and the Madness community (who is hard at work at Project Nexus 2 with Swain, guy that made Blockhead), and really people basically being UNIQUE.

But you know I still get a kick from the people that try the old tried-and-tested styles of animation and artistry, I find it less engaging that people make games directly from flash or make animations from flash, but fuse the two and make a gamemation which is what my project has basically been the product of after years of effort to fuse a game and animation together.

And that right there is what is missing in our equation - unique, new approaches to old traditions.

Dear @WadeFulp, I wrote you a poem with proper meter. I hope you enjoy it.

This poem is called, "Wade Fulp Flatulent in E Minor: Disco."

There once was a man named Wade,
birthed from disco and New Wave;
In 2000, he made 3 animations but
didn't get an award 'til 1 year later!

He made a Flash like "Pete Leaves a Message,"
no one cared besides maybe Charlton Hessen!
Then came out with the majestic "Bumble Bee",
somehow it won him the front page daily!

One year later, he made one animation -
that's all it took to inspire three generations!
His next two came out maybe one decade later,
"Top Gun 2" inspired hundreds of haters!

I'm pretty sure he is laughing,
to all these cheesy NG BBS masturbaters!
This one's for WadeFulp and all his haters -
you're stormtroopers, he's Darth Wader!
