are the top 2000 users really that stupid to vote 3 staff toons into the top 5 movies and games? and didn't the madness submissions already compete in their own contest anyways?

sadly this is one of the first months where i had no desire to watch anything at all on NG. im sure some of it is good, i just have lost all interest in finding out what is good and what isn't :(

impressive sprite film is an oxymoron

Seriously though, its not that bad.

yes it is.

alvin earthworm is the definition of an untalented hack using the popularity of others' work for his own personal gain. all he did was come up with the "brilliant" idea of combining 3 things (mario, sonic, and DBZ) that hopeless 14 yr old nerds such as yourself are obsessed with. this made him disproportionately popular, despite the fact that he rarely if ever uses his own artwork, which basically means his work is plagiarism and constitutes copyright infringement.

worst series on ng hands down

That's why you just need to have all the people contribute to the story together. Make a forums topic, everyone post an idea, or a word that would be included somehow, then everyone shapes the story together.

i attempted to do this with dailytoon 400 and am currently attempting to do it again with a different collab.

and i agree, NG needs more organized collabs that follow some sort of storyline or narrative even if its vague. luis seems to be the only collab organizer on here who has done anything like that. we need more collabs like "pass my flash" and less mindless music videos

tom was talking about the next mega collab being based on a totally original idea. why not a collab that follows a storyline and isn't just a series of videogame jokes that only nerds understand? i would say splitting up the workload would be the best way to make something really worthwhile. you have the best writers working on the script and storyboard, the best audio artists working on the sound effects and music, the best animators doing the artwork, etc.

that method could end up producing a really high quality short film, if you chose the right people. but in order for it to work, like mindchamber said, you'd have to have one single director orchestrating everything. i'd like to think there are at least some artists on this site who are willing to leave their egos at the door for the better of the whole, but thats probably a little too idealistic. if the staff tried to organize something like that though, i'd sure as fuck be interested.

great speech.

this site probably wouldn't exist without ralph bakshi. he's one of the original animators who had the balls to make adult cartoons in a genre where you were required to dumb down your work in order to cater to kids. ha, little did they know back then kids were just as sick of the disney kiddie bullshit as the animators were. the explosion of adult animations in TV, movies, and the web in the 90s and 2000s can at least partially be attributed to him.

and he's totally right about there being no excuses anymore for animators not making something. who cares if its bad? just make it and if it sucks you'll learn from your mistakes and get better.

theres the small matter of his flashes being overrated, and the fact that he got the job animating weebl's crappy loops even though zekeyspaceylizard was far more qualified. but that's not the real issue

the stories ive been told from people who met him in real life are creepy as fuck. i won't go into detail, but i think you'll agree with me. you NEVER grope another person if they aren't OK with it. you NEVER try to molest an underaged girl while she's sleeping. and you NEVER try to look up the skirt of another man's girlfriend.

those dont even cover half of the shit wonchop has done to other NG members irl.

what do you mean "self" indulgence? they did it for the indulgence of everyone who hates mindless videogame loving idiots. as you can see by this thread, there are plenty of people who are getting sick of the endless videogame parodies on the frontpage. tom fulp included. the thousands of hilarious reviews on metal gear funnies are for ALL of these people to enjoy, not just the makers of the collab

Let's say someone dies in a violent murder and the crime scene photos somehow leak onto the internet. Then some little 15 year old goes and photoshops it and makes it the next goatse phenomenon. That's completely disrespectful to the family of that person but what excuse do you have for it? I'M JUST DOING IT FOR THE LULZZ!! I know that's a worst case scenario but are you saying that's not being a complete asshole?

Wait I think some /b/tards already did that on ED before...

really? defiling your favorite videogame flash is as bad as leaking crime scene photos?

wow you're an idiot.

Which would then be called trolling which would then be called being an asshole.

being an asshole over the internet isnt really being an asshole. it is done purely for amusement. if you can't get a kick out of the hilariously stupid abusive reviews on metal gear funnies, i don't know what's wrong with you. even if you hated the flash, you've gotta love how the reviews and score just prove the flash's point

I second that. They are great animators, and I like both their movies (for different reasons obviously) but Egoraptor seems like the better person. All rtil does is bitch about how Newgrounds is going into the shit and 'proper' flashes like his should get all the attention. I used to like him but now he just comes off as an asshole.

did you ever consider that rtil might not really be a complete asshole, and only acts that way to get a reaction like the one he got from this topic's creator?
