Okay, Stamper and Johnny; I appreciate you guys attacking the crap entries with extreme prejudice.

As for the rest of you r-tards out there who insist on fucking with this collab; I hope you guys realize that if this becomes the norm, then the staff at NG are just going to stop doing collabs like this.

In short, if you're actually putting effort into this, keep up the good work, if your just jerking off and being a dick on purpose, then go fuck yourself.

I for one have put a lot of work into my entries, and prizes aside, would like a reason to continue my work with flash. I may not have the best stuff out there, and I am painfully aware of the fact I'm still new at this, but that's no reason for me to send in stuff that's half assed. If this collab gets shot down because of people's stupidity, then I'll be quite upset, and can't be held responsible for my future actions towards those responsible.

Sadly, I was planning a third entry to counter balance the quantity of crap that's been sent in, and I appologize to Johnny and Stamper for this, but work has been keeping me busy lately, and I'd feel better not submitting a half finished flash. I somehow feel I've let you guys down somehow, sorry about that. I'll try to make it up to you someday.

Yeah, I know I said I was done, but I'm doing a third one now. Johnny keeps complaining on his blog that there aren't enough MGS2 comming in, so I'm going to do a second Arms Tech style commercial for Metal Gear RAY. I'll probably keep the Arms Tech logo from my Rex commercial, since I'm guessing it's chances aren't very good at making it into the collab, so that gives me about 24 seconds to work with to keep it under the 30 second mark (The logo animation and music runs for about 6 seconds).

I will say this though, Ray will be a bigger challenge to draw then Rex, since it's mostly curved surfaces (Rex was easy because it's very blocky) but I'm up for the challenge. I'd really like to do the water cannon effect, which is Ray's main weapon. Anyway wish me luck, and good luck to all of you.

Got my 2 entries sent in, hope at least one makes the cut. I was going to do 3, but since I'm out of ideas I think I'll play it safe and just stick with the 2 I've sent in. Don't want to over do it.

If Johnny or Stamper manage to read this, I just want to know if you guys received my entries okay. If not I can resend them, and as to wether you're going to use them or not, I'm happy to wait and see if they show up in the finished product or not. It's been great, now to get working on something else for a while. Good luck to everyone else, it's been a blast!

Here's one of Rex, lurking in the desert night, and a very unlucky city about to be remodled in record time.

Finally settled on a slogan for Arms Tech, and it's a pretty good one. My second short is actually a serious one, which shows what Rex is capable of if used properly and closes everything up with a nicely animated Arms Tech logo (in the MGS1 game over style). Here's what it looks like.

Finally finished part 1! I just sent it in too. Hope it makes it in. Here's a screen shot of Ocelot spining his gun for ya.

ok solid snake looks around a corner and sees 8 enemy soldiers and then eh looks down and somehow hes naked and has no weopons then the soldiers start walking towards him and he notices a box so snake jumps in and then the box gets nailed shut and starts moving after a couple hours of boredom he falls asleep and wakes up and hes on the ocean but decides to stay in the box and goes back to sleep he wakes up and hes still so he gets ready to kick the lid off when he grasps a gun that just magicly appeared so he kicks the top of jumps out and shoots a gorilla in the head andlooks around and hes in africa and im prettty shure you guys can continue it from there :D:D

Tell your Mom to stop putting you to sleep with high doses of Nyquil, or a sledgehammer, which ever one is making you dream this shit up. Also, switch to decaf, maybe then people will have an easier time understanding you.

In fact, the only reason as to why I even a groin in the animation is because it is tied in with the game and it was actually seen in a particular scene. If I can get the point across while still maintaining a quality flash, it should come out perfectly...

I never really understood what was so cool about the cardboard boxes. I maybe used it twice while playing MGS3. I ordered the MGS: Essential Edition off of Amazon before I got MGS4, so maybe Snake will use the box in the older games.

The only one I've ever played was the first one, and that's where the cardboard box thing started, if I'm not mistaken. Haven't played the older NES versions, so I couldn't tell you about those.

At 4/13/08 07:24 PM, Stamper wrote: To be honest, we'd just love to see shit that:

1. Isn't a cardboard box joke. The gimmick is getting played out, real fast...

2. Involves characters other than Snake. There's a ton of other characters in the series that have a lot of potential. At this moment, Utah is really the only one I've seen who's most likely not going to use Snake, so his submission might look out of place if others don't do the same.

3. Doesn't use the MGS theme song, if it's constantly used as a background song, it'll get pretty annoying during the collaboration. The soundtracks have tons of music and ambient tracks you could choose from.

I hope people read this...

LOL! You can rest assured that I'm not using any of those cliches. And I though no one would like mine since none of them have Snake in them. My first one involves Revolver Ocelot, and the second is an ad from Arms Tech to sell Metal Gear Rex. Haven't made up my mind on what I want to do for my third one, since I keep changing my mind.

This forum has also been a double edged sword, since I can get feedback on my ideas, but it also makes me more indecisive since I see ideas from other people that I was going to do, so I have to drop them for originality's sake. As for the music, I've really only one song from MGS, and it's the game over music. I'm using it to intro the Arms Tech logo, which I have being writen on the screen the same way the Game Over screen appears in MSG 1. It's a really nice effect, and probably the best flash work I've done to date.

This is my last day of work before I get time off, so I'll be able to put more work into what I've got. Be ready for some screen shots tomorrow afternoon.

That slogan sounds too serious =X Good Luck with it...

"Peace Through Superior Firepower" too serious? Okay... I thought it was kinda fitting. How bout these?

My first slogan was "Wage War in Style!" but I though it was too corny, I also thought "Pwning Smaller Countries Since 1995" was okay, but was a bit long. Any other suggestions?

I've really been motoring along, even did a little voice acting the other day. My second part is almost done, just got to get all the timing right.

I've also been trying to nail down a good slogan for Arms Tech, the company that built Metal Gear Rex. I'm doing a short commercial for Rex, and I'm currently going with "Peace Through Superior Firepower". What do you guys think? Keep it, or chuck it? And if I should chuck it, any suggestions?

Nah, I'm with the Johnny and Stamper on this one. If you give them an inch, then they'll take enough to hang the entire collab. Besides, it's a Metal Gear Collab, not a Brawl Collab. If they want to do Brawl jokes, then they can start their own collab.

Almost forgot, for anyone who's actually played any of the Metal Gear Solid games, there's way more opportunities to make jokes than anything I've seen in Brawl. The staggering number of potentialcock jokes alone would rival anything in Blamformers.

Lol, y'all should really be kinda lenient with the brawl rule.
Its popular, I think even more than Metal Gear itself.. But I understand that y'all also don't want the Collab to be the "Metal Gear and sonic, and mario, and pikachu collab"

Off topic, I'm actually kinda scared of what Stamper might have in store for us, will it top his Blamformers contribution? I shudder at the though.

Got my first skit almost done, I just need to optimize the audio, and I need one more sound clip to finish it off. Does anyone know a website where I can get voice clips from MGS 1? Specifically clips of Revolver Ocelot? I tried recording my own, but combining the crap audio from YouTube with my $10 microphone yeilded less than favorable results.

This is what I've got so far, it's actually the first version of Revolver Ocelot I've drawn from last week. I've updated it a little since then, and animated it.

Got a question though, I've got 2 more submissions planned, do multiple submissions have to be sent in as separate files, or can I send 1 file with all three of my submissions? Don't worry, I'm keeping them all in the 5 to 10 second range.

Also, If someone is actually as shallow as to consider not dating someone over a name, they need to be shot.

Not hot, but most guys with chick names are pretty tough guys. I mean, they'd have to be tough to survive. Toughest guy I know is named Lyndsey, BTW, saw him take on 4 guys at once in a bar brawl and win (till the cops showed up anyway)

Is it because of the dog on his back with the happy rocker face. It's a very funny image. I find that YOSHI is a troll. He ruined the portal.

Ah god, my head is drunk. I'm sorry.

Betty ain't funny, just a sad, angry 13 year old who can't even come up with clever comebacks to people who flame him. 9 times out of 10 you'll get a "FUCK YOU JOIN THE BETTYBALLERS QUEER!" or some other lame ass shit. The only funny thing I've ever found about betty are the people who flame him. Case in point...

Just finished my storyboard and script, now to get it done in flash. All I'm going to say is there's going to be a couple of guest appearances from another popular Konami game, and Snake creatively uses some of his C4.

Count me in!

I like this idea. Maybe you could make it a hybrid of a beat'em up and fighter, you know, like the beat'em up part is your hero(s) making their way to the boss, fighting minions and such. Once you get to a boss fight, it'll be a bit more like a fighter. I think this is somewhere along the lines of what Tekken does with the beat'em up games they include with the fighting game. Just a thought, but keep working on it, looks pretty cool and I'd like to give it a spin when it hits the portal.

I don't mean to bump the topic, but I was really hoping to get more than 1 response to my thread. I've got one person who says it looks good, I'd like to hear more opinions too, maybe a question or two? Please?

This is what happens when you take natural selection out of the equation, the ones that should have died because they did something dumb live to breed. What do you get? A new generation of retards that survive simply because society has taken out the dangers that would normally cull them from the herd.

As for the internet, people tend to act like retards because there's no way someone can reach through the screen and choke the ever living shit out of them for being such a retard. Think of it this way, would being invincible make you an asshole? I know if I was bulletproof, I'd talk more shit than I normally would. No one could do anything about it.

Then there's Linux or Lynux, I forget which one,
Which works real great, if you can get it to run.
And the nerds all say "That's half the fun!"
But I've got a girlfriend and things to get done,
Cause every OS sucks!

From "Every OS Sucks" a song by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie.

I have a sneeking suspision that there's some trick being used to subvert the voting process on these stupid flashes, but it's much more plausible that there's just mass voting 5's on shit submissions just because the author knows people. I'm not 100% sure exactly how they get through, but if I had to choose an explanation and stick to it, I'd blame it all on stat whoring. Why? There's no effort in just hitting 5 and moving on to the next flash, don't even have to watch it. Voting 5 will get you the points, and keep you out of trouble with the admins because if you mass vote 0 then they'll notice. That's my theory, as full of holes as it is. Any other ones out there?

sorry, you aren't allowed to discuss getting free software here, it's stealing+illegal.

Wait a sec, aren't there freeware programs out there that let you publish .sfw files? I could be wrong though. Meh, I got my copy of CS3 from a friend who didn't use it anymore, so what do I care.

I think Olympus Burger would be right at home on Adult Swim, the trouble is getting the network to agree with us here on NG.

As for other Gods to be featured, I'd love to see Hephastus (hope I spelled that right) the God of the Forge. He could be some gimped tech junkie, with a crush on Aphrodite. I think that'd be pretty cool. Good luck to ya if you plan on making the move to TV.

Thanks, I was scared that what I've done so far would be kinda substandard compared to some of the other stuff on NG, then again I'm not really an artist to begin with.

Dug this out of my blog posts; the latest version of the S-Type Zaku has a few changes, and I've also finished the side and back profiles, but the basic style is still the same. If you look at the bottom pic in my previous post, you'll notice this particular MS in the front of the group, followed by a Zaku 1, and a J-Type Zaku bringing up the rear.

Surprisingly enough, I drew these based on action figures I collect.
