Is My name jinxing me on newgrounds 2009-01-31 06:14:47 Reply

I never complain about my flash movie scores but now i'm getting frustated with flash animation. When I come up with something oringinal or something that hasn't been done before nobody watches it. but when a common thing has been done over and over again everyone loves it and goes apeshit over it. I'm a fair sport i know that some movies are really good and end up beating mine no doubt about it but I don't think i've gotten the fair chance that everyone else gets.

If you think i'm complaining look at all the bad flashes that those crappy groups like KKK or some other crap everyone is right there commenting viewing and rating(though i know it's badly but still get more views)

I get irritated also cause i think the fact that I like Yoshi everyone freaking hates me that doesn't make any since at. What are your opinion on this?

I think your movies have received fair and decent scores, you may want to create some icons for the contributions submitted in 09.

As far as your user name goes, it may jinx you in other ways than you've stated.

No not at all. I understand everyone has their opinions i believe that more than anyone but i'm just saying I can't get better at anything if i keep getting ignored everytime i upload a new movie or it doesn't get noticed. I could understand it was blamed but nothing no comments suggestions nothing at all.

not necessarily true though, once I submitted "10 yo girl bikini gallery" and it got 2,000 views within a few hours. How many galleries of 10 yo girls do you see?

10 year old bikini gallery....WTF?

meh no worries, it happens. people hate me because i like the thing after which ive named my account too.

So i'm not the only one that suffer from this

icon, name, rating, file size, etc.

good icon, interesting name, and low file size help your views

so does adult content

Why should i resort to adult content to get the attention of people. i'm trying to make something worth watching not a cheap porn flick.....

Reviews are mostly useless anyway though. "WOOT THAT WAS COOL" and "this sucked" are typical NG reviews in terms of constructive advice.

the review request crew might be able to help a little bit

Review request crew huh.....I didn't no anything about that i will have to look that up.


10 year old bikini gallery....WTF?

No thanks i'm not gonna do that


the implication being that you should upload one and get a lot of views

So i'm not the only one that suffer from this
your average NG user is superficial as hell. Lots of people suffer because of that.

Well least that makes me feel a little better. I say newgrounds should have a rule where people can't review until they actually made decent reviews(5 or 6) with the newgrounds crew looking at it then allowing them to.

Don't forget to add good icons like cast suggested. Bad icons or no icons can be a turn off. Irfanview, a free image editor, is a good little tool for cropping/resizing/converting images and tends to produce high-quality.

i'm tk
Alright. i'm going to seriously make images for the 4 movies I uploaded this year. I hope this works out I'm taking your advice seriously

That's not you, that's just the general stupidity of people on Newgrounds. It happens to a lot of flash artists. Work on your flash skills even though people only like shitty flash (eg. Pinapples, Buttfights: Raw), and submit your masterpiece to another website.

I watched one of your flash movies. I don't like sprite movies, and it wasn't exactly the best movie I have ever seen. Don't make flash movies to get views make em for the joy of flashin'.

Send Wade an email and ask him to change it. I hate playing with people on XBL who say like "OH MAN, I REALLY DIDN'T THINK THROUGH MY NAME :(" I actually thought mine through because I didn't want to waste $10 the next time I got a good idea.

I don't mean to offend anyone, but you must understand that people are easily amused, especially on the Internet. They like things that are repetitive, un-original, and just time-wasting. And do you know why? It's because no one cares so long as they are happy and satisfied.

I haven't heard any of that yet, but I have had a few friends change their Gamertags a few times.

And on topic, your name is kinda a jinx, but it's also quality that counts. Better is good.

Some neo-Nazi record companies make actual videogames...

So I wouldn't be shocked. I think he means the KK, though.
