Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Skullkid was one of the first flash games that I ever played on here, and I was probably too young back then to be playing it. The fact that I still remember it today tells you something about how good it was for the time. Fly high, Chance.

I haven't played The Skullkid, for almost nine years, fucking hell, everyone is dying lately. Who's next, Newgrounds?

stop droping everyone

R.I.P

Oh, I was wondering why it showed up on the Front Page all of a sudden. That game will never get old. RIP.

At first i didn't know who this guy was.
But when i found out that this young man made the first thing i ever watch or played from this website.
It might be the first game i ever played on the internet.

His game The Skullkid made me realise how interesting this website is, so thank you Chance! :)
And i thank him for letting me know how much talent there is on this website.

A man with so much talent should never had been laid to rest in such a young age :(
It's shocking to think that this stuff happens often on this site.
Its kinda scary when you think about it.

Rip Chance :(

Man I haven't played this game since I was 10 years old before I sign up to Newgrounds. I actually played this game on another website before I even knew about Newgrounds. He will be missed :(

Wow, surprised I never came across this before. RIP.

Exacte Mundo Tom. Kick up dirt.Show the world whats in you.
Spit on the naysayers, show the world what you can do.
Rock the Stage because its YOUR stage.
Show your strengths, everybody has some.
And when you havent found them,search for them,get to your core.
Legends never die.No matter how big they are.

Love and Peace to all of you.

Hell. That was the first game I played here on Newgrounds, makes me think of all the time that has passed since then. It's pretty cool that we'll all show respect when a member of the community dies. anyway, RIP Chance Banning, the guy who got me grounded for playing his skullkid game.

The Skullkid was an absolutely fun game. It's such a shame that korded has passed. R.I.P. korded, you have my condolences and respect.

may his soul rest in peace.a sad day for newgrounds.

I seconded this, rest in peace to all of them.

You forgot about Randy Solem, which I think you should have mentioned his name in your post too, since he was also such a great animator, in sprite animation that is. (So rest in peace to him, as well.)

Skull Kid was one of the very first games I ever played on NewGrounds. In fact it might have even been the first. A tragic loss; when I saw the game on the front page it was such a nostalgia trip, but disappointing knowing the reason. Rest in peace Chance; condolences to your loved ones.

might be safe to say that he touched our lives in way, here. the skullkid was great, i really loved sawing through the office. his making that @ 16 is really impressive, thanks for sharing that TomFulp. Chance Banning...definitely a great inspiration. i understand he was a really good guy.

I used to hang out with this guy! Man,good times! We played his game skullkid till midnight. He will be missed. I love this dude (no homo). In fact,when we first met,back in like 2006,he slapped me because I offended him somehow,then we became friends. LOVE THE DUDE,AND KEEP STROLLIN SKULLKID,FOR YOU'RE IN NEWGROUNDS HEAVEN NOW! Hope you have a good time in heaven dude,brohoof! /)

what a shitty fucking game

He has lived well, and his ghost shall rest easy.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

Almost considered not posting due to poor taste, but it's so fitting.

Another person who is dead.

The only difference,is that it is the person who uploaded the skullkid. Dammit i even played that game when i was like 4 or 5. It was such a fun game.

I'll miss him,Rest In Peace fellow ;(

After checking out the game I found out I was wrong about the fact I didn't know the game. Now I've realized why most people here on Newgrounds are sad about the loss of Chance. I hope he's in heaven making games with God.

Damnit, why does everyone popular in Newgrounds die? What's next?
