Am I lost in an endless abyss

[gumOnShoe]

I don't understand the sticks. the mindless violence and crappy videos. And they make it in every day. EVERYDAY!!! It is pretty bad, but then you get those numba numba rip offs with nothing but a flashing black circle (at least those get blammed) WHY!?!?!?!

Let me just say this......................welcome to Newgrounds.

Feel free to look around and get a feel for how things go.

Somethings are highly debated, some not understood, and some generally known.

There is no one true answer to the questions you have and others that will come.

Time is the best answer to give you. Because in time, you will hopefully just see that some things just...........are and sometimes things just work out a certain way.

[FLCLmonkey]

Yay for people who just came on the forum to post a pointless topic that people like me have to go "Yay etc. etc." sarcastically to!

[Fagtron]

There are way too many spam topics out right now. People need to cool it on the shit topics.

Now as for staying on topic..... Welcome to NG!

[lopuj]

what r u talking about.

[gumOnShoe]

Its not that i am new to newgrounds. I have known of it for well over two years. I am just tired of all the crap, and have can't make reviews because of the bad videos. Insulting them one too many times...

I saw your sign up date. I know you aren't new as in physically. But after all this time you haven't ever just thought that things are going a certain way and that is how it is?

Or you haven't seen others complain and complain, question, whine, bitch, or whatever and yet things are still the same?

People make stick movies probably because it is easier and they can't animate that well. Violence wins over a lot of people so it makes sense to throw that in there.

I can't imagine a poorly done stick movie with a lot of depth and character development since all characters will mostly likely look the same.

There is one reasonable explanation that can apply to many situations. There. Feel better? I know you could have or even did think of that.

This was basically more like, "I don't like stick movies and people keep making crappy ones."

.......duh. Another secret I'll let you in on is it probably doesn't look like it'll slow down anytime soon either.

you mean numa numa?

and about the stick flashes. they may suck, but people need a place to start off right? you cant just get flash and start pumping out fallen angels. you have to start with sticks.

[gumOnShoe]

I did think of that, this won't change anything, just wanted some inspiration to keep going, i've seen to many bad movies make it through, not just sticks...

[gumOnShoe]

you don't have to start with sticks, i never touched a stick and i made it onto ng... but i get your point, its more the people who submit the same undeveloped video that get on my nerves

Yin and Yang. Life.

For one thing there is always another.

It will always be bad movies, but there will always be good. Now what is bad to you may be good to another and vice versa.

Focusing on the negative in your eyes is only going to make you that much more frustrated.

You see a bad movie, you move on until you find something you like because ultimately you will.

[nalyD]

just be glad you dont do it.

that makes no since.

[X-Naut]

You could be. But that's my opinion.

[Ineffiable]

Just to let you know, only browse the front page.

And also, the forums is the funniest place on NG.

And welcome to the dark demented abyss of the Newgrounds BBS.

Please don't luff the SMC.

You will eventually get used to them. A stick figure is the most basic representation of the human form. Therefore, it is very simple to represent a human being with a simple drawing. Many beginning flash artists tend to use sticks, because of their simplicity. As you probably know, a stick figure is an incredible amount easier to animate then a full drawn, colored, and shaded person. That is why you see them being submitted everyday. Just look at it as a stepping stone to some higher levels of flash animation.

Well many people try to be funny and mass vote to pass shit in the portal. That sums it up.

[gumOnShoe]

It is a kingdom hearts parody, not meant to insult or raise it up on a pedistool just looking at the quirks. The first is on the portal and you can check it out. Kingdom Hearts Keyholder. I would probably not vote it high now with my experience. The second is a large upgrade on the graphics. I have been at it for a year, but I know it doesn't belong in the top fifty at all. I will probably move on to more of my own ideas after this video and allow anyone who wants to continue the series to continue it

I apoligize for the sound though, i have a really bad microphone. I know the work it takes... and i redrew Sora about five times before i was happy with the new one. It will be realesed hopefully in a few weaks. In response to your question.
