I think this is stolen. Other than posting a bunch of links in the description which don't seem to work, they've provided no proof that they're the real Jaiden.

Not to mention that Jaiden has her own Newgrounds account here. https://jaidenanimations.newgrounds.com/

I just noticed that the new account's name is "JaidenReUpload." Not so sneaky.

I ghosted the entirety of Dishonored. This is not sneaky enough to get by me.

ghosting in this context means not being seen once by enemies. Also, go and play Dishonored if you haven't.

Dishonored 2, though, is a different story. Do that next, Asandir!

*Bows*

You have the patience of a saint to be able to do that. I think I got halfway through my ghost play through and had to stop because I could feel the vein in my neck about to pop.

Dishonored is a fantastic game though.


Haven't played the second one due to early impressions on the pc version being that it basically ran like garbage. It's supposedly better now but I haven't tried the demo for that yet. I've mostly played Visual Novels lately (Steins;Gate, Danganronpa).

Uses a song they don't have the rights to "Hopes and dreams" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz82xbLvK_k


Uses this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT5nVMEjoyU

and this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YREhVveHq9k


Same uploader, also using stolen music, from Kenny Chesney https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de1aPKXBdAE


This one uses a Panic at the disco song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPXIgEAGe4U

Uses Living Tombstone's "no mercy" song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0RmRJsgP28

It would appear that most of their videos use stolen music.

I mean, it doesn't fit the bill of "flash movie or game", but it's not exactly against the rules... Is it?

It's gameplay footage of a game he did not create. It has been removed.

Now, in my eyes, they aren't Flash / HMTL5 animations, so they don't belong on NG, however it appears a couple have got through.

Am I right in thinking that they don't belong if they are literally just videos with no animation at all?

Furthermore, when I do see a video in the portal, should I flag it? If so, flag it against what... Or should I just try and blam it?

I'm unsure, so I thought I'd ask. Perhaps it would spark a bit of discussion!


Which videos are you talking about? Any specific ones?


There are some exceptions, like speedpaints and some live action stuff that actually has a script to it and what not. We still don't allow any live action crap like a kid screaming into a video camera or anything like that.

It appears I can not find any real life videos anymore, perhaps they were caught after I had already voted on them.


I know I removed one yesterday.

Okay, so in regards to the live action stuff or kids screaming into the void, should we flag them? If so, how? Like flag it and just say "Live video - does not belong" or...?


Yes, flag them and just say "No animation" or anything along those lines. And if you're ever not sure, just post any video you have a concern about here.


Speedpaints on the other hand, like this one that has just got through:

//www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/728423

Why are they allowed? It's just music & a screen capture? It doesn't matter that they are allowed, I'm just asking, what makes them different from video being captured on a camera?


I personally don't like that they're allowed either, but they are. Tom doesn't see a real problem with them, i guess. Probably because the process of an artwork being created is being shown. I don't have much of an answer to that one, but they've really always been allowed.

I am surprised this passed judgment. It seems like porn gets an automatic +1.4 or so to the score.

Well, a 5 seconds gif gets a score around 2.5. Just look here https://jestervgb.newgrounds.com/movies

They upload short gifs because they can't upload the SFM stuff to the art portal.

Slap them things with a 0! If you vote 2 to get a protection point, you cheapen the site by allowing that crap thru. Maybe if some of this stuff got blammed, people might put effort into non-porn stuff. Yeah, I don't think so either, but I still hit every A rated anything with a 0 on principle. I can lose a protection point to keep my character about me. ...or 50. ...or 150...

Actually Exedor, I whole-heartedly disagree with you.


And I wholeheartedly agree with you, Lizzardis.


That is literally not what we're about. We want to give each submission a fair assessment. You can't just discriminate against a certain type of submission because it's rated A. I wouldn't mind, some of these NSFW submissions are actually pretty well made. The couple of games I've seen come through are quite good, and even the couple of minute montages of furries or characters fucking, are actually really well made.

This doesn't mean that they should immediately be given a 0 score. You're forgetting, Adult content has seen a MASSIVE spike in the past 10, or even 5 years due to more people having access to the technology required to produce it. Now literally anybody can create a sexy scene with their favourite characters, and that isn't a bad thing.


Exactly, this may not be your way of working but I, as someone who reviews, go to painstaking lengths to make sure my vote is honest. Seriously. It van take me a long-ass time. Because I know for every blam I don't really mean I'm dooming a submission forever. I'm discouraging someone. Now, yes, 2 second loops would probably get a 0 or 1 from me, but giving a 0 to "any A rated anything" is just ridiculous. You can't judge a submission some way because you personally don't like a trend/concept that is completely allowed and has been allowed since Newgrounds was founded. You're not judging a submission by its quality, you're judging it by your personal agenda and that, my comrade-in-arms, is a form of zero-bombing. Yes, I sometimes give Madness tests 0s instead of 0.5s when I'm not sure it deserves a 0.5 because we gotta discourage those, but that's because they're not finished works. I don't go through tests and mass 0-bomb without looking at them.


It's not our job to discriminate. It's our job to give each submission a fair review & to flag anything that is deemed inappropriate. I seriously think you shouldn't start spreading the idea of immediately giving a 0 on a specific type of submission & keep things like that to yourself if you're so hell bent on doing it. Blamming a submission should be based on quality & a number of other factors. Not just because the submission does not fit your personal taste.


Yes. I have discovered this place has some... unwritten rules that are to be enforced but not revealed to people.


This place is not a blam club. Period.


True. This behavior is not the kind of example the EGB (especially its moderators) should set.

Here we have something interesting. Flash game gameplay. It's electric man 2, a game I've beaten twice I think. Even says so at the end of the video "it's just a game soz"


You can find the game here, I don't think think it's on Newgrounds

I basically agree with both of these happy fappers. There's nothing inherently wrong with an adult submission, and even accounting for subjective taste it'd be hard to justify a fair 0 on many of them.

Same here. My 0 button is relatively rarely used, regardless of rating.

Didn't expect this to blow up, but I was just stating "the state of the portal". In the end, the voting is just a matter of opinion. I do vote lots of 0s because I think there's a lot of trash here.


I wish that there was a rule against movies that is less than 5 seconds, because if you look away for a moment, you've missed the entire thing. Shitty looping doesn't really help.

Yeah, I dispense 0s too when it's necessary. Tons of tests and stuff with 0 effort. The rule would maybe be nice, yeah. It's rarely possible for something under 5 seconds long to justify being in the movie portal.
