| StrawberryClock. Love him or hate him, he’s a Newgrounds veteran. With a crew molded after him, and a name legendary to Newgrounds, he’s certainly not an anybody. Here’s a conversation I had with him over the internet. |
|
When did you first come to Newgrounds.com, and what did you think of it?
Well my friend gave me a link to Newgrounds.com, this was before the portal. I liked the Pico games (and) shit, (and) then the portal opened, where you could submit any movies you want. I submitted some movies under ‘Coolboyman’ that sucked cause I was just starting out at flash, and I didn’t really care. There were no reviews; the review system wasn’t in yet.
What was your first submission under the name StrawberryClock, and what was the general response to it?
Well it was ‘How da bitch stole X-mas’. I was bored so I made a crap movie and submitted it under a different name. Everyone hated it, (and I) laughed at the reviews.
How old were you when you submitted your first movie to the Newgrounds portal?
14.
And how old are you now?
18.
When did the Clock Crew arise, and how did you feel about that?
Well it started when I submitted B. I thought those people were kinda crazy, (haha), loving my crappy movies, but they are good guys, almost every clock.
What do you think most Newgrounds users see you as?
An idol or a complete dumbass. I’d take 50/50.
Why did you change your name and stop submitting Clock movies? Do you think people were disappointed about that?
Well (Josh) Bedn took my account and now it’s lost and no one can retrieve it, (but) I was bored with CC for a while.
How did Bedn end up getting your account?
He had this password hacker thing. (He took it) in 2001. I don’t care as long as people know that me = SBC.
Did you visit any of the Clock Crew forums, or take part in the Clock Day every year?
Well I took place in Clock Day on 2002 and 2004. On 2003 I was busy. And yes, I visit the forums.
How do you feel about the majority of clocks breaking off into groups, and creating forums all over the place, which then died off and caused a lot of clocks to leave and disband the crew?
Well it’s their choice to make; I can’t control that, so basically I don’t mind at all (not caring).
So basically, it wasn't really that much of a thing to you, having a group of people that formed because of your 'shitty' flash?
No, I was very surprised that the group formed because of my bad flash, and I cared a lot about them. I just don’t care about the "other groups", like the Lock Legion. I couldn’t seriously care less about (those groups).
So where are you now concerning flash? Do you still fool around with it, or have you moved on? Do you go to school?
Well I’m making some flashes with actual effort (I’ve said that for a while, it takes time!), and yeah, I go to college. I always make shitty movies just for fun.
Who's your favorite author on Newgrounds? Any favorite submissions?
Well there’s this young man, called Gerkinman, I really like his flash, it isn’t anything super special, but I’m sure that he will get somewhere with it one day. And favorite submissions... most clock movies, Retarded Animal Babies, etc. And horribly crappy movies that were meant to be crappy on purpose. I always laugh at those.
What are your views on the more popular flash artists, such as Illwillpress, LegendaryFrog, or Zipperfish?
Illwillpress’s movies sometimes have their moments. Otherwise its just repetitive crap. LegendaryFrog could get his movies on TV, but he shouldn’t act so arrogant.
What do you see yourself doing in the future? Do you have any plans?
Well I’m thinking of working in the video gaming industry, I already got lots of pals there, and I do awesome jobs designing maps, as well as writing.
Thanks for your time. Any last words before I make this look pretty and send it to Tom?
Yeah. You cannot kill Strawberry Clock.
