You forgot about the people that are actually happy that it's not coming out, like PIGPEN and rtil, because, God forbid, people want things that are entertaining, not always a fucking competition.
Yeah I agree. I kinda would like the idea that the collab may be canceled. That way submissions could be made for the fun of it rather than competing for some prizes. It makes sense that it's not coming out too. All of this waiting and lack of updates and things not adding up, I doubt we're really going to have a collab in the end.
Ok, people. A few delays are one thing, but the impatience is getting alittle too high. Oh no, a couple of well excused issue have been announced, suddenly it's not happening at all? You guys are being way too negative. They said they were workin' their asses off, so let's assume they're workin' their asses off.
Jeff and Stamper are not ones to just give up on something like this. The amount of hype built up for this is too gut wrenching for them to turn their backs on. Give 'em some credit guys.
PATIENCE MY FRIENDS.
I feel I'm misinterpreted.
I want the collab to come out, and any hard time I gave to Jeff and Stamper was just nothing more than poking fun at them. I will gladly wait if it means that the final product will be better.
However, I waltzed into another blog post (I think it was Stamper's follow up) and there were people that were actually happy that the collab was supposedly cancelled, people that many people would regretfully recognize on this site.
And that just pisses me off to no end, because this site is run by some very awesome people (Tom especially, one of the most generous people I've heard of) and has several cool contributors, and they do what they do for fun, and nothing more.
But then you have a bunch of pretentious assholes that have to rain on these everyone's parades just for the sake of being pretentious assholes. I participated in this collab because it looked like a lot of fun, and I did it for my friend who is a huge Metal Gear fan.
And outside of the collab, you have people like Egoraptor, Tomamoto, Kagome, and several others that do what they do because they enjoy it and want other people to enjoy their work, too. But no, according to the aforementioned pretentious assholes, they're not allowed to enjoy what they do, nor are other people allowed to, so they, for the last time, be pretentious assholes.
And that's what I was getting at before. There aren't just people that think that the collab is cancelled and people that think it isn't. You have a bunch of cynical morons that have to take everything on this site so seriously and act like it's all one big competition, not just a site for showing off your talent and letting others enjoy what you do. They're actually happy the collab is (supposedly) cancelled.

Sorry, I had to let all that out. As much as I love Newgrounds, there are certain aspects I don't, but I don't blame the staff for that.
