Another thing, I was referring to ACTUAL MOVIES, not webcam V-Blogs or anything.

Recording your shows isn't art, like animating is. You might be funny and all but still wouldn't belong to Newgrounds, which is originally for flash.

I have seen your last submission and you put a link to Youtube there, therefore the video is obviously prentended to have a showcase there. Submitting here a short clip, is, from my point of view, a try to advertise yourself in as many websites as possible. I've also seen Knox and I dislike the whole claymation stuff, but I recognise that making the clay characters takes an effort. Stop motion movies (Dustball is the better example) can be really good and require creativity to make something enjoyable.

Okay okay you might have written the jokes of your monologues and stuff, but if you want to be recognised for that branch of humor, go try Paramount Comedy, instead of trying in a website in which 97% of the stuff has been drawn.

Let's keep the internet organised.

Oh boo hoo. It comes with the territory. You can't come onto a Flash site and not expect any guff.

Also, if you fancy yourself a good writer, try as quickly as possible to grow out of childish turns of phrase like "If you argue, you only prove my point!". It's no different than when grade 4 kids would yell things like "Next person to talk is gay!" Logic should carry your point.

Wow...you are right and definitely pissed

well ya gotta see it as where this site came from it started as a FLASH portal and that's all but back then flash didn't have the capabilities that it does now like full on video. I guess it's just that times they are a changing. I remember i started using flash back in like 96 or 97. And it was hard to make a line move across the screen. I guess my only big complaint about those types of movies is that they aren't really made in flash. you use a myriad of other programs and make the movie, then just import it into flash. In a sence you are not actually making a flash movie. You are using flash as a delivery system for a movie you have made already. This is where people tend to get pissy. They want to see a beautiful work of art that was made IN FLASH and to be viewed on a FLASH website. If you notice in the menu, it still says FLASH PORTAL and not video portal. Hell maybe they should just cave in and start a video portal.

Your videos have definitely been rated fairly. Your stuff is good, but it doesn't stand out. If you made the same jokes in flash, it would probably do just as well unless you were really good with animation. And that would only bring up the score because of the extra effort. If you want great scores and a big fanbase, you need to work on your material.

And don't make something that you think people will laugh at. You'll just set yourself up to be disappointed when they don't. Make stuff that you enjoy and you laugh at. If other people laugh, that's a bonus. None of the good stuff on newgrounds comes from planned success. It just happens.

robattle 2007-08-23 23:37:53

GTFO our internetz.

You Youtube fanboy.

Smashedsmurf 2007-08-23 23:51:52

Djnet has a good point. This brings me to another thing. I hate seeing things on Newgrounds being put on Youtube and that starts a fucking craze all over the place. It happened at my school with Charlie the Unicorn. It's absordiculous.

Even though it says Everything by Everyone, doesn;t mean that we can't express our opinion. I think movies like the ones you talk don't belong here because NG is about submitting pieces of art that are made by yourselfs. Ofcourse, you might think that acting is an art on its self but that's not what NG is about.

Think about it. The possibility to submit multiple files can be made, but has not been used for this site for one reason only and that's because this a Flash site.

Saying you may submit what you want just because the title is Everything by Everyone is typical for someone with no good arguement. What if this would never have been chosen to be the NG slogan? Then you would not have any (shitty) arguement.
If you want to be a bitch about shit like this, go fucking read EVERYTHING before you write this. Example: go to the portal and read on left " Click here to submit your FLASH WORK to the NG portal"

Second, got to the 'about' section and read this: "1. Newgrounds is the original - and still the largest - Flash portal on the web."

Third, the 'faq' section: "Newgrounds is a website for people who love to make Flash games and movies and those who love them. The focal point of NG is the Flash Portal, where users submit their homemade games and movies so that other users may view and critique them."

I believe that makes the score 3 for Vincoid and 0 for Dipshit.
