Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I'm back from comicon and pleased I can enjoy the crisp coolness of air conditioning once again. Sweating for 5 straight days is a total burden BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING.

I met a few NG people for the first time.. The Swain is a really swell guy. He stayed by the booth and promoted newgrounds like a champ while I was snivelling like a faggot in the back because I was all tired. Krinkels may look crazy from a distance, but he's also a guy you'd be happy to back up in a bar room brawl. Well, I WAS thinking he was pretty level headed, then I asked him how he can tolerate animating those madness cartoons of his, due to the thousands and thousands of movements..then he was like "fuck tweening, I keyframe that shit" and it blew my mind so hard, let me tell you. Yes I'll say that again, MADNESS CARTOONS ARE KEYFRAMED WHAT THE HOLY FUCK. That's so god damn amazing to me, and I respect that fear him even more. Luksy was also a nice guy. He explained how he hated my 300 Queers cartoon and gave it a terrible review. I made sure to make him feel awkward about it, then told him I kinda hated it too. I then made fun of his slovenian accent for a straight hour like a total dick. He makes great games, as you can see so I didn't have much else to hold against him. At dinner we also hung out with the creator of fancypants adventures and many other ng regulars. Hell, I even liked a certain 14 yr old uber-fan who seems to be getting a lot of flack in the comicon webcan thread, but believe me, if you saw how hard he was selling newgrounds to the passers by..either successfully or annoying them, it was hilarious. You can't not be amused.

ALSO

I'm PLEASED AS PUNCH (whatever that means), that I dont have to look at anymore out of shape naruto ninjas, fat barbarians, nerds with 8 ft. foam swords (that would be slaughtered in a flat second in a real battle), as well as all the geeks in tights, whoever the hell they were supposed to be.

Anyways, now I'm rambling...I'm back and I got work to do.

ADIOS MUCHACHOS

It seems like the fat narutos would be funny at first, but then get just annoying.

Does Matt tween then highlight-F6? Thats what I do sometimes to decrease the file size.

Wait...where are the stories about getting laid by all the hot Princess Leah girls ! Honestly ! And did stamper get anyone pregnant ?
One year I will go and I will be confused as I really wont be able to recognise anyone other than Tom and then I will feel all awkward and wont probably say anything other than a stupid question or two...I hate myself :(

Jul. 31, 2007 | 10:46 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

ill let stamper tell you in his own words aboust his adventures.

and every semi attractive girl there was SURROUNDED by sweaty failures with cameras, it was beautiful.

"snivelling like a faggot"

This is my new favorite expression haha

Also, I'm starting to think I won't be hearing back from the waitress at the Mexican Restaurant... I should have cut out on the eighth beer.

Jul. 31, 2007 | 11:01 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

some bitch pinched my ass on the way out...i dunno what that was about.

Jul. 31, 2007 | 11:05 PM Masquatto says:

I was there. :0
I was going to introduce myself to you guys, but I felt like it would just end up with you guys thinking "who the hell is that?" and forgetting about it.

For madness: you can't tell by looking at it that it's keyframed? One can tell pretty easily that the movements aren't uniform enough to be tweened, I always thought... :0

"I'm PLEASED AS PUNCH..."
Yes. Very much this. Did you go to the masquerade? The whole thing was sadsauce. When the ninjas in the Ninja vs. Pirate show at the masquerade ended up being "Naruto ninjas," I finally just walked out.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 12:07 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

i mean ...i guess...maybe. they always looked unusally smooth...but i never even imagined he would have the outright BALLS to try keyframing allo that.

I guess I was just in denial.

Jul. 31, 2007 | 11:29 PM Bantilan says:

I want to be there also????

Aug. 1, 2007 | 12:08 AM FrozenFire says:

Aug. 1, 2007 | 12:39 AM manwith10toes says:

THERE KEY FRAMED? what the fucking hell.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 1:16 AM Luis says:

yeah krinkels keyframes i find that insane.. i remember working with one of his files back for my halloween movie last year.. boggles the mind.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 1:23 AM FrozenFire says:

I find your artwork pretty good, but i realize its mostly shading and highlighting, and then (Im guessing) A seperate layer for Lip syncing and Matching The face movements with the jaw. You actually don't do as much fbf as I thought, That's why at first I was surprised that you were in shock about the keyframing.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 2:32 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

im a TWEENING guy all the way.....i like killing two birds with one stone, indulging my laziness and saving time.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 2:47 AM TomFulp says:

Tweeners are weeners!

Aug. 1, 2007 | 3:19 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

Aug. 1, 2007 | 2:53 AM AlkaSeltzer says:

Aug. 1, 2007 | 3:17 AM Afro-Ninja says:

Luksy is adorably foreign. I'm man enough to admit it.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 5:25 AM Catoblepas says:

Tweening is like biting spaghetti with your teeth.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 9:06 AM MindChamber says:

ya Krinkels is like some desiel Santa Claus..

his frame by frame work is crazy, but hey this is how stop motion is done.

I liked 300 Queers, I thought it was funny.
You made the dick heads really pink, what the hell.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 3:46 PM Lalo says:

Aug. 1, 2007 | 5:13 PM Tomorrows-Nobody says:

Were you at Hooters with all of us and the Cyanide and Happiness guys?

Aug. 1, 2007 | 5:20 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i think so but i took off after 15 minutes

Aug. 1, 2007 | 8:38 PM DeRosa says:

Not to sound amateur or anything, but the whole FBF thing of Madness is really tiring, but the outcome is so rewarding.

Much better than the old-fashioned tweens, in my opinion.

Aug. 1, 2007 | 9:13 PM LilDwarf says:

When are the art contest winners gonna be announced?

Aug. 1, 2007 | 9:52 PM PlatinumX9 says:

Glad your back. So describe Krinkels personality. please =D?

Aug. 2, 2007 | 12:38 AM KingDavid says:

it's funny to hear madness is keyframes, because bunny kill is aswell!

Aug. 2, 2007 | 5:13 PM Leigh says:

I gotta say, almost all of the 'tweeners' I've come in contact with have definitely been weeners. I mean draw your own conclusions here but I'm pretty sure that makes you a weener. But I guess it's okay if you can live with that... I mean, I guess...

Aug. 2, 2007 | 9:30 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

ouch.

Aug. 3, 2007 | 6:44 PM Krinkels says:

Try FbF for one week, just ONE week. You'll start sweating Gin, it's weird.

Aug. 3, 2007 | 9:44 PM Doom-Fan says:

Too bad Luis didn't upload any videos with you in 'em.

I wanted to see what you looked like :(

Aug. 13, 2007 | 6:08 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

dont be gay

Aug. 5, 2007 | 4:46 AM TheCriminalDuder says:

Krinkels FBF animates? That's a shock for me too.
I started out Tweening but later moved on to FBF. I think it's best to use both though. That way you get the best with both worlds.
Your works still great even without FBF though so don't worry.
