congrats on reppin newgrounds!

you tried adding the ROOT_STOP and ROOT_PLAY code?

when i compiled the SPRITE TV II the flash crashed because of the famous 16k problem, y added that code in all the MOVIE CLIPS and that fixed the problem

Good luck with the collab dude

That's Great! Congratulations! I'm looking forward to the collab, I hope mine made it in!

Take your time on the collab, you're in a big magazine now!

JohhnyUtah AKA Jeff Bandelin? Shouldnt it be the other way around?

Lol yeah dude I was checking out the animation magazine and I saw the article about you and was like wtf lol!

Awesome, grats on that.

Also take your time on the collab, I've had that problems a thousand times. I look forward to seein' it.

cool! so, what will you do with metal gear collab?

will there be more?

That's really awesome to hear you were in Animation Magizine, that's one epic achievment. AUTOGRAPHS MAYBE?

ALSO

IN REGARDS TO MGS:
[14:15] tarienn9: you'd think Tom would've told him how to
[14:16] tarienn9: he knows actionscript
[14:16] tarienn9: all you do, is make a main swf with the title and menu and shit
[14:16] tarienn9: then when you click play, you tell it to load another swf
[14:16] tarienn9: you don't need to make one fuckin' huge swf!

Isn't he just silly.

That is awesome congrats!

"Animators from such films as Kung Fu Panda, Wall-E, Wallace and Gromit, and 300 Queers!"

Did you add a cock joke in there?

HEHEHEHE

Congratulations man.
Isn't it just an awesome feeling, to get grouped with those people?
No matter how gay that may sound.

Also, good luck on the MGSCollab.
I'm really, really looking forward to it.

WALL-E!!

Not bad!

Wall-e!

I'm a fuckin' sucker for 3D animation, so I'm probably going to see that.

Also, that's fuckin awesome to hear that you were interviewed! Also, in regards to the MG Collab, sometimes you just make me want to cry.

My previous post aside, that is very cool. I'll be looking forward to reading that.

Also, "HILARIOUS JOKE REFERENCING CARTOONS YOU'VE MADE LOL!"

Wow! Congratulations!! A lot of people in the business read that magazine, and to be in a part of an article called "Rising Stars of Animation" is a huge call out. It's like saying, "Hey Hollywood, look as these guys and let them make something huge!' Good luck man! That's great :)

NO APOLIGIES! ITS YOUR TIME TO SHINE YOU CRAZY DIAMOND.

YOUR REAL NAME ISNT JOHNNY UTAH?

Yea please scan it, not everyone lives in the USA :C

Congratz, that's quite an honor to be listed amongst those guys...is NG more well-known/respected than I realize?

Hey man instead of reading animation magazine, shouldn't you be out returning those videotapes?

That's pretty hot, man. I'll buy that fucker if I see it at the bookstore.

Know what would fix the bulky file problem? Runtime file loading. My love for NG would double if we could get that shit going.

MGS collab has been very poor in it's schedule and to be honest excuses have been going on for about a month now . Even though I have heard you are mixing the collabs up, I still think you should put the fucking dog bollocks strongest out, then with some 'good/mediocre' collab out on the two.

I am so bluddy exicited for them, I just wish I wasn't wishing! Because this seems like a fucking eternity!

Was there a specific animation that they were talking about in the article?

animation magazine? is there really such thing?

OMG, Jeff, congratulations! You're awesome. :)

I heard you're having problems with exporting the whole thing at once, even on everyone's computers at the office. Not having enough resources or something..

So I would suggest building the ultimate machine with like 16GB of RAM, some sort of SLI of two 9600's, AMD Quad Core and a copy of a XP in 64x. And then using that to export the project and then having the parts returned to the store the same night.

And I just remembered that I had a similar problem when exporting a 1600x1200 resolution high detail vector drawing and couldn't ever even get it to open after a certain point and later got Flash CS3 which allowed me to be able to open it there again and export it as well.

So if you haven't already, try CS3 with it, it's capable of opening Flash 8 files and re saving them in that format as well. I think it simply allows for the production of larger projects.

Congratulations man.

maybe the patriots don't want this collab to be released! it all makes sense now...

yeah, polishmatt.

i'm sure the pc store will be more than glad to give johnny back his 1k+ money back when he returns all the things he purchased within hours of having bought them

yeah no trouble at all.

As I told stamper I can't wait for it to be done, mainly so you and your bros can get some well deserved rest. From the sound of it, you've been on the verge of ripping out your hair putting all this together, and We all appreciate this effort, for this will be the biggest thing to hit newgrounds in years, if not ever.

Also congrats on the magazine interview! I hope I can find an issue if You can't scan us your piece.

PEACE!
Sonofgoku1 - The Original

you deserve that interview and more! MUCH MORE!!

Wow, getting compared with all those animators and directors.
You must feel special now eh?

But I think they wanted to bring at least one popular animator from each type of animation, from clay ones to browser ones.

This reminds me of the "installation periods" on MGS4

I told you how I got the Clockcrew TV collab to work for TreeClock in a PM.

Thank god, because I've been getting tired of jerking off to your elementary school pictures.

<3

Serious congrats Jeff. One day, you'll be in the big leagues with those guys that animate the dancing houses for mortgage rates.

At this point, any specific update on the collab?

pizza first
metal gear collab later

since there's two collabs now, how about double the prizes? >_>

this is like really freaking awesome to be in an animation magazine, congrats one of this days I'll see some of your stuff in cartoon network... not that I watch that channel, but I do sometimes late at night when nobody's watching... anyways!! go Johnny loved Point Break. Hey when's the sequel coming out maybe Patrick Swayze did not die after that huge 60 foot wave crashed him down into the bottom of the ocean.

Plus I have to ask I know that you guys are having monumental problems with the collab but please just tell me if I made it in!!!!! can't take it no more!!!!! I'm going a bit crazy here!!!! please man, please man!!!... no really did I made it in?

thats pretty kick ass and you deserve all the praze -if the metal gear collab dont be a suck...

I blame Adobe.

Congrats on the interview, man. That's awesome. Good luck sorting out all the problems with the collab. I guess it goes without saying I'm anxious to see it!

oh man, i have never wanted to say this, but i just can't let it pass...

" Happy to be a small part...."

COCK JO...*THUMP*

Well a little off topic, but..
so did you play mgs4 yet johnny? Was it up to the series standards, in your opinion?
In my opinion..... HELL YES!!!
It kinda sucks that the collab deadline was before mgs 4 came out... cause there is so much good material in mgs 4 to use for a flash short...

^^^^^
Just do what I do and stay off of any forum or game sites until you finish it. Or just be ever alert that a spoiler can pop up at any given moment. It's like a fucking mine field...god I hate spoilers, especially with games being more like movies nowadays.

let me tell you something, ive had more than one beer tonight.

I'm putting two and two together and saying this:
rep from mag+traffic from mag+metal gear collab=Oh shit, open up the bandwith dude, NG is getting in business! Math is fun when it brings money. Are you completely blocked out from Tankmen with all the dicks taking up the "Tankmen 3" and such titles? But for now, please finish the metal gear collab ASAP; I've tied my self to my house to keep me from coming to the NG office with a staple gun and firing it into important papers.

Hypothetically, if a NG user was to begin fooling people that there was no collab, and it was all a big joke, how mad would you be at them? Hypothetically of course.

how did this came to be? were you approuched by them to be featured in this magazine or did you sent them some of your stuff over to them? Either way I think it's awesome. No questions about Metal Gear... really!

I was wondering; hows metal gear solid 4? i want too get it, but i don't know how good it is.

So out of 15 anamators who was number one? Was it you? I hope it was.

Now all you have to do is pay for me to live with you and teach me all your magical abilities so one day I can reach the not really high regarded status of "Rising Stars of Animation and VFX: Class of 2008" yes, the really not so honorable RSAVFX:C'08 interview.

You were featured in a magazine eh. That's pretty cool. Now I know WHICH ONE NOT TO BUY!

you deserve this man, the art in tankmen is insane.

well that suks i hope its a bad thing i didnt read it

Congradulation Jeff Your Really Working Your Way To Bigger And Better Projects :D

Dude you were an animator for ILL-ustrated?! Man, the episodes of it I did see I loved. That's so crazy thinking I have watched some of your stuff in action before you were a member of NG.

Wow, small world, eh?

Congrats on being in the magazine by the way.

hey, hey...
when you finish it and get it uploaded and whatnot, you should say...
"kept you waiting, huh?" : D

I got fired for this.

That is I am making a spoof on this collab.

Congrats man, that's quite and accomplishment, your work is truly amazing.

Keep it up,
Dan

I forgot all about that VH1 ILL-ustrated, I haven't seen the whole thing of the little sopranos. Do you know where I can find it?

I didn't know you were working on Castle Crashers

Good to hear, man. Congrats on all of your success

Skittles is the best

Good luck with your project! Can not wait to see it.

It's all good, you guys just need to take your time with it. I'm sure you'll make this collab very successful. Also, i hope to see more of your own flashes, i'd like a good luagh or two, been kinda down and out lately. :)

Good luck with the collab Jeff.

Steve stole meh damn sneakers!!!1

Congrats, lol I thought your name was really JohnnyUtah tho :3

That Metal Gear collab is awesome. I'm glad you guys got it out.

grats

now where the FUCK is my potato salad...?

Just kidding earlier. Is there ANY way I can help with the collab Johnny Boy? My thumbs hurt from twiddling.

man I got marinara sauce all the way to my nuts, ít's hard keeping my dick wet 24/7. Johnny you are my idol but all this waiting got me bugging out... oh and please tell Stamper to say things that make sence I'm running out of lube and a lot of economy it's going to buying freaking sauce.

Well, I hope so. My doctor says I'm not supposed to anticipate anything else for a while, and I should get plenty of rest. Also, I have carpel tunnel syndrome in my thumbs. Is there a new estimated date for the collab, or do you want to avoid putting an exact day on it again, lest the deadline nazis come after you.

Also, foreskin.

you dont deserve it all you make is dick jokes. i love your movies :3

congratulations jonny
hey a question:
¿you no create a game of tankmen no ¨create tankmen¨one game of action and plataform?

Sweet :D

Hey, since you were featured in a magazine and I was kind enough to post here, can I win $100 dollars this month?

Why am I really the first on this?

Cock joke.

nice! Good work Johnny! ;)

hmm all i can say is that you rock at animations and you still rock . Good luck on any event ; i love your animations .

omg johhny please hurry up it wa supposed to be up a month ago,MONTH AGO please hurry

Congrats on getting it out, but I thought that you would be a co author considering you also worked on it with stamper.

Yey, its out. I lurved it.

johnny utah POINT BREAK!!!!!

The stuff you put on the front page.

I love you. No homo.

definetly awesome my friend love the collab it shows to all the doubters that Johnny ain't no punk. You should do a collab of you bitch slapping all them doubters leaving their there's "no collab conspiracy". I'll gladly help out.

Hey man I just wanted you to know you are as of now my favorite Flash Artist ever!!!! You have made me laugh so hard my nose started to bleed. ok it didnt bleed but my stomach really hurt. You should pitch your show to Adult Swim. It would be up there with the greats like metalocalypse and Aqua teen hunger force

Your biggest fan

Rith.

ps when will you do the next installment

I have one hell of a story to share with you, Jeff, and everyone else. I kept this under wraps for quite a while, but I have to say it.

During you submitting TANKMEN 2, I was on a school computer and technically the school blocks Newgrounds (or at least they used to) but the computers had a small glitch at the time to block the site and not the users profiles, strangely enough and during the time. I was reading your news under the hopefullness of TANKMEN 2 and during that time, I quickly refreshed the page to imidately notice TANKMEN 2 was in the "Latest Flash Submissions" and the score read "Under Judgment" . By that time I was extremely estatic and I knew I had to watch but I was no fool, I knew that even if I did click on it all, all what would come up is a big "Acess Denined: Site blocked" page. So I refreshed this profile page several times as in being the only thing I could do receive updates on the curent situation, luckily I gained news from Jeff making a news post about the music and just nearly 3 refrehe TANKEMN 2 rose from Under Judgement and jumped to a massive 4.54 (or something like that, I don't know the exact score at the time). And later it was time for to leave the class, sure I felt a little bad, I couldn't watch TANKMEN 2 at that precise momnet of it being submitted, but I felt better as knowing it's released.

Hows that for a story?

COCKZ

I noticed they made some mistakes on that article such as writing Tankmen as 2 words, and everytime they wrote "Newgrounds" they gave it a capital "G" in the middle, when that is incorrect due to how Newgrounds was created, only sites like MySpace and YouTube capatalize the begining of the next syllable.

And also now that they mention it, why do you call yourself "Johhny Utah" on this website? I've known your name is Jeff Bandelin, and I've known that for a long time, but seriously, why JohnnyUtah???

I've already seen Point Break, I'll watch it a second time when I get off my lazy ass.

This 'Ryan Bal' guy did a swell job on interviewing you.

Congratulations for getting on there, wish you the best.

looks like you're at the top of you game. the only place left to go now is down...on me. hee hee.

i love the tankmen show. could u make a psp version? i also want to put it on my pc cuz i dont have internet all the time. only at starbucks.....

they don't mention me anywhere in there, sounds like a respectable magazine.

Also, I watched "Meet the Spartans" tonight. They had a moderate budget AND Kevin Sorbo on their side, and yet it had nothing on 300 Queers. NOTHING.

You don't deserve this! You have a whistle status of GARBAGE!!

Nah, I'm just fuckin with you man, you're an amazing artist and you totally freakin deserve this. I just think the "Tank Men can be viewed as commentary on the absurdity of war...." is a bit of a stretch. I don't know though, that's just my opinion, maybe it is more than hilarity and cock jokes. But hey, I'm glad you pulled through the creation of the Metal Gear Collab, and it turned out great.

man u kick ass and you totally deserve 2 b in the top 3 animators of all time! good luck in the future man peace

Congrats, i love all your flashes u deserved to be put on an animation top focus if not sooner. Looking forward to your next flashes hopefully another Tankmen ep???

Congrats :) and i hope you do get a chance to make a tv show. I would love to wake up sunday morning turn on the TV and see a Tankmen like TV show on. It would make sunday that much better :3.
