Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hey, maybe I'm the only one, but I felt a little bad about slaughtering hundreds of SLIGHTLY crazy artists, musicians, scientists..some of the brightest, most creative people who ever lived. I mean so what if they had glowing hooks for hands and disfigured faces right out of an episode of the twilight zone.

Here I am, this practical nobody throwing DEAD CATS at them WITH MY MIND. AND KILLING THEM WITH SAID CATS. WHAT.

I don't even know why they all had stoves and refrigerators in their apartments. If using their plasmids was so much god damn fun, why didn't they just cook meals with em.

Also, I got a little tired of eating granola bars and washing em down with whiskey, only then to be a drunken, tired errand boy for the resident psychos. (who could shoot hornets and tornados from his hands. WHAT.

I have so many questions about they world these people made for themselves. In the end none of it makes any fucking sense whatsoever, but I know over-analyzing would ruin the mystique of it.

I love Bioshock, and its inability to make any sense.

bioshock is fun, but WAY to short :[

i obcessively searched every room, and i STILL missed some of the recordings - i didnt get a certain achievement for that so it was irritating.

i dont care about the actual achievement, but i wanted to listen to every one of those and DONT KNOW HOW MISSED ONE. ARG.

4th post... aiming for first. And it looks pretty cool.

I wish I could draw/animate as well as you. =(

Aug. 27, 2007 | 11:01 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i just hope i was clear i didnt draw that, if that's what you're referring to

These guys ... are somthing else. Curious ... have you ever played System Shock or (more likely) it's sequel System Shock 2? Nothing, and I mean nothing compares to the relationship that develops between the player and SHODAN over the course of those games. I haven't had the pleasure of touching BIOSHOCK yet, but it's got one hell of a pedigree.

No art, just finish Tankmen

Aug. 27, 2007 | 11:48 PM OverDoseD764 says:

to the person above:JU is a staff ARTIST he supposed to draw not just do the tankmen thing.

to the actual post: i want to play bioshock so bad it sucks that u missed one of the recordings out of all of em.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 6:31 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

i dont blame him...ive put off this epsode for almost a year and a half now :(

Aug. 28, 2007 | 1:19 AM Jercurpac says:

My only question is how can you freeze a spider splicer while she's doing a back flip with out her frozen body tumbling to the ground? Why would it stay suspended in mid-air? What kind of god would allow physics like that?

Awesome, gorgeous game though.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 6:30 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

i froze plenty midair

but hey atleast they make great photographs

Aug. 28, 2007 | 1:27 AM HandInACan says:

yeah.. I don't think some of these people understand that you didn't draw this..

Aug. 28, 2007 | 6:32 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

maybe if i wrote it in caps

Aug. 28, 2007 | 8:09 AM snake23 says:

I wish I could afford Bioshock :(

Aug. 28, 2007 | 10:53 AM PlatinumX9 says:

Bioshock is fun. But like, its so hard to understand, know what i mean?

Anyway are you still working on tankmen. I know what its like putting of a flash. Its like, you want to finish it, but at the same time you dont wanna put the work into it.
But with an animator like you, you should get it done in notime.

P.S. how much fbf do you do in Tankmen?

Aug. 28, 2007 | 12:21 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

i tween mostly, but for this one i have some frame by frame as well.

and yeah. bioshock is alittle vague at times...you really gotta listen to all the recordings closely to get it all.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 2:51 PM LordOfKetchup says:

tl;dr

Aug. 28, 2007 | 4:35 PM DepressedStone says:

I recently purchased the PC version of Bioshock, and up until yesterday I actually started playing it. It's quite good fun, and the ravaged art deco look mindfucks my brain. It's such a shame that Hollywood will most likely ruin it all with some sort of movie.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 5:27 PM RaNcIdPsYcHoJoSh says:

You have to kill all those scientist dudes because some of them are child murderers and man that shit just isn't cool.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 7:01 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

bah. they were just kids...not really worth anything.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 5:47 PM stereokinetic says:

Played the LIVE demo, but I wasn't all that impressed. Still looked really good, though. So from what I've heard about it , it warrants a 5 day blockbuster rental at the very least. Here's to me being proven wrong.

On an unrelated note: I was playing Rainbow Six: Las Vegas and saw someone using the gamertag "JOHNNYUTAH42", or something similar (I can't recall the exact numbers"
Any chance that was you?

Aug. 28, 2007 | 7:03 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

that wasnt me.

anyways, besides the amazing art direction im not gonna praise the game like most people. you basically spend the entire game collecting food, running errands to collect items for various characters, and fighting he same 3 enemies over and over and over. sure there's creative weapons, but you dont even need em. some would call that good game design, but i wouldnt.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 6:56 PM Shaste says:

I'm not sure about you, but I started tripping balls when that thing happened with the golf club.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 7:39 PM Qweety says:

I loved that game until you become a Big Daddy. Not because I don't like Big Daddies but I was really looking forward to using one of those awesome drills.

Aug. 28, 2007 | 11:01 PM nightfalljem says:

Lol just wanted to say the "Queer" movies you made are pretty damn funny.

Aug. 29, 2007 | 3:57 AM MusicIsBliss says:

Damn, My friend made me play the demo at his house, and it was so fun, I actually spent more time attacking garbage cans with my powers, cause the distance they fly is so awesome. But ya, some of that game didnt make any sense at all, but whatever, perhaps they will come out with a semi-decent sequel that doesnt feel like you are walking down one single tunnel, with doors all over that dont work.

Aug. 29, 2007 | 12:20 PM Superperpel says:

That's just great.

Aug. 29, 2007 | 1:16 PM piratey says:

I love you and want to make sweet homosexual love to you

Aug. 29, 2007 | 2:51 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

im sorry that's not how i roll

That artwork is badass

Aug. 29, 2007 | 10:58 PM NGSolidier12 says:

I got it today, very upset for a few reason, I wasted 140 bullets on the first Big Daddy, lol when my friend was like, It's called a Big daddy! I Thought it was going to rape me. Cause that little demented girl with him would've.

Aug. 31, 2007 | 1:49 AM UberBarista says:

Rosies and Big Daddies.

Hot damn. I thought they'd tough from what I have heard, but no, they go down quick and easy. Right now I'm at Arcadia, right after Ryan spray's the trees but I must say, they're the only enemies worth killing. Buku bucks out of em, and they do go down fast regardless of how fast and tough they are. You just have to ...

Sep. 3, 2007 | 7:50 PM Murphinator says:

It still seems like a fun game, though. Shadowrun, however, is fun at first, but then it gets boring.

Sep. 11, 2007 | 3:11 PM GUTHRIE says:

Thanks a lot for the link. I love the art in this game.
