Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

So I had a fantastic birthday. I had barbecue spare ribs (mmmmmmmmmm) at Sizzlers, then went and saw Iron Man (which was pretty much absolutely awesome), then grab some pizza at the Hut, then went home for some ice cream cake.

Good times. I got some books. And some junk food. And some tshirts.

Still waiting for that XBox360 you all pitched in and got me to arrive. ;)
In my dreams... Maybe if I made more animations about Sonic and Bleach... then you'd all be sending hundreds to my Pay Pal account...

Anyway, I had a movie I wanted to release on my birthday (first one entirely voiced by my newly formed "audio team"), but I didn't complete it in time. Probably going to aim for a Wednesday or Thursday release now.

What's with the scores on movies these days? It's really cheapening the stuff that deserves those scores, when EVERYTHING gets 4.18 or above.

"Brawl Taunts" is basically just some scribbled popular video game characters talking about "boobs" and "bawls" (yeah, hilarious... definitely...)
and "Irod Bad!" is just terrible...

Then there are movies like "crossroads in the sky" and "Karma" that are pretty well done, but a year ago would've only been ranked 3.90 - 4.05, and are now in what (previously) was the top fifty.
Of course, within only a few months time, the top fifty average score has risen from 4.24 to 4.32.
Weird.

Ah well, some great movies recently, so I shouldn't be complaining. Some of the newcomers on the flash scene these days are incredibly talented, and it's awesome to see some of the content being produced here.

I would like it if YouTube submissions would stop being so encouraged here. There are hundreds of video sharing sites, but as Gerkinman and I were discussing yesterday, the number of flash sites is rapidly declining. And the ones that stick around are usually all game sites.
Meh...

And happy mothers day to all you moms who come to Newgrounds, as there are so many of you around here.

Oh, and "Dark Knight" is going to be an absolutely awesome movie, which I am greatly anticipating.
