I just don't know what else to say, I lost my inspirtion and I'm pretty much bored with flash now. it wasn't as fun as before. Just thought I give you guys one last message before I leave newgrounds for good. click here to read it.

For those who weren't aware of this, My 4 swords Links made a little cameo a few years back in A mortal Kombat flash that has been animated and recently reposted by a personal friend of mine, Rachel Yates.

Originally,due to a bug in the animation (she's still a bit new to flash ) not many people got to see the actual ending since the screen froze before the flash even got to it. Now, finally , the bug has been fixed
and viewers can see the flash how it was originally supposed to be. The flash is quie random though, just a little warning.

Keep in mind that this flash was originally posted in 2006, before SpikeDaPenguin left the series to pursue his own personal goals. It'll be his decision to return as Red Link though...
Plus, it was made before episode 3, so this included a broken magic mirror gag.

I posted a picture below as proof. Enjoy.

It took 6 months, longer than expected, but it's finally here! Sprite TV 2. My first collab.
Just to let you guys know, I collaborated in 2 animations and voiced a special scene at the end of the flash for Osuka who took over for Glassbomb a while back.

Mine are as follows:
1st. NBA Jam
2nd. Captain falcon in SSB:Brawl
3rd. A little MGS parody at the end where I voiced both characters (using audacity)

So vote and enjoy!

As for 4 swords, I just started animating the first of a 3 episode project. There will be a lot of random things to expect here, like emo jokes, internet memes, Naruto Bashing (Believe it!) and much more.

When will it be out? I can't say, seriously...
It takes a lot of time to put all this stuff together. So be patient, I already explained this before.

Hi again. Hope everyone enjoyed Christmas. Even though the new year is just a few days away, I felt like wishing the NG community a happy new year.

I know it hasn't been a very productive year for me when it comes to flash. This year I was busy studying, had gone through a bit of writer's block and now my PC broke down when I was attempting to repair it (apparently I need to replace my PC's motherboard too). The only computer I'm using right now is my dad's laptop and this means that I might have to start from scratch, that is, if my dad doesn't mind me installing Flash in his computer. My Goku vs. Superman project has now been put on hold indefinitely until I see if i get My PC running again.

As for future Four Swords Misadventures, the script is still in progress, and it's gonna be longer this time since I'll be including story arcs. Animating it, however, will be a problem because I had a huge collection of sprites, sfx and music in my old computer and now I need to search for that stuff all over again. I know sites that have a good collection of sprites and music, yet there will be some sprites and sfx that are going to be hard to find. Still, I will find a way to get the next part ready for you guys, just bare with me here.

Again, Happy New Year everyone and let's hope for the best!

OK, this might seem like a random rant, but it seems very common these days.

I'm noticing that most users here (as well as in youtube and other sites) are pretending to be older when they're really not.

for example: a new user asks me if he or she can be a part of a flash project. Most of the time when this happens, I check their user pages just to see who they are, what they've made, what are their favorite flashes, and finally they say that they're over 18. However, I later find a random quote of the same user saying: "actually I'm 11, LOL".
This annoys me sometimes...

I understand that the internet is full of underage noobs these days and that boys will be boys, but I prefer to meet honest people (preferably 16 or older) who at least know something about flash or audio programs.

When I talked about this topic on youtube (in a bulletin), the 2 main answers here were:

1. I did it to watch/ upload adult videos.
2. I did it to keep away from pedophiles/ stalkers/ bullies.

in conclusion I realized that the whole thing is a double edged sword:
If you tell the truth--you gain friends, yet possibly get stalked/bullied by unknown users.
If you fake your age--you lose bullies/stalkers, yet lose somebody's trust by looking more like a noob.

Normally I encourage most of you guys to be honest and all, even though it's hard to do that when danger lurks almost everywhere these days.

But when it comes to Newgrounds, is it really necessary to pretend to be older? If you don't trust NG, you shouldn't be here in the first place...but that's just me.

I'm having some computer problems at the moment,
what happened was this, yesterday I turned on my pc (I have a HP from 2002) and I kept hearing this weird whirring noise. it was coming from a cooling fan inside the PC. so i decided to check it out and see what the problem was. while i was testing the fan,2 of the blades accidentally broke off. I tried to see if the computer would still function,but when I turned it on the only thing that activates is the fan itself. not even the screen would turn on.

In other words, due to my inexperience with the inside of a computer, I 'm forced to put my flash projects on hold for now until I get my PC repaired. It's the first time this happens to me and I hope I don't lose any important things stored in it, mainly my current flash project: Goku vs. Superman.

I feel sorry that I let something like this happen to me. but hopefully, this problem will get solved sooner or later. Good thing I haven't started animating FSM 5 yet (I'm developing the script whenever i get the chance).

Anybody ever see Sprite TV before? Well, a few weeks ago I received an invitation from Glassbomb to form part of the sequel, Sprite TV 2, which I accepted since I wanted to try something new for a change.

At first I wasn't very fond of collabs, but since this is NG, and this site is such a large community, I decided to lend a hand for once. Another reason I accepted this was because I had a lot of sprite ideas that I want to put to good use, yet never had the chance to develop them since I focused mostly on LoZ and MK flashes.

So far I've only made 3 short gags, which are all on my Freewebs site, but only one was accepted to be part of the project. Hopefully I'll come up with more later on.

If you want to participate in Sprite TV 2 (as an animator or voice actor) visit the forum page here.
We're mainly looking for experienced flash authors, so I think it's best if you ask TITROTU or Glassbomb for suggestions.

For those who haven't read my posts on freewebs or myspace, I would like to inform that I'm currently working on this project: Goku Vs. Superman

What is it you ask? it's a flash about a "what if" fight with no actual plot (think "Smash Bros." people). East Vs. West, U.S.A. vs. Japan, The Man of Steel vs. The Super Saiyan, An epic battle of epic proportions.
I've been wanting to work on it for quite a while now, before I even developed my flash skills.

4 things actually helped inspire me to make this project:

1)The comparison between both characters (obviously Goku's origin was a tribute to Supes).
2)The numerous forum debates outside newgrounds about this very topic.
3)This really bad ass image of both characters fighting each other. Taken from Wizard Magazine issue #133.
4) The song "Man Made God" by In Flames

To me this is not just another sprite fight, my vision here is to create an AMV style fight based on the song I chose for the flash. "Man made god" is a very complex melodic death metal track which is a complete adrenaline rush and the fights will focus on the mood of certain parts of the song. You need to listen to this song to get an idea of how intense the fight will be.

I'm making this from a logical and neutral POV. I favor both characters equally and I want to avoid the mistake I made with my "SFVs. DBZ Budokai" Trilogy.
You will get to see it when the time is right.

Update 9/18/2007: The flash is now 80% complete and a short demo of the flash is available on youtube.

OK, Before another random noob starts asking me "When is episode (insert number here) coming out?" I would like to get a few things out of my chest:

1. I don't give out a due date because I CAN'T GUARANTEE ONE WHILE MAKING IT!! Even if I do tell you guys a date, the flash will possibly get delayed due to life related circumstances (It happened with part 4). When i say this I refer to university exams, family stuff and other things that get in the way.

2. The voice actors that I hire for the series aren't available 24/7, THEY HAVE LIVES TOO!

3. Another reason why I usually take this long is because I do my best in developing an entertaining script, AND IT'S NOT EASY! Before animating an episode, I normally write a script which is around 4 to 6 pages long (and pick the best gags possible in the process) which is enough for a 10 to 12 minute flash.

4. Even though Flash is a fun hobby and all, I'm not making money out of it anyway. Furthermore, I'm unemployed at the moment I need cash like anyone else would these days.

5. I have 5 other family members at home who also use the same PC for their own purposes(Work, MSN, etc.), so I CAN'T work on flash every day.

6.When I do work on flash, I tend to develop other Ideas and I don't want to focus on FSM all the time.

I can give you a few more reasons, but this pretty much sums everything up about why the fuck I take so long with each episode.

look, I appreciate the support that Four swords is getting, but I wouldn't recommend pressuring an author to make another one immediately. it's like telling Shigeru Miyamoto to make a Twilight Princess sequel A MONTH after the original was released (for example).

This is why I urge most of the desperate noobs out there in Newgrounds to have PATIENCE and watch other flashes while you wait.

Learn from my Zelda Philosophy people: the longer you wait, the better the game will get. I've just started getting ideas for the 5th episode and I don't have that many yet.. Give it time to develop!

One last thing, you can ask me questions related to the series if you want, but please don't go overboard with your questions and complaints.
Don't push me to the limit, seriously.

*sigh*....

Over the years some of my flashes have gotten a lot of attention from other flash communities besides Newgrounds. Some sites even asked me to upload my flashes in their animation pages and I appreciate that, but recently my latest flash, Four Swords Misadventures 4, has been banned from a site known asFlash Portal.

The site hasn't given me a reason for this. Their rules normally state that if their staff likes the animation, then it'ill be posted on the site. They accepted the previous 3 episodes last year and they're not accepting part 4 now after so much fan demand? Bullshit! Whatever their reason is, it's their loss...
Looks like my fans in that site aren't going to enjoy the rest of my series.

This is one good damn reason why I prefer Newgrounds much more than any other site. Here we let the Users decide what stays and what goes and that's how things should be in a TRUE flash portal. What does everyone think of this?
