2017 was an interesting year for all of us. Here in the Barracks, we did some much-needed housecleaning; inactive members were dropped off the active duty roster, and many of those active were promoted into Officer positions. Every month we see that all members have some activity, each contributing to the greater good that is Newgrounds. Our proud tradition of leading by example and being the first line of defense against those who flaunt the rules, break laws and are otherwise unwanted continues to set high standards, and it all makes me very proud and very honored to be part of it all.
I'm looking forward to the upcoming redesign. Should streamline our experience in the Portal a bit more. I also wonder if WEBM submissions and Unity will become more popular.
On the low, I'm also looking at starting 3D modeling with Blender and possibly playing around with Unreal 4 Engine. Who knows if I may or may not make a couple shorts. I've been spending most of my time on music and projects.
Overall, 2017 did bring out the best in us, and I hope that 2018 is even better still. You're all great people, and it is a privilege to be part of the EGB family. *Salutes*
Always. *Salute*

Not bad!

You could ask a forum mod to delete your post. Usually, it's not necessary.

I go through weird stages where I think I can bite off a whole bunch of things all at once. I was trying to make a game, do everything possible that I could on newgrounds, write, read, work full time, work part time on top of it, and be a full time dad/partner.
That was my high, I went through a low not too long ago. Now I'm mellowed out again. (No it doesn't have anything to do with pot being legal for all use in my state now!) I did try some edibles last night and had about 4 hours of no back pain so that was nice, but hated the taste.
Whenever I'm mellowed out I'm more into going to work, coming home and being dad/spouse. Watching movies with the family, etc... I'm going to try and ride this stage of my up and down emotions for awhile. I usually get a good year out of it. If you see me really active on newgrounds again that's probably not a good thing in all reality. :P
Two Eddsworld thefts by the same guy.

I feel ya, brother. I do the same thing all the time and then get really bad social anxiety about it and crash.

So you go through manic depression too? Plus old people pains? Jeez. Also, I know what you mean about edibles. They're not legal here, but let's just say they're an acquired taste, and my digestive system was not happy.

I get ya. Lately, I've been going out with friends more often, trying to un-depresso-need-less-espresso. If I push too hard, I'll burn out and drop off the face of the earth. Same thing happened in 2011-2013 when I totally disappeared from NG, and prior to that my activity was rather sporadic. I was spending more time with journalism, band, and RL in general to recoup. 2014, I got super depressed, started making music again, and eventually got back active on NG. Now NG is more or less a part of my social life and I'm teetering between mania and super-depresso-need-an-espresso every couple days. The only good thing is I'm learning how to be busy and happy at the same time, which is a plus, and my academic interests have returned, so I have a retreat.

This is clips from the Simpsons. He is not the author.
Just a bunch of Simpsons clips. Off all the Simpsons compilations one could come up with this is weirdly mean spirited too, lol.
An anime short with Transformers music over it:

This is a music video that was stolen.

It isn't something we want, and could lead to something malicious, so it is no more.

Removed. Thanks for the report.
It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.
We just had two pretty obviously stolen submissions in the portal and I thought it would be a good opportunity to check in with everyone. How's the new year been treating you all? I got married and that was just an all around great time and a perfect start to the year. I'm not in a hurry to do it again soon, though. It was a ton of work.
Here are the links to those stolen submissions:

I have achieved squat fuck all so far this year. My sleep cycle still hasn't recovered from christmas break.

I popped in to report this, such a bizarre choice of video to steal and reupload. Glad he did though bc the original is actually kinda great & the song featured is awesome.

Any chance we could get GoAnimate banned? I haven't seen a submission made with it yet that wasn't utterly worthless garbage, and there's virtually no talent or skill involved (if the uploader had either they'd be using different software). It's like barely a few steps above using stock drum loops as audio submissions.
Yeah I can just vote 0, in fact I vote 0 reflexively when I see that art style, but they almost always pass judgement and I'm convinced it's because voters aren't familiar with the software. They see the bland-but-passable characters with full backgrounds and clean lines and don't realize how little effort is behind it. They must mistakenly think it's hand drawn.
For some reason the type of people who use it are also dead set on re-creating the exact same premise in every video, it's so utterly vapid and I don't know how the creators can stay interested let alone the viewers. It's bizarre. Thankfully it's mostly contained to youtube without much of it spilling over to here, but it feels wack letting them by here at all.
Alright rant over.

True, mostly. However, there is one guy that actually does what is supposed to be done with it, @calmulligan. He actually creates some great stuff with GoAnimate. He used some real voices and people, being used to the robo-voices, weren't sure how to react. Unfortunately, he hasn't been around much lately. Feel free to check them out.

Understandable.

Scene creators seem to be the exception to the rule, as Nintendo doesn't seem to argue about them. Now, in real games, where you have characters and bosses and you do stuff, those are the ones that they contact us about. I'll check, but I think these are ok.
Hi Nim! :)

Interesting, but I guess that makes some sense. I figured they were against the use of their sprites in all types of games.
Other than that, here's a submission with music on a still background:
Also, hello Exedor. Long time, no see. :)
