I just had sex with a 90 year old dead body after claiming to be a pedophilistic necrophelist and came on a lamp next to the guy I was chatting with's head.
It was the hottest experience of my life.

This eerily reminds me of the Parachat -- Filled with pedos thread.

sory to not participate in the other stuff in the thread, but why do so little animators actually want to participate in anything but collabs? I constantly try to get them to do more, like my Animation Warzone! thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1044 518 and my Animation Tests Thread: http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1045 510

but noone seems to care about them. These threads work well in other communities, but Newgrounds users seem to resist threads such as these. What is your guy's opinions on the subject? (these animators' reluctance to participate in group threads, unless they guarauntee a position in a submission, like a collab or a game artist request)

Internet saves the day.... again.

UK teenager 'saved by Facebook'

A British teenager who took a drugs overdose has been saved after the American girl he was chatting to online raised the alarm.

The 16-year-old boy from Oxfordshire had sent her a message suggesting he intended to commit suicide.

Although she did not know where he lived, calls via the White House and the British Embassy enabled Abingdon police to save the boy's life.

DUDE WTF, ARE UK TEENS THAT INCAPABLE OF LIVING A NORMAL LIFE WITHOUT BEING BABYSAT BY THE INTERNET? what is this the xx time the internet saves them.

I find it weird that they had to jump through all the hoops and go through the white house and british embassy... to stop a suicide, and then go and make international news about it. How do you think that kid feels now? Not only does he fail at killing himself, but now everyone in the world knows it. I'm not saying I sympathize with the kid or anything, as suicide is never the answer, but I'm just saying I think these types of resources should be put into stopping murder or rape or child predator crimes instead. Seems like a government publicity stunt to me, showing off how fast they can interact to save a life. Well, good, you saved a life, now come on and try to prevent stuff like the recent N.Y. shooting if you have all these fancy resources.

haha, even people who do flash constantly dont care about group projects. :(

It's mostly the people who are fairly new to flash who participate in collaborations. Not always, there are exceptions, but for the most part. People who are better with flash or more experienced generally lean towards the solo project or coder/animator aspect of flash while the less experienced prefer working with people as practice so they can make an animation but the animation doesn't have to be a full length animation.

Re: TOne Matrix

I set up a crappy loop up and left it running in the background. Nice and soothing :D

Its contraversial... ive come to the forum a few times trying to participate in someone elses collab.... but its the same shit... just a different song. I wish people were doing more interesting things, not just a mash of different unrelated parts. Thats boring. Theres people out there who want to participate in collabs theres just not anything innovative going on. Anyone can just pick a song and animate random things to it..

At 4/5/09 05:57 PM, Techno wrote: Guys, Luis just gave me the best idea...how about a Mario collab!

Just messing, but seriously i wish something original would come out, pixel has been done, music is getting old, the pass the flash things are still kinda cool, and sprites are getting boring.

I dunno if this would work, but it'd definately be original, although sorta like pass the flash. We get one person to animate a person or two doing something along with a background object. Then they send it to the next person who does the same thing and it's like 5-6 people just adding different things to the scene, while another group does the same then there would be something that would help the scene switch like a guy walking into the next frame or something. Or it could just be a loop. I dunno. I just think it'd kind of look cool, cause there could be two different art styles chatting or interacting in some way.

Meh, reg collabs have been organised at least three times before and failed...

One thing I was thinking of as a small collab idea (well, it just popped into my head a couple of seconds ago), is a fight between two characters, and one animator gets each one. So one animator does a move for his guy, then the other animates a response, and then it goes back, and so on...

Not sure how you could extend that past two or three collaborators, though.

Shouldn't it be more common with collabs that kind of follows a story? Or any at all, I can't remember any from the top of my head.

Like, you just have story that either already exists or written by the collab participants, then everybody animates a chunk of the text (while following some guidelines that is common for all parts so that the transitions between the different parts go smoothly).

Another idea might be to make a game consisting of a few smaller games, with cut scenes and some kind of plot. This could involve all kinds of people on here: writers, voice artists, animators, and programmers..

I had like this idea for a collab where you saw this man or woman after an accident, and he/she was like slowly dying or something and then there would be flashbacks of all sort of events from that persons life and every animator would do his/her own flashback in his own style. I would then animate a couple of shots that would take place in the current time (of people giving first aid and stuff). In my head it turned out great, but in the end no one would probably join as it's way too complicated, too dramatic, doesn't appeal to a shitload of people and in the end it would just be another music synced collab... Psh, if I made a post every time I had a 'brilliant' idea the Reg Lounge would be twice as long...

lmao. i agree with paranoia... ugh the thought of a reg based collab makes my brain hurt.

ive never failed so hard.

Seems like it's a shame that it's mostly relatively inexperienced users that make collabs here. Guess that collabs that requires more commitment than what's needed to do some random short clip to music have a too small chance to go all the way.

Except we're not nazis. The BA requirement isn't really about quality, it's about the collab starter having enough experience to know how to copy paste parts together. 4.00 might yield better collabs, but that would be a pretty harsh standard.

All you have to do is make some video game parodies involving Mario doing wacky things.

hurr hurr hurr

I say, someone should make a flash relay, where each person makes a scene with someone catching a baton, then going thought a obstacle course of there making, then at the end throwing the baton off screen... Would be interesting to see what course's people would end up creating

Stop suggesting collabs and go make a thread if you think it'll be a good idea, this is like the 20th time this thread degraded into "lets do a reg collab!"

I think you forfeit your rights to say anyone is degrading the reg lounge once you start posting conversations with strangers about hot dogs, ketchup, and sexual innuendo.

I have an idea about designing a quick game that only takes about 10 minutes or less to master. The collab aspect comes in the form of multiple artists do complete sets of graphics for said game. at the start of the game, the player chooses which artist's version he'd like to play with. just a thought...

I think that'd be the best idea. Someone should whip up an engine similar to portal defenders, then we all make a set of sprites for it. It would obviously be a lot of work for the main coder/artist, but i think it's the only thing that would work :P.

If you were really good, you could even build a template so people could make custom special attacks for their player, eg paranoia makes people sit down and shiver, delta can shoot code, jtmb02 can shoot clouds, and luis can (as always) use his lollipop.

Anyway, just an idea.

I'm in the process of acquiring CS3 now, so i can get my feet wet in AS3. Once i learn the ins and outs of it, I'll come back to this idea and see what i can whip up. I always envisioned the game engine would be a top down shooter like galaga, but now that you mention it i realize the concept could applied to any game engine. Imagine AH redone with graphics by your favorite artist?

if someone else does this, i want credit :P

Actually, it probably would just mean that anyone lower than the standard (i.e. most collab starters) would need to be approved by mods on an individual basis. Still, most flash mods are too nice to refuse approval unless something's definately definately going to fail :p

Hey, Glaiel's failed at organising reg collabs along with the best of them :( Well, so long as my memory serves me anyway.
