Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I didn't know there was a Newgrounds Winter Flash-off..... I don't remember there being one last year.... is this the first year? Or am I just stupid? Is it both?

So uh... I'm gonna enter the contest... I am currently working on pulling an entry out of my ass amidst all of my final exams, and final projects... I figure if I average 3 hours of sleep a night, I'll be able to pull it off, and maintain at least a fraction of my sanity. I'm rooting for me.

In other news, I no longer work at an animation studio. No I didn't quit, and no I didn't get fired. America's economy has affected me, even though "the fundamentals of the economy are strong." The company usually makes animated commercials and stuff, but no one wants to pay for commercials with the shitty economy, so we are all out of work... hopefully just temporarily until someone wants us to animate something for them. Perfect timing for me to become unemployed: During Christmas break when I don't have to worry about school, and after I just shelled out over $300 on Christmas presents. Who needs a job when I can live in poverty, right?

And uh... remember that time a couple months ago when I was like, "Hey kids! Flash Dancer 2 will be out on December 16th!!! PEnis!"

... well there's a slight possibility that I completely lied about that. Originally I was going to get it done by Dec 16 to hand in for my final project in my animation class. But as time wore on it became increasingly apparent that there was no way in fucking hell I was going to finish it in time. So I shortened it, and put together a version specifically for the class.

In other words... a completed version of Flash Dancer 2 does exist. But it's not the version anyone on Newgrounds is ever going to see. The one you're all going to see is about 2 minutes longer. And I'm back to having no f-wording clue when it's going to be finished..... PEnis!

I'll probably post again next week when I finish my Christmas flash. Which means this particular post will be seen by approxiamately... ooohhh... 3 people including myself?

Yours Truly,

P.S. I guess I'll include a screenshot of Flash Dancer 2 that actually REVEALS something about what makes it so much different than FD1. Let the speculation commence....

There wasn't one last week because they were running low on cash from the Halloween contests and a bunch of Halloween related contests.

well you're half right. there have been since 1999, but as you can see, last year no cash prizes were given. there was no actual contest last year, its just a collection of christmas-themed flashes.

Dec. 16, 2008 | 5:30 AM Cyberdevil says:

Good luck with the flash, and your works, seems like the prize money would go to benevolent causes if you get them, hah, keep at it!

Thanks, man. I extend my thumb skyward to you.

Actually I cancelled the contest last year because I was tired of people acting like dipshits after the Halloween contest.

We've had the contest for several years in the past, but it feels like a weird theme to base a contest on... Like I don't want to see THAT MANY Christmas movies, which is why more and more it's emphasized as a general winter-theme. But really we should just have a winter Flash-off with a different theme every year, or something.

Whoa, didn't expect a comment from you.

Well... you're going to be pretty disappointed in my flash then.... cause it's very much about Santa..... damn... I sure find out about things when it's too late a lot....

And yeah, that would be a good idea to have a new theme every year. I promise next year, my winter submission will lack the Christmas spirit :-X
