Seems a lifetime ago, when we made our first acquaintances. You can't help but to reach out to a fellow who creates a narrative, a magnum opus, for all to see. Blessed are the writer-creators. I knew his real name, some time ago, when I sent him a few bucks via Paypal for his good works. Life is full of transitions, burdens, strife... and he did illustrate and animate those concepts extremely well. I got in trouble recently for calling his work "anal" (retentive) lol; couldn't help but to compare his work to Dr Seuess and Norman Rockwell (the devil is in the details).


Love can ascend your reborn soul into an immortal plane, it can also damn you to the abyss (the best intentions can lead you to hell, as love can be the most dangerous emotion).


My impression of Johnathan Wrathbourne, glimpsed mostly through NG Chat, has been one of love, honor, duty - the same qualities he exhibited with his posted works here on Newgrounds.


Your presence has been a Joy to the World, and I honor it. May your loved ones prosper, be joyful and persevere in this mortal realm we call Life. We shall never forget you, honored seeker.

Response to: Wiesi, 1977-2023 Posted November 25th, 2023 in NG News

Can count on one hand how many times we addressed each other personally, either on his userpage or through reviews.

(Did we talk to each other on Twtich?)


I would have liked to have known him better. His contributions to Newgrounds and the world around him were substantial, and I will never forget him. I do hope he passed away knowing many people would miss his countenance, love, good humor, unique personality and perseverance with all things creative... rest well, good sir.

Response to: what are your favorite types of shooters? Posted June 26th, 2023 in Video Games

Ah shit, thought you meant "A type of spirit with high alcohol content, typically 70+ proof (35%+ alcohol by volume), which is drank in "shots", typically 1-1.5 ounces."


1st and/or 3rd person, kinda liked the Mass Effect trilogies.... Once I got over the controls, Redneck Rampage was fun, had a nice drunk/fat health-balance thingy. Hard to pin down a few of the best ones, been gaming for over 40 years

Howard Stern (radio personality) in the mid-late 1990s.... bottom 5 top of his odd interwebs picks/notables. Likely heard it via radio-to-VHS pre-recording, as I worked 2nd/3rd shift


And as usual, didn't make an account here until.... later, after I trusted Tom not to sell my email account to some poopyheads

Any gamer of any age would likely take an interest in old games. Doing more with less (H/W, code, graphics) does have a certain appeal and ingenuity... from text-based games to simple sprites, much can be done through compelling mechanics


Same can be said of cars, music, fashion... it (life) is a salad bar - take what you want, and leave the rest behind

Dude it's R* - not gonna always make sense, or even work right. But I've been playing GTA for as many years as I been on Newgrounds, and both are fuck-ups


So yea, Plan C gives you the best point going forward. Either way, if you wanna go for 100%, shouldn't matter.


I've been playing GTA:O on PC for quite some time, got rando/bot-banned once (Zendesk 3rd party algo fuckup). Still recommend the online version gtav, despite the wretched modders

Response to: Looking for VA directing advice Posted March 24th, 2023 in Voice Acting

I'm glad the best advice surfaced first.


In the end, it all depends on the character-bio for each voice actor - age, race, gender do play a part, it's motivation and direction that matter. Motivation can be directed, if it's there lol


Best of luck, may your dreams/production be realized

Response to: Tortoise shell, or Calico? Posted March 10th, 2023 in General

All cat breeds have their own version of cat scratch fever (human programming and genetic smell differentiation within their 'prides')


Torts can have very resilient and pervasive DNA/breed bleeds), also different thicknesses of fur striations.

I mention this, due to how prejudiced these furballs can be towards each other in large groups


Calicos... IDK only had a few over the farm years, they seem decent.


Oddly, Tuxedo cats seem the best pets... and bred w/ more viscous breeds (Maine coon, exotics), the best predators.

@tomfulp ever thought of merging both forums
I think that would have been a really messy project so it was never considered. It would have been nice if could have at least converted the old threads to static html pages to archive, I think the old system was ultimately removed due to being a security risk. We don't have any trace of it left so the Wayback Machine is the first time I've seen it in a long time. Looks like a lot of the posts are missing there, though.


Tom, be a good boy, go over to your parents house, and give it a top to bottom cleaning. And IF you should find any PC or Apple HDDs or floppy discs, plz do put them aside.... every president has a 'library' or central archive of ones doings, eh?

They were like a funnier, better animated, edgier Captain Planet who I also loved. I had most of the episodes recorded on VHS, action figures of most of them and collected every comic and most of the trading card set. I met Lloyd Kaufman as an adult and he's very, very nice and fun. Had him sign my dvd of Troma's War and my special edition of the masterpiece that is Poultrygeist.

I had Lloyd look at my town's VHS copy of Toxic Avenger (Tom very graciously introduced me). He said he didn't have that particular copy, as it was the very first VHS run. Brilliant quality, I even rumpled the tape on the smexy bit(s), still np. Anyway he signed it... met his wife, also sharp and endearing.

Goddamn did I love my xenomorph figure, too. You'd squeeze the back of it's head and it's retractable mouth thing comes out.

Thought that was cool AF, seeing the commercials... my Ma loved the OG Alien, dunno if she caught Aliens.

What about that weird era in the 90s when every Jim Carrey movie was a cartoon series? There were 3 running simultaneously I think. Ace Ventura, the Mask, and I think Dumb and Dumber got a cartoon too.

Could be said of previous decades, which I decline to list. For me, got a kick out of Thundaar the Barbarian (guessing based on Conan, that twisted Texan's treatises :3... but we in the old days were conditioned to face an uncertain future (which is oddly becoming true)
