Wow! Has it been 20 years since I joined this amazing community?

I remember stumbling across Newgrounds as I was trying to learn Flash for a website I was creating.

Titles like Blundercats, Street Life, Dragonball Wassup, and Cooties Bar ruled the Portal, an automated showcase for amateur-created content years before YouTube, Vine, or (checks notes) TikTok.

So much has happened in this world in the past two decades, and Newgrounds has been right there with us. I am honored and grateful to be considered part of its early history.

I look forward to spending the next 20 with my old friend Tom and the wonderful contributors of NG. Keep creating and keep submitting!

tldr: Newgrounds = yay. And uh, go out and vote.

Whoa. 15 years today I made a silly little Star Wars parody called Lo Mein.

I was pretty hated on NG at the time for introducing nude celebrity dress up dolls into the culture. Britney Dress Up was consistently at the top of the Portal ranks, much to the dismay of 'real' animators (and myself.) So I set out to try my hand at a movie.

What resulted was this flash that was part Seinfeld, part Space Balls and all about the gay. It's still evident that I had no idea what I was doing but Tom really liked it and got other people to notice. I still appreciate him pimping it the way he did.

A sequel followed that was kinda rushed but did OK as well.

THEN, 10 years ago, a third installment was to be released. Unfortunately, the files were lost in a hard drive crash and they weren't backed up anywhere. I didn't have the energy to go back from scratch and just let it die.

HOWEVER, one scene survived... in an old email. And it features TOM FULP as Yoda. Here's what almost was.

e: YT link in case you're on a mobile.

"Stop Calling Me Buttmaster!"

This rocks

I'm top bidder, son. Whatcha gonna draw me?

Do I get a cake or a basket of porn or something?

The fact that Madness Day gets a cool banner and all and Clock Day didn't... is bogus.

Nothing too new in my world. Just thought I'd stop by NG and see what's up.

I am trying to find a couple of voice actors to finish up a project. PM me if you're interested.

Currently on board for the project with voices:

Tom Fulp (yes THE Tom Fulp)- done
Vinstigator - done
Fatkidwitajetpak - done
Stamper - committed
Mindchamber - ???

Now c'mon... that's an awesome line-up! Get on board!!

And it is PIMP. The 3D glasses make me feel ridiculous though.

Oh wait.. artist news goes here?

Megaplex 30 will be released at the end of this year on the 10 year anniversary of Lo Mein (unless Vinstigator convinces me to drop it earlier.) It is finished, but I may go back and add some scenes if I get inspired (or if Mindchamber ever does the lines I asked him for 3 times!)

In the meanwhile, I may work on some more stuff with my little brother Joey (aka BizzaroTomFulp) on a couple more things. He's got a neat idea for a Mario parody.

So how about them Blackhawks?

Seems that a bunch of kids was raising some hell over at Burlington Cranton's property a few days back.

Tore up the fields, turned over a tractor and everything.

My New Year's resolution is to complete the forever delayed Megaplex 30 toon (featuring voices by Tom Fulp, Nick Sumbles, Vinstigator, Tough Cookies, & more) that has been in technical difficulty hell for months.

Anyone else have any resolutions?
