Yep, I'm 22 years old today, and have spent I believe 7 years on newgrounds.

[i]Montalbán died on January 14, 2009, at his home in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 88.[6] The cause of death has not yet been officially identified, although son-in-law Gilbert Smith did say he died of "complications from advancing age"

For those of you who don't know who he is, he's a very talented actor who has played in a variety of movies and animated films.

You may remember him from "the naked gun". But you probably remember him as Khan in star trek II the wrath of khan.

You can see a trailer for the movie here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJTi7KJ Px_E

Yes it's old, but it's a classic.

Let us all remember him.

I want to wish everybody a happy new year, and my best wishes to all the folks at newgrounds and all the flash/music authors in the world.

With out every bodies talent this website wouldn't be possible!

It's a question I ask myself very often, I see many flash submissions with just 30 reviews but no responses.

I think it's a shame that artists don't take more time to respond to their criticisms both good and bad.

I'd really like to see the relationship between author and viewer expand, I'm sure it would lead to more ideas and better submissions.

Out of 233 reviews only 69 have responses, which I guess isn't a bad ratio, but it's a shame that I'll never know if my voice is even read by these authors.

Oh well. What do you folks think?

Another one or the other post, this time I want to know which graphics card line you prefer. I used ATI back during highschool and was very happy, but once I got my first Nvidia card I noticed a pretty significant performance in my games. Mainly in a game called Soldier of Fortune II.

Oh well, just a random question.

The subject is simple, which do you prefer? I personally prefer coke on a warm day and pepsi on a cooler day.

That is without to say that I enjoy both either way.

Here is a link to the video.

In my years here at newgrounds few movies have had such an emotional impact on me that I'm forced to write about it. This movie quite simply is a sprite movie taken to another level not seen on newgrounds.

The series was fantastic, but the 4th and final episode nearly had me in tears.

Everything was executed flawlessly, everything.

I strongly recommend this movie to everybody, plain and simple.

Watch it, praise him, give him 5. End post.

It's amazing how time flies, I remember like it was just yesterday when I was in junior high watching flash movies and playing flash games on this website. I wish I would of made my account back then, so it would show on my userpage.

Well, I wanted to share a very special game with you. It's called Combat Instinct. Combat instinct is probably one of the most influential flash games I ever played. Back in the day it was thought as great shit.

The game has 2 sequels which are worth playing, and a fantastic movie to boot. I feel the series got good attention but I think it could of gotten better attention. Please vote five for all of McfretN's work. As he has not only showed us what could be done with flash 5 (I believe). He's also made an awesome fictional world and has shown that anything is possible with pen and paper (essentially)

Combat Instinct.

Happy birthday to me, it's June 18th. And thanks to everybody at Newgrounds for giving me something to do those long boring nights of junior high and high school.

I find it rather ridiculous about how many daily submissions we get of half-made shitfest games and movies only showing a small percentage of the finished product. Why do it?

With newgrounds having it's own blogging system I could easily make an annoucement here or on the forums about a project.

Why I think people submit demos? Because they are so eager to get their work on the portal and are too lazy to put work and time into making a decent submission.

Patience is a virtue and people need to start making use of it.

I guess seeing the amount of shit submissions gets to me after a while. Yeah, I got a flash project I'm working on but I'm not ready to release details about it. I plan to make my first and probably only flash submission worthy of viewing complete with smooth frame animation and sound.

What do you folks think? Do you like the current trend of submissions? Agree or disagree I'm all ears.

I have to admit, I've been on newgrounds for a while. I started visiting this site back when I was in junior high. (High school graduate now)

I suppose I'll always enjoy the website. And although I don't agree with some of the direction the site has taken. I still feel it's a great place to see some great artistic vision some people really have.
