I just love giving my opinions and critiquing flash animations and games. I enjoy life and Newgrounds. I've got a lot to do, but hopefully I can contribute soon enough. Love and peace.

First news post? I guess it's news

Posted by DustinG Jul. 21, 2008 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Okay, so I'm not sure if this is supposed to be news necessarily or some sort of blog, but it's always good to post 'something' I guess. Anyway, I'd just like to rant for a moment about a few things that bother me, and then give some sort of news as to what I'm doing. If you want to skip the rant, just read the paragraph after the next paragraph.

Okay, as for my rant, I'd just like to say thanks to everyone who actually finds my reviews helpful, and thanks to the artist for their comments back on a few of them, as most of them were positive. I just recently returned to the site to write reviews and offer opinions and my reviews on flashes as well as some positive/negative feedback. I think that all of my reviews are helpful in some way, but it seems that some dip shits just love to hit the 'useless' button next to them for some reason. Now my question to everyone is this: How is a review useless if it offers constructive feedback, opinions, and has a point? It's not like I was abusive and said something lame. Yes for some reason I'll occasionally get the finger and the useless button for no reason. Luckily, some people are more generous than that and help me bounce back by adding a positive or two, but for the most part, it's just plain damn annoying. I'd really appreciate if people would actually interpret the review first instead of just marking it useless right away...drive me up a wall.

Now, for the actual news portion, I just got my hands on Adobe Flash and a few music programs so I'm going to be well on my way into making my first flash soon enough. I'm going to use an art style I'm familiar with, but I'm sure it will take at least a month to complete. However, that's because there are three mains reasons.

1. It's a detailed style that takes awhile to draw.
2. I'm lazy, procrastination is a bitch.
3. I'm not in a huge hurry, big deal? Never.

Alright, well I'm thinking of titling it "A Day In A Day" but I'm open to more opinions on what a good title would, given they are serious. Well, that's news and a rant, but it's not really that useful, but I'm sure blogs don't have a useless button. If they did, I'm sure some sad soul would be pounding on it.

Expected flash release date: August 24-September 20 2008
