These are well worth the wait.
Mr Sunday Movies love you Nick and mable
fancy seein you here eh
Mr Sunday Movies Mr Sunday?! holy shit
Mr Sunday Movies Agreed.
fuckin oath james
People act like Newgrounds is a thing of the past. It is still the creative hub that it used to be! Especially after the exodus of animators from RUclips.
2 Left Thumbs Great for art to, your stuff does not get buried in a mountain of crap like deviantart because of the scouting system
Hans Van Harken Oh hey, Hans, nice to see you here.
Yeah, I hate how people act like Newgrounds is dead. People still make content there and it's still good. I check every couple of months.
For young people just getting introduced to the world of animation, Newgrounds is probably still the best website to get some exposure to the various approaches to the medium. Though the curation system is pretty strict from what I've heard, it does ensure that the movies and games on the front page are at the very least decent.
NEWGROUNDS WAS FUNNY WHEN WE WERE ALL 12 LIVING IN THE SUBURBS LISTENING TO LINKIN PARK WATCHING DRAGONBALL Z DRINKING PEPSI WHILE PLAYING HALO CO-OP ON THE EASIEST SETTING DURING WHICH WE CONSUMED DORITOS AND LOOKED AT PAINTBALL GUNS ON EBAY IN INTERNET EXPLORER CONNECTED THROUGH AOL ON A 56K MODEM BEFORE HOPPING INTO OUR BALDING FATHERS’ LATEST MIDLIFE-CRISIS-IMPULSE-SPONSORED JAPANESE-BUILT SUV TO HEAD TO THE MALL AND GET MORE SKATEBOARDING SHOES AND THIRD-RATE IRREGULAR LEVIS AND MOUNTAIN BIKE PARTS BEFORE HEADING HOME, VOTING DEMOCRAT AND MASTURBATING TO THE LATEST SEARS CATALOG WHILE HUFFING PAINT IN YOUR GARAGE BEFORE TALKING TO PEDOPHILES ON AIM PRETENDING TO BE WHATEVER CAMWHORE THEY’RE RANTING ABOUT ON MYSPACE WITH A MATRIX QUOTE/ANIME CHARACTER NAME/TRIPLE SIX-ASTERISK-PARENTHESES-SURROUNDED SCREENNAME BEFORE HEADING TO YOUR SUPPOSED “GOOD SCHOOL” IN THE MORNING TO BUY MORE POT TO SMOKE DURING YOUR COUNTER-STRIKE LAN PARTY WITH JIMMY AND THE REST OF HIS FRIENDS TAKING RITALIN AND ADDERALL AND PROZAC EIGHT TIMES A DAY BEFORE TAKING A CASUAL PASS AT LOCAL, STATE OR NATIONAL GOVERNMENTIAL FIGURES, LEGISLATURE, OR STRUCTURE TO APPEAR EDGY AND INTELLIGENT IN FRONT OF YOUR BUDWEISER-SNEAKING, LIMP-WRISTED, NEAR-TO-COLUMBINE SOCIOPATHIC “DEEP” FRIENDS WHO PLAY THE VICTIM WHEN THEY START LOSING ARGUEMENTS SIX DAYS BEFORE THEIR BOTCHED SUICIDE ATTEMPT SIMPLY BECAUSE SCHOOL TRAMP NUMBER TWELVE WOULDN’T GO UNDER THE BLEACHERS WITH THEM TO LET THEM GET TO SECOND BASE BEFORE THEIR THIRTEENTH BIRTHDAY.
another great video. i think online animation is very far from dead, and the community has a lot to show in the near future despite how scattered it may appear.
thanks for giving the community such a cool shout out!
psychicpebbles Si, señor.
i agree but it is being made much harder to assess as places like you-tube and Instagram aren't really that accommodating to new you tubes especially if they animate
Some of the OG animators on Newgrounds are still pretty big, Zone-tan is the first that comes to mind... for reasons i'd rather not get into.
I'm excited to see where you and your collaborators take the industry. Huge fan, excited for the next episode of Schmucks to come out (if you haven't abandoned it yet lol)
Where’s hellbenders
Back in my day...
are you lock legion?
it's crazy a beginner animator just asked me if i knew about newgrounds and i was like WELL...... Ng is home
I really do wish I could have been there.
Not you
Goddammit Ross!
Right in the feels...
جخفض١
KILLING SPREE :D
Pog
Parody
Newgrounds is where I found PsychicPebbles, Oney, and Stamper. Those guys have been part of my life for over a decade now I think. And through them i've found other amazing animators and just other amazing creators in general. It really just gave me an appreciation for animation when you can see how long it takes and how much these people must really love it to fight this uphill battle.
Insomniac It's because of this that I'm so mad when people freeboot their animations. People didn't spend months making this for some dickhead to steal it.
Sadly now it feels like a lot of Newgrounds people are been backstabbed by the "New content creator" generation. Except Jontron.. he deserved it.
maggintons Lol no he didn't.
Likewise
Those 3 are rad fellas. As are RicePirate, Harry Partridge, El Cid, Johnny Utah, and formerly Egoraptor.
real nigga hours. PsychicPebbles, Oney, and Stamper along with the rest of sleepycabin are some of the funniest fucking people on the planet
To the people acting nostalgic for Newgrounds:
Newgrounds didn't leave you. *You* left Newgrounds!
Very true.
مين اسمك😅
I didn't and never will cause I ain't no simp.
Everyone's talking about new grounds and how they watched porn there as kids...
Here I am thinking: "I thought newgrounds was a place where I played games"
People did both we also laughed a lot ..........at peoples differences
good times old fella
EXACTLY
I looked at violent games when i was small.
I WISH I knew about Newgrounds for both the porn AND the games, that would’ve been so much easier…
Suddenly makes me want to make another Cactuar and Tonberry cartoon.
was thinking the same
DO IT
DUDE WTF I GOT UNSUBSCRIBED FROM YOUR CHANNEL
Man I still love that fight scene where Cactuar fights the all TVs in the TV store.
Mark P ,
oh hell yea
Sup!
Newgrounds was my go to site back when I was a kid. It literally had everything a 6-10 year old kid could want all right there. Funny flash cartoons, webcomics, flash games, cool art, and boobs. Now that I'm in college I kinda feel like some old fart whenever I reminisce about Pico, Xiao Xiao, and The Cliff with my friends. Newgrounds really is an important part of our generation that at times I feel is sometimes forgotten.
I don't know if many people understand how influential this man is going to become. In an era of youtube where everyone complains about the parts of media that suck (movie reviews, retro game reviews, etc.) we finally not only have someone who talks about appreciating art, but also in ways we might not have ever appreciated it before. For example, his watchmen video. I never noticed the mirrored panels on the fearful symmetry chapter, and the importance of color from a secondary palette. His pokemon video showed me just how much a game can bring people together. I'd be here all day if I listed everything this guy has taught me, but it really is staggering just how much I've learned.
But in the end, what I love most about this guy is that he's a fan. Fans get a lot of flack for being seen as people who simply ride the coat tails of successful creators. It's an unbelievably wrong frame of mind, though. Fans are what make those creators successful in the first place, and like Kaptain Kristian, they can easily give back to the creators with, in this case, beautifully crafted video essays on why they're so important and brilliant. And honestly, as an artist myself, hearing someone say that about you is one of the best feelings you can possibly have.
I dont know if you are into it, but in the last 3 years a number of anime personalities have popped up with similar styles to this guy, but they cont emit this guys cool vibe.
You might really enjoy 'Ahoy'
its a shame he *NEVER FUCKING POSTS*
this aged beautifully
YO THIS SITE IS WHERE I FOUND ZONE-TAN .
This man speaks my language!
Matthew Martinez that Jinx one was my favorite...until Bioshock
My eyes were glued to that hot mama Starfire daily for way too long. Teenage robot was a good one too.
There's a bioshock?!!
It was one of the only sites to feature free underground music from artists on the site since 2003. Also has great community contests in the forums, like the Art-Inspired Music Contest on the front page calendar. Original holidays like Pico Day, Robot Day, Pixel Day, there's so much to Newgrounds
Newgrounds for life! :D
Oh Hai friend! Didn't know you had youtube, subscribin. But yeah, NG is my second home, and I'm really happy because since 2013, Tom's supported me in contributing stuff like my annual music contests and annual holiday, I love helping the community, being a part of it, and the occasional upload of my songs, getting positive reviews.
And what's most amazing to me, I was following the good well-known artists like you for years before I got known and so it ends up the people I'm a big fan of are a fan of my work, and you even used one of my songs in the sequel to a game I loved (I liked the second one too). I never imagined i'd come so far on the site.
Psst, we need to collab again sometime :P you need a song, I'm your man. That is, if this man can make something fitting enough xD. Good luck on Loria, I really want to play that game, it looks beautiful, but so does the other games you've made. Someday I wanna crack out a mystery/horror point 'n' clicker I wrote. Your style inspired it. Keep up the great work man! :)
All hail Pixel Day :3
Tommorrow is Pico Day
dont forget madness day ;)
Dad and me was an amazing game😭
XOXO
hugz dan paladin omg i missed u its like a fuckin family reunion here
Come on now, Chainsaw the Children 2 was also you, admit it.
The word you might be looking for is "is".
You can still play it.
I was more excited when an animation of mine didn't get blammed for the first time than I was when I got accepted into college.
I know that feel, lol
Not to mention that the indie game movement started with flash developers, such as Edmund Mcmillen, who started posting stuff on newgrounds and went on to produce Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac, or The Behemoth, with Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater! We all should be thankful of the wonderful community of that website.
Daniel Moreno I didn't even know about the animation thing until a few years ago, I knew Newgrounds for games
Daniel Moreno Indie games were a thing long before newgrounds has them
But it was much harder to find good content. Newgrounds gave developers a dedicated place to host and display your games and let people experience them without having to install them. There were some indie gaming communities prior, but Newgrounds was incredibly influential in providing a widely viewed platform. Not only that, but the fact that Alien Hominid was made by a bunch of Newgrounds veterans and was one of the first widely published retail indie games. I'd say Newgrounds is as important or maybe even more important than something like Cave Story was to the rise of indies.
I still following people like Arin Hanson(Egoraptor), Ross O'Donovan(Rubber Ninja/Rubber Ross), OneyNG, The Behemoth, Edmund McMillen, Super Flash Bros since their humble beginnings on newgrounds and they ALL make great content to this very day
inb4 "but arin does game grumps and doesnt animate anymore"
Medium's Feeling Well He doesn't anymore?
My Uploads Check his channel. He hasn't made any of his own content for awhile.
Medium's Feeling Well Even a sequelitis would be great, but after the OoT after math he's just given up on it.
Ahhh good old Egoraptor.
I bought the metalgear awesome t-shirt back in the day.
I could voice over every single line from the metal gear awesome vids with pinpoint accuracy and intonation because I watched and loved them so much.
As a kid I loved newgrounds. It, along with AlbinoBlackSheep, were instrumental to me becoming who I am today. While AlbinoBlackSheep had some amazing (flash) vids, the site itself was rather lackluster and its lack of community and proper community moderation made sure Newgrounds became the bigger repository for artistic expression.
I wish I grew up in the era when Newgrounds was still super relevant and RUclips still hadn't become the massive entity it is now. I feel like I could've actually made something successful back then and practiced animation. Now it just feels like the standard for animation on the internet is too high. Not to mention how extremely difficult it is to get noticed on RUclips.
If the standard is high then that's a good thing, work harder.
@@reneelucero2923 Quality standards are NOT higher. Quantity standards are.
It sucked
You and me Both!
Although my issue was with the "Cartoons are Just for Kids!" stigma.
I would have totally pursued a career in animation a half decade earlier, If not for how everybody see's animation as either a family or comedy genre.
So much love and respect. Newgrounds was HUGE for me growing up. So glad to have seen these content creators go on to bigger, better things. Happy to call a few of them my friends, too. Extremely inspiring all the way around.
first love your music mandopony
always used this site at school in the mid 2000s. good shit
JJJ Same here
Yeah any time we had a sub or were in the computer lab it was newgrounds.com for me.
JJJ me too. Played games there and watched those cool animation videos.
JJJ For me it was coolmath.com in the late 2000s - early 2010s, but that's because no one told me about Newgrounds. Coolmath is like Newgrounds' lame cousin, though there can still be some great stuff on there.
probably the best thing to watch before school. thanks for the mood lifter, kaptian.
go back to playing Zelda
you are trying to trigger people with that name and profile pic right?
hang on a minute
Something isn't right here.
wait a second
AWESOME! I worked at Warner Bros Online back in 2000 animating Lobo, Gotham Girls and Looney Tunes in Flash and we spent HUGE parts of our day scoping Newgrounds. Absolutely love this vid/doc - great job!
Damn, what a trip down memory lane. I remember watching stuff on Newgrounds, Stickdeath, Jay Donaldson, etc. when I was a teenager. I was amazed by XiaoXiao and a thousand more short clips from all around those websites (most of them now dead and forever lost). No doubt, that's what got me into Flash and animation. Today, I work as a lead 3D artist for animation, I still have a lot of admiration for 2D art, and I'll never forget how it all started. Thank you Macromedia, and *thank you everyone doing everything*
I was just sitting in my chair and thought, 'you know what would be good? If KaptainKristian uploaded a new video' and boom entire day made.
That comment was a little bit too asslickish tho :D
i had the same though just now
Is the Newsground community still alive? I might consider producing some animated shorts there.
Somewhat; a lot of old talent is there still, but unfortunately it's just not on the radar of young people as much as RUclips is. If you want to animate, by all means do so, but I wouldn't go in expecting to get a huge amount of traction or views right off the bat. Networking is probably the most important thing - speak to people who like your stuff and build connections. You'll definitely get that out of Newgrounds.
If you want fame, you have to use RUclips. Like Kaptain said, use Newgrounds a springboard before RUclips.
Yeah most people use patreon for support instead of Newgrounds now.
Newgrounds, unlike RUclips, is a meritocracy; if you make something good, people will see it and critique it on its quality for all points (from color to sound direction). If your animation is one of the best in the last month or so, it'll break through the fluff and get frontpaged, which is step one in doing this professionally.
StaySkeptic Yeah, exactly; it's also a good place to get honest feedback, what was good and what needs improving, from people that actually know what they're talking about. Newgrounds isn't a place to get rich and famous, it's a place to be discovered and improve yourself.
I am a high school English teacher. A student recommended I check out this video. I have never heard of Newgrounds before, but from the way it's described it sounds like it the online animation equivalent of Image Comics. I'll be watching for the next developments in this new animation revolution.
Really hits you in the heart. I really wish Newgrounds was used by more people.
As a person who always used RUclips since I was a kid, it amazes me how this website was never in my radar.
I'm so grateful for the legacy Newgrounds left.
Tito Dick It was an interesting time. Where being edgy was acceptable and flash games and cartoons were surprisingly addicting.
It's never too late.
Pixelated Dreams fuckin picos school
Man, kids these days won't know...
Jo-Kai Gon-Zo i knew what it was, but wasnt all that interested lol
Fuck the relevance of the name Newgrounds just hit me and I feel like an idiot for not seeing it all these years.
Newgrounds introduced me to Japanese dating sims. Good times! I remember back in 2010, I had a student animate using Flash in hopes of making it on newgrounds. I hope he did.
The good old days. Newgrounds was the go to place when I was younger. Madness Combat, Salad Fingers, Egorapter, Sonic Shorts, the little skull kid with the chainsaw game, and so much more. That site was, is, and always will be the go to place for creators. Great video.
Pico and Alien Hominid was my shit.
Rell N Rev "I think I smell... *HATE*"
Holy shit the number of hours I spent on those flash games involving those good old characters.
So much fucking nostalgia
I fucked with TankMen super heavy.
Pico was awesome, I remember my mom shouting at me because I was at that boss that you have to shoot his dick to win xD
I remember playing Alien Hominid on Newgrounds like a little fucker when when I was like 8-9 in 2002-2003.
This video's points hit harder after watching Smiling Friends on Adult Swim, a TV series created by two newgrounds legends, Zach Hadel and Michael Cusack
Newgrounds? You mean where I use to watch porn as a kid?
I was just looking for this comment.
date 'n fuck?
Can't lie, I was to dude. I was to.
Joshua Merrill
My favorite Meet'n'fuck is Star Mission
Joshua Merrill Strip bowling haha
i was just on new grounds the other day trying to find a band i found through newgrounds, back like back 10 years ago. They had their stuff in the portal. They made it to a TV show in canada (where they and I am from) called Much DisBand (Much being the name of the channel, then called MuchMusic). They changed their name, was forced to change styles by their "Music Guru" then were told to disband because they weren't sellable enough. They made some music, then actually disbanded. And i know all this because i went back to New Grounds and found them. I used to love new grounds as a kid.
Harry Potter/DBZ and Egoraptor's Awesome Series were among my favorites from Newgrounds. The good ole days.....could've been better without the shitty AOL connection though
Pog
I was having a really hard time hearing you over all of that nostalgia
This is the place I first discovered Hentai....good times....
Van Damme's Frosty Mullet YES
but then we stumble upon those shadman pictures... SHUDDER
SMASH P0W
Shadman pretty much scared me off from NewGrounds...i gotta go back.
+David Lemos Shad's stuff has not gotten any worse or better, It's still fucked up. Also his site was down due to Roblox, he's done fucked up shit, but drawing roblox is what tipped the scale apparently.
Van Damme's Frosty Mullet ah yes the days of Zone tan's Teen Titan videos!
Mr.Death
You mean, he made Roblox erotic content?.
Hell yeah
Ayyy, even you are here... wait, y isnt anyone else commenting:(
@@atomiclear I think people forgot
this video really got to me, newgrounds was my childhood. it was a unforgettable experience, i still remember times getting caught watching the 18+ animations, or my family walking by and asking "what are you watching?". the funny thing was at the time, i didn't know what i was watching either, but i loved it. from madness series to nockforce, egoraptor, sleepycabin crew, sexuallobster, zone-tan,the game jams, street fighter and metal gear collabs, the sonic rpg and mortal kombat vs street fighter sprite animations, the old shitposts and terrible strawberry clock memes, all the different holidays, anything you can think of. there was so much for me to enjoy, it introduced me to so many animators and content creators that i love to death, and definitely influenced the humor and creative process that i have today. it saddens me that newgrounds is not as big as it was, and that patreon has replaced newgrounds for animators and content creators, but i did enjoy the laughs and entertainment it brought me over the years.

Something about the timing when this video came out gave a lot of us Newgrounds alumni a second wind of motivation. I don’t mean to speak for others, but i remember feeling a positive mood shift in a lot of us.
And I’d like to thank you for that kaptain.
Nice to see this video getting the attention it deserves. I first found this through Tom Fulp's official post. It goes without saying that there was heart put into making this. This was well written up, and helps put a light on Newgrounds that often times gets overlooked. Job well done
FINALLY! I bingewatched all your videos a month ago, and have been waiting to see when you'd post a new one. Goosebumps and nostalgia, this is the best RUclips channel that has ever existed.
I can't get over how amazing you're editing style is
consistently amazing
I love you so much for giving NG a shout out. Growing up with that website is probably the whole reason I do any art of any kind at all. Bless Fulp.
Now go support the site everyone.
The Xiao Xiao series, good times.
Pog
#14 on trending. Holy cow kaptain, your content is magnificent, enjoyable, soothing even. the work you put into your pieces is admirable. I love the writing and editing off course, much like Oceans Ultra, your videos bring so much nostalgia to so many of us, bittersweet maybe, but amazing. Thank you for the great content.
HOLY FUCK I WAS HOPING THIS NEWGROUNDS VIDEO WOULD COME
any mention of the clay animation phase in 2003 to 2008 with knox klay world? that guy got me into stop motion for a couple of years!
My first videos were clay on NG. But I straight up quite after people kept saying I was ripping Knox off.
Had never heard of him until then, watched his videos and was like "Wow this guy is really good, there is no room for me here."
15 years later I regret that decision more than anything else.
If you are a 16 year old with un-diagnosed mild depression, don't let some random strangers on the internet get you down.
grinningtiki220 lol I was told the same. even though my design was different
rip Flash, forever to ruffle around in our hearts
My Favorite is Madness Combat. I know you barely see it in here cause of how violent it is, But it inspired me to be the artist I am.
your videos bring tears to my eyes dude, please never stop.
Sadly, Newgrounds is blocked in my country. You'll need a VPN to open it here. **sigh** So much for freedom...
Tactical Nuke which country?
Tactical Nuke Same, But In My Country Using Vpn Is Common So I'm Used To It.
Newgrounds is banned in Turkey?
Yup. Why You Ask? Because It Is Considered "Unethical" *sigh*
Indonesia. The fucking ministry is soo stupid with their whole "positive internet" bullshit (censoring "bad" stuff). Like, can't we take care of ourselves as responsible citizens? Are all of us 8 year olds who can't handle things like that? Come on now...
Man Newgrounds. That brings me back! Blockhead, Klayworld, Leo and Satan, Salad Fingers, Strong Bad. So much nostalgia
Newgrounds was vital to me in my teens; it was my home. It lead me to be interested in animation, which lead to me being interested in film in general. I still have a few songs from the audio portal on my iPod, over a decade later.
That's the phase I've entered now. I'm 17 years old. 🙂
Such a great website! 😍
Meet n Fuck was the hardest game series I've ever played...
Loved watching my favourite episodes of Teen Titans on Newgrounds.
Aerry Suri Like what?
Aerry Suri ooh i see what you did there ;)
Eclipsoray Man Wait....oh no!
@@user-qp5yu1zq1m oh YESSSS
XD
I remember when I was a young teen, we didn't have cell phones with internet back then and we only had one computer. At night, I'd sneak out of my room and go on Newgrounds to watch videos by Zone. I was terrified of being caught back then, keeping the volume as low as I could since I couldn't find any headphones and always looking over my shoulder to make sure no one else was there.
Don't forget the audio portal with pargonx9s music
Wave Razor I still keep a folder/playlist with tracks I've downloaded from NG. Such talent in that site!
Wave Razor you misspelled xKore
Dimrain47 plz
Production values are off the charts, my man. Great work.

Glorious morning,
The ultimate showdown,
Good animation,
Animator vs. Animation
Two words fat Mario
i like paragonx9 because of his sonic musics >:3
This got me to binge a bunch of stick figure fights on Newgrounds and RUclips. The Hyun's Dojo RUclips channel is worth checking out.
I remember back in the day around 2002 when I discovered newgrounds and was fascinated about how supportive the community was as a whole. It inspired me to learn and teach on many matters of subjects, and it all started just by asking animaters how they did certain things and what programs the used. After all if you can't do than teach.
I swear this guy could talk about paint drying and I'd still be interested. Top notch work, man. keep it up.
anyone remember playing Pico on newgrounds back in the late 90s?
scrotum the dog was a good series as well.
Don't remind me pls i was four back then
Man... I literally went to the trending tab on purpose for the first time ever and found your channel and ive just been fucking watching for like an hour... honestly just thanks for bringing to light how much all of this shit from my childhood means man, I never thought about most of the stuff you talk about yet it's almost painfully relevant. Keep it up homie
That beat at the end always gets me.
It was the first place I started sharing music. I was inspired by the community with it's wide range of art, animation, and music that I just can't seem to grow out of. Newgrounds has been a place welcoming everyone from already famed users and those starting to seek dreams for what they were passionate about. Newgrounds is truly the place where dreams start. I miss the old Audio Portal where top weekly songs were featured by our robot friend jamming to our tunes.
That was an amazing way to put it. Honestly a lot of people sort of abandon their goals in wanting to do animation because it might be to hard or they lose their focus. if you want to make something, anything just don't give up. this is a huge motivator (as well as advertisement) for newgrounds and it's people. I find some old things there that I fully enjoy almost each day and it goes to show it really has a long road ahead of itself.
Wow I miss new grounds. So many good memories as a kid on there
Absolutely outstanding, not only grew up on Newgrounds, but with. being 14 in 2004 was a wild time for someone who just got cable internet. It's going to be really hard going forward trying to explain the internet pre-boom. How do you describe Autumn Tree, the flash based on Columbine, or just the dumb funny flash videos that always struck front page. I seriously think there could be books on the internet before everyone had cable internet, youtube, amazon, and facebook which now rule the world and everythings based on Twitter and Instagram.
Thanks for makin this, great job
Man... seeing that Disney CalArts class and then the new school animating class made me think... black animators are extremely hard to find... hard to agree with the "everything, by everyone" when you don't see much of everyone... Just thinking about how I wanted to animate once and a lot of my friends did and do, but is there really a place for us to do that? Who knows! Newgrounds was legendary though, I should upload music there again.
2002 .. i was soo happy when my movie ( Galapagos ) was number one in the newgrounds Portal for many days
i would stay up all nite reading all the comments in my movie again and again i was 14 ..those were the days .
Damn, having all these og newgrounds creators is hitting me in the feels.
Just became an NG supporter because of this video :) thanks for reminding me of my roots
Do an episode on Homestar Runner
Kai Crannell dude... yes
yes please
Boringstar Runner?
theodoeshutup ikr
Kai Crannell StrongBad:Yeah good idea for a wierdo
This video almost made me shed a tear. As an artist it gives me a delightful feeling knowing that no matter what happens there's always gonna be a community of like minded individuals to share ideas with one another.
Dude, Salad Fingers and Charlie The Unicorn are my ultimate childhood on Newgrounds!
Holy shit, your word choice is so damn poetic. Top notch!
The Behemoth, Edmund McMillen, Game Grumps, SleepyCabin - all of this and more because of some incredibly driven people that gravitated to Newgrounds. I'm so glad to have grown with the platform, and to watch as my favorite content creators progressed with their talents.
So glad someone is taking the time for this. People always talk about Newgrounds as just a nostalgic thing of the past, but the fact is the members of that community are starting to do some crazy things. They are pitching and working on stuff that is going to be the foundation of a lot of western animation going forward. I hope it continues and I hope we can all recognize the place Newgrounds had in that. Thanks so much for shining such a polished light on this stuff, truly.
In about 10 years we'll see a bunch of 2d movies in theaters
Let's make that happen!
I hope, CGI is everywhere nowadays.
Doubtful
u heard of anime yea
@@typoded no I don't watch porn
Back in the 2000s when I checked on Flash it was 400 USD. Accessible? But I guess we all know why that price doesn't matter.
400 is still cheap compared to other adobe products, Like PS being 600. So, accessible isn't really accurate, more ''affordable''. However, now there are animation programs that are 100 dollars to free, and drawing tablets that are 200-400 dollars. Now it's accessible.
YO HOHO ME MATEYS!
@@fancyrobot6026 YAR BE GETTIN' SOME PIRATE TREASURE!!!
I still remember setting NewGrounds as the Homepage when I was a kid :')
great, thanks, you got me hooked on watching that one speed sausage video over and over again
Hey Kristian. Really glad to see one of your videos again. I think you choose really interesting subjects to talk about Everytime. Love the way you edit the video and handle the visuals man. When I get my paycheck I'm gonna submit to your Patreon man, this kind of talent needs to be funded
2017: this video.
2022: Smiling Friends
Newgrounds is way better then youtube
If they had a proper moblie app and a better way to monetize then it could take over RUclips so easily
Wow, 17 on trending, congrats dude. Cool to see this channel growing, you make really good videos
Getting up in the childhood feels man.
I remember watching all the Xiao Xiao flash videos with the old dial up connection. It would take like and hour to load, but they were always worth it.
If you like the new grounds style animation and need a good laugh, look up doodle doods. It's Ross, Egoraptor, oney and guests drawing popular characters without reference in a time limit. Quality work
I just realized that I was on newgrounds before facebook even existed. Amazing
rip edd gould
Sigh I remember when Egoraptor/Arin released "The Awesome Series" to the world, then almost everyone on NG started following his artstyle
Used to play some pretty twisted and fun flash games there as a teenager, something like piku?
You're stuff actually inspires me. Like, I cannot explain it, but I just tear up watching your content. You talk about all the things that have been good in my life and bring them to light. Thanks man.
Literally the video that inspired me to learn about editing, now I’m at 2500 subs
It’s not much, but it probably wouldn’t have happened without kaptainkristain
probably won't read this but if you love Malcom in the Middle or Radiohead im sure many of us would love to hear your love letters about them
Speaking of playground, I see even you failed to mention how much of the modern Indie and mobile gaming scene has it's roots in design, aesthetic and mechanical philosophies that were popularised and perfected on Newgrounds.
Prime example being Castle Crashers developer The behemoth who was one of the biggest names there. Then of course there were the Thing-Thing and Madness games; a series of side scrolling shmups with controls and mechanics so sharp and precise, most AAA would be put to shame. And of course Plague Inc., the ability to destroy the entire human race from the comfort of your browse.
I'm sure there are a ton more people who learned and polished their programming and art skills on the Games portal, many of which I've played but forgotten about.
