Hey everyone,

Just recently I was approached by "Rina-Chan/Kagome" who's starting a regular podcast about the Newgrounds community. Basically she plans to interview a different animator/programmer/person of interest every week or 2 and post them on this bloggy thingy whatsit for all to hear.

For some reason she asked me to be her first victim, so I gladly agreed. So if you want to listen to me bable about pointless crap for 20 minutes (not sure why) then this is what you want. If you're interested in doing one to, maybe try PMing her or something.

I also believe she has future plans to do video interviews with Newground artists at Comic-Con. So I guess that's pretty coo'.

Also I'm pulling an all nighter to finish the last episode of Gamer Tonight. My ABC contract finally ends on Wednesday morning, so I'm pushing to meet deadline. If you think "FIGHTER GAMER" is the most recent episode, you're sadly mistaken. There's about 5 new ones up on the site with 2 more coming in the next few weeks.

I plan to make some stupid flash for Newgrounds prior to me leaving for LA on the 30th of June. Not exactly sure what right now, but it will be stupid.

Maybe I should troll Newgrounds with Halo:Awesome Evolved 2!! I still get emails and requests to make "hentai games" from that (yes I know, it's fucking disturbing). Just send me an email about the sponsorship Tom, I know you're already interested in this project. We'll talk about the shirts later.

Also, when we get closer to the date... I'm going to try do a head count of all the NG people going to San Diego Comic-Con (probably gather up some mobile numbers n'shiz so we can find eachother). Because from what I understand this year will be hooooj.

Peace,

-Ross

P.S. Thanks for the GAYMOAR2NITE WID DICK FUCKASS collection page. Flattered, really.

Below: Some FAGGOT called Egofaptor drew this.

Kira or "Rina-Chan", invited me to do a little interview for a new podcast she's starting up. So I accepted the offer as I always enjoy interviews.

You can check it out here!

Also related to a quote in the interview, here's my version of the Newgrounds logo.

What jolly fun.

Last week I started working on a new DeviantArt+SheezyArt page ID. I was keen to try and document the creation of it all so using Camtasia I recorded the process.

Only 1 of the videos has music, I forgot to put it in the last one.

Now you might want to take notice to how long it takes to FUCKING FILL AND DRAW LINES ON MY SHITTY ASS PIECE OF CRAP COMPUTER. Remember this is at 700% speed. So as you can see it's kinda depressing for me when I work on flash like this.

Also, I was recently looking for a place to stay for Comic-Con.. Since I kinda realized my aunts place is 2 hours away from the convention area. SO I went looking for someone to room with at a hotel.

Surprisingly it seems that Jordan "Cycon" Miller of "ProjectDCK" fame is going to Comic-Con with a number of friends.. So it seems I'll be rooming with him! Should be fun.

Man has time really flown... It feels like just yesterday I was planning this trip. I can't wait to leave for LA on the 30th of June! :D

Also, next Wednesday my Gamer Tonight contract with ABC ends. I can't believe it, I'm so fucking happy to have just about pulled through the contract.

Also I got invited to some collaboration yesterday. I hear it's pretty lame and gay. I'll probably do something.

Which will also be lame and gay.

Peace,

-Ross

And that's why Ross has never joined in a Pico Day. THE END.

Also here's a drawing I'm working on!

:'( SAD FACE BAAAAW

I'm on the verge of finishing the second last Gamer Tonight. Then there's 1 more.

1 more.

This makes me happy, very happy.

The ABC contract required me to produce 8 episodes for their show Good Game.. Then I'm free. It doesn't feel like long ago I was starting this, stressing over deadlines and what not... But yeah I pulled through it seems.

It's not that I dislike working on Gamer Tonight, it's just I'm extremely sick of bodging my work to meet deadlines (plus throwing the same symbols around for 6 months suuure is brain numbing). I know I can push myself to do waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better once the chains of time constraints fall off.

I'm planning to fully re-animate the original 6 episodes for a Gamer Tonight DVD in a much higher quality - with a storyline explaining why the characters are being interviewed (yeah, pretty much a film). I was planning to make this for the Perth SUPANOVA convention.. But sadly I won't make it in time.. So it will have to be something I'll do for the end of this year. No comments on the story right now, because I start writing after Comic-Con. It will most probably revolve around Richard exploiting gamers through sleazy contract deals and false promises. Should be a good laugh.

Also, luckily I survived my first car crash this last weekend! It wasn't too bad, but I sure was shaken up a bit. I was coming back from the "Triple J - One Night Stand" concert. It was pretty much a concert that's held out in a random remote country town. I was down there camping with a bunch of friends. Good times were had by all. All the bands were from Western Australia, so it was awesome.

Best bands of the night were:

Faker - This Heart Attack:

PNAU - Wild Strawberries:

Dancing guys in strawberry suites on the stage with the flash animated one raving on a screen behind the band. Was rather neato.

Anyways, I'm back from the trip alive.

Peace,

-Ross

How's shit going?

We all cool?

Peace,

First of all, isn't this new embed feature just amazing? Seriously.

I mean, now we can illustrate points with silly videos.

<IMG>BIG FLOPPY DICK</IMG>

But apparently not with images.

:(

Anyway, I'm going to abuse this feature in this news post and share some of my favourites.

^ In case you didn't know, I fucking love Godzilla.

Now for something completely different.

Above we have a small recording of myself, my mate Justin and Joe "Xenon" Outterside walking around my home town drunk on easter. Joe was ballsy enough to tell a bunch of hobos that he was infact Jesus. One of which had a samurai sword.

Yes. A. Fucking. Samurai. Sword.

Joe is elsewhere now, but it was fun having him chill here for a month. When I get back from Comic-Con we're going to be working on a flash together OVER THE INTERNETS and it will be fucking awesome.

Mondo cool.

Payne Serge ULTIMATE CREATURE THE THIRD explains the "hardships" involved with "sprite editting" (also known as art theft).

Just felt like trying out the video embed feature.

I really don't have anything to say.

So, how have you guys been?

Just thought I'd confirm that. You can read the embarrassing emails I received here.

Also, I have 3 more Gamer Tonights left for this current TV contract.. So after that I really want to sit down and work on a few ideas I've had in my head for months. Preferably I'd like to do them before I go to USA in July. They're not satire related, so hoorah for that. I'm so sick of working on Gamer Tonight right now.

I want to make a cartoon about dinosaurs. I love dinosaurs.

Joe Outterside/Xenon has left my place.. after living with me for a month. Myself and all my friends will miss him greatly. Such an awesome bloke.
