Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Almost a year now since my last post. Not much goin on these days...almost done with my associates degree, four years of college after that. Most of my friends are away at college, got a few good friends fighting for us over in Afghanistan. Lifes been alright I suppose if a little dull, mostly just doin college work, playing xbox and doin things with my girlfriend...Havent really been on Newgrounds in quite a while, ive lost a lot of interest in this site but I do get on occasionally, life jsut gets to freakin busy sometimes.

Heh, alright well I guess thats it for now, thanks for reading, stay cool.

I havent been on newgrounds in quite some time until today of course and I suddenly had this urge to piss off Ashfrupt again. Weird huh?

Its been a while since that whole ordeal with spamming and im glad i've been able to put it all behind me. For those of you who actually do go to my Newgrounds page and do reply to my posts thanks. My good friend RPGsrok is working hard on Dual Arms to get it to you as soon as he can. It will be at east 20 minutes long so he plans on splitting it into two parts, he has all of the audio for the characters done and is now finishing up the actual animation. My guess is that Dual Arms: Verbatim will be out around mid 2009, hopefully earlier. As usual my xbox gamertag is Shadowknight369 so if you want, feel free to send me a friend request, all I ask is that you tell me before hand so that I don't get rid of it ( I don't usually accept random requests). My 2nd semester of college is over and I wont be going back until January 19th. I did fairly well in my animation classes and finished the year with a 4.2 GPA. So far its been fun, but when I transfer to the college that I really want to go to, I plan on taking some courses in flash animation. Well thats pretty much it, see you all later.

Ok so the whole spamming/ trolling crap is behind me, never again will I deal with that kid. Moving along, I seem to have become tight on money but there are two games I wish to purchase...and of course im only allowing myself to buy one... They are Mirror's Edge and Left 4 Dead. The demo for Mirror's Edge was fantastic and was really fun to mess around with, while the same thing goes for Left 4 Dead. Any suggestions? Also my xboxlive gamertag is Shadowknight369, so if you want, toss me an invite and ill probably join, been playing a lot of Gears of War 2 lately.

On another note, I havent gotten any updates on my friends flash movie Duel Arms: Verbatim, but if your a fan of anime style drawing, or just like some action with a decent storyline, check out his page here: RPGsrok.

Thats pretty much it at the moment, so ill see you all later, and ill make sure to respond to your comments.

This was a post on Ashfrupts page, concerning myself, I did not bother reading it, as by now iv'e learned that he simply repeats himself and im tired of reading the same boring insults day after day. The reason his post is here in this, is to show truly what kind of person he is.

Anyway back the issue at hand. I want to get this straight, I am 19 years old, I am a college student, I do have a job, I do have a girlfriend, and yes, I am a mature adult willing to take the time to deal with people like Ashfrupt. Im sure we all know people like him, the ones who get off every night after thinking about how they insulted people that day, the kind who simply walk around school cowering in fear never saying a word, never talking to anyone, or speaking up in classes, they have few of any friends, are bullied by people, and in general are lacking a social life and have little self esteem. These people like Ashfrupt, take their lives onto the internet and try to act like they're tough, in many cases like Ashfrupt. They attempt to build up their own self esteem through the harassment of others, and when someone pushes back, they panic and retaliate in a manner most immature, spouting streams of insults and swear words at people. The internet is an amazing place, and many people enjoy it for the sake of anonymity, however there are people who try to infringe on that by bringing their problems and their own personal lives here, most can actually step through and leave their baggage at the door, but Ashfrupt and others like him, cannot. Ive been called delusional, immature, idiotic, etc.etc. I could keep going on and on, and all of it from one single person, and in every single reply I made back to him, I typed up with a sense of dignity and intelligence, refusing to fall to his level. He feels the need to insult me for that fact simply because he himself cannot do what I do. Im not perfect, no one is really, however I at least can have the maturity to acknowledge that fact. I honestly cant tell how many people visit my page, or even bother to comment but if you at least read this that's great.

His post begins here:
"you see how fucked-up he is? there is no troll squad, shadowknightx pls be more sensible. although you might sound mature and put on a pretentious front that you're 19 years old,not everyone will fall for your tricks. your post is pure evidence of how much of an unwanted, shameless,pathetic,worthless fuckhead you really are. i'm pretty sure you're gonna comment on my post using the same mature tone you have always used,fact is, you're a little way off the track. your attempts to defame someone who is much more talented than you are slowly failing with every single passing day. you might say i'm some 14 year old sitting infront of the computer typing out insults,matter of fact is,you're a dumb little 19 year old fuckface hypocrite who does exactly the same and even taking the time to respond to the comments on your post like a dumbfuck. man,has your maturity slowly declined with each passing day since you began to believe that you're no longer a loser thanks to me or is it you're just too stupid and fucked-up to realize that noone gives a flying fuck about your long,boring comments which contain senseless bullshit.

i will be waiting for you? huh? you don't need to wait for me,i will wait for your mum to be impaled on the garden fence when she flies off your dad's dick. i will be filming every single moment and gladly embracing the fact that your vietnamese war veteran of a dad cried every single day when he knew that he personally screwed dead his beloved bitch.man,if you're gonna do this out of desperation to get attention or just want someone to vent your anger on,tell me,i can solve your problems, don't play smart because in the end,not only will you make yourself out to be a self-assuming blithering idiot , i will also ban you out of boredom and taking into account that you made a post defaming me without my permission.that's all, btw,i bet less than 3 ppl will even bother to comment on your ignorant,rushed post.except of course your stupid little playmate CalumnJohnston.haah,you two are quite the blithering face of ignorance."

This all started entirely when I responded to his posts on my page, I believe it was simply "fuck you pidgeon arse," and because I bothered to respond, it slowly escalated into this pathetic waste of time and resources. Since then, he has tried to humiliate me, not only threatening myself but the members of my family. He claims that I am a fraud, liar, idiot, immature, but in the end, if you look right down to the beginning you would see that much of what he claims applies to himself. If I was immature, or idiotic, delusional maybe, it would have been me leaving spam and messages on peoples pages, but I decided that I wouldn't let him off simply through ignorance, people like him are so irrational, uncaring, and hardheaded that they will never learn from what they've done to others. Thank you to all the people, who took the time to read this, I honestly do appreciate you taking the time out of your day to stop and listen to what I have to say. But iv'e come to the realization that in my attempt to make him see the fallacies of his actions, I had unwittingly fallen to his level. So in order to keep my dignity as a human being, and my reputation as an honest down to earth individual, I will be the one to end this ordeal here and now.Ashfrupt, This is the end, this is where it stops. There will be no more of your comments on my page, no more of your incessant nagging and threats against my family. I swear to you here and now, that the next time you post on my page I will ban you, I will not associate myself with you any longer. You may continue to rant about me on your own time, but you will spend none of mine. This Is The End.

This is pretty much a blatant call out to the troll squad to spam my page with their worthless garbage because I feel like destroying them verbally again, thanks for the inspiration Calumn. Anyway, to all of those out there who don't know about this pathetic little collaboration of idiocy, the Troll Squad organized by none other my apparent arch enemy Ashfrupt, consist of maybe five people at most. Although I cannot confirm this, I believe Ashfrupt is a mildly depressed teenager having trouble in his life, therefore forcing him in a way, to live his life at the computer where he insults people on a daily basis. After about three weeks of being spammed by him, and then crushing him utterly, he decided to organize a little thing he calls "The Troll Squad," and has tried repeatedly to frustrate and bother me and and many others. However, unlike the trolls of the past who could piss off nearly anyone you could think of, the self proclaimed Troll Squad has seen a great deal of defeats so id like to proclaim a new title for them: The Unsuccessful Troll Squad, it sounds more official, but somehow I don't think they would like it. You see, unlike trolls of the past, these ones cannot understand or even recognize their failures and instead continue to build on their reputation of failure. The most active members of said squad are Krauser609, NarutoUzumaki...blahblahblah, and finally none other than our very own Ashfrupt, so if any of these individuals comment on your page, either destroy them verbally, or if your not up to the challenge, simply ban them from typing the english language on your account page ever again.

Alright Ashfrupt hit me with your best shot, ill be ready!

The united states has just ended its voting process and has now acknowledged Barack Hussein Obama as our new President. I at least hold some comfort in knowing that y vote was not one that contributed to this, im a registered independent, but I tend to sway more towards the Republican party.
Im posting this to at least let people know my opinion, but also some cold hard facts on what Obamas policies would bring about.

Socialized Health care: Socialized health care is a joke. It doesn't work, nothing socialized will ever work. Canada has a socialized health care program so ill use theirs as an example. The way it is, is this, you and everyone else in the country are divided up into "groups," your group must see, and can only see this doctor. He is the only doctor for your area and you absolutely cannot go to any other doctors. It doesn't matter if hes good or bad, if he flunked out of medical school, or got the worst grades in his class, he could be the best doctor in the world or the worst, and if its the worst, too bad for you I guess, "have a nice day." Health care as it is right now is better for this reason: Our health care system doesn't allow inexperienced individuals to stay in business. The way it works at the moment is if hes a bad doctor no one has to go to him, a bad doctor will get no patients, and therefor lose his job, because he simply doesn't deserve it. With Socialized health care, that same doctor gets paid a salary and has the opportunity to slack off to boot.

Plan to "distribute the wealth": Lets get the ball rolling by saying this, who the hell does Barack Obama think he is when he claims he has the right to "distribute" other peoples money. The fact is, the people who are considered rich (making over $250,000) got to where they are through hard work, that money and the life they live, they earned it! Sure no one wants to do hard work, and making money just plain sucks, having a job sucks,. You know what? deal with it, every other generation of Americans has, not everybody gets rich, that's just a fact. For a person to claim the right to take money away from people and give it to whoever the hell they went is preposterous, if not entirely wrong. This "distribution of wealth" takes money that people have earned and gives it to the poor. Now im not trying to sound like an asshole, but do you know why those people were poor to begin with? They didn't work, they didn't care. The poor, the majority anyway, have gotten themselves to where they are, and Barack Obama would like to take your hard earned money and give it to them. Does this make any sense? at all? No! it doesn't! Hes going to give people free money! sounds nice right? Yeah everyone loves free money, but that will change nothing, those people will still not work, and those people still won't care. Its like feeding a black hold money.

Taxes: Barack Obama plans to raise taxes, but hes not actually going to raise them. Confused? I was to, so I looked into this a nit. George Bush had implemented a tax cut, lowering taxes on average about 4%. Thats not half bad, problem is that it expires two years from now. When it expires, all Barack Obama has to do is simply not renew it, and bam thats a 4% increase in taxes and a little more spending money in his pocket. "Thanks for electing me America, oh and im gonna need a few extra bucks to pay for...well you know, stuff." Jimmy Carter did something fairly similar, and I hope to god Obama doesn't go through with this. Carter almost drove this entire country into the ground, almost bankrupt it. Interest on loans for housing was around 21 percent!!!! do you know what that means? That meant for every dollar you threw down, you got 21 cents worth of interest, right now housing interest is around 3 maybe 4 percent, if Obama goes through with his plans for taxes, we might be lokking at something eerily similar.

Now, that isn't simply my opinion, my opinion is in there, but it is also quite true. On another note, lets take a look at Obamas backers, does anyone know any of them, who are they. Its kind of like "the man behind the curtain" or "the ones pulling the strings," sure theres the supporters of Obama that were seen on television all the time, but who backed him? Ive found something a little interesting that I think you should take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Students_
for_a_Democratic_Society_(1960_organiz ation)

It is an extremist organization, but how does this relate to Obama? Ill show you,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weather_U nderground_Organization

this is another organization, spawned from the SDS, its leading founder is Michael Klonsky, this man is a known anti-capitalist, together with the rest of his organization, bombed government buildings, including the pentagon, and lead numerous attacks on his own country, and this is the kind of person who helps back Barack Obama?!?! If that doesn't ring any bells, how about the fact that this man, not only wasn't tried for his crimes, but is also teaching Americas future generations in college?!?! This si simply ridiculous.

Thats all ive got for now, id mostly likely say more, but for now im a little tired. Thanks for reading this. Im open to hearing anyone's opinion as well, all I ask is that you can back up what you say with facts from pure, trustworthy sources that actually give reliable information. Let me know what you think of our new president.

> First off, my good friend RPGsrok has finished getting a list of voice actors to play their parts in "Dual Arms: Verbatim" and has begun animating, the flash itself as of yet has no set date for completion. Make sure to view his user page which can be found in my favorite authors to take a look at his work.

>Recent games ive played are Chrome Hounds, which is by far the best realistic mech game ive played in years, and Alone in the Dark, quite possibly the only game to really have gotten my frightened whatsoever, its a great game but its way to hard to describe just go buy it.

>Halo 3 sucks. The game has died online and is now filled with people who only care about their ranks, its really not worth trying to have fun anymore.

>Call of Duty 5: World at War...really?! World War 2 again?!?! christ, pick a new topic and use some creativity for once in your life. Call of Duty 4 breathed life back into a dying series and now they've given it another dose of arsenic.

>Im clawing my eyes out waiting for Soul Calibur 4, Gears of War 2, and Guitar Hero 4.

>If you have an Xbox360 id recommend taking a look at the trailer for the game "Fracture," I saw the presentation for it at E3 about 2 years ago and it looked freaking awesome. Its an FPS but with the little twist of having every weapon in the game modify the terrain. (ex. Rockets that travel underground)

>Games I demand get ported to the Xbox360: Haze and Killzone 2

>Thats pretty much it so cya later!

So Final Fantasy: Crisis Core is awesome although I don't have a psp, I beat for my friend because hes terrible. My Xbox 360 is still broken so I guess Microsoft hasn't taken the 5 minutes to package up a new system and send it back to me claiming that it is mine (which I'm not really going to complain about). RPGSrok has handed out another update and has changed the name of his next flash from DA: Sides to DA: Verbatim, which iI am unsure of but what can I do. Since I dont go in the forums all to often, I have now found that the majority of the mods are complete assholes, so I ask "how and why are they mods if they suck at their job and abuse the privileges given to them?" Thats pretty much it so ill see you all later...well probably never actually but that matters very little...
Shadowknightx

Hey. I don't know why I keep making new posts here seeing as almost no one actually look at my page. Anyways I'm Shadowknightx and I'm a College student in Rochester New York. I'm majoring in game design and computer programming but I've never even tried to do anything remotely similar to flash (and certainly not worth uploading to Newgrounds, so don't ask) so I take the time to judge fairly and honestly with the small amount of skill I have. Ive been going to Newgrounds practically since this site was made (I just never cared enough to make an account until now) and I have to say, that it is my absolute favorite site on the great interweb...its almost like a second home (thats really scary and sad) and I've seen tons of amazing stuff and also an even greater amount of crap. What I've noticed since last year, is that all of the amazing flashes that pretty much laid the foundations for this site have been shoved aside from the top 50. And while I like some of them, many just don't live up to the greatness of flashes like The Real Legend or The Ultimate Showdown. In other news, my best bud on Newgrounds, RPGSrok, is making his third flash which in his new ongoing series. As far as I know, he started animating last year when he submitted the flash "Dual Arms: Nocturnus Chapel." Even though that animation wasnt the best, something got me hooked on it. So I've been supporting him from my home in this little game room on the corner of my house at this piece of crud computer as much as I can. He recently released a sequel to Nocturnus Chapel titled Dual Arms: Precipice, and after watching it, it should be noted by comparing Nocturnus to Precipice that his animating skills have gotten dramatically better overall. Moving on...RPGSrok is now beginning a third installment in his Dual Arms series titled Dual Arms: Sides, which sounds like its gonna be amazing. So anybody who likes things similar or related to Final Fantasy and the like, please check out his flashes and his user page which should be in my favorites. One last thing before I go, although because of college I tend to have my weeks filled up with tormentingly long classes, I seem to always be able to sneak in around 2 or 3 hours of gaming (which probably isn't necessarily a good thing I suppose) so heres my Gamertag for Xboxlive: Shadowknight369. Send me an invite anytime and maybe ill join. As of this moment I've been playing Call of Duty 4 pretty much nonstop, but for all you Halo people out there, I still get on from time to time. I also have a Youtube account named: Flashfireshadow. Its basically where I keep all the random vids I find...heres the link to my Youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=Fl ashfireshadow#
So if you even care, leave a comment or don't, its no big deal. Well thats all there really is for now. Cya later!
*Pic*...wait what?
*update...* my xbox360 got messed up so ive shipped it in for repairs. Average repair time is 3 weeks so im bored out of my mind...
