March 16 2010 Dwayne Gets Lucky St. Sheepie's Day

This year's St. Patrick's Day contest theme is simply "Feelin' Lucky" and any completed animation in the short timespan of two-weeks is pretty impressive. One thing I have noticed is that each entry has at least one character that is extremely angry. First up is Andrew Kepple trying to hide his accent.

If you say you "saw it coming" in SaltyPeach's animation, I just won't believe you.

What's probably going on here is AvidLebon portraying some sad reality into her animation. This idea came to be from her discussion with friends about the type of guys they dated. You'll also notice competing contestants have no problem helping each other out.

In the top two for angriest drunk. Thanks for entering your first contest here, Mr-Scriblam.

Mr.Fizzy completed his entry in the first couple days and watched everyone else panick trying to meet the deadline. Do you know someone like that at school. Although I always wanted to be that someone, I just work too well under pressure for that to ever be me.

The date of the deadline was Thundaboom's birthday (according to the Canadian calaendar). This is supposedly why he didn't finish. Happy Birthday.

Lepy, how could you? I added you to Twitter, man. I *@(%*& added you to Twitter. :(

So there you have it. Comment to give feedback and help decide the winner, not that it matters since it will all depend on luck, of course. Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day from members Andrew Kepple, SaltyPeach, AvidLebon, Mr-Scriblam, Mr.Fizzy, Thundaboom and Lepy. Wear green responsibly.

March 15 2010 Beware the Ides of March

The St. Patrick's Day animations should come in nicely and steadily around midnight. In the meantime, I rerun some Pogo for an iPod/iPhone compatible Music Monday and try my hand at being a "film cricket" as Homer Simpson would say.

March 14 2010 Π Day

Today is both Pi day and Einstein's birthday. I can't believe I needed Twitter to remind me.

March 10 2010 Death, Taxes and Spam

Our top story tonight, Chris Voigt leads the day's update yet again.

There are three types of virgins. A. Virgins by choice. B. Virgins by way of poor social skills and C. People who should be in group B, but claim otherwise for reasons of prestige.

R. Wappin has made some small changes to Happy Noodle vs. Sad Noodle making some images that were on the screen for very short periods more prominent. Also, one non-Flash, but ToonBoom school creation titled, Oh, Mr. Woofykins which still contains the classic R. Wappin Flash style much like Apple Story.

Enjoy the There She Is !! soundtrack. Some of these musicians got fame from the Flash series itself, which says quite a bit about the virality of Flash.

Alright, these are the noob files, so they will need all the feedback they can get. Michael Jessen plans to make Sidekick Stan into a series. My thoughts (which I usually don't make public) is that while the dialogue is there, the voice acting needs more realism, but the artwork is unique.

Follow @albinoblack on Twitter to get hints of what I'm working on.

The trick, you see, into getting your characters included in an update as clipart is to animate full-body action shots of the characters.

Since you're here to kill time, you should watch it until the end.

Looked like a terrible game at first, but then I played it, and kept playing it, and kept playing it some more.

Due to ABS Forums' feedback, I believe Ross Graham will always have great soundscapes in his animations.

Nobody watch Jay Leno; not even "just to see".

Today is Texas Independence Day, and Jimmy Egeland has a little animation just for that.

An action-packed adventure game by Ben Kling.

Update was getting a bit long, but I got some R. Wappin for next time, plus some noob files. There's a little St. Patrick's Day contest going on in this site, if anyone is interested in animating for it.
