So I've been doing animations for about 2 years now, and have been trying to work up my style and method of animation, as well as my techniques to become an animator who can have some decent credit on the Internet. Recently I've made two animations and put them on YouTube and have gotten over 100,000 views on them combined. That's really saying something right now about where my animations should be going as of now. I am not saying I'm leaving Newgrounds at all, because I have some news for that which will let you all know i'm here to stay.

So that's the video which sparked my YouTube career. I know i'm riding the coattails of something successful, but it's really shown the people what I can do, and they've liked/loved it. This has made me want to grow my talent even more, but such a thought has boggled my mind now. To now work at something as if it were my job now is kind of mind-boggling, and puts me in a nervous state. I now have fans to appeal to, and if I don't make work worth watching to others, supposed to just me wanting to make something for myself, I will indeed lose the fans I've made. It's nice having fans, so I guess i've stepped foot into new territory were my ass is on the line if my content isn't "good enough." I'm already being compared to Egoraptor whether or not my content is better than his for Game Grumps, a new channel that him and JonTron have made recently. So far, lots of people like me, but from what I'm getting, most prefer Egoraptor, which is no surprise.

To know i'm being compared to such a talented person is such an honor. It does make me want to grow as an animator. But now i've recently been watching all these things dealing with Edmund McMillen (Guy who made Super Meat Boy and The Binding of Isaac), and I've become so infatuated with the idea of being a game developer. This is the part where I explain my stay on Newgrounds. Newgrounds is the only place I know where I can get help from other users and submit Flash Games. I know theres other places, but I trust Newgrounds too much to turn my back on it. So yes, I'm going to try making a Flash Game or two, and they'll be as original as possible. I will not promise anything super original, but at least I can try to go for something playable and enjoyable. They'll be quite simple games, and shouldn't take long at all.

Now, all this wanting to improve my animation and wanting to be a gave developer must put me into a state of confusion, and it does. But I figure combining the two will form something great for me. Now another thing might come up to you as well. WHERE THE FUCK IS NO-BRAINER 5?? Sadly enough, sitting in my Flash Folder not being worked on. No-Brainer has just been so off my mind lately. I guess this must be the part i'm going through were some of my first projects just start to seem meaningless and un-interesting..not saying anything officially yet, but I think No-Brainer (The flash series itself) is dying. It just seems to me that those were starting grounds, to get some background knowledge of Flash, and try to do stuff with it. No-Brainer, being one of my characters put on the shelf after doing something with another project at age 13, I just decided to use him one day. Now it's 5 years later and I've grown accustomed to No-Brainer and the gang, but I just don't want to make a huge series out of him anymore. I would explain what's happening with him a bit more, but even I don't understand at the moment.

I'm sorry if this has been a long read, but I like to post these blogs to help me understand what's going on with my stuff, and to help you understand too.

To recap what you just read, I'm going to make some Flash Games (or try anyway), I may be sticking to YouTube to post my animations, and No-Brainer 5 may be the last No-Brainer episode ever. Oh, also the Xbox Indie Game was cancelled, DIDJA SEE THAT ONE COMING? I SURE AS HELL DID.
