If anyone is at all interested in how I'm doing then I'll share with you how I'm doing. As of now I have kept three different people from committing suicide here on Newgrounds.com by talking them and helping them solve their problems.

Some of you out there don't even try and help others with suicidal issues and you just make it worse on them. Yes I know of suicidial thoughts, because I almost committed suicide at one point in my life.

However one thing I'm having trouble with is my well... this explains it better.
I still don't know what to do. Risking a friendship is hard for me to do, but being alone is another thing as well.

Happier news... I am now on YouTube as a game reviewer. I've already reviewed the The Impossible Quiz. I never completed the game though... I gave up on it.

Also in better news... my comedy group will hopefully be shown on YouTube within the future. We will be performing a "web sitcom" called Joe's Apartment. I guarantee you will not be disappointed by our show. I will be the writer and the lead actor (trust me I don't want to be the lead actor).

That's about it for me, I'm about to start on my next literary work soon so you may not see me around here for a while.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
:D

Hello all of Newgrounds. If you read my previous thread then I apologize for it being so sloppy. I thought I would give better detail here. First off... I will review and flash game you wish for me to review on Newgrounds or a different site. But I will require the following rules.

1. NO MATURE or ADULT rated games
Since I do not own YouTube I have no right to upload anything with excessive violence, nudity, or adult themes.

2. NO SCREAMERS
I'm not doing this just so you can send me a 3 minute piece of work that does nothing but scream. If your game is a screamer I will not upload the video.

3. SUPER MARIO WORLD
I will do your Super Mario World ROM if you're interested, but make sure you contact me through my YouTube Account for better information... Super Mario World reviews will only be on YouTube... and in Newgrounds News Posts.

Now then you do have a choice... in where you want my review video to be. I can either put it here on Newgrounds or on YouTube. It's your choice... you have to tell me before I make the video though so I can setup proper recording.

Now then you're probably wondering if the quality of my recordings will be good... I can answer that question for you... yes the quality in all of my recordings will meet anybody's criteria. If you don't believe me take a look at the following series I've decided to start with.

So if you have a flash game then send it to me today and I'll get right to it.

Newgrounds Viewers! I have returned from the land of YouTube! I bring to you my findings... things I couldn't believe I would ever ever see! Programs, files, and people I never even knew! A whole entire community beyond the dark walls of these perverted minds. I've seen wonders, bullshit, and creativity beyond anything I'd ever expect to see!

First off let me tell you I decided to leave Newgrounds and revive my YouTube account that I hardly ever used I started collecting some of my favorite videos and I stumbled across a little gem called Super Kaizo World, it was a playthrough from ProtonJonSA of Something Awful Forums.

What this was was Super Mario World, but edited... but how? It was made with a program called Lunar Magic. All you needed was Lunar Magic and a Super Mario World ROM and you could make your own Super Mario World Games, Levels, Everything!

For a nice little example, here is AzureBlade49 playing through one of these ROM Hacks, with the levels changed and the overworld map changed as well...

Now some of these levels looked a little bad, there main points were to be as asshole as can be. So I thought if the Assholes could make all of these then why couldn't a professional idiot do the same thing?

SO... I found Lunar Magic and a Super Mario World ROM, I made my very own Mario game, and sent it off to someone who was willing to give it a try, I bring to you now Part 1-5 is now available WITH commentary, not by ME!

It's time I took inventory of my best stats, I'll start off with flash and continue my way forward. Now then let's get started.

I'm just in awe about this song. I never thought that a song like this would be my 300th audio review. I'm speechless to give words at all. Thank you for creating such a song, you've brought back so many memories.

As you can see above when I reach certain points I will be cease to continue. This being said these are the accomplishments I want to make on Newgrounds.com. I have a feeling that I will do all of these within my life span. When I reach all of these points then I will make my final notice through BBS Post 100,000 bidding you all farewell. After I reach all these points I shall leave Newgrounds... I won't leave forever, I may return now and then to update those who actually care about me on how I'm doing, who knows I may be running this website one day.

Now then with that being said, I have a favor to ask all users. Send me your flash animations, your audio submissions, your favorite BBS posts... I wish to review and post to build as much as possible onto this website and to help keep it from the dust that it may become.

This is a basic scale in which you will see in my flash reviewing. If you want me to review one of your flash submissions then kindly leave me a comment here with the URL to your flash or send me a PM. If you have a game for me to review then it may take longer for me to review your game. I do not review spam flashes.

I will always label flash submissions on the Good Points, Bad Points Scale. I'll basically tell you what was good about your flash and what was bad about it. Sometimes I'll give you a 50/50 Point Scale in which I tell you what was both good and bad. Within these scales I will grade on the following...

Artwork - This can vary depending on what your flash was supposed to be about. If you saw any sprite movies where I gave credit to artwork then you should be happy to know I will be giving credit to the rightful artist. If you use someone else's art then I will disable your Artwork Points.

Animation - This will not vary no matter what the flash is. If your animation looks lazy I will notify you on that. You can slack on animation no matter what it is. However I try to slack on motion-tweening, so don't be alarmed, just don't constantly use motion-tweening.

Sound - This is an overall scoring of audio/song as well as sound effects and voice acting if there is any. An added note is when the flash ends if your song keeps looping if you replay it.

Emotions - This can be labeled under sorrow, funny, scary/creepy, fun, interactive, and etc. I will label this as part of your overall score if needed be.

Story - This is the most crucial part of all. Even if you have a flash game I would expect maybe just a small story to go along with it. If you have a terrible story then your whole entire flash just falls apart. If your flash is just a random flash or a collab then I will disable the story points.

Miscellanous - This is anything else I would want to add, you have no idea what could go here and neither will I until I review your flash.

Now then with all that above I will rank you on those above so you must be prepared for it. Now then for those who are confused about the way my ranking goes I'll give you numbers with it as well... However the numbers I give you for these rankings are only here for easier understanding, they have nothing to do with my overall score.

[ 10 ] Masterful - I hardly give out any of these. So if you like a challenge then try to make a flash that aquires at least one of these. If you do then you truly are worthy in my eyes.

[ 9 - 8 ] Superb - I have given out a small portion of these and I need to stop giving these out like I'm giving out a hand out so I've bumped up the level. These can be easy to get if you know your stuff.

[ 7 - 6 ] Great - I must admit that I am generous when saying something is great, I don't know why. Well these too are easy to come by mainly depending on your artwork and sound, more sound than anything else.

[ 5 ] Good - I use the word Good to make you feel better, the correct word would be average. I'm so sorry, but the truth does hurt. You don't want this, but it's not bad to get these either.

[ 4 - 3 ] Okay - Well it means I believe it is good enough to pass the portal at a low score so you'll know what is wrong with your flash and that way you can improve it.

[ 2 - 1 ] Bad - You do not want this. This is the worst thing you could ever get and it means your flash was just bad and could use a lot of work that I will kindly point out.

[ 0 ] Terrible - This is rarely used and for good reason, if I reviewed spam flashes you would see a lot of these, but I don't review spam flashes. However any other regular flash then yeah I will use this if I needed to.

That's it. If you're ready for a true critique then just PM me or comment on this News Post with the URL or Link to your flash.

HAVE A NICE DAY!
