First of all, let me say I'm still as active as I was before on Newgrounds, but I find that there's not much to do here in terms of the community. The forums may or may not be as active as before but I don't post as much as I used to do (read: spam) and the chat's pretty much out of the equation as, well, it was destined to die eventually. There are now only 7 users or so on the chat and I'm running out of things to do. Most of the time I just go on dilbert.com or something similar.
Flash? What is this "Flash" you talk about? Anyhow, on a more serious note, I just feel bored. I'm making a small animation in flash now but even when I don't have anything much to do I ignore Flash. Anyhow, expect for it to come out sooner or later. My bet being placed mostly on "later", if "later" means "pretty much never, or when the sun swells up and swallows the earth".
Oh, and I made a small vehicle simulator. I'd probably continue that project but for now it's just an ATV simulator and I don't really know what to do about it; tell me what to add or remove about it. If enough people ask (that is, if there are any people around here who actually spend time commenting on this news post; at the current rate at which I get comments [around 3 maximum, so 1 comment should be enough]) about something then I may consider adding it. (It's currently called "Generic ATV" in the title and possibly something else in the main menu and succeeding menus; just ignore that, okay?)
Here's a link to it. I'll keep you guys updated if there are at least 5 comments from each unique user.
Scratch that; 5 people have commented, and so I'll be updating this newspost...sometimes :p
So far I've put the vehicle simulator on hold since I'm currently experimenting with bitmapData and I've got the hang of it...a little. I'm still having problems with setPixel() in that it's not cooperating for some reason, and I don't see any obvious reason since everything looks A-OK to me. Anyhow, I'm making a "shovelware atv game" in my free time and I hope to upload it on Newgrounds after a while. Screen-dumps will be posted...below! There's going to be 24 levels for that, and I'm *hoping* to create a (separate) level editor which I think I'll also be uploading on NG after a while, at least...since I'm still experimenting with bitmapData and the problem I had isn't letting me progress since I'm fairly new to this.
Anyhow, enjoy the screen for now! :3

The unofficial non-canon sequel to Truth of Osama 1 has been released. It's based on what happens after Osama has died and transforms into Osama-Soup. Go take a look at Truth of Osama 1 and then watch Truth of Osama 2. You'll slowly begin to understand what happened and just when you get the gist of it, BAM! You get a feeling of Deja Vu in your face.
Go on, I dare you to.
Then watch
Here's a screenie from Truth of Osama 2 along with the context menu:

Give the game out a try. Made by LegoDude2000, I beta tested this game while, well...in its beta stages :p
It's a bit short and easy. Should be pretty easy if you're not using a touchpad (even so, it's still easy...ish) and there are even medals! Around 80 or more points' worth of medals. Go get 'em, tiger!

As part of Osama Day in the Soup Squad, I'm going to make an animation based off of "Truth Of Osama" -- rather, the unofficial sequel to it. If you haven't already, watch it. This sequel involves Osama returning and getting revenge on Taco, but things go awry in the process...here's a screenie for now. Expect to see this flash in 5 days.

I'm also pleased to announce that I'll be making another flash for the Soup Squad, called "Crouton's Adventure" (name pending). It deals with Crouton (aka me) going to the Soup Squad HQ to make a flash or get fired. It'll feature tons and tons of conversations, mostly through the fourth wall, some humor here and there, and medals!
Here's some gameplay art for now:

For my school project, I volunteered to make a game in flash. And what can I say, so far it's buggy (what can be expected in 72 hours?) but it's not that bad here. I expect to UL it on the portal when I give it a coat of polish and fix all the bugs. For the time being, here's a screenie.

Continuing from the previous comic, Crouton (aka me) and Canned (aka Narcissy) go back inside the Sanctuary, but then Crouton is in for a shock when he finds out the actual truth about Canned and his "cured" Soupanus...
The current story arc, "Soupanus" started with this comic.

Continuing from the previous comic, Canned (aka Narcissy) tells Crouton (aka me) about how he got cured of Soupanus and proceeds to tell him where to go. However, he does not remember the exact location and giving an approximate location, he and Crouton then proceed to scout the area as Canned was sure one of the landmarks was "within a radius of 200 miles around their house". However, lack of visibility due to a thick fog has dampened their spirits and so have to continue the day after instead.

Continuing from the previous comic, Crouton (aka me) is furious with Canned (aka Narcissy) about why he transferred the Soupanus he had, without even warning him. Canned then offers a probable solution to the Soupanus Crouton had been infected with.
