Listen guys. This isn't some Newgrounds gay joke, I'm being completely serious about this, and I want you to take me serious for a moment please. This is very important and most of all hard for me to do... I'm gay, a faggot, homo, whatever you want to call it. I'm gay and i've known it since i was like 5. I grew up in a pretty strict catholic environment and eventually came out at age 16 to my family [which didn't go well]. No I'm not Catholic I'm Atheist. Point is I hate myself for it. I absolutely hate the living core of myself for it. For many reasons.

One, I hate being labeled. I hate being labeled with the reputation that gays have developed for themselves.

Two, growing up all through my childhood I've always heard nothing but negative things about homosexuality, most of this being bullshit, i know. But that stuff still is engraved in my head and still goes through my mind whenever I love someone. Therefore, I have trouble accepting the fact that I love someone.

Three, I am not flamboyant, and do not prefer flamboyant and/or very female-like gays. I'm just a dude that likes dudes who also happen to like dudes... if that makes any sense.

Four, I have no self confidence. Gays have lots of that. I might seem like am self confident. But all I do is hide my lack of it with silliness.

[There are more reasons, but prefer not going through them.]

I had to say this because starting from today, I plan on actually getting over the fact that my bullshit insecurity about my sexuality has taken over me, and I am oh so fucking sick of it. I need to grow up and go on. One thing I want to make clear is that there is a difference between a homosexual, and a pervert, and I am not a pervert. If you catch me pulling any gay sounding comments, or any sexually themed topics. Do not consider that I might be coming on to you because you are a man. Gays don't like you cause you're a guy, they just like men. Besides, the sexually related comments, art, animation and such that I make public of are always intentioned to be taken as sarcasm [except for this news post of course]. So if you have a problem with me and my genetic glitch, you have 3 possible answers:

A: Go fuck yourself you stupid cunt.
B: I'm sorry.
C: Oh well.

Take your pic.

p.s. let me emphasis on this. dick jokes and gay jokes make me lol. Nothing there has changed.

I think that Newgrounds should take advantage of the fact that it's logo is a tank , the color scheme is yellow and black, and the coined phrase is 'everything by everyone' and adopt the old Propaganda poster style for their posters/banners/ads/ and basic design. I made this because i've always wanted to see something like this. I think i'll start a series of these things.

I lol'ed

I actually got down and started playing the madness scene editor on the front page and made the image below.

In the year 1999 Hans Van Harken purchased one of his most beloved games of all time:

JET FORCE GEMINI

and today, exactly 9 years later, he has finally beaten the fucking game. And now, I can safely say

"fuck those tribals suck. but once you beat it, it is the most satisfying thing in the galaxy"

so yeah. i fucking beat the game. took me 9 years.

let's celebrate:

Okay, so i'm planning on adding a section onto my website where i will list a bunch of stuff i've helped in any way make, either voice, visual, or whatever. I'm trying to find all the movie and games and stuff or whatever i've helped on. By my memory sucks, spread the word and let me know anything i've missed so far. please provide me with a link in the comments of the stuff you might know i helped on. or pm me. etc.
