Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

First off, "Shorts To Wear Pants To" a collaboration lead by squeaky toad that i took part in has just been finished, you can watch it by clicking this word.

For those of you fans who are waiting for the next 3 parts following the series. I have good news. You don't have to wait so long for each of the 3 following parts because there will only be one more following part!

Yes, I'm cutting down the series. This may seem bad, but in reality what I'm doing is cutting it down to the core of the better material. I really thought the movie could use a good "chizzling". I for one, am not up for working on 20 minutes of Halo. But mainly, I'm dropping doing video game parodies, IAHT 2/2 and my part for TSAH3 are my last parodies. I have way too many of my own ideas i want to put in action. I had my share, did my own parodies, and i am more than satisfied, in short, I've had enough.

I know that this is going to be very saddening for many fans or people awaiting for a full-blown 20 minutes of halo fun. But take it as a positive, because instead of having 20 minutes of a few scattered laughs it'll be something like 8-10 minutes of basically only laughs!

Also, thank Squeaky Toad, who helped a lot on IAHT 1/2 on animating, who encouraged me and to actually make a 2nd and final establishment for the movie. I originally was just going to completely shut down. But he helped me realize it's never any good to just drop something where it stands and at least leave a closure to a project.

Finally, I hope that everyone understands me and doesn't get too pissed. Because I will blow peoples minds with the stuff i've got cooking for ending my parodies.... but especially, my own work.

With much love, and loads of...every thing.

Parodies aren't inherently bad, but Newgrounds has made them quite an unpleasant thing.
So cutting this down to one final installment, so you can finish up your work (leaving a project undone leads to developing a habit of doing the same with other projects- I know from personal experience), then no more, is probably the best decision.

Of course, future parodies done purely for one's own enjoyment shouldn't just be passed off. They're a good source of entertainment when time and effort are put into them.

Looking forward to seeing the stuff you've got cooking up.

Guys, I've gotten some sneak peaks, and it's pretty neat. Keep an eye out on this man's upcoming creations.

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:37 AM AlmightyHans responds:

really Squeak... thanks so much. You're ultra cool.

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:36 AM MRat says:

Balls and the cock and the Chief of the MASTER oh boy.

Anyway I hate Halo, so the only jokes I find funny in these are the ones that don't rely on the game. I just don't find parody funny either most of the time.

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:45 AM AlmightyHans responds:

agreed. my TSAH3 script actually only has like... 2 jokes observing aspects of the game. but i really wanted o have each joke just stand on it's own. And that's what i'm planning on having more in IAHT 2/2

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:54 AM AlmightyHans responds:

nice price!

They look quite enthusiastic about the end of the series in the picture. And what's the green(er) one waving at?

Maybe the Olive colored one is a child molester and the Forest green one is waving to an enemy sniper trying to get him to shoot the olive one dead. I mean, just because they are holding hands in a rainbow covered flower meadow doesn't mean they are gay. Never assume... Never...

NEVER.
Okay, I'm done. I was a big fan of TSAH, but I've never heard of IAHT. I'll have to watch it sometime.

Mar. 5, 2008 | 7:20 AM BasV says:

Yes! It's time for great stuff from you! IAHT was great, don't get me wrong, but it's not yours, you know. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

You rule anyway. Nice flash Hans.

lol@picture XD
As much as I like your Videogame Parodies... I'm glad to see that you're moving onto original ideas/characters. Always found your original creations more visionary and amusing.
Still looking forward to this sequel though :)

I'll be getting a Mac soon and hoping to get back into animation (once these 5 projects that I gotta do for College are in). For my Final Major Project I'm hoping to do an animation to get me started.

Just thought I'd let you know :)
I might be going to Comic Con this year btw, if you're there ;)

Peace bro ~

Mar. 5, 2008 | 5:17 PM AlmightyHans responds:

yup, i'm going!

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:14 PM Joowna says:

Yay Halo :)

btw, I like your flashes, the pants thing was amazing ^^

but my question is: You have a Dutch name, but I think you live in USA?

Nederlands hmm?

what about it?

Mar. 5, 2008 | 5:19 PM AlmightyHans responds:

I'm not dutch... if you look at my profile you can see what it was made for... to show people these kind of facts about me. Top left, under my picture it says: Bay Area California. Also if i were dutch, don't people think i would have some kind of a slight accent when i voice act all my cartoons?

Mar. 5, 2008 | 3:22 PM MRat says:

HANS ISN'T EVEN DUTCH IT'S A LIE!

Mar. 5, 2008 | 5:20 PM AlmightyHans responds:

yeah, i'm actually like Jewish German/Italian or something. My grandfather was adopted by Dutch so he changed his name from Walter Kruger to Donald Van Harken. Yup, i my technically "real" last name is Kruger. werid, ey? :S

Mar. 5, 2008 | 5:39 PM PeiMei says:

The style in your Renegade Muffin was awesome. Hope to see more.

Mar. 6, 2008 | 4:06 PM AlmightyHans responds:

yeah me too. i'm really proud of that peice. I personally consider it among my best animation work yet.

You better quickly submit part 2 IAHT... or bad things will happen 0_o

Mar. 8, 2008 | 6:09 PM AlmightyHans responds:

if i submit IAHT 2/2 quick it will be shit quality. and i don't want bad things to happen just because i rushed it. it's a finale to my parodies, it HAS to be good. how dare you even consider rushing something like this.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 1:56 PM Tom200 says:

So when exactly is IAHT 2/2 coming out? Not in a direct date, but like an estimate guess on it?

Mar. 8, 2008 | 6:09 PM AlmightyHans responds:

probably some time this year.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 6:19 PM Blain-The-Pain says:

Unrelated to the topic of this news post, but great job in the Shorts to Wear Pants To Collab! It was definitely my favorite part; the art and animation was just so smooth!

Mar. 10, 2008 | 7:48 AM AlmightyHans responds:

why thank you! and yes, i'm a mega, uber smooth freak. it's kinda my goal in most of my animations to capture a smooth slick or clean style.

Mar. 8, 2008 | 11:11 PM DAMOLITION says:

Is there a reason that you have delayed its a halo thing for so long? you have said yourself that it is finished.

Mar. 10, 2008 | 7:48 AM AlmightyHans responds:

the audio is. and its been delayed because i haven't wanted to work on it. i have other stuff i'd like to cover first. that's why i want to only make one more. to only use the best of the script and finally conclude it so i can carry on with my own things.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 1:13 PM PinballWizard976 says:

Oh. Cool and stuff.

Mar. 9, 2008 | 4:10 PM MatthiasOblivion says:

WHY?

BECAUSE.
