If you've been banned from Youtube and/or had your videos removed from there I found one alternative:
veoh.com
Here's some good reasons many would find it better than YT:
1. Bigger aspect ratio.
2. Bigger upload cap/time length.
3. Not subject to copyright scrutiny.
4. A bit more lenient on nudity.

Why else would he take out Sephiroth, say "Mozilla Firefox sucks", trash Random Videogame Mishaps cartoons, and mock the Hunchback of Notre Dame in a wacky way if it weren't for this. Sure there's Evil Dave, Dean Packis, and Ray Pinot; but, this site hasn't heard from ED9K and Ray in a long time and Packis aims for shock value. It takes balls (and a good ammount of thought) to make good satire without being contrived or biased; and he just does that.
2. He isn't a one joke loser.
Unlike certain other popular flash artists who fit the mold of "Here today, Gone tomorrow" (Example: Legendary Frog); Baron von Brunk doesn't stick with the same shit as the previous toon he made. He's proof that you don't need to rely on the same joke in a different cartoon.
3. Willing to Experiment.
It helps to experiment with original ideas from time to time, and one would have to look no further than Yes! It Doesn't to see what I mean.
Conclusion: Those are my reasons for why I like Baron von Brunk's cartoons, and I can't see why the rest of his fanbase disliked Quasimodo's Quasi Advice.

1: Ian James Corlett: He's friggin' Mega Man for fuck's sake, and no one can top his take ever since. Not to mention he was also Cheetor in Beast Wars and Beast Machines.
2: Jessica Calvello: Most of you don't know this woman. She was Yuri in Dirty Pair, Cutie Honey, and Mink from Dragon Half.
3: Richard Newman: For Being Rhinox in BW/BM and Pyron in Darkstalkers. (Why wasn't this mentioned in Wikipedia?)
4: Paul Eiding: For playing the part of the scientist in 80s and 90s action cartoons.
5: Corey Burton: He was several Transformers such as Shockwave and Sunstreaker.
6: Walker Edmiston: It sucks that he died last year, but he was another one of my favorites.
7: Pam Lauer: She was Kei in Dirty Pair, so what else I can say?
8: Ed Gilbert: Before his death in 1999 from Lung Cancer, he was Blitzwing & Thrust in The Transformers.
9: Scott McNeil: He may be known for Rattrap, Dinobot, 90s Silverbolt, and Waspinator in Beast Wars. However, he was also Dr. Wily, Protoman, Rikuo, Demitri Maximoff, and Lord Raptor.
10: Brian Drummond: "I'm Sorry, Victims cannot make a bid!"

While it's true that most of his cartoons are poorly drawn, but at least they get a point across. (Unlike certain satire cartoons that miss the point.) However, he can draw a lot better than the awesome cartoons he did (it's a good thing he quit; otherwise they'd end up on the next AFD episode). And believe me, I've seen his art on his website. As a voice actor, he's almost a match for Ren & Stimpy's Billy West and Frank Welker; but I'm starting to get tired of him in every other flash I see (along with Omahdon, Tomamoto, & Kagome/Rina-chan). When it comes to his jokes however, he ends up using those that have been done to death, but it isn't his fault really. (You have MTV to blame for that) Kirbopher, on the other hand, had no excuse (his latest flash wasn't funny except for the Mega Man & F-Zero shorts).
Now, I turn to RTil:
I agree with his unyielding passion for animation; and I thought "Move Your Feet" was much better than many of the top 50 Flash movies. Sure he isn't much of a voice actor, and yes, he tends to rant a lot; but damn, his stuff deserves a few major awards. Besides, a lot of the people who criticize him are in "glass houses" as Penn & Teller put it. Now if only he got his shift key fixed...
Update: I saw Metropolis circuit and Flash Comedy Extravaganza, and I'd have to say that they blow Nin10Doh! and Brawl Taunts out of the water and into the shithouse. It looks like Adam Philips(Bitey) and Dave Lovelace(RAB) have a competitor to deal with who can also act (and write) better than Tomamoto and Rina. *Evil Smirk*
The truth is that I like these two guys; and I hate to see two talented artists go after each other's throats. And now, I must continue working on my cartoons. Update: As for Kirbopher; I think he's a really talented animator and Voice actor, but I'd wish he would quit using YTMND and 4Chan Memes as joke material.

American Action cartoons are sorely needed these days.
Posted by FightingSeraph Apr. 6, 2008 @ 5:32 PM EDTI'm talking about darker stuff like Aeon Flux, Dungeons & Dragons, Sledge Hammer, and (to a lesser extent) C.O.P.S. Even though Adult Swim was created for this; most of its limited resources go to comedy (and this is coming from someone who loves Robot Chicken). We don't need anymore family-friendly stuff right now; and we don't need anymore episodes of The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park, or Futurama (as much as I like Matt Groening, Dan Castellaneta, Billy West, John DiMaggio, Hank Azaria, Phil LaMarr, Alex Borstein, and Seth McFarlane; sometimes enough is enough). Of course, there's the new Justice League move that got released; but that isn't enough. Now if Peter Chung had the balls, budget, and time to make something new...

1. Too much 3d and Particle effects.
Seriously, no one watches these kinds of cartoons for special effects. That's what the X-box 360 is for (and this is coming from a Wii owner). I'm all for the use of 3D effects in 2D cartoons when they're used sparingly, but they use them too damned much.
2. Same shit, different current event.
This is why the first three seasons of the show are better than the latest ones. The stories were simplistic and the show just relied on profanity and Kenny getting killed almost all the time. Nowadays, they take any current event and go over the top with it to the point where completely misses the point.
3. Piss-poor jokes.
I'm getting sick of movie references and sight gags as a form of humor. Is it really necissary to spoof indie and mainstream movies every scene? Don't get me started on their sight gags; they're an insult to Tex Avery and Chuck Jones.
Truth is, I respect Trey Parker and Matt Stone as filmmakers; but it's best that they stick to the big screen.

1. Thunder Force: The Thunder Force series started on Sharp and NEC's PCs in 1983 as a Xevious-meets-Vanguard II game. Due to the fact that Technosoft had no experience with NES or SMS hardware; It was never ported to either one of those systems. This was corrected with TFII for the Sharp X68000 and the Sega Genesis. The Link has more info than I can write.

2. Darius: Not many people know about this, but just look for "Darius (Arcade Game)" on wikipedia if you want to know.
Intellectually dishonest assholes: Newgrounds Edition!
Posted by FightingSeraph Feb. 12, 2008 @ 6:17 PM ESTI've decided to take a little column that almost no one read and bring it here.
First target: Hugo Chavez
The man claimed he wanted to end corruption in Venezuela. Did he live up to his end of the deal? Nope. Instead of making things better; he made things worse by getting government involved in things that government shouldn't be in the first place (oil, schools, healthcare, etc.). If that isn't bad enough, the man appointed his friends and supporters into the Caracas government. So much, in fact, that at least 56 percent of Venezuelans either dislike or outright hate him. What's even worse is that Venezuela is one of the least economically free nations in the western hemisphere. If you don't know what that means, here is an explanation: It's harder to do business in Venezuela than it is in Louisiana. Throw in the fact that the man is fucking paranoid out the wazoo. Not even that asshole radio host Clyde Lewis could match Chavez in the paranoia department.
I have done something that should spruce up my animations: an intro. Too bad I don't have it uploaded on here yet.
