FightingSeraph's News

Posted by FightingSeraph - February 1st, 2009


Here's the original:
http://fightingseraph.newgrounds.com/n ews/post/225598

1. Titanic: Ugh, this was boring as hell, yet it still gets rave reviews. I'll take The Abyss over Titanic anyday.

2. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2007): Even though the animation was excellent, but I think it would've been better off without the celeb actors or the Futurama gama. I can credit the people behind this for getting Mako from Conan the Destroyer as Splinter.

3. Blade (all three of them): I never liked this series and found them to be pretty damned uninteresting. I'll take Spawn over these.

4. Spider-Man 2: A lot of people didn't like part 3 for various reasons, but I thought this one was a disappointment over the first one.

5. Casino Royale: What's with the hype? This Bond flick has been blown out of proportion, and is one of the reasons why I steer clear of any 007 flick made after The World Is Not Enough.

6. Airplane!: Even though Iike The Naked Gun movies and Spy Hard, this doesn't hold a candle when compared to those or Airplane II: The Sequel!

7. Liar Liar: To be honest, I actually enjoyed watching this. However, I thought Jim Carrey's other stuff was better than this.

8. Scary Movie 2: Even though I prefer this over anything made after this, I'm including this for the same reasons as Epic Movie. Plus, David Cross, one of the actors from Arrested Development, played the crippled researcher in this one.

9. Napoleon Dynamite: For the same reason as many of the other movies on this list: very, very dull.

10. The Matrix Revolutions: A weak conclusion to two movies I liked.

I'm a newshound and you can give me the benefit of a doubt, but since Facebook is not Opera-friendly; I'm posting my news links here.

Obama's enviromental hypocrisy-I can credit him for shutting down that Guantanamo Bay camp, but that doesn't change the fact that Obama is a clueless dipshit.

Politics and science Don't Mix-Mixing biased political beliefs with scientific research is anti-science all in itself.

Junkfood Science: What do Healthy eating and Lifestyles have in common with woo?-Woo woo is slang for questionable beliefs and the assholes that perpetuate them.

How Enviromentalists are getting away with GMO deceit-This is why Patrick Moore left GreenPeace.

Hawaii Free Press: Organic food tied to roundworm contamination-I have no comments for this one.

Metroid 2: Return of Samus remake

Government-run healthcare discriminates against the handicapped.-I loooove anything that will make free healthcare supporters shit their pants when they see someone tearing apart their gris-gris.

Plus, a rant that isn't from Foamy or Maddox:

Even though I would like to see more hand animated flash cartoons here; I won't discourage anyone who use tweened animation (as in lots of rotation and scaling). Unlike certain cartoonists, I take effort into consideration when it comes to rating cartoons here, whether it is some tried-and-true tweened cartoon by LegendaryFrog or a hand animated spectacle by Adam Phillips. For a site like this, animation quality does not matter most of the time. That is what the other aspects of the cartoon come in. I have a few example comparisons that prove this viewpoint:
1. Kirbopher's $00pah Nin10doh! had excellent animation that was brought down by its jokes, which were old, repetitive, and weren't meant for such professional animation*. On the other hand, Rats on Cocaine by Dean Packis had graphics that reminded me of the early flash portal (1999-2001), but most of the episodes are really funny (ep. 10 is a laugh riot).
2. McFretN's cartoons and games are still enjoyable even though they're past their prime; whereas Ebolaworld has only one or two cartoons that are enjoyable to an extent regardless of the art and animation quality.
I could compare and contrast more cartoonists here, but I'm not in the mood to do so. One thing that I'm sick of are flash cartoonists who use current events as their plots. Like the randomly placed gags of Family Guy, using current events for plotlines is becoming an excuse for writers to be lazy and uncreative these days. Look, it worked for the Simpsons until that show's writers decided to counter Seth McFarlane's attempt at doing something similar. It worked for South Park until 2002; that's when Trey Parker and Matt Stone went overboard. Hell, it worked for Y.A.A.F.M. even though The_Walrus pissed off a lot of people for going after Michael Moore and Muslims. Just because satire worked for the aforementioned to an extent doesn't mean that others should follow in their footsteps. I'm also sick of people who can draw and animate, but have no real talent when it comes to comedy, storytelling, etc. To those I say "Instead of trashing instant frontpage cartoonists, why not try learning how make yours better?"
*=I have nothing against Kirbopher, but I didn't find $00pah! Nin10doh! funny.

The case for sweatshops

More random facts:

Robert Belgrade did the voice of the space captain in Star Ocean (the Super NES version).

Marijuana use in Alaska is lower than that of the lower 48 states.

The Dalai Lama was visited by Adolf Hitler during the 1930s (this is why the Nazis got the swastika). If you thought that was upsetting, the Lama class of monks were living in luxury while the rest of the Tibetans were subject to things much worse than what Mao Zedong did.

Sexual Intercourse increases public speaking skills.

Most technology that is used today was invented during war.

Four of the VAs in the original Transformers show also did voices for Challenge of the Go-Bots.

Anime has existed since 1924.

Most inner-city crime is a by-product of the War on Drugs and the War on Poverty.

Einhänder had only three voice actors (Cara Jones, Duncan McCintire, and Hans-Heining Judek).

Obesity has more to do with genetics than eating habits and/or physical activity.

At least ten out of twelve polar bear populations are either stable or increasing.

Vegetarian eating is far worse for one's health than a balanced diet.

Free-range chickens are more disease-prone than caged chickens and are more likely to be eaten by preadators.

Before Pokémon, Veronica Taylor did the voice of the kid in the 80s tv show Photon.

Carbon Dioxide is NOT a pollutant, but essential to plants because that is what they breathe.

First, Rubberninja announced Egoraptor's birthday. Then, came Bug's b-day, which was on the same day as one of my friends' b-day. That was followed by The-Titan a day or two after that. Now, today is my birthday, which makes me 24 now. I've been procrastinating a lot, but I would like to actually get a few flash cartoons completed. That is including a voice demo soundboard that definitely needs my attention (as soon as I finish reading The Watchmen).

Update: The Nazis supported an abortion ban

Zelda Classic
Note: Create your own version of Zelda with this neat program.
Left to die: a good reason against government run hospitals.
Note: I love making proponents of so-called universal health care shit their pants when they see stuff like this.
Fat people denied the right to adopt just because they're fat.
Note: Body Mass Index = poor indicator of overall health.
My Facebook page
Note: I normally hate these kinds of websites, but ZombiePimp invited me.

1. Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth (2000)
Even though I liked Scary Movie, this one was pretty damned funny and hard to find on DVD. If you hated Scary Movie, you may like this; then again, you may not.

2. Ark (2004 cgi film)
Screw Wall-E; shit on Shrek the Third; this is one film that is worth people's time here. It's about two friends who find a really badass looking robot and that is all I remember. Plus, this was done by the same people who did Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

3. Heavy Traffic (1973)
Here's one Ralph Bakshi movie that mixes animation with live footage. This is about an animator living life, trying to tolerate his parents as much as he can, etc.

4. Goku: Midnight Eye (1994-1996 Masamune Shirow anime)
I didn't like Ghost in the Shell, but this I actually enjoy. Plus, I'd recommend this over GitS any day.

5. Twisted City (1992 anime)
Another one of my favorite anime that got cast aside for Cowboy Bebop and Princess Mononoke. Not recommended for those who are rather touchy or hate anime (this involves tentacle rape).

6. Jack Frost 2: Revenge of the Killer Mutant Snowman (2002)
Chances are that you never heard of this, but in that case; read the I-Mockery article on this b-grade fun-fest.

7. Love & Sin (1987)
Here's a wacky comedy flick that takes place during the Salem Witch trials involving a young couple, a clueless pastor, a bitchy old woman, a mayor who married his own cousin, and a corset-clad witch (played by Barbara Radecki). It may have sex-related sight gags, but this is one of the better indie films I've seen.


Posted by FightingSeraph - January 8th, 2009


1. Cowboy Bebop: The more I hear about how great it is, the more it pisses me off. Keep in mind that it isn't that original. (Seeing that Faye and Edward (who is a girl I might add) are based on Kei and Yuri; and it also has various other aspects from Dirty Pair.) The only reason this became popular that I can think of is the dubbing.

2. Obesity hype: I'm a skinny person myself, but I have friends who are fat. The truth is that Obesity has more to do with genetics than nutrition or physical activity. It bewilders me that smart people can be tricked/lulled into believing Really stupid things.

3. Obama supporters: I've already commented on them, but this deserves another mention. Just why is it that these people get offended when somebody criticizes his domestic and foreign policies? The vast majority of Obama critics aren't even racist, yet they get lumped with Nazis just for speaking their mind. Look, I disagree with Obama's policies, but I also disagree with right-wing radio hosts as well. Obama and every other president are not objects of worship and it's time people realized that.

4. Sports simulators (example: EA's Madden NFL series): I usually steer clear of these because it's just the same game with various upgrades. Hell, the same could be said of SNK, who takes the same fighting game engine and makes a few tweaks here and there. At least the Mario sports games have actual replay longevity.

5. The Daily Show: Even though I like Jon Stewart as an actor (he was in Big Daddy and Death to Smoochy); as a comedian he's nothing special or interesting. Then again, even with Craig Kilborn, I wasn't impressed with The Daily Show either.

6. The Scary Movie sequels/spinoffs: Even though I liked the first Scary Movie, everything after that was unfunny and poorly-thought out. Not to mention that David Cross was in Scary Movie 2. At least 18 Fingers of Death (which didn't get a theater release) didn't involve Aaron Seltzer, Jason Friedman, or the washed-up Zucker brothers.

7. Symbolism/Social criticism in movies: Look, just because a movie has some sort of satire, commentary, or symbolism does not mean that it's instantly better than a film that has none of the aforementioned. Political and Cultural satire has become oversaturated, and as a result, lost its status as the pinnacle of comedy thanks to Comedy Central, Michelle Malkin, Sirkowski (no offence, but I'm just speaking my mind), Foamy's rant, and various other log sites. However, Maddox still does some great stuff even though some of the arguments he makes are not that well articulated.

8. Futurama: I don't really care for this show and didn't have the wit that The Simpsons had. Then again, Family Guy wasn't impressive either.

Here's some Flash Ideas that I've had for quite some time, but didn't have the motivation to carry them out.

1. Crotch Men: Tankmen with a twist.
In some time that we don't know, much of Louisiana north of Lake Pontchartrain has been destroyed. What's left are a bunch of guys in bi-pedal walkers with penis-styled artillery. They are the Crotch Men, an even wackier take on JohnnyUtah's creation.

2. Not another Awesome cartoon.
I have nothing against Egoraptor, but I'm doing this out of spite.

3. Z.Man: Fighting Seraph.
This is one series that I have had since 2000, and I would like to make this ambitious series. In the year 2230, a couple of 16-year olds discover an ultra-advanced cyborg known as the Zenithian Man or Z.Man for short. He's a part of a series of these Techno-Organic warriors known as Fighting Seraphs, First created by exterrestrial scientists (called 'Angels') from Veris, a planet similar to ours yet far more technologically advanced.

4. TriGlav: The God Machine Saga.
A race of Mechanical beings that have emigrated from a dying universe to our world team up with three complete strangers. These strangers transform into Perun, Svarog, and Dazhbog; the three most powerful God Machines that have ever existed. Separate, they are a force to be reckoned with; together, they form TriGlav, a mechanical being that is revered and reviled.

5. The War on Oil.
I'm getting tired of the enviromentalists' War on Oil and I'm going to set things straight. Don't worry, the source will be the Cato Institute.

6. Professor O.D.D.'s crazy creation.
What will Professor Oscar Dominic Dimir make? I can't tell you that, but I can tell you this: It won't be the saccharin tripe that airs on TV.

7. Everything's a Conspiracy
I'm sick of this conspiracy crap and would like for it to end. Guaranteed to be obnoxious and politically incorrect.

8. Miss Dynamite versus the Shorts, Skits, and Other Shit Team.
No offence to Sirkowski, but Eva and Blackie need to be taken down a peg.
