Sup guys! I would like to tell you that I took some time for thinking since all this controversy of people saying lolol sprites are not great/funny anymore, sprite TV 3 sucked ass, disturbing toad was your worst work pigeon you disappointed me, blabla...

And I took some time to think about it... And I've made some decisions:

1) I won't make funny flashes very often anymore.
2) I'll try to make my own pixelated art since I have photoshop
3) I know I have annoyed some of my friends with this notice but, I'm currently learning Actionscript and I've made some gadgets/ minigames :) But I won't upload them to newgrounds since they're gonna get blammed XD I just made them as a gift to my friends.

Instead of comedy I will offer other style of pixelated movies. Yes, It's a drastic change of my flash style but trust me, you won't regret it ;)

I've talked with some of my freinds (in NG and in real life too), and they told me comedy suited me a lot, so I made another decision:

The disturbing series will not die, the only opportunity to make funny flashes will be in a disturbed episode. But to be honest I will barely make a disturbed episode from now :(

~~Little FAQ~~

Q: Hey pigeon, Why did you change your style?
A: Sprite movies are always offering the same shit:

- Useless/nonsense battles
- overused jokes
- DBZ crossovers (Except alvin's SMBZ which he has done very well)

But recently, most sprite movies are always offering comedy, but my question is: Why sprite movies have always or most cases have to offer comedy? I mean, it's ok. But why always? That made me think so much when I released disturbing toad or when Sprite TV 3 came out.
I'll try to make original stories from now, not trying to bring back the same humor from 2004-2006 :(

Q: Pigeon will you make a collab with me???? You manage sprites very well :D
A: NO! I will only join to collabs with people that are awesome animators or I think they have potential, PERIOD!

Q: What's your next project???
A: I'll keep that in secret, but it's not going to be a flash game, it's gonna be a flash movie. And I'll work very hard in it, so expect it released it in 6-12 months :P
It's going to be a serious flash, BTW. With a new and original storyline.

Q: Cool! Now you will make flash gadgets/games! What is going to be your 1st game?
A: I will never tell about my Flash games/gadgets release dates. They're gonna be uploaded randomly and without previous notes/updates.

Q: Pigeon, you suck at flash because you use sprites!
A: If you don't have any award (from a solo flash, not collab awards) or if you're not a GOOD flash artist then stfu, I only listen to truly and awesome animators, or if you have good potential or have managed sprites.
But I know it's not an art, I respect that. Just keep it to yourself please...
I do sprite flashes as a hobby and because I like it, not because animation will be my career.
And to be honest, I spend more time on NG than making flash.

Q: You are a thief by stealing nintendo's sprites you faggot!
A: I've got PM's saying that and I'm going to mention about that too.
First of all, if that were illegal then nintendo woud have demanded NG by showcasing flashes with "stolen" art and even Randy solem would be in jail right now. So quit the whining, OK?
And to all the sprite haters, I'm going to make my own art too, but I won't stop spriting with VG sprites. So get used to it. And if you don't like sprites... why do you still watch them and leave shitty reviews expressing your hate about sprites??? No offense to you guys but you're making fool of yourselves by still watching them. Just don't watch them For the love of god, just vote 0 or 2 for the save point and please go away, thanks.

Q: Pigeon, Could you teach me flash??
A: No, I only teach flash to people that have potential and my friends in real life

Enjoy it ;)

Also, here's Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger :D

By the way, I share the same birthday with Afro-Ninja lol XD

HEY EVERYBODY! LOOK I AM A SPRITE ANIMATOR!

Yes... I am a sprite animator and I don't know if I should be one.
Actually I'm confused because Newgrounds hasn't the same love to the sprite animation as it used in 2002-2006 when plenty of great spriters where around. If I could say a number of the currently number of GOOD sprite animators, I would have to say just 7, and I'm not included (hell I'm not a pro, I'm still a noob at flash).

I've been a NG fans since 2004 but I just created my account just to share my sprite animations. They were well received, and thanks to all the people that loved them.

But I wasn't here all the 2007 and I missed A LOT OF THINGS that happened. For example, when that crybaby of MajinPiccolo quited flash. Respect to all the people that liked his flashes, but thanks to that fagot and his "funny" series of skittles n bitz, plenty of people thought that was the sprite animation, a boring style of animation. That's why I joined to the skittles n dickz collab, even if some of my skits weren't about spoofing the series, some of they had subliminal messages. Messages about how the sprite animation has been degraded. And also there's the skittles n shitz collab, proof that plenty of people still hate them. Thanks to god that finally they were ended.

But we're in the new era of the skittles n bitz, we have a new boring series AND WAY OVERRATED called shit a day, better known as sprite a day. When those series started they were great! But... They were degrading by each episode, and around the episode 20 they got boring and humiliating to the sprite animation.

Those "sprite animations" don't deserve an award, neither being in the runners-up section. They only seek for awards and popularity. My advice is to stop, or you will suffer the same fate as MajinPiccolo, Do you want that? And I'm not the only one that hates your bullshit, there are plenty! Even some of your ex-members.

If this keeps going, the sprite animation will have a bad name. And if the sprite animation is killed, I'm killed too because I only flash with sprites :(

There also other reasons, for example, the plenty sucky mario parodies. I love making mario parodies! But most of them use the same jokes over and over. When I started as a sprite animator I used to make mario parodies, thinking in the sprite movie style of 2005 and not 2008. I was surprised how much NG had changed and how sprite movies were getting more and more haters or dislikers.

One clearly example of the overused joke in the mario parodies is the MAMAFUCKER sound, I thought they weren't overused so I used it in 3 of my movies. Fortunately, god sent me an angel who saved my ass from ending like plenty of bad animators: emanhattan.
No, I'm not praising you because I like you or because you're a great animator.
This dude told me how overused and boring the sound was, and he was right! I used the search bar and seek for some mario parodies... God, there were plenty of mario movies that had that sound!

AND PLEASE STOP PM'ING IF I CAN SEND YOU THE SOUND! I WON'T.

And not to mention the original idea of using sounds from movies, the simpsons, or from family guy. For the love of god, PLEASE STOP DOING THAT! That's not being original, andI know because I used those sounds too.

This is how the sprite animation is right now. However NG won't stop receiving sprite flashes, but few of them are good.

As a spriter I've made mistakes, but we're human, aren't we? I'm trying to not make those errors and improve myself from each sprite movie that I make. Just don't be like I once was, and I have to admit something, sometimes those clips from shows and movies make me laugh, but there's a limit.

Thank you and good night.

UPDATE: SPRITE A DAY HAS ENDED! CHECK IT OUT:
Sprite a day: funeral

Since plenty of users visit my userpage, I will share to you all the tips and knowledge about flagging truly abusive reviews.

But well...

Blam this piece of crap: Reviews that contains the word blam, or the phrase blam this piece of crap or this deserves to be blammed, are 100% abusive and they will ALWAYS get deleted. Flag them, even if the review has constructive criticism, you can't say that in a review.

Insults to the author/flash/audio: You can't insult or being such an ass when reviewing, reviews that have go fuk urself, go die in a fire, you're a fag... Are abusive, flag them.

This is stolen: One of the most common abusive reviews to find. Everyday here in newgrounds, both portals receive at least 1 stolen flash/audio, and reviews that have the phrase you stole this, or just the word stolen, are abusive and they will always get deleted.

Gibberish/flooding: Reviews like:

#%$#FVR$@##$#%!!

or

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHH AAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA HHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Are 100% abusive, gibberish reviews aren't even reviews, they're just plain useless and stupid. Flag them.
By the way, reviews that have a lot of characters of the same type, is considered text flooding and it violates the review guidelines. Flag them too, even if give to the flash a perfect score.

Chain reviews/ repeat same review over and over: Those reviews will always get deleted, flag them ;)

Unrelated website: If a review says:

Score: 0/10

Come here to play better games: www.bettergamesthannewgrounds.com

It's abusive, you can't promote another website. Flag them :)

Images made from characters: Doing images by using characters in your reviews is totally abusive, for example, the classic image of the middle finger up. Flag those reviews, even if it's constructive. It violates the review guidelines.

---------

The other side of reviews: Useless reviews.

You suck, this sucked: Not always reviews that have those phrases are abusive. For example:

Score: 0/10

Review: This flash sucked! The graphics were crap and also the music was awful! And please use a higher FPS rate! For fuck's sake!

That review isn't considered abusive because it offers constructive criticism, but in a bad way. It violates the review guidelines, so maybe a mod can delete it or clear flags without penalty. But another one may just clear flags with penalty. So simply stay away from them or just rate it as useless :)

Possitive and short reviews: Many people think that reviews like that are abusive:
Score: 10/10

Review: Loved it.

But they're not, they're just useless. If the review has a high score it may be tolerable, but if it gives a low score and reviews like this:

Score: 2/10

Review: it sucked.

It's abusive just saying it sucked becuase that's not giving a good reason. Flag them.

Reviews in another language: Controversy of flagging reviews in another language hasn't stopped. Every review moderator has different points of view and some may delete them and some others not. If you're going to flag reviews in another language be careful. There are some mods that may know that language and he may notice that the review was actually praising the author. But reviews that say something negative they're still flagable, but I recommend you to PM to the mod the translation of the review so there won't be any confusions :p

----

SUPER TIPS AND REVIEW DILEMMAS:

*If you're not sure of flagging a review, just don't flag it. Or better yet, PM to a mod and he/she will tell you how bad the review is ;)

* Don't make the stupid thing of making an alt, write abusive reviews, and post them in the rage's thread. If you do that, mods will notice and all of your accounts will be terminated, so don't.

*You don't lose any points for flagging reviews in spam submissions. Flag them because some mods (like seamonky) still give whistle points by flagging them while others just clear flags without penalty. It's not true that you lose points by flagging reviews from spammy submisions :)

*If you find a bunch of abusive reviews in a user profile BE CAREFUL! because that account may be an alt created to give free whistle points. Some mods will clear flags without penalty, but some others may give negative points, so BE CAREFUL.

* If you find an abusive review, but it is from past years (2007,2006...) You still can flag it and get whistle points. But reviews from 2002 to 1999 you don't get anything. Like kidray76 said: leave dinosaur reviews alone. Like 99, 2000, 2001 etc. Almost pointless to flag a review thats over almost a decade old. ;)

K111
This dude is cool, he's one of my best friends here in newgrounds. I remember that I met him because he sent me a PM saying that I inspired him in the making of his flash pencil (which was very good in my oppinion). From that point, I decided to follow his projects and giving to him some flash tips, and now he makes awesome stuff! From sprites to halo spoofs. And if you're reading this sir K111, I'd like to tell you if you still keep improving you will get big dude :) And by the way... I hope you teach me how to blur as you promissed XD

Juanchi
Yay! He's one of my best pals too! We share many things... except for 1 thing: I like Mario and he likes megaman... But I can live with that, megaman also rocks. But well, I remember that he commented me in a blog of mine then I saw his profile, I just ROFL'ed of his user pic. And from that we started to chat and sharing flash tips (Juanchi is working in his 1rst flash which will be uploaded soon, so please don't be way too harsh!) I'm currently chatting with him lol

I met him because I saw an awesome review in a flash of mine and I always like his juicy reviews, thanks to them I've learned a lot. But... One day I found out that he was a mod XD seriously... I didn't have any idea that he was a mod until I saw his profile XD

silverFT
This girl has been watching my flashes since I started :) But what I find funny, is that first we found out that we were from same state and some time later we found out that we were from the same city too XD now surely I will find out that she's my neighbor too haha ok no just kidding. But I feel good finding someone from my city.

e104joker
Finally I have this awesome flash animator. We sometimes chat and I can say he's awesome! Specially because he helped me with ideas for my next flash disturbing toad. And he is from the same country as me! :)
