LATEST INTERVIEW: matt-likes-swords
@matt-likes-swords was recently interviewed by BlueMaxima. He runs Flashpoint and is currently writing a book about flash games and is talking to game developers. matt-likes-swords has decided to share the interview with us. Check it ou!
When the movie Watchmen came out in 2009, @HappyHarry was commissioned to bring this cartoon intro for the Watchmen to life.
"I had come up with the idea because I believed it could be a big viral hit and because I'm a huge fan of the graphic novel and kids shows from 15-25 years ago, however this time round I decided I didn't want to sell the animation and so I maintained the rights out of choice. The experience was pretty damn tiresome, I churned the thing out in about 3 weeks, song and all. I'm glad people got a kick out of it."

@PussPeepers is a curmudgeon. Ask him nothing.
pretend to be another user in this thread
@cupheadswife has something fun for you to do. Pretend to be another user in the thread. It's easy! It's like Tankman Triweekly pretends to be The Tank Tribune!
Oh shit, neighbors getting arrested.
@Zymbot had his neighbors arrested. Things are getting crazy in the neighborhood.

How To Find your first paid project
I wanted to spend this part of Forum History to present a cautionary tale. Newgrounds is one of the most welcoming communities for creators on the Internet. There are a lot of freedoms and people to help you out on your journey to hone your skills, polish your craft, make friends, and build your reputation. It has helped launched many creators that go on to do amazing things outside of Newgrounds. @Egoraptor, the creator of the Awesome Series and renowned animator and voice actor. @Jenjamik, an artist and animator known for Link's Barrel Beat. He would go on to do the animation for the game Cuphead. @Jazza, artist, musician, animator, voice actor, and singer. Known for the PALADIN series here on Newgrounds. He would go on to make a name for himself on YouTube with his Draw With Jazza series. This is just a small fraction.
Each of these people would help other creators on the site. If there was a question in a respective forum. If they got a message. They would answer it. They would leave reviews and give honest feedback and help when and where they could. Many others on this site will do the same. All, without asking for any money. I say this because of this thread.
@mrjeffferson came onto Newgrounds with this thread. He was offering to help people find their first paid project and in return you would pay a small sign up fee. This seemed suspicious to a number of musicians on the site due to him having no music posted on Newgrounds and not much music posted outside of Newgrounds. Some pointed out that he came off more as an agent. He said he wasn't an agent, but was instead offering techniques that would help you. He was preaching himself as a mentor.
@ZipZipper was the first to dress down the OP. It was @samulis who would bury the OP. It is quite the wall of text so I will leave you with appropriate links. Take caution with you. We have people who wish to swoop into Newgrounds a gain a buck. Some just want your work for nothing so keep that mind with you as well. We are a community and we will help one another when and if we can.
Here we take a look through the favorites of our readers here on The Tank Tribune. This week we have ten favorite movies from @PussPeepers Enjoy!
PussPeepers Favorite Movies!
I sense something. Something dangerous. Approaching in August.
The Tank Tribune is a part of Dohn's Desk Productions
