yay, unimportaint ranting

I read it all. You make good points.
With all the negative reviews on my latest game I've been feelin' the "kick in the stomach" extra hard lately. It's brutal, but it's somethin' everyone has to deal with on NG - good or bad.

whooper?

Read it all. Yeah it's kind of weird how hurt people can get just from negative feedback on the internet. I've noticed that it's fairly exaggerated on NG though; but you just have to not listen to the jerks.

On my first ever cartoon I submitted I got a review that said: "Go hang yourself or eat rat poison." That was it, word for word, it's gone now but I remember it because it was ground into my memory. Whenever I looked to see if I had a new review I would see that, and wonder why someone could be so heartless as to wishing I was dead over a flash cartoon. After spending about 2 years hanging around NG I've learned to take asshole comments with a grain of salt because honestly people can be unnecessarily cruel on this site, and you shouldn't listen to those people.

I do think however that constructive criticism is a very important thing, and on the BBS, when it comes to these yearly voting things, that really is non-existent, which may be why it is kind of upsetting to you. The BBS is a pretty harsh place sometimes, which is weird for me to say because honestly it's just a gathering of nerds, but the anonymity of it all can lead to people being meaner than they would be in real life.

I've noticed that if people make topics saying they like anime, or something about porn, they're going to get flamed, that's just how it is. Usually people just jump on the bandwagon with that stuff though.

Now, about you. You shouldn't listen to those guys who say negative things about you. Whenever I see a thread you made I always click it, because honestly you have made me laugh so many times, it's scary. You always have had something witty and original in your topics, and it's just fun to read what you write; so I commend you on that.

I don't know why I wrote all this, I guess I just had a lot to say on the subject.

Also, I like WilliWowza, I think you should keep it.

I hate doing voices in my house as well...

WilliWowza > Wooper

i only talk to 2 people on msn.
seriously, we've both hit the end of the cycle where we're so cool that people don't even talk to us.

Wow, the paragraph about flash is 100% just like me. Everything from the loathing og my own work, to loving making flash, to thinking so many flash makers are genius and the house free voice acting.

all i can say is its about damn time you recognised his god like physich!(if you spell it like that)
wooper for president! :p
XD

I always like to remind myself that "the day you become happy with your work is the day your work stops improving." Essentially, no one decent will ever be happy with anything they make, but at least there's that short-lived moment of pride when you finish and release something.

The joy-vacuum that I fall into is this: I'll choose to work when I really, really don't feel like it, but then I'll cross some hurdle or tackle some obstacle I thought I would never tackle... So then I'm like "Wow, what if I had just gone to bed, or gone out with friends, or whatever, instead of sitting down to work on this... All these difficult things wouldn't be done."

But it's a trap, because before long, you have to ask that about every part of your day. "I wonder what would be done right now if I had gotten up at 6 instead of 7", "I wonder what I would have completed if I hadn't sat down to watch Lost." Suddenly nothing in life can be enjoyed because every moment spent consuming is a moment that you aren't producing. But then a lot of inspiration comes from the consuming, so it's important to totally slack off every once in a while and shift your gears. Anyway I don't know where I'm going with this bye.

I accidently submitted a piece of crap and i think that has something to do with the fact that i can't deposit or get any more points. Someone tell me!

wooper was my favorite water type in Siviler/Gold

Woopers rule

Respect....

Uh-oh.

I ment what I said about people being stupid for thinking you're overrated. You're one of my favourite users on here, and one of the few who I like to take notice of what you're psoting. You know what I mean, you see a certain users name in 'Last Posted' and you go look at what they are talking about. Forget the haters, it's all baseless, and I would love to talk to you more on msn.

I'm not on msn so mine these days really. I mean right now I'm at work, so using msn isn't even an option and with my PC issues (CRASHING ALL THE FUCKING TIME) I tend to not bother getting on so much.

SELF-ESTEEM BACK UP?! CAN I STOP SUCKING YOUR WOOPER NOW?

I CAN DO IT TOO WITH KANDOO!

I'm gonna buy myself a decent laptop when I can afford it. My room is too small to house a PC.

One Liner!

<Picture>

I'm not sure I get it. Explain in 1 sentence please

I wanna rock your body.

WOOPER DONE A POOPER!

Hey Willi.

YOU BAD AT FLASH. NO?

I read your post and I know how you feel about not having friends IRL. After college I lost touch with almost everyone. So I guess if I could give you any advice it would be stay strong and positive, things like to work out in the end.

too long did not read

Home of the Wooper.

Will, you're a cool kid, you know?

Don't let a bunch of random strangers get you down because, honestly, do they really matter?

And, just to push this old button again, when you get back into flash, I'll have my mic ready.

Hai thar WilliWowza, you know who I'am?

Don't bother asking people whether you should change your username.

I've been there, what happens you think that you need to start again. You may ask people or just mention it. They'll say "NAW DUDE I'VE GOT USED TO LOOKING AT YOUR ALIAS BWA BWA BWA"

Then you'll forget about it and do something else like build a skyscraper made out of CD jewel cases.

CRAWLING IN MY SKIN!

Nah, your name is great. It wouldn't be the same if you changed it.

You just keep doing what you're doing. From what I've seen you're work's great, just keep working.

:3

:3

That's a pokemon.

You take negative comments from users you don't know seriously? You're too soft William.

Mudkips final evo and Gastrodon are better than wooper.

Regarding your blog, I like you.

Awards? Link?

If it helps, I always liked you. :)

You make good points, 'mano.

Woopers are nice and all but... I LIEK MUDKIPZ!

SARAH

SARAH!

Ha, you said IRL!

IRLand :D

Wooper is so hot.

I really wish we could do something between us three (HAYF being the third).

There was a whole emptiness of potential after your party thread, which is probably the only thing that's made me hang on to the general forum in the hopes that something like it will come along again.

Ah well, we'll always have purple juice.

Woop!

I guess not. );

Your such a picwhore

SHOOP DA WOOPER

Sorry about that post there.

hmm, in one of your movies you credited another auther for the art(dont save missingno) but it looks like the art is all yours.

anyways nice art...

CHIKORITA USED RAZOR LEAF!

hello thar.

I like to poop. Feels good when it comes out of my asshole.

I know you from facebook. :D

I like poop. I love the way it feels when in comes out of my asshole.

That guy above me likes poop.

Just throw grenades at me.

Dat a radiation victim.

you should write a book about this willi, more people need to know about the WOOPER

korn sucks shit

Hey WilliWowza, seeing how you are a fan of Dead Rising come to my blog to see Frank Ballpark movies. Frank west.

I read the entire blog in the voice of pikachu.

I am a girl! i swear to you!

Don't change it to wooper, personally I like your name, its cute. :3

And you should make more flashes, specially if it makes you happy.

I hate you. Your awesome. >:(

Bring a case of beers to my house, yes?

I wanna see you buried alive.

surely the infamous Will has more to talk about now?

OK, I promised myself that I would read all of this blog and give an appropriate response. So here it is. :)

"Making news posts is always something that riles me up over what I should actually put here."

I know how you feel. A while ago I made a very short blog showing pictures of me from two different years. One was better than the other. I got 34 comments, excluding spam comments which is fantastic for me. I thought it was great that I was receiving so much traffic, but then I felt, "This isn't anything. It's a neat thing I found, that's it." Whenever I make a huge blog (much like this one), then no one takes the time to read all of it, or they'll leave an unrelated comment. So whenever I create a new blog, I feel like writing tons of shit but know that it'll get ignored. It sucks.

"If someone says something nice about, you're happy and feel like some sort of role model for that person."

It felt good getting nominated by Mechabloby last year for 'Master Creator'. Apparently my topics were/are quite good. That was the only nomination received, but it wasn't a case of "DAAAAW NOMINATE ME PLZ". He genuinely felt that I was deserving of it, and I did feel good. It also feels good that some people look up to me or call me in times of trouble, whether it be NG related or not. I feel valued.

"On the other hand there's the kick in the stomach you get when you see someone make a negative comment about you or put you in a bad category. "

The only bad category I have been nominated for was 'Attention Whore' by The-D-Lucks Edition, also last year. It did cause some uncomfort, but I eventually let it wash over me. I think bad comments/nominations becomes a problem when it's in a certain abundance. If you receive 1 nasty comment from someone then you think "Meh, just some stupid kid." If you receive 5 nasty comments, then you think "Hey, am I really like that?" I can't say I know exactly how you feel here, but I understand how it could be a problem.

I don't get what people like so much about WoW, it never really caught on to me. I prefer Counter Strike. TF2 looks great as well, but my computer is horrible for that sort of thing. :(

"Speaking of IRL, let's not. I'm sure nobody could care less about my life nor do they want to read me droning on about it since I sure don't unless it's a person I care about, which I don't think many people do about me on here."

Sometimes you just have to do it for yourself. No one might turn up, but you have to vent RL frustrations in a tangible form in order to keep on top of them, and to not let them get you down. The people who give a damn will be there to offer advice.

"Flash has been hanging over me like a dark foreboding shadow, beckoning me to curdle back into her ghastly talons of tweening and patience."

Ah, Flash. I suck at it so much, and yet I keep on coming up with ideas that I know will never happen (due to a faulty laptop and poor skills). I can see it playing in my mind, but when I'm sitting down with my laptop, I'll lose patience and pick up my DS. And the thing is, I know how it works. I know how to animate, and I can animate, but I just lose momentum by the time Flash is done loading. It's a problem being primarily interested in making music videos on Flash when your laptop has no audio; a nightmare when trying to sync events with beats.

It must feel good being able to submit your own work and for it to be valued.
There's nothing sad about getting excited about reaching daily 2nd/FP. I'd be overjoyed just getting a score of +3 on a Flash of my own creation.

And yeah, I know how you feel about the voices. I cringe inside whenever I try to record something and it comes out wrong, or my mic becomes loose and I hear "KRRRRRRRRRRH" throughout the whole recording.

"Seems a bit of a waste even loading up MSN nowadays, seeing as I only really talk to about 3 different people (don't hold me to that number). "

Yeah, you know that you've got +100 contacts, about 70 who you never talk to, but you don't feel the urge to delete them. And so the list is messy.

It feels awkward having small talk with someone and then there is silence. It kind of discourages me from talking to the people that I don't really know. But it feels great when you have a good conversation and you feel closer to that person, and that you know them better. I hate convos that begin with small talk, followed by "Five this for me", or are even initiated with "Five this". You feel like a pawn in someone's army, knowing that when you've done your task, then you are ignored. sonicmega was bad at this, but it's not been so bad now. I don't mind fivening something during a good convo, e.g. "Can you check this out?", but nowadays if people try to use me like that, I tell them to fuck off.

"Why am I writing all this? Good on you for anyone actually reading this far, I don't know what's got into me."

(y)

"Was wondering if I should change my username to Wooper"

Nah, I prefer WilliWowza. People will eventually forget what a Wooper is. I find that Pokemon is a fad that went beyond the 90's, no offence. WilliWowza is original, and that makes it memorable.

ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED

Off The Short Bus - (Leave a comment two sentences long) 20g

Yaldy, 20g. You should do this more often. :P

- Ops

I dunno, after a while you realize that you can just distance yourselves from the people who hate on you for your posting. Nobody really knows much of anything about you unless you choose to reveal yourself on the BBS. Posts aren't nearly the whole story.

Like, I used to totally avoid reading your topics as if I could catch disease from 'em. But once I'd seen an interesting opinion of yours on a subject, no longer could I afford to avoid your topics. But then again, I suppose I strive to be a little more reasonable than others in terms of the mutability of my opinions on others.

Whatever. Obviously I read your whole blog. GIMME MAH POINTS.

Hey, I never knew your birthday was a day after mine. :o

Gligar > Wooper

We rescued the crops!

This is my first sentence. This is my second sentence.

Go out and get drunk legally you son of a bitch
