In re flat & dense: it is the Netherlands after all.

When you fart in one town, they can smell it in all other towns in four directions.

But I also think it's depressing when people live in brand new rows of condominiums or little Levittown neighborhoods with a bunch of identical freestanding houses. (The "Edward Scissorhands" vibe.)

I watched the X-Files episode Arcadia (et in arcadia ego *fart) yesterday.

Sometimes, it's a little wider, with a little more green:

Sometimes, not so much:

And yeah, it's pretty representative. You can click a few random streets in a random Dutch town and see similar neighborhoods. Houses had to be built quick and cheap, after the destruction of World War II and the subsequent babyboom. So in the mid sixties, early seventies, there were suddenly a lot of people that needed houses.

Here's a quaint little street:

But even in a small, fortified island town they found room:

I'm working on mine because poly asked for it to be done on the 14th and I was like, now that's a due date I can get behind

it bloomed into a 2 minute long animation because I don't know how to constrain project scope.

I just want to say that no matter how dead the forum may seem, no matter how irrelevant Newgrounds or the Clock Crew may seem in the modern web landscape, or in our lives as we each get older and the creative spark that once fueled us fades, I love and appreciate the work of everyone who produces anything, no matter how slapdash, for Clock Day each year. This is my 11th year in the CC and at 23 years old it’s essentially been half of my entire life in this community and with you guys. Bless your hearts, each and every one of you. <3

I'm on a long bus ride today and I'm spending it watching all the clock movies coming in. It's so nice, and very nostalgic. I wish I could spend more time making clock stuff.

I've dipped my toes into various art communities over the years and none of them hold a candle to the cc. Clock flash for life.

Maybe we'll have a second renaissance when we all reach retirement age.

Honestly last year was massive for me on Clock Day. I was featured as a wall artist, my flash was frontpaged and I won a daily and weekly award. Part of me was hugely excited, like I had accomplished something- I finally ‘made it’ or whatever. However I had this inescapable feeling of sadness like my flash isn’t that good I rushed it right before the deadline and I don’t  o sided myself a good artist, really, so what does it say about the state of NG that I’m winning these awards and making the front page and such.

Still eternally grateful for it and I hope I can swing it again someday in the future, mind you.

Not to (humble) brag or anything, but who the hell is watching my flash movies? They hardly get any votes and reviews, but the views are always through the roof (currently 971). At least compared to the other submissions. It was the most viewed flash movie submitted on clock day (second if you include some sex game). Poop's daily first only has about half the views. Strawberry's has about 500 views, Radiotube's 450, and they're on the frontpage. Are viewers refreshing the page because I never include a replay button? Or are they unique views? If so, who are these people? Where do they come from? Do I have a hidden fan base in Latvia or something?

well, yours was probably one of the weirder submissions of the day, if you don't mind me saying

iirc a lot of the old wtfnoob output like lobster pencil got views seemingly disproportionate to the attention they received by traditional measurements, and I suspected this was because "experimental" animations pique people's curiosity, and get a lot of low-key shares from people showing them to close friends to ask them what their take is or w/e

[pop-tart]

Never underestimate the power of the anime thumbnail?

My most viewed entry is a Clock Day 2014 movie/game called Frozen Hentai xXx. 268,000 views. But that was a deliberate attention grab.

I have a 2011 movie called A Flounderman Day Movie with almost 77,000 views. And I have no fucking idea why.

[PhantomCatClock]

I remember someone finding that on a real porn site because apparently the curators didn't watch more than a minute into it

With Clock Day happening I haven’t really dropped a livejournal update on you boys in a bit so here goes- last Friday/Saturday I went to Blacktop Ball, a music fest down on the mainland. It’s put on every year by a band from NS that I love to death called the Stanfields. Two nights on a gorgeous beach with a 60oz bottle of spiced rum, I had the time of my life. Got to meet the lead guitarist for the band and he was cool as fuck. The boys all signed my copy of their third album, the one I discovered the band with, and I was front row for their set both nights.
Here’s a few photos from that. I didn’t take many because I didn’t want to be that guy.

And the other recent endeavour; I bought a camper! For $100! It’s in rough shape, obviously, but I’ve got a small piece of land out in the country with a run down mobile home on it, that I had been gutting about a year and a half ago, so I fully intend to rip everything I need to fix the camper out of there. Once I’m done with that, I’ll get the old place hauled out and park the camper in, set up a little outhouse or whatever, and bing bang boom you’ve got yourself a redneck paradise!
heres some pictures of that. consider these the ‘before’ shots.
