well it looks like we've finally got enough submissions to scrape together another update. you can thank the guy (or girl?) from jewelltoons who submitted their series of "drawn dreams", which really made this update something.

just one other thing i've been meaning to say for a while now: if you've ever heard of maddox (who happens to run <a href="http://maddox.xmission.com/" target="_new">the best page in the universe</a>), he's had a book out for a couple months now, and his publisher was nice enough to send me one (actually two, one of them got misrouted, oops) for free. i told everyone if it wasn't any good i wouldn't lie and give them any fake promotion, but it honestly is a hilarious book if you have a sort of.. cruel.. mature.. sense of humour :) <i>(i even had to make sure my sister didn't steal my copy -- dammit jocelyn, buy your own!)</i>. so, "alphabet of manliness" gets the gprime seal of approval.

but it's not like any kind of promotion i give will do much good anyways. the gprime shop which everyone bugged me about for eons has sold exactly *one* thing since it's opening (thanks Artur, whoever you are!).

and here be the goods:

jewelltoons' series of "drawn dream." i'm not sure why i listed these backwards, but you'll have to live with it. the series starts off slow but gets much awesomer as the episodes progress.

dumdum wanted to share his love of this commercial, "billions of babes." i would also like to share that love :)

this video is a bit .. strange. it's not real beatboxing, but rather a clever video edit to give a really crazy effect.. and.. some pretty crazy hair too. (thanks, pink floyd!)

okay, there are a lot of X vs Y videos, but this one takes the cake. a sword that can split a speeding bullet in half. how cool is that?

this is the game that was supposed to make the last update. if you hadn't noticed, i never actual got to adding it. but now it's here, so enjoy. (and thanks oneoftheherd, for being patient with me)

"diet poop" laughed at me when i asked if the guy who submitted this made it. it ends up he actually did (well, part of the team i guess). but poop redeemed himself by getting killerviral's permissions for us to post this very unique game: killing toons in real life streets of london. (thanks diet poop, and of course, killerviral).

Woah! Totally unexpected update! (and a rather big one)
Anyway John, I got you lotion! Yes I know all about johnisagaypornstar.gprime.net **wink wink**

EDIT: holy crap! I thought I was the only one who ever saw that commercial for "head on!" Everyone I mention it too is like "WTF?" so I was starting to think my imagination was getting boring and coming up with badly written commercials.

Dude that freakin' Tooncrisis was such an innovative game. Freakin' sweet. and addictive.

I wanted to shoot the live news anchor in the Microsoft commercial in the face. The first Drawn Dream was pretty hardcore, the second one was hilarious, and all the others are awesome.

to be perfectly honest, the only thing that made me smile in them drawn dreams was the fact that Bobby Krafts name was in smaller writing than the rest (last episode). IT WAS POINTLESS!! Windows failure was good though (i agree with Neverender about the news anchor). Seen the Lynx Effect and hyperactive beatbox loads of times though. Might have been good if they were posted when they came out (hint at more regular updates). Madness Interactive: Midnight is identical to the original Madness Interactive, just with different images for the weaponary and the bad guys. Toon crisis is weird yet oddly addictive for 10 mins, and i tried to make a Connect 4 game using Delphi for a college project,failed miserably so i made a shooting game instead. All in all, thanks for the update but not one of my favs, n im guessin most people will disagree with me on this n start having a go at what iv said

well, i havent noticed anyone making a fit about this, but the flash player for the videos is fucking lame, the picture quality sucks, playrate jitters, switch back to media player, or ya know, anything that works, i remember john posting back in the day about switching over, i should have said something then, i knew itd be a bad idea, all flash video players suck, i challenge you all to find one that doesnt completely blow

wow, you're complaining when you have two posts, good for you *sigh*

ugh I hate those Head On commercials because that lady repeats that same damn phrase, "Head On. Apply directly to the forehead." about 10 times

Ten times? it must be more than 100 times!

I liked drawn dreams 3 more than the others.
Only my brother already liked "lynx effect". I said "yes, it's a good ad, well produced...". I also remembered a Johnnie Walker ad when i saw it.

Yeah! What a really big update!

Have not seen the four-episode series yet. But the others so far.

Does that HeadOn commercial really exist? I mean in this sort of annoying "spoilt record" way?

Microsoft is being too ambitious, being influenced by the whacky Steve Ballmer (http://www.macboy.com/cartoons/ballmer/index.html). (And they say support for Windows XP ends on July 2007!!!)
Go! (http://www.freespire.org) Linux (http://www.kubuntu.org)! Go (http://www.ubuntu.com)!

Finally, a game where the "save game" actually works. He must have been given enormous funding from Sony for this.


The beatbox effect video was cool, but none can match this awesome beatboxer (http://ebaumsworld.com/2006/07/beatbox2.html).
