Despite my lack of time spent on Newgrounds recently, I have actually been able to group up a whole list of worthy animations and games for the public to watch/play. There are quite a few that deserve to be mentioned that don't get much publicity as the content on Front Page. So here's my list of favorites for this week.

Animations.
The content for animations go from variety to quantity to all the way to talent. Animation techniques with unique work really catches my eye when I look for a good animation or a good toon. If you are recycling sprites, or maybe old animation movie clips, than it seems repetitive. I don't have room to talk, but besides the fact, here are the animations I think deserve to be mentioned.

1.) NightGun [Ep.1]
A rather interesting piece which leaves you in the beginning confused and wondering why in the world are they randomly battling a freaking monster? The animation shown is created fairly but some parts lack the appropriate use of colors and techniques to be perfectly honest. Despite the animation work, I believe the voice acting could use some as well. The way they express the script and words isn't really fitting the whole movie in general. To make a good anime feeling moving you really have to have good voice work, besides those other anime shows with the moving circles and opening mouths with crazy scripts -- Besides the fact of the whole animation, it needs work but it's alright for what it's worth. Nothing is perfect, and everything will need improvements to get the closest to perfection.

2.) The Lonely Life
Usually impressed by the animations created by Studio-NightBird's work, I wasn't quite feeling it in this animation. Even though it was a nice touching piece with a nice story which saddened me a bit, I believe it could of been better if more time was put into the animation itself. He states that it was created within one day so I won't hold much against him and I'll cut him some slack, but in the end maybe cut out the choppy and laggy looking FBF work, and maybe brush up on the character designs. I'm aware of his capability on how he likes to create the Anime-Japanese character styles but sometimes you have to branch off and maybe improve it a bit more as well. The side views look very sloppy which I don't quite like. Nothing less, the animation is nice along with the work -- You should check it out. I think it should of atleast gotten Daily 5th. At the least.

3.) TidBits
A bit surprised by the work, Wonchop just released.. This was rather interesting to be perfectly honest. Giving me a laugh here and there from the random tidbits really put a spot onto the animation in the end. It's not much and seems like a lacking kind of animation that just has random shit like those Sprite Bloopers that people keep shitting out, This was actually good. I'd really like to see more animations that are random and goes scene to scene rather than Sprite Animation ones.

Games.
After looking through the portal for some good animations, It's not my chance to check out a few games. I'm usually not into online-gaming much, simply because It bores me, but Let's see what I can find on the Flash Portal.

1.) Rhythm Fireworks 2
A very colorful game with a unique DDR style feel to it, brings a sound based Rhythm Firework theme as you bash the arrow keys and A-S-D keys to achieve your acquired score. It has a pretty interesting feel to it, as well as it's very fun.

Since I'm lazy and don't feel like playing anymore games -- I'm just leaving it at that. I think you guys get the point and whatever. There are plenty of games in the game section so enjoy them. I think games online loose creativity after a while due to the high amount of internet games. I'm just waiting for an interactive game like "Newgrounds Rumble" or maybe an online version of "Castle Crashers" to hit the portal and just blow us away. But until than I'll be sitting here scratching my head and just chilling waiting for a moment to play something really good.

Eh, enough about these news updates. :)
