July 2006: Shortly after going viral, a teenage Alan Becker signed a major deal with Atom Films for "Animation vs. Animator". The legendary battle between a stick figure and the Flash interface took the world by storm and changed web animation forever. 🎨💥 #FlashHistory

In June 2026, Chris O’Neill (OneyNG) and his team hit a huge milestone! Bowlbo: The Quest for Bing Bing by OneyWare took home two major trophies at the TooManyGames Indie Game Showcase, winning both "Best Platformer" and "Best Local Game." 🎮🏆 #OneyPlays #Bowlbo

I sculpted Bowlbo & Bing Bing from polymer clay (mostly FIMO). Bowlbo's arms were one of the funnest bits to make. @OneyNG @OneyWareGames

The ultimate big bang for every stick-fight kid back then: In July 2000, sfdt .com (Stick Figure Death Theatre) finally allowed real Flash animations instead of just GIFs. The starting gun for an era of pure pixel violence and beautiful web anarchy! 💥 #sfdt #Flash5 #oldweb

@DiscussingFilm Yeah George, we don't need you anymore. We can make our own AI George now.

July 14, 2001: "Xiao Xiao No. 3" completely took over the web! Though leaked earlier, this was the day Zhu Zhiqiang’s epic white-room brawl hit international Flash charts and got featured by Tom Fulp. Still the most influential stick figure animation ever made. 🥊🖥️ #FlashHistory

July 2021: Total vindication for the web 1.0! @TomFulp was honored with the Pioneer Award at the GDC Awards. A massive recognition that @Newgrounds and its Flash culture laid the absolute foundation for the modern indie game scene we know today 🏆🕹️ #IndieDev #FlashHistory

July 8, 2007: A young Chris O'Neill (@OneyNG) drops "Weird Al's Best" on @Newgrounds, scoring a Daily Feature and 4th place weekly. It was one of the earliest signs that the web was absolutely ready for his legendary, delightfully deformed animation style. 🎨✏️ #FlashHistory

July 6, 1995: Tom Fulp launches "New Ground Remix", the absolute blueprint for @Newgrounds. Named after his Neo Geo fanzine, this tiny corner of the web hosted early cult classics like Club a Seal and Assassin. The rest is internet history. 🕹️🖥️ #RetroWeb

Really great in depth article about Bowlbo at TooManyGames. ONLY thing I’ll say is I don’t think Jake meant to say the game will be out in 3 months. We’re putting the TMG demo on steam soon, that’s what he meant. Keep an eye out ! https://t.co/22HZRax4IS
