Before making video games, The-Super-Flash-Bros (@SFBTom and @SFBDim) made THE DECLINE OF VIDEO GAMING in 2004, a cartoon satirizing the state of video gaming in the future.

If anyone finds that Alien Hominid bargain bin, lemme know.

[Once Upon A Time On The Internet @newgroundsdoc]

On this day in 2004, the massive @Newgrounds collab THE MATRIX HAS YOU was posted.

Featuring animation from @Joseph_LFrog, @SFBTom, @SFBDim, @Pikanjo, and more, it hit Daily Feature and helped to solidify the culture of collabs on the website.

We also added translations to the Steam page, including the animations in the description, which took some WORK. Footage masked out in Photoshop, per-language text & icons into PNGs in Animate, ffmpeg via a python script to composite the video & overlays into 48 webms with alpha!
