Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Might as well mention that I'm sort of trying to get back into animating again. I did about 10 seconds last night, which is more than I've been able to do in the past couple of months. All that crap happening at the same time kind of hit me hard, but I'm about over it now I think.

But I'm not gonna revoke my hiatus status cuz... well, I dunno if I'll actually get back into animating or anything. I'm trying, but will it last? Will it not? Who the hell cares. I sure don't.

I'm trying, though. Working on episode 6 right now... it won't be done for quite awhile, but slow and steady wins the race. Well, unless you're racing fast and steady, anyway. Bastard fast n' steady's...

Oct. 23, 2009 | 7:34 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

More or less.

Nice to hear your gonna animate again. I have been checing your channel almost everyday, i guess im sort of a fan :P

I already thought you WOULDNT come back anymore, guz ur channel was so quiet.

Could you make a joke about something real old, like some shitty toy or something.

This is random shit that i couldnt post on the last entry and NOW THEYRE GOONA COME TO TO THE NEW ENTRY, MUHAHAA ''all your entry belongs to us''

Oct. 23, 2009 | 7:35 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Well nice to hear you're sort of a fan, checking my page almost every day sort of. I get quiet sometimes, it happens. Meeeemuaaaah. Meemeemeemmuuaaaah.

Oct. 23, 2009 | 7:16 PM turgan says:

It's good to have you back, even if it is just for a little bit.

Oct. 23, 2009 | 7:35 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Time, my friend, will ultimately tell where this takes me.

On a completely unrelated note, I love how this scene I'm working on is turning out. Timing is working, at least (as far as I can tell). Woo.

Oct. 24, 2009 | 10:14 AM aarnes says:

your posts and responds just keep getting wierder and your animation keeps getting better, does this have some connection?

and why dont you use all this shit u keep talking here, in your flash animations? (shit means good, im tired of serius or wise talk that i have to listen in school)

Oct. 24, 2009 | 4:58 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

I'm not sure what's weird about this, but... thanks?

And if I used news material (if you can call it that) in my flash animations, I'd never have time for it all. We all got our limits and I try to focus on the better humor I come up with. :3

Oct. 24, 2009 | 8:12 PM AK-Elliot says:

Hey bro, not sure what was haunting you. You seemed a little.. seclusive on MSN and what not. Didn't know somethin' plowed you like a ton of bricks. But I am glad to see you're getting the burden off your back.
You shouldn't force some things on yourself, ju-...oh, I see other people have lectured you. Ok, I'll stop.
Beep bop shibbity zoop zop.

Oct. 25, 2009 | 3:10 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Weeee oooooo Weeeeee oooooo
Yeah, stuff sucked for awhile. Then I got over it and was a better man for it. Or something. Back to being an ambulance.
Weeeee oooooo Weeeee oooooo.

Oct. 24, 2009 | 11:49 PM dieordieo386 says:

Welcome back Rob. Hopefully shit won't hit the fan anymore.

Hopefully you'll get your zazz back. And if not....well....I don't know.

But you did the right thing man. Keep on truckin'

Oct. 25, 2009 | 3:10 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Life will keep throwing crap at me regardless of what I want, so I just gotta take it in stride.
Hah, zazz.

Oct. 25, 2009 | 4:18 PM jonnathan00 says:

sup rob...

well, did you got a job?

if not, go and try some more :D

Oct. 26, 2009 | 5:55 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

No, and I already am. Never said anything bout quitting, son.

Oct. 25, 2009 | 5:29 PM Motoky says:

Great to hear from you dude ^^
Such a huge fan of your animations, can't stop laughing at what you make.
I just have no idea what to say really lol >.< Just glad your here again.
Can't wait to see whats in store for us all, I just know it's going to be awesome, just take your time ^^

Oct. 26, 2009 | 5:55 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Well, we'll see about that!

Oct. 27, 2009 | 8:30 PM I-fang says:

Wether or o not you come back ever again, I just hope you get all your problems sorted out soon.
Good luck man.

Oct. 28, 2009 | 7:15 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Thanks, man. The animation is actually going pretty well, I got the character animations for like a minute of one of episode 6's scenes done, so that's a great start. I'd love to be able to finish it by January, that'd rule. Then release the entire version of THATH the following February... I don't know how well I'll be able to, but that's my current goal.
Of course the job hunt is still fruitless... But I know its impossible to ultimately fail if I keep trying, so I'm going to. I'll get one some day.

Oct. 27, 2009 | 8:32 PM I-fang says:

Oh and you are awesome dont forget that.

Oct. 28, 2009 | 7:12 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

I'm tryin' not to.

Oct. 29, 2009 | 8:04 PM Prodigal says:

I've been looking at your work as an inspiration for my english project but too bad I'm okay at drawing but suck ass at animating with flash.

Maybe I should just stick to music :D

Oct. 29, 2009 | 10:29 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Whatever you think is best. We can't be expected to do everything, but you could probably achieve what you want if you keep an open mind and accept it as a learning process. That's art for ya, you know.

Oct. 31, 2009 | 8:36 PM Xemkin says:

Good to have you back Rob

Nov. 2, 2009 | 3:18 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbb

Nov. 1, 2009 | 6:31 PM xxxrobxxx says:

It's great to have you back man, but... Just, don't force yourself into some deluded state of happiness only to come crashing down back into reality every time you step away from the drawing board, you know?

I know people here pretty much expect you to make these fun and witty flash movies all the time, but maybe that's not the best medication for you right now. Don't be afraid to take that small step over to the darker side of the emotional triangle for once. It might actually do you some good to get it off your chest.

Life isn't always fun and games, it sucks that you've had to find that out the hard way.

Nov. 2, 2009 | 3:18 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Trust me, I never do this to meet some quota or meet expectations. It's more of a case of me just wanting to get back to the thing that gave me happiness before I started relying on other things for it. And I'm tired of being negative, of hating everything and doing nothing about it, y'know? If I want to feel good, I need to do something that makes me feel like a success, and animation is the best sort of thing for that. It took some time to get back into the swing of it, but I'm glad I've finally found the strength to do it. It all takes time.

Nov. 3, 2009 | 8:10 PM fullmetalbelmont says:

I really do love your stuff. It's been an inspiration for a lot of my stuff(as weird as I'm sure that sounds). I do hope your animating binge lasts.

Nov. 3, 2009 | 8:41 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

YOU AND ME BOTH, BRUDDAH.

Could've sworn your girlfriend was Araelyn, or maybe, that was a cover up, by the FBI... And AIDs.

Nov. 4, 2009 | 7:30 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

What would that have to do with anything, exactly? Point is I'm over that now and I'm back to animating. Biaaaatch. :D

Nov. 4, 2009 | 6:20 AM shadowslayer81 says:

Don't worry, it it gets to be too much, you can take a break again; I think it will be fine if we have to wait a month.

Nov. 4, 2009 | 7:31 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

You'll have to wait several months, it usually takes several to finish an animation like this. Y'know, the kind that're more than 5 minutes in length. And since this is a full episode, it'll undoubtably be at least 5. Boyeeee.

Nov. 4, 2009 | 8:42 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Yeah, someone sent a pm to me about that a day or two ago. Yep.

Hey Broseph, Been following your lil' Story here. Kinda...going through the exact same stuffs right now, Kinda...Not doin' so well.

But its great to see that your doing better, kind of inspires me to double click that little Icon that says "photoshop" That I have become so used to clicking; But In doing such an Arduous task, am I really helping, Hell who knows?! It's already open.

Anyways, Glad to hear your doin' alright man. If you ever need anybody to talk about life with you can hit me up at Cody_Thomas@sbcglobal.net on MSN.

-Michael

Nov. 5, 2009 | 6:13 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Oh my snaaaaap. My MSN is busted, so I can't really use it for conversating anymore. Sucks. But good luck with your journey to self recovery, man!

Nov. 4, 2009 | 11:00 PM Flashcard-Man says:

Good to see that you're back in the game, although you probably have heard this about twenty or so times. I'm personally glad that you have graced the art portal with your presence, I find your works funny and artistic, much like your flashes. Keep up the good work and take it easy.

Nov. 5, 2009 | 6:14 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Well thanks, man, I try. I wish I was doing more stuff like that now, but I'm still playing catch up as far as the art portal is concerned. I won't upload everything I've ever done, but some of the better things will be. I got it all up on my dA account, of course, so if you just wanted to see it without waiting on my slow ass then you could go that route. Either way, thanks for the compliment and kind words!

Why the lack of a donation button? Its time like this a small donation of $5 can really help.

Nov. 6, 2009 | 4:07 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Donation button where? I recently put a donation section up on my website... I didn't want to seem desperate so I didn't like advertise it. If people want to, it's there. Naturally they don't, though, it's the internet. I could figit with it more if you think it'd help though. Shrug.

Nov. 6, 2009 | 7:07 PM kikoforce909 says:

well your hell of a man good job and hope the best comes out 4 u :)

Nov. 7, 2009 | 2:01 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Well thanks, kik, your sentiments are appreciated!
ONE TWO THREE FOUR.

Nov. 8, 2009 | 10:32 PM SweetLew says:

Very nice to have you back comrade. If you need a good laugh, I have two sayings for you and anyone else for that matter. I remember watching a doctor show on TLC, or something like that, and the doctor told the patient that they had cancer...well, I sat there and, if i was the patient, I thought, I would say to my family "The doctor said it was cancer...I call it a challenge." This one doesn't involve any story so it's a quick scan, and this could even cheer you up even..."You were born a winner...You was the fastest sperm." If it helps great, but if it doesn't I kind of look like an idiot for it lol

Nov. 11, 2009 | 3:55 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Heh, well I'm doing alright now, but thanks for the thought! Boyeeeee.

Nov. 9, 2009 | 6:44 AM NordicFrost says:

Welcome back. Hope you're feeling better and all that. :)

Would an e-hug help any?

Nov. 15, 2009 | 4:57 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Uh, sure, why not? E-HUG.

Nov. 23, 2009 | 5:00 PM ImHatinItProductions says:

That's great, I'm glad you are back! You're one if the best animators on NG. Its not my opinion, it's a fact. Havin' ya back in the game made me buzz with a good feeling. Take it steady, though, man. I hope for the best in the future, Rob.

Nov. 24, 2009 | 7:37 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

So do I, hat. So do I.

Nov. 24, 2009 | 9:47 PM Tonash says:

I am leaving this comment on behalf of my girlfriend, who, just like myself, hates Twilight with a passion and also LOVED your TWHYlight parody. She immensely desires you to create a sequel to your flash, as it was essentially one of the funniest things we have ever seen.

Enjoy your hiatus, but know that you have countless fans looking forward to a new submission!

Nov. 26, 2009 | 8:54 PM Bobert-Rob responds:

Well, I'm not going to touch the Twilight subject again, I feel I did a good enough job last time. That and I refuse to submit myself to anymore torture involving watching any of that garbage again. I learned my lesson, yay. I am glad you two enjoy my work, though!
