TOP STORY: HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN IMPROBABILITY DRIVE
Have you ever wanted to distort reality at will? Do you want to bring people back to life or make yourself immortal? Or do you just want to cause chaos whenever possible? Well now you can! We at Tankman Triweekly have figured out how you can build an Improbability Drive from the comfort of your own home!
You will need:
- 1 Linux compatible PC (Or Steam Deck if you want to implant it to your skull like Tricky did)
- 1 4TB SSD
- 1 copy Norton Antivirus
- 1 Krink software package (hidden within the Project Nexus PC demo, requires some programming knowledge to extract)
- 3 generic branded particle accelerators
- 2 flux capacitors
- 666ml antimatter
- 300ml blood (It can't be your own)
- 1 magnet
- 69 screws
- some wire
INSTRUCTIONS:
SOFTWARE:
Step 1: Put the SSD in your computer. Make sure there's enough room to install Krink. It takes up 3.7TB of storage space, consisting mainly of algorithms for any and all modifications of reality.
Step 2: Install Norton. This ensures that no one else can remotely control your Drive as well as protects you from the installation process of Krink
Step 3: Install Krink. It should take some time to install to install.
BUILDING THE REALITY DISTORTING STUFF
Step 1: Put 300ml of antimatter in two of the particle accelerators, and the blood in the other one.
Step 2: Coat the magnet with the rest of the antimatter
Step 3: Place the two flux capacitors on top and beneath the two poles of the magnet.
Step 4: Align each of the accelerators so that they all point towards the magnet
Step 5: Screw everything in place
ASSEMBLY:
Step 1: Wire each accelerator directly to the motherboard and place the whole thing inside of the case
Step 2: Conceal the whole thing in an airtight case.
Step 3: Power on the computer.
You should be able to enter commands that can manipulate any living or non-living thing
WARNING: Using the Improbability Drive will NOT save you if you smoke cigarettes. Tankman Triweekly is not responsible for any chaos being caused outside the state of Nevada. Engage responsibly.
TOP 5 MOVIES BETTER THAN TARBOY
Image credit: Tarboy: James Lee
It comes to no surprise that James Lee's 2009 classic Tarboy managed to stay #1 on the Best Of All Time charts for the longest time for any animation on Newgrounds, but what most people don't know is that there are plenty of animations that are superior to Tarboy in many ways. Some managed to dethrone Tarboy itself for brief periods of time. Here, we decide to highlight the ACTUAL best movies of all time.
#5: Madness Combat 10
Way better action sequences. It's no wonder Krinkels became the 6th most followed user on Newgrounds.
#4: Waterlollies: Brackenwood
If visuals are your thing, no one can top Adam Philips. NO ONE.
#3: DR BEES RETURNS!
Now just because you put a lot of filters over it to get the right balance of colours, it doesn't automatically make your nonsense any better. This is the exception.
#2: The Ultimate Showdown
Lemon Demon bops harder than Hania. It's a fact.
Honorable Mentions:
Harry Partridge's previous attempt to dethrone Tarboy. Expect the same kind of humour
No thanks to the Friday Night Funkin' audience for making them relevant again.
And basically anything else by Sr. Pelo.
#1 TurdClock's Journey Part 3
The grand conclusion to the epic saga of TurdClock as he tries to save our King of the Portal from the Lock Legion.
The power of B is guaranteed to clean up any old mess.
SkullHead Review: Anyone Remember SkullHead?
Does anyone remember SkullHead? Anyone? It has its own Collection on Newgrounds, can't be that obscure!
Today we're going to be reviewing SkullHead. A series created from 2006 to 2007 by British animator Kirk Slater.
Reviewed by @Anonymous-Frog
The series revolves around the titular SkullHead living in the attic of an old house. He is accompanied by a fly and a spider creatively named 'Fly' and 'Mr. Spider' as they get into all sorts of antics, such as shooting bread out of a toaster, spawning lots of pink bunnies with a magic hat, and the old fashioned fly swatter. They even play baseball together in one episode.
Every episode is accompanied by the same repeating theme that keeps repeating for the entirety of the Flash, even after you finish watching, which makes for a nice touch once you've gone for a piss in between episodes.
The characters don't speak, much like an old Tom and Jerry or Road Runner short. But that's probably for the best since flies, spiders, and skulls aren't exactly the loudest of speakers.
My favourite episode is the Halloween special, especially the part where the rabbit gets blended up.
VISUALS: 7/10: Thick outlines on Skullhead's 'head' isn't that bad, although the detail on Mr. Spider's hair legs are quite impressive.
SOUND: 7/10: Simple, yet effective stock sound effects.
WRITING: 6/10: Basic and with limited scope.
ANNOYANCE: 10/10: So many flies.
TOTAL SCORE: 30/40: Each episode goes for only a minute or two, and since there's 11 episodes in total, it shouldn't be that hard to binge the whole series in a single weekend given your schedule.
@ChutneyGlaze: Already has enough footage to keep going without a Kickstarter, like we predicted
@Eli: Can't cross a simple bridge
Today's featured audio comes from KawaiSprite, who is the most followed musician on Newgrounds and doesn't need our support, but still recieves it anyway
