| Favorite animated show |
Insert Jojo reference here. Also the Dragon Ball series for sure because that's what started it all. My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, Dr. Stone too. Non-anime (kinda) however, the Avatar series (ATLA and Korra) too. |
| Favorite non-animated show |
Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Game of Thrones. House gets an honorable mention. |
| Favorite movie |
Not much of a movie person, idk. I did force myself to watch the Marvel movies and they weren't bad to be honest so, yeah, Endgame I guess. |
| Favorite video game |
I don't play much of anything so in terms of nostalgia there's Tomba 1 and 2, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Jak and Daxter among others. The original Genesis Sonic games are up there too. |
| Favorite food |
Orange chicken but, like, not the authentic kind. More like the sugar-chicken version where it just rots your teeth away as you eat it. |
| Ralph started making Stick Nodes one day because he was bored. He grew up practically addicted to a stickfigure-animation program called Pivot which sparked his interest in both animation and game development.
Eventually he got into Flash animation and Flash game development. He released quite a few games into the Flash gaming community, check out his portfolio for links.
Once mobile devices started taking over, he moved over to attempt Android games. After a few failed attempts, he released Plunder Peril - a quick 2-3 week project that was meant as Android-development practice.
After Plunder Peril, Ralph began work on Stick Nodes and in August 2014, Stick Nodes was released on Android with the iOS version following in November. Stick Nodes is built in Java with the LibGDX framework and uses RoboVM to port to iOS.
Fast forward to March 2020 when he was revising this page and he honestly can't believe Stick Nodes is still going so strong. Onward to world domination...
Fast forward again to August 2023 and really, I haven't been cancelled yet? |

| Sean is the site administrator and creator of the stickfigure submission system as well as a majority of the DBZ stickfigures. He also has a funny accent.
At around age 12 he discovered Pivot, ended up on Droidz.org looking for stickfigures to use in his animations, got fairly good after about 2 years.
He decided to make a website to host his animations on after having been on the forums for a long time. That's what got him into webdesign since the first iteration of his website was a terrible looking flash-based thing that at the time he thought was the best thing out.
After a while he realized how stupid it looked and behaved. So he looked into HTML and CSS, got it looking slightly better but it wasn't until he found WordPress that it started looking decent.
After that he went off the grid for a bit, got his Cert IV in IT and Webdesign, cemented his understanding of the internet protocols.
Lately he's been helping out around the Stick Nodes community and has been managing Animation Alpha. He's also been looking into game development and has begun a project that he hopes to finish one day soon, he can't really reveal anything about it but it's for mobile devices and will be a 2D sidescroller. |

If you hate me, then we are enemies.
And who hates you?
Stop provoking. Either chill out and participate in the community normally or stop commenting.
All of us.
Then we’re all his enemy. problem solved.
But then what does that make Sean?
Sean is Sean. problem 2 solved.
That makes Sean the guy who is sitting in a chair eating popcorn and secretly enjoying this.
XD
RANDOM QUESTION: (sorry for caps) who here plays Guild Wars 2
I don’t, but I don’t think that surprises anybody.
What is Guild wars? I bet it’s another stupid clash of clans thing that makes you wait days to get an upgrade.
Get a damn real video game, you guys are just wasting your time 8)
1) its a PC game
2) look it up
3) you’re wasting YOUR time complaining about something i like
(i sound like Teo)
plus its free 8)
Whatchu mean!I don’t play any crappy clash of clans related games.Those games SUCK!SUCK!SUCK!SUCK!SUCK!SUCK!SUCK!SUCK!SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK.
Huhshushuu would u like 2 play? Well, u gotta pay hurrruahahzuh u suck give me your money huruhauheuahahu – Clash of clans 2016 (or any other cpc related games)
Well okay, I have to admit that I play Forge of Empires,which is just another coc like game. But this game really looks like Age of Empires, my No1 favorite strategy game. I have the ds game (AoE the Age of Kings) but for some reasons the game is glitching out, flashed textures are coming out of nowhere, the text and somes animations are completely screwed, it’s actually horrifying. Since I have no AoE games on PC, I just play Stronghold wich is very fun too, but the gameplay is different, I prefer the mysterious fog surounding your units to make suprise attacks, I also prefer the fact that you need special units to gather materials, and all that stuff that stronghold doesn’t do.
Someone give me an Age of Empires 3 disk, I’ll pay you 40€ 8(
Is there a game you haven’t played?
Guild wars 2 and 1
Uhm.
Guild wars, yeah.
DmC
You traitor. 😮
Oh but if ralph will forgive me then just with him i willbe friend if he wont forgive me then he will be my enemy too
… Shut up
Ok guys look i am sorry about what i did. I hope we will be someday friends again. I promise i wont ever stole any stks. I puted those spiderman stks beacuse i tough the original creator doesnt know how to put them in the website so i puted them in the website. And i forgot to give credite to him. SO GODDMANIT GUYS HOW CAN YOU LIVE LIKE THIS? I MADE THE OTHER STKS NOT THE 2 SPIDEYS I PUTED THEM IN THE WEBSITE BEACUSE I WAS THINKING THE CREATOR DIDNT KNEW HOW TO PUT THE STKS ON THE WEBSITE. DID YOU GET IT NOW????????? THATS WHAT IWAS TRING TO TELL YOU ALL THE TIME!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we’re back to caps.
Alright, last warning. Your back to caps again, too, that will definitely make people warm up to you (it won’t).
Stop asking for forgiveness, stop bringing this up, just move on. Post comments on any other subject you want. By bringing this up over and over, you’re just making yourself an easy target for people to get angry at.
Nope.Its past time now Teo.
Plus we were never friends with you Teo.
*facepalm* *double facepalm* *trible facepalm* i puted caps beacuse i had rage. But thats what i was TRING to tell you all the time. I puted the spiderman stks on the website beacuse i was THINKING the original creator didnt knew how to put them in the website. So i was TRING to help him. I didnt knew that thing was stealing. I was just string to help.
If you have the stickfigure, and you didn’t make it, doesn’t that mean it was already on the website. So the person who made them DID know how to put them on the website, and even so, ya didn’t ask. So how were you supposed to know.
Either: your lying, your bad at explaining, your lying, or your not telling the truth, but either way your at fau-…wait a minute…Teodor, NO-ONE CARES. Boi shuddup didn’t Ralph not to bring it up anymore? I didn’t think you could do this, but your actually making it worse for yourself.
Ok Teo. 1: Shut up. 2: Learn to speak real earth language. 3:Stop bringing this up.Three easy task to complete.
*Triple
*Trying
Fine then we are all and you too ralph we are enemies
Sorry Teo, you’re banned from commenting now. I’ll lift the ban in a week, but you obviously don’t care to follow instructions, maybe after a week you’ll have a clear head.
Finally, thank you Ralph. It just occurred to me, and I mean this in the nicest possible way,Teodorninja is probably autistic or has some other kind of clinical retardation, because there is no other explanation for the fact that he kept bringing it up even though we all told him dozens of times that if he dropped it, we would to. Oh well, not like I care, I’m just glad that I can actually go to the FAQ or the About Us section without him or his ‘friends’ constantly spamming for forgiveness. Good riddance.
Oh Gawd, I wanna ignore that you missed the word autistic..
It’s su offensive tho.. ;-;
*Misused
It wasn’t meant to be offensive, I simply said it for a lack of a better word. What I mean is that he is simply retarded for bringing something up again and again, even though we told him to drop it again, and again, and again, etc.
“It wasn’t meant to be offensive”. You literally just called him retarded.
It wasn’t meant to be offensive to autistic people, smartass
I get it. But autistic isn’t really a word you want to use as an insult at all.. Just saying. ;3
LOL
Look you 13 ye- wait,I bet your not even 13 years old.More like 5 or 4.But seriously,we do not care if you say “we are enemies waaaa wa wa waaa”Honestly,it’s painful to see this sight this way because of your stupid hate and rage comments.This was a cool and nice hangout page to feel calm at,but not with your presence.So again,I will say it.We all rekt you many times,and we all found ways to outsmart you.Anything you say,can easily be taken down and reversed to hit YOU in the face.So Teo,enjoy your week ban.?
Ralphh? Have you ever banned someone before Teodorninja?
There was one person probably a year ago, kept spamming the place after I told him to stop. I had actually just removed him from the ban list when I added Teo, so he can come back now if he wants lol.
He probably ragequited. :3
