| 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. |

Turkey’s 3% in Europe, 97% in Asia.
But weird thing is, Turkey considered as Europe country.
Why.
İ dont know.
Man…i feel like a complete butt. sorry berke and ralph… i guess the power went to my head…i guess i kinda felt famous for once and felt special…i hope you can forgive me…
What is he rambling on about?
What are you talking about?
He’s gravatar explains it all.
His . *
İ think its time to go and jump down from window.
I’m going to forgive you but I’m not sure for what.
Because he have a Spider-Man in his picture.
Spider-Man is 9 letters
Spidöh-Man is 9 letters too
Ultrafiver is Spidöh-Man confirmed.
Dmlan beat stage 2 of parappa 1 the stage he spent an hour playing
I almost got crazy,thanks to you for the useful tip.
Isn’t that game like a billion years old how are there still tips that are unknown to players.
Because I’ll tell you a little (or long? Depends how much I’ll write) story.
MightyEtt had a PS1.
I think it was somewhere in 2009, Ett lend it to me and his games were Crash 1, 2, 3, Team racing, Bash and Um Jammer Lammy. For some reasons, the game I played the most was Um Jammer Lammy, stage 2 was the best, oh my god it was so catchy.
It’s just some months ago that I discovered Parappa, because I was watching some Jammer Lammy videos to see how the stages I didn’t unlocked looked like. So I saw you could unlock Parappa on Jammer Lammy, then I discovered that Parappa had his own game. I first bought Parappa 2, it was great, and I shouldn’t have emulated Parappa 1.
Dat’s rite, ma guitar iz in mah mind!! BUT YOUUUUUU FORGOT TO CLOSE THE DOOR
Please don’t bring me way too back in time you were so young, i can remember you were raging at that level 3. you even broke my controller, the left analog stick doesn’t stay in place.
That was a beautiful story and I don’t mean to undermine it, but what is it with you guys and your Gravatars. Did you each draw them or something? Lmao.
I didn’t expect to write that much but I like to write as much details as possible on my stories.
And considering our Gravatars, Ett draws them.

Ralph, why did you posted 3 batches in a row? That’s unusual.
I’m trying to catch up and get to a point where it’s 2-3 uploads a week of stickfigures that were submitted within a week ago. Almost there (currently working on mid-November submissions).
Gud, gud.

Turks are the only nation that opened a new age 2 times.
“First one was summerians, they invented writing, and they started ages.”
“Second one was Turks, they started migration of tribes.”
“Third one is Turks too, if you never heard ‘Fall Of Constantine'”
“Fourth one is French’s, they made French revolution.”
And current age is French age, so thats why DmLan is R!CH.
(Bonus fact: İ dont know that “French Revolution” translation is true, i translated French Revolution in GUGL TRANSLET, so, i think GUGL TRANSLET, translated this French Revolution wrong to English)
(Bonus fact 2: DmLan is R!CH)
“opened a new age 2 times”
…
“Fourth one”
What.
“First one was Summerians”
“Second one was Turks”
“Third one was Turks”
“Fourth one was French”
İ mean, 2 Turks in here.
Right?
Alright, now I get it.
I don’t know why we’re talking about this but I get it.
“…İ am out of random things, so i wrote something makes sense.(Or i tried)” -Berke 2016
I didn’t get a single word.
Me too, but i am out of random things, so i wrote something makes sense.(Or i tried)

“I am dick again,” Does that mean I can curse also?
Nu, do you know what sick means in Turkish.
Sick=Dick in Turkish.
Well that could also be someones name, sadly.
İ mean, i am not feeling well, yo knuw
Oh now I get it, OHJ was translating it.

Yesterday, I had an english test.
There wqs one question that said “what would you do if you were rich?”
I said
“I would track down someone I hate”
I don’t think I need to precise who’s that someone… 8)
Aren’t you already R!CH ?
NO.
That purple gremlin and the double jumper said you are R!CH.
Spidöh-Man said that too.
1-You are already R!CH
2-That guy is Spidöh-Man
I hope you didn’t write that because that’s how people end up on government lists.
Is it wrong if I really wrote that?
If you don’t believe me, I’ll take a picture of my test, once I’ll have it back.
Do it
You’ll probably be getting it back with some handcuffs too.
Iz gona bi alrite, dun worrie boi.
If that’s how you answered in English, I bet you failed.
Me?
Yeah, you failed. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Day’s random thing.
Here are the stickfigures that will be coming tomorrow and the next day.
Guess which ones are stolen.
Noice noice.
OH THE SENSEI MO STUFF IS IN DERE’.
This comment of yours is the best to get comment from, cause’ I could just point out every stickfigure I see.
İ think, thats spam
VALVE PLS NOT FİX

Starscream stickfigure, eh?
It better be the G1 Starscream.
G666 Starscream is best.
I’m not sure.
However, some untalented people submitted a Rayman Pack though. It seems they’re of French origin because they’re of such low-quality.
You are a good detective too.
Hey.
shut up 😀
WHAT DID YOU JUST SAID RALPH.
