| 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. |

Hey hopefully im on page 100
Nope.

Days random thing
wtf, i find a channel on TV that shows German ads.
Also another bomb exploded and i am sick.
This is actually worthy of the title “random”.
Also stop being sick.
-… . .-. -.- . / .. … / .- / … .. -.-. -.
That’s morse code
Wot
Days random thing
I removed the “Top Commentators” from the sidebar as a test to see how well the site performs without it.
To be honest it looks a lot faster… If it continues to be fast I may put it only on the homepage.
Good. Now Berke is sad.
I like it when he cries π
Nooooooooooooo? It’s gone forever… my child! Why?
Maybe not forever, but the site seems to be doing much better without it. Probably homepage only if it proves to be a major factor in the slowness.
ADD Δ°T

NNUUUUUUUUUUU
I FINALLY FINISHED SONIC HEROES 14 YEARS LATER OH MY GOOOD I LOVE PS2 MEMORY CARDS
For someone that plays a lot of Sonic you sure are slow.
you’re too slow
Good.
Now beat Sonic 06
What if I sold Sonic 06 last week? I couldn’t see that game on my shelf anymore, it killed me as a kid.
But I’m about to finish Sonic Adventure 2.
Also Ralph, try to play a whole game 4 times, you’ll see how annoying it is. You’ll probably give up at the second time.
But still, Sonic Heroes is a masterpiece that followed me through my childhood.
Sonic Heroes 2 for 2017. PLEASE SEGA.
SEGA, DO Δ°T
You have no idea what Sonic Heroes really is to me, you don’t have the same feeling Berke.
Δ° knuw…
Sooooo, i will repeat the thing that i always say
CSGO>All Sega games
Oh you mean you kept losing your save files?
No, there’s 4 teams with a different story, but the levels remains the same.
But I also lost my save file twice because there wasn’t enough space on my memory card.
Wow. Selling Sonic merchandise.
And I thought you were a fan.
He isnt
Why would I keep a game that I wouldn’t be able to play? It’s no use so I sold it.
Also, I think I have a Genesis cartridge of Sonic 2 somewhere.
If you sell Sonic 2 you’re evil.
Of course I’ll not sell it, this is way too rare and beautiful.

Oh. A screenshot.
Hehhehehe
Thats what you get for removing hats
BRING THE HATS BACK!
Yee
Hats were too OP.
But it does look weird without them…
Hats are too OP in TF2
VOLVO PLS FΔ°X
I demand s fez hat!
But,on a more serious note,there REALLY needs to be a transparency feature for sticknodes.Because if it is a multiple colored background,how would anyone be able to simulate a fade out effect?Plus,it’s basically impossible to simulate water.
