Hey, I know you like to share your work and stuff but, could you please stop spamming? This is getting annoying.

Fite me now m8. u can’t run or hide m8, that’s gr8 m8 imma r8 8/8 m8. FUDGING DAMNIT 8s! But in all seriousness, I am the one who made that CapPop vs Glow trailer vid. :3

https://youtu.be/lELxR0k_218
(Dat’s my upload)
Den here’s Glowey’s upload. He even put up a comment that CapPop made it (which is me lol)
https://youtu.be/LcVK473fYPA
Oh jeez, you ain’t dat One Sneaky Bird. Lol. But enjoy the same goddamn vid. lol
He has no arms.
Why.
That’s his character. And “He”‘s a her. Lol
Cool but why no arms?
because not everyone needs arms
He! Can you help me? I’m trying to download stick nodes pro but it keeps saying error please try again. First I checked if it was my wifi and it wasn’t so I checked my Google play ballance and that wasn’t it either so I checked to see if it was my storage but that wasn’t it… idk if I need to delete the free version of stick nodes to get it and if not I don’t want to delete it for no reason.
That’s odd, but I don’t think there’s much I can do. That’s not really a Stick Nodes-specific thing, it’s more just a general Android issue.
What is telling you about the error? Google Play is showing you that message?
Omg sir I am so sorry for wasting your time right after I posted this comment it worked I’m so sorry!!!!
Lol, it’s no problem.
I changed my picture because I’m bored I might change it to something else later MAYBE
The background is too dark blue.
Guys I made a stick nodes vegeta gt since, it’s taking long to get to the website I made a link to it on media fire here vegeta gt: http://www.mediafire.com/?ktbg97gz9jxn7h9
You should post a picture too so people will be more inclined to download it.
He better not have a mustache.
Can you add a feature that you can add instant animations, but still be able to do your own. The instant animations in the background please! Not for pro, for everyone!
Instant animations?
Time for my daily thing.
Spidöh-man.
Seriously.
Well, he’s the only one following the rule, once per day.
Spidöh-Man
How do I upload a animation to YouTube?
Spidöh-Man and ralph can you upload my vegeta gt to the site?
They will upload it if it’s good enough, it takes time.
Here’s how it looks.
Please, do not mind the Bowser stickfigure at the very left, I’m not going to continue it, and probably delete it.

thanks for downloading my stick. Should I make a gt trunks?
No offense Cameron, but I hate to say I probably wouldn’t upload that, as all you did was take the Vegeta stickfigure and delete his armor.
As for this Bowser, I would like to see more.
http://i.imgur.com/B6z4nq2.png
That’s looking really good, what the problem is?
For some reason this got me thinking I’d want to see a “normal” stickfigure version of Bowser. Almost like a normal guy with Bowser-like armor, so not necessarily so big and bulky.
Idk I just think that’s look cool.
I also like it, but the problem is I won’t have enough nodes to make the eyes (I also forgot the horns, If I decide to continue this stick again, i’ll add them lul), and when the jaw is open, it looks weird, it’s like a part of his face is inside his mouth (It’s shown on the picture)
A stickfigure with a “Bowser armor”, eh?
Interesting, I’ll try to make one.
Yeah I see what you’re saying about the mouth thing, you’ll just have to go over the green with a mouth-color though and you’ll be good.
I’ll be waiting for Bowser Armor Guy any day now.
Hey BobMan, check out the FAQ section here.
:/ ok
I don’t know too.
Is there any page on this website that let’s me post what the hell i’m working on? Animation Alpha is getting a bit trashed because of the thousands of spam accounts.
Lol. I got a story going on for
Th3 Game | Movie

Now, if only I had a way to show you all the screenshots for what I have now. Does html codes work for us users? Like Text here?
I might make a page for that to help clean up some of the nonsense in the comments, good idea.
I don’t think you can embed images, but some HTML things work like the link tag you used. You should put all of the images into an imgur album and then just post a link to that.
Also Sean really needs to be hit and clean up his site, or really just take the forums down.
That was a beautiful story though, you should make it into a children’s show! Eating bullets and everything!
😀 Children’s show! Definitely. All episodes will be about an hour long all about eating bullets!
Pls add a opacity button,cause I’m so sick at fading using colors
Yee.
V NEED DAT
He Can’t add an opacity setting, it’s too CPU-intensive for a mobile device.
Though, I don’t get why onion skins can be transparent but we can’t change the transparency of Sticks.
Probably something about being able to move the stick or manually be able to change it, I don’t know.
Oh crap, Bio is on to me.
I hope it will happen
Hey, please, i very like this app, but i very upset cause i cant buy the pro version so i cant add sound… Will you please add sound section for free version??? at least, please add “import sound” fiture, just that… Pleaassseeeee.. Think bout us who cant buy premium ver.
I understand your problem, I know all about it when I was younger too. But I’m sorry, sounds are a big reason many people go to Pro, which earns me some money, which allows me to continue working on the app.
I know that too, when you can’t buy something and your parents don’t want.
I think they were right, I regret Sonic 06 so much.
