Yu-Gi-Oh, Hunter S Thompson, and ONEY2012

Posted by RicePirate - April 2nd, 2012

First off ... best wishes to Edd, his family, and friends. While I'm not religious, I sincerely hope that there is a better place after life, and if so, that Edd is sharing his creativity and passion there ... as much as he did here on Earth.

In the light of such an event, sharing idle news about personal projects seems so hollow, but I think most people will agree, that of all people, Edd wouldn't have wanted his passing to be a cause for a creative stand-still.

So ... here's some stuff ...

------------------------
YU-GI-OH ZEXAL
------------------------
I voice the old man, Roku, is episodes 15 & 16. The episodes aired a couple weeks ago, but still haven't been posted to Hulu. However, you can catch the episodes here:

Episode 15
Episode 16

While it appears lots of folks have mixed feelings about 4Kids, I have to say, despite what executive decisions they've made, the folks that work at the NYC office/studio are really awesome people, and I'd count myself lucky to work with them again.

Still completely lost in terms of how the game is played.

---------------------------------
HUNTER S THOMPSON
---------------------------------
Most folks here are probably too young to even know who the hell he is. If you've seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas ... it's about him. He was a drug-addict, writer, and had a fetish for machinery and guns.

For a sound test for ProTools10, I asked a college friend of mine to write a short piece in the style of HST.

This is the result of our collaboration : Nando's Girl

---------------
ONEY2012
---------------
The bubble has kinda burst on the whole the KONY2012 debate.
But the battle against Chris O'Neill ... has just begun.

ONEY2012

Noses.

Nando's Girl makes my pants happy.

RicePirate 2012-04-02 18:02:29

she's a dirty slut, what can i say.

RedMongoose 2012-04-02 18:11:58

save the noses

RicePirate 2012-04-02 18:11:58

if only it were that easy.

DingoWalleyStudio 2012-04-02 18:54:43

Congrats Ricey! I personally don't watch Anime, but it's cool that your getting work and what not :D

RicePirate 2012-04-02 18:54:43

I don't watch much either ... everytime I suggest it, my wife gets pissed. She thinks all anime is porn.

deathink 2012-04-02 18:59:19

ONEY 2012---
this video touched me in a place I could only describe if I had a doll to point it out on!

RicePirate 2012-04-02 18:59:19

known of my dolls have wieners ... so they're pretty useless.

deathink 2012-04-02 19:04:41

BTW Nando's Girl is fucking awesome!

RicePirate 2012-04-02 19:04:41

THANKS

Jonimator 2012-04-02 19:13:29

Hahaha now Oney2012, that's a cause I can finally get behind.
Especially with all the repeating whispering voices.. ...repeating whispering voicess..

RicePirate 2012-04-02 19:13:29

thanks man .... (...thanks mannnnn....)

Kirbopher 2012-04-02 19:56:25

WHAT ABOUT MY NOSE, HUH!?

RicePirate 2012-04-02 19:56:25

you got too many nose, dude

Gianni 2012-04-02 21:11:33

Gonna go buy merchandise in the NG store until this problem finally goes away.

RicePirate 2012-04-02 21:11:33

can't wait for out animation to come out

MindChamber 2012-04-02 21:18:27

Thats awesome on the sweet gig man, congrats.

RicePirate 2012-04-02 21:18:27

I miss it :(

FrozenFire 2012-04-02 21:35:55

I think it's pretty funny that even the voice actors have no fuckin clue what's going on in that show.
Hahaha

Well anyways man I was going to tell you on skype last night " gj on Nando's girl " but you were busy so I kept it nice and quiet for you ;)

RicePirate 2012-04-02 21:35:55

quiet like a fox, you

ForNoReason 2012-04-02 21:49:23

Oney must be stopped

RicePirate 2012-04-02 21:49:23

You know how it is. Take him down, others will step up .... ZACHHHH!!!

Swackman 2012-04-02 23:23:46

Even if ZeXal is the worst-written clusterfuck in YGO's history, I still offer my congrats on the role. And no, it has nothing to do with 4Kids for once (even if I still don't like the company); the original really is that bad.

RicePirate 2012-04-02 23:23:46

Thanks!

bigjonny13 2012-04-03 02:03:20

You got my comment on facebook about your Hunter impression?

RicePirate 2012-04-03 02:03:20

That was you! Gah, yes !

ElectroJoe 2012-04-03 13:33:07

yea! the debate begins to heat up! though there seems to be some evidence that oney did have alliances with the noses at one point between 2009 and 2010 (the fred cartoon and fyat) but something seems to have changed around 2011...

RicePirate 2012-04-03 13:33:07

CHANGE!!!!!

bocodamondo 2012-04-03 19:36:12

lets buy random super expensive crap to stop ONEY!

RicePirate 2012-04-03 19:36:12

not random! Booze and condoms! GO!

I-smel 2012-04-03 20:58:49

I'm suprised it took someone this long to make something called "ONEY 2012".

And yea it's a real shame and kind of puts a downer on what everyone's doing in terms of cartoons n stuff- a tragedy like that always feels like it came out of nowhere even though it was kind of building up for a long time, I guess. The best we can ask is that people are inspired by what's there, and everyone can elegantly accept the truth that Yu-Gi-Oh fucking sucks.

But congrats anyway! Job's a job, lol

RicePirate 2012-04-03 20:58:49

They just have so many spin-offs.... if i didn't know what was going on before ... i'm really confused now.

Neophyte-Ronin 2012-04-03 21:30:43

Edd ain't pissed about your success. I'm not pissed about your success. You're not pissed about your success. Everyone's happy. But why the fuck must Oney suffer? No noses? Fuck that.

There are worse abuses out of Oney. For one, he makes Satan look like a total joke. That's absolute garbage. Satan is a total asshole and still owes me fifty bucks. And another, Oney doesn't submit enough music (he has better and more consistent talent in composing than animating). Still, he did bring up the problems with Machinima.com's contracts and helped raise scrutiny over the Kony twenty-twelve gig after he, that's right, submitted a SOUNDTRACK to psychicpebble's recent entry that derailed the whole matter. In other words, Oney is multifaceted in terms of talents but doesn't seem to want to develop them further or find a niche where he can develop material on a professional basis. Fuck the noses--that's a stylistic trope.

Wait a minute... didn't you collaborate with psychicpebble on that fucking thing?

Anyway, Oney is a pretty cool guy and I happen to look up to him. He doesn't seek approval or authorization, he just went and did it. What balls. I'm not going to just bend over and buy stupid merchandise to have him banned from Newgrounds or some dipshit stuff like that. I'd rather just ask him to practice drawing noses, as they can be very expressive of a character's personality.

I was researching (at random) Hunter S. Thompson the other day. One of the famous excerpts from "Fear and Loathing" (in Las Vegas) is a capsule summary of the hippie zeitgeist. It's called the Wave Speech, and it's a resigned recollection of that time and an indicator of where its scope had ended. It's hard to say whether it is a good thing or not--depends on your impression of hippies and the mainstream culture, which is more evil or stupid--but hey, it's one of the best pieces of prose about reminiscence from any author I've read.

Anyway, keep up the good work. It's plain that it's not going to die down anytime soon, only act as though it will so you'll stay on top, okay?

RicePirate 2012-04-03 21:30:43

u crazy

I-smel 2012-04-03 23:15:04

yea that's one thing, actually, you could come up with funnier things to say about Oney.

RicePirate 2012-04-03 23:15:04

Oney and Kony. Noselessness and the facial mutilation of Ugandan children. IRA and LRA. Invisible Noses and Invisible children... At the end of the day there were so many parallels , that finding the funniest thing about Chris wasn't the point.

Steinberg 2012-04-04 06:49:27

So many weird hairs on YuGiOh. Also, motorcycles? Weird, it's like YuGiOh with racing!

Also, you nailed the jokes on the Oney thing. Good job!

RicePirate 2012-04-04 06:49:27 (Updated 2012-04-04 09:50:17)

The Japanese have a thing for hair.

Steinberg 2012-04-04 08:14:49

Oh, and good job on the YuGiOh dubbing too, of course!
