Just renewed the domain today. (Was a day behind it)
Any visitors out there to the site just bare with the stupid GoDaddy crap till all is back to normal.
Thanks for your patience. Have a good day.

Well I'm posting I guess I'll give a shout out to Tom.
Thanks for linkin'/mentioning The Duders a few news posts ago. Much appriatiated.
Also, thanks to those who vote, review, and/or continue to watch.

Sup? :3

DING - updated some of the site. Enjoy tryin' to get in my head.

So I've been havin' fun screwin' 'round lately. Sat there the other day and drew myself up this weird mess of trippy Duder-ness. It has all the characters plus one that hasn't been seen yet and if you can find him - Mr. Bad.

MTCaptain, Val, Elliot, Jay, Scotty, Wolf, Demenius, Johno, and Mr. Bad are the names for the 90% people out there who have no idea of some of which I am speaking to ya'll 'bout.

Exciting news for Duder Entertainment is Kyle Theissen and Jason Midtle are officially back. The original three members are all together with the new ones - pure awesomeness.

MTC has a message for you all.

Been doin' lots of writin' lately but, probably goin' to get bored of that soon.
Expect somethin' neat before the end of the year, unless someone can motivate me.

Love to The Flash 'Reg' Lounge and all the cool cats who visit it.

Neat Fact: Their are 21 Duder Shorts - ol'school ones to the new style.
How many have you seen?

Jokin' - though they'd be fun to play with and probably make good convorsation.

So I heard the Newgrounds War and thought it was pretty interesting. Made me jealouse as fuck I didn't get an invitation to it but, then again I can understand why I wasn't invited well enouph. Anyway I suggest you guys check it out cause a few of those crazy peeps made some dang good points and said some things as best as they can be said. Personally I think NG will be fine. As a great man once said - "It is darkest before the dawn." - meaning shits going to get shitty-er and hit the fan before it gets shiney and evolves into something wonderful for everyone.

As for my opinion on the artists here... they're all a great bunch and it's the variety of different values and norms each has which make 'em some a great group. Zekey and Rtil probably are my fav personalities I've seen here though. Ego seems like a goof but, I'd totally love to party with him cause he seems like fun. And if Hans really is gay I'm going to hug the bastard.

To be blunt... I haven't found anyone artist I don't like on NG. I'd love to smoke a joint with all of 'em! :D

Also my emails Derek_Vandenberg[at]hotmail.com
I need more peoples on MSN to talk too. The Chinese police fucked over my last e-buddy. :C

RANDOM NEWS: Got my webcam working, makin' game docs for new duder games, and found myself a beautiful girl.

This blog post totally had a point and was going somewhere I think, but I forgot and am just ramblin' and gotta run to catch my next uni class. Peace guys!

First things first... ya'll should totally check out Smoking Frog - one of my new favorite bands.
The bass player Michael is a cool dude and me and him smoked up just a few hours back and talked about Stoner Rock.

Secondly if you haven't I strongly suggest you check out DuderEntertainment.com. Their's quite a bit to read if your not busy and the forums are always an interesting place.

Thirdly I'm almost a minute and 45 secs into Duders Ep2. I'm goin' to probably buy and drink 5 or 6 rockstar energy drinks one night soon and nearly kill myself with a 12 hour animation marathon. I'm a stoner - I'm suppose to be lazy, why'd I have to be an animator: one of the most hardest working jobs in this world! Well... it's a good thing animations fun as fuck.

Don't forget about Cute Madness 2! I think I'll make one every madness day and see where they go.

Ya, so Tom get that Duders Series page ready because I think I'm going to rape the portal with Duder shorts and eventually an actual episode.

Open minded animation is great.

This may be stupid to plug but, Mindchambers art is orgasmic. I wish I could shade like him. :C

Alright... I'm dry which is bitch around bedtime. Here's a weird lil' pic a drew last summer on corel painter or some shit like that. Night NG.

The Duders may be shit without a story right now but, I'm going to bring my baby to life one day soon.

Update: Oh right... DING!
I was in one of my local papers. So does this make me a Marijuana Activist now?

DING!

Rather interesting...

It's neat.
CLICK ME! >:C ( I had absolutely no part in this - still a cool game though. )

Ya... I didn't have anything good really to post... ya...
Well I'm going to find something mind altering. Peace NG!

(Sorry guys. Hehe, couldn't resist.)

Ummmmm.......... Duders is goin' good. Here's a lame screeny from the intro in Ep2.
Yup. My names bigger then the title - I get to rub my small but lovely lil' ego too sometimes I guess.

But, as long as the everyday man and women can still ask "Why?" - we still hold the true power.

Life is samples of lively memories granted reasonable colour.

Once fun dies it morphs the smile.
Once love dies it morphs the heart.

Don't just imagine peace - live it!

Anyone ever saw or perhaps remember this from last Madness Day? :3

I don't know guys - Madness Day '08 is comin'........... I just don't know......
This year is going to be pretty nuts.

(I should be focusing on The Duders, but who cares right?)

The History Of The Mullet

From age 1 to 12 I had lovely blonde shaggy hair, however I hated the bangs so I get a classic army style flat top. At 14 I started growing it again and had a long haired rocker look. I eventually went in to a hair dresser one day and got the bangs cut - walked out and didn't even realize I had a mullet.

After that I supported the mullet for a good 4 years (5 if you count its growing process)
I had a short mullet, a shaggy mullet, spiked mullet, bit of momullet (mullethawk - mullet + mohawk), and a completely insane super mullet near the end.

The mullet was the source of a lot of jokes and convorsation with my friends both off and online. Funny lil' characters like "The Mullet King" spawned which brought smiles and confusion. Val - the character I voice on the Duders has a killer mullet too.

Though the mullet never was as popular as Tom's beard or anything - it still had a damn good run dispite not having any flash tributes made. The song Mr. Mullet-Man would be the peak of it's popularity I guess. I was mentioned in the Flash Reg Lounge Song too. The reg lounge is sweet and I'm still loved without the mullet.

Oh, so ya... it was cut by my ex-girlfriend from high school who I've been hanging out with a lot lately. :3

Pics for proof.

Somewhere along the lines I went from uploading flash on NG for fun in hopes of sharing some laughs... to caring more about the judgement the NG people cast on me, dreams of making it big on the internet, and overall my rep.

But ya know what? I've dealt with lots of shit and am alright. It's about the laughs - not fans, money, ratings, and scores. It's about the fuckin' laughs. >:3

I had to go back to my hometown and get my sis to force me to party hard to remember that.
