I was just wondering, since Newgrounds says that you can only use assets you made, but there are a lot of movies with gmod/hl2 assets in them. I just wanna know whether or not you can use them, or you just can't use stuff that people made on the workshop. Thanks!

I know I know, but, do people still call this medium "machinima" to this day?

No. Not unless you're old or have adopted the tongue of the old.

Yes, as long as it has obvious originality and effort put into it

Honestly a big fucking bummer the creator is apparently (!!!) locked out of their own creations. Skibidi Toilet was dogshit but it was man-made dogshit.


I prefer my weird dumb kids' entertainment MADE. BY. MAN

Skibidi toilet is fine, its kind of stupid mindless entertainment, it watches like a Micheal Bay movie most of the time.

Yeah, probably should've used a less strong word than dogshit. I did watch it back when it was still in its peak for curiosity sake and it was surprisingly just okay, though the constant powerscaling got pretty tiring.


I had and still have no qualms regarding children watching it. I spent a good portion of my life religiously watching ExplodingTNT, and other people were watching TF2 SFMs and Gmod videos that were maybe equally if not more nonsensical, which was why I gravitated towards calling the series "weird dumb kids' entertainment". I honestly kind of mean that in an affectionate way
