BIG DAY TODAY!! Everyone must read!

Posted by Appsro May. 29, 2009 @ 8:53 AM EDT

Helloooo Newgrounds!!

Today is a big day for me and for anyone that enjoys my animation and sense of humor. My new show "Apocalypse Lane" priemeres TODAY at NOON over at The Escapist.

escapistmagazine.com

One episode will priemere every week and I will be producing a total of 48 episodes! Hopefully many more if the series is a hit.

I owe alot to Newgrounds and all the people who supported my cartoons because it was you guys who helped me land this sweet gig. i will continue to support this site and I hope you guys will continue to support me by watching the show and showing it to all of your friends, grandmothers, and creepy uncles.

So remember, every Friday at noon at escapistmagazine.com be sure to tune in and check out the latest episode of Apocalypse Lane.

May. 29, 2009 | 10:03 AM Appsro responds:

May. 29, 2009 | 10:14 AM disturbed-guy-666 says:

May. 29, 2009 | 10:23 AM Pacmanic says:

May. 29, 2009 | 11:18 AM Appsro responds:

Oh god no. Were on episode 5.

May. 29, 2009 | 10:31 AM UncleJumbo says:

Congrats man! I'm sure your new series will be a BIG hit. It's awesome that you're getting to do what you love.

May. 29, 2009 | 11:19 AM Appsro responds:

Thanks man. :)

May. 29, 2009 | 10:45 AM JonBro says:

Darn you. I thought you were going to say "TODAY THE MOVIE 'UP' IS IN THEATERS"

May. 29, 2009 | 11:18 AM Appsro responds:

That too. i can't wait to see that. :)

May. 29, 2009 | 11:23 AM Wraith2000 says:

I fucking love Renegade Awesome.

May. 29, 2009 | 12:07 PM Nogfish says:

ARE YOU A SHAPESHIFTER OF SORTS?

May. 29, 2009 | 12:42 PM hansari says:

48 episodes is a lot! How did you guys come to agree that was the right number to see if this show was gonna be a hit?

And once your over that hump, and your popularity proves true, does that mean you'll get a contract for much longer (like 1000 episodes)?

May. 29, 2009 | 12:48 PM Appsro responds:

I dont know about 1000, but doing more episodes would be great.

May. 29, 2009 | 1:15 PM mo4form says:

You're a fat piece of shit and I hate you.
I'm not hatin' yo

May. 29, 2009 | 1:53 PM fallensoul289 says:

Awesome man but it was not as funny as your other stuff.

May. 29, 2009 | 3:38 PM Appsro responds:

Yeah, admitedly episode 1 isnt the best one. keep watching though, the next few are really good.

May. 29, 2009 | 1:56 PM ReignOfHell says:

That was amazing. I actually couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. Something about it seemed to beckon me back to the time when I played Fallout and what have you. I don't think that's the point of Apocalypse Lane, but I enjoyed the hell out of it anyway.

May. 29, 2009 | 2:49 PM ChadsWeb says:

It's pretty cool, the Escapist almsot has a weekly episode of some sort of show on there almost every day.

Good job, reminded me a lot of the type of stuff you'd see on Adult Swim.

(You should make the voice louder than the guitar though, in the beginning theme thing)

May. 29, 2009 | 3:38 PM Appsro responds:

Yeah, we're still ironing out the begingin music.

May. 29, 2009 | 4:44 PM Mr-No-Name says:

I was just there and saw it. I could tell it was you as soon as I saw it, your art style is so unique.

Great job landing it with the Escapist!

May. 29, 2009 | 5:00 PM VidGameDude says:

That was perfect for adult swim.........i mean it......

l8s

May. 29, 2009 | 5:41 PM Yiffy says:

Good animation and all, but the humor is kinda cheesy in this one. I prefer the style being used in PM and mad mad mario.

May. 29, 2009 | 6:32 PM vecraude says:

This is quite possably the best news ive had all day!

your a great animator and the humor is just priceless XD im glad that I can now see a weekly dose of your flashes woot!

May. 29, 2009 | 7:00 PM TheBoogley says:

Yes sir, I loved it! :D

May. 29, 2009 | 7:02 PM HandsomeWarrior says:

Pretty good!
How long do you spend on an episode? It's gotta be a bit stressful animating to a deadline :O

May. 29, 2009 | 7:02 PM insane250 says:

Very Very funny! I loved it =)! Keep it up=)! But i'm so happy you started renegade awesome haha! I loved the 3 first animations ^^

May. 29, 2009 | 8:41 PM oryozema says:

Congrats mate, lol things are looking rather good for you eh?

May. 29, 2009 | 9:04 PM JoshF81 says:

XD OMFG that cat is AWESOME XD

May. 30, 2009 | 4:37 AM carbonwater says:

How'd you enjoy that movie of mine that you did voices for?

Jun. 3, 2009 | 7:01 PM Appsro responds:

I enjoyed it very much thank you. :)

Jun. 3, 2009 | 4:55 PM Loney03DK says:

Haha, no way. My friend and I were watching There Will Be Brawl, and every time we'd start a new episode, we'd hear the Apocalypse Lane theme and laugh every time as it was a great change of mood from something more serious like TWBB.

I'll have to give it a look sometime. ;)

Jun. 3, 2009 | 9:58 PM kibas-cool says:

CONGRATULATIONS!!! the first one was mainly funny in the end, you have pretty good animation here, looks like its gonna go well ^_^

Jun. 4, 2009 | 12:32 AM K0Nx says:

yay I will watch all

Jun. 4, 2009 | 1:01 PM Arkuni says:

Totally jalous! Kudos to you sir :~)

Did they contact you or the other way around.. ?
It just seem off for the Escapist to feature something that isn't really game related.

Jun. 4, 2009 | 8:15 PM acejammer says:

I didn't even know that was made by you until recently, the type of humor did ring ring a bell though. The users over at the escapist don't seem to really share your type of humor, I've seen some negative comments there, good luck though.

Jun. 5, 2009 | 1:11 AM LtMcMuffin says:

I saw that the other day on the Escapist... I should have known it came from a Newgrounds user.
Congratulations, it has a lot of potential!

Jun. 5, 2009 | 4:55 PM Mookle12 says:

that was everything I tthough it would be and more! that was lots better then charlie the unicorn or any other famous flashes! that was hillarious! My favorite characters are the gay zombie and cuddles
