First of all Happy New Year! I will start this update by letting you know about the slight re-organisation of the site that I'm planning to do gradually. It mostly involves cutting out some of the unused pages and combining all the Flash 'movies' and 'games' onto the one 'Flash' page, which allows me to have the 'movies' page for the different kind of movie, as in the filmed variety, of which I uploaded several onto YouTube in 2007, yet I did not have anywhere to link permanently to on barnoproductions. I'm also planning to (finally) upload the 'Premiere Trilogy' videos on to YouTube, but I need to convert the file types first, which may take a while, and I'm going to tidy up the art page a bit more and also link to the Atrioventricular site, the legendary guitarspank alternative rock band of which I'm involved with.
Now for news of the first Flash release of 2008, which comes in the form of a skit I did on my laptop on a car journey. It's the 21st bpX: Skit and I think it captures some of the SCPUK 'controlled randomness' in it's content. Enjoy!
It's been a while, but I've returned to find the site has had over 700,000 visits, which is always good news. Reflecting back on the year so far, I think I would've liked to have updated the site more but it has been a busy work-related year, so next year I will give it a better shot at updating it.
I have however been filming a lot more and putting stuff on YouTube, so I'll hopefully get round to making a page with links to the videos soon, including a whole series of random comedy sketches called 'Stop Talking "BS"', which makes good viewing. For the mean time you can watch the videos here.
Hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and New Year!

"My Little Toasticles"
Sweet Wendy Kumar! Two updates in one month! Next you'll be telling me Atrioventricular have finished their debut album. What? They almost have? Well, maybe (minor) miracles do happen, and here is one in the form of a decent length Flash movie. The last new Flash I made was back in March (the 'Mama It's The End Of The World' was posted most recently but I made it a while before), and I thought "come on Barno, surely you can muster up something to keep your site and SCPUK going?"
My answer to that somewhat rhetorical question was to start drawing some animated toast in a toaster, in what became 'My Little Toasticles'. There were times when I thought I should give up on Flash all together, because I have to much to do, but I strived on here and there, and with really quite a short time of overall work I finished a movie clocking in at over 2 minutes.
It may not be the best movie I have ever made, but it may transpire to be one of the most important in terms of the continuum of the Smoking Chimney and barnoproductions bandwagon. I hope you enjoy it.
Also, 'Stop Talking BS' numbers 4 and 5 are out now on YouTube!
And a random page view total: 684,330.
Hello again, and although it has been a long time, I have been working on a video project titled 'Stop Talking "BS"', which basically entails myself and buddy "Spizer" filming everyday situations and sketches, which I then edit down into under 10 minute episodes for YouTube. There are currently 3 episodes, and there are links to them below. I now may make a videos page on the site to link to all the videos I have on YouTube, including the Atrioventricular music videos. I also recommend viewing the videos using the little minimizer button on the video, to make the picture smaller, yet clearer :)
Good news for any of you (very few) people who were waiting for me to do anything, dear God, anything in
Flash and release it. I've been working on a little impromptu animation starring two pieces of toast, which should be released soon. I'm off to university soon, but some of the bigger projects I've had in line are still set to be produced, so hang on in there, it'll be something to look forward to.
After a busy exam period in June, I have returned with an update for July, albeit the last day of the month. Of the projects in the pipeline, I will try to get one done over the summer, hopefully './/uppercut ZERO', the turned-based fighting game with tongue-in-cheek moves and characters. Since the last update, Newgrounds have given me and the rest of SCPUK a nice new layout for our profile page, which I have updated. It contains lots of facts and information about our Flash releases there over the years and can be viewed here. Also I've been filming quite a bit over the summer so far, randomly but also for Atrioventricular music videos, including completing a video for a track from the 'Hidden Wonders of AV' collection, entitled 'Roadsweeper Tim'. There's a mock-umentary on the subject of Dan, Minister of Disguise in SCPUK, buying some new trousers. I hope you enjoy the 2 videos and hopefully I'll update with a skit or something before the release of './/uZ', although I'm off for a week to Norway. Until then, thanks for visiting the site, and if you're looking for something to do, 'SMASH!: Reloaded' is always a good challenge.
Oooh! You could also look on my deviantart page, which I made for no reason other than to have a place to display a few of my drawings 'n' stuff. They even let me have the username 'barno', giving me a nice URL of 'barno.deviantart.com'. Splendid. Finally, I've read the final Harry Potter book and it is the best book I've ever read, and I've read many good books. It just has everything and is an epic finale to the whole series and definitely worth a read. Don't believe any of the poncy sceptics writing reviews for newspapers who consider themselves above the books, because no one can be above a book that is so full of lessons and morals, as well as being a cracking story.
The May Update! Been very busy with college work for final exams and other things too, but had time to put together these two videos, one of an explosion of potassium and water, and the other of a classmate of mine eating an octopus. Take care mis amigos, and by the end of June I should have more time to bang on with some toons/games.
"It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"
The April update comes right at the end of the month, and features a short clip featuring Son and Mama Jones at the apocalypse, which was made a while ago, but might as well go up on the site, as I didn't want to rush anything else just to make this update. I'll put a link to it on the Flash page at a later date, and this may mean I need to do a 'Mama I'm...' series page, since that makes 4 related movies on the site. Will there be another? We just don't know. In other news, I have some important exams coming up soon, so updates will remain few until the summer, where I hope to nail a few big projects.
An here is an update for the month that I like to call 'March'. This month I bring the 20th barnoproductions experimentation (bpX) skit, which is an animation to a strange song entitled 'A Rabbit On Crack' remixed a bit to form 'Barno's Wacked Out Remix '07'. Basically it's a very old experimental tune by Atrioventricular, where I just spontaneously played some keyboard in an irregular fashion, and deemed it sounded like 'a rabbit prancing around... but on crack', thus the name. I hope you enjoy, and I'll update again soon, but you can always check the forum and leave me a message there if you want to say how great this skit is or how you hate it and want to boil me up with some tagliatelle...
The February update comes (exactly a month after the January update, almost to the hour), maintaining my plan to update at least once a month with some new content. This time I bring you the nineteenth bpX Skit (the next one is the big 20), which is entitled "It's Science, Fool". The irony is that it really isn't very scientific, for if it was the chemical world would turn on its head. Stay tuned for more soon!
That's right! Although it's not as amazing as a man juggling Argos catalogues on a flaming unicycle going over K2, it is still quite pleasing. Thanks once again for all your visits! Happy New Year to you all too, and I hope to keep the site running and up to date with new animations and games throughout 2007. In fact, here is the first small thing of 2007, in the form of
a bpX skit - a short test about your knowledge of bar charts, those charts you love to hate! Sounds bizarre, is bizarre - you get it exactly what it says on the tin.
To wish you a great festive time, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year too, a show with random festive bits, as well as a look back on SCPUK's 2006 calendar, is here for you to watch - hosted by Azlan the parody lion!
Wooo! Well I decided a year without SMASH! was a year without crazy quiz games with random violence and bizarre characters, so taking this into account, the only thing I could do was make a SMASH! with some comical gore and a character that was created as a hybrid of a snake and some toast... I give you the new highly festive 'Merry ChriSMASH! 2'! Enjoy the Christmas season and become this year's festive SMASH! edition's champ!
IA short update and the first in December. I've done another Skit, this time it's #17, entitled "The Tale O' <Name> & The <Item>". Basically you can select and name your character and item and then watch as the story unfolds around them! A bit random but surely after 'bpX: Mama I'm Pregnant' anything is possible...
In the month o' frosty November the web seems to have frozen, and this site being no exception. So to thaw the ice a bit, here are two new Skits. Although, as you know, the skits are never aiming to be top quality animations, it should give you something to watch for a few minutes. Also, everyone's favourite indescribable-genre-defying band, Atrioventricular, featuring myself, Tommy and Arthur from SCPUK, as well as two other cool members, has made a short 'behind the music video'. You can watch that on YouTube, where there is also a video for a computer-made digital-groove song, 'The Official Ironing Soundtrack, Part 2'. Finally don't forget to check out the forum and post whatever you like there.
The sequel to "Vending Vendetta", aptly named "Vending Vendetta II", has been completed and is now on the site. The game features 6 stages with 3 difficulty settings, and 12 special moves to really get your revenge on those machines! Also, for the first time, thanks to ArmorBot, there are online high scores for the game, adding the extra sense of competition! So do your worst, because this a vending vendetta...
"BACON? 2: Requiem" is now on barnoproductions. I have also updated the Flash menu with its addition. I hope you enjoy it, in all its shotgun, rocket propelled grenade, tractor, 'Rambo', mop, 'Superade' vengeance.
On another note, I have fixed several Flash pages that weren't working on barnoproductions, but 'bpX: Mama Impossible III' and 'In A Nutshell: Part Deux' are currently down. I will fix them shorty.
Arguably the moment that was the renaissance of barnoproductions and the fortification of SCPUK as we know it occured back in autumn 2004, with the release of 'BACON?: Farmer Vs. Pig'. A follow-up was never on the cards until April 2005, when it was announced as a SCPUK project. However, after being in the production process for 15 months, the sequel "BACON? 2: Requiem" has been released.
I hope everyone that watches it enjoys it, and I will put it on the site tomorrow morning - but for now you can watch it on Newgrounds :)
The 500,000 mark was passed a few days ago, and I was very pleased when I saw my stats. Thanks to everyone that has visited barnoproductions in the site's 2-year history.
On the Flash front, the main project for a long time now has been 'BACON? 2', provisionally called 'The Farmer Strikes Back'. I have done a lot of work on it recently and I am still aiming for the 31st as my finishing deadline.

Fourteen... and "AD #5" !!?!???
Well, firstly, I have done a fourteenth skit, entitled 'The Conspiracy', about the mysteriousness surrounding the name that is 'James Spicer'. WATCH BPX: SKIT 14 - "THE CONSPIRACY "
However, maybe more surprisingly and much less unexpected, I have completed 'Advertisement #5'. This was not listed as a project in production, and was not in production at all until this morning when I decided it was time. Anyway, this time it involves a giant squirrel, so thus it must be good, no? WATCH ADVERTISEMENT #5
Well, I can't remember the last time I uploaded/finished two Flash productions on the same day... someone can find out for me (lol). Umm... I might as well do a bit of general update too. Page view count - since Feb '05: 488,121 [Today: 662]. The main project being worked on at the moment is 'BACON?: 2', and I really think it will be one of SCPUK's finest works so far - definitely one of mine. There's still a long way to go, but I've got quite a good amount done. After that there's the small matter of '//.uppercut ZERO', 'Elephant Game 4: The Vicissitude of the Flaming Kenneths' and 'SMASH!: XI' to take care of :O Check out the newly updated PROJECTS PAGE for more info.
Also, tomorrow I go on holiday for a week, so there will be no posts from me on the forum or any site updates.
I wanted to experiment with frame by frame animation, for a practice for a future project, that will require a lot of it ;) Anyway, this bpX Skit, number 12, entitled 'ink pen' is completely random. Enjoy! Watch bpX: Skit 12 - "ink pen"

Rage Against The Machine...
I embarked on this project originally due to the general crapiness of the vending machines at my college, and how they either take your money or don't knock the item you want out of the machine. So, in this time-wasting game, "Vending Vendetta", your aim is to knock as much out of the machine as you can and cause it as much damage as you possibly can within the time limit. I'll also be putting it on Newgrounds.
A nice healthy update served with side salad or fries
Well I haven't updated the site for a while, but when the summer comes in, I will be working in a much more concentrated manner on 'BACON? 2', '.// uppercut ZERO', 'Welcome To Crapville' and the many other flash projects I have planned. In the mean time, I have started a little 'Vending Machine' game, which I will finish in the summer, and there is a classic video you don't want to miss - 'Skiing Lessons - With Beaton' - featuring a mate of mine essentially skiing like a fool. I've also had a request to host someone's podcast on my site, which will be done over the summer too. Right now I'm just about to quickly go through all the pages and give them a quick update, maybe add a download or two, update the projects, just to freshen the site up. Thanks for your continuing visits, I think we're nearing 420,000 views.
The 400,000 mark has been reached (sometime on the 20th April '06) - thank you all for visiting - next stop 500,000 (half a million)! Other news; there is a short animation entitled "Crayons", which is an experimental animated video to a song called 'Crayons' by everyone's favourite experimental/alternative rock band, Atrioventricular. Don't complain about the singing :P Also, I did a Newgrounds Alpha for 'BACON? 2: The Farmer Strikes Back'.
Ok... let me think what has been update since last time. I am likely to be very busy until mid-June, as I have exams coming up (again). However, there will be updates, especially on the forum, which is very active with 150+ members, where you can talk about pretty much anything - so sign up now!
Also, there is a trailer for the sequel for 'BACON?: Farmer Vs. Pig', which is being worked on gradually, in a sort of dual combination with '//.uppercut ZERO', so they should be realised about the same time, most likely in the summer.
Ok, um what else... ahh yep, I updated the Flash league, which is now quarterly for the reason that I don't have as much time to update it, and so that a greater change with occur between each league table update. Check out the current standings now!
Also, I have done another skit, #11, which is quite comical, you may wish to watch it, just a 44 second flick! View it here!
And finally, this site has received 395,728 views sinced February 2005, so I guess I'll be doing another update when 400,000 is reached... I predict on the... 19th April... will I be right? Only time will tell... but the TENSION IS MOUNTING!!!
16/03/06 22:12
A few notices ...
I have uploaded 7 new wallpapers onto the downloads page, which I made during my "ICT Keyskills" lesson, where I had nothing I could do. Click 'downloads' from the menu, or click here to open it in a new window. Also, I am working on Flash projects (see the projects page for a list, I am going through this list), but they are taking longer times now, because being at college etc. etc. has extra work and... you get the picture. However, there is a 'basic gameplay' demo of //.uppercut ZERO you can do - playing as Ghosty against Elmore.

Sweet Child O' Mama...
If you'd been quite interested in SCPUK projects, you might have taken a look at the project pages recently. On the SCPUK site it is terribly out of date (sorry!), but the barnoproductions page is quite up to date. So you wouldn't have seen this coming - a third encounter with 'Son' and 'Mama' Jones, Dr. Milky and now Boner the dog, in 'bpX: Mama Impossible III'. Remember, I have never personally 'loved the series', but many others have, so I've kept the same sort of 'aura' of randomness about it.
Well I said this morning I would update soon, and I did, and 4th February 2006 marks the release of the first SCPUK production of the year. It's nothing big or fantastic, just a small skit - watch Skit #10 here. The background music in the main part is by Atrioventricular, a band which I founded.
4/02/06 7:51
Three hundred and fifty thousand :)
As the picture suggests, there have now been 350,000 page views in just under a year (I started the statistics counter on the 5th February 2005), which is great news so I'd like to thank people for visiting this site, the SCPUK site, and our forum. I should be back with another update relatively soon...
24/01/06 7:36
Yep... I'm alive!
Despite the fact that I haven't updated for almost a whole month, in fact since last year, I am still here, but somehow I just forgot to updated for a long time. Anyway, I have quite a few Flash projects in the running but don't expect anything too soon. However, the forum has been really busy, now with over 150 members, and the Band Warfare Cup, a voting tournament to find the forum's top bands of all time - go and sign up to the forum now and vote! Ok, so why haven't I updated 'til now - well in weeks 2 and 3 of January I had exams, so I was focusing on them, and also I was busy on a job making a website. Also I now work Saturdays from the morning, which is when I'd usually doss about and update my site :) Don't fret though, I am working on things....

It's Greg-tastic!
I really hope you enjoy this 8-minute long movie, which sees the appearance of Greg in his own show, 'Greg's Chat: Episode 1' ! Watch it now - Click here!
28/12/05 11:26
Again? Cool!!!
It's unusual to get 50,000 views in 9 days, but that's happened for me and barnoproductions, as the 300,000 visit mark was leapfrogged early this morning.
Also, I hope you all had a groovy Christmas and have a great New Year...
And an update from me: Well I have important exams in January, so expect not much of any improvements, updates 'til the end of that month. Morever, Greg's Chat: Episode 1 - ATWI80S, which was started in April I think, but was cast aside for rather a long time as other Flash projects took priority, is nearing the end of it's production run... look out for it, hopefully sooner rather than later!
24/12/05 19:51
Merry Christmas - EVERYBODY'S HAVING FUN!
A message before I deliver news of this new 2 min 30 second "skit" for you all; over the past few days I've had over 20,000 visitors, so some movies/images may be down with bandwidth problems... thanks for the consideration. And now - bpX: Skit 9 - "Saint Nicked" is here, it's a rather long skit, but I hope you enjoy the adventure!
* MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE!*
19/12/05 8:39
I waited for a thousand years for you to come and blow me out my mind!
This milestone means that this site has had 1/4 million visitors, since February of 2005! I am pretty damn pleased with this statistic, as back when I got my stats thingy, I was thinking by the end of the year I'd have at the most 10,000 page views... so hooray! Thanks for visiting this site and Merry Christmas!
"Merry
ChriSMASH!", the
festive edition of the original quiz show game
series with the famous in-between-round scenes;
this time with between-round MINIGAMES! With lots
of your favourite SCPUK characters in festive dress,
and 25 challenging Christmas questions to get through,
it's certainly a challenge - but with a reward
at the end - entry to the 'Winner's Board' on the
SCPUK forum!

A
new page - Series!
Well, I've had it in the making for
ages, and I've been waiting and waiting, but I've
finally completed the Series page for
this site! You may think 'Why the hell did it take
so long it's just one page!!!!111one', but it was
the main series page, and then a page for the three
series I've including this far: SMASH!, Premiere
Trilogy and a series I've made completely
from scrap over the last two months, bpX
Skits, which are currently 7 short animations!
Whilst
you wait for future SCPUK fruity goodness...
...
Enjoy 'Policeman Bobby', a totally ridiculous 'piece
de resistance' from fellow SCPUK animator
and co-founder Tommy. Click
here to watch it now!

Well, as the image suggests, we've
hit 200,000 visitors on the barnoproductions and
SCPUK site! At 09:31:42 (GMT) this morning, along
came visitor #200,000, which unlike last time is
not a Norwegian, but was none other than Dedsox and insane,
active forum members!
I also updated the Flash League for
October, with SMASH!: Reloaded at #1 for the third
month running. There's also a halloween themed
header!
26/10/05

SMASH!
is officially a series!
Thanks
to Newgrounds.com, my series of quiz show games, SMASH!,
now has a Series
page in the Newgrounds Collections! This
is truly awesome news, as Tom Fulp, creator of
Newgrounds, himself put up the page, which is
a big honour for a flash artist. Thanks to Glaiel_Gamer also,
who made a suggestion that the page should be
made.

OMG!
Tommy has animated something!
Zombie
Time: Episode 1, animated by fellow SCPUK member
Tommy, is here! Not at all based or taken from
'28 Days Later', a zombie virus hits London,
causing havoc. It was a long ride, and after
insisting he added sound effects and ditched
the black outlines for colour outlines and a
lot of tedious work, it's done and you can view
it:
Other
news, I'm now working mainly on 'Greg's Chat:
Ep. 1', with 'BACON? 2' and '//.uppercut ZERO'
to follow! And check
out the SCPUK site!

In
A Nutshell: Part Deux - Gold Edition
Well,
it's been edited so the buttons all work and
given a cool 'gold-coating', and in addition
to 'bpX: Skit #3' being added to the line up
(you'll be hearing more of these Skits soon :P). So
take a dang look - right now! It'll be on
Newgrounds in the near future!
8/10/05

Flash
Update: It's been a long time
since the last time I informed everyone on updates
and projects. In A Nutshell: Part Deux has been
finished, but as soon as I uploaded it to Newgrounds
I noticed a mistake in the back to menu buttons,
causing none of them to work. I will not put
IAN2 up on the site until I've updated and fixed
it, and maybe added a little extra too, making
a 'Gold Edition' or something. Another animation
that is almost finished is a landmark for ']['ommy
and his animating, being his first animation
of decent length and quality since... well ever
:) After taking a look at 'Zombie Time: Episode
1' and giving him a hand, it looks pretty neat,
and now only sound effects need to be added.
General
Update: Well the forum is busy
and active, with lots of topics and posts appearing
daily. 178,789 page views
at this current time. I should make another
update soon, on the Flash pages with IAN2,
the projects page and any other changes.
5/09/05

The site visits hit another big
milestone! At last look, it was just over 155,000
page views, bringing the average page views a day
to 759! In other news in regards this time to Flash
work, I don't know how long it will take to get
through the projects on the projects page, but
I hope to have a few of the done by the end of
this year.

Update:
OMFG!: A Flash Tutorial Released! The
35-section Flash tutorial made by me to help
anyone out there with their Flash making skills
is complete. Ranging from starting out with Flash
and learning the tools to more advanced actionscripting,
this tutorial covers a wide area in detail!
Also,
on another note, the working title for the 4th
Elephant Game is 'EG4: Vicissitude Of The
Flaming Kenneths'.

General
Update: On
the site I haven't been doing too much work,
although you may notice that the links are now
all bold and visited links are slightly darker.
The forum is lively at the moment, with the Music
Knockout Championship #1, which is in the
last-16 (Round 3)! Sign
up there now, because it's getting tense!
On the Flash front, In A Nutshell
2 (a collection of around 10/12
short skits) is picking up speed, with 4 fully
completed skits, and I've uploaded the current
version as it is, with everything but 'Pile O'
Lampoons' and 'Field Of Love' working. That's
going well, as is OMFG!: A Flash
Tutorial, which I have now got
over a third completed.

SMASH!
#10 - "Ye Olde'
SMASH!' - a quiz entirely in monochrome colours,
for a collaboration of games done in only 'White & Black'. Check
it out now on site!
Although SMASH!: Reloaded didn't
win a Newgrounds award, I entered it into a Flash
contest on gamesofgondor.com,
and if it gets a good enough score on Newgrounds,
I could get a winning spot and get a prize! So
vote on SMASH!:
Reloaded on Newgrounds now!
The site statistics counter reached
six-figures... a mighty 100,000 page views since
the 5th February 2005. And as I was online just
a bit after this happened, I was able to find out
a bit of information: the 100,000th visitor
was from Sweden, and was on the site at exactly
17:47:01 GMT today! The visitor viewed the site
through Internet Explorer 6 on Windows 98 with
a screen resolution of 1024x768! Finally, although
it's not surprising due to recent popularity, the
100,000th page that was viewed was the SMASH!:
100 page!
10/07/05
22:46
The
site has been re-vamped! Woooo! It's now wider,
due to requests and it will allow me to fit stuff
in more easily. There is also a search at the bottom
of the page! Take a look around! There are also
new movies, games and reviews pages,
which are so new that the reviews
page is under construction!
28/06/05

Only a few hours ago, barnoproductions
achieved this feat! I'd like to thank everyone
who has visited and supported us, especially
since February 2005, when I got my counter.
Also, I have completed the production
of SMASH!: Vert et Noir! It can be viewed
here!
24/06/05
8:22
SMASH!: 100, my
100 question knockout quiz show game, has been
listed on 4Games on channel4.com! It was recommended
to them, and now my page views have soared to 22,280 and
counting! I had a record 2,842 page
views, 1,685 unique
visitors, 1,531 first
time visitors and 154 returning
visitors in one day on 22/06/05.
Also,
I spent a bit of time on a new side-scrolling
action game - Dangerous
Duck - Project: Inferno. I'd advise
you to look at the detailed demonstrations in
the instructions within the game before starting.
You play as 'Dangerous
Duck' and you must stop 'Prof. Bloody-Stump',
who was featured on the front page here for a
while not that long ago.

After 34
hours and 5 minutes of exams, I'm free!
I can now have more time on the site. What to
do, what to do? Hmm... well I've started on many
of my projects, and almost finished one of them,
and also I started making another production
out of the blue. Statistics update: 15,820

Hi, first update
for a while, should be more frequently updated
from now on.
News: there is now a BRAND
SPANKING NEW SCPUK SITE! Also, the projects
page on bp has been updated, and as always
the forum's going strong, in fact, it has prompted
me to make a new 'Flash Award' - the 'Forum's
Vote' award. Every month, I will put up a poll
on the forum,
so members can select which Flash they want
to win the 'Forum's Vote' award for that month.
There is a poll on the forum now
- so
join the hell up!
Oh yeah, and also, check out the trailer for
the new SMASH! show.

Well three things
to say really; one is that there have now been
over 12,000 hits; the second is
that if you join the forum and become a member,
you will have access to a 'secret
flash animation' - click
here to go to the forum. Finally, I have made
a new Flash animation for all to see, based on
the piece 'Mama I'm Pregnant', I give you 'Mamapocalyspe
Now'.

Just a quick update
to let everyone know we have now had over 10,000
visitors to this site! (well since February
of this year, not including what I had before then
which was around 1000).

There is now a
new, better functioning menu at the side of the
site! I have also made a small adjustment to the
top half of the pages; the content now sits inside
tables. I may scrap the different colour halves
of the site in the future.

I have uploaded
a preview of a project that will be finished much
later this year: '//.uppercut
ZERO'. It is just in demo format, with only
the option to play 2-player with no choice of character.
I would greatly appreciate any helpful comments on
it, that are within reason.
Haven't updated
for a while, but there's lots of animations and
games on the Flash page in
the meantime! If you want to see what projects
are going on, look at the UPDATED
projects page.
I have been and will be pretty busy for the
next 3 months ('til July), so I will be limited
to what I can create/update in that time. One
thing I have uploaded today though is some sneak
preview pictures of some of my underway projects!
Take a look in the gallery
now!

It's been a long
time since I made an animation as opposed to a
game, and although I reckon I prefer games, I did
an experimentation animation - entitled "Mama
I'm Pregnant!".2C5084 Why not take a look
right now.
In other news, Part Delta of the Premiere Trilogy
is complete! It needs to go through a few checks,
and then I'll try to get it on the net!

I am gradually, but
surely, changing the flash content pages, adding
a scroll-box menu so you can easily navigate through
the pages. This may take a while, and also I plan
to change the adverts on the flash pages too, but
it will happen over time.
Started work on a *breakthrough* SCPUK collaboration
effort - it is currently highly top secret,
but I can tell you it is a game and a fresh
new idea.
Other Recent Activities:
I managed to find 13 different versions (including
the Deep Purple original)
of 'Smoke On The Water' - and I now have a
CD with them on, as well as the original track
in double speed and also reversed!
Boston was good, a nice 'homely' city with
great sights and shops.
Finally, if you need a top quality cabbie, e-mail
me and ask me about Perry - he was the
best taxi driver of all time!

I'm off to Boston (in the USA, not the small
industrial town in Lincoln) today, so the site
won't be updated until at the earliest Thursday
31st . In the mean time, leave messages
on the forum, send me high scores or suggestions!

We love retro - you love retro... but we love
random, so play 'Ace
INVADERS', a game based on the classic 80's
arcade game Space Invaders, but with a car protecting
garages from and onslaught of cogs and other
items! The graphics have been made as 3D models
and vectorized and rendered in Flash!
Also, the about page has
been updated with an in-depth timeline, from
the roots of barnoproductions to this very day!

The cheapest spin-off of all time, BACON?

here! Send me your high scores, with proof! Click

I made a new header, which is Flash based, so
that it gives key links to pages on my site.
Also, it allows me to have hidden "secrets" within
the header! I put a loader on it, because it
may take a second or 2 to load, but right now,
click and hold the "barnoproductions" text,
and see what happens!

Today, my 'StatCounter' (which started counting
from Feb 4th) reached 5,000 hits! There has been
about 1,000 that haven't been included as it
was before I got this counter, but woohoo!
SMASH!:
100
It's been made, fixed, adjusted, and it's here!
(Due for release on Newgrounds tomorrow!
Be sure to vote!)

Good News! SMASH! 100 is being fixed, currently
25/100 have been fixed. At the moment it is on
course for release soon! (That is, if I make
the total amount of frames less than 16000, which
should be O.K.)

I recently got a program to see
where my visitors come from and I have been surprised
to see people from places overseas from the U.K.
In one day I had over 100 Swedish visitors and
today there's been a great number of Greek people
(mostly viewing SMASH!:
Champions), but never had I a visitor from
Qatar until 15:22:21 today! I have put some pictures
on the misc. page, but
I may make a 'pictures archive' given time, if
I find more stuff like this out, or if I have
lots of images too.
In other news, after a temporary
fault in SMASH!: 100, I think I may be able to
fix it. The problem and reason why the
beta version froze on Q50 was for some reason
Flash stops working on over 16000 frames, and
I had around 30000. I have found a way (I hope)
to get rid of around 22000 frames, so that it
can work, without effecting the gameplay.

There is now a longer preview of "Pile
O' Lampoons", a collection of short scenes and animations. Also
the projects page has been updated.
You can rate my Flash animations
and games! I have split them into two groups, the
first with 10, the second with the rest. Go to
the Flash page and click
the "Rate My Flash" button(s).
There is also a Flash
League, putting the overall score ratings
of each animation in competition!
