Flipnote Hatena

Chris on his DSi at Fridays After Five, complete with Artist Asscrack

Flipnote Studio is a free downloadable application for the Nintendo DSi. It allows users to create both word and picture-based notes with the stylus, add sound, and put them together to create frame-by-frame flipbook-style animations. Flipnote Hatena is a website where users can upload and share their Flipnote creations, and other users can comment on them either by text, or by creating a flipnote.

In June 2010, Chris was spotted at a Fridays After Five event in Charlottesville. Among some very disturbing behavior, Chris was seen sitting down and playing with his DSi for some time while at this event. It later came to light that he was spending his time on Flipnote Hatena, drawing comments in reply to various Flipnotes - mostly related to trolls.

Chris has currently added over 2300 of these animations to his favorites list.

Chris's creations

If you didn't expect this, you're an idiot.

This on the other hand...

There are currently three animations on Chris's profile. The first really isn't an animation so much as it is an unmoving picture of Sonichu, proving once again that Chris's "original" creation will infect every aspect of his life until the day he dies.

“	On All Channels, a person walking a Whole Mile at a rate of 1/8 Millimeter Per Hour, with only a Monotone Beep that goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on.....	”
UltimateNightmare

The second animation is somewhat weirder. An unusual looping animation of a stick figure supposedly walking a mile at 1/8th of a millimeter per hour. The long high-pitched beep that serves as background noise, is apparently Chris's own voice. The title, "Ultimate Nightmare" suggests that Chris's worst fear is nothing good being on TV, a specter not quite as terrifying as a macabre death factory. Considering how much time Chris spends watching television, though, his worries are not entirely unsurprising. Amazingly, this isn't the first time Chris has used a repetitive series of beeps to play through his amateur animation.

For those of you curious, if the stick figure is walking a mile at the rate of 1/8 of a millimeter per hour, then it will get to its destination in 536448 days, or almost 1470 years.

“	Show Your Support with me and 8-Bit for the Bill for Anti Online Bad-Mouthing. Awesome! :)	”
Don'tGetTrolled!

A bold new era of plagiarism.

The third animation is a remixed version of the animation Chris commented on extensively (see below). Chris adds very little to the original animation, scrawling a message about internet safety on some of the frames, and replacing a picture of Sonic with one of Sonichu. His description for the animation begs viewers to show their support for the "Bill for Anti Online Bad-Mouthing", which is presumably a law Chris dreamed up that would stand in defiance of freedom of speech.

Chris actually credits 8-Bit for creating the animation, which is surprising considering how much he usually plagiarizes. Granted, Chris gives this credit in the worst way possible, acting as though 8-Bit is some sort of stalwart ally that supports Chris in his battle against the Bill of Rights. A quick check of the comments on 8-Bit's page shows that Chris made no effort to comment him after his initial rant. It's likely 8-bit had no idea Chris was stealing his work, or that Chris thought of him as an ally.

On top of all of that, Chris completely missed the point of the original video, as it is with everything else he watches. The original message was that if you reply to a troll, then it's your own fault for being a naive retard. It's all about personal responsibility for your own actions, which is an alien concept to Chris.

In June 24, Chris created HippoOnYourHead, a rather bizzare animation, full of Random Access Humor with a plea for popularity in the end.

It stops making sense after this point.

Chris's comments

Chris's comments on Flipnote Hatena were much like his comments anywhere else on the Internet, self-centered and devoid of any follow-up. While most of them were short negative statements towards works he thought were a little too trollish, one five-part self-pitying rant, posted in response to a song about trolling, stood out.

You're singing my song. I was Internet Famous... HUGE MISTAKE! Right now, I have removed Most Every... thing about myself... ...from the internet. now there is only FALSE info on me that THEY have crafted and spread to Bad-Rep me. And worse they've found me in R. Life to catch footage of me for their gross, uncool amusement. I WANT TO GO BACK TO A NORMAL REAL LIFE OFF THE FRIGGIN' INTERNET!!! AND I WANT MY "REP" CLEAN OF THEIR CRAP! DO you have any advice to help me clear their crap off me?
