Interview with ChazDude

Posted by Asandir - May 25th, 2014


Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users

This week's interview features the user ChazDude.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username ChazDude?

ChazDude:

"I actually first came to this site as early as mid-2010, before this redesign thingy, so I've actually been lurking around here for a while now (I didn't bother making an account until recently), I didn't start coming on here regularly until early 2011, when I (re)discovered the Madness Combat series (I have vague memories of my brother showing them to me back in '07 or '08 or something like that). As for the name, probably because it contains my real name (Cha(zDude)rlie), for some reason I liked the name and I just HAD to stick with it (I also considered 'FishPiss' but when I told my brother he started using it as an insult, so 'ChazDude' it was :]"

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?

ChazDude:

"I think I've changed in quite a way, one year ago I had only made 2 comics which weren't even called 'Dave & Carl' yet, in less than a year of being an actual NG user I've released around 140 comics, got 75 fans in just 11 months, and given a supporter upgrade by one of the staff. As for real life, not much in any significant way but soon I should have more time to work on stuff (I have a maths exam in June, if I get a 'C' or higher I'll never have to do any of that crap again :])"

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?

ChazDude:

"There are quite a few users that I enjoy talking to, joking with, and getting feedback from; deckheadtottie and Gagsy are probably my two favorites, there are just too many to count :]"

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?

ChazDude:

"There are the odd spammers that I can live without (people like Wriggle, SithCorduroy and perhaps also PotHeadParadise (he makes way too many shit threads).

Apart from spammers, I can safely say that Amaranthus is one of the worst users on the entire site, he pointlessly attacks me everywhere, in chat, by PM, on my blog, even in someone else's blog, he is pretty much one of those worthless internet trolls, I wouldn't even mind if he got deleted (rant over)."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

What is your opinion about the forums? Is there one forum that you prefer? And is there another forum user that you want to see getting interviewed by me?

ChazDude:

"I think General is pretty much the only forum that I go to, I don't really see much else to do in the others. as for other users to be interviewed, I think Gagsy is certainly worth interviewing :3."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?

ChazDude:

"I think they do a pretty decent job, although they seem to be pretty lax when it comes to people being insulted for their medical condition (autism, in particular), I also think trolling should be moved into 'Things that WILL get you banned'."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?

ChazDude:

"I'd love to be a mod someday, I'd probably be a forum/chat mod although I could possibly be an art mod as well."

The last redesign happened 2012. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?

ChazDude:

"I like it, it certainly gives NG a modern feel, my main complaint is that they got rid of userpage banners (I still remember those)."

You are the creator of the comic series Dave & Carl. When did you first get the idea of making comics? Which web comics do you like the most?

ChazDude:

"Back in 2011/12 I was making (extremely) crappy 3-panel comics based on the Worms series of video games (those comics are so shit I'm extremely unlikely to show any of them), sometime in late 2012/early 2013 I thought "Fuck it, I need my own characters" and so, after some time of getting the concept right, on the evening of March 6, 2013 I drew the first issue of what would (in a few months time) become to be known as 'Dave & Carl'

As for favorite webcomics, Cyanide & Happiness and Deathbuldge are my two favorites. To be honest, who doesn't like C&H?"

Aside from Newgrounds, you also have a Deviantart account. If you had to compare both sites as art showcasing platforms, what are things that you prefer and like less on Deviantart compared to the art portal?

ChazDude:

"I'd say I'm more attached to NG than dA, on NG you can actually rate things, on dA you can leave a comment but no score (unless you type it, of course). Also on NG, it's easier to report stolen art than on dA (I think the only reason I got a dA account was to get a wider audience)."

Seems like you are a LEGO fan. What was the first LEGO set that you got? Did you ever visit LEGOLAND, and if not, do you plan to do so in the future? Also, what did you think about the recently released LEGO movie?

ChazDude:

"I think the first set I got (with me present) was this Ambulance that I got at Legoland back in '06 (it's so important to me that it's one of the few old models that I haven't dismantled), and yes, I have gone to Legoland almost every year (miniland alone is worth the visit). As for the Lego Movie, I thought it was pretty good, there's a butt-load of references and in-jokes in there that would amuse any Lego fan of any age :3."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

You have 3 cats. Tell my readers their names and when you got them. How important are pets in general to you? Also tell my readers why they should get cats as pets.

ChazDude:

"They're called 'Spotty' 'Dotty' and 'Smudge' (all except Smudge are female and Spotty is the mother of Smudge, there were actually 4 kittens but we only kept Smudge :[). We got them from a family that we knew at the time (way back in 2006, might I add), To be honest I'm not really a pet person, if I was I'd probably be a cat person (I'm not too fond of dogs), I'm not sure what to tell users here about getting a cat :/."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?

ChazDude:

"Whenever I wear pyjama trousers, I always wear underwear as well."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

What can we expect from you in the future, ChazDude?

ChazDude:

"A lot more D&C comics, that's for sure, I've also just released a physical comic book (which is currently only available from this shop in London, I do plan to do a digital version of that eventually. Hopefully one day (once I've found an animator and ideas) there will also be an animated version of Dave & Carl. I haven't really thought of doing anything outside of D&C, they're like my children :] (hopefully I'll never become one of those sellouts)."

Now you are filled with more knowledge about ChazDude, dear reader.Feel free to leave a comment here, saying what you think about the interview, requesting users to get interviews is also appreciated. Tune in next week :3

Asandir.
Your interviews are very professional, you choose the right questions and give enough questions.
I do enjoy reading them. I find them very entertaining sometimes.
I would love to be interviewed but unfortunately I haven't got the time.
Nor anything interesting to say, haha xD

Thank you very much :)

ChazDude is really a good dude :3 It took me a while to warm up to his comic strip, glad I did!

I agree, the comic is good, glad that we get new ones regularly :)

chaz is one of the users i know here who have legitimately funny content

indeed ^^

He is more dude than I.

Awesome :D

@Chaz
I don't know why, but you made me laugh more than I should.

ChazDude's comic series looks interesting. He just earned a new fan.

I laughed too ^^
Awesome!

@Pkmn2

That's good to know :]

: )

Good ol' Charlie.

Yes :)

Interview Gobblemeister or tehslaphappy LOL

We will see :)

@Captain-Slugworth

I've been thinking of a website, just because many artists (and published artists/authors) have their own, and if I did, I would certainly keep posting my stuff here on NG and dA as well :]

Awesome news :)

ChazDude's a cool dude!

True :)
