War of the Worlds on Newgrounds

[Andy120290]

I don't think that this has been posted before, so I will. There was a short series based on the original novel, with some jokes and additional characters added, on Newgrounds.com. Apparently, it was going to be an attempt to re-create all the chapters of the book, but it seems to only have gotten to Chapter 5. Here are the links:

Keep an eye out for the Pendragon references.

Is New Grounds a paid subscription thing, or is registration free?

[Andy120290]

I believe it's free. I never found the need for an account though. I only use it to play games and watch videos. That I know is free.

I like the sound of the heat-ray on that second link. Its near musical in sound.

That is Daniel Elliots aka Gerkinman's Nimbin: The Martian Saga. Those were released online last year but he stopped work on them at the fifth chapter because he had other animation work commitments.

He is redoing the whole thing and completing the story in an e-comic that we can expect to see online in 2007.

More info on that if you wish to find out more.

Dan hopes he can get it published like his past Nimbin comics.
