Yeh, I know most of you have seen it, and alot of you think it sucks, but if you haven't yet, check out my latest movie PAC-MAN
The problem most people are having with this movie is that it is too short, which was the point of it. I wanted to cut straight to the chase with the punchlne. I'll be making some more of these quickies in the future, so those of you who liked it, stay tuned. And those of you who didn't..why in the hell are you watching them?
I'm trying to get some ideas for a Kid Icarus quickie, anyone have ideas?
Did I mention Pac-Man is short? People can't get it through their thick skulls.. One more thing, Pac-Man is short. :D
oh yeah did i mention it was a short. (i just had to say that) lol =)

Interesting bit of news from "The Globe"...
"Now we have a study suggesting the average IQ of the average youngster in the year 2002 is roughly 25 points higher than the intelligence quotient of their grandparents.
And the reason is video games.
A psychologist at Cornell University in New York has found that youth testing in westernized countries has seen the abstract reasoning and thinking portions of IQs rise by approximately seven points a decade, leaving today's children 15 points brighter than their parents who are, in turn, brighter than the grandparents.
Nutrition is part of it, of course, but researchers claim the real brain prod appears to come from the constant interaction of children with video games, the Internet and even television."
I agree. When i eat i am fully prepared for promblems. Eating healthy can even help out too but i think its your choice what to eay in my case.=)

Soon I will be known as the sticker man! I have updated the NG STICKERS PAGE with a graphical map that roughly shows where we have current sent stickers too! You will find the MAP at the bottom of the sticker page. So keep those orders coming in so we can cover up every bit of brown on that map! :) I will be working on an international map once we get some more international orders (cough cough).
Yeah! If you have any extra stickers can you give them to me?
Finally, this is happening this is bad ass! Tom Way to go on this! I give extra koddos who ever did this and tom i know your one of them and anybody else thank you. And wade to if you did so.

I'm making updates to the Politics page. Once there is enough content, I plan to break it into subsections. For example, a section for movies about ENRON and corporate greed, another for the past presidential election, one for the War on Terror (basically the Osama page, but I should update that too), and so on.
If you can find political games and movies that we should be showcasing, please list them in response to this posting!
Can you put anime too. And one for lesbeins ahhaha

This week's news...
"In a statement Monday, Vivendi said the U.S. Attorney's Office in New York opened a preliminary criminal investigation in coordination with the SEC in Miami, which had been conducting an informal inquiry of its own." -Reuters
So Vivendi (owner of Universal Studios) is in trouble for hiding their horrible finances. How ironic that one of our biggest film studios is owned by a French sewage company.
I had just read an unrelated article about Vivendi recently, in a piece about the privatization of water. Not many people talk about this, although it has been a big issue with the World Bank (they basically take control of third world water in order for those countries to pay off debts to the World Bank). The water here in Atlanta is privatized and is unsafe to drink (Philly water was no picnic either - but it was still much safer to drink than the water down here).
Our water in Atlanta is controlled by a company called United Water, owned by Suez. Suez and Vivendi are the two largest corporations with control over water. Around the world Vivendi has taken control of the water supplies in different parts of 100 countries! Can you imagine your water being some shady corporation's bottom line? Privatization was expected to have better results than government management, but so far it has been a huge failure.
Isn't this stuff interesting? :)
I think that harlious but yep someone has to take care of our dump.

In addition to the recent Kirby collection, we now have a Resident Evil collection, complete with clever title image! :)
Does anyone have an suggestions for what needs a collection next? I think YOSHI may need his own page apart from Mario. We will also probably be making one for sound boards (ya know, for prank calling people and whatnot). What do you want to see the most?
Good idea and can you make one for Salior Moon page too. That would be good ok.

For years now, I've always seen commercials where viewers are informed of the "AOL Keyword". I have always wondered, what happens when you enter the keyword "NEWGROUNDS"? Does it take you to newgrounds.com?
I avoid AOL like the plague, so I have never gotten an answer to this question. I have always meant to ask, however. So... What happens when you enter the AOL keyword, "NEWGROUNDS"?

Everyone who was curious about the schoolbus, now you can find out what it was for! Special thanks to Tranz3d for actually drawing a cute little shortbus that happened to be exactly what I had in mind. :)
I finally went ahead and tried a new title concept for the The Portal. What does everyone think? Does it clash with the look of the page? Should the rest of the page's style be changed to match it? Or does everything look great?
The bus was a cool and anyway there is something new. Can you put pico in there to that would be cool.

Well folks, sorry for the lack of updates as of late. I have this thing to worry about called real life, and it sort of hinders my plans most of the time. Nevertheless, I am here today to bring you news on what’s going on over at Mobiusfactor. Not that anyone cares.
Many of you are aware of my apparent laziness when it comes to the long awaited Mobius Fighter. I get several emails daily asking me “Where is it?” and “When’s it coming out“. Well the truth is folks, I’ve been lazy, and I’ve pretty much lost interest in the project. Don’t get me wrong, I will release it eventually. But there are many things about the incomplete final version that just bug the hell out of me. One thing being the way the sprites look. They are certainly smoother than my last attempt at the project, but they look a bit dated. The motion itself isn’t as fluid as I’d like it to be. For instance, my upcoming game Clockwork Gogo , runs at 18 fps, but Mobius Fighter only runs at 14 fps. There is a lot of junk code in the Mobius Fighter engine that I need to dig out, but I can’t really be arsed to do it. It’s just one of those things where I have to wait for that creative spark to hit me again.
On a second note, I’ve removed the Ask Jimbo game from Mobiusfactor simply because of the overwhelming fact that it sucked. We had a poll, I don’t think we need any more proof. I also did a little remodeling and house cleaning. Mainly with my BBS and the page headers.
Lastly I’d like to comment on the hackers that have been fucking around with my account lately. Because my NG account was hacked, I am not sure if my previous portal entries will function correctly. I re-uploaded a few, just to be on the safe side. However, if you experience problems with any of my entries on Newgrounds, be sure to drop me a line and let me know.
By the way, did anyone else go and see The Ring this week? I thought it was a rather well done movie. It somewhat reminded me of Fight Club. For some reason, the cursed video made me think of a Nine Inch Nails video. ;)
Thats ok, the ring was a good movie if you like horror you like it. I hate hackers to they once got into my e-mail but i fixed it.
