You only had a bad timing when submitting. No biggie.

Haha, what a swell day. Really high scoring submissions and all of them could have won 1st place if they would have been submitted at different times (if something else wouldn't have topped 'em).

Also Illwillpress didn't get an award! Yay!

Exactly. Detailed 2D beats any lousy 3D at any given moment.
Even on today's standards Golden Sun's 2D graphics are outstanding.

The real thing I'm worried about is that I hope it won't affect the length of the game, as 3D surely takes up more space from the given amount of memory than 2D. Except if they find a nifty way to avoid this from happening, like how they used quite the same graphics for most psynergies and djinnis in the last two. Like Wish psynergy and Spritz djinni looked the same when you looked at their animations.

Tetris' theme is definetely one of my favorite video game songs of all time.
So addicting and fun to listen to.

I have to agree with this, but I think the 3D could offer more interesting aspects to the cutscenes. Maybe make them cinematic or so? But with beautiful 2D sprites they could do so effin' epic job, taking in to attention how epic the sprites in the previous games were with such limited hardware.

But I'll forgive them as long as the gameplay is fun and battles do not get slower like in quite most of the "from 2D to 3D" RPG adaptions.

About that mysterious girl looking character being the living form of Master Sword...

Hmm... I wonder...

I have both and they both have their ups and downs.

I mostly prefer DS because it's easier to carry around, but PSP does have some nifty features and some good games aswell. The real problem with PSP is that when playing from a disc the system can be quite noisy plus the fact the loading times are really long when compared to DS games. But DS lacks as good graphical capabilites, but it does have more ways to play a game just because it has a touch screen.

Also with PSP it's annoying that the battery runs out more easily, because it afterall is disc based and spinning that disc requires a lot more power than just reading data from a cartridge.

I mostly prefer Nintendo DS. It has literally won the markets and has more good games than PSP, while PSP is still quite good handheld console.

I was so happy that I had to do a drawing, which I posted today. (See below, or full image here)

I have waited for a new instalment in to the Golden Sun saga for so long, that I almost literally shat and creamed my pants at the same time. It was seriously surprising when they suddenly popped the trailer in to the screen when I was watching Nintendo's conference through Gamespot's E3 Live Stream.

This is seriously must-buy for me.

Umm... What's this?

Wow, now the layout is definetely looking better and "You also might enjoy" is maybe little distracting, but it's a lot more tempting now, than when it was previously almost un-noticable.

I watched some of my oldschool favorite submissions on Newgrounds and it's working great!

My only complaint is that the header looks pretty ugly and some other parts of the submission pages look odd, too.

Also, Tom, is it possible that you could make it, that you can select between either showing everything automatically in Wide Layout or in the previous Layout? Like for example go to your "my account" page, and change viewing settings there? As that would help a lot on my slower computer and for some other people, I bet.

Don't send him the FLA, publish the FLA in to a SWF and then show that to him. If he isn't expierenced enough, there's nothing he can do with it.

Damn, those plushies look sexy. Too bad I just had to spend all my money on to frikkin' school books and what not.

I noticed the sudden errors, I thought it was my internet connection messing up again. Gotta look forward to that widescreen!

...Also I need to find myself a team. Anyone looking for an artist?

I'm quite late on deciding joining up on this, but I may be interested working as an artist.

...Pokémon Master...

...Again?

I have watched some of those and they are just really mediocore flash animations.
None of the jokes have made me smile. Not even a little bit.

You heard THE El-Cid! DO IT ON 22ND!
Oh well, I will surely upload my shorts soon if the collab ain't coming out soon.
But if Johny and Stamper at least give a word about it, then I can wait longer.

God damn. This is an epic idea. But the only game I'm working on takes far longer to make than the given time PLUS it doesn't really fit the "Power of Three" theme... Sadly.

Oh well, good luck to those who decide to whip out something!

One time Meet 'n' Fuck actually got in to the top 20 best games of a month.

Pretty good winners this month. Although some of those places were obvious winners.

Is it me or is there something odd that third and fourth place submissions have the word "Meet" in their titles?

Even with 57k views (while I'm posting this) the third Brawl taunts didn't get higher place than 4th, which I'm glad about. Hope this is the last time they even attempt Brawl Taunts or so.

Good picks. From runner-up games Tankmen: Incursion probably would have gotten higher place, but the camera was just epilepsy worthy. Gongratulations to the winners anyway!

Nice "How to succeed on Newgrounds" reference.
But seriously, release plz?

Zangief has dressed up and all! He's feeling sad now.
Don't make Zangief sad.

Oh yeah, that's from one of my three parts for the collab.

This Pico Day wasn't as great as the '08 one, as '08 was the best one in my opinion.
Maybe next year is better?

Submitted my quickie some moments ago.

Happy birthday Tom and happy Pico Day everyone!

Going to submit my movie once I get home.

Aww... I was hoping for an animated preloader this year too.
Ah well, it's still great looking! :)

It deserves to be mentioned if FF battle themes are being listed.

Dangit! I accidentally copypasted the wrong link to that.

Here's the real one.
