Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

A pub with Dutch, German and Belgium beers!!!!

and a walkin'g' Fridge in every house!!

You got some really cool ideas Tom. If pulled off right, such a McNewgrounds where you can play with stopmotion and dubbing/voice-acting could attract new people to the world of animation. If I had the possibility to play around with that stuff I would've tried out flash earlier.

One needs to be a zeppelin hotel.

Those are some majorly awesome ideas. Especially the re-dubbing cartoons one, epik win.

I know there are stores like this, but I want a place where they have those things that are awesome, and you can't find anywhere else. Back home we have a Newbury Comics, and if Barnes and Noble or Borders doesn't have a book, I'd check there. Same with movies.

I guess I'd like an Amazon store.

Hey, hey, hey, Tom.

You a working class hero man.

Hey Tom, one idea i thought of, how about a history museum. Chronicling the influence of making newgrounds and how you started out. Then build up from there showing other places of the top hits that make newgrounds awesome like castle crashers, madness collab, etc.

And also a shop for buying merch stuff at the end of course.

Any one or combination of these things would be great.

Also, I wish I was still able to come around to the office more frequently. Unfortunately, with everything going on at work and school, I have no time to stop by and see everyone. One of these days I'll get back there.

I'm actually quite fond of that Voice Acting studio idea ya got goin' there, Tom. I've always wondered what it'd be like if I could fandub some of the anime I watch, and see how it increased or decreased the quality of it.

BTW: Tom maybe next time you can join our group in west virginia. Every time we pass around Da Pope (bong), we are always thinking like that. Won't cost ya a dime for the weed since your awesome. (Everyone else pitches in >:()

We're gonna premier the chat with the launch of Pico 2 so everyone can chat about how awesome it is.

So, like, never, huh?

Right around the same time Lilium 2 comes out too

Or the next duke nukem or original call of duty. (never)

I personally wouldn't mind going back a few decades. I have yet to find a classy place around here with nice jazz or piano music going instead of some shitty southern-rock band or hip-hop and dancing whores. I just want to drink and sit and think. Dammit.

1) Shotgun - wide beam, less range, fast shot
2) Laser - Strong focused beam, sustained shot
3) Spread shot - multiple angled beams, fast shot
4) Machine Gun - Bust of four quick shots followed by delay

Stuff like that...

me to! when I was little and went to laser tag places, I always was really tired of the same old gun!

Nice idea for an NG lounge! It would be the perfect meet-up place!

My idea is to create a live web-feed of any meetups that happen there so people who can't come can see what's going on!

When I was in college I would go to 611 Records and listen to vinyl on the turntable listening stations. When I stopped collecting vinyl I did the same thing at CD shops. Now everyone downloads their music so there isn't much draw to a CD store. Is there some sort of potential social space for music fans that is less extreme than a concert but more public than browsing on-line?

Down here we used to have some youth centers, and with my friends I often hit on youtube and watch this than that video, then someone cames out with that video he saw... One day I came out with the idea of a YoutuBar... That would be great. Something like a phonoteque where you get in this room and listen to the vynil (way better than cds to listen together) and watch the sky...

Uh yeah a telescope place too! What's the word... Astrolabius?

Another thing I want for a town it's a decent way to leave her when I want to go elsewhere!

Needs more stripclub.

You have a lot of dreams, Tom. You also have the people and the funding due to NG. I'm sure. The real question is... do you have the potential?

I love your ideas, nevertheless. A lot of people have ideas, but very few have the chances you have to follow through with them.

sweets, can I jump in the bean-bag chair?

I've actually been considering renting a loft space in Montreal with a few friends and doing similar things. Essentially it's the construction of a creative space. It's a lot of work, and is going to require some serious dedication to make it a happening community space. Kudos for doing it though, I think it sounds awesome.

You could make a small income by hosting speakers, tutorials, lessons, and the premiers of animations and games. I wouldn't plan on making money from that though, just on covering rent.

So those are some of my ideas. What would be the store, museum, service, etc. that would make your town awesome?

I live in a town of 700. Just having a McDonald's would be visionary.

Amazing Ideas Tom! It would be cool to see those ideas in action!

So you basically want to start a real life Newgrounds? That is the greatest thing anyone has ever thought of ever.

Makes me really wanna visit the NG HQ in the future, the yoga center was my favorite part.

To be square with you Tom, I agree with your idea of the Music shop. I can't stand going out to a concert for a band I really enjoy hearing only to be screamed out by thousands of fans. My solution? A shop that instead of selling songs, is a lot like a library where you can just sit down and listen to them! I would think many people would at least have some interest, and true fans of the artists would go to maybe talk with others who enjoy that artist.

For me the same would work for movies... At least I hope it would. Much like the screaming fans there are those that just go to movies to socialize. That I can't exactly disagree with, but there's a point where you just have to shut-up, and watch the movie. So there you go. A shop I would love to see in any store would be like a library which sounds ridiculous, but when the library comprises of music, and movies I think it'd be a pretty snazzy thing to see!
