Oh, and tom, I notice you didn't talk about The Forsaken City. Is it because you've given up hope in that?

Lucky day forever was totally mindblowing. I must have watched it 10 times through while most of them lose my attention after 10 seconds. Top notch stuff!

I agree. It look like opening up the portal for videos has done Newgrounds a lot of good.
