Have a Steam account? Help Greenlight Produce wars. The entire soundtrack is by Waterflame, NG's Musician of the Year 2008 and a contributor to the Castle Crashers soundtrack.

Kajenx has set up a petition to stop the abusive trademark enforcement of the phrase "Tower Defense."

Also Mattster made the medals ePenis a reality.

That sums up a little of what happened while I was at PAX. Thank you everyone who stopped by the booth! BattleBlock Theater release date is APRIL 3rd.

I'd show up to pico day. I'd have to figure out how I'm going to get down their from my college though. (1hour~ away )

[Gobblemeister]

First

[triplenoob]

I would show up for that party... I'd like to meet some of the people on this site.

And I'm pretty excited for that interview with Sarkazm, that flash was amazing.

[LDAF]

Neat stuff to read, especially about the Steam game that Waterflame made the music for!

The Audio Portal is 10!!?!? o.O Craziness....

I would. If I lived anywhere near there and not in the Midwest....

I have a Steam account. But I don't use it. The last time I even logged into it was when I got a free copy of The Binding Of Issac from Deathink.

A lot of good news, I look forward to coming out BattleBlock Theater, in addition I'm curious to read the interview with Sarkazm!

[Sword-of-Kings]

Was it the explosion that made Newgrounds be down again?

[bigjonny13]

I'd love to show up for the Pico Party, but it would be a pain in the ass to get down there from way up here in Canadaland.

It's like walking into a time capsule. Wonderful collaboration!

[deathink]

I am extremely excited about Battle Block Theater... like 6 years old, a week before Christmas excited.

Nope that was a MySQL upgrade.

If I had the money to travel all the way there, yes.

Fuck being unemployed.

AtI really wanted to go to PAX this year and meet behemoth, does anyone have any photos of the guys, or anything else NG related at PAX this year?

The only photo you'll ever need in regards to that.

[MSGhero]

Next year maybe, it's always the week right before exams... Don't worry, I bought Castle Crashers, so that makes up for not coming.

Also, the downtime is good for testing what happens when the API doesn't connect in my game :D

[mandog]

Okay, making a half assed flash for pico day.
Tomorrow.

[Kajenx]

Thanks for posting the petition, Tom!

What do you mean? Did they put a videostream up in the chat last year? Sounds cool.

[Cyberdevil]

Lots of good things going on! I was expecting some bigger and flashier update though, especially after that downtime. You call this an explosion? :P

Btw, does the MySQL upgrade mean there will be fewer Bad Gateway errors from now on?

Probably not but we'll see! How often are you getting those? Still getting them today?

[BPremo]

I would go to a pico day party. like really, road trip fux yeah.

[GoryBlizzard]

Well, I've been invited to previous Pico Day parties at the office and they all coincided with other things (though I did catch up with you guys in Baltimore for a few hours in 2010). This year, I have a real shot at making it, and in all seriousness, I would go this time.

I had a few this morning (GMT), but none since the upgrade. So far so good!

[HipnikDragomir]

Just so you know, Tom, the NG commercial contest deadline got pushed to Pico Day.

You know it!

Can't wait to get my hands on BattleBlock Theater. From what I've seen, it looks like a ton of fun!

Yeah, it was neat. I'd love to see NG do more live broadcasting like they did a few years ago, but I understand the staff's pretty busy.
