Pico Day Updates & Throwback Thurs! 2014-04-24 13:06:02 Reply

Pico Day is this Saturday and I'll post a link to a live stream from the NG office, where a bunch of NG people will be hanging out.

Mahjix has prepared this year's site skin for Pico Day. We decided to try something a little different this year, where instead of the usual cast of Pico, Tankmen, Dad 'n Me, etc., the site skin features a collection of women from NG's history (sorry, not from the hentai). Will you be able to name them all? We'll see who can on Pico Day!

For now, you can grab these standalone shots of Tank Girl and Nene and use them on your loading screen if you want to give some extra Pico Day flair to your game or movie. Totally optional.

Ludum Dare 29

This weekend is doubly exciting because Ludum Dare 29 is happening. Between Pico Day and Ludum Dare, the front page should be full of cool stuff next week!

Throwback Thursday

Here are some classics from this week in NG history! The lists start with last year and work their way back until 2003. Sadly I don't have P-Bot posts covering 2000-2002 so we need to develop some other way for me to sort through that range and find stuff. One possibility is if we overhaul the trophy system and create a trophy archive in the process.

about classic animations, i remember one amazing piece i saw the first time i found newgrounds 9 years ago - it was a creature running really fast in some kind of a forest with a sword and fighting a giant monster, the style was really colorful, fluid and awesome - it's one of the first things that really pushed me into making flash animations. does anyone remember what that could be?

I'll try my best to have something up for Pico Day. The animation I've been working on definitely isn't getting done any time soon, 'cause I've really underestimated how big it is. I don't think I'll wait until next Pico Day to submit it though. It was supposed to be for last Pico Day so it's already pretty outdated, so I'll just submit it when it's finally finished :3

Be sure to stop by Saturday to check out Pico Day and the livestream! We might also stream Friday night to test things out, a bunch of people will be hanging around then too. Been prepping all week, just cleaned off the chalk wall this morning.

Wont be on NG on Saturday so I'll see if I can see anything on Friday if you do that. Are you going to be announcing when you're doing that? Or is it gonna be more or less out of nowhere?

Throwback Thursday

I'll be sure to check out some of the ones I haven't watched/played yet.

Also Lloyd Kaufman from Troma is stopping by and maybe the Angry Video Game Nerd.

Thats sorta cool. Moreso the former than the latter.

Damn Tom, you know how to throw a party.
I tried to get Greg Sestero (Mark from The Room) out too but he's busy this weekend.

what about Tommy Wiseau?

I've sooooo got an awesome track to submit for Pico Day cooking up!
Just got to make sure I can upload it next haha, I'm on a day trip and away from pretty much any electronics which would let me upload my entry. Hoping I'm back before Midnight to get it properly uploaded!
