The database server lost a harddrive this afternoon, which is why you were unable to view Flash submissions for an hour or two. We currently have it running under maximum capacity, so you might receive more error messages than usual (oldskool NG users will feel right at home). James might pull some strings to take load off the server until the replacement HD arrives next Tuesday.

So earlier today, Dan, Stamper and I were at Electronics Boutique. We were talking about Metal Slug 4 & 5 coming out for the consoles, and I mentioned in passing that I'm excited for Alien Hominid (just to see if it got a response from the clerk). To our surprise, the clerk said how excited he is too, and how AH is gonna kick ass! Stamper joked, "I think it's gonna suck", but the clerk defended AH against his verbal assault! We never even told him that we made it. What a cool feeling. :)

Wow, the word has really gotten out about AH. Sucks about the server though, good luck getting it fixed.

Luckily I wasn't around for any problems. :) Damn, my luck and skill never run out.

Hahaha. Live it up, Tom. Enjoy your fame. I bet the clerk is thinking to himself at the moment "Wasn't that...nah."
I suppose i'll take this oppurtunity to say that I can't wait for it either.

Wow, when the video-game clerks know about your game, you know you've made it!
Have you considered making a version for the upcoming handhelds, like Nintendo DS and the Sony PSP? That would be cool.
And a cellphone version, of course ^_^

That would probably work if they did it but I'm happy as long as it comes out on a console I have!

Heh. The old 'casual talk'. You know, that sounds like a good idea - collecting all the Metal Slug games and putting them into a Collection disc for the PS2 and XBox. Then we can have hours of fun instead of tracing E-Bay for Metal Slug 2 or 3.

Although it isn't the same error message it did bring back old memories of keyboard smacking and monitor slapping as I would be trying to deposit my exp when theres 5 minutes before the next grounds gold day and the error message would keep coming up...

Hah, I remember making a thread once asking what the difference between a code 1 and 3 were, then I asked who the hell liljim was when somebody told me to ask him.

Good times.

Sorry to dissapoint you Tom, but I will not feel at home until I get 3 error pages for every page I load. Then I will feel right at home.

What a cool feeling. :)

I guess it just goes to show you that NG'ss fan-base is alot bigger than you might think. I think it will do well just due to all the newgrounds fans that will purchase it. I can't imagine what it will be like if it really hits home with the mainstream video gamers. Exciting stuff, eh Tom?

I know, I can imagine how awesome it feels to have people reconize your work. I wish my site would become bigger but sadly it probably will never make me famous.

Is this new "upgrade" the reason why the text search is still down?

Response to DB Server Poopies 2004-07-15 20:09:51


Lol, the not being able to view flashes didn't bother me that much. Like you said, I'm used to it. And that store clerk knows his games!
