PO Box should be fine - they hold larger packages if it doesn't fit in the box.

I'm diggin' your new office Tom, it kind of looks like my school (I go to school in an office building revamped into a school). That dualscreen monitor in the picture in the interview is slick.

For the "new game" you spoke of, are you gonna release the name of it to us, or just keep it under wraps?

Yeah.. Tom, tell us the name.. or do you not love us long times?

any ideas of how to recoup money from that mortgage tom?

lol, that's sweet tom ;)

I really hope to see some flash games out soon , don't forget to work on flash, it's still your main fanbase :)

Are the mortgages really that much that it will take you the rest of your life to pay off?? That's crazy!

Well, in any case I'm excited about the office. Hopefully it doesn't bring too corporate of a feel to NG headquarters :p

1) Behemoth

Tom, this is nuts. Really nuts ! Shocking therefore.
I thode it is some random thing, but it is awesome, I am happy, nice, rly.
And the site design(the Flash navigation and the store chicken) are just decent. You created that?

2) The interview, again, awesome, I rode the whole thing *erm* and the pics are great too ;)
I didn't actually never saw some of the pictures LOL !

But I don't get it ?
How... this is like "in segments".
It will be "Segment 2"?
Heh ;D

I think this is gold mine... I mean your doing platform games...
Lucky you !

If the office is really huge he should sublet spots for internet café if its in a popular spot or maybe raves with cash bar :)

The interview was really interesting. It is so good to see Newgrounds getting bigger and more succesful. I've noticed that too, how you said even a below top 5 daily entry would be pretty huge back in the day. Quality is huge and the competition is stiff now. You've definately created a whole new generation of animators and game makers. I wonder what the percentage is of Animation and Game Design majors who started out on Newgrounds? I bet you brought those schools a lot of students and income!

We're doing fine at the moment... The back-up plan is to rent out some of the extra space instead of doing cool stuff with it.

I'm glad you finally got your office paper work done have fun at the party Tom.

No, it's actually a 20 year mortgage, so if I pay on schedule I'll be done when I'm 47. I'm planning to pay it down ahead of schedule, though.

That's a lengthy mortgage...maybe you'll actually make money on the next game so you can pay it off sooner.

Sheesh, you posted in your own topic like 7 times

Fucking post whore, spamming up the BBS like a n00b >: (

So, tell us stuff about that new game o' yours Tom or we will have to eat your dog.

We have a large first floor to work with. The previous owner is still there for a few weeks cleaning out his stuff. I want to try doing some gallery stuff there, since we could do that on weekends and let people park at the train station up the street.

If we could ever expand our parking, we could have a real business down there, such as a store, cafe, or a mix of stuff. Right now the parking isn't ideal for that. We're running into the same problem that place up the street had, where they needed to tear down the neighboring building (the one I originally was going to buy) to make more parking.

Newgrounds film festivals =)
A large projection system to showcase flash on would be killer

Oh, that looks like a really good staff. =)

A really good piece in my opinion, funny as hell! ;-)

art gallery / auctions does sound pretty cool as well. Maybe open a section on the online store too.

Tom Fulp, PROMISE me that you hang up a StrawberryClock somewhere in your office, ok? ;)

Tom, you should plant a base in the UK. Seriously. :)

Like if theres any admins over in the UK, they could sort stuff out.. right.. and plant it in the South.. namely Brighton. Woot!

TOM TOM! On the Benemoth.com is says Alien Hominid for the xbox, me and my friends love the xbox. I got to AH.com and there is no link to buy it for the Xbox, also the design looks different from the PS2.. is it the same?

Can I buy it for the UK before Christmas?

Thanks for the info, im curious. I SOO want AH. :)

AH is available for the XBOX and PS2 in Europe. In the US, there's a Gamecube and PS2 version. It's already available in both countries, so you can get it before Christmas. :)

watch me piss Tom off

So how's Pico 2 coming along?
And GL with the office. Can I be a janitor?
