hmm, maybe you should try and get out more, you're working a lot and should spend more time on the outside, maybe make a clay movie outdoors?

Strange, as my body always seems to 'adapt' to timezones whenever I travel. Not like I like it that way, no. I love staying up late.

I hate sleep anxiety. John and I were talking video game business kinda late and I went to bed at 2am and was like, "You gotta fall asleep now so you can get three and a half hours of sleep." An hour later... "You better fall asleep now so you can get two and a half hours of sleep." By 4am, the only thing on my mind was the acute awareness that I wasn't falling asleep.

Tom you couldnt have put that any better. Thats exactly how it works when your anxious for getting up the next day and just getting up is easier as its harder to get up when youve fallen asleep. This sometimes happens to me on sundays, i go to bed at 10:30pm and dont fall asleep till about 2am. Whats the point of going to bed early if this is what happens :S Sundays cause school is the next day + monday and no one likes those days.

Good luck with your next game anyway. Ill buy it if its anything as good as alien hominid and thats very good indeed.

Getting into computers does that with your sleep. With the internet you can work all night or just be curious, it doesn't close at dinner time. I love how quiet it is at night too. I havn't had normal sleep ever since buying my first computer. First it was staying up late in chatrooms, then IM, then building websites, then flash, then mIRC scripting, now I just read digg.com.

Make sure you get lots of rest at the airport, I'm ready to steal your.....I mean, make sure nobody steals your stuff

That's right

"Well tom, your mot the only one, I work about 16 hours a day and I start at4 am in the morning, but I have gotten used to it....
Well its not fun and im canadien and in the east so you probubly

Hahaha, it looks so real.

hope you had a good time tom

That sucks about not getting any sleep, oh and please do not name your new game ye olde side scroller.

Nice update Tom. Good to hear you had a good time over there and also, very nice to see your next game featured as one of the games to watch for in 2006! :)

Good luck on your journey home.

Hopefully the plane wont be taken over by terroists again.

I can't believe a user would post a fake photo of Tom in this forum. It is obviously not real:
1. Tom is in Lyon, not Paris...so the Eiffel tower would not be visible.
2. Tom is not wearing a Newgrounds shirt, which he ALWAYS does when out of the country.

The question is, how someone got the original photo which was taken by Tom's public relations team, and intended for the USA Today PR package later this month. I have been given permission to post the original. Cheesy photoshop alterations of Tom's photos should be discouraged!

Tom has a public relations team? BadReligionSkater's photoshop was way better than yours Mr. Fulp :)

waid?

WTF?

I didn't even know you were in France. I should probably pay more attention to updates.

Well, anyway, congrats on IGN listing your game.

ooooo, the photoshop possibilities....

so, any luck over in France on a publisher??

The Eiffel Tower is always visible in any photograph taken anywhere in or related in any way to France. This is a law of nature and there are no exceptions.

As Einstein once said:

"Der Eiffel Aufsatz ist so groß (zwar nicht so schön wie der Blackpool Aufsatz) der ist sichtbar von irgendeinem Punkt in Frankreich, nach innen und heraus ist."

Congrats tom! seriously your doing really gewd..
