Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Cool. Yeah the NG mag definately needs a make-over, if this 'Bob' guy is gunna do it.

And another thing Tom, I joined Ebaum's. Do you hate me now?

Keeping busy indeed. I look forward to the new game. How much longer til we get Dad & Me out and about?

I can't wait to get to the office! You make it sound so cool. I'll be there in the near future.

Been waiting on some updates from NG.

Ooohh, the PS2 controller set up would be fun for FPA.

Heh. I wish I could try that, but I've got no idea on where to begin...

>:(

Even with an Sapphire x800PRO Dad N' Me won't run all that fast, and I run Firefox 1.5.0.1 at a pretty good speed for my shite DSL.

Also, am I the only one that Tom randomly LOLlled? Made me chuckle.

Anyway, the office sounds pretty cool. If i'm ever in the Philly area in the future (For a Phillies game prolly, I was down there last summer, holy fuck Citizens Bank Ballpark is hot), i'll be sure to check out the building if I can find it.

Yeah the large ice box could be used to store more milk. not beer4

Try to make that new game a bit easier than Alien Hominid.

woah tom i didnt know you wer a vampire.i wouldve never knew!

Aww man. I loved that video. So, is Dad n' Me coming out on PS2? That would be great. Good to hear the news once in a while Tom.

hahah, He'd have to know who you are first.

then after that he'd have to be un-busy enough to care.

Tom is never busy. He responds to e-mails even before i hit send.
Atleast his refresh button is working fine!

I think the front page thumbnails need to be a little better organized, with games on one side and flash on the other or something. That way it would be easier to distinguish what we're getting into, and it might look nicer.

lol, alcohol, the solution to life :)

Nice to hear that things are coming together. I wonder how close I used to live to the Newgrounds office? I was born in PA. Hmmm...

We still haven't removed the old owner's sign or made a new one for NG. I have to meet with a fancy sign fabricator and get on top of that soon.

Make a full on Newgrounds style office & make sure you get the number in the yellow pages!

Our next public demo will be at Comic-Con this July in San Diego. We're still keeping a lot of info about the game under wraps, but you can see some bits and pieces from my trip to France last December. The development schedule is grueling and I will be maintaining AIM silence for the next few months, I need the IQ points.

At least give us a few preview shots. We are your adoring public, we need to keep our interest up!

Next week I'll be flying out to San Jose for the IGF, where Dad 'n Me is nominated for web game of the year! You can go vote for Dad 'n Me on Gamespot! Dan, Dustball, Edmund and the XGen gang will all be there!

I've voted for it, not because you and Dan wrote it, but because it really warrants the award, as it's frankly awesome

I heard if I set the frame rate over 30fps, it will actually run faster in browsers - sorry I haven't experimented with that yet.

Mad Doctor Tom, I suggest you do!

My friend Bob is joining the team at the end of March. Bob was editor of our college paper at Drexel and has publishing experience that could be useful for NGMag some day. His main role in the immediate future will be CSS programming. We decided that Stamper should focus on visualization, James should focus on database integration while Wade and I should focus on conceptualization and a million other things, so Bob will be doing the implementation to turn Stamper's designs into clean, crisp CSS code. This should streamline our whole development process and ensure we launch new features in a more timely manner. LOL

Welcome Bob, are you entirely sure you are ready to associate yourself with this group of maniacs? (With reference to the wall demolition video, has Stamper prepared an initiation for Bob?)

Things are moving along smoothly with the office. We tore out a few more walls to open up space (sorry, no video like last time).

See the above comment.

Now that we can get some fresh air in the apartment, we need to strip the peeling wallpaper and repaint the walls to make it all pretty. Then we need to get a couch bed so we can accomodate more visitors at one time.

Newgrounds inviting guests? When can I get an invite?

Guests? and a bar? This sounds like my perfect hotel. How much do Pizzas cost, I'll book myself on the next flight to Philly.

Well i think thats great news and you seem to be VERY busy, but still i guess thats a good thing. So from the sounds of it everything seems to be coming along very nicely, when you finally are able to get an NG sign up on the front of the office you have to post pictures of it. And of course the inside of the office as well when all the rennovations and changes are done.

God, i got kicked out of the chat room when i didn't do anyrhing.

Ummm...

I clicked the link to the IGF voting page, and it only has a link to the page where the game is-there's no checkbox or anything anywhere where you can vote.

Can somebody help me here?

That was the most chuldish attempt at humor I have ever seen. Not to mention it sucked, and anyways Tom is a Werewolf, not a vampire.

Anyways, glad to see things are finally moving along at a faster pace after the strange "lack of news updates". This happens every once in a while, you make an update every day for about 3 days, and then just stop. Not saying it's a bad thing.... woa.... what are you doing with that knife!!!?!?! I was just kidding!!!
-Blargh-

</badhumor>

yes that's right make a console version of dad 'n' me like ya did with alien hominid its a great idea, "c'mon everyone" console version
