Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hehe, swell.
I think an idea you should do is have someone record the G4TV bits with you on it for the sake of those unfortunate not to see it (like us lonesome brits)

Congratulations on the award!

that's good news Tom sorry to hear John april and Dan got sick though I hope they all get better soon.

oh i was so sad and mad because i thought the NG site was lost forever!
Thank you for getting it back on track!

nice update

everything is basically.... cool

Thats kinda weird, I got a stomach bug last night, I'm still throwing up.. =(
I get to miss school though

Great news, congratulations on the win. You definitly deserved it - both of you =) Can't wait to see the pics either, yay.

I was especially lucky on this trip because I was one of the only people who didn't get a stomach bug, which basically made you vomit for 24 hours straight. Dan and John caught it after the first night and Dan wasn't able to show up to walk on stage and accept the award. Other victims soon followed, including April on our last night there.

Loads of people are getting it here. Apparantly you're still contagious for 2 days after the day you keep vomiting - so stay away from April for a while! I've got a stomach infection, but I get to stay home and go on Newgrounds so it's win win :P

Congrats on winning that award Tom! :D And welcome back! I was about to email you yesterday about NG's downtime, but I didn't bother. Well, whether I did email you or not while you were away, to me, you are not a dick.

The whole thing reminded me of that scene in Stand by Me, where everyone starts puking up blueberries.

I'm catching up on tons of emails, so sorry in advance to anyone who gets ignored. Talking to people at the GDC, I'm amazed by stories of how grateful some people were when they were just starting out and sent me an email, and I actually replied. It makes me think of all the people I DIDN'T reply to and how they probably hate me now. If you are one of those people, get over it! No really, I'm sorry for being a dick.

I'll be appearing LIVE on Attack of the Show this Wednesday, March 29th, via iChat. The show airs 7PM EST, 4PM PST on G4TV. We'll be doing another round-up of popular NG submissions!

Welcome back Tom! I can't wait to see Attack of the Show this Wednesday, I won't miss it, I end up Tivo-ing almost every G4 show on the Network! Good luck! And congratulations on winning Web Game Of The Year, I can't wait to hear about other awards you will win! I also can't wait to see what popular submissions you guys air that night! I doubt any of MY submissions will end up anywhere besides here, not that I have a problem with that at all. Congrats!

Hahoo, someone else is a Lost fan too, eh?

Heh, you must have been pretty freaked at that.

OH NOES! You missed the new episode of Lost!

*faints*

I prefer Alein Hominid to Dad N' Me...
Dad N' Me is just going around beating people up.
Alein Hominid is more challenging, and it's so fun i went out and bought it for PS2. I love the drive vehicle feature, thats amazing, I always smash my mates car up.

stomach flu sucks. i had it. there is nothing like having to puke and shit at the same time to make you reall y appreciate life. hehe.

Congrats

That's going to to be cool seeing you on t.v tom! i really want to watch it, but i don't think i have that channel. if you can tell me what number the channel is on, i can see if i have it or not. anyway, great job on winning the prize for Dad'N Me! that game roxxors. sux tho that Dan couldn't accept his prize due to his stomach bug. i hope they all get better.

w0000t! AOTS!!! fuckin rock on! damnit i hope u talk about the new office on the show. i still wanna come visit. ahh, the luxury of living 10 min. from NG's office roflz

Welcome Back Tom!

maybe you can work on the "link to NG icon contest" now then >:|

Again good news and bad news from you. Is there ever just good news? :P Well sorry about the whole stomach bug to whoever got it, and i guess you did get lucky.

Congrats to you and Dan, and i guess even Dustball for the award that Dad N' Me won, for those who dont know Dustball created the music in Dad N' Me. Well good luck in everything.

It truly feels great to be a memeber of the Newgrounds sociaty, yes.. Many of our users are some what dick heads, but that's what makes us awesome.
I'm proud of being apart of this site, just knowing that many things have been accomplished, by newgrounds.com

It's sort of inspired me, if I ever created a site, i'd like a fan based one like newgrounds.
Well, Congratulations, you must be proud.
