If you have iTunes, you can now download a free iPod version of Metal Gear Awesome 2! Here's what to do:

1) Go to the iTunes store.
2) Search for "Newgrounds"
3) Click the Newgrounds podcast in the results.
4) Download MGA2 and enjoy!

You can also choose to subscribe to the Podcast, so that future releases will download automatically.

In other community news, deadlock32 has been working as a Flash developer for Ty, the Beanie Babies guys! He wanted me to put the word out that they are looking for Flash game programmers. Applicants should be proficient in AS2 and/or AS3. If you have any object oriented programming and SVN experience that is also a plus. Benefits include health insurance, life insurance, vacation, paid holidays and 401k. If you're interested, resumes and portfolios can be sent to chicagogamedev AT gmail.com

In Behemoth news, we've launched a Castle Crashers Devblog and GU Comics posted a cute CC comic. Thanks, guys!

And now... Some BIG news that I've been putting off announcing. Ya know that job posting we made, looking for a PHP / MySQL pro? It wasn't because we're expanding... It's because ROSS IS LEAVING! For those of you who aren't familiar with Ross, he is the programming wizard behind the NG user system, the Flash Portal and a large portion of the redesign we launched last July. Ross had originally left NG at the end of 2001 and Liljim, once just a dandy NG user, took his place. Some time around July of 2006, we were ramping up to do the redesign and had the good fortune of Ross rejoining the team!

Ross lives in the NYC area nowadays, though, and working from home loses its charm after a while. Ross has accepted a position with Yahoo, where he can work locally and gain all sorts of new experience.

The news made us all real sad, but it's a great opportunity for Ross and we wish him the best of luck. Yahoo just gained one of the best programmers on the planet!

And yes, we found someone new. Rob will be starting this Monday!

Aww. That's too bad about Ross.... Although, Rob sounds like a very similar sounding name and I'm sure will be well up to the task!

when you talk, i dont care what it means, shouldn't just stare at you, should i?

He better be better than all those 08 users around there!

Just kidding, but I wish him the best of luck with his new job, and hopefully he doesn't get molested by Stamper too much.

I have both on my iPod now, as the other was here for d/l. But yeah, cant wait to see what you guys whip him up for a nice icon and maybe into the staff page/flash?

But anyways, just wondering Tom, how many people applied or were interested?

Shit. Wouldn't have guessed that at all. It's really sad to see Ross go. Best of luck to him in his endeavors.

Somebody get this Rob guy a new icon and convince him to post. The "Mysterious, elusive staff member" position is already taken up by Tim.

I used to call him "Two post Tim", and that was valid for a while. He ruined that, though.
