Last night, Mike, Tim and I went to Barcade in Brooklyn to hang out with Adam Atomic, creator of Flixel and Canabalt!

Adam is a really really really nice guy so meet him if you ever get the chance.

Coincidentally there was a NYC Game Industry meetup happening at Barcade that same night, so we got to meet a lot of cool people and trek to the edge of Queens to see the rumored Baby Castles.

I also got to meet messhof, who has made lots of indie PC games and this:

Side note: Barcade is coming to Philadelphia! I'm really excited for that.

VOTE MEAT

Super Meat Boy is competing against some other indie games in a contest on Game Trailers. One of the games is being accused of spamming votes but maybe we can all join up to give SMB an NG bump.

GO VOTE FOR SUPER MEAT BOY!

If you haven't played the web version of SMB, here it is:

BIG STORE NEWS

We discovered over time that our store quantity algorithm was created for Comic-Con fans and not general NG users. As a result, we have sold out of most of our Medium and Large shirts, with leftover Small and XL.

We don't want to keep making the same shirts forever and would rather focus on new designs in the near future, so we're trying to clear out all the remaining sizes of most of our shirts! If you check out the store, you will see that a majority of the shirts are $8-12. Sorry if we don't have your size. If we do, grab it while supplies last!

You should hold a competition to see who on Newgrounds can design the best Newgrounds-themed shirt, and you could then choose the top few shirts to actually sell in the store.

Yeah whoooops should be all cleaned up now though.

I'm hoping to do a lot more t-shirt contests when we revamp the line-up.

Can i just ask one thing. You wont stop making the NG Logo shirts.... right?
Because im low on money, VERY low and if i ever buy a shirt it would be a black NG Logo shirt.

Meatboy is ahead by 15 points now.

w00t

Maybe I should get an XL shirt and use it as a blanket.

I think you should offer a discount on the small shirts because... you know... newgrounds fans are...

tall....

Will we ever get newgrounds caps and bags ever again? Cause I would get at least a couple of each if there were.

Voted, hopefully meat boy wins, the game looks so awesome.

Too bad I don't have any money anymore, I would buy a couple shirts.

Voted for meatboy :D

Now I'm curious, when you say "New designs" you're talking about the NG-Canada shirt to rival the NG-Europe shirt right? heh..

Hey Tom!

Don't forget to watch this awesome film made in only 48 hours

It all sounds interesting Tomster.

Just voted. Can't wait. Looks like Super Meat Boy will be one of my MUST-OWN titles for 2010.

I find Meat Boy looks too much like Ogmo.

We're at over 50% of total votes!

Yup, I don't think we have to worry much about Meat Boy losing now, we're going pretty strong.

Super Meat Boy is coming to Wii, XBLA AND PC (not just regular Meat Boy). I believe the gentleman was referring to whether or not the PC version was going to be released on a retail disc or just on Steam. As far as I'm aware, it'll probably stick to the downloadable mediums. (Saves money on packaging and distribution and whatnot).

Btw, whilst you were in Brooklyn...

Did anyone there ever say 'Early to bed, early to catch the worm?'

Who here as ever played meat boy?

SMB is going to be on PC, Mac and Wii as well. Sony didnt express interest.

After my vote meat boy was up to 53% of the total vote. That would be spamming the correct way.

So Ill never get a Nameless shirt unless I gain a few pounds...

DAMNIT METABOLISM :C

You should just randomly give out shirts. That will take care of the stockpile.
