Kajenx has set up a petition to stop the abusive trademark enforcement of the phrase "Tower Defense."

Also Mattster made the medals ePenis a reality.

That sums up a little of what happened while I was at PAX. Thank you everyone who stopped by the booth! BattleBlock Theater release date is APRIL 3rd.

[Sequenced]

I'd show up to pico day. I'd have to figure out how I'm going to get down their from my college though. (1hour~ away )

[Gobblemeister]

First

[triplenoob]

I would show up for that party... I'd like to meet some of the people on this site.

And I'm pretty excited for that interview with Sarkazm, that flash was amazing.

[Intrapath]

Neat stuff to read, especially about the Steam game that Waterflame made the music for!

The Audio Portal is 10!!?!? o.O Craziness....

I would. If I lived anywhere near there and not in the Midwest....

I have a Steam account. But I don't use it. The last time I even logged into it was when I got a free copy of The Binding Of Issac from Deathink.

A lot of good news, I look forward to coming out BattleBlock Theater, in addition I'm curious to read the interview with Sarkazm!

[Sword-of-Kings]

Was it the explosion that made Newgrounds be down again?

[bigjonny13]

I'd love to show up for the Pico Party, but it would be a pain in the ass to get down there from way up here in Canadaland.

Like you need to ask. yes indeed

[deathink]

I am extremely excited about Battle Block Theater... like 6 years old, a week before Christmas excited.

Nope that was a MySQL upgrade.

If I had the money to travel all the way there, yes.

Fuck being unemployed.

[Hyptosis]

AtI really wanted to go to PAX this year and meet behemoth, does anyone have any photos of the guys, or anything else NG related at PAX this year?

The only photo you'll ever need in regards to that.

[MSGhero]

Next year maybe, it's always the week right before exams... Don't worry, I bought Castle Crashers, so that makes up for not coming.

Also, the downtime is good for testing what happens when the API doesn't connect in my game :D

[Kajenx]

Thanks for posting the petition, Tom!

What do you mean? Did they put a videostream up in the chat last year? Sounds cool.

[Cyberdevil]

Lots of good things going on! I was expecting some bigger and flashier update though, especially after that downtime. You call this an explosion? :P

Btw, does the MySQL upgrade mean there will be fewer Bad Gateway errors from now on?

Probably not but we'll see! How often are you getting those? Still getting them today?

[Bill]

I would go to a pico day party. like really, road trip fux yeah.

[GoryBlizzard]

Well, I've been invited to previous Pico Day parties at the office and they all coincided with other things (though I did catch up with you guys in Baltimore for a few hours in 2010). This year, I have a real shot at making it, and in all seriousness, I would go this time.

I had a few this morning (GMT), but none since the upgrade. So far so good!

[HipnikDragomir]

Just so you know, Tom, the NG commercial contest deadline got pushed to Pico Day.

Yeah, it was neat. I'd love to see NG do more live broadcasting like they did a few years ago, but I understand the staff's pretty busy.

[Art3misZer0]

I upvoted that game on greenlight

[sucho]

this is gonna be the first Pico day i'll miss, all courtesy of Her Majesty's most deplorable border agency :( i hope that it's the bomb regardless though because i want there to be one next year!

I would show up, but the only probolem is that I live on the other side of the country, I am not old enough to drive, and I have barely any money (which I will probally waste at the flea market). So otherwise count me in.

Yes, very much so! After 12 years of following your website, I guess it's about time!

Also Mattster made the medals ePenis a reality.

Thank goodness for Greasemonkey, was really hoping the ePeen wasn't gonna be an official NG feature, though the free press over the parental outrage might've been nice!

This too. Last years stream was an unmitigated success, and brought joy to so many loyal Newgrounders!
