Ello! This has been an especially long week because I have decided to go back to Drexel as a full-time student. I overloaded my schedule with the maximum credits, and I'll be able to graduate by the end of the summer term (6 months from now). Going part-time was taking forever.

Anyway, the site continues to run like crap - which is a real downer. There were some boo-boos with the MySQL upgrade, so more work will be done over the weekend and hopefully things will be running better by Tuesday.

If anyone hasn't taken this poll yet, please do! The results will be announced on a new Canadian television show, and they will apparently give us credit! That would be kinda cool, right? Speaking of Canada - NG didn't win any awards at the recent Flash ceremony. Remember, that one I told people to vote for? I think that is the first time I told NG users to vote on something where we didn't win... It SUCKS! I should have left the link up longer. Oh well.

In fact, NG hasn't won ANY awards since the Flash Forward 2000 film festival. I really though Disorderly would win SOMETHING! The damn thing took a year to make! Well, off-and-on over a year... You know how it goes.

Metal Slug fans will cream their pants over the game I am working on with Synj. Right now the engine and main characters are complete, but we gotta throw in lots of cool stuff like bosses and objectives. We'll try to have it out asap!

[Shutty]

The site is a bit slow and error messages keep appearing like every 5 minutes. Anyways i can't believe NG hasn't won any awards since 2000. That sucks NG is great proberbly the best site on the net. Anyways gotta run.

Indeed it does, I got the same error message, namely:

Your request cannot be completed. The following error message was returned:

This account: 8300 has expired.
For questions regarding the survey you were attempting to complete, please contact the owner of the survey directly.

If you feel that you are receiving this message as a result of a system error, please send us an email.

BTW, Metal Slug is Metal-COOL! I can't wait to see what you're doing with it!

[0ddBaLL]

Um...is there a time Newgrounds ever didn't run like ass? The only time I remember it running smoothly was back in the day when I watched the original Club-A-Seal, that wasn't even in flash yet!

Anyway, the Metal Slug thing sounds interesting. People have been doing cool stuff lately with flash games, like that Zero Race game. Only thing I can suggest is making the controls easy, usually when your playing a flash game, if there's a slight lag the whole control scheme can get fucked up.

Oh well, later.

P.S.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARNEY HAPPY PENIS!

I must come out and apologize,..I'm the reason Pico2 is taking so long to make..When things went from bad to worse in my financial situation, I was forced to take up a shitty retail job to make ends meet...But since then, that job has drained me considerably..I'm trying to juggle it but it's been hard...Tom has been incredibly understanding of the situation, and has since worked on multible projects so as to keep NG happy...I'm trying my damnest to get out of this rut of a life and get back to what I love, animating...
But in the meantime please have patience with me...

On a lighter note, I have played a beta of the game Tom is working on now, and its incredible, you guys will not be dissapointed..

Actually, Newgrounds won those awards for best political satires or whatever at that other site. Anyway, yeah the site's still a little slow, but if you noticed there are less porn banners now. Oh and sorry Jose. Hope things get better.

what do you need school for guy, your like an amazing Flasher, theres no need for school for you, your life is on Flash, your just waisting your time to get a piece of paper to put on your wall that you did something.. thats not worth time when you got Tom Fulp Flash skills.

[BobbyFL]

Damn it sucks Disorderly didn't win an award. It's great that your doing full time classes now. I hope you'll still have time to support NG though.

[rvyn]

YAY college! I know, this is a really useless, stupid post, but I just wanted to say that I got into NYU film school, thanks in part to my flash movies "Ending" and "TimeCry" which I put in my video portfolio.
