The IGF was lots of fun! Dad 'n Me won the award for web game of the year, which made me really happy because now I still feel relevant. I got to meet up with lots of great internet people and I'll be posting a page of pictures in the near future. 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. 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!

Heh, you must have been pretty freaked at that.

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.
