I came down with something on my last day in San Diego, so I'm a bit under the weather at the moment. It's been making it harder to get all caught up, so I apologize to anyone who tried to contact me over the past week and got ignored. I'm trying to respond to as much as possible and solve all the little problems that arise, but I'm also trying to catch up with the onslaught of new issues, questions and comments that keep pouring in. :)

Comic-Con was a big success! Castle Crashers was a huge hit with the crowd. We had Tankmen t-shirts for sale and it was exciting to see how many people were already familiar with the series.

A ton of NG artists were in attendance this year, including the creators of Pico vs. Convict, Madness, Work It! - Olskoo NES, College University, Xombie, Tomorrow's Nobodies, Broken Saints, Joe Zombie, TMNT: REBEL, Stickmess, I-Mockery and StrawberryClock himself. Sorry for anyone I missed, my head is a bit cloudy. :)

I'm back at the NG HQ now and we are rolling on a lot of exciting projects. The redesign continues to push forward, a new episode of Tankmen is in the works, and we have some fun developments concerning the Audio Portal - more on that later. I'll also be cranking away at Castle Crashers, so that maybe we can have a new demo to show at PAX next month in Seattle. If you are in the Seattle area, be sure to come check out the Penny Arcade Expo! We will be there showing the Castle Crashers demo, as well as selling fun stuff!

Web comics?

Bill Cosby will no longer give you Jell-o MR.Fulp.

I always miss all the important fun stuff. :(

Also, devolpments for the Audio Portal? Yay.

God, Castle Crashers looks sexy. Me want.

Well, I'm glad you had a good time. Sorry about being sick.

It's also good to hear about Tankmen. And it's also good to hear that all those people are still alive.

If you do decide to do it next year. I'll be there.

Why is it you always get sick after something like this?

Good thing castle crashers is a huge hit.

Castle Crashers is first on my Christmas list.

Okay, well it's actually like 8th or so.

But the thought still counts, right?

Anyways, glad to see the redesign is still under works. I'm sure It'll be great ^_^

I'm watching the trailer now, Tom. Sucks that your under the weather, though : ( New stuff for the Audio Portal??? Sounds exciting! Hope you get well Tom!

Castle Crashers is brilliant and i am buying it first day.

Wow,Newgrounds is really working on full speed.
This is like the 6th newspost in 2 weeks or something.

Have you got an exact date for the redesign yet?
Also,did the poster attract a lot of attention?

I think I get run down and then catch stuff either from crowds or planes. My immune system sucks, although I've had a really good run this past year - I made it through the winter just getting a few stomach bugs, but no real colds.

Why are all the cool expos, cons, and what-have-you on the west coast? >:'(

I Just saw trailer... As long as it's 13 or under, it's 1st on my x-mas list ^_^

Still want to come next year, dunno if I can afford it though. Plane tickets are one thing, but food and board? Yikes.

Maybe someone can split room costs with me.

Castle Crashers - one big orgy of colours :O

STRAWBERRYCLOCK HIMSELF??!!?!

I so badly want to play Castle Crashers! It looks so awesome.

It's like that when you sit inside a lot, since you don't expose yourself for all the bacteriums and viruses so your immune system can work up and protect yourself from it.

When you then later get outside, your immune system can barely protect you from anything and you'll get sick, especially if you stress a lot during those moments, sleep little and doesn't eat as you get hungry.

Another way of getting sick is to expose yourself for much warmth (as you do if you sit at a computer there ventilation might be too poor to get ridd of the heat the computer gives away) and then get outside in normal temperature. Your immune system and body just can't take that, since it's all resting why you're just sitting inside.

Comic-con scares me....Also, no pics? :(

Krinkles was there? And SBC? Oh lawd.
