So I've just landed in from this year's NG Mod Meet and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. I'll start by thanking the hell out of the staff for picking up the bill on this huge weekend, and for all of the planning that went in. The staff presence during the whole thing definitely kept morale up in a big way too.

Beyond the whole cabin idea working out perfectly, the crowd this year was great, despite missing a few I hoped would make it. Didn't really get a chance to say proper goodbyes to most, or talk all that much, so here - for your viewing disinterest - was my one-line impression of each attendee.

Jonas - what can I say, the lumpy bastard is growing on me
Paul (uberbarista) - Damn, dude, you really pulled your shit together. I'd tap that meat.
Adam (CaptainBob) - Gotta admire your willingness to drink, no matter the conditions.
Steve - Stopped modding but still comes to the parties. This guy is great.
Karl (BlueHippo) - Like looking into a mirror that makes you appear younger and better-looking.
Malachy - Did not plug the sink with barf this time. If this trend continues, I think I like 'im.
Matt (mightypotato) - Glad we got a chance to talk more this time - you've got a good sense of humor.
Keith (avie) - Alright, it's about time I visit Endless. I'll do that after this post.
Lindsay (mamatequila) - Probably the coolest mom I know, and that's a competitive category.
Steven (Sardonic) - Always nice to have another Flash guy at these things. Hope you keep comin'.
Viktor (Rucklo) - Easily one of the better surprises of the trip, particularly considering I thought that furry in your display pic was you.
Anna - Friendly and receptive - I hope we didn't nerd you out too much.
Chris (JoS) - Thanks for fun road trip. Work on your indoors voice though <3 lolz
Swain - Wasn't there. Dick. <3<3
Shawn - Glad you're at so many of these things. Always have at least one guy whose company I know I'll enjoy.
Louis (Pox) - Always a highlight. Funny to look back on our first trip to the meet 4 friggin' years ago.
Luis - Thank God there's at least one other guy mixing up faggy drinks so I don't look so bad.

Well that was indulgent and unnecessary. On to more of the same.
I was hoping that my tanky would be ready for pickup, but it was delayed by some tinkering with the engraving. I was gonna post a picture of myself wielding the tanky, lookin' all proud and joyous, but in its absence, I guess this is just me wielding a bottle of zinc supplement, lookin' all confused and disheveled.

I bust balls because I love, Tom!

Edit: It seems silly to reply to each individually saying the same thing, so I'll just say it up here - thanks for all the comments and kind words :)

Okay, so as many of you know, NGR won Game of the Year here on Newgrounds. First of all, I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for this. I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Jose, myself, and - to a lesser extent :D :P :3 Luis - really put our mind and soul into creating games like this. When such an immense part of the community feels that we've really done something great, it is an elating experience, and I cannot give enough thanks to the community, staff, and everyone else involved.

As a present to you all, we've added Fancy Pants Man to the roster. He was supposed to be in the original game as the 11th character, but Brad got busy with school and it didn't happen. Now, a year later, he has graced us with a uniquely feeling character, and I love Fancy like one of my own. Give Brad your thanks for his donation.

That said, it's NGR's birthday. What a sexy coincidence. I'm sure some people think it was set up, but it was not. I was stressing the hell out all day and refreshing right up until the last minute. This is a big deal for me, and solidifies my commitment to NG. I'll be here for a while, so if you like my games, and if you like games made sexy by Mindchamber and/or Luis, expect more of it. I'll be here a while. Luff to the community. Send PMs, leave reviews, I'll be here. BAI.

Hiya.

As you could have just read in the Newgrounds Rumble author's comments, we've updated the game to include Hank as a character and Nevada as a level. I wanted to make the level more interactive than the others, so I added Jesus as a mobile hazard, and threw in the improbability drive to drop off a good chunk of the level partway through. I was pretty proud of it when I finished. This lasted until about the time I received Jose's sprites for Hank, at which time I wept a little. I feel like my level is a good reflection of Madness Combat, but Hank is an homage to Consternation that might make even Krinkels gawk a little. Needless to say, he looks great and should add some new fun to the game. His gun-heavy attacks make for a different play mechanic that I think I'll have to get used to before I have a lot of fun with it, but you be the judge. He's only available in versus now, but watch out for story mode and survival additions soon.

I chose not to front page this because Mindchamber's frontpaging an article regarding the same and I don't wanna join the frontpage flood just yet.

Hello friends,

As some of you may know, I co-own another site besides my own called WiiCade.com. WiiCade has been offering Wii-compatible games since the launch of the Wii itself, and we've just recently launched our third complete overhaul of the site. Some of the new features include:
-Awesome new additions to the WiiCade API including Nunchuk support, online multiplayer, WiiMote twist and distance from the screen, and 4 simultaneous WiiMotes
-A full redesign of the layout, look, and scheme
-Increased submission functionality including submission editing and unlimited sandbox
-Fancy javascript shit!

So it's definitely worth checking out. Developers especially, we'd love to get some more interest from you guys. Wouldn't it be neat to make a sniper game where you zoomed in by bringing the WiiMote closer to the screen, or a piloting game where you steered your craft through narrow spaces by twisting the WiiMote to rotate? And all this possible with 4 players, too.

That link again is http://www.wiicade.com , woo!

Hullo thar. I don't have much to say. Just wanted to get a post out there so people could start leaving messages about how much they hate my games in a nice and public setting.
