Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Hi there! First up what the hell are you doing in my profile, and how on Earth did you find your way here? Anyway, you are here now, so you may as well go on reading, right? And a few comments would be nice, just to see who is so lost that they found themselves in this backwater of Newgrounds!

So this is redesign day! I guess my line of jokes about how this day would never come will have to be put to rest- I'm sure nobody is complaining! A few thoughts upon the new features, and a couple of small reminders for myself of how things are on this day, as no doubt in a few months the novelty will have worn off and it will just feel like the home from home Newgrounds has always been for me.

As of yesterday I was a level 14, with that God awful rusty pipe- that I will not miss, and a VP of just over 10. Today I am a level 26, with a weird crooked knife thing, and a VP of 15.53 (EDIT- that was a bug, I'm now down to 10.87, though that is still more than before)! Happy days indeed!

Everything looks shiny and new, even though it was slow for a while (hey look, my typing is keeping up on screen now!). Lots of people are excited about the new levels, while others are moaning about the bugs. You'd think after 10 months of waiting for this they could at least wait a few more days for the glitches to be ironed out!

Personally I love Bytesize- that has made me visit the front page for the first time in years! Also the new portal features, with the new flash player and no new windows for reviews etc is fantastic. It makes the whole experience so much more streamlined.

I'm sure I'll stumble across more new things as I explore!

As I have no talent with flash, audio, or art...

I'm currently writing a new BBS story for the NG Mafia, but once this short series is completed I fully intend to start a story thread in General and include volunteers from the BBS. That should be in a month or so if all goes to plan, and as a spur of the moment thing, if you comment here that you want to take part you'll get a better role. Yeah, no cross dressing serial rapist for you! Feel free to give me story ideas as well- right now I am thinking of setting it in a historical period, so give me some suggestions!

My previous stories can also be found HERE should you be curious.

Honestly I have very little else to say, and the character count available for this is enormous! I'll be moving back to the UK (having spent a year in Colorado) in two weeks time (31st July), so my NG time will be reduced for a while. Just a heads up for anyone that might care!

Who the hell is this? SENTIO? I better go back. The redesign is much more interesting than this place. How the hell did I manage to stumble in here anyway? Ha, kidding. :)

Yeah, there won't be any redesign jokes anymore. Which is quite saddening indeed, since some of them were quite humorous. The new Bytesize feature is great. I could spend hours looking at the splendid animations they have for display.

Wow, you have a lot of writing planned. :P The story thread you mentioned you would establish in the General Forum sounds like a great idea. :) Can't wait to see it happen. Oh, and about that role you would give to someone if the individual would comment here- Hello. If you do put me in your awesome stories in the future though, you better make me the best fucking Penguin swordsman in the whole story, especially if it's based on a historical period :P. J/K. It's entirely up to you if you want to include me in your stories and what role I would play. :)

We will you miss once you move back to the UK, but we know you'll be back, so there aren't any problems there. Hope you have a great time playing your Wii once you get back, though. :D

Good luck with everything you have planned in the future.

Thanks :D. I won't be going far, don't worry!

Consider one main role yours! I may need a few more details off you at the time (no offence, but I don't think a character named 'PenguinLink' will quite fit- I think NG usernames will most likely become surnames or nicknames). Also feel free to suggest a period to set it! Right now I'm toying with Medieval England and Ancient Rome, but I also quite like Tudor England, Victorian England, Ancient Mayan or Aztec, ANcient Egyptian... you get the idea! Whatever it is I'll be doing plenty of research on it to get my facts right!

Now go get out of here before the flying monkeys eat you!

I think I'm going to B/P again. My apprentice seems to have wussed out (again), so I suppose it is up to Slash to keep his own legacy alive.

YOU BETTER WATCH OUT BOOOOOOOY

I have a nice cushion at the moment, but while you are getting back into it I am going to be dropping in pace for a couple of months. Once I am back at university in late September I may well be back at a pace that can hold you off though =D

I don't give up without a fight!

Awww I'll miss you Rob when you stop using this a lot and go back to the UK!

I'll be here plenty no doubt, but will have a load of other things to be getting on with as well :). Things to see, people to do... wait, did I get that right?

Also anyone worked out if you can do gray text in these yet? I've seen quite a few failed attempts!
