SAILORMOONRED does not tolerate ImpendingRiot's balderdash.

Incidentally, I sent the same kind of video to Rtil after he made fun of me.

So JohnnyUtah and I are almost done with our game. Like, actually almost done. Game itself is finished. We're just ironing out little issues and completing some cutscene work. It's dangerously close.

So right now the working title of the game is:
Ching Chong Beautiful

But because that doesn't sound very Japanese, we're looking for alternatives. Do you guys have any ideas? Bonus points if you can fit the world Beautiful into the title.

Wouldn't you like to name our game?

Thanks for coming by, ALL FIVE OF YOU.

Pink sugar heart attack.

HAY GUYS!

I finished Mastermind 4. Here it is! I cannot believe it's been over a year since I submitted episode 3. By next month I intend to have worked on episode 5, but you know how these things turn out...

I think I might be going to this Anime Supercon in Miami this weekend. Anyone else showing up? I hear Bruce Campbell is gonna be there, isn't that fascinating? If the event doesn't suck, then maybe we can convince NG to branch out toward more Florida conventions, like the fun little Megacon experience we had earlier this year.

Below: Uh oh!

So here we are, guys. Just you and me once again. Let's take a look at our relationship and remember how we got here.

Philly Con - June 19 - 21
Actually it's called Wizard Con or something like that. I'll be up in Philly helping the NG crew to keep Luis from setting fire to the office again. If you think you can make it to the convention, why don't you stop by and say HEY! Or HIZZAY if you're a cool guy. Check Luis's page for updates on that, he's better about that sort of thing and actually cares.

Power of 3 Game-making Event
I sorta made up my own name for the event there - I'm terrible with proper titles today. Anyway, I teamed up with Psychogoldfish and NG's James to rock the core of this event. Thought you should know.

Mastermind 4
The series returns, very soon! I've already started the fourth episode, and it'll be done as fast as my little animating wings can carry me to the end.

------------------

Below:You-Know-Who is coming back.

So I've been on an Indie game kick lately and wanted to share something a buddy of mine put together. Take a look at Andrew's game Jumpman and maybe pop em' an email about what you think? I'm trying to convince him that he should switch to developing Flash games, but it's a losing battle :X

Now that we're all here, let's talk Megacon! Don't forget that I'll be hosting a Newgrounds booth with my old friends Egoraptor, Tomamoto, and that rascally Luis, from Feb 27th to March 1st at the Orlando Convention Center. Why not pop over and support the internet's original Flash portal and the people who continue to make it great!

-Swain

p.s. my birthday is on feb 22 thats like 3 days what did u get me?

Hey kids! Do you like Newgrounds? Do you like Egoraptor? Do you want to punch Tomamoto in the mouth?! WELL THEN THIS IS THE CONVENTION FOR YOU

On Feb 27th until March 1st, you'll find Ego, Toma, and myself hosting a Newgrounds booth at the Orlando Convention Center for MegaCon 2009. This is a call for any Newgrounds fans and artists in the Florida area and beyond to come and support the site! On top of the convention itself (which was wicked awesome last year), you can expect the same kind of after-hours adventures you may have seen at other NG meet-ups. There MAY even be guest appearances by Luis, Tim, and Bob, but only if you're lucky and if you behave yourself xoxo

Oh btw London was the best. Come join us again later this year, eh?

-Swain

Below: Coop and I rock London to the core.

Delays delays.

Working on a new game. That's getting close to done. I'll be honest, I do like working on games. It's been hard to animate again after breaching the game world like I have this year. All I wanna do is code...dear lord, what's wrong with me?!

Got a load of voices to finish for Luis's Sketchbook Tour. If I don't finish them soon, he's gonna take away my drinking privileges in London next year.

And below is a shot of incomplete artwork from Blockhead 11. I won't give you any context though - that's for your imagination to fill in. GOOD LUCK

What have I been up to? I know Blockhead isn't out yet, but that doesn't mean I've been idle! Let's take a look at what a busy Swain I've been.

Blockhead
Ok, so I've been terribly delayed with Blockhead 11, which I promise I have already started. Sorry Blockhead couldn't be on time for Ghostmas this year, but as all you die-hards are aware, Ghostmas is never celebrated on the same day anyway ;) More Blockhead, Conscience, Weevil, and Tongs antics to come.

Mastermind
The new Mastermind Shirts are up in the Newgrounds store, why don't you go take a look and tell me how you think they turned out? Also, have you played Mastermind: World Conqueror yet? I'll be picking up the series again very soon, with Mastermind 4 continuing where 3 left off.

Newgrounds Office Adventure
Afro-Ninja, Luis, and myself joined the Newgrounds crew (minus Tom who was in Japan) for a long weekend of drunken and destructive antics. We made a game about it for your enjoyment.

SeppuKuties
I teamed up with Tony (the Indestructotank/Shift guy) to pump out artwork for a puzzle platformer game called SeppuKuties, where killing yourself becomes a necessary function to getting through some stages. It's a low-obligation game and great for killing time, and let's face it...you've got WAY too much time.

---

Anyway, for you Americans out there, I don't think it's too late to go and vote today. I just did and I feel absolved, like I just went to church or something. It's a good feeling, and you should make it if there's still time.

-Swain

p.s. Speaking of time, here's me on Halloween this year. GREAT SCOTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Come join Luis, Afroninja, Mike (the NG lumberjack from the staff page), and myself for some sweet, kickin, sexual StickAM. Emphasis on COME.

That having been said, I have finished a little thing I like to call a HUGE GAME. GO play it. It's called Mastermind: World Conqueror.

STICK AM!!!!
