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.

May. 21, 2009 | 10:26 PM MaestroRage says:

<3!

So he's not Finnished here?

May. 22, 2009 | 10:31 PM The-Swain responds:

I see what you've done here today

May. 21, 2009 | 10:27 PM Killerwolverine says:

And here I thought that world domination was enough. Hit me up if you ever need help with anything, I've been told that my voice is desperately manly.

PLEASE. PLEASE, I NEED WORK SO BADLY. OH GOD PLEASE HELP ME.

May. 21, 2009 | 10:28 PM bl00db47h says:

Cool! say, whatever happened to racist vampires? Anyway, have fun with the Po3 and mastermind!

May. 21, 2009 | 10:28 PM Revann says:

He looks...different.... Its his imPECable abs isn't it. Or he not evil anymore. That would suck.

May. 21, 2009 | 10:32 PM The-Swain responds:

All the previous episodes had to kinda...twist his appearance to fit with the first episode desk shot, which was the staple angle of the series. But I'm not using the old backgrounds or artwork anymore, so he's free to look how I wanted at last.

He needs a bit more rendering in that shot too, but he finally looks a bit more like his appearance on the Mastermind shirt/MWC menu image.

Have a good time swaine making it

May. 21, 2009 | 10:46 PM Afro-Ninja says:

Digging the new mastermind angle. I feel like I also need to add some kind of sarcastic comment or inside joke reference but I don't have the willpower right now.

May. 21, 2009 | 10:51 PM The-Swain responds:

That's ok I forgive you, I know you've never watched any of my cartoons so an inside joke would be a stretch.

May. 21, 2009 | 10:56 PM MysticShinHanKu says:

Your talents amaze me. When, exactly, are you going to have a cartoon on TV? You need to be one of the ones that save it because cartoons are doing pretty awful these days. Your comedy reminds me of some of the good nicktoons and older Cartoon Network shows. A lot of Blockhead reminds me of Invader ZIM, which was great until they canceled it for no reason.

Anyway, do you have any hopes of pitching a cartoon show to a network? I'm not even sure how one would go about doing that.

May. 21, 2009 | 11:08 PM VidGameDude says:

dude Rtil unbelievably pissed.....what are you gona do about it?
(kick his ass at the Con)

lol

anyways i saw a mock up of mastermind that somone made....i cant remember...
Anywho i saw that there was a female character name Gina with White hair who was the mastermind's Leuitenant or somthing......
Thought that would be a bit awesome to have in the series...no?

well i'll see ya l8r dude.....i got work to do with Kirb.....i think...idk he still fell from a 5 story building.....

l8s

May. 22, 2009 | 2:06 AM The-Swain responds:

He won't be pissed, he's no less an entertainer than myself. He just keeps us artists amused while we artists keep everyone else amused ;)

And I'm not sure, I do remember Pox's Mastermind poster which kicks too much ass for one person to withstand.

May. 21, 2009 | 11:14 PM Fawx says:

rtil.

May. 22, 2009 | 1:20 AM The-Swain responds:

Probably soon.

May. 21, 2009 | 11:17 PM DanMasterFlash says:

Will you be the father of my child?

May. 21, 2009 | 11:29 PM KurtWilder2027 says:

Ha! Thats kewl...

May. 21, 2009 | 11:54 PM Starogre says:

May. 22, 2009 | 12:20 AM igott says:

Oh, wow.

May. 22, 2009 | 12:23 AM mo4form says:

I only have one word to respond to that: Analingus.

May. 22, 2009 | 1:28 AM Jonas says:

So hey, remember when we (you) were drinking and said if I got voice equipment I could do some lines? :3 No.... ? Oh... okay.

May. 22, 2009 | 2:21 AM FrozenFire says:

Don't stop!

Believing!

Woahaowhaoawhwaoooooooo!

May. 22, 2009 | 3:14 AM RubberNinja says:

Your teams going to rock the core. Ours is going to rooock the casbah.

May. 22, 2009 | 5:14 AM The-Swain responds:

And then we will Clash AAAAAAHAHAH get it, I referenced the band that did that song!

May. 22, 2009 | 4:25 AM SardonicSamurai says:

I'm coming to Wizard Con, but I'm not cool. Can I still say "HEY!" or "HIZZAY!"?

May. 22, 2009 | 5:14 AM The-Swain responds:

Oh hey...! It looks like we're gonna meet! Awkward.

May. 22, 2009 | 4:43 AM wolfdawg125 says:

annnnnddd.....(throws computer out window) touchdown! good luck you crazy alcoholic you.

May. 22, 2009 | 5:24 AM Gonzossm says:

You can never go wrong with buff men in tight clothes hahaha. Awsome stuff I love mastermind =)

May. 22, 2009 | 5:36 AM Therman says:

sweet! <3

May. 22, 2009 | 5:54 AM Hoekzema says:

Is this power of three thing a competition? If it is you have a tough competition.
Adam Phillipsm teams up with Weasel?

haha though I love your flashes so I'll be cheering for Team: Pony Princess Parade

seriously who came up with that name?

May. 22, 2009 | 6:25 AM The-Swain responds:

I have learned most everything I know about ambience from Adam. I am prepared to crush him :X Also, Goldfish will take any programmer you know to school, then drop them off and tell them to be outside at 3 PM where they will be picked up, taken home, and then WHIPPED.

Also, it's not a competition so no one has anything to be worried about :) I hope every submission is spectacular, because it will make the event more popular in general and then all games will benefit!

May. 22, 2009 | 6:47 AM MrQnix says:

He know looks like my gym teacher...

May. 22, 2009 | 7:27 AM cantflyman says:

Aww shucks Swain, stop impressing me with you talents already. >:O

On a serious note, is there a certain Po3 team that you are interested in seeing?

May. 22, 2009 | 9:19 AM lenkobiscuit says:

you wont beat my sexy brit team ;)

May. 22, 2009 | 2:33 PM The-Swain responds:

Yea that's probably true, but I've got at least one Brit on my team already, and Psychogoldfish drinks like one - it's all I've got to even the odds :X

May. 22, 2009 | 9:43 AM RYNOL says:

More like, "Swain Returns / Power of 3"

Seriously, where have you been lately?

May. 22, 2009 | 9:48 AM Zombie-Pimp says:

Lotsa shit talk boi, you say like you're gonna rape all the other Po3 groups with a stick, but if that list of teams doesn't intimidate you then you're a BLOCKHEAD LOLOLOLOLOL SEE WHAT I DID THERE.

May. 22, 2009 | 9:53 AM Luis says:

mastermind needs a love interest. Too much testosterone, needs a little romance.

May. 22, 2009 | 2:31 PM The-Swain responds:

Just do like I do and watch episode one on loop, and hate myself.

May. 22, 2009 | 10:08 AM fluffkomix says:

what are you talking about luis? he's got boobzilla.

May. 22, 2009 | 10:08 AM lenkobiscuit says:

May. 22, 2009 | 2:34 PM The-Swain responds:

May. 22, 2009 | 12:02 PM RubberNinja says:

Well aren't you just an armadillo. AAAAAAHAHAH get it, I badly and obscurely referenced the songs music video!!

May. 22, 2009 | 12:50 PM Hoekzema says:

haha well good luck then

May. 22, 2009 | 12:53 PM Kirbopher says:

OH YOU'LL TRY, BUT YOU WON'T TAKE US DOWN.

Lookin' forward to #4.

May. 22, 2009 | 1:16 PM Kanzer says:

Oh GREAT, Mastermind! I love that man, seriously. Think he should be included in the bunch of characters in the Flash portal header or something.

So glad to know you'll go on with the series! ^^

May. 22, 2009 | 2:35 PM The-Swain responds:

He was a little late that party, when the guys were putting together the redesign. He's on the giant banner that Newgrounds hangs up at conventions though, right up there at the top.

May. 22, 2009 | 1:29 PM TomaMoto says:

Kindly hand over all your science, douchebag.

May. 22, 2009 | 2:35 PM The-Swain responds:

Hey there doc, we were in the neighborhood and thought we'd drop by for a little SCIENCE.

May. 22, 2009 | 2:06 PM KidDeath says:

Skill! You have it. I want it.

FIX THAT.

May. 22, 2009 | 3:34 PM JT1 says:

Sounds great. I have really missed you and your submissions.

May. 22, 2009 | 4:29 PM lenkobiscuit says:

Haha oh shit, i didn't notice liljim there!

May. 22, 2009 | 8:35 PM rawkr122 says:

All the mastermind stuff is some of my favorite work on newgrounds. Pop out another Mastermind and all I'll need is a condom and I'll be set for a week and a half.

May. 23, 2009 | 4:08 AM Shrobe says:

so i believe theres going to be a movie called mastermind by dreamworks and the plot kinda sounds like something you'd wright for an episode.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1001526/

May. 23, 2009 | 9:08 AM Jimp says:

NG vs Dreamworks lawsuit plz

May. 24, 2009 | 9:33 AM reveihca says:

I want another damn shape video.

May. 27, 2009 | 2:39 AM The-Swain responds:

Me too, but if only I did it then it would be lonely.

May. 24, 2009 | 2:36 PM yahuwa says:

I notice a scare... Was that always there and I'm just retarded, or is it new and significant.

P.S. I'm trying to find a crew to work with, it's not going so well.

My real question is what is your crew/group or friends and how did you get them together?

May. 27, 2009 | 2:39 AM The-Swain responds:

you mean Power of Three?

Goldfish and I have been meaning to work together for a while so this was a great chance, and Jim was Goldfish's top pick for music and also my favorite NG staff member THATS RIGHT JEFF I SAID IT.

May. 24, 2009 | 6:07 PM ScelesticFish says:

So does this have anything to do with that cross-over thing with Krinkels?

May. 27, 2009 | 2:38 AM The-Swain responds:

Haha no, that's just me being lazy and Krinkels being...playing video games.

May. 25, 2009 | 9:04 AM RYNOL says:

How the fuck does the Mastermind get such large muscles by just sitting behind a desk? Is he on roids or something?

May. 27, 2009 | 2:37 AM The-Swain responds:

He got them from the same place as those nasty facial scars.

UH OH BACKSTORY

May. 25, 2009 | 10:17 AM barbiegoesbad says:

If Mastermind will be done staring in his new flash movie by Thursday, will he be picking me up from the airport? We can have a drink or two and discuss my new role as a recruit!

May. 27, 2009 | 2:37 AM The-Swain responds:

this isnt one of your singles websites

May. 27, 2009 | 5:30 AM Coop83 says:

My minions! We shall start our next phase of the world domination plan in London! Using my high powered resonance cannon, coupled with the London Eye, we shall subvert the entire population of Central London and from there, the world shall be mine!

Mwahahahahahahaha!

Did you get it?

*click* Once more, with feeling, sir. We're still rolling.

May. 27, 2009 | 10:26 AM sjh09055 says:

May. 27, 2009 | 11:26 PM jakenator85 says:

i just subscribed to your flash submissions

May. 28, 2009 | 8:30 PM Oihu says:

Hey mr. Swain i was wondering if i could do a bio flash of blockhead. Like show what he was before he became stupid because there are lots of unanswered question about him like why was he called yuri? and how did the Time doctor know who blockhead was? how did him and his conchance meet? very questionable questions right? so can i make a flash about this mabye you can give me a few points. Send a message back to me please. I will post states about it. that's if you allow me.

May. 28, 2009 | 10:17 PM The-Swain responds:

A bunch of those questions are answered in the Blockhead game and also in the unfinished webcomic on my site ;)

May. 29, 2009 | 1:04 AM Kirbyzilla says:

If you locked mastermind and blockhead in a room with no windows for 2 weeks, who would come out alive? :o

May. 29, 2009 | 7:25 AM PieMastar says:

Sweet.

May. 31, 2009 | 2:01 PM RYNOL says:

"He got them from the same place as those nasty facial scars.
UH OH BACKSTORY"

OH WHAT THE FUCK?! Does that mean I have to wait for Mastermind: The Prequel, or Mastermind Zero? Then again, I'm not expecting you to come up with a logical backstory for such a perverted Mastermind. haha

Jun. 2, 2009 | 9:50 PM RIGO1 says:
