Since everyone went to Comicon Tom wanted me to hang out at the NG office to keep an eye on things while they are away. So here I sit. I feel kinda lonely since I'm using a computer I'm not familiar with and I can't get on AIM to keep in contact with mods, Liljim, etc. Tom has Trillian installed and I don't want to mess around with it or install anything like AIM on his computer. So I will be relying on PM's while I'm here if there are any "emergencies".

My kids and wife are here. The kids are watching a DVD on the giant NG office TV and my wife is currently being treated to "Chocolate Rain" so she can see what all the fuss is about with that.

For those who enjoyed the otter article, here's the otter smelling its business.

Just got back with the family from the Lehigh Valley Zoo, previously known as the Trexler Game Preserve. We had a good time as it's a smaller zoo, some what remote, and usually not very crowded. If you live near it, I encourage you to go with the family and help support it, as they need support to stay in business. My in-laws donated money to adopt the River Otter they keep there as a gift to my kids, and today was the first time we actually saw it swimming around. Normally it's just sleeping under a log. At one point it got out of the water, got ontop of a rock, turned it's back to the audience, took a shit, and then turned around and smelled it. The rest of the time it was pretty cute as you can see below. Here are some more ZOO PICTURES.

This will be available in the event CPF and other means of contact are down.

Just a reminder to everyone that we are still fixing a lot of bugs around the site. Don't PM me about them, check bob.newgrounds.com for his blog and report bugs there ONLY if they aren't listed.

Also be patient with your special requests to me, and don't go PM'ing the entire NG staff because your request isn't being dealt with instantly. Some requests may not be able to be processed at the moment and it could be a week or two before we can. So everyone just CHILL for a bit and try not to request things that aren't highly important. Things like name changes, etc, can wait.

Played the Wii tonight for like 3-4 hours. It had some error when my wife and I were playing Cooking Mama or whatever (she wanted it). Then I was playing Wii Sports and I was Golfing when it just froze. Is this normal Wii behavior? Should I exchange it? I got the replacement plan, so they could just swap it.

I was able to snag a Wii today at my local Game Stop. I had been trying to avoid purchasing one because I hardly have time to play my 360. However, my wife played a Wii at her friend's house and after that she just had to have one. So the Wii will be her b-day present, anniversary present, etc. The kids will probably have fun with it too. I'm sure I'll give it a try, but it's no GoW. :)

Well, during the downtime many NG fans came to the Newgrounds Fan Room on Paltalk to hang out. Some of our regulars didn't care for the flood of new users, but it was something different and things have returned to normal. Here is a screen shot of the record usage that I saw. EDIT: I've been informed a screen shot exists that shows 86 users in the room.

It wouldn't seem right if I didn't have an OH SNAP blog post! So here we go! There's an orb weaver spider hanging out by our outdoor clock and it spins a big old web now and then. Just a quick shot to test out the blog.

Hello Newgrounds fans! I hope you all enjoy the new look of the site and all the cool new features. Congratulations to everyone on the NG team who slaved away on this redesign for many months. The wait was worth it and I can't wait to see all the other new features the NG team will come up with in the future. Now show your love for Newgrounds by ordering some stickers.
