oh and just for added slap-in-the-face, I went to the NG homepage right after that and the first thing I saw was a news post about "Metal Gear Mario 2: Sons Of Mushroom".
I dont even know what to say to that
Hey look man, my name's "I-smel". What I lack in smarts, I at least pay back in honesty. Boink!

you've developed a talent for making inventive and intuitive new gameplay mechanics over the last 18 months. it's a skill that will take you a long way if there's any justice in this world.
don't play it down bro, you've got a long term project under your belt now. that's gotta look good on your cv, yeah?
anyway you're a swell-ass dude, don't tell yourself otherwise.
So, how about that epic game release?
i duno lol
I've just read your reply to that Ditocoaf guy and I seriously think you're exaggerating. I know nothing about you at all in real life but here's my advice. GO TO UNI and go to another city (I live in Newcastle and it's quality) but any big city would be class. Uni is the best thing you can ever do, ever. I stayed at home and went to a close uni which was a big mistake but I've visited friends in Aberdeen and it's unreal. For the few days I was there I've got some mint drunken memories.
What exactly is your idea of a failure? I'm not gonna get a fantastic job, I know that. I'm not a genius but I've got all right social skills. I'm more than happy to have an fairly average job with quality mates I can go out with whenever. I go to town at least once a week and I'm happy. As a side note, Flash and stuff is sort of a secret hobby for me. My mates would probably take the piss if they knew ha.
Don't really know where I'm going with this rant but there you go. Like I say I know nothing about you but that's my take on it.
DERP!!!!!
TOON AND THAT!!!!!
Good efffort, daft cooooooooont
hah, early may
its bin finished for ages
I said to the guy lets fuckin get it out, an he was like duurrrrrr maybe next month
AGAIN >:(
that throws a spanners in my plan cos now Ive got no money
Glad to hear this is finally finished, very much looking forward to playing it through!
Ditocoaf
This is good news on several levels.
It sounds like it'll release right after I finish my final exams, which couldn't be any more perfect. Looking forward to this!
Do you feel any sort of sense of relief, or will that have to wait until it's actually online and being played?
I-smel
I feel its my responsibility here to say "yo its just a flash game". Like- TO ME its the best thing in the world, but I can't see it livin up to the expectations of most people here.
the fact that theres about 30 more comments on this page A MONTH after I stopped updating is madness.
Anyway no, the small bit of relief I do feel is under a giant blanket of being annoyed at myself for takin on this stupid endeavour and thinkin about all I've put into it when I couldve bin doing actual important things with my life. From this point I know that it's jus gonna be another flash game that'll come n go like every other flash game n everyone'll forget about it a couple days after it comes out.
I can't really think of anythin that could happen to make me feel better about that.
The part that's even worse is that right now Ive got a bunch o full awesome ideas for new games (A WHOLE FUCKING LOT SMALLER) that I know full well Im gonna be compelled to make, and I feel like instead of growing up Im just goin around in circles making weird internet shit- FLASH GAMES (because thats what they are whether I like it or not) and Im gonna wake up one day n realise that Ive missed the last train to becoming anything I ever want to be. And from that point I guess all that's left is to carry on being a disgusting internet loser til Im dead.
Then I realise that what I do in my spare time isnt the CAUSE of me being a failure, its just one EFFECT of it. so I might as fucking well carry on.
whether or not anyone's playing this game, or likes it; I really dont care.
except you guys, cos youre all cool.
well- not "cool". youre definately not cool- but what Im trying to say is thanks anyway.
