Ah, ok, I'll give in and use this as a blog now.

I just bought Picross DS for... er.. the DS. And it's pretty awesome. I think of it as a more entertaining sudoku. Same principle- fill in the squares based on the clues. Only with picross you create a picture each time, and the grid can change sizes. There's also more little rules to follow with picross.

If you're interested in trying it out, I suggest looking up the game 'Armor Picross' (made by kenney and syko227)

Picross DS also features 'daily picross' which gives you some sort of goal to accomplish once per day, and it tracks your progress over time. Neat stuff.

Also, I hope everyone that wanted stickers sent me an email, cause I got them all sent out today. Sorry!

Jumping on the Comicon bandwagon, I figured I'd throw up a post before I head out tomorrow morning.

I'll be at Comicon in CA from Wed-Sun, taking in the sights and hanging out at the NG booth. I got a bunch of Afro Ninja stickers printed up for the occasion, so be sure to stop by and get some!

I'm pretty excited, as this is my first year attending comicon. There seem to be a record number of other NG artists/users coming as well, so I hope I see all you guys there :)

UPDATE: check out my post-comicon page:

The redesign is here!

It's been a long time coming, but I think you'll agree it was well worth it. And hey, what better way to celebrate than with some big news of my own?

You might remember one of my games from last year, a worms-themed battle game called Territory WAR. I've spent a lot of time since then working on a new engine. Smoother game-play, better graphics (drawn by poxpower), more weapons, new stages, even destructible terrain! Oh, and did I mention you can play ONLINE?

That's right, I'm teaming up with the X-Gen team (Stick Arena Online, Defend Your Castle) and using their MMOcha server software to bring you Territory WAR Online! You'll be able to register an account, play people across the world, and track all your stats!

It's quite a large undertaking, and there's much work to be done, but I couldn't help making some kind of announcement about it. This is easily the largest flash project I've undertaken, and also the reason why you haven't seen much from me this year aside from Escape Games. I'm hoping to get it completed by year's end, but we'll see how that goes. I'll post more info and some screens on my site when it gets further along.

Lastly, big thanks go to MindChamber for helping me create a new logo/intro animation. You can see a tiny bit of it in my user picture, but I'm saving the full thing for later. : )
