Happy Pico Day! We’ve been loving all the fan works celebrating Pico, NG and my birthday today.

For some brief history, the first Pico Day was organized in the forums in 2006 and my birthday was selected as the date. We ended up making it an official event each year afterwards but I tried to move it away from my birthday because it felt weird. I also tried to make it a broader celebration of Newgrounds, however it remained Pico-centric. Adding to the awkwardness, people would still post fan art on my birthday, so it felt like I was making a mess.

This year is the 30th Anniversary of Newgrounds and there are a number of 30th Anniversary projects in the works, so I decided to just get back to basics and have Pico Day on my birthday. There’s a decent chance it will stay this way from now on, as a more informal event for anyone who wants to make something to celebrate the site each year.

PukeBomb Interview and Fanzine

I got interviewed by @NickSenny from @PukeBomb and you can read it in their fanzine, available on @Mantis’ store, Abandonwear! You can also watch the interview here:

Site Updates

Expect some downtime tomorrow (Thursday) when we roll out a bunch of internal changes. When that’s done, let us know if anything is broken because a lot will have changed under the hood!

Tune in next week for a new feature introduction, if all goes well. This is the one for Flash fans I’ve been hinting at. Be sure to play the Flash Forward entries if you haven’t yet!
