Castle Crashers News

I dunno if Tom would actually announce this, but it looks like Castle Crashers just got rated by the ESRB. They gave it a "Teen" rating (which I think everyone either expected or they didn't really care), but I think the most important thing here is that there's probably not much time left until it finally hits the 360. Just a little update.

Times like these make me wish i had a 360.

Times like these make me wish my brother wasn't so addicted to halo that he RROD'd my 360 and it's currently out for repairs.

this just may be the biggest thread on the flash forum...

Art Showcase thread is just a bit longer.

You can all bitch about not having 360s while I go mope around about not having live, but having the 360, so I STILL can't get it.

Why don't you just buy live...instead of moping.

The dreaded 'rents...and the fact that the 360 is leaving my house in a few months to go to college with my brosef.

Cool Kids

So all the cool kids who don't have 360's and PS3 tags, we need to think of a new topic.

Play the Mario theme song blindfolded in front of about 250 people at a school talent show.

I've wanted to see it for a while, but I have no idea where it's playing and I never took the time to find out. What would you rate it out of 10?

Ha, good luck, pico blast has 4.3 mil views and is only now reaching $1,000. The NG ad performance has dropped off severely. I dunno why, but my guess is because of the vast number of people using them now.

Just checked - yesterday was a little low (just over $1 CPM), but overall this month's been better than May. It might just be that you've disabled them on some big sites, which would create a gap between views and income.

It could just be missing stats, too. I think that the NG-side stuff is still a little glitchy - you'll know when you get your cheque.

I would say about an 8. and lucky for you its out on DVD now, you can run up to blockbuster and get it!

Yea, goldfish was having some issues with it where it was showing no/severly low stats or double stats. Quite a weird bug if you ask me but its a bug nontheless.

It does depend on the sites you're on, some sites have traffic that's more inclined to click, some games attract people that are more inclined to click, and there are a ton of other factors influencing whether people click. I don't have ads disabled on any sites though, so I don't think that's the problem, nor do I really think the bugs in the API stats are that prevalent anymore (especially when reporting earnings). I don't know how many views your game has, but I suspect that once you get up in the millions you'd see a drop-off in eCPM.

It depends on how well you integrate them into the game, as well. There are lots of factors, really.

I mean, having something which takes a while to load might make people more inclined to click on your ads. You could also stick them at natural breaks in the game.

Last one I finished, I stuck a few at the ends of the major bosses - "You've been playing for a long time. Why not take a short break to visit one of our sponsors?" It's a bit whorish but so long as you place them where they're not going to break up any fast-paced action you could do well from them. You could also stick them at the end of your game, where people are going to be naturally inclined to click off somewhere else.

I won't know how well all of this stuff is doing until the NG system is out of Beta, but my CPM seems pretty healthy. I'm thinking about putting a menu item for 'Today's sponsors!' or something to see how well that goes.

Sorry, I forgot to include that I played it on piano (which is why I say I'm not Martin Leung, the Video Game Pianist.) XD

didn't record it, unfortunately. Maybe I'll film myself playing and upload it somewhere? I dunno.

Singing blindfolded would be hilarious!

Indeed, it was a mear joke. Sarcasm is fun at times. And no, I'm not a n00b, as you would say. I've been around for longer than you could imagine.

Sorry i didn't read the following posts so i am most likely to double post on other subject's let's get back to the point...

1. Who the f*ck talks like that even the queen of England doesn't speak this way..."It was a mear joke" "Sarcasm is fun at times " Are you retarded or something ?
2.Saying that you are not a noob because you are here a long time is pretty stupid because well just because noob means newbie doesn't mean that you stop being a noob after a while, well most people do but you obviously don't..
3.What is that phrasing longer then you can imagine..What the f*ck ???? does that supposed to mean ? You came out really really stupid!
4.If you don't like what we do around here at the lounge then don't enter it, which gets me to the subject of who are you and why are you posting here ???
5. "You should think your actions boys" Who do you think you are ?! We would do what we want this is a private forum like tom said in "the rules" and that came off like a school principle or something from a lame tv show...
Also if you are stupid at least stand for your opinions don't be stupid and a wuss, saying that it was a joke after it was proven to you that what you said was stupid and wrong is just weak...

Guess Whose Back

Plays shitty Eminem song

Aren't all of you sooo happy? Yeah, I figured you wouldn't be.

Anyway, I've been in Ghettoburg for a week and I went fishing in teh Missouri! It was as boring as hell, didn't catch anything, and...well 7 hours on a boat doing nothing isn't exactly the most fun thing to do when its really windy and cold out...

Anyway, can someone fill my ass, I mean fill me in, on what happened while I was gone?

Thanks regs!

I love the regs and
the people here too
like Duder, Kart-Man
and the creator - Lu

P.S. I hate Eminem
