Well, besides the 1080p and the extra power.

Its pretty much a big DS with the TV as the top screen.

What that means: All the "neat idea" gimmicky games were already tried and gotten out of devs systems back when the DS launched. They're'll still be gimmicky games of course but it wont be as much as before.

I mean its a big DS, how can you go wrong there?

also in a few hours i'll be 21

i hope this presentation better than yesterday

What I like most about the Wii U is having information that other player don't. Great for all kinds of strategy. Looking forward to it all.

Worried about graphics though. It will only be an advantage for a year or two. Then they will be in the same boat as they are now. But as usual, they are a step ahead of everyone else in terms of gameplay. : P

GLAIEL GAMER IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FLASH OFF

happy 21st

2000 pages of nonsense. congrats to all of you.

Wore one of my Newgrounds shirts to school and the math teacher in the room next to my chemistry class walked in and called me "Captain Newgrounds". Not entirely sure if he was mocking me or not but at least he knows what Newgrounds is. That's good, right? RIGHT?!?!

Happy bimillennial page anniversary guys.

How does that mean he knows what new grounds is? it isn't really a newgrounds reference,

He said, "Yeah, I know what that is."

but more importantly, why did you wear a new grounds shirt to school, if I had a mufti day and I had to wear any shirt that wasn't plain the last thing I'd go for is a new grounds shirt,

American schools don't have uniforms for the most part so at some point I go through everything in my dresser.

Plus I go for my Newgrounds shirt whenever it's clean. I enjoy wearing it.

as soon as someone googles it they'll stumble on the mature section in seconds and think you're a weirdo D:

I couldn't care less what people think of me. They'd find out sooner or later anyway and I'd rather pride myself in what I do rather than shamefully trying to hide my out-of-school life.

Come on Mike, have some self-respect!

Announcing in this epic 2000th page my name change. I needed to change my name for some artistic liberty from the other people involved in my previous name. It's not too hard to figure out what my previous name was. I hope you accept me even though my name is different.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?

I've been approached quite a few times while wearing my Super Meat Boy t-shirt. IT MAKES ME FEEL SPECIAL.

Posting on epic page.

We can talk about our favorite flash bugs, or most memorable crashes, or maybe close calls.

Anyone here still work with flash? As in making games for money etc. Or has everyone moved on?

And woo 2000th page, been here since the start haha.

At work I've probably got a 70/30 split between Flash & Unity. Once Unity can export as a SWF that will probably change to 70/30 in favour of Unity.

From what I've experienced most people know Newgrounds for its spammy games, not its mature section.

One of Tom's long term goals is to include Unity into the mix of things. It makes sense, i mean with the eventual leap into film stuff, it'd make sense to keep a pulse on gaming trends.

The soon the better really. You can already submit Unity content over at Kong and since there's over 60 million installs of the Unity web player, I can't see it going any where but up from here. I remember when some people where saying Silverlight would rival Flash, well Unity actually will and IMO over take Flash for game development in a couple of years from now.

There's nothing wrong with having a tentacle fetish, thank you very much.

I'm very much still in Flash. Even though I still don't submit anything anywhere at all.

Maybe it'll change. One day!

The last time I was on the chat, I did ask Tom about it and he did say it was on the cards. I think this was before Unity said they were going to look into supporting SWF export for support with FP11.

Although after the week I've had with Unity, I'll be happy sticking with Flash for now. Mind you, I've also spent a lot of itme this week trying to use the upgraded AIR for iOS exporter with CS5.5 and get Flixel running at a decent speed on the iPad.

It's not doing very well. Least not compared with the improved AIR for Android exporter... still need to steal JPI's Blackberry Playbook and try it on that...

Why, what happened?

It would, but the thing is that I'd rather prefer Flash for now, mainly because whenever I try to run anything that's made with Unity, the Unity web player crashes and brings my browser down along with it. No matter how many times I update, reinstall, clean install, do this, that, anything -- it still crashes.
If I'm not the only one that's experiencing this, then I can see Unity going downhill from there.

Never seen that personally, although the Unity web player might be redundant soon.

A rush project, that decided to up and collapse on the end-user's machine due to the stars being out of alignment (we finally managed to replicate the bug on the fifth machine we tested on). More than likely something to do with things running on Time.deltaTime instead of a fixed timestep.

Posting on my birth year!

Yeah Unity could very well take over in the next year or so.
I'm still using 100% Flash because I'm a dick and I don't like learning.
