You're welcome
I absolutely love telling stories and it's more or less why I do everything I do, from making games, to teaching & writing.

You too :D
Wait what?
Also, my uni's mascot is a yellow jacket too :D
A Newgrounds success story is one of the best success stories! I wish you two the best in your future careers!
Thank you!
This...this is for what NG was made.
And this is all she asks for.
How can you call NG a "she"?
No female would ever make so many cock jokes.
Maybe a lesbian...
But she's so pretty D:
Congratulations! Such a heartwarming story :D
Thank you!
Very cool.
Back atcha!
Oh I assumed you were like 27 this whole time.
Wait I'm lie, cheat, stealin my way to afford plane tickets over here, how the heck do you guys have a playable booth and tickets to GDC n FGS already!?
Also boooo I missed the indie meetup thing. I'm hangin out with you guys next year. Congrats, your GDC wrap-up stuff was fun.
Yeah...a lot of people think I look older than I really am.
Basically the whole development of Joe so far (along with the trip and everything) has been funded with the sponsorship money from the flash version of Concerned Joe and the revenue of Xelu's other flash game, Kawai Run 2.
And since I'm still living off my parents (and Xelu as well until recently) none of that money was wasted on rent, food or any of that sort.
Funny story about that indie meetup at the park, the one day where I decided to leave Xelu and rest at the hotel, he bumped into John Remero in the street and stumbled upon all those indies hanging out at the park.
So it's okay, I missed it too :D
Cool story! Congratulations on your acceptance to University of Rochester.
Thanks!
NG fosters the best of viewers and artists alike, I'm so glad your life has been enriched by your time here, and we are all stronger because of it.
Your story inspires me. I've been on here for a lot longer, and have done a lot less. Congratulations on getting into such a prestigious school, and congratulations on doing something you love.
Thank you for the kind words :D
well done poochi
Oh_stop_it_you.png
Your story is kinda inspirational.
Congrats <3
Thanks!
It's good to see you're doing something good with your life. :)
I have no idea why I missed this post when you posted it... Might have been those NATA audio entries. Anyway, congrats! It's a great achievement, and you *should* feel good about it. :P
Out of curiosity, what are you studying?
I haven't decided on the course of study yet, but probably something engineering related.
Wonderful story!
Thank you :)
