You sure took a crowbar to the head of Newgrounds, and had a good look around... that interview will be the Rosetta stone of this site for years to come.

But to quote the movie Serenity, "What you planned, and what takes place, ain't always been similar." Tom says a lot of things (about developing Newgrounds), but only a portion of them (can) get done, before the subject in question becomes: redundant, past expiration, too far gone or addressed in a half-assed fashion. I'm kinda critical, yeah.

Is this a subtle way of you asking me to interview you for my show?

No, not really. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any salient, contemporary questions for me... though I wouldn't be opposed to try. Whatever helps you out broseph! Mindchamber would be a good interview, Stamper as well.

Let's summon him now: @Mindchamber would you be interested in being interviewed on my show?

honestly I wouldnt mind, but ive been out of the game so long Id doubt Id have anything interesting to contribute

Fuck your flash work, I wanna hear from the world's best mailman!

Are we Talking about Tom Fulp? I LOVE talking about Tom Fulp

SHUT UP.

hahaha

:D :D

Any chance of you uploading this to Newgrounds?

Can I upload a 54 minute track onto NG? I'd Audio Portal it if possible...

How big is the file size? Can you compress the audio any further if it's too big?

Is there anything on NG surpassing 30+ minutes in terms of audio?

*gasp* Tom cussed on public radio!

Great interview. Good job, ZJ! :)

Thank you so much!

That was REALLY good! You guys didn't go off tangent and kept the conversation interesting. <3

I have a higher appreciation for Newgrounds being uncensored. I never thought about the sacrifices that had to be made just to upload whatever we want.

Really awesome interview! Thanks for that!

Thanks for listening!

Additionally I wonder if there were any thoughts to make a sister website to Newgrounds that would be modest for the "public".

I don't like thinking about it, but I wonder if it would of helped with sponsorships, etc.
Thinking about it more I'm sure it would of been double the work and one would be dropped in favor of the more successful one. BLEH.

To me, doing anything like that would almost be like admitting defeat. If we're starting a sister site, you could make the argument that we might as well start from scratch with everything...

It was great to listen to. Always good to hear input of someone with experience.

Thank you! Any suggestions for who else you would like to hear from?

Maybe someone who works on the back end of the machine. I only don't know how interesting that will be. It all depends on the questions you prepare for them. PsychoGoldfish maybe? Had a good laugh when he brought up the ng chat during the interview.

Really, anyone with a decade worth of experience that can give us some insight will do.

I'll have to ask PG in the near future. My fear is just that he and I would just talk about WWE since we're both fans. Lol.

Finally took the time to really listen through this thing! One hour seemed like a long time, but it blew by past fast. Great interview. Took up a bunch of interesting topics, plenty of backstories and new angles on events I thought I knew plenty about, even if chat's still coming out next week and no new revelations site/wise gamewise. :)

The difference in audio levels was a bit problematic, couldn't turn the volume too far up or you'd be too loud, couldn't turn it too far down or Tom wouldn't be heard either... but at least it WAS possible to find a working balance. Any plans to interview any other Newgroundians? Plenty of written interviews already, but it feels much more personal in audio, and more random, more live, more opportunities for unplanned revelations and surprises. :P Was a fun listen!

THANK YOU FOR THE KIND WORDS!

No plans as of yet, but I'm still open to suggestions. I'd love to try to get Stamper on, but I'm assuming he'd be a bit harder to get to than Tom...

I agree with ShireSpeare, there's only a handful running NG on a daily basis, Wade would be the next logical choice, though i doubt he'd have the time for a full on hour interview, or maybe? Curious about surly Liljim...

Worst audio I had the displeasure to (tape) edit, was a radio show, phoned in, and not on a very good landline phone, for an automated, underpowered AM station :p Gag me with a spoon, dude.

100th follower ;)

Score!

Finally know what Tom sounds like. Anyway, this was a cool production dude. Have any more to share?

Other things have popped up in my life, but I'd love to do more. Any suggestions for who you would like to hear from?

I wonder if it would be possible to get other NG staff memebers and hear their stories?

Would love to have Luis on...

You could make it a mini web series. "ZJ does Newgrounds."

Would be fun! Wish I could do these in person.

Friends don't let friends shark jump |: No pre-warning from Tom either.

I saw. :(

So... did you have an opinion about my last comment here?
(Ah ha, now you have to dig to find it! See what a mess Tom wrought upon us?!)
