Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

As I stood at the counter of the local coffee shop at 9:30 this morning waiting for my take-out bagel sandwich, the rest of the office walked through the door. We said "hello" after which they proceeded to look around for a place to sit. I quickly reminded them that the site was going down for the redesign at 10am, as was the stated plan. This remark was quickly shrugged off as they sat down for breakfast. I grabbed my sandwich and returned to the office. The clock struck 10am and there I sat, in an empty office (except for Josh from the Behemoth), as Newgrounds.com came to a screeching halt. Sure, I could have waited 15 minutes for everyone else to get back, but I figured that while it would take hours to complete the launch, we were at least going to start on time. Well, that, and I'm an asshole.

Could Tim be Tom's evil counterpart? Sounds like it... Everything worked out? No one got hurt?

Everybody wins.

I'm not Evil, at least, I don't think I am. If you go to the staff page and click correctly, you'll find Tom's evil counterpart ;)

I like Johnny's story better. All it lacks is something exploding. And women.

Good story, ain't it great that one of the few things all humans have in common in personalities, is we all like screwing other people over.
