This isn't a Weekly Review Update. I shared my work schedule on Patreon. Which on the schedule you can see what I'm working on in the future, exclusive to the Producer Tier. I thought it would be best to share this schedule with you here as well! The blacked out portions can only be seen on my Patreon. It still gives you an idea of what I'm working on. Which all of Monday's scheduled items are complete.

If you want to contribute to my Patreon, I will be eternally grateful, I suggest you first donate to Newgrounds. If it weren't for Newgrounds, my Patreon would be useless.

What's up party people! It has been a long time since I've done one of these. Things are going great in not only my personal life, but my scheduling as well. With that, I should be able to update all of you on a weekly basis. I was going to change how this format worked. In the end I decided against it. I like the simplistic layout of this. There has been a lot of crazy stuff going on, so let's get to it!

The Weekly Review with TGO #14

17th Anniversary of Greatness

I. 17 Years on Newgrounds

Today I celebrate the day I signed up on this amazing site! I have done a retrospective in the past when I celebrated my 10th Anniversary on Newgrounds. With news post updates I need to go back and clean that post up. Seven years after that time and I have accomplished a lot more on Newgrounds. I started The Tank Tribune, kept interviewing many of the talented creators on Newgrounds, met a lot of new friends, became the co-host of a podcast, and revived the Treasure Hunt with @SplatterDash! If you had told me seven years ago what I would have accomplished up to this point, I would probably have laughed at you. I'll be saving the next large post for when I hit 20 Years on the site.

To old friends, @ZJ, @Ryanson, @Wegra, @Ragnarokia, @Troisnyx, @DrSevenSeizeMD, and @Bosa; to new friends, @Cyberdevil, @ThatJohnnyGuy, @BenTibbetts, @Malachy, @ZaneLittle, and @Aalasteir. And of course especially @TomFulp. Thank you all for making my stay here incredible, and for all the help you have given me. It means more than you will ever know.

II. The Interviewer

@TheInterviewer has made its grand return. I am back to weekly updates, so you can expect to see new interviews every Wednesday! There's an Interview with Prox276 up now that you can read! If you're a Producer on my Patron account, you will receive new interviews a week before they're posted on Newgrounds. You can read an Interview with VoicesByCorey on there right now. There's also a sneak peek for an upcoming guest, who is actually a returning guest from over ten years ago! Follow The Interviewer for new interviews and read some of the past interviews as well! You can leave suggestions for new interviews here or in The Interviewer Thread!

III. The Tank Tribune

@TheTankTribune is still going strong. I have removed sections from it over time to allow space for more open articles. I am open to new sections of The Tank Tribune if you're a reader. New issues debut every Sunday, with this past Sunday's issue NO. 87 - Summer's End up now. Which ZaneLittle celebrated his birthday! Happy Birthday again ZaneLittle!

IV. The Second Brother

The last Weekly Review I did, I talked about my brother @Wargrave. He was on Off The Wall recently, which you can listen to below. I have two little brothers though. As I'm writing this, my youngest brother is moving back home from Colorado. He was stationed there while in the army. He's out of the army and on his way home. HIm and his best friend are driving back here. I'm expecting him to call me at some point on his way home to chat! Last he spoke he was in Missouri! I'm so excited to have him home again and this time for good!

V. Party and Vacation

I recently went to a 90's Theme Party with my close friend Rex. Rex is the guy I've been talking to. I've talked about him on The Tank Tribune, I haven't updated that here though. We've both been working like dogs though, so we haven't had much time to spend with one another since the party back in August. I will be taking vacation time from my day job so I can spend it resting, time with my little brother coming home, and of course Rex. I'll still be working on Newgrounds stuff, not as much as usual though.

That about sums up what's been going on. There are still a lot of things going on. SplatterDash and I are planning the upcoming Treasure Hunt. I feel we are obligated now, we're part of Newgrounds History now. I'm also working more on the @Archive putting the Developer Spotlight interviews from the Newgrounds Mag on there. There's always a lot to do on Newgrounds!

[ SUPPORT ON PATREON | SUPPORT NEWGROUNDS ]

Hello Newgrounds! Boy has a lot been going on recently with my life. All good things though. As some of you know, I've been talking to a guy lately. Someone I have known for years, but we've getting to know each other and have become closer. For anonymity and safety, his name is Rex. That's where most of my time has been spent lately. I haven't forgotten about all of you. These updates I'm looking to have more frequently going forward. Here's what's been going on.

The Weekly Review with TGO #13

You Better Work! Cover Girl!

I. Off The Wall

Sadly, both @ThatJohnnyGuy and I are taking a back seat in terms of the Off The Wall Show. I'll be working behind the scenes as a writer, working on questions and information about the guests. Johnny will be working as producer for the show, making sure everything is posted. That's all I can say about this at this point.

II. The Tank Tribune

With the closing of the General Forum, I am having to revamp The Tank Tribune. This Sunday's issue will be a huge endeavor to showcase all that Newgrounds has done over the years. A lot of users probably come here for the forums first and everything else second. I want to show that this site is truly more than just a forum. I hope I can do that with this upcoming issue.

III. The Interviewer and the Archive

My first project, the one that put my name out there on the site. Before The Tank Tribune, before Off The Wall, before anything! I have neglected this for far too long. The latest interview with Vista-Sound13 will be up tomorrow. It was already posted on Patreon for my Producers section months ago. I have also been neglecting the Archive section of Newgrounds and getting the rest of the Dev. Spotlight interviews up there. Be on the lookout for that.

IV. My Brother is on Newgrounds!

I convinced my brother to make an account on Newgrounds WAY back in 2008 so he could share some of his writing on here. Well he's recently been getting back into writing. I convinced him to make his return here to the site. His name is @Wargrave. He named himself from a character from a book. That's hilarious. What next? A user naming themselves after a wrestler, or a hockey player? That's rich. Check out his poetry thread and give him a hello!

That's what's been going on with me lately. Sorry if it's not much. My time has either been eaten up by my personal life, my day job, or at this moment, still working on the Newgrounds Treasure Hunt. First time hosting a contest. It is quite the brutal work. Props to those who take time out of your lives to host contests here on Newgrounds. Thank you all.

[ SUPPORT ON PATREON | SUPPORT NEWGROUNDS ]

Good evening Newgrounds. Things are getting back on track here. The Treasure Hunt has closed. @SplatterDash and I have added all the entries to their categories. Now we wait on the judges deliberation. The sooner they have their scores in, the sooner the winners will be announced. There have been a lot of great entries from the past ten years on Newgrounds. I want to give a special thanks to @DoctorStrongbad for keeping tabs on the Treasure Hunt. Which if you haven't checked out SplatterDash's Swashbuckling Log, then go to their news page and read all of it.

The Weekly Review with TGO #12

I Can Spin Three Plates

I. Off The Wall

If you missed it last week, I am co-hosting a podcast with @ThatJohnnyGuy. We recently sat down with an old friend of mine here on the site. He is the strongest man on Newgrounds, the Father of the Forums, the one and only, @Fro. You can check out the episode below.

It was a really fun time, and doing this podcast has been an amazing experience. I now have three projects that take up my time. The Interviewer, The Tank Tribune, and Off The Wall. I still intend on doing stuff with my @Dohn page as well as the @Archive. Those are on the back burner for now. Which if you're reading this, the latest issue of The Tank Tribune will be dropping this Sunday. Lot's of fun stuff in that issue, with a sneak peek of something for the Archive, if everything goes well.

We are solidly booked for Off The Wall now, with guests going all the way to May I believe. After this season, I don't know where we will go from there. I'm intending on riding this ride though.

II. The Interviewer

On my Patreon, I will have the research note for the person I recently interviewed up on there for the Supporter and Producer tiers tomorrow. Which the full interview will be posted on Wednesday, February 22nd, on Patreon, one week before hitting The Interviewer account.

That's all I got for you now. Sorry, I didn't have much time to do more. Again, I was juggling four things at once. Granted I did pretty good. I would love to give you all sneak peeks of Off The Wall stuff, but it's not my show, so I don't have that clearance. I can't in good conscience put that info on my Patreon either. It would be... how you kids say it these days? Not bussin'. I think that's it.

[ SUPPORT ON PATREON | SUPPORT NEWGROUNDS ]

What's up party people. I've had a crap ton of stuff going on in my life recently. Three months of pain, mental torture, and overall burnout. I have made a glorious return, with New Year's resolutions in tow. Projects are being revived, revised, and renewed. There is also a new thing that I am working on with fellow Newgrounds member, a man whose works I am a huge fan of, and one who I am privileged to call, friend.

The Weekly Review with TGO #11

Papers, Podcasts, and People

I. Off The Wall

I was one of the guests on @ThatJohnnyGuy's podcast, @OffTheWallShow. Which there will be a link to it down below. That was part of Season 3. After the show, I messaged him telling him that I had a lot of fun doing that episode with him and would love to do it again. That was my first podcast ever. It was also the first time Newgrounds would hear my voice.

For years now though, I have been wanting to do a podcast and have a co-host on board with me. My plans were to do this with @BenTibbetts. That man is a veritable machine, not only on Newgrounds, but outside of it as well. Which if you don't know what all he does, follow this link.

Now I don't want to give away spoilers, so I will say here, that I am the new co-host of Off The Wall. The debut episode will be this Friday, so follow @OffTheWallShow so you can be alerted when episode one of Season 4 drops. The first episode is meant to catch people up on what we've been doing and how we came together for Season 4. There will be tons of guests as we're still in production, but we are booked with guests through March. There will be new episodes EVERY WEEK! That's right EVERY WEEK!

II. The Tank Tribune

While working on The Tank Tribune, it has gotten a bit stale lately for me. Working on it seems more like a chore than something I enjoyed doing. I need to shake things up with it. I've noticed that there is barely any news in it. I need to make it better in that sense.

For the past couple of weeks I've been tweaking the design bit by bit. All that's left is to bring it altogether. At one point I thought I would have to move The Tank Tribune back to Mondays. Fear not though, with this new set-up I can keep The Tank Tribune on Sundays.

III. The Interviewer

With the changes I am making to The Tank Tribune, it will leave me with more time to work on The Interviewer. I already have my next guest lined up. As always, those who contribute to the Producer section on my Patreon will get interviews one week before they're posted to The Interviewer account. With the return of The Interviewer, the next interview will be available for all tiers. As a thank you to my patrons for sticking it out with me through all of this.

For who the next guest will be, I've talked about it in Off The Wall. If you want to know who it is, you'll have to listen to the podcast or join my Patreon when I post the research paper on there, as a sneak peek. Those in the Supporter tier and higher will get to see the research paper. Those in the Producer tier will get to submit questions to a guest, a new feature!

Another note, those in the Supporter and Producer tiers can make suggestions on who to interview next. You can still make suggestions, but these tiers will have priority.

IV. Newgrounds Treasure Hunt 2023

If you haven't seen it yet on the front page, @SplatterDash and myself are hosting the revival of the Treasure Hunt. The Treasure Hunt was an old contest on Newgrounds that Tom started back in 2006. It went for five years, ending on 2011. It has been dormant for ten years. Both SplatterDash and I had the idea to revive it. I will be posting more information about the Treasure Hunt's history in the @Archive.

The Treasure Hunt was about finding the hidden gems on Newgrounds in the Portal. Now for the first time ever, all the Portals are available for you to find treasure. Animation, Games, Audio, and Art. There are also cash prizes available for the person who finds the Hidden Gem and the creator of said Hidden Gem.

The deadline is February 17th, 2023. Join the Treasure Hunt Today! Find me dat booty yeh mateys!

And that's that. I hope all of you have been doing well and doing better than I have been recently. This February has started off really well. I've been having a lot of fun as a podcast co-host. I am eager to show you all what I've been working on and hope you all enjoy what I have for you.

[ SUPPORT ON PATREON | SUPPORT NEWGROUNDS ]

I've been having memory issues lately. I'm having trouble remembering what I did earlier in the day on the day that I did it. I forgot most of what I did at work today, with just some vague information. That's not normal for me. From what I understand, it could just be from me getting older. If it worsens, then I shall seek medical treatment.

What's up party people. I hope you're all doing fine. I've been better. I recently cut my thumb at work while slicing. For those unaware, I work at a sub shop. I cut myself over the top of my thumb, right on top of my knuckle. Writing has been interesting to say the least. I am not allowed to bend my right thumb. I'll leave you with that and possibly pictures later on.

The Weekly Review with TGO #10

Thumb Up!

I. Off The Wall

I was recently interviewed by @ThatJohnnyGuy for his podcast Off The Wall. It was a fun time and I hope to do it again in the future. It was my first time doing a podcast! It has given me plenty of ideas. I will warn you that this episode does get a little heavy later on.

II. June Games 2022

An old project of mine is officially rebooted! If you're a fan of video games, come learn the history and impact on the gaming industry these people have had on my @Dohn page.

DAY 1 - H. G. Wells

DAY 2 - William Higinbotham

DAY 3 - Raymond Redheffer

That's about it. It has been a bit of an uneventful week. The launch of the redesign of The Tank Tribune was a success. Besides that, I'm recovering from my injury. Thank you to those who follow me here, although I prefer if you would follow and share my other works with the Newgrounds Community.

[ SUPPORT ON PATREON | SUPPORT NEWGROUNDS ]

It has been a while. A lot has been happening during this time. Holidays came and went. Nothing spectacular to note there. I'm looking to be back on full cylinders and catch up with all of my work. I now have a work schedule that works for me which is a good thing. I can do my day job, which is working at a sub shop, then my night job, which is Newgrounds. Which if you're a patron on my Patreon. Thank you. Your contributions help pay two bills that I don't have to worry about. I'm looking to expand with some ideas that I'll detail below.

The Weekly Review with TGO #9

We're Gonna Make All The Things

I. The Tank Tribune

If you're on my Patreon then you already know what is coming for The Tank Tribune WAY before here. If you're a follower here on my page, then this will be the reveal for you. The Tank Tribune will be returning to new issues every Sunday going forward! There will be new headers, the return of the Sunday Console, an expanded Community section, and some retired sections such as Forum History and Member's Choice. The Tank Tribune will also be turning two years old this June, so I'm working on an Anniversary Issue. Speaking of June...

II. June Games

A project I started back in 2012 is getting rebooted and revived on my Dohn page. Each day of June I will be talking about a person or people who have made an impact in the video game industry and became, for lack of a better word, game changers. I ask that you follow my Dohn page. As for The Underground. That had to take a seat on the back burner. That series will debut this Fall.

III. The Interviewer

I have neglected The Interviewer for quite a while. I've still been working on it, just not as fast as I should. I need to get back into that. There is a huge backlog. Do not worry though. This coming Wednesday will be the last Lost Episode interview with MaestroRage, then we will be back to your regularly scheduled program.

IV. Archive

If you haven't checked out the Archive, please do. I've been building it up a lot. With the Developer's Spotlight archived from Newgrounds Mag. There will be new fonts added in the Dumping Grounds for it. I have been working on playlists that chronicle the Triple Crown Winners on Newgrounds. Movies or Games in the Portal that have won the Daily Feature, Weekly 1st Place, and Review Crew Pick awards for that week. I am looking to polish off the Developer's Spotlight section first and foremost while also working on the Triple Crown Winners playlist. The Archive will be updated every Tuesday going forward.

That's all I have to say. I am working on a top-secret project with @Edeshye. @ThatJohnnyGuy and I are scheming, that's all I'll say on that. I wanna give a shoutout to @DrSevenSeizeMD, @BenTibbetts, and @ninjamuffin for being my biggest cheerleaders and supporters. They've been with me since The Interviewer and through The Tank Tribune. Thank all of you who follow my main account. You really don't have to, but I guess it is best to see what I'm up to now.

Hello Newgrounds! I am back to 100% once again! It has sucked to be limited to just browsing the site. I have been getting my backlog organized and have rearranged my office. I have Thanksgiving preparations almost out of the way and Christmas shopping almost done! It has been an eventful and busy couple of months. I have sent off questions for an interview with a famous Newgrounds member and have two interviews backlogged ready to be posted. Expect The Interviewer's return this Wednesday!

The Weekly Review with TGO #8

HEALING PROCESS COMPLETE

I. The Tank Tribune

I am currently working on making The Tank Tribune more presentable. As much as I love the blog system here on Newgrounds, it is a bit limited in what I can do. This is something I have been working on during my recovery process. The Tank Tribune will be making its grand return in December!

II. Deli Stories

This was an idea that I had and at first I didn't want to follow through with it. Now that I have left my past job of eight years and am working for a competitor, I think it is time to tell these stories. I will be gracing the Writing Forum with these soon. It starts off happy and slowly gets worse. There is a happy ending though, that I assure you.

III. The Interviewer and Somber Pensive

I have interviews for both of these ready to go. Both of these projects I have been neglecting lately, mostly because I wanted to make The Tank Tribune all it could be. These will be making their respective come backs. With The Interviewer resuming this Wednesday and Somber Pensive resuming next Tuesday. A full content schedule should be up by next week, so be on the lookout for that.

IV. Patreon

To all of my patrons on Patreon I am grateful to you all. I really need to be pushing more perks over there, especially on the Behind the Scenes content and Exclusive content. It is one of the reasons why I have been reworking The Tank Tribune. I only hope it turns out the way I want it to be. There will be some great content coming to you there.

It is great to be back on Newgrounds with everything going on. I hated having to be a lurker and not being able to contribute or do anything here on the site. Thanks to @Anonymous-Frog for keeping readers entertained through the Tankman Triweekly. Thanks to @ThatJohnnyGuy for the best wishes in his Off The Wall Podcast. You should check that out if you haven't yet. Thank you all again for your kindness, patience, and understanding.
