I'm on a better computer than three years ago when I made Madness Accelerant, so I decided to see how well it ran. I loaded it up in Chrome and... IT BARELY RUNS AT ALL. Constant freezing. Unplayable.

I loaded it in IE and it ran a lot better but had some bad keyboard lag, where it would play my previous input long after I hit the key.

I loaded it in Firefox and it ran flawlessly, full framerate.

I don't know if this is Adobe's fault of the fault of the individual browser makers. I know I'm a dinosaur for liking AS2 but there are A LOT of web games made that way. Some of them seem to run fine in Chrome; Dad 'n Me, for example. But it is a real bummer that Madness Accelerant doesn't work.

So Google if you are reading this, I no longer think Chrome is the best browser. My entire world is in a tailspin.

UPDATE: Turns out the performance may be related to some of our javascript and fixing this will speed up games in Chrome. Not sure why it's not an issue for Firefox. But yeah it appears to be both our faults. :(

We sent millions of our visitors to Facebook so that we could build up 134k Facebook followers and then use Facebook to keep them informed of what's happening on NG.

Oh but wait... Now Facebook wants me to pay them to reach those users I sent their way.

Good reminder to stay positive and talk about productive stuff.

I just found out what happened to Foamy.

I cringe watching myself in interviews and normally don't make people aware of them, but Graham from Arcademia was really fun to talk to so I thought you guys might like seeing this:

He also posted it on GiantBomb with some back-story.

Testing something out.

Just had to share this one... Read about this Castle Crashers-themed birthday party!

Also John Hodgman talked some about Video Falconry in this interview.

I want to watch this every morning to get inspired.

Ever wonder what it would look like if Bill Plympton drew the tank logo? WONDER NO MORE. We funded his Winsor McCay Resurrection Project and got this in return:
