Well, it was certainly a journey. But it's time to say goodbye to boogy flicking. During this past month I've done a lot of things. I've started getting B/P again, I've done a lot of reviews, a whole bunch of stuff. I also have a new dog and he's a cuddly one! Doing good in real life as well, just so you know. Of course, I've also been happily observing the returns of 3 fan-favorite series (though I have yet to watch one).

I've also got this fresh and cool new profile picture. 

HECC YEAH!!!

This is an edit. I noticed right after posting this that I now have a Silver Whistle! Crack open the cocaine-I mean champagne!

Now for all the people who need to know: @CyberDevil, @SevenSeize, @Cannyboy, @ChutneyGlaze, @PsioDecker, @Caaath, @ZomAlien, @SuperPCGamer, @GraceAndGlory, @Mich, @GoodL, @Kolumbo, @Hesiolite, @Kieran and @Xuvero. Again, let me know if I forgot to tag you.

Hello. You may know me as TheReviewTrickster, but I am no longer that man. I am on a different path now, I have been enlightened. I have a holy mission, and none of you can deter me. Unfortunately, I forgot to tick the box that redirects my old name to my new self, so I need to let everyone know about this.

@BrenTheMan has been a great support on my journey

@Peregrinus too, he made my new forum signature.

@ChutneyGlaze was a real pal and made my new profile pic on short notice.

@CyberDevil, @ZomAlien (who already knows), @SevenSeize, @Xuvero, @Hesiolite, probably @GoodL and @Kolumbo, @ChazDude, @Kieran and @Mich. If you think I should have let you know, but didn't tag you, let me know.

Edit: forgot to tag @GraceAndGlory, whoops. I was gonna, but I guess I skipped over you.

• I'm not sure I can even count how many medals I got this year and how many games with medals I've played, probably could using NGLogs, but I don't care that much really

As some of you know, my dog died a few days ago. He was one magnificent creature, he loved us and we loved him. He brought us so much joy. He was in pain, so he decided not to bring it into 2019. He came back to his cheerful self for 2 days, and I thought maybe things could go back to normal. That was him saying goodbye. He went away, but it was a relief for him and for us. We can remember him for his happy self.

RIP Charlie, we will never forget you.

I'm on holiday! This means I have much more time for watching and reviewing stuff. Today I've done 6 movie reviews, maybe I'll do some more art ones before the day is over. Been digging into some old gems as you can see (which I have not seen before, shame on me amirite?) and Under Judgment stuff too. Hopefully I can keep this up and do a bunch more before mmthe holidays are over!

 Happy Holidays!

(But more on that in another post)

Hey, I've got this story in the writing portal. It's set in a physical version of Newgrounds and follows the daily life of P-Bot. You can find it here: https://https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1437324#bbspost26266842_post_text

I'm pretty proud of it, I hope it's only the start of my writing adventure and that I can get better in the future.

Thanks @CyberDevil for the inspiration.

Also, in unrelated news, I really like what's happening here at NG right now. I also recently reached 1,000 posts, 1,000 reviews and 1,000 medals. I'm around the 125th spot on the top reviewers list, and the holidays are coming up, so I might have more time to write reviews. Thanks for reading!

THE NINJA SOCIETY OF NEWGROUNDS

Hey, so the movie has reached 1000 views and has been frontpaged and won the 2nd Daily award! That's more than I expected, and I'm more than satisfied. This news post is just a trivial little thing to commemorate that and test something. Also, 15th news post yay!

Hey, so the thing I've teased in the previous news post and in the NG Chat is out now! Everyone rejoice! Even better is the fact that I git to work on it with @ChutneyGlaze! Now I can officially say I'm a Newgrounds creator, nand not just a rando reviewer! 

@Mich, come check it out, @Xuvero and @Cyberdevil, review it when you have the time, it would mean a lot! Hoping you guys know The Room. Now my "fans" actually have a reason to follow me. Happy Halloween, everyone!

Edit: forgot to embed it, whoops.

Yup, another promotion! Don't know what the chief's thinking, I mostly do paperwork. Ah well, I'm not complaning. I thought I was taking far too long with this, but when I calculated my average, it was around 4.2 B/P a day, which is pretty good by my standards. So yeah, I don't really have much to say about this one. I lost some reviews, along with a bunch of people, due to some bug fix they rolled out. I wish reviews of blammed submissions stayed in your count, it would encourage people to review things they think will get blammed. This way, that's kind of discourgaed, since you don't get anything from it, wiht the reviews being removed from your count. 

So yeah, that's about it for this post. I do have some cool stuff coming up pretty soon.

You might notice something different. That's right, I'm a supporter! Oh, and I changed my name. I'm not a huge fan of this one, but I'll see how I and other people like it and then I can change it back after 30 days if I want to. This one is more current, it's still got my trickster branding while shifting the focus from cringy gaming to reviewing. As for how I became a supporter, a very nice friend of mine, @HeadMistressSeven, gifted me supporter status FOR A YEAR. I can now go on chat and use all these cool emotes. If only I could figure out how to change my level icon (that's something supporters can do, right?). Oh, and I can also use the chat! How cool is that? I haven't been there in over a year! I've already talked about the update, but I will say HAPPY MADNESS DAY (for real today)!!!

Also, wow, I can earn double XP today! Tom is such an awesome guy, and I really feel like this is an awesome time for Newgrounds because of the review update, the double XP, Madness Day, and, of course, my supporter status. 

Tell me what you think of my username down there. I'll tag the people whose opinions I'd really like.

@Cannyboy @CyberDevil @ChutneyGlaze @HeadMistressSeven @Xuvero @Peregrinus

Yay, it's Madness Day...right? No, it shouldn't be until tomorrow, but people are already uploading things. I guess they're in far East time zones or they just wanna upload early. Either way, I've already been celebrating by reviewing and voting on stuff. That's why I love these events, they bring increased uploads that are usually of some quality and related to something I like.

Also, this new update is really cool, huh? I get experience for voting on art! And I can edit my vote once I've considered the submission carefully for the review. Not to mention, the Tankman icons look sick and I get that satisfying 2 EXP every time. There is a slight downside in having to vote every time I review, because then if I've already got all my experience for the day and am reviewing, say, a classic, then in order to review, I don't get a blam/protect and I have to use a back-up vote that could be saved for a rainy day. Some of you probably don't save back-ups, but I sure do. Crazy about that shift in the classics though, huh? I don't think we have enough people to bring back the balance anymore, though, so I'm gonna be going through some movies I might not have seen otherwise. @CyberDevil, I wanna hear your opinion on the update.

If you read all this, thanks, and HAPPY MADNESS DAY!!!
