Pico Day Phallus

Posted by BoMToons - April 22nd, 2013


Pico Day is this weekend. I wish I could go this year. I don't know if Tom's planning on doing Tank Awards during Pico Day, or if that will come later, nor if the Tankies will include 2011 and 2012.

I think Abobo's Big Adventure is a nominee for 2012. I hope we win since we've gotten the shaft as "Game of the Year" from all the other web competitions out there. I wouldn't mind losing too much to Fancy Pants or Madness though.

I went to two Pico Days in the past. It was a blast both times. There's nothing like meeting the real people behind all the stuff you see on this web site.

One incident in particular stands out to me:

My most recent visit was in 2010 (I think) and, for some reason, there was a fake rubber phallus floating around the NG office. I was sitting in the TV area watching a movie or playing streetfighter or something and Stamper came over with the little rubber wiener. He shoved it down his pants and pulled it out through the front zipper in his shorts.

Mind you, this particular rubber device was very lifelike, so it appeared Stamper had exposed himself and was just sitting there nonchalantly enjoying the television program with his flaccid junk hanging out. Well, Tom eventually walked up and started having a conversation with us. At one point his eyes flicked down to Stamper's shorts and a very strange look crossed his face.

I believe that, if memory serves, Stamper then started yanking the protrusion around violently and began blurting out exotic jungle sounds. I was in tears from laughter and Tom just shook his head and walked away.

THIS IS THE KIND OF FUN YOU CAN HAVE IF YOU GO TO PICO DAY!

P.S. I found this picture of the Boston Bomber wearing a BoMToons shirt:

Son of a gun, I really wanted to go myself, but I just can't afford it! Maybe sometime in the future if I have enough cash, and of course, if I get invited again :}

Make it happen, carpool with someone else going, stay at a cheap hotel, you can do it!

I feel bad for Tyler, he does really look like the bomber.

Anyways, I hope to see some Pico submissions this year. Next to my game I haven't really seen anyone do anything...

Yeah, good thing he got his hair cut RIGHT before it all happened or he might have been investigated. He even used to live around there. And now he's making a game about bombs...

Your game looks really nice (as usual). I know Luis is working on a game also, so there's that...

Luis working on a game, like that is ever gonna get released.

BURN!

That was a wonderful story :)

Did it make your feels feel?

I'm currently not planning to do the Tank Awards at Pico Day but I might announce User of the Year for 2011 and 2012... I can also at least show off one of the new trophies from the new batch we're FINALLY doing, which was one of the big hold-ups all this time.

Ah, user of the year would be a good one to do with all those users there in person. Any idea when you'll do the rest of the tank awards?

There were OTHER hold ups besides the tank casting? Do tell. :-)

One day that button will disappear once you click submit :-D

It sucks living in California and all of the cool stuff his happening on the East Coast. Hopefully one of these days I'll finally get to come to a NG meet, or perhaps even live to see one happen on the West Coast!

They occasionally do meetups out west. PM Luis for more info!

Really? Luis hasn't told me about that, except that he's considered doing something here. I'll have to ask him about it.

The biggest probably being Comic Con.

Luis did stuff out in the west?! Well why in the hell didn't he say so when I still lived in Idaho?!? Gah!!!

Luis has been everywhere.

I'm pretty bummmed about my game, i was way ahead and now im like sicker than ive ever been in years, it hurts to even breathe. So if I'm not well like in the next 24 hrs im gonna be in big trouble of not gettin that pico day game done. I blame it on abstaining from alcohol. All that booze had kept my insides clean so long that when i stopped i opened myself up to all the bad stuff.

you can do it Luis! For Pico!

FIX THAT SUBMIT BUTTON. IT COULDNT POSSIBLY BE THAT HARD OF A FIX LILJIM.

\/ IKR? Just copy and paste the review button semantics, or whatever....
So last years superslumberparty video was based on the 2010 event, huh? That should be in the Director's Cut on the DVD! Last year's teleparty-commuting was exceptional, please do berate the partygoers as you see fit :3

There are some odd parallels there...

Oh man, next year... maybe...

For now I'll be glued to the webcam.

I'd forgotten all about this one. XD Nice.
