So, hey guys! Here is a thread which is probably overdue.
I'm SpindleyQ, also known (on other forums and often on IRC) as ApM, also known as Jeremy, and I started this here site. By day I write code for an eccentric billionaire who invented the WYSIWYG word processor and recently went into space. By night, I mostly hang out with my lovely wife (who once participated a Klik of the Month) and our 11-month-old son Eric (without whom the Fatherhood Series would not exist). I am currently secretly learning Smalltalk in the hopes of resurrecting an old Secret Project using Croquet and even more secretly considering taking up crochet.
So tell us about yourself! How did you find the site?
I'm kirkjerk, the guy who's
I'm kirkjerk, the guy who's all angsty about doing most of his trainwrecks in Java processing (a few things in the more traditional Klik N Play.)
Anyway I'm a programmer in Boston, currently working for Nokia.
I put something on website everyday is kind of a humanist spiritual practice.
I joined the site for the infamous EMERGENCY 100-IN-1 KLIK AND PLAY PIRATE KART MELTDOWN, probably after it was plugged on The Gamers Quarters forums.
Bonjour. I'm
Bonjour. I'm captaincabinets, or Raphael, or Raphael-you-know-like-the-ninja-turtle if I'm at a party with loud music and confused looks. By day I work on my tan by basking in my apparently bright future as something or other, and some nights I pay the bills and save up for Tim Tams by taking yoghurt out of cardboard boxes and putting them on a shelf. I harbour secret ambitions to do pretty much everything in the world, but have such a bad short term memory that I forget about my ideas ten minutes after they come to me.
Like kirkjerk, I came to this site with the Meltdown. I probably would have never joined in, but fate and my wonderful uncle had already gifted me Klik & Play when I was nine or ten, and I couldn't resist dusting it off. It turns out it's like event-editing a bicycle, and waaay more fun when you know what the hell is going on and you're not perpetually trying to make a sprawling, multi-genre Goldeneye videogame (unlicensed). Also, as a serial starter and serial incompletist of, well, everything, the concept of a two hour limit really appealed to me.
Now? I'm still here (or back), hooked on thinking up awful puns and looking at other people's brilliant imaginations. I liken Klik and Play to being the finest bucket my brain can vomit into.
I also come here because I
I also come here because I hold the unwavering belief that SpindleyQ should be the admin for the entire internet.
I couldn't begin to imagine
I couldn't begin to imagine why, but thanks! I try.
Any word on a possible resurrection of the Krush, Klik N Destroy idea?
I've actually been thinking
I've actually been thinking about that quite a lot. A collaborative effort on something would be totally rhinoceros, but I'm not sure I have the organising acumen to get something like that off the ground. Participation, most definitely, but instigation usually escapes me. Maybe reviving that thread would be a start. I'll do that soon.

I'm Qrleon, a hick from rural Canada. I came to GloriousTrainwrecks through a google search to ask a question about KNP's broken slider bars; stayed because the Pirate Kart and KotM games were pretty funny and the front page manifesto had some resonance with me.
Hey, I'm from rural Canada
Hey, I'm from rural Canada too! Rosser, MB, to be specific.

NB, bordering on Maine.
Also, oh god I haven't been paying attention the past few years. Google Maps knows where I live. Looking at my hometown, childhood schools, parks, old stores and walking trails through the perspective of Grand Theft Auto is terrifying.
Oh, wow, they've definitely
Oh, wow, they've definitely got more high-resolution imagery. The last time I looked couldn't have been more than a few months ago, and my house was a tiny dot in a green smear of fields. Now I can see individual cars and trees.
That, and the "Street View"
That, and the "Street View" option is the closest thing I've seen to mass stalking. Not just your traditional corporate "find out everything about everybody" stalking, I mean honest-to-goodness hiding in the bushes and taking pictures stalking.
Hey! It's Pizza Time! I am a
Hey! It's Pizza Time! I am a ginger accessory that fights the Foot Clan. You can Google Street my pad but you won't see anything because I swear it is like the Black Hole of Calcutta in there. For reals.
I totally got KnP through the school book club back in, like, sixth grade and started making my dream game as soon as I got back from a school excursion. Sadly, I would only develop the skills to create my dream game this year when I did Skylathe. For some time I strayed from KnP but when The Games Factory came out I got right back into it. Then some stuff happened for years and I ended up here because I couldn't believe my luck that there would be a fly joint that is all about the Europress.
Just like cabinets I like Tim-Tams. I hope that the recent experiments conducted with the Large Hadron Collider can be applied to create a never-ending packet of Tim-Tams by using reverse black hole technology. Only the magical powers of science can make this a reality.
Maybe we should try to do
Maybe we should try to do one of those google map things w/ pins for all the members?
I'm amazed at the world wide reach of the Klikwreckers, and at what random ass hours "7PM Eastern US time" is for people... actually what would be even cooler is one of those full on globe "in light and shadow" images, so I can get an idea where in the day span people are...
Hello, everyone. I just
Hello, everyone. I just signed up for the forums. I haven't messed around with Klick and Play since I was a teenager.
Some of the projects that people put together with that software I have found pretty impressive. It has re-sparked my interest in creating a game of my own. I hope to participate in the KotMK one of these days.
Greetings, Hanuman! Welcome
Greetings, Hanuman! Welcome to our humble web-site.
The Klik of the Month Klub is awesome and you should totally join us this Saturday! It's great fun, no matter how long it's been since you've made a game.
Hey hi howdy ave, I've just
Hey hi howdy ave,
I've just signed here after playing nearly all of the Pirate Kart games. Why I've signed here? Because I ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE GODDAMN GAMES IN KNP OR GF. But I never had enough bravery or stupidity to do so. Now I have. 100 in 1 Pirate Kart raped my mind and soul, so I'm ready to participate in Glorious Trainwrecks rites.
God I'm so happy. No shit. Seriously.
Some serious bullshit now: I'm 20, I live In Poland, near Warsaw. Competely talentless game geek. Just so you know.
Now I go play some Max Payne, yeah. My first game you'll probably see on next Klik of The Month. I hope so.
Thanks for this site and all Trainwrecks. Long live the crap.
Yay and welcome, sorry you
Yay and welcome, sorry you didn't make it for the last Klikkening!
Hi guys,
I guess I should introduce myself too, for those who don't know/recognize me. I learned about this site thanks to, probably, ApM, in the selectbutton forums, which is a place I don't frequent anymore because it's full of jerks, and I like to think that I'm on my way out of jerkdom. Oh, I'm usually known as Koji over there.
The first video game I ever made was a Klik of the Month, so this place will always hold a special place in my heart. Now I'm working on one big game project that will get me my bachelor in graphic design, and the occasional small game now and then.
And I think that's all. You may, I guess, stalk me further at www.agj.cl (.)
Oh yeah, and I'm from Chile. Right now the KOTMs are at 23 pm for me, I think.
Welcome, agj! I am pleased
Welcome, agj! I am pleased to run a jerk-free place on the internet.
I'm kind of proud that your first foray into game-making was for a KotMK, because your work since has been pretty top-notch. Looking forward to seeing what you'll coax out of Construct this month!

oops
Just realized that I never posted in this thread!
I'm Six, or Stephen, or Stu if I get a high score in an arcade game and it lets you put in consecutive letters instead of sending you back to 'A' each time. I live in Montreal, where I'm currently at university studying Secrets of the Dorkic Arts. So far it's been a nice motivator to learn things that I've wanted to learn but didn't for lack of self-discipline or what-have-you.
My first experience with Klik 'n Play was at Computer Camp circa 1997, where I created the epic, seminal instellar opera Spaced Man, about one man's journey to climb some ladders and dodge a giant Einstein head that shoots balls at him and utters the same Simpsons quote every three seconds to the great annoyance of everyone else in the room. I still had the diskettes (it spanned three of them!) as recently as last year, but sadly the data therein had long since rotted away.
P.S. This is pretty much my favourite website in the world.
It should be noted that not
It should be noted that not only was a late-night conversation with Six about how they don't make games like The Last Eichhof anymore the entire reason this website exists, but also that he coined the phrase "Klik of the Month Klub". Also, the original two-hour Klik & Play Showdown was mostly an effort to convince him that making games really isn't that hard so that he'd make Hatworld: World of Hats already.
(Did I ever link the Official Hatworld: World of Hats theme song here? The search function says no!)
(P.S. make Hatworld plz)
Hello. I'm Strong. I also go
Hello. I'm Strong. I also go by strong414bad in other places on the internet, but I'm switching to Strong now because strong414bad is an entirely generic Internet name and I like to consider myself not an entirely generic Internet person. I have Multimedia Fusion 2 and worked on a couple of fangames for a while- once I tried to make a Mario version of Action 52 before it became too much for me- but I'm expanding and making some more original stuff now. I've also spent some time in the Youtube Poop community, making what can pretty much be described as video trainwrecks. I'm interested in the whole Glorious Trainwreck style and hope someday to make a game like that of my very own. I'm 14 years old and I live in suburban Massachusetts about halfway between Boston and Providence. At the moment I'm a freshman in high school with no idea what I want to do in the future.
Welcome, Strong! Hope to
Welcome, Strong! Hope to see you at this month's KotMK!
Speaking of Action 52, I imagine you've seen our 100-in-1 Klik & Play Pirate Kart?
The KotMK is one of the main
The KotMK is one of the main reasons I signed up for the site, and I'm definately going to be there this month. I have MMF2 instead of KnP, but from what I know me and my bad pre-rendered 3D clipart are okay.
And yeah, I've seen the Pirate Kart. I haven't gotten much into it past the reccommended games, but the more I play it the more I realise it's the most beautiful thing ever made. I wish I'd been there when you guys did it.
...
JESUS H. CHRIST YOU'RE STRONG414BAD FROM MFGG ZOMFG GOMFG
I wanted to see the Mario Action 52 for a long time. Why'd you exactly cancel it?
Yeah, that's me. I cancelled
Yeah, that's me. I cancelled Mario 52 mainly because I was starting to run out of ideas of stuff to do and it seemed like it was an enormous amount of work to do for something that would be pretty much ignored and insulted by a lot of the fangaming scene. I didn't see a lot of MFGG "getting it" in the future.
Though every once in a while I've been making new minigames for it, so it's really more on hiatus than anything.
Hello, I'm LocoRoo
Hello, I'm LocoRoo. I've made games with KNP since whenever. I have made such classics as "Mini Sonic", "Romuralli (Destruction Derby)", "Overkill", "Pikachu's Adventure" and the ever-so-classic "Metroid in KNP". I just don't have them anymore (damn system reinstalling).
I found this site by looking for KNP games. At first I thought everything was dead and that there won't be any more KotM's. Glad I was wrong.
My current projects are Eunuch: The Penis Cut-offening and Ismo Laitela Kick 'N Play.
Hi. I'm Noyb. You might
Hi. I'm Noyb. You might remember me from such games as Shameful Pachinko Romance, Macarena of the Missing, or Edge Tycoon, all of which were made in Multimedia Fusion. You might not know that my first games were a terrible pokemon-themed pong game coded in KNP with graphics designed in Microsoft's 3D Movie Maker, or a Mario fangame with less graphical cohesion than Limbo of the Lost and more ambulatory feces than the average early South Park episode.

First heard of this place from the B-Games compo, and a few of Terry and dessgeega's works. Looking forward to getting back to my roots and having fun.
DOODOO DOO DOODOO DOO! HERE

Salutations!
Howdy. I am Fishyboy, and am in no way affiliated with Phil Fish. Sorry. I do some stuff in Game Maker, but never finish anything serious 'cuz I suck. I am otherwise uninteresting. After seeing Auntie Pixelante posting about this so often, I decided I should give it a go.
So, yeah, looking forward to making some games with you guys!
look it was an honest

Luckily, around here, we don't care about finishing anything serious; only ridiculous things.
hi, I finally made my way
hi, I finally made my way here after many of dessgeega's writings about it. I've never used anything like KNP, but the possibility of making a game for every track at cool-midi.com is far too tempting to just ignore.
Hello. My name is Elijah
Hello. My name is Elijah Katz and I'm usually known on the internet as Professor Katz or by my name. I'm a 15 year old high school student. I enjoy game making and have always found Klik N Play hilarious. I also enjoy reading and writing and I hope to be a writer when I grow up.
Oh ya...
Dess posted the site on twitter and that's how I found out about it.
Hello
Hello, I'm from Poland and in my mid-twenties. I have always dreamt of making my own games but it's hard with a patience level of a 5 year old and no programming skills whatsoever. Hence KNP was a perfect solution for me, and I don't mind the technical limitations, since I have always liked things a little bumpy and glitchy. I hope to partake in KotM in the future, when only somebody tells my how to use IRC.
No to jest nas dwoch ;)

hello!
ARRR! I'm usually Aklyon on the internet and i like random things.
I'd tried to make a game but got confused-ed at the programming part :(
oh, and I found here from playthisthing's bushido edge review.
Introduction
Hi, I'm Clint, long time lurker at Glorious Trainwrecks. I can't remember when I first found you guys, but I was first introduced to KnP by my dad when I was about 10. He found a shareware version of it somewhere. I may be among the only people who actually PURCHASED KnP, which is hilarious.
When I am not attempting to make art games, I am blogging about making art games, hanging out with my wife, and hopefully, working.
I signed up because of Pirate Kart II is just so freaking awesome that I had to do it.
Yay!
hi. i'm dustin from
hi. i'm dustin from playthisthing. you guys are my heroes, so i guess this is like in comics where impressionable teens attempt to emulate their heroes by putting their underwear on the outside and punching jaywalkers in the face and stuff. at least i think it is. holy shit i just plotted out my first knp game.
Welcome, Dustin from
Welcome, Dustin from playthisthing! Delighted to have you aboard.
Don't worry! If we actually
Don't worry! If we actually were superheroes, you'd get some sort of stern talking-to and then you might end up getting really mad and becoming a supervillain or something, but since we're merely game designers you're welcome here. Can't wait to see what games you end up making!
If we were superheroes we'd
If we were superheroes we'd be the kind you'd read in three dollar comics you buy at the supermarket.
Those were the best kind. =p
Those were the best kind. =p Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I just posted about the upcoming Pirate Kart on the site, hopefully we can add a couple more people to our ranks come game-time.

omg hi
Sup everyone. Found this site when I was looking through the wiki article of an obscure freeware game series manguy. Apparently, the newest installment is in your 371-in-1 Klik n Play pirate kart thing.
I've been going by ABoredGameDev on other sites as of late, but we're all Game Devs in this community (right?), so i'm going to use a different name here.
I tried to install Klik n Play, but apparently it's not compatible with Windows 7. Are you guys okay with Game Maker, or do you guys have something else in mind that I could use?
But yeah, hi. I hope to contribute many games... and stuff.
Actually, it's much more
Actually, it's much more than 371 games now. We've hit a whopping 529! Thus it's been renamed the 529-in-1 Klik & Play Pirate Kart II: Klik Harder!
oh gosh, that's a lot of klik
oh gosh, that's a lot of klik
Interestingly, we got quite
Interestingly, we got quite a few games made using other tools/engines. A few text adventures, several Unity 3D games... heck, even a bit of Blender. There was also Game Maker, MMF2, TGF, Construct...
Game Maker? Really? Awesome.

I'm Foreman M. Vyers, and
I'm Foreman M. Vyers, and I'm 20 years old. Though I'm a writer first and foremost, I got my creative start with KNP back when I was like 11 or so. Since then, I've fostered a soft spot in my heart for the thing, cause it's just a joy to use.
I used to be a member of the Mario Fan Games Galaxy under the name of Fireball3k making trainwrecks in the forms of interactive graphical libraries. Well, I also produced a few original games that were really shit and uploaded them to my own website, but either way you look at it, most of my creations could hardly be considered games.
I found out about this site sometime in the latter half of 2009, where Googling KNP games brought me a link to the 100-in-1 Pirate Kart. Since I've long been a fan of this sort of game, I was instantly hooked, and I've been lurking the site sporadically since then. Well, up until now, I guess.
Oh, MAN. The interactive
Oh, MAN. The interactive graphical libraries era. I remember it like it was yesterday. Oh, and Mario Quest.
For those who don't know what we're talking about, the fangame scene a little over a decade ago went through this craze of using Click & Create, creating libraries of ripped graphics that you could actually "play" through. Like, they were interactive tours complete with video game MIDIs, controllable characters, and Next buttons. Also abused the Pop-up Message Object extension, usually to ask if the person would give credit for using the sprites. A few libraries got creative with what would happen if you clicked "No". Heck, the only reason anyone would ever click on "No" was because of the humor. One in particular would teleport you to a frame of shitty sprites and MIDI music, proclaiming, "Okay, you can use this instead!" and then, "This is a special message to *cough* Ultrasonic007 *cough*. Guys, it isn't cool to steal other people's sprites."
Funny you mention this. I actually went back to MFGG yesterday to redownload and play through that old classic Yoshi vs. Windows. I almost forgot the brokenness and humor of that one.
"It looks like you're fighting a boss. Do you need help?"
Talking about Yoshi vs
Talking about Yoshi vs Windows and Mario Quest makes me totally feel old. Those were the days, man.
oh gosh, yoshi vs windows.
oh gosh, yoshi vs windows. that game was the shit. 8)
I am a jonbro
I am the one at jonbro.tk. I do some music stuff, some programming stuff, and so far have made nothing but horrible games.
I'm darkzero
I was invited by a friend a while back and I only just now decided to sign up. When I'm not playing video games, screwing around the internet, or procrastinating, I'm busy making games.
I've submitted a few games
I've submitted a few games here now and would like to be more of a part of the scene here, so I suppose I should make an introduction. Every time I get in the chat in time for a Trainwreck, I forget about the chat, I'm so feverishly working on my games. And then I made mine a day late yesterday. Whoops. But from what I've seen I love you guys and your community.
I'm maybe a filmmaker more than I am a game maker, but I've been making games since 1997. I was something of a fixture in the ZZT scene in the late nineties when I went by "Newt" and made games like Lemmings clone "Zem!" and SMB-wannabe "The Punctuation People." I started working with Game Maker again last year. Poudning out a game in two hours may be my favorite creative exercise.
