# OH NO!!! The artists seem to have gone on vacation today. All of them.... in one day. Where could they have gone? In any case, it looks like the rest of The Neopets Team will have to fill in! Erm... sorry in advance.

# If you've always wanted How NOT to Draw a Petpet Rock, today is your lucky day.

# __Scyther the Mutant Ruki is the lucky winner of the lastest Pet Spotlight award!

# If you have used up all of your motes, maybe you should drop by the Brightvale Motery and pick up a few more.

# If you attended the Neopets Taiwan Launch Party on July 15th and were experiencing problems with your virtual prize code, please try it again at the Grundo Warehouse. There was a problem with the codes but they're working fine now.

# The newest issue of the Neopian Times has been released! Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like The 10 Scariest Chairs in Neopia and A Change of Heart.

# This week's Neoadventure Spotlight goes to flypups for Spacing Out or The Wayard Pickle Lord.

You reach over your lemonade for your sunscreen bottle, but before you know what's happened, you are standing in the middle of what appears to be the main deck of a space ship, looking dumbfounded...

# Four new flavours of jelly have started appearing around Neopia. Lint Jelly, Smelly Jelly, Peanut Butter Jelly, and Squished Jelly!

# The Random Contest is continuing on for another week! Good luck to all the entrants.

# If you are tired of that old Background, maybe you should try something new for your desktop.

# hamstar_6 is the lucky winner of this week's Faerie Caves Spotlight award!

# The next round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin! Head on over and vote for your favourite.

# Your Neopet will love these new Evil Fuzzles from the Plushie Palace. *cough*

# Please hurry back, artists. Please....

Frankly, I'm amazed by the lack of plot prizes.

GIVE US OUR PLOT PRIZES!

Random badly drawn fuzzles!!! I really hope those are released, and remain as they are. They almost excite me as much as prizes would

I'm more amazed at the fact that they updated at 3 pm NST. They usually updated after 6.

I just love TNT's Humor. Artists all went on vacation. xD I wouldn't blame them from all this whining about prizes. Does any one know if any of the new items are real because I looked up some of the jellies and the name doesn't pop up when searched.

I have a feeling the news will get changed later tonight.

For crying out loud. As if the rest of the week's news wasn't boring enough. Come on, TNT! You guys can do better than that. The idea was mildy funny, but poorly executed.

I actually look up to TNT. They can still be funny even after probably Thousands of e-mails about plot prizes and mind you this happens with every thing they do for us to keep us entertained with this website.

It's kinda sad that most people don't see what they have done for us and think too much about prizes and stuff. I mean they can't just center around one thing or there will be other things that will take longer to release. I mean it's just kinda annoying to see this happening expecially since there isn't much TNT can do about it anyways.

Am I the only person loving the badly drawn items ?

Moonlight Flower · Fri Jul 21, 2006 11:01 pm

I found it funny. XD;

Maybe all the artists are really slaving away on finishing the plot prize images and stuff? >3 Yes. that would explain the mass 'vacation'.

I love how they did this.. it's a lot better than 'kite day'. ^^

I loved the badly drawn cut-and-paste background.

Nope. Prizes or no prizes, the weekend news are worth a laugh. I applaude TNT for that.

Nothing in the entire weeks news made me give the 'oh that's cool' vibe. I mean the badly drawn things are kinda cool but still nothing to great in my idea.... why not a badly drawn petpet or something? (that rock does not count) However if you click the 'how to NOT draw' i did find that mildly funny. I hope they are holding out for something good for the weekend news (wich is it me or have they been 'skipping' the weekend news? lately?)

Uh, look at the dates. That is the weekend news. (Friday's news turned into the weekend's news, remember?)
