It's not Funkeys related, but I wanted to plug what I'm doing these days, what I've always enjoyed, my art. Art Giveaway Details: So here it is, I’m going to give away a bunch of my recent ink drawings. Why you ask? Because I’m trying something new. I’m starting to stream my early morning and late night art sessions on Twitch and I’d like to start building an audience there. So Augiewan, how do we go about winning some of your amazing little doodles? Simple! Just follow me on Twitch (this will open a new tab). Every time I gain another 5 followers, I’m going to do a random drawing from the full pool of followers. I’d also love for you to let others know about this on your social media or wherever, but it’s not a requirement to partake in the giveaway… There are a couple rules: I plan to continue doing this until I hit 50 followers for a grand total of 10 winners. After that, I’ll likely continue giving out artwork, but it will probably be a weekly thing. I can only ship for free to folks in the US. If you win and you’re not in the US, I’m still happy to give you the artwork, but I may need you to chip in towards the shipping costs. You can only win once during this campaign to gain 50 followers. If you win a drawing and then unfollow me, I’ll be sad and consider you a terrible human being. The drawings in the image for this post are some but not all that will be included in the giveaway. If you win, you’ll get to choose from list I’ll send you. You must be 13+ years of age to participate. I’m not allergic to younger ones (I have 4 of my own) but the FTC assumes we’re all bad bad people and I prefer not to go to jail. I reserve the right to add more rules as time goes on and I think of relevant stuffs. Drawings include many made up characters, robots, aliens and goofy things. There is also fanart from Invader Zim, My Hero Academia, Dr. Stone, One Piece, Undertale, Hollow Knight, Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends, Earthworm Jim, Cerebus the Aardvark and more. posted by augiewan on Thursday, August 12, 2015 Thursday, August 30, 2012 Selling My Last Limited Edition Dot On eBay!

I can't make any additions the way I've been use to in the past, so until I get things changed over to WordPress, updates are going to be few and far between. Sorry everyone... In other news, I have set up a page on Facebook to start posting and promoting my artistic endeavors. I encourage everyone to take a look and " like " the page so you can be automatically notified of updates. I plan to get all of my custom Funkeys up there soon! :) Check it out! posted by augiewan at Thursday, May 06, 2010 Monday, January 4, 2010 Another Blow to the Funkeys Faithful Mattel has closed the official forums on ubfunkeys.com. I don't frequent there, so I'm not sure how recently this was done, but it couldn't have been that long ago. I fear that whatever the people on the support lines are being told to say, the writing is on the wall at this point. I haven't been able to get any feedback from our friend Funk-E at Mattel in quite a long time either. I think Mattel is handling this all pretty poorly really after all the time and money the fans have put in to Funkeys. The fact that Paradox Green was so poorly launched with the color/rarity variations not being available and the Game Creator function never really working to it's full potential that was promised on the packaging, I really thought Mattel would stand behind their product and make an effort to right what they did wrong. Release at least one correct and functional series and see if they could regain the sales and user level they had achieved. I'm sad about this. For one, I welcome anyone to the forums here that has come from the official site. I hope you find that it is warm and inviting. I have no plans to stop running this site as long as there are Funkeys Fans wanting to use it. Long live Funkeys!

Between our lack of playing time, and the over-all lack of Funkeys news I never really got around to talking much about the new feature we got with Paradox Green. Which is sad, because the Game Creator tools that are opened up with Ace and Mulch are probably one of the coolest thing they've introduced since the initial launch of U.B.Funkeys. So please, feel free to comment here about what you liked (or disliked) about the new feature. What would you like to see them do to expand the feature if we do see further expansion of the Funkeys universe in 2010?

After my post yesterday, I received a message from a visitor to the site that included the following... "Talked on the phone to a rep at Mattel Sat (26) and he assured me that they were actively working on an update for the Win 7 problem. I told him that some of the forums about Funkeys are mentioning that no updates are forthcoming and he told me those are false rumors. The projected release for the update is early Jan. (Which probably means Feb/Mar in programmer talk!)" This is great news for those who have 64 bit Windows 7 machines! Now to clarify, my last post in no way said that the drivers would NOT be made and my intent was not to start any rumors. I simply pointed to how long it took to get a Vista 64 bit driver. I'm glad to see that Mattel is still actively supporting U.B.Funkeys. If anything, this is encouraging to those of us who are still hoping for a resurgence of Funkeys in 2010! :) Thanks to all those who have contacted up on this subject...

It seems that a lot of parents have purchased Funkeys for their kids either for the first time, or maybe some have purchased new computers for their kids to play their Funkeys on...
