Trailer - TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise

[Sprinxmix301]

is this game a real game? just curios

[heehebjehemdaar]

@Sprinxmix301 Sadly no it's a series you can watch on Newgrounds, but hopefully it will gain enough fans to one day become a MMO or something :)

[linkdominatesyou]

@heehebjehemdaar I'd flip right the fuck out if it ever did.

[himissatan]

Come 2020, I expect to see Terrain Of Magical Expertise on shop shelves!

[phantom8888a]

1111 anyone?

[98shahn]

@phantom8888a *huga you* thank you, thank you for knowing that

[PeanutButterC00kies]

this should be a real game it would be awesome! >w<

[KorgTheCrimsonTerror]

Well it's about time? Hahahahahaha! You know he was talking to the fans on that one.

[RJPprods]

is this a real game or something?

[DonC202]

@RJPprods I wish

[aqwquav]

If only this game was real in 8 years....

[DonC202]

@aqwquav indeed

[Garfunklmibladder]

D: GRRRRAAAARRRR~! This is potential greatness in the making~~

[Katekyo504]

Question: Though Alpha is a newbie, he can win against a veteran, cocky, yet skilled Kirbopher15, but in the episode on NG he was almost down and out. I'm guessing Kirb is too nice,rly is giving the win and rly acts well like a sore loser.

[zemlette2]

i am tempted to send in a lot of money just so i can ask him to make several clones of Willum Defoe in the background.

[TyKun04]

Oh I just LOVE the reference he made at the end... :D

[dander62]

heh heh.... Kirbs my favorite :)

[zxcpwns1]

i wish there was a z tournament in this series too :D

[craazyy1]

why is there two more 1's?

[Laytonlink]

sounds a lot like oz from summer wars

[shadowmoonkitsune]

Crow: Hey Yusei, is it gay to like Tome?

Jack :It totally is not!

Crow: Shut up, let Yusei decide.

Jack: Kay!

Yusei: Well, how could a show with guys calling each other cute Internet names and Nylocke wearing a tight fitting leotard and cape while talking in Shakesperian be anything but straight?

Crow: I don't know. Still seems kind of gay to me.

:D I'm just kidding. I love Tome! <3

[unartistic]

Hey I remember this, That series was pretty good. Had a bit of a .hack// vibe to it. I loved it then and I'm sure i will still enjoy it now.

[ubernoob11]

MOTHERF*** LIFE TOME IS BACK

[nwgoku2011]

whats the song at the end i want it

[casminlamoy]

I wish I can be a character.That I made.

[casminlamoy]

When I was watching this on my friend's computer when it said TOME you've gotta virus,she thought It will get a virus on her computer.Even I'm a lady I liked this show and my brother didn't let me see the attack after he seen it and reminded himself about sonic's RPG

[JediEternal]

13 people obviously do not understand the epicness of this news

[Rockerbro3371]

I wish this was a real game

[Pinkstarclan]

NYLOCKE!!!! DRAGON OF GETTING THUMBS UP ON YOUTUBE COMMENTS!!!

[MTSBandNerd2012]

can you make a download of Battle On? pleeeeaaaaseeee????

[Epicjester1]

i wonder if anybody gets the 111111 slash thing?

[MizoxNG]

@Epicjester1 I did. anyone who's seen TTA would. also the game.

[JediEternal]

@Epicjester1 reference to Kirbopher "hacking" the code in the original :D

[bladedoodle]

@Epicjester1 All the old fans do~<3

[UncleRiv]

Its back?! TRUTHFULLY?!?! Happiness!!

[TerraHv1]

This so sounds like the beginning of Summer Wars...

[AstraAnimations]

WOOSH!

[HollowxHunter35]

whats that song at the end?

[GreatFox42]

...Hahahaha. "Netking Software."

Why did I not notice that before.

[terrorlizard]

XDDDDDD

[Sascha79305]

Can you upload the end song on YouTube?

[mirrorman95]

@Sascha79305 I tried uploading the whole episode to Youtube, but apparently Kirb wants to keep all of it on Newgrounds. I'd suggest not even asking.

[inulover127]

Damn... I wish TOME was real. That would be the best game ever

[TFLegendReborn]

I've got to say, I never thought I would see this series again...

Hope you don't forget those who helped you out in making it a success.

Still need a Sniperwave?

[zakuraRabbit]

The intro keeps reminding me of Summer Wars... I saw the rest of the episode too, and that was freaking hilarious.:D

[mindofcyberlordtv]

Plz upload TOME on youtube plz

[GreatFox42]

TTA is coming back.

Dreams do come true.

[ztslovebird]

@GreatFox42 What's TTA?

[GreatFox42]

@ztslovebird The original sprite series TOME is a reboot of. I think you can still see them on Kirbohper's NG Flash tab.

[McMicah91]

I saw episode 1. Awesome. I can't wait to see the next episode (but I'll manage.) Also.... NYLOCKE, DRAGON OF HAMMY ACTING!!!!!

[fruitsbasketmangalov]

can someone give me the "originak series" ive been hearing of and if it has anything thing to do with this if not whens there gonna be tome 2 cus this was epic on so many levels

[ChozotheBozo]

Ohgod, that purple background, if there's anything I remember from this series, it's that purple background.

[Divock]

TTA just got 200% cooler.

[AlanHolmes1234]

since nailock was one of the best fighters in the original and now it seems like

NYLOCKE

MASTER OF THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE!!!!

is more comic relief then an actualy adept fighter

especialy since flamgirl and gamecrazed are COMPLETLY different as well

[MarioMan2010]

@AlanHolmes1234

Why does Nylocke have the same name as those evil creatures from Power Rangers Samurai?

[AlanHolmes1234]

@MarioMan2010 um... im just a fan bro XD

i have no idea ud have to ask kirbopher that

[TyKun04]

@MarioMan2010 Nylocke is actually the name of the character's creator, Colin, said backwards.

[Arella17]

I'm enjoying watching the older stuff and can honestly say I'm totally 100% looking forward to the new stuff...seriously. It had a great story I can already tell you've put alot more work into streamlining it a bit.

[DrMecha]

TTA has been Reborn with 99.9% less Pixel crap.

[Blackwargreymon57]

This intro Reminds me of Summer Wars.

[rikkulockhart15]

I just watched the first episode and loved it. All your hard work paid off and you picked a good voice cast. :)

[hamtaro844]

I cant help but watch this everyday. Its just too good to be true :'D

[TheDrunkenwhale]

I was reminded of Summer Wars right after the logos on Newgrounds, that similarity stayed until it actually begun.

Suffice to say Kirb I'm not exactly sure what to make of this. I had, at one point assumed TTA and everything associated with it was as TvTropes would say your "old shame" considering you've lampooned it in so many flashes prior, no doubt thanks to the numerous and annoying fans that screamed at you to continue it for their amusement the past few years.

[TheDrunkenwhale]

On the other hand, I would assume, and keyword being "assume", that because of the fond memories the original and it's origins on the defunct TvTome Website, the pictures that have been posted on your deviatart, and other things I can't be bothered to remember, that everything about this project means... Well it means my previous assumption is wrong and you don't hate TTA, or at the very least you don't feel shame towards it.

[TheDrunkenwhale]

That said, I really liked the result of TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise, the original TTA was something I enjoyed and I'm sure to enjoy this one as well as see what differences and changes you're going to go with it.

(Seriously doubt you're going to read this, but whatever I said my piece.)

[TheDrunkenwhale]

ONE LAST THING!

I'm sure TvTropes has updated TTA's page with TOME: Terrain of Magical Expertise's information already, if not already made a new page...

[theluiginater]

I'm just...Can I just say that this is one of the best things I've seen for the past three years?

[Slaveofamv]

Dont have a ng account so posting my response here:

Its a great first episode of the reboot/reimagining or however you call it. Can't wait to see how the story will develop this time around...

Oh, and Nylocke was presented perfectly for people who knows the original series. A new guy with the most awesome way to say his name :D

[sonauqmop42]

@Slaveofamv Well, Nylocke was great, but he wasn't at all like Nailock. Although he is just as crazy, we have yet to see how good he is at the fighting part.

[DetectiveLance]

Just finished watching the new episode on Newgrounds. I. Love. NYLOCKE! DRAGON OF DRAMATIC ACTING!

[liser]

TTA REMAKE!!!!!!!!!???????? Best news ever!!!!

[tarin174]

This is GENIUS!!!! I can't wait to see more of this, It's gonna be so awesome!! good luck to ya.

[Rakatanz]

wasnt nylocke some sort of japanese hero stereotype in the original series?

in the new series he is like the cliche medieval hero for some reason :/

sorry for my bad english

[GaruruMoon]

I already watched the Episode on Newgrounds (but dont have an account there) and its awesome. I'm looking forward to more and I will definitely be enjoying it at least as much as the original TTA series. also I'm wondering about the 111111(=63 in decimal) at the end, your character used to slice through only 1111 as I recall

[KnightofDarkSorrow]

He uploaded it on Newgrounds on 11/11/11 at 11:11am. Way to think things ahead of time =)

[sasukelover2020]

it wont load on my comp that or i cant find it

[SuperGoldenGlory2001]

Just Watched The First Episode On Newgrounds!5/5 STARS KEEP EM GOING!

[rondome18]

saw ep 1, and as a hard core tta fan, THAT WAS AWSOME!!! KIRB YOU KICK ASS LIKE NO ONE HAS KICKED ASS BEFORE!!!

[Kai30001]

kirb you should deffinently continue this that is my opinion it was oneof the best flash videos ive ever seen an ive seen the rest of your stuff i was a little skeptical at first with all the changes but by the end i was just as if not more blown away from when i saw the first episode of teh old series

[MegaPenguin1997]

I.CANT.WAIT.ANY.MORE!

[Llexum]

Any chance of me reprising my short lived role of Webmaster?

[cookietacos]

The voice cast seems like perfect team to bring the TOME characters to a renewed life...

[nessthepkwarrior]

is this like a remake? a reimagining of the series? or is it finishing it off?

[JadedLightning]

@nessthepkwarrior It's a remake.

[MegaPenguin1997]

It's going to release on friday

[darnitnappa]

This better have a fucking fourth season -:( other than that I just came. Oat.

[ojex0]

its coming back. I cant believe it. now all we need to know is if its a remake or if he's going to finish the original series.

[xDinomanx]

@ojex0 Nope, it's a pure remake. The story though is mainly the same with some differences.

[TheUnveil]

@ojex0 if youd listen to WHACHOW EVERY WEDNESDAY AT 7:00 PM CENTRAL then youd know

[Bloodyidit]

@ojex0

remake, 1st episode is on newgrounds, watch it, it is so nostalgic and awesome!

[InShane162]

@ojex0 its a remake

[TraverseTheo]

@ojex0 Remake

[bombermanp978]

awesome^^

[ShadowedSavior]

(Bows down like the lowly fanboy he is) All hail the Kirbopher! I cannot wait for this is this gonna be a new series? Or a stand-alone?

[OneWingedRose]

Is it out yet?

Is it out yet?

Is it out yet?

No?

....

Now?

[mattwo7]

@OneWingedRose He said sometime this week. Wait till Sunday for that...

[megabutler08]

ALPHA HAS A TAIL? HOW DID I NOT NOTICE?

[Antifrost]

@megabutler08 I KNOW, IT'S SO WEIRD

[MarioMan2010]

@megabutler08

He's gay! GO NYLOKE!!!!

[mattwo7]

I just noticed a shadowed figure on the ledge above alpha just as he was landing.

HMMM

[diahard88]

@mattwo7

I'm pretty sure it's just Flamy.

[mattwo7]

@diahard88 You mean flamegirl? Wasn't she the first person he met anyway?

[diahard88]

@mattwo7

Yes. They met in Purple Cave, too, just after Alpha signed up, so it's most likely that she's the shadowed figure.

[mattwo7]

@diahard88 Jeez you even remember the place's name?!

[diahard88]

@mattwo7

Hellz yeah. TTA is still my favourite flash series of all time. I loved every bit of it.

[mattwo7]

Anyone else reminded of summer wars?

[ToxicMynd]

...one of my favorite old series of anything ever is coming back? I have a weird feeling in my chest... Is this what true happiness feels like?

[OkamiPrincess15]

Hey Kirb, you know how most MMORPGs have guilds nowadays? Will TOME have that in this version? And if so, will the main characters start their own guild? Who would be the Guildmaster? And what would they call it? Will the guilds have there own headquarters like in the .hack//GU series?

[AdventX]

Good to know that Alpha still looks goddamn ridiculous.

[iceblaster123]

i always had this character for TOME

His name would be Blazerider

his class is sorta like a knight,but with phoenix capabilites(just think of falzar megaman from battle network 6)

he's backstory would happen like this:he got on a week after tome was realesed.After going 2 days without sleep,he was pretty powerful.On the 3rd day(after getting some sleep & logging on) he saw a damnziel in distress.Her name was sylvia,a dragon type looking girl(think of a human version of shooting star dragon from

[iceblaster123]

@iceblaster123 yugioh 5d's) being bothered some guys.Natruley,Blaze intervenes and meets sylvia.He's greeted by a smile and a nooblet.She kinda starts pestering him as he wonders off.Blaze can't take it anymore and tells her to take off.She still says thanks for saving her when walking away.Later shes in the woods part of the game.The same guys come back,but a lot more vicious.She tries to run away,but they catch up.She's cornered until blaze appears.Blaze barley beats the guy and is seen injure

[iceblaster123]

@iceblaster123 d.Sylvia tries to help him,but blaze tells her it's alright when certainley it's not.After a touching scene in the woods where they sleep next to each other(no not liek that;).Later sylvia asks if he could be her guard.Blaze accepts thinking there could be some fun with this.After having lots of adventure,they both got closer to each other.One eventful day,she goes missing.Blaze has been searching for her.He knows shes still online,but can't get off.

How he met the group:

[iceblaster123]

@iceblaster123 flamegirl goes into in same sitution as sylvia.Right before the rest of the group gets there.A feather strikes the guy grabbing flamegirl by the hand.Blaze appears and starts beating the crap outta the guys.Blaze gives alpha the advice knowen as "you don't know what you have until you lose it."

It be cool if this character was inside tome in anyway.If you may use it as if you want to,but i would like a shoutout if you do,but do what you want with this to your liking.

[iceblaster123]

@iceblaster123 more info if you want future scenes are stuck in my head,PM if you would like them to get out of my head :).

[monotar]

Does this follow a storyline similar to the original? :)

[MrMega124]

@monotar yes it dose its just that the art and the voices are diffrent....

[StrikerSL9]

One of the few instances where the phrases "Most popular and sought-after game in the world" and "coming soon to newgrounds" overlap.

[ninjahedgehog5]

hmmmm I always thought it was pronounced (toe-may)

[tsurugikage]

I can't wait to see it in action Kirb.

[Kirbopher15]

@645cfm He IS doing it better, he's the star!

[pikapower22]

@Kirbopher15 That crafty bastard. I assume the real Alpha wasn't the best fit for the role anymore?

[LilNaruto9tails]

@Kirbopher15 Man, Alpha is CUTE!

[legoman84484]
