Hi, everybody! Thank you for stopping by! A few quick notes to start things off:
Bloonarius is back for revengeance in Bloons Monkey City web
A new Elite Squads Championship has started in SAS Zombie Assault 4
Battle Arenas are now out for Battles iOS and you should go play it
Bloons TD Battles Web - Balancing act
We have put out an update for Battles web that changed a bunch of prices for upgrades. These are mostly cost reductions to underused towers and if you want to see the whole list you can do so in this thread here.
There are some bug fixes also in the pipe-line. Expect a fix for certain Phoenix's flight path and a more effective sabotage from those pesky ninjas in the near future (hopefully next week!)
We will need a bit of time to see how the balance changes change the game, but let us know in the comments if any of your strategies have changed already.
SAS Zombie Assault 4 - A few new things
SAS4 web has had an update or two, too. Some fixes, some changes and some additions, including three awesome new guns available for purchase with NK coins.
These premium weapons come with a bunch of awesome perks including +50% bonus XP on kills, +50% mastery XP and you can augment and reset augments on these bad-boys for free! There's a more complete change-log in-game so be sure to check that out!
Questions from the Comments:
Do you have any idea when the Monkey Knowledge Packs will be available on BMC mobile?
I have some, but not enough to give a good estimate sorry.
How do you choose which videos make it to ninjakiwi.com/videos?
At the moment we are picking videos we find on our searches. We intend to expand the feature with ways to get a greater variety but at the moment we just find them ourselves and/or are recommended videos.
Will you add Battles Arena to the web version of Battles?
As much as we would like to, as cool as it would be, there are no plans for big changes like that in Battles web. At the moment any updates would be limited to fixes, balance changes and presumably new maps (though at the moment the only plans are the aforementioned fixes.)
What is your favourite food?
I don't feel strongly about any particular food, but chocolate might be at the top.
What are your favourite dinosaurs?
Gonna have to go with the good ol' Utahraptor at number 1. The Diplodocus is cool but bigger is better so the Amphicoelias can be number 2. Quetzalcoatlus can be number 3 because of the name.
Aaron, can you tell us about your secret plan for world domination?
I'm going to save up and buy four houses on the same street. This will take a while in the current housing market but once I get them I'm going to paint them all green, demolish them and build a red hotel in their place. I haven't really figured out the rest but from my experience that will be a good start.
Can you accidentally a whole Coke bottle?
I have before. It's not an experience I wish to repeat.
And that's all we've got time for this week! Leave questions, feedback and funny pictures in the comments below, eat your vegetables, do your homework/errands and have a great weekend.

Alright I have nothing original to write so Imma rip this off of AFN7. You fixed the HTL issue and some other stuff. Nice job NK. Apparently not ALL suggestions are treated as toilet paper. 999,999 more suggestions to go.
No offense, but while I like BLACK gear in SAS4 I think the Veteran's pack is pretty overpriced. Considering my gear there are only 4-5 items I'd like to get - out of 100+ kinds of BLACK gear. Buying a pack doesn't guarantee you to get anything specific (not to mention its level), it's just a lot that can win or lose. Considering the Veteran's pack that's ~36 US-$! Meaning every box will cost 7,20 US-$ and most likely contain something I'd sell immediately after opening the box. Nothing even worth to consider buying! Apart from that, 36 US-$ will already buy full versions of well known games! You simply don't know what you'll get for your money - and premiums are much cheaper in other games like BTD5. Selling specific guns as you do since the last update is a step in the right direction though. Still - I'd only buy "standard" guns that could also be achieved without NK coins as well. A BLACK Sublight Level 10*** would be worth 100 NK coins for me. Or maybe an item that converts RED gear of your choice into the BLACK version.
I will ask again to publish somewhere the patch notes for BTD and BMC. We need to monitor the changes somewhere (be it in a window inside the game or posted in the blog etc.)
Here a funny pictures you will enjoy Aaron http://prntscr.com/89rqle and http://prntscr.com/89rrdb
What's your lucky number?
That Metal Gear Rising reference, though. Now I can't stop imagining Aaron as Senator Armstrong.
Get a free wild card packs on BMC web?
Any ideas on introducing the Bloonchipper, the heil pilot and the monkey engineer to the BTD battles, BTD5 and BMC?
First (hilarious and original). Will there be more premium guns in the future? And why is the LTD Planet Stormer only available at 8***?
