I think Cave of Wonders is 7 Diggs away from being featured on the "Gaming" page... Can anyone help make that final push?

As you can see from this graph, our Digg referrals go up a lot when one of our submissions is featured on the Gaming section. People didn't come through for Another Small Favor; look at how sad that part of the graph looks. :(
Go Digg Cave of Wonders - we've managed to land the front page of the Gaming section twice in the past month!

This past weekend was the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in Seattle. We had a combined Behemoth / Newgrounds booth and it was our biggest year yet!
NG attendees included Glaiel-Gamer, Starogre, Goshadole, MoriChax, monkokio, Mexifry, Fawx, fluffkomix, doondeka, rawnewdlz, farfenwaffle, Nathan, Derek Yu, angryglacier and others.
MoriChax brought some Castle Crashers plushies to the booth but I somehow missed her appearance; I think I was hanging out with Glaiel and Starogre, who were across the aisle demoing the console version of Closure. Original Flash version:
Starogre (Jon) posted news and pictures from PAX and Glaiel posted tidbits as well. All three of us ended up with the flu, apparently there was a swine flu outbreak in Seattle so I might get checked out today.

You may know him better as sorohanro in the Audio Portal. Check out his songs and buy the CD to support him!
Time to vote for the Best of August. If you are part of the voting pool, you will see a big link on your account options page, under the header, "Monthly Voting Time!"
If you are a contributing member of the site, don't forget to activate revenue sharing on your account options page. You can get a cut of the ad revenue generated by your page, games, music, audio and art. If you make Flash specifically, be sure to try our Flash Ads system; it's been getting great results for games in particular.
We're in the final days of the Combat Arms front page campaign and I would like to thank everyone who tried the game, as well as Combat Arms for letting us attempt a re-skin! The results of this campaign made it possible to sponsor our ongoing weekly line-up of games. This has been a tough year for everyone but I think we all come out stronger for it.
September 22nd is Madness Day, go grab the loading screen wallpaper featuring Jebus! This works like last year, where you can use whatever preloader you want or the Flash Ads preloader, with this as the backdrop.
For an example of what your loading screen will feel like, here is a self-serving example from last year:
Madness Day prizes are subject to improve based on results, but the minimum prizes will be:
1st: $1,000
2nd: $750
3rd: $500
4th: $250
5th-10th: $100
Next up after Madness Day is our annual Halloween contest! Submit your Halloween Flash during the month of October and include the Halloween Preloader to be part of the competition.

I hope everyone has been enjoying the weekly game releases! Check out the schedule to see what's coming in the next month. It's really appreciated when people make use of the DIGG and Facebook sharing links. Our goal is for every featured game to open with 100,000 plays on day one and ultimately one million plays in one week. We can't do it without your help!
If you haven't watched Tarboy, it will be a contender for movie of the year:
