Just two more days left to vote for the Best of July! Visit your account page to see if you are part of the voting pool this month.
deadspread83 is having an art contest to design a Newgrounds ad for the back page of his comic book!
Zero Punctuation has announced the Stonking Great Game Contest! If you're a ZP fan, definitely check this out and have your game personally judged by Yahtzee.
London Meet V starts tomorrow! Sadly, I won't be there.
I WILL be at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle from September 4th-6th, though! We'll be showing Castle Crashers on the PS3, as well as the upcoming yet-to-be-named Game 3!
You can watch a little video from the San Diego Comic-Con booth, with a guest appearance by EggfordTheEgg, what now?
BTW, Zack Snyder, director of the Watchmen movie, was asked about HappyHarry's spoof during a Comic-Con Q&A and he apparently loves it.
The next stop after PAX is our second annual Behemoth booth at the Tokyo Game Show. "Game, it's so energetic!" Will any NG folks be there?
Some movies you probably missed this week:
Back from Comic-Con and still catching up on emails and PMs! I want to write about the past week, but there is so much STUFF that I feel like I don't have time to do it justice right now. Lots of people came out and lots of fun was had... Our booth had record turn-out so every year things just keep getting bigger and bigger.
You can see lots of pics at the Behemoth DevBlog!
Also sirevil posted more pics! Yes, that sirevil from the 2005 campus promo contest!
Because of the constant flow of new people through NG, I always need to explain: Back in 2002, Dan Paladin and I made a web game called Alien Hominid. We then formed the Behemoth and made a console version. Since then we made Castle Crashers, which has become a runaway hit on XBLA and is now headed to PS3! Every year we have a booth at Comic-Con in San Diego, where lots of NG folks show up and hang out.
More news after I get settled in. Power of Three is ongoing and the NG team has big stuff in the works. The foundation is being built for an exciting fall!
BTW I've seen a lot of reviews complain about the difficulty of When Pigs Fly, but I think you need to give it a shot. You start on the same screen where you died and have unlimited lives. I was able to beat it just fine!

If none of the above applies, check out some Flash that didn't win awards this week:
Sephi-hatu and SCUPizzaBoy made a game with flixel!
If anyone else submitted a flixel game before July 5th, please PM me with a link! The best game is getting a $250 prize, which was our attempt to get more people to give flixel a try. At least we got ONE convert. :)

I was at the Jersey shore on "vacation" for the past week, and I'll get all caught up this week just in time to head out to San Diego for Comic-Con next week! As usual I'll be at the Behemoth booth, pimping Castle Crashers and our upcoming console game! Come by and say HI!
BTW Reemus will likely be getting swapped out with another big game release this week! We are testing out this promo space as we prepare for the Power of Three game launches this fall. Expect much epic-ness!
Please take a moment to fill out this store survey!
We were happy to see that people actually LIKED filling out the last survey, so we figured collecting some feedback / suggestions / data on the store would be really helpful.
Luis has posted Wizard World photos!
Monthly voting has started for Best of June! Check your account options page to see if you are part of the voting pool this month and if so, VOTE!
Be sure to check out the latest Reemus adventure, it launched today!
Every once in a while, we like to update our KNOWLEDGE about what the average Newgrounds visitor is like. We can use this information to get better and more relevant ad campaigns, but it's also fun for us to know just who is browsing NG. None of this info will point back to you - it's a survey I set up on a third party website.
EDIT... I have yanked the survey. I'm under the impression the survey site was not logging results from people who didn't have accounts there. So basically I just wasted my time creating a 23 question poll and some of you just wasted your time answering it. Sorry about that.
So instead of filling out a poll, go watch this:
The third Voice Acting Contest has begun!
Your votes were cast and the winners for BEST OF MAY have been determined!
