Treasure Hunt 2009 Results Part 9

[TomFulp]

It's Day 9 of the never-ending Treasure Hunt results and we're moving on to GAMES!

But first, I'll announce the winner for MOVIES. The undiscovered gem of 2009 is....

Criminal!, by Tugoro Type: Movie Rating: Ages 13+

Criminal! It didn't win any awards and never made front page or got put in a collection... And it's just got GEM written all over it.

Tugoro isn't a well-known artist either, although surprisingly I had showcased one of his other movies in a things you missed post this past February.

The finder of the gem and winner of $200 is TURDO.

SO where were we?

Yay, I voted for that gem! Congratulations to Tuguro as well! I'm too sick to be bothered with games right now, so I'll let the rest of you do that.

[SCUD14]

Yay Wacoms :D

I should probably deserve one before lusting after one though.

[ForNoReason]

Woohoo! Congrats to Criminal and hooray for Wacoms!

But Tom, what about Thanksgiving? How could we not have a huge collection to celebrate turkey day? I think I would be a shoe in to win =p

[TURDO]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAY

[TURDO]

Tom, I just put in my paypal address.
The cash goes there I presume?

[EvilSeed]

I really have no time recently so i haven't been able to watch most of these, but Criminal was one of the few ones i watched.... weird.

And i want a Wacom but i'm a lazy ungrateful bastard who hasn't been doing anything worthy lately... so yah... i don't DESERVE it!!!11 but i'll try to do something for christmas....

Hello.

I am cast, I have a suggestion.

I think it would way more fair if you split the 200 dollar prize between artist and gem finder. (Thats 100 bucks per person, or store credit) I don't see why the creators of these gems shouldn't receive a little something for their work, they did create it, and if it was never created there would be no treasure to hunt in the first place. *cough* You know, I could add more but I'll end up being an asshole so I'll just stop. Love you.

Ok. Mhmm.

Alrighty.

bye bye.

Yes.

Talk to you later.

Bye Tom.

[cast]

BTW

I feel the winning movie is 100% deserving, I just feel the finder is only 50% deserving.

[Rucklo]

darn, you should give away flash-licenses instead of tablets, i sure as hell would apply with my tounge covered in sweet and smooth goo for Your pleasure if that'd be the case... :3

if not, it could be a fun way to catch users who submit flashes without having a proper license. BWAHAHAHA.

i made my only submission at school, so IN YOUR FACE, PERSON WHO WAS TRYING TO TURN MY WORDS AGAINST ME :P

I always worried about Macromedia/Adobe somehow coming in demanding all artists of content show a unique valid license.

[DrClay]

if you are still accepting nominations I nominate this
I loved this one

I would consider it experimental, but I'm not sure if you did something like that already

I dunno what I call it

[Mexifry]

I cant wait till Winter Flash off!
It's my favorite contest all year!

[Wonchop]

I always find it surprising that one of those most well known brands for artwork and animation centres all it's promotional blurbs around hand writing and photos. Ffffff.

This comes up every year and I do always consider doing a prize for the gem itself... But the reason why we emphasize a prize for the gem finder is because we want to motivate as many people as possible to dig into the site and find stuff. So the user gets rewarded for finding something we missed, and the thing we missed gets rewarded with the exposure it never got the first time around.

[MarcyVF]

TURDO MY DARLING! congrats on 200 bux d00d.

[spluck]

I liked that moss game and congratulations to the winner!

It would be awesome if Adobe would partner with us to give out copies... FLASH IS EXPENSIVE!

On that note, it would also be nice if Wacom partnered with us to give out tablets... I should try to accomplish both of those things in 2010.

[carljohnson]

Wow, Chocolate Easter Bunny is easily far better

WOW. I was thinking the exact same thing!

[Tugoro]

I would like to take a moment to thank Rigormort1s for his voice. This movie would be nothing without it. He also helped me out with the movie's storyline itself. But I'm sure he doesn't care if I recognize him or not. He's probably playing modern warfare 2 right now :p. Btw, Mr. Killer lives and the clerk dies. FUCKING LOL

Keep in mind everyone wants Cintiqs, CINTIQS!

[averageroadkill]

Lol, wtf? The artist who made the winning movie Criminal! doesn't win anythin, but the person who suggested it gets $200? Uhhhh that makes no sense....

[Twilight]

"The finder of the gem and winner of $200 is TURDO."

Fuck Newgrounds.
