Tom where's my pixel tank logo you promised me?

Congrats to all the winners and Happy Thanksgiving to all! :)

Tom, you do a great job in treating your userbase well and keeping personal with them, it's just sad that that sort of thing is almost non-existent everywhere else. But then again, I think that's one of many things that makes Newgrounds special.

Damn straight.

<sigh>

I'm never going to win this contest. I thought the best "undiscovered series" was a non-award winning category... and I lost that too. :(

It bothers me that animators get money for this. I feel that my contribution is being put aside when they talk about who "deserves" to win the money. They already get fame, awards, fans, can put in ads to their flash movies to gain revenue not to mention that there are several other money contests that only flash animators can win... They get all that and I toil away every week, year over year since 2005 and I got one contest that it's good for and it just cheapens my contribution for the flash authors come in and say that the searchers are nothing without their flash and, thus, less deserving. They can submit their own work if they want.

I'm aware that I'm the only person that seems to put a big level of work in collecting gems (not that that's ever helped me win), so I guess I am the exception in this belief. I may as well get over it. I do this for myself anyways, not any contest of recognition. I still wish I could do better though. I work so hard...

I have to say, this year took out a big bite of my "games" category for next year. Jellyman, Undead Hunter, When the Bomb Goes Off, Viewpoints (I really liked the style of that one), The Wizards's Notebook, The Best Year Of My Life, Me and the Key, Red White & Poo: Ep 1 and Great War of Prefectures are all ones I was saving for next year and those are the ones I remember as having saved. I can't believe how many games I liked, that were submitted this year. None of them won anyway though.

I appreciate all the games that you picked from my list Tom, so thanks. I was surprised by the number. Of course, I never expected so very many submission posts. I played pretty much all of the finalists (all except the F*ucked up ones). A lot were pretty good. I think you could have included a few more of my "series" submissions though.

The one submission that you never picked and I really don't get why was my Lab Series (episode 1). That is 12 episodes divided into 2 story arcs and is complete. It's so very rare to find a series with this level of quality and have so many episodes to also be done. I really think it deserves a series page.

Congrats to all the Treasure Hunt 09 winners and Level Up! is a cool game

It's in the intro to Level Up! I just need to color it blue and maybe make the tankman into a snowman.

Ok! Thanks!

first post :3

Criminal was awesome.

was it ? think not oO

Woah! Level up was too damn awesome!
Can't wait for a sequel, the bonus game at the end just makes me want it more!
But seriously that bonus part was epic and it had guns! But I think we need improvement on the story a bit :)
And more characters!
Yes...

You are most certainly right Tom!

Mega congrats to all the winners and a happy thanksgiving too!

Congrats to everybody who won and got their flashes noticed!

I think this the most epic treasure hunt so far.

Damn, this year's treasure hunt dug up a lot. So do these go into a collection page on NG or something?

I honestly didnt think criminal was that funny

I wouldn't have thought 'Gnu' was a 'series'...
Just a collection of shorts with the same characters, with totally irrelevant plot line.
Which is what I thought a 'series' had.
Same with a few other things you had in yesterday's post.

Eh, from the first two episodes of Gnu, it doesn't seem all that great :(

All these marvelous flashes have given me a raging boner.

plz help tom
