A lot of big events have been wrapping up these past few days and you have a lot of content to consume. Check out all of these collections:

Pico Day 2013 - Games and Movies celebrating Pico Day, which happened on Saturday.

Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation (NATA) 2013 Open Round - 32 animators will pass to the next round. There are a lot of unfinished entries that haven't been published but will be judged as well.

Construct 2 Touch Jam - HTML5 games made with Construct 2 and playable on your phone (mostly). Final deadline is tomorrow, April 30th.

Ludum Dare 26 - Games made this weekend with the theme of "Minimalism." Expect a lot more to arrive in the next day or two.

If you made an HTML5 or Unity game for Ludum Dare and want to showcase it on NG, PM Me for access! Our system is still in beta.

Thank you everyone who participates in events like these! There is a lot of judging to do for Pico Day, NATA and the Construct 2 Touch Jam so keep an eye out for those results as they come. Gotta power through all that this week. Voting for the Best of April will begin on Wednesday as well!

[Saminat]

Hooray for another successful pico day!

[LiquidFire]

Pretty awesome news Tom.

[TheMajormel]

This pico day was wayy better than last years, you should have livestreams more often Tom!

[Gibb50]

This was a great Pico day, I hope everyone had fun :)

[MetalBooster]

I am going to be a bit late for my game because of fixing bugs and errors,Will it count if I submit late?

[mandog]

Imagine that, a flash, audio, art, video AND HTML5 hosting!
You have outdone yourself tom, seriously.

Though I still think flash is the best format, because most people have REALLY bad internet, and cannot download those 500megabyte youtube vids.

[Blue-SilverDragon]

Congrats to the winners!

I seriously doubt in this day and age that most people are still on dial up speeds or whatever, my dad lives on a remote island in ireland and still gets broadband

The upcoming project system improvements should make all that work better, too, in terms of video pre-processing (right now you can't hit publish until it finishes) and wide-open HTML5 / Unity access, with less quirks.

pico day was awesome. a lot better than it was a couple years ago.

Was it still awesome a couple years ago though? I HOPE SO!

Tom, can't thank you enough for the invite, though I should've thrown modesty and caution to the wind, and hung around the office till the last train to Jersey left! It was a pleasure to meet you, your wife and children, as well as the rest of the Newgrounds family! Hope the hats I wore (and left) for the Mystery Boxes get ya some extra dough. Also hope Sabrina gets that red, ribbon wrapped tin I left for her, and Stamper didn't wake to an unwanted Super Slumber Party :3

Best suggestion I can make: Print up a shit-ton of Newgrounds business cards, and include them in everything you mail out (maybe even Supporter badges as well). Why? On the trip home, I saw plenty college age kids, who have no clue about our little corner of reality. If I had a bunch of cheap and cheerful, pre-made cards, I would have dutifully handed them out. Anyone who trusts you enough with their mailing address, would certainly not hoard these cards... T-shirts and stickers, sure, but getting the word out would be easier, with a simple 3.5x2 piece of paper.

i wasn't at the party so I wouldn't know :(

[Pkmn2]

Was Pico Day always this fun? I can't really recall.

Anyway, watching the stream was a blast and I would totally join in, if the meeting wasn't on another continent as mine.
I hope, I can do something special next year.

It was also fun to see all these people. I can't identify the people from NG with their true faces, but I hope this will change in the future.

All hail the coach potato.

When you mentioned the tin I was like, "Oh crap, the tin is still downstairs! People might have dug into it!" but luckily it was in-tact so it's now safely waiting for Sabs. The card idea is really cool... I wonder if people would even use them as personalized cards, if we printed them individually with the userpage URL of the user who is receiving the payment.... HMMM.

On a small farm in Southern Middlesex county. Near enough to Raceway Park, to hear the PA system and the odd explosion.
