Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I am very surprised that Objectional Apparatus didn't win and didn't even get in the top 10.

lol

Well I knw MPA got a good chuckle out of that post. Since it was ment in jest even I heard someone took that seriously.

Thanks to all

there is no way that foamy hurricane special is better than any movie. 5 mb blank screens are more entertaining.

good lord the top 2000 really makes me ashamed, last month's horrible top 5 and now the sheer fact of this hurricane movie even being in the top 20 really makes you guys look "swell".

Haha, Foamy was on the runner-up list. What are people smoking? While Cigarette was awesome visually, I think it was a bit short for winning. I was surprised The Little Girl didn't make top 5 though. I'm starting to learn that Newgrounders will sacrifice story for graphics. Congrats to the winners!

Looks like all the hate this month is generally directed toward's Foamy's Hurricane Special and all the softcore porn games. And most of us don't agree with the top 5 in either category. We're always talking about the "people" who vote for this stuff. I'd love to hear from someone who put Foamy in their top 5 on this topic. We'll never see that. Strange.

Probably because they're ashamed that they don't know how to vote for anything worthwhile.

But god damn it, Newgrounds disappoints me. First Nim's Winter Tale doesn't win and now Objectionable Apparatus, which is the best movie I've ever seen on this site.

I really wanted Objectional Apparatus to make the top five as well, but I noticed how little attention it got in its time on the front page and felt it might end up just short at sixth or seventh, I was pretty damn shocked to see it all the way down at nineteenth.

I'm still having problems understanding what NGers want from a flash animation. Objectional Apparatus had length, I rarely see one minute animations getting much praise beyond ,"it was good , but too short". Graphically it was beautiful, some of the tweening effects far and away trumped the purely frame-by-frame animations. Stylistically it had a dark, brooding and original tone, totally unlike anything else I've seen on Newgrounds.

And yet with everything it had going for it its was largely ignored by the brunt of users who hold the power to push it up in the rankings. The only explanation I can think of is that the Top 2000 Voters is inhabited by a large population of younger viewers who shy away from anything that requires some thought to enjoy. I'd hate to think that users my age helped Foamy Hurricane rant rank higher than Objectional Apparatus.

W00t! hopfully ill win one tomarrow.

Lol n00b

The Newgrounds audience gravitates more towards funny flashes that don't really have to have great graphics. I do agree and thought that Objectional Apparatus was a great movie with great graphics.

Well, congrats to "Lord of the Clocks" for being #1. I'm not really a Clock fan, but that has to have some of the best production value of any movie ever seen on Newgrounds!

And congrats to ramagi for doing nothing to earn his prize. Oh, well. It's good payment for good moderation, I guess.

People often complain when the random user of the month isn't an active member on the Newgrounds forums.

Why would they complain? The pool of potential winners is the folks who vote on
flash and deposit their experience points.

I can't believe Busy Burger didn't make the top 5! Oh well, the other games were all good too. Congrats to all the winners!

I think Thing-Thing should of come in top five.

The game ends really quick and the gameplay wasn't that good.

Nope, try again.

There was a lot of good stuff this month...
including mine :D
My congrats go out to the winners, good job i suppose!

the only cool htingthat happens monthly on newgorunds that doesn't involve bleeding vaginas

CONGRATS ALL WINNERS ROFLMAO

You know people, while you are directing all the venom to wards the Hurricane Foamy episode and blaming it on fanboys you are missing something.

Sacred Space

IWillPress unleashed a second flash for the last month. If it was REALLY all about Foamy fans why wasn't that flash shown in the top 20? I'd be willing to bet that I know why. It was probably picked because it spoke to so many people. Have you read the reviews for it? It has over 2000 ('The Little Girl' is the only flash in the top 20 that comes close at 1600+. Still far short and it has been out for a much longer amount of time then Hurricane, relatively speaking) of them and even a cursory glance of 2 pages worth can tell you that it invokes PASSIONATE RESPONSES! The viewers watch it and either the say this is total crap (as you all have been doing) or they say that this rant is so on the nose that it's the best thing out there with VERY little middle ground in-between.

Everyone that says this is just a Foamy fan boy thing is completely missing the point and not even TRYING to understand why it placed 15th. Get a clue and stop mindlessly insulting something and asking "how could this happen?" without bothering to think about it for a minute (unless you just want to mindlessly hate). It's NOT about the quality of the flash. It's about the hurricane and people are still raw over it.

So how about being a tad more sensitive to those that voted for Foamy, huh? They may have had family members that suffered and seeing this animation quite possibly was just the sort of thing they were saying to themselves beforehand.

Well, congradulations to the winners, with their 250$...and their gift certicficates...and free iPod shuffle...and their-RABLE

Can't beleive it! Broken Clocks didn't win! That was an awesome flash :D But, Foamy? On the top 20? With a one frame animation? Common, thats weak. This may be my first post but seriously, thats pathetic that users voted five on it. I voted 3 on it, just because it was funny.

Ah, but remember that users wanted Protection points when it first came up - so they gave it a 5...

the thing is most people hated it. i never hear from people who like it. usually those kind of flashes draw the attention of those who don't have enough EXP or had a good enough flash that month to vote for Foamy. And his rant was ridiculous anyway. Basically he was suggesting that the news reporters stop reporting news and go help in New Orleans in place of the 40,000 ntnl guards, relief and rescue aid and volunteers. its the dumbest rant i've heard on the matter since the disaster.
