Not such a slow day today, big gap for score a t 4th - 5th.

good week for me and my team :D

You guys did fantastic. Seriously. Congrats on the awards.

[Lambtaco]

Weekly 3rd. Go Hans!

Wow, the daily second and 1st were both like the coolest movies I have seen in a long time.

[Wonchop]

Animation Invasion was pretty neat stuff. It's like Animator vs Animator taken to the next level.
Lot of good flash this week, but Phoenix Wrong does not deserve to be at the top ahead of people who ACTUALLY ANIMATED SOMETHING.

Exactly, NG should do a system where only original work get awarded, or something...

It's in the top fifty. It'll drop quickly... as mine is doing. =/
Ah well, I got some great awards. Just some nice time of the front page and I'll be satisfied, regardless of score.

But don't let that discourage you from voting five anyway.

[Father-of-Death]

Pheonix wrong rules!!!!!

Voted 0, just for you :U. Lol, good movie. I don't think Phoenix deserved two firsts though, it made me laugh,but it was neither unique or animated.

[Jimtopia]

Phoenix Wrong was awesome, I wish they'd make more.

[Metrackle]

So let me get this straight: the voters of Newgrounds chose Phoenix Wrong: Last Stand, a Flash movie with virtually no original content, over the following:

The Spirit of Halloween 1, a fun Halloween cartoon.
ANIMATION INVASION, Animator Vs. Animation taken to another dimension.
Magical Trevor 4, Magical Trevor's catchy as usual comeback.
Arrival in Hell, a deep escape from a prison with a giant monster adventure game.

All I have to say is this:

That's Newgrounds for ya.

[S-K]

Frankly I'm gutted with 'ANIMATION INVASION'. Compare this with Strange Days guys and that's the difference between someone starting from nothing to a deadline and someone starting from nothing with the freedom to experiment as far as you want.

[DrMackFoxx]

I, for one, am surprised at the Daily 5th. The gap between mine and the other movie was SO slim.

[squeakytoad]

lmao. I've dropped from 4.30 to 4.16.
Someone ought to explain to the blammers that the top fifty ONLY UPDATES ONCE A DAY.
I'm not higher than your precious Bitey anymore, people. Can we cut the blamming for a bit?

[Black-Crystal]

Complaining about which submission is overrated is extremely useless. Instead of complaining, we should Vote.

I am sure that newgrounds has alot of Wise people and if all of them could just Vote instead of waiting around for the score to come out, Everything can be Changed.

The biggest problem is that we are all too lazy to vote which is the reason why sprites or unoriginal submissions are so overrated.

It happens. Back when I got my first weekly with SNS: Twine, it had a score in the 4.20 area. Nowadays, thanks to Piconjers and stuff, it's barely staying in the blue zone.

Yer, true, the others made more work and animation, but the laughter was good in the Phoenix Wrong movie.

Well, g'night everyone

You didn't? Aw, man.
Well at least you wound up with more views than me and I got top fifty and front page. Unfortunately, I only got front page for less than a day... so yeah...

[JavaZill]

Wow all the flash was cool today, i wish it didnt end :(

Heh, yeah. The same thing happened to me last week. My Albuquerque flash was only on the front page for slightly more than a day and when it hit number one, I got blammed into oblivion.

Ah well. At least you got a weekly award.

I'm jealous of your 50k views. I usually get that many and more, but this time, I only got 15k due to the surprisingly short front page. Meaning I earned $7.50. Which makes getting a sponsor worthless cause I could've made that much from mowing lawns in the same time I spent e-mailing my sponsor.
Meh. I can't afford to keep animating if this keeps up. I can barely pay my internet bill. =/

[squeakytoad]

And you wound up with 4.22. I got... 4.14. Meh. That's the worst downvoting any of my movies have ever received. =/

Sorry toad.... :(

It'll crawl back up. Mine wound up at seven hundred and something at first after the down voting.

Not really whining. Just feel like commenting on scores and whatnot. What else are these threads for?

Yeah, possibly.
Well, I better get to work on my next movie.

[skideh]

Woo! Weekly 5th!
Yey. I actually made something good for once.
Thanks for peoples support.
The other submissions ruled too, they probably deserved it.

[notorious]

Wow. If i had submitted the movie i submitted a few days ago today, I would have gotten Daily 5th.

I think newgrounds is too obsessed with humor. When was the last time a really creative, brand new style, serious animation got popular? I mean REALLY popular, too, like over 500,000 views, excluding Adam Phillips. Has that ever happened? Asides from Bitey movies (which are graphically and technically amazing) have we ever had a good serious non-anime artistic animation that is popular for a long time? This is supposed to be a creative outlet for up and coming flash artists, not a site simply for repetitive and humorous cart00ns, we already have plenty of those.
