I wish these news topics brought me back to the general forum when I click the "Go Back to topic list" link. I always click it without thinking.

We told people the lockdown would happen early in the new year, so everyone should be prepared with the name they want, in case the final change comes with shorter notice than expected.


This is the game JohnnyUtah and I have been working on.

I get annoyed at how Squeakytoad always bitches about something. I've seen him bitch about how a Daily Feature winner didn't deserved it because they animated poorly, how another guy didn't deserve to win monthly and how his movie was overrated because it didn't contain much animation, and scripters getting alot of money >:U Why can't you just be happy for people that win something squeaky?!?

Anyways, congrats on all the winners. I only watched the 2nd one a while ago and it was great :P

I wouldn't have thought "Christmas for one, please" would have qualified, since it was submitted 5 days after the deadline.

I'm not complaining though, it's just something I noticed.


It serves its purpose.

I don't understand why MINE was never accepted. I mean was it so bad that it didn't even make the cut?? Judging by the quality of some of them I hope it wasn't the case or else I'm just going to retire from animation and become a janitor!

Why wasn't Gift of Ages even mentioned? That was the best Christmas flash this year.


I suck.

Y'know what I noticed. There wasn't actually a deadline shown on the Xmas 2006 page. Just the Hannukah one.
I guess all in all, it'd be stupid to have a deadline for xmas themed movies set 5 days before Xmas.

I know. I'm totally pumped that I got mentioned. I would have thought it would be unfair if I got anything, though, because mine kind of sucked. My three favorites were Lil Orphan Boy, Gift of Ages, and Carol of the Robots. At least two placed.


I suck.

Wow, in total you gave $6600 dollars away. I see newgrounds is very generous. Half the profits you guys make, you end up just giving it to people who work their butts off on animation.
