hmmm, seen most of those, some well deserving spots. a couple i have yet to view, will do that shortly. it's awesome to see the popular artists do madness in their own style :D
There were three NG-centric Madness movies that were all in the top 10 range, so I decided to just create three additional $250 prizes for them:
11. Madness: Newgrounds
12. Madness: Pathway through NG
13. HQ Madness
haha, hooray for newgrounds :P
Also, because there were so many movies, we decided to put the best games in their own "Best Game" award category, for a $250 bonus prize each:
1. absolute.Madness
2. Madness: Deathwish
ooh baby some madness games, those should be fun, will check those out. congrats to you two ;)
Tons of other great movies didn't make this list, so be sure to check them out! We tried to maintain the winners as selected by user votes, but arranged the order to match our own preferences. Deus Ex Machina was a highly overlooked submission of the day - don't miss it because it's downright insane.
yeah, the popular vote should never be the final vote for actual prizes ;) and yes, i was surprised to see the winning submission was an unclicked link, i'll go check it out right now :)
Thank you to everyone who participated! I got a ton of PMs and emails from people saying how much they enjoyed the day, and how we should have more event days. To think, the whole concept started with the infamous Clock Day. And if you've never seen Lord of the Clocks, that is another piece of required viewing.
boy that lord of the clock was pretty damn awesome... i liked the second part due to my cameo, haha. see guys, look at the joys the clock crew has brought you. you can't deny that they run newgrounds ;) mainly that one clock, carrot, though :P
The next big NG contest is for Halloween! This is an ongoing contest, where you can submit your Halloween movies any time between now and October 31st.
man i sure hope i get something done... i'm actually starting to doubt myself already :(
madness day was cool, i miss the :3 jesus in the corner ;P
