Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

tom you need to make an anigen day

it'll be a glorious day where the winners will receive 5000 dollars each. except all the winners will be me

since no single day is good enough it'll have to be year round

;)

Madness: Deux Ex Machina was indeed, extremely insane. Peroxide did an awesome job, I'd love to know how exactly he does all those special effects and other eye candy, but I have the slightest bit of feeling it lies within him using Adobe After Effects in conjunction with Photoshop.

Congrats to everyone who won.

Yes! Alpha-Nuva won something!!!!

I'm glad the games got some rocognition, they can get overlooked with all the movies submitted.

You know Tom, it's a damn shame that you don't have the madness shirts ready, those would've made for great prizes.

Congrats to the madness day winners, I only actually watched one of them, the preloadeded one, and it was pretty good.

Xionic Madness didn't deserve what it got. And where was Chase of the Frankfurter Tom?

Hooray! Congrats to the winners!
Meh, half of the submissions were great anyways

all of them deserve it, and many more did, but not everyone can be a winner, still i enjoyed many of the movies submitted, good job everyone and grats to the winners =D

congrats to all! deus ex machina was amazing, weird how it didnt win anything.

Congrats to the winners! Madness Day was great and can't wait for next year!

Congratulations to them all! Also, good thing that you made a separate award for games, absolute.Madness really deserved it.

It got first :/

Good job winners!

luved madness day, i cant wait till Madness Day 2008!!!!

I love it how you ended up giving away an extra $1,250.
They were all pretty good, and you could see a lot of effort put into a number of them. Nice that nearly all those animators walked away with something.

6th place ;(? oh well, it´s better than nothing

for the money Issue, should I contact Tom directly or Bob (since I´m supposed to contact him for the shirt thing)

Yes, I agree. It was definitely one of the more entertaining pieces.

don't spend all the money on weed lol

If I ever make something worthy of getting prize money for, I'll probably buy a laptop or something

aside from a few of the material possessions you occasionally think about having in your hands during the work week, in the end, a 250 prize isn't what's worth the most. I'd say the recognition and the acknowledgment that you busted your ass and worked hard on something is what truly satisfies (or SHOULD satisfy) newgrounds flash contributors at the end of the day.

anyone agree?

Congrats to the winners of the competition then.

Don't cry, Krinkels chose them himself I believe, so they really should be fair.
It IS after all madness day.

Yours was good, I liked it better than a few above yours, but you still won, so don't complain.

Some of these were pretty cool. It's kind of overwhelming to see all the neat tricks that people pulled out of their sleeves for this contest. The episode that won, "Madness: Deus Ex Machina..." I know I sound kind of petty for saying something negative about the winner, but the fighting and action in that one weren't very interesting... It was almost like watching someone playing a video game, --more so than the original Madness-- but man was it beautifully made. All the lighting and effects... Holy crap. It was cool how the characters looked all silvery. The artwork was amazing.

I personally think "Madness Manufactory" should've got first. All that 3D stuff at the end was great. Even the lighting effects were cool. Like I said, seeing all the special effects is pretty overwhelming. Kind of makes me want to save up my money and get a version of flash that's better than Flash 5.

But I did learn a few things just from dissecting the preloader... I wish I could dissect some of the submissions.

WHAT A MADNESS DAY!!

My opinion on the winners. I strongly had a hunch that it won't be reflected from audience voting. The audience are right in a way and they picked the stuff that they like most. But deciding winners isn't all aobut voting. I've seen a fair share of stuff that are good that sank to the bottom of the portal because of NG users who did not like/understand the concept or simply missed it. Anyways, I suspect the NG crew and Krinkels would pick winners based on other factors too, like how well a movie represents the original madness, audio usage, storyline... and maybe some other factors too, and well well was I right. Deus got first, Manufactory got second, you can not kill hank got third... (isn't it spelled as "cannot", not "can not"?)

But

Almost half of the Madness Day 2007 submissions were decent and made me laugh, even some crappy ones, like the one with a Gary Brolsma in it, so Madness Day rox!
