HEY WHY DONT WE GIVE THE AWARD TO TOM FULP HE LEADS NEWGROUDS AND IS REALLY GREAT

hey Owen wilson, why dont you finish the job.

wait a sec... excuse me if im wrong here, but this is completely uncalled for. gavin speaks his opinion and you directly insult him? where's the justice in this?

personally, i think he has a right to voice his opinion without getting shot down or made fun of by someone with as much power and popularity as yourself. i can understand taking your friend's defense, but to just gnash out your teeth at him is a real kick in the balls, especially when everyone takes your side and agrees with you here.

im not trying to suck his dick here either, im just saying, attacking your userbase isnt exactly the most professional way to handle things, even IF he's a star syndicate member and you dont like him

also i nominate f00d to win whatever trophy award prize thing as well

Newgrounds is so damn rich.

Yup. I canceled my gamespot subscription about a week ago. But I dont truely think that gaming is commercialized, although the big ones certanitly are. Look at newgrounds. Many of our games are almost getting to commertial quality, so in a few years who knows?

Also: How did you get landed a Garbage Whistle?

Yes while the game we have may look commercial quality , its nice to know it can be as vulgar , nonsensical , and as dirty as we want.

I got the garbage whistle the same way jeff got canned, I voted low on shit Star syndicate reviews, but the flashes got protected by mass voting, thus making my zeros ineffective.

lmfao are you really that fucken dumb?!?

sweet trophy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this idea, I hope it will be named like that !

the trophies should be called the the newgs, or tankers, or flashies
i dont think the song of the year should have to be in a movie/game, because that already increases its chances by increasing its popularity
my newgrounds should get some sort of award for creativity, whatever thats under, alladin 3150, and newgrounds in a box for animating game,

sweet man i like it!

Big woop about graphics i care about humour and for that reason i would like Tankmen 2 or Halomen / Halomen 2.

I am sick and tired of people worshiping Adam Philips just because he is a very good animator. Im not taking that away from him as he does deserve to be in the top 5 flashes on Newgrounds but graphics aren't everything.

You know, comedy is everything also, his stuff has a plot, good graphics, its entertaining to watch, etc. Comedy ranking is for flashes that were MEANT to be funny, and trust me, you'll know when a flash animator is trying to be funny. This is the reason why Tom got rid of the old review system, some of the categories were most of the time irrelevant to the flash. Have you ever seen The Composer? Same thing, yet i bet you liked it, maybe its because you just don't understand Brackenwood?

Damn, what a great idea.
In the future, when I turn 30, I hope that NG becomes a world-wide mass phenomenon like... whatever a world-wide phenomenon is. Cuz it certainly deserves to be.
Imagine if NG founders are written in history text books for... something.

yes, it would sound something like this (coming from an anal-inclined teacher) "Now this kids... is what is called 'an epic phail of a post' *the whole class gasps in amazement*"

pssst...psst you can give e a trophy for no particular reason i wont tell. I even the crack open the ol bank of piggy to buy one. *WINKS*

Are sports players not entitled to defend their title in a ring, on a track, or in a field? If they are, why should it not be the same for artists. If someone can create a winning streak it would make the reward much more sweet if you beat them. It is much more satisfying to be a champ than to beat someone faceless. Though the only person who would be omitted is Adam Phillips, this is because of how humble he is though. I'd be surprised if he took it even if he was given it.

call it "The Pimped Ego Award" the reason being that anyone who gets one will have their ego swelled enormously

2) Should the song of the year be required to be featured in a game or movie (like the Oscars)? This would encourage more collaboration on big projects.

whatever

3) What nominations would you like to make for each of the above categories? These will all be taken under advisement.

movie of the year: something by rogerregorroger
games of the year: dunno
song of the year: something by writersblock
leadership: just pick some random crew leader or collab leader or moderator

Finally, here's a picture of the trophy!!!

very nice, shiny, expensive-looking, CG lens flares, guaranteed ego-booster for most people

Without a doubt, I think Tomas et la Fraise was the best movie as far as visuals and music goes down.
It tells a story without words, and does a very good job at doing so.

And Leek for Leadership Award. I've never seen such a hardworking and uplifting guy as Leek. He knows how to be serious when necessary while still being a fun guy otherwise.

Given the choice between an Oscar or a Newgrounds trophy, i'd take the NG prize. Why? Because those things are sweet! If someone tries to take it, just smash it over their head!
You've created something to be proud of.

Awesome idea, really kickass, and I think the Tankies sounds great, it's really cute. It needs to have the tm or whatever by it though like the grammies

oh man.. I hope these free wacom tablets end up in the right hands....
I REALLY could use a wacom tablet....

The tm sign is part of a trademark...I'm guessing that NG would trademark it seeing that they already have a running copyright on all of NG's images, themes, designs, and layouts.

This isn't some plastic novelty you can buy in a store; the tank was hand sculpted to match our logo and each trophy is cast from bronze. Our cost alone was over $500 per trophy! The base will include an engraved plaque so everyone knows who the winner was.

What a colossal waste of money!
