I'm a little upset Tickles' Magic Pickles didn't do better. Oh well. Swain excels yet again, and deservingly so.

Oh god ... not Gamer Tonight. There must be a way for JohnnyUtah to retain his prize. FOR THE LOVE OF ALLAH.

1. TANKMEN .5

This was a very nice addition to TANKMEN. It tied together loose ends and had some very funny dialogue. Great work, Utah!

2. Mastermind 2

This cartoon deserves a glass of JUSTICE.

3. - Move Your Feet -

Addicting. This music video has such a lighthearted awesome feel to it, and you gotta love the crazy sprited graphics.

4. The Nut Job (part 1)

This has some amazing animation and graphics. I really like all the little details in the backgrounds. The concept was fun, as well.

5. Race Across The Rainbow

I was confused the entire time I watched this. The 3D graphics are a very unusual style, and the whole basic premise of it seemed a bit pointless... But I've never seen a Flash movie make better use of Snoopy, so for that, this Flash pwns.


Since Tankmen was an in-house production, the prize pack carries over to the first runner-up!

6. Gamer Tonight - RTS Gamer

I haven't seen this one.


TOP FIVE GAMES:

1. FPA: World 2

This was fantastic. The programming, animation, graphics, design, entertainment level... Everything about it was just so darn FANCY. It is, no question, one of the best 2D platformers ever made, and I'm talking more than just Flash.

2. StormWinds 1.5
3. Faith Fighter
4. IndestructoCopter
5. Coffee Shop

I didn't see any of these. I was busy playing FPA: World 2, hehe.

There were plenty of awesome movies this month, and one phenomenal game. 2008 is starting off pretty well, I'd say.

Awesome! Thanks for the plug, man.

Yup, definitely worth the mention. GJ rig. <3

$100 and a t-shirt is randomly being given to... RIG! I couldn't make this stuff up, folks.
WTF

Sure could use the $. Thanks, randomness!

Randomness is great. Enjoi!

Also, FPA world 2 is so damn addictive. It just kicks ass so bad.

2008 is starting out mighty fine.

Yeah, I saw it on Rucklo's news post about it. It's pretty interesting, there are great songs hidden in the Audio Portal.

I think the Audio Portal should have award trophies for the best submissions too. At least for the weekly top 5.

TOP FIVE MOVIES:

1. TANKMEN .5

Great movie, but not my favourite one from this great series.

2. Mastermind 2

In my opinion, this was the best one of the top 5. No wonder why it stood so long on the front page.

6. Gamer Tonight - RTS Gamer

Well deserved award. Close to not winning the cash prize, that would have been unfair. RubberNinja is a great artist.

TOP FIVE GAMES:

1. FPA: World 2

Amazing game, very well deserved spot in the first place. So many great artists contributed to it.

2. StormWinds 1.5

Enjoyable TD game, but it isn't the full version. We have to pay for it if we want all the extras, that's pretty sad.

3. Faith Fighter

Got any hate-mails from this one? =D

4. IndestructoCopter

A nice game as well, but not as addictive as Indestruc2Tank.

RUNNER-UP MOVIES:

7. The Nut Job (part 2)

Wow, he almost won two awards in only a month!

9. Weebl and Bob : Raiders
10. Weebl & Bob : Goo Fiction

Ironic, TheWeebl almost won two awards too!

15. Freezepop's JEM!

... what if Chris won the award?

RUNNER-UP GAMES:
11. ==Hentai Adventure Game==

It's sad when porn steal awards...

$100 and a t-shirt is randomly being given to... RIG! I couldn't make this stuff up, folks.

Ummm... why did he won the award if he isn't in the top 2,000 exp. users? Just because of the Underdog from the Audio Portal?

Speaking of the store, we just received a special delivery this week, which involved us carrying hundreds of boxes from the back of a delivery truck. More on that when the store eventually launches...

I can smell a new store coming...

No. I think the way it works is that if you vote on a flash at any time during a month, then you're automatically entered to the random draw.
It IS an amazing coincidence, though.

Not even surprised in the slightest that tankmen won. Guess it's popularity that counts.

You know, I didn't even give that one a chance until Bob recommended it to me. I am so pissed off that I can't animate either at that quality or within that kind of time frame. I wish JEALOUSY gave me as much power as BEER does. Oh well, you're right though, it was quality. I guess it just didn't sell itself somehow?

2 of my most anticipated things on NG are still to have release dates >< the chat and the store.... *sigh* I suppose once I get to play castle crashers it will all be worth the wait. As I'm assuming that is part of the lengthy coming of the 2 new NG features... OH and 'grats to all the winners!

BURN. Maybe a gold aura around the Tom's Choice submissions on the front page, eh? Why must it always settle on the boob factor!?

You know, a title like "Tickles Magic Pickles" has SO much potential for suggestive, click-inducing icons. I blame lack of imagination :P
It really is an amazing flash, though. Everyone should watch it and marvel at the quality:timeframe ratio.
