The voter of the month and winner of $100 is ViceFullbuster!

Soooo much good stuff, congrats to the winners!

If you liked the #2 game of November (Alien Splatter), keep the NES nostalgia going with a battle against KING SPACE in Ratchet Head! It was made for an NES Jam.

Want to try a game jam? Ludum Dare 28 is this weekend! If you make a web game and upload it to NG, tag it with "ludumdare28" and I'll include it in our collection! I try to front page a lot of LD entries. You can publish swf, html5 and Unity games!

Also, Tweet about your entry and there's a decent chance we'll retweet it from @newgrounds!

congrats!

Congrats to the winners.
I'm amazed ZTV wasn't up in the Top 5 to be honest.

awesome games by awesome people!

Also the movies were pretty great. Many cool things have been coming out recently! A lot of smaller movies and games that have really gotten me excited and remind me of some old school Newgrounds happy times. I tweeted about this movie earlier today:

• Unpublished Submission

I find that I seem to enjoy projects that are made for school like this. A lot of artistic value can be seen and I like watching someone who is still learning develop and grow.

I added Empire Business to Reddit and I think everyone should go up vote the crap out of it. This game brought me back to the 90s. It is so cheap old school simple flash game. It is so "easy" but so addictive. It reminded me of the types of games that brought me to Newgrounds to begin with. The little games that opened the door to the deeper and more complex things that live here. I believe the we need solid "gateway" games like this to help grab people. It brings people in and then they get hooked on the site. Just my random ramblings about some things.

Congrats to the winners! I was hoping to do the Ludum Jam but probably won't seeing as I can't find a team and the actual Dare would be impossible for me.

[AnalogByNature]

Oops! Tom, you forgot to mention Best of November Audio: Pretty much everyone in the audio portal.
There, my OCD has now subsided. Phew!

Kudos to all of them, still, I'm a little sad that a touching masterpiece like "Snow Hare" didn't make it in the Top 5.

Dude i like ZTV News ep5

Oh wow awesome sauce thanks also congrats to all that winners that actually contributed something too. :p

[TheMadWasp]

Congratz to everyone who won/came close.

I've decided to start in the Ludum Dare, I'm actually looking into proper game development instead of making parodies. But I will be using flash to make a game this weekend.

[SinclairStrange]

2nd Monthly? Wow, I didn't expect that! So many good games that month! Maybe I should crawl back out of my hidyhole and carry on making games despite having an energy zapping job.

Congrats to everyone! ^-^.

Something that crossed my mind, whatever happened to chluaid (Adam Phillips) Did he just disappear from Newgrounds one day?

Not certain. but I think he had a heart condition over a year ago, that damn near took him out of the game. He's doing better and is honing his craft here. Really like all his work, especially his early stuff, that was more or less non-fiction. Basically, he got a real job doing this :)

I didn't realize you could also embed stuff from the Audio Portal on your blog (and elsewhere, perhaps), that's pretty solid! Be nice if you could do the same with Art.. when you click on an embedded NG picture, it takes you to the original submission page... get the artist some page hits. Could just cut n' paste, but I like my idea better.

Oh wow I didn't know all of that! I was wondering about him as well.

hey Tom are we gonna be getting 2014 Supporter Upgrades for the shop? and if so suppporters should have the option to turn ads on or off so we can still support the Site by clicking ads!

Nice update to the NG WIki, maybe you could expand on Unity and HTML a bit more here, because I'm an old fart, and have no clue about this witchcraft.

Hate to say, but I'm getting (really) tired of the low speeds Verizon/Cogent are using to get Newgrounds out. Seems worse than ever, especially when it comes to mp4/360p, and anything over 1MB in the Art Portal :| Might be time to write a few pointed letters, using official NG stationary... and maybe a severed critter head or two, in appropriate locations; after all, this IS business.

If I don't get the chance to say so, Merry Christmas Tom Fulp! May you and your beautiful family revel in the peace and joy of the holidays!
