Best of December 2013

[TomFulp]

Before I announce the Best of December, two notices!

1) Adam, the organizer of the Newgrounds Annual Tournament of Animation, has produced calendars, DVDs, T-Shirts and Posters from last year's event! If you miss the lack of a 2014 NG calendar, a 2014 NATA calendar is the next best thing. Please show your support if you enjoy the annual tournaments!

2) Newgrounds will probably be down for 12ish hours starting Sunday at midnight EST (Monday morning) while Brendon installs our new storage system. Times aren't set in stone but if the site is down around then, that is why.

Your votes are in and the Best of December have been determined!

7. You Are Disabled

That feeling when games are put in "top of the month" just due to the scores they receive rather than actually playing them to notice how absolutely terrible they are, but fake having a message behind them to make them "art". I guess we should be pleased it was a runner up at least.

[Blue-SilverDragon]

Congrats to the December 2013 winners!

[Whirlguy]

Glad to see Breadheads and Money Maker up in the list. They were amazing!

[JimmyTheCaterpillar]

I didn't vote for any of those movies, but the games I can somewhat agree with.

Nonetheless, you are all welcome for our votes.

Badly Drawn Dog got robbed!

I just noticed this after checking out ZJ's noms. This ... sucks. Did "Nacho Punch" request for it to be taken down?

Just goes to show how the quality of games has gone to shit on NG if you were able to win.

Not quite, I posted it prematurely, so it'll be live again in another month or so.

[ChazDude]

Also, next year is NG's 20th anniversary.

Should we do something special then?

[Tarenlee]

Hi, I'm Taren
I'm new on Newgrounds, just uploaded the old musics [Small Soldiers PSX Music]

If they were the YouTube channel that commissioned it, that appears to be the case.

The monthly ranking isn't based on scores. We have a panel of the top-ranked active users from the past month who rank their favorites from the past month. The people who chose You Are Disabled most likely played it and wanted it in their top list, otherwise they would have picked something else they had played / watched.
