Congrats to the winners and THANK YOU everyone who made October awesome! Next up: Halloween Spooktacular Winners. With movies, games, art, music, pumpkins, costumes AND Jazza's Zombify winners, that's gonna be a hefty post!

If you don't mind dirty talk, I recommend checking out this movie. It's based on an overheard conversation and is a real slice of life.
Kel-chan also just released the first episode of Sanctum! She's been really ambitious with her recent 3D work.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

It's fantastic! Good catch.

[ForNoReason]

October made me feel super special inside! Great month all around. Let's keep it going for the rest of the year.

Also, I'm hosting a collab that everyone on Newgrounds can take part in:

Voices of Newgrounds

Consider this phase 1 of the project =p

Hi Tom!

:: Tank awards?

[squidly]

So Man in the Woods was posted elsewhere a few times, and earlier than Newgrounds by a lot (6 months,) is it still an okay bid for Movie of the Year?

In my opinion, no.

[DoctorStrongbad]

Excellent games in October 2014. Heart Star was fun to play.

[Cyberdevil]

Congrats to the winners! And congrats creativeusage!!

At least two that I voted at the top of the list are actually at the top of the list for a change, but it'd be strange if that was any other way. Definitely been a great month.

Should place of previous postation affect judgment process? Better late than never no? It's still an awesome movie. :/

[RB]

inb4 Luis.

[TheEnkian]

My game is in 7th place this month, my best yet :D

[Pop-Tart]

Wow, the CC had a good month. Thanks to everyone who voted for the Haunted House collab as well as for the entries by our beloveds... MelloYelloClock, RenegadeClock and Coolboyman!

I think as long as it came out in 2014, it deserves a bid.

[Wegra]

Wow now these were perfect choices for this month. All of them deserved it. And I agree we got a LOT of good ones here

[Blue-SilverDragon]

Congrats to the monthly winners.

[ZtheDargon]

Congrats to the winners! Good month for good games and movies!

[PhantomCat]

I can't believe I would have a monthly trophy if monthly trophies existed

P.S.: Haha, and in normal Clock Crew™ fashion, a Flash with 2k views is surrounded by Flashes with 38k, 54k, and 103k views.

[Wiesi]

Congrats to the winners!!

[DIWAKAR]

Congrats to the winners and creativeusage !!
I wasn't able to vote this time :P
but yeah it was an awesome month

[LexRodent]

Great selection of material.
Nice to see "Heart Star" in there, I really liked that game.

[VicariousE]

Hey Tom, there's no Spirit Science series?! I figured if I looked up Channels>Series, it would be there, or on a movie page, on the lower left in a helpful pod. Can't you get an intern to do some categorizing on behalf of NG? You'd think with more Baby Boomers retiring, they'd wanna focus on stuff like, collating :|

[dutchiscool]

Some great movies were uploaded in 2014,i loved the 2 FNaF vids aswell. Not to forget the Animator VS Animation video which was just brilliant.

Can't wait for the Best of November already!

[CyberNox]

Good movies and games.

No I mean. It's not a Newgrounds movie, it was a movie posted to Newgrounds.

Unlike Lucky Day Froever, which was posted on Newgrounds first.

[RockLou]

Yay my game got to 5th place this month! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I can do now die in peace.

[Goreguese]

this is why october's my favorite month, everyone would just threw in lots of awesome stuffs.

The tough thing is that Jacob didn't know NG was cool with non-Flash-based animation when he first released it on Vimeo. It's difficult to try and judge movies based on their "made for NG intent" because despite NG having inspired lots of people to get into animation, nowadays they have YouTube in mind when they first release stuff, or they release on Vimeo because it's ad-free. We're in this weird space where we aren't owned by Barry Diller so we HAVE to run ads. I'm just ranting now.

[Munguia]

Number 4Th Game!, Thanks!

They also use Vimeo because their interface is less cluttered *cough* *cough*

Congratz! It's an interesting game.

[Whirlguy]

Love the top 3 here. Awesome month.

[poopmcfarts]

That Animator vs Animation animation was the best one yet!
