Monthly Voting, Random News

[TomFulp]

Voting for the best of September is now taking place! If you were one of the top 2,000 ranking users who was active last month, you should see a link to VOTE when you access your account options page.

The top five games and top five movies will each receive $250, a certificate and a t-shirt.

There is more money to be won! If you are making a movie with a Halloween theme, be sure to check out our Halloween Contest, with $4,500 in cash prizes.

Artists can also win big with our Video Game Rising competition in the art forum. Submit your zombified version of a popular video game character and you could win $100!

Big thanks to Jeff, aka JohnnyUtah, for the Halloween header. We're planning to put together a Halloween pre-loader for contest entries, as well.

We've started a recent initiative to provide WACOM tablets to needy artists who have been drawing with the mouse. The idea originally came from Dan Paladin of Alien Hominid / the Behemoth fame and we will be making it a regular giveaway. I'm feeling antsy, so I thought I would ask - who are some popular artists on the site who are still drawing with the mouse and would like to upgrade to a tablet?

Speaking of Dan, you can see Dan and I in the current issue of Game Informer (with Dante from Devil May Cry on the cover). We're on page 30 in a full page feature on the Behemoth! That's me holding the bent sword.

OMFG! I saw that! I was going to post it on Newgrounds!!

[AbsurdRandomness]

How am I not one of the 2,000? HOW!

[RebelliousStudios]

Although I'm not a big famous NG flash artist, I would appreciate a Wacom tablet. Puleese? Bah, it was worth a try.

[scottmale24]

I wish I were popular enough for a Wacom tablet. I could really use one. I think I'm past my prime, though.

Ah... last year. That's when I won that $250. And this shirt I'm wearing. Good ol' oldschool NG tank. This shirt's been really nice to me, actually. The picture's finally starting to peel after over a year of wearing, there aren't any holes (except for one, but that was my bad. And it's fixed now.) and the collar isn't stretched.

Mm.... comfy NG shirt.

[AbsurdRandomness]

I'm giving mine away for 50 bucks. Seriously, I prefer mouse.

If you multiply 10 by 365 days, you'll see how much experience points you'll need in order be one of the top 2,000. Shame I don't have enough points either. >:/

[Redface]

[SuperiorGhostgamer]

[Hobo-Assassin]

[Zack]

[slimt2100]

I'm liking the new banner for October... would have been funny if the two people hanging in the background were tankmen...but whatever, it's still awesome!

[Frenzy]

I'm over 3650 experience, yet I'm only Ranked # 2,549. It's top 2000 ACTIVE users. I believe you have to have at least 3000 exp., deposit your experience most days for each month, and (maybe) bbs and portal activity.

But just to be sure, go ask Afro Stud. :P

[Zack]

Tom do you think its possible that there could be a custome banner for every month, im really liking the Halloween one its bad ass
