Awesome game, very addictive. I loved all of the features that have been added into it, to make it like a proper 80s / 90s beat 'em up

I'll have to listen to some of your stuff - I've never heard of you - probably because I don't really haunt the Audio Portal.

BEST MOVIE OF 2007:
Waterlollies

OMG! Excuse me for being a little controversial, but how can such a dissapointing flash be voted the very best of 2007?! Surely you guys on the panel must have seen the wow factor of Adam Phillips' earlier works on the Bitey of Brackenwood series. This hasn't delivered anything new or amazing to me, as Bitey was so far ahead of its time, but for me, the time has caught up with this series and we haven't seen anything new, or innovative, when we consider the large amount of time spent between episodes.

As you can probably tell, I wouldn't have ranked this in the top half of the rankings, as my favourite for this award would have been What is Love, Blockhead Ghostmas or Madness Consternation.

Face it Tom, if you re-released Pico, with the same graphics but a new plotline, the only reason it would be voted so high would be because of your name being attached to it. I like Phillips' work, but it seems that there have been some fanboys of his creeping into the judging panel.

lmfao wow may i say you have horrifically awful taste in flash

those were my three least favorite of the nominees, hands down

if you cant see the unthinkable amount of work phillips put into waterlollies, you're fucking blind

you think THAT's controversial?
are you amish?

congratulations to the winners!

Sweet idea, ng tank awards. Did see the winners coming, though. not very suprising waterlollies won.
can't go to the convention ;_;. really wanted these embroided stickers and having a look at ng heroes.
I can't wait until next year!

Awesome picks and well done to everyone :)

Awesome Tom

Good picks, Congrats to all the winners.

Yey

Awesome, congrats everyone!
We were rather honored being nominated for this year, so thank you ;) But expect even more awesome stuff next year!

They should move it to Boston!

They should move it to Neptune. 8th planet of the solar system.
I hear the weather is nice there at an instant-freezing-death level.

I'm disappointed. For me there where better things then waterlollies. I found it to be quite boring, sure it looked ok but for me it is not all about art work.

There where definitely better games then NG rumble.

What a disappointment... really unfair votes here. A professional animator wins against a bunch of non-professional ones and an inside project wins against some really good games. Just about every other game on the nominations list were way better than NG Rumble, but since it includes NG characters, it gets the most votes. Sonny could've easily beat it out. And there is more to animations than just the art-work, but that argument has already been explained.

Waterlollies definitely deserves it. I´m not quite sure about NG rumble though. Congrats to both anyway.

This is completley bullshit! That dog should have won user of the year, not that Luis-person. What an outrage!

awsome picks cant wait 2 see whats new 2 come

And the chances of a comic con ever being held in england are......?

Congrats to all the winners. I was hoping Waterlollies would win. Isn't Luis "in house" though?

I think having Adam Philip here it'll make everyone else strive to be better. He diserves the award. He took the time to animate it and put it on Newgrounds just like everyone else.

I guess that makes sense. It just seems to me that Adam is a little out of everyone's league.

So you guys gunna make a trophy icon for the winners?

for example, the daily 1st place, weekly 1st, review crew pick, etc. icons.

Its a simple idea but i think that would be a nice little addition =]

Well Done EVERYONE

I Knew Waterlollies Would Win
And NG Rumble is a Great Game

Well Done Luis

Cheers

Obvious winners.

you have a right to your opinion, but don't make uninformed statements.

NGR was not an inside Job, the animation was worked on after hours and off the clock from any NG duties. So this submission is just as legit as any of the others.

On the 7th and 8th? Fuck you Tom! I have a show on both those days.

Romeo & Juliet FTW

meh this thread sure has gone downhill. I think people should just accept things and just move on with their lives, its always going to be forever contraversial to have to pick one movie and one game as the epitome of the year. This year this is how things panned out, next year who knows maybe youll be in the panel of judges and you'll set things right!

I think amist the negativity you lose sight of the fact that the site is going out of its way to really reward the contributions this year... its not some lame publicity stunt or car salesman type of thing.. its simply proud of its users and giving back for all thats been given to it. I dont see deviantart, kongregate, sheezy, ebaums, or whomever going out on a limb and doing that.

So yea the ones you wanted to win didnt win okay that sucks but atleast be proud that theres a site that isnt some weasel corporation trying to find ways to squeeze pennies out of you. Newgrounds isnt a faceless corp. it has a beard.
