SPOOKTACULAR
The annual Newgrounds Halloween extravaganza, the Spooktacular! Events are already happening! If you’re a creator then take a look at the events below! More will be unveiled throughout the month of September!
@LegolaSS is hosting a Halloween Art Collab where artists are welcome to make a giant hexagonal collage full of Halloween and Monster themed pieces. LegolaSS has been a part of the Dreamcast Collab, PICOLLAGE2025, and The Emoticon Collab.

@Kolumbo, who is known for the NGTV Series, is hosting another NGTV event, this time revolved around Halloween! @Boritoz109, who has been a contributor in the NGTV Series, will be joining as co-host this time around.
If you don’t know what NGTV is, here’s the situation. NGTV’s goal is to replicate the experience of watching television if the channel was Newgrounds related content. Which includes commercials, bumpers, PSAs, etc. You can find more info by clicking the picture above. If this interests you already, then go ahead and apply here.
Note, if you’re a musician or voice actor, you do not need to apply. Just share your credentials in the thread.
This collaboration will be put onto an actual VHS tape courtesy of @TeffyD.

“Popcorn with Butter is kinda gross like...it really just needs salt. At least as far as movie theater popcorn goes”
“I'm in the market for a gaming monitor preferably a 32inch 2K and 120hz or more. Any suggestions?”
“Wtf all Capcom did for Onimusha shirts was just slap the logo???? Why not the fucking box art????”
“It kinda pisses me off that I cant cheese any of the fights anymore (especially the bossss) as of Yakuza Like a Dragon. Noooooo now I have to grind my ass off and on top of that there's no easy mode. FUCK!!!!!”
“Metal Gear Solid didnt need an online mode. The single player story was more than enough!”
“Oh my god were the character intros in Mortal Kombat 10,11 and 1 always on par with the cringe writing of the MCU???”
SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK
@MaestroRage
Since 2006 he has gone through multiple aliases. SoulStrings, MaestroSorrow, MaestroSegments, and the name a lot of people on Newgrounds know him as today, MaestroRage. He has been a friend, mentor, collaborator, and one of the best composers to grace Newgrounds. The creator of the music from Toss the Turtle, winner of the first Newgrounds Tank Award for Best Musician, part of the Symphony of Specters, and whose music is part of Castle Crashers. For his dedication to Newgrounds throughout the years, The Tank Tribune honors him as Supporter of the Week.
“Newgrounds is a place so dear and important to me. And yet I rarely log in. To write about how much this site has shaped my life would be a monumental saga that nobody would care to read anyway. All you have to know is that this site, DEFINED me. My account is a frozen chapter, a snapshot of time when music meant everything to me. But I became a statistic. I couldn't make it. So I shifted to something else like so many others before, and after, me. - I will always support this site, and the creative energy that lives here.”
-MaestroRage
PIC OF THE WEEK
@JerseyWildcard
The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. This week we’re looking at some of the famous text based adventure games that have graced Newgrounds throughout generations of the site.
If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.
I have been gone for a couple of months, this is true. I’ve been battling with depression for most of my life. I won’t go into that here. I have been taking antidepressants now and have been feeling much better. It has affected my sleep schedule some, meaning I can actually go to sleep now. Rex says hi and that I can share some of his art here if you’re interested in seeing some. A few years back he made me this wonderful piece that I have hanging in the living room. It’s good to be back on Newgrounds doing what I love to do. I’ll see all of you next week.
