When I was on the site for Madness Day and I came across this combination of my two favorite things it was glorious from beginning to end. This is one of my absolute favorite Madness Day submissions, the attention to detail for both universes is done so well! What are your favorite past Madness Day submissions?

RECIPES FROM THE NEWGROUNDS COMMUNITY

For today's Madness Day I thought we would go with something economical, something that can be made with little to no hassle. Something that Hank could make, eat fast, and get back into the action! Our recipe comes from @FUNKbrs, the Man Bowl.

Man Bowl

Man bowl NGer. Man Bowl. Da fuck is a Man Bowl you say? NGer, check this out: You got a microwave. Like at work, or a dorm room. No stove required. You get one large ceramic bowl, like you'd use to put salad it. The bigger the better, because you're going to be boiling water in this bitch, and you don't want it to overflow. We're about to microwave an entire fucking chicken pasta dinner.

INGREDIENTS

Egg noodles
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 small can mushrooms
a couple of spoonfuls of olives
Frozen boneless, skinless, chicken breast tenders
Bacon (optional)
two spoon fulls garlic powder
one spoon full cumin
one spoon full turmeric
one spoon full Italian seasoning
half a spoon full cayenne pepper
1-2 dashes of balsamic vinegar or olive oil

STEP 1: Fill the bowl about halfway up with eggnoodles. We're keeping this economic, to save beer money. Man priorities.

STEP 2: We're keeping it healthy up in this bitch, but we ain't got time for choppin' and cuttin'. Put in at least a whole can of diced tomatoes. A small can of mushrooms or a couple spoonfuls of olives can spice this up, but aren't strictly necessary. We can take this to the next level if you want to. This is a Man Bowl. We can take this as far as you wanna go bro. But over fill this bowl and see what happens bro. This pasta is getting steamed by these moist ass veggies. Do you know what's gonna happen after that? Do you? BRO? MANBOWL.

STEP 3: I'm not saying you can't use bacon. You can. You can add bacon after this step. I'm not your fucking mother. But me, I'm a fucking man, and I need pure protein, not sloppy pig lard. Frozen protein, too, because I'm STONE FUCKING COLD. Get some frozen boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders, the freezer bag kind, and lay them across the tomatoes like ducks in a row. They should come up to about even with the top of the bowl. Meat on top, just like the crown of a king. Fucking meat crown for the meat king goddamnit. MANBOWL.

STEP 4: I'm about to put it on you like you've never had it before, right on top of that meat. You ready?

GARLIC POWDER, two spoon fulls at least.
CUMIN one spoon full
TURMERIC one spoon full
ITALIAN SEASONING one spoon full
CAYENNE PEPPER half a spoon full

STEP 5: Now, wash that seasoning down into the bowl with a dash or two of balsamic vinegar. If you're going to lay bacon strips on them breasts, now's the time. Then, drizzle just a hint of olive oil over the top. Oil those breast up good, fuck yeah baby, do it... GET YOUR DICK OUT OF THERE IT'S FUCKING COLD.

STEP 6: Microwave for 15 minutes. On a paper plate to catch over flows if you're a bitch.

STEP 7: TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD. Your shits done, you wasted minimal time, probably rubbed one out, maybe got your ass handed to you playing some FPS. MANBOWL.

This special edition is not for kicking back and relaxing. It is time to get the adrenaline pumping! Get out there and kick some ass in these Madness Games! If you want to chill though, there is a Madness Day character creator.

I hope you all have a wonderful Madness Day today! Enjoy the violence, the carnage, the absolute mayhem! Also if you have a chance. Be sure to thank @Krinkels and @TomFulp for this amazing series and holiday that we are fortunate enough to celebrate every year. It truly does bring Newgrounds together through blood, weaponry, kickass music, and clowns. Happy Madness Day!

SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK

@JohnnyGuy

One of Newgrounds Veteran Members celebrates his 14th year here on Newgrounds. You probably know him as RealFaction, he has recently rebranded and is now JohnnyGuy. Johnny's works on the site include making music for Pico's School and Castle Crashers as well as creating the Art-Inspired Music Contest. You can also hear his voice as one of the hosts of The Newgrounds Podcast. He's always been there to help out the up and coming musicians here on Newgrounds and is always there to talk to when you need him. He has worked and improved his craft on the site for a long time. His undying support for Newgrounds should not go unnoticed.

"Ultimately, at this point, it doesn't even matter who supports me, I just wanna have fun, do what I want, without the negativity. That's why I'm moving to a new YouTube channel, but i'm staying here on this account on NG, just changing names, keeping the artwork/icon the same.

I want to give advice, do more podcasts, the radio show, maybe Newgrounds Podcast again, do comedy songs (I'm working on a couple), write a book, play games with friends and post game walkthroughs to youtube of games I enjoy, all for fun. That's all I know for now.

Thank you all for supporting me this far, I realized achievements won't make me happy, but doing what I enjoy will. Achievements/success, is all just a bonus, and temporary highs, but still something to be proud of. Ultimately, I wanted to be proud of myself, and now I finally am. Thank you all who have helped me through this journey.

The time of RealFaction is finally at an end, and a new beginning for me on this account as JohnnyGuy!

I can't wait to show you the new stuff I'm working on though! :) Love you guys! I want to spread more love and joy ~♥ love yourself, always.

With Madness Day approaching, I thought it would be nice to look back at one of the most popular and anticipated series for Madness Day, Dawn of the Madness from @LittleLuckyLink. The series took a short hiatus, but it appears to be continuing with a new entry coming out this Madness Day!

"The summer of 2008 was actually a very important time for me. There were many things going on with my personal life at the time, and I guess you could say it was a bit of a "reawakening" for me creatively. Before and during that summer, I had taken a huge interest in zombie movies. The 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead and the Resident Evil movies caught my interest in particular. The movie went through many different changes early on in production. For instance, some of the art, including the zombies, was changed and recreated with the help of a great friend of mine."

RECIPES FROM THE NEWGROUNDS COMMUNITY

Welcome back to the Newgrounds Kitchen! Today's recipe comes from the NG Club for Cooks, Bakers & Eaters. It is a recipe for banana bread. It's not your everyday bread though. We're getting nutty and we're getting liquored with this recipe courtesy of @Porkchop!

Bourbon Banana Nut Bread

Today, all the way from this liquor store that I got fantastic booze at, it's some motherfuckin Bourbon Banana Nut Bread. Alright, you're gonna need some ingredients. Not just any ingredients, but just about all of these ingredients. YOU WILL ALSO NEED a 9x5 loaf pan. Aside from that, if you got an oven, you're solid.

INGREDIENTS

2 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups mashed ripe bananas (from about 3 bananas)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons bourbon
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chunks

STEP 1: Alright, first up. Preheat your shit. Go ahead and grease and flour that loaf pan. I used about 1/2 tbsp of flour for this, but whatever works for you. Set that shit aside and get to work.

STEP 2: Sift up your flour, salt and baking powder together and set that aside too. Mash up your bananas and set it aside.

STEP 3: Hopefully by now your butter is all soft, otherwise this step sucks muchly of the cock. Take your sugar and butter and cream that shit together. You'll want it nice and fluffy and mixed up nicely. With nice, soft butter, should take about 5 minutes, much like sex with your mom.

STEP 4: Now you've got some creamy butter jizz shit, add 1 egg. Mix that shit up. Now you've got some creamy butter egg jizz shit, add the other egg and mix that shit up. You should have something that kinda looks like sugar, butter and eggs. Take your banana goop, lemon juice, and bourbon and toss it all in. Get it all stirred up nicely and take a shot.

STEP 5: Now, you'll wanna add the flour concoction all at once to the jizz mixture. Otherwise you'll work the batter too much and it will come out a bit more drier than desirable. Once you get that shit all up in there, add your nuts and chocolate chips to it and casually fold them in.

STEP 6: Hopefully by now, your oven's done heating up, your batter is all thick and delightful smelling. Toss the batter into that pan that you greased and floured way back in step one and toss that bitch in the oven for about an hour. Right around here, the prophecy gets a little murky and vague, but all data suggests that the optimal time for removal is once a toothpick comes out clean in the center.

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. Here are a few games to play to unwind on this Sunday Morning. This week are games that feature music by @JohnnyGuy!

This was quite a big issue music wise, and I felt it was deserving to give one of Newgrounds most giving member a place in the spotlight. To make sure it wasn't too much on one person though I decided to feature two different artists though. It is always amazing that this site not only brings together so many talented and skillful creators, but they all have their own stories to tell and their own trials. Anyone can make a contribution to this site, you don't need to have content in the portal to do so. Thank you to JohnnyGuy for all that you have done for the site. It means more than you probably know. I can't imagine what this place would have been like without you here.

Good Morning Newgrounds! For all the American readers Happy Patriot Day! There have been amazing acts of kindness, support from the community as a whole, and it started reminding me of how this site has come together over the years to produce some of the greatest talents and incredible creators we have ever seen. This week I wanted to dedicate more to the users and the community by acknowledging one of Newgrounds longest standing users and greatest Newgrounds Supporter, your Dad and mine, Fro. I also wanted to talk about The Tank Awards, where we honored the animators, developers, musicians, and people who make Newgrounds a happening place. The Sunday Phonograph this morning features selections from past winners of Best Musician. The Sunday Console is also outfitted with past winners of Best Game. I hope you had a big breakfast, because this week's issue is a big one!

SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK

@Fro

Fro has been with Newgrounds for over 16 years now. He started out under the username Corky52. During this time he would become a prominent member of the site. A member of the Review Request Club, writing quality reviews for all the portals. Although he wasn't the creator of The Work Out Thread, he has been not only an inspiration, but a guiding force to all those who look to better themselves. He is also co-host of The Dom and Fro Show, a podcast series here on Newgrounds! His ultimate goal though is to find anyway he can support the site and its user base. Recenlty user ForNoReason had his laptop and recording equipment stolen. Fro not only set-up a GoFundMe to help ForNoReason have his stuff replaced, but he donated to it himself. The GoFundMe has reached its goal. That is just one of many ways Fro has helped out Newgrounds!

We should all be thankful that Fro is not only a supporter of Newgrounds, but a supporter for all of us. A Husband. A Father. A Legacy.

RECIPES FROM THE NEWGROUNDS COMMUNITY

Welcome to the newest section of The Tank Tribune, the Newgrounds Kitchen! Where we will share recipes from many of Newgrounds members. To start this off is a recipe from Newgrounds Cooking show created by @agro23 entitled Deep Fried Live. In that episode there are also recipes for a martini and Black & Tan Cookies.

Tako Chip Cookies

Included in this recipe are several items with deserve further scrutiny. Cocoa nibs are the edible part of the cacao bean, and the source material for all forms of chocolate. Used in their raw state, they add a powerful bitter-chocolate flavor and a nice crunch. If you don't like crunchy cookies, get rid of the nibs. If you're unable to find a nice fine grain sea salt, kosher salt will work fine. DO NOT, however, substitute all-purpose flour for the cake flour. You'll be sorry if you do.

INGREDIENTS

1 stick (8 Tbsp) unsalted butter
1 cup of brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup cake flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp sea salt (fine grain)
1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg (to taste)
8-9 oz (1.25-1.5 cup) chocolate chips
1/4 cup cocoa nibs

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 365. In a standup mixer with the pastry paddle, cream the butter. Add the brown sugar and cream until smooth. Mix in the egg and vanilla until smooth.

STEP 2: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. (Note: It is very important to use cake flour, not all purpose flour.) Grate the nutmeg into the bowl and mix until smooth.

STEP 3: Add chocolate chips and cocoa nibs, then fold with a rubber spatula until even. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper, then spoon out the batter in tablespoon dollops. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges turn brown (best to watch them closely at the end).

STEP 4: Remove, cool, eat. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! I hope you're having an incredible Sunday! A lot has happened on Newgrounds last week, with multiple contests and winners galore! I recently celebrated 14 years on Newgrounds! We have a spiritual successor to the Karoshi games with a throwback to Portal as well! The Sunday Phonograph this week features music from veterans of the Newgrounds Audio Portal.

SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK

@The-Great-One

The-Great-One has been with Newgrounds for 14 Years, signing up on September 2, 2006. Throughout the years he was a reviewer writing reviews for movies and games, mostly for the Audio Portal though. He was also a member of the Review Request Club. He decided to give back to Newgrounds through his contributions of an archive with The Interviewer in 2009. As of today he is still going strong with The Interviewer and is now the editor of The Tank Tribune.

"There is much in my life that I would go back in time and change if I could. The one thing I never would have changed, was the experiences I have had with this place. If I were a millionaire I would give as much money as I could to keep this place alive forever. This has been a wonderful place to grow up."

ARTIST NEWS

Halloween 2020

@ClockworkPixel and @FraserMcNiven are currently working on a project for this year's Halloween. It looks like the title is going to be The Magician & The Mother. I reached out to ClockworkPixel for further comment on the project. I was also given some exclusive character design to show off.

"We were inspired by the posters of magicians and illusionists of the early 20th century, Taking ideas conjured up from those images and mixing it with an exaggerated style from 90's animation.

Whenever we start a short we throw everything at it to see what sticks. With Newgrounds being a place to share ideas and get instant feedback, I always want to experiment with animation to see what does and doesn't work.

We also work full time as animators so being able to animate our own projects instead of commercial work means we can really let loose and really get crazy!

Seeing the reaction to last years 'The Chaos Signals' we want to step up our game in terms of animation and story telling and hope we can leave people pleasantly surprised when it's released in October."

-ClockworkPixel

ZAMRadio

@TeraVex has started a radio show on Twitch. He will be featuring music from the underground talent here on Newgrounds and abroad. There will also be interviews and showcases on Wednesdays. It is looking to run daily from 11AM-3PM, perfect for lunch time!

STORIES

@BasiatordeCoronatus has some ideas to help prevent cheating in contests. Such as rotating themes. It helps prevent musicians from using Works-In-Progress for their contest entry. @Troisnyx has brought up that metadata and other variables can be used to help prevent this or at least put it to a halt during the judging phase. @NekoMika has made notes that contests are handled on good faith for the competitors. Any sense of cheating will result in barring from future competitions is an idea tossed around as well.

So Inktober May Have Plagiarized

@EpithetSoup has brought up a theory that the creator of Inktober possibly copied his book from another author. The event as a whole is now being discussed on whether or not this taint will diminish its value in the art community going forward. If you're an artist, join in on the discussion.

24 Hours on Newgrounds

To celebrate his 14th Year on Newgrounds, @The-Great-One spent 24 Hours on the site! From 12AM EST on September 2nd all the way to 12AM EST on September 3rd. He started his journey by watching the first movies that brought him into Newgrounds. What were the first movies/games you saw or played on the site?

NekoMika Level 60

@NekoMika recently hit Level 60. A reminder to vote on submissions each and every day and gain that experience points to Level Up! Congratulations NekoMIka! You Beat Newgrounds!

Lets discuss illwillpress

@illwillpress has been the subject of a bit of controversy lately. Creators and members find it unfair for him to delete his older submissions and upload them as HD re-releases and garner Daily Awards for it. illwillpress has addressed this issue and has opted out of his resubmissions to garner any Daily Awards.

I know I made myself the main feature of this issue, and believe me that was not on purpose, but I decided to roll wit it. I hated last week's issue. I felt I let a lot of you down by not having something more substantial for you. Yet to my surprise you all loved last week's issue. I even got a new Patron for my Patreon due to that issue. Which I didn't deserve any of that. I'm sorry that I've been neglectful to my projects. I have to do better not only for myself. I have to do better for all of you here as well because all of you deserve better. For once in my life it is time to actually live up to my username. It is time for once to actually be Great. I intend to. Because you all deserve greatness. Thanks for sticking with me and my works for so long, it truly means more to me than you could possibly imagine. A lot of thanks to @BenjaminTibbetts, @TheGhostOfSevenSeize, and @Xinxinix. I hope this issue surpassed last weeks. Each issue I intend to make better than the last. Together we can all be Great!

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Sorry for the absence of last week's issue. Work has been numbing lately. There has been a lot going on the site. With the resurgence of Foamy the Squirrel, Movie Playlists and more work being done on Ruffle. Since there was an absence last week, this week's Sunday Phonograph has a whopping 40 songs to listen to! With that out of the way, this is more or less a catch-up update since I haven't been able to be on Newgrounds as much as I would have liked.

Back in 2005, one of the strangest, annoying, funny, and musically entertaining series begun. Charlie the Unicorn was awoken by his friends in a journey to build a snowman. The series first made its debut on Newgrounds, became a viral sensation and eventually took YouTube by storm! Newgrounds may not be the viral entertainment platform today, but it still serves as a launching point for a lot of talented creators on the Internet and beyond!

Sorry if this issue seemed a little phoned in. It kind of was. Work has been hell these past two weeks, so I'm hoping to get back on track soon. I've actually scheduled two days off of work to hopefully have a lot of Newgrounds stuff done. In fact starting 12:00 AM EST on September 2nd, I will be celebrating my 14 Years on Newgrounds by spending 24 Hours on Newgrounds! I will also be doing a face reveal. In the meantime though, I am constantly on the grindstone and it is becoming a bit more difficult to manage my time efficiently. Sorry for the delays and absences. Shit just happens sometimes.

@Tacopug

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Happy Clock Day everybody! It's been 19 years since I decided to submit a single frame flash movie and Newgrounds would never be the same. I never imagined people would care about something like this nearly two decades later, but here we are! It's 2020 and there's plenty of clocks still making Clock movies, including one from myself! Since it's Clock Day, expect a lot of Clock movies in the portal from both new and old members. I don't have much else to say, except if you want to make animation, just make it! Even if you think you'll be the only one who'll enjoy it. Make what YOU want to make!

Today is Clock Day, so of course we have to celebrate the movie that started it all. If you can even call it a movie. It was just an off center static red letter B. That's it. Nothing more. Nothing less. It is amazing how this could cause so much outrage among some and hilarity among others back in 2001. It did though. It was uploaded on August 15, 2001. And since then we celebrate every August 15th as Clock Day in celebration of this movie and The Clock Crew!

"The idea was to submit the entire alphabet one flash movie at a time and see how people would react. I expected every single one to get blammed, but the surprising success of 'B' changed my plans."

Even more than two decades later, Newgrounds continues to be a platform where everybody is encouraged to show the world what kind of movies and games they can produce. Even if you're not a fan of the Clock content, there's so much content out there made by so many people, all with their own ideas and perspectives. I'm proud to be part of its history for strangest of reasons, but as far as I'm concerned the history of Newgrounds, what's being produced now and what the future holds is massive. It really is, 'Everything by Everyone'.

Good Morning Newgrounds! Sorry for the absence of an issue last week. I didn't have as much time to work on my projects as I would have liked due to my day job. It has been a stressful two weeks.

How Flash Games Shaped the Video Game Industry

@Jgames launced Flash Game History. A timeline of flash games throghout the Internet's history. There are more sophisticated programs used to make games nowadays. It is amazing how far flash took us. It is a fantastic read.

Attention Shitposters!

@Wegra made a thread that ended up getting spam banned resulting in all involved to receive a ban. Tom is asking that whenever a new topic is to be made that users try to make it about Newgrounds related content. Next time you're on the forums, try and talk about something you found on the site or a series you like! Maybe even something you found in the paper!

Last Week's Daily Features from the Portal as posted through P-Bot's Postings are listed here. We have a lot of big names getting the Daily Feature! @SamBakZa hits 1st with another entry into the There She Is!! series! @meatcanyon presents us a twisted take on the Teletubbies with Sunrise. @Shigloo gives us a parody on Luigi's Mansion 1 & 3 with Luigi's Long Night, be sure to catch the Goofy Movie reference there. @scriptwelder, creator of the Deep Sleep series, took home a Daily Feature with his new game Waterworks!. @danidre14 picked up a Daily Feature with Fields of Sagebrushes. A post-apocalyptic game made in 48 hours for the 12th Geta Game Jam. @PringusMcDingus takes home another Daily Feature this week with a parody on Sailor Moon. @Regyman took home the last Daily Feature this week with his thesis film for his last year of school entitled L.M.J (Loud Mouthed Jackass).

These are the people who make Newgrounds possible. Thank you!

OctoNG

@Randy-Solem brought us his four part epic from 2003-2005. After his passing they were re-released in HD and in two parts. Randy was the owner of Video Game Director's Cut. Think of it as Dorkly, but back in the early 2000's. It was that site that ultimately brought @The-Great-One and @ZJ to Newgrounds as well as many others.

“Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom may very well be one of the most epic Mario sprite movies to ever hit the web. Infact at one point this was so popular that G4's Attack of the Show brought him to the studio for a T.V interview.”

A LOOK BACK AT THREADS OF THE PAST

Wi/Ht? Level up! Lounge

A Lounge in the Where Is/How To? Forum that people could announce their milestones on the site. At first it was for Leveling Up by voting on submissions. Now people share their ranks, years celebrated on Newgrounds, pretty much anything involving a number hitting another number in sequence! It is also a nice place to chat with other members.

It's summer you all!

Have a good one, be free, do

This week we're doing the console a little differently. As noted in the paper, @scriptwelder has made his triumphant return to Newgrounds after being away for 5 years! Today we celebrate his return with the Sunday Console featuring games by scriptwelder! Enjoy!

There was no updates to the Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch. I am happy to welcome @scriptwelder back to the site! It has been too long. I just wanted to say that after doing this paper for over one month now I am happy to see how fast it grew in readers. That the members of Newgrounds are excited for the new issue and hopefully make it a part of their morning routine. Thank you so much for all of your support and help in making not only this paper what it is, but Newgrounds was it is.
