Hello. I want to be clear that this isn't some farewell letter, not a meaning of departure. The Tank Tribune will be returning. I was hoping to return it earlier, but a lot has been going on from September through now. The Tank Tribune will be returning in January, the new year. It will also be returning to Mondays going forward. I just wanted to give all of you an update of where I've been.
COVID-19
Well, I managed to get it. It sucked. I already have a heart murmur as it is. Combine that with the symptoms of COVID and just breathing was a challenge. I couldn't work on anything Newgrounds related. The last issue I got out was while I had COVID. At first, I thought I was feeling better near the end of September. Nope. That was a lie. COVID took me through most of October as well.
Memory Issue
I was also battling memory issues from October through even today. There are times when I can't remember what I did even just two minutes ago or even remember an entire day. One of the side effects of COVID does involve memory loss. I am hoping to recover more on that front. It's been okay, but there will still be times where I will stop doing something in one room to do something in another and I had forgotten the transition or whatever I was doing beforehand. When I can remember bits and pieces it feels like I teleported. It is quite freaky. At the same time though, I don't think brains are supposed to do that.
My Dad
Before Thanksgiving, my dad had swelling in his left leg and foot. We went to the hospital and found out he had blood clots in his leg. He was put on heparin to help break up the clots. They operated on him and pulled two clots out that were each about 3 inches long. At first happy ending. After Thanksgiving though, he started having pain in his left arm. He went back to the hospital and that's when he had open heart surgery. Quadruple bypass surgery. During the surgery, he had to be put on a ventilator, because his heart wasn't as strong as the doctor's though it would be. He was taken off the ventilator at 2:00 AM EST today and he's been recovering great. Not sure when he can come home though.
That has been my past three months. A bad way to end 2022 for sure. I have been physically falling apart, mentally falling apart, and with everything going on with my dad, completely exhausted. I hope you all have been having a better time than I have.
I'll leave you with this. If you have a good relationship with your father, and you're still able to call or talk to him. Call your dad and tell him you love him. Thank you all for your kindness, patience, and understanding. I am looking forward to seeing you all here again in January.
Hello readers of The Tank Tribune. Thank you all for your patience and understanding during the past two months. For those unaware, I had COVID back in September and was recovering throughout October. During October, I have been struggling with memory issues as well. I can't remember the simplest things of the same day. I am looking to make a doctor's appointment and get looked over.
In the meantime, The Tank Tribune will be returning. Due to my work schedule though I have to return it back to Monday's. It's just easier on my mind, which I could use a lot of easy right now. Thank you again for your time, patience, and understanding, it means a lot to me.
Sorry there haven't been any issues lately. I recently had COVID and it took me out through all of August. I thought I was recovering this month, but I rebounded. I already have heart problems as it is, so with COVID making breathing difficult, it put a strain on my heart that I didn't need. I am almost 100%. I tend to return to giving you the news of Newgrounds with the return issue on October 2nd. Thank you all for your paitence.
Hello Newgrounds. Sorry for the absence, but I have been sick recently. I am feeling a little bit better today. Still sneezing and coughing. I don't think it's COVID though, just a cold. I'm gonna get this one out quick so I can rest some more.
@FuturecopLGF has a YouTube show where he reviews all the Best Games of the Month on Newgrounds. He has recently reviewed the Best of July! Check it out.
@TomFulp filled in as the moderator for the Smiling Friends Panel. Nick Wolfhard the original moderator couldn't make it there. @psychicpebbles and @MichaelCusack, the creators of Smiling Friends had a panel at the Adult Swim Festival.
@Kolumbo has brought up that the Internet Archive is currently being sued by major book publishers over their online book lending program. HarperCollins, one of the publishers suing, states that the Internet Archive has exceeded what libraries are legally allowed to do and are suing for copyright infringement.
The new episode hasn't launched on Newgrounds yet. There is an episode that was lost to time. Until now. @Xinxinix edited it and has released it to Newgrounds. An interview with @Tiny and @MigMoog by @BuhlBoy. Check out this lost episode now!
@BigTexasTony celebrated his birthday last week. Go wish him a Happy Birthday if you haven't already. Check out his works below and give them a review!
@mif2000 has written a book about video game development. You can pre-order it now. Pre-order yours today and play mif2000's games below!
We start the week off with @Ennuikal winning their eighth Daily Feature for FLCL reanimated cclip. Their previous win was for Oh neat! (Vinesauce animated). @Delfrig has won his eighth Daily Feature for another entry in Alphabet: The Series, nZ.... @justGoscha has won their first Daily Feature for Pumping Iron. A culmination of animations made with QUILL and rendered with Blender. @DynamoToon joins us again this week, winning his eighth Daily Feature for Thievin' Thurnips. He won two Daily Features last week for Monkey Wrench Reel and Helluva Boss Reel Season 2 Ep. 1. @Aaron-Long has won his 14th Daily Feature for the announcement of Season 3 of Sublo & Tangy Mustard entitled Sublo and Tangy Mustard Press Junket. @AERONVIC has won his first Daily Feature for Aeron falling journey. We close off the week with @Wazzaldorp winning his seventh Daily Feature for Frye's realisation. His previous win being for LYLE WAKE UP!!!.
The stories of Rapid Hedgehog Cucumber Cucumber. It was made by @PeopleAlways. It was his first and only flash movie here on Newgrounds. After that, he disappeared completely from the site. No posts, no reviews, no favorites, that's it. The story itself is what you would expect from a children's or tween cartoon. The bizarreness of it is the voice acting, the characters recolored and/or redesigned characters from other shows. It is surely a strange flash. One of Newgrounds little one hit wonders. From the author's descriptions, there were plans for a whole series, but it never came to fruition.
Here are the Top 5 songs from the Audio Portal based on popularity for the week of August 7, 2022 - August 13, 2022. We start off with number 5 going to @WaxTerK for Lullaby. At the number four spot goes to @Waterflame for Move or Die OST. Taking the number three spot is @DiosselMusic for Eclipse [NGUAC2022]. Coming in at number two is @TeraVex for Neo Green Hill Act 2 but it's not on GBA. And the number one song of the Audio Portal last week is Torment by @TheMusicWarrior. With inspiration from @Danivolt, @HelliXScream, and @X-ManOfficial.
This week's featured artist is @DrSaturn. He likes to draw his own characters from his Merton of Oxway universe. He likes to see them in painting and medieval styles. Check out his works below!
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 by @TomFulp
Good Morning Newgrounds! Welcome to an updated version of The Tank Tribune. Some things have been trimmed here and there. I have combined the General News, Artist News, and Community News all into one big section to help conserve space so I can post more pictures of more cool things happening! Since some of the fat has been cut, I have more to play with. I'll be expanding it further in the future. I mainly wanted to focus the paper more on news stories of what's going on the site. Another change is collaborations. I try to include those who have won Daily Features in P-Bot's Weekly Daily Features. Collaborations are becoming too large for me to really include. It just becomes a massive wall of text. I am hoping to improve this. I am looking for feedback. With that out of the way. Here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!
@CaptainStevie is hosting a meetup in Philadelphia. Downtown Sheraton Philadelphia in Panel Room 1. If the event is a success, he will host more in the future. If you plan on attending the event and have some more time to kill, the Newgrounds Office is located in Glenside, PA. Less than an hour away from the Meetup. You could stop by and say hi to Tom. Here are directions.
@Ugasisvelta is celebrating one year of The Ugasi Show here on Newgrounds with an art contest. The goal is to draw a fanart piece involving most of the cast or any of the guests that have been on the show. Rules and cast members can be seen in the news post. Below are the prizes.
1ST - $50 - Artwork will be digitally autographed by all of the cast. Winner will also receive their own UCU episode.
2ND - $25 - Artwork will be digitally autographed by all of the cast.
3RD - $15 - Artwork will be digitally autographed by all of the cast.
The deadline for the contest is August 24th. If you haven't heard about The Ugasi Show, check out some episodes below.
@Durinde has released an old school serial drama on the Audio Portal. They have made other dramas in the past. If there is general interest for this one, it will continue. Check out other one offs below.
@Delfrig has announced the release date of the next episode of one of the best anime series on Newgrounds. The 26-letter saga, Alphabet: The Series. It will be debuting tomorrow August 8th! Mark your calendars for the occasion. Recap by watching all the past episodes of the series, A-Y.
@Prox276 has a big project coming to the site. A game called Dynacore. It has been his passion project and he is excited to release it. Check out the trailer below and be ready, it will be launching on August 20th.
@ThatJohnnyGuy has released a new episode of his show The Off The Wall Show. @i9incher joined him as a guest on the show to talk about viral music marketing, his own works, and other stuff. Check it out and check out pass episodes of Off The Wall.
The frozen treat known as the Klondike Choco Taco has been discontinued by Klondike. One Newgrounds member in particular was saddened by this revelation and made a tweet about it, that user being @TomFulp. He made a tweet about it that was featured on the TODAY show's news segment about the ice cream. There has been good news in this regard. Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian has offered to purchase the rights to Choco Tacos. He doesn't have any news to share on this regard. Klondike has responded to the consumer's response in possibly bringing them back in the coming years.
@HeRetiK is celebrating the twentieth anniversary of his flash website, MINDistorion.tv. He has integrated the Ruffle engine so his games can be played once again. If you have a moment, stop on by the site. His collection can also be seen here on Newgrounds. Check out some of his works below.
@s-zenmode is celebrating reaching 500 Fans! He used to browse the site and decided to make an account. He then made a game from scratch and uploaded it to the Portal. He is now in the process of working on a game for the Mobile Game Jam. He is wrapping up an Alien Hominid Art Collab and working on his Pixel Day entry. Check out his first game and other works below!
@LD-W has announced the closing of Round 1 for the DeathMatch. No more entries may be submitted by the combatants. The judging process is underway and will last two weeks, with Round 1 beginning on August 15th, Clock Day. LD-W has made a playlist compiling all of the Round 1 entries.
@GrantTheHierophant is working on a pilot for an upcoming show he's working on called Hellion. He requires voice actors for his cast. This is a paid job in which you will be paid based on experience, equipment, and skill. Please state your rates when you apply. Here are the characters that need voices. Voice actors must be 18 years or older to audition.
Norman - a 14-year old male
Joan - a 15-year old female
Mr. Dark - a 48-year old male
Barrett - a 55-65 year old male
He encourages everyone to try out, even if you're new to voice acting. To apply simply PM GrantTheHierophant. You may link or attach a demo reel when you apply. You will then be given a script to send your audition with. Deadline for auditions is 11:59 PM on August 31st.
@Amaruuk disappeared from the site for seven years while she was working on other projects. Welcome her back to the site and check out her works below!
@Dry is organizing a collaborative album with the theme of Summer. The collaboration will be on a private Discord server. If you want to join, PM Dry a copy of your work so he can decide whether or not to give you an invite. Once you're invited you will have until August 26th to complete your song. It needs to be sent in the Discord as an .mp3 or .wav. It will be used to make one big album on YouTube.
@ZaneLittle has been working on a project where he makes a new song every day. He will be ending it on Day 30. It's not something he can keep up with due to working on songs for clients and listings. He has given advice on whether or not you should do this. For new musicians he gives a resounding yes. You can check out the collection here. Once ZaneLittle has completed the project, it will be added to the Archive.
"You don't have to share it or do anything with it, just DO it! It's fantastic practice, and wonderful discipline for people who struggle with musician's block. Forcing yourself to do this will make you more comfortable with getting started on new tracks, will make you more familiar and efficient with your DAW, and will likely force you to try new things which in basically all cases means learning new things! Finding a way around a busy schedule has its benefits too, and will get you to create music in situations where you may be limited or unfamiliar. The longer you go, the stronger a musician you will be, and I believe that fully!!"
@COOLZONE17500 has recently celebrated his 20th birthday. Wish him a happy birthday if you haven't already!
We start the week off with @Ennuikal has won their seventh Daily Feature for Oh neat! (Vinesauce animated). Their previous Daily Feature win was for MARINARA QUEST.

@DynamoToon has won his seventh Daily Feature this week for Monkey Wrench Reel. It consists of the shots he did for Monkey Wrench - The Ghost Egg. He won earlier this week for Inkwell Reel.
Toonami Collab has won a Daily Feature for its team.
There was a time when Super Smash Bros. Melee was all the rage. The anticipation for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the sequel to this masterpiece of a game was on the horizon. @NegativeONE, @Luis, @MindChamber, and @Evil-Dog came together to make Newgrounds Rumble. A game where Newgrounds biggest characters would fight against one another. It was truly a wonder and is still one of the most popular games on the site! How there hasn't been a sequel in all these years is beyond me.
Here are the Top 5 songs from the Audio Portal based on popularity for the week of July 31, 2022 - August 6, 2022. Starting off at number five is @DuttonsaysHi for their song Spectre. Taking the number four spot is @Sequenced with their song sapphire. The number three spot goes to @ThePoopHead for their song Irregularity. Coming in at number two is @Dry for their song Hot Skates.

poopypeter is not only a dedicated artist here on the site, he is one of Newgrounds biggest supporters. He helps keep the Supporter Party forum alive. Thank you to poopypeter! Here are some of his threads in the Supporter Party!
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 by @Prox276.
I hope you all have enjoyed the changes to the paper. If you didn't, then please let me know. We can only improve through feedback, and it's one of the most important aspects of Newgrounds. I have a future project that I am working on for Newgrounds. I hope you all have a fantastic morning and thank you again for reading!

Good Morning Newgrounds! This will be the last time you see The Tank Tribune like this. No, I'm not redesigning the whole page. I feel the paper has gotten a bit stale and that some sections could use some modifying. Next week, will be a brand new layout that I hope you will all like. The Newgrounds Podcast is making its return with brand new hosts! They will also be broadcasting here on Newgrounds through the Newgrounds Radio feature! The Art-Inspired Music Contest has named its winner! Round 1 of The Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch is nearing the end. Without further ado, here are the hip happenings on Newgrounds!
Round 1 of the Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch is now in progress! The deadline for the combatants is tomorrow. The judging phase for the first round will then commence!
@MonoFlauta has made a tutorial for game developers who use Unity. If you're looking to participate in an upcoming Game Jam, it will be a good idea to take a look.

In last week's issue we talked about the passing of beloved Newgrounds member life. He was one of the site's most helpful users and most helpful moderators. He was one of the key members behind the NG Department of Defense and the Wi/Ht? level up! Lounge. Thank you life for all you have done for Newgrounds. Rest in peace.
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 by @Zeebarf.
Sorry there hasn't been a lot to this issue this week. I've been hard at work trying to make The Tank Tribune better and more appealing to Newgrounds. I am excited for the return of The Newgrounds Podcast! Perhaps it will be time to feature them in the paper again. With what I have planned, I can certainly squeeze them in here. It is tough to try and fit as much as possible within this space. Perhaps one day we will have that Literature Portal. Until then, the news posts will have to suffice. Thanks again for reading and I hope you have a fantastic Sunday Morning!

@BlueHippo has reported some sad news. Longtime member and moderator @life has recently passed away. October would have been his 20th year on Newgrounds.

Summer Lovin’ Jam
“What’s your favorite way to spend an endless summer?”
Create an animation loop to the rhythm of whatever track makes you feel those chill summer vibes. Playing volleyball at a rockin’ pool party, a grillmaster flipping burgers, friends hiking in the mountains, enjoying beers by the campfire, the love of a summer fling, or lickin’ ice cream cones by the waves on the beach.
Whatever makes YOU happy; share that experience with us this summer.
Some examples have been given below, using the song summer breeze by @Droid. These have been made by @BrandyBuizel and @Cymbourine. The due date is Sunday, July 31st at 11:59PM PST.

During this time as LD-W he has won 3rd Place in the 2020 Art-Inspired Music Contest. The following year LD-W would take 1st in the Art-Inspired Music Contest. They would also win first place in last year's Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch. Now they are the host and judge of the 2022 Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch. LD-W has been a huge help to the Audio Portal, being an Audio Moderator, voice of reason in the Audio Forum, and contributor to projects here on the site.

Seth Skoda in Musical Artist Of The Year
Zeitro Music in Media Platform Of The Year

@dhudson907 has had two of his songs Frontpaged. More songs will be coming next month. dhudson907 will be playing on the New Blood stage at Bloodfestival.
@Nitgo is a new artist here on the site. He has some questions about purchasing a talent and what software to use for it. How to meet new artists and get his works noticed on the site. He also wants to know how you're doing. Give him a welcome to Newgrounds and help him out if you're a fellow artist.

He's been going to therapy due to work on the FRIDAY NIGHT FUNKIN' and his personal life. He has also given out financial advice to Newgrounds members. Be sure to give his news post a full read.
To choose just one of the many creations behind Edd Gould, a.k.a. @eddsworld, is practically impossible for the Flash Portal History. We will stick with Hammer & Fail and Hammer & Fail 2 though. They showcase the characters brilliantly. The writing and comedic timing are perfection. It is one of the funniest things on Newgrounds, with Hammer & Fail 2 winning the Triple Crown.
"I drew a revised version of the eddsworld bungalow with another floor, and then thought about using that from now on. Then i realised i coudlnt just change the house magically one episode. Then i decided it might be funny to see them build it. This was also a good time to introduce thier neighbours which have never been mentioned but i have always known ere there, thier rivals. Opposite versions of themselves, much like Bizarro, The rowdyruff boys and so forth. The original reason for splitting it was to keep fans happy faster, but in the end i think it took just as long as normal thanks to other complications!"
@xfree99x is our newest musician on the site. They joined earlier this month and have already been on the front page of Newgrounds! Check out their works below!
@Nitgo joined back in 2021. He's an artist on the site who said hello in the Intro Thread. Check out his works below!
@AleF2050 is our newest artist on the site. He was brought to the site when he was a kid by games such as Portal Defenders and Adobo's Big Adventure. He has a fascination of Japanese artwork. He's looking to get started, so any tips you can give him would be grateful.
@Template88 is wondering if the Newgrounds members have intrusive thoughts and where do they come from? Like when you're up in a high place and a small voice in your head says "JUMP". Do these thoughts come from the void? What are they? How many other members here have them?
@Fro has used a Plot Generator to auto write a story about Tom Fulp. He wants you to use it to write a Newgrounds related story. Here are some titles below.
@Fro competed in Championship Strongman Competition. There were five events, he won 1st Place in the first event, but lost the rest due to breaking his leg in the first event.
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 by @DrNeroCF.
This is a lot of fun getting to do this paper again. In the process though, I have neglected my other projects that I need to get caught up on. If you haven't become a patron on my Patreon, now would be a great time. Each month, I am donating my Patreon proceeds to the prize pool for the Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch. If you don't want to join my Patreon, that's cool, you can always donate directly to Newgrounds and message Tom telling him which of the multiple contests and jams you would like your donation to go. Becoming a Newgrounds Supporter is the main priority though. Without support, Newgrounds couldn't be what it is and do all the cool stuff it does! Thanks as always for reading The Tank Tribune and I hope you have a fantastic morning!

Good Morning Newgrounds! Before you read any further, go to General News, read about VoicesByCorey, then come back here. I just returned from my vacation. It was a wonderful time. There were many sexy pictures taken. If this issue of The Tank Tribune gets over 100 Reactions, I will post them in the next issue. I wasn't able to keep up with a lot of Newgrounds stuff during my absence due to shitty Wi-Fi and shitty reception. At the same time though, I was on vacation, so I just enjoyed myself. Next week's issue will be a banger though.
@VoicesByCorey is in financial crisis. His wife recently had surgery and he needs help. Anything you can donate would be greatly appreciated. Go to hi Ko-Fi and Donate. He has given Newgrounds so much throughout the years. Here are some of his works below.
Newgrounds has voted and the best of the month of June have been decided! Best Movie goes to @Speedo, @AmazinLarry, and @PixieWillow for Disgraced Attorney. Best Game goes to @LumpyTouch and @Spasco for Bad Monday Simulator. Best Song goes to @naytethehermit for Stalker's Mask. Best Art goes to @MicroBihon for their winning Pico Day entry Welcome to the Newgrounds Parade.
@Little-Rena is hosting another Clocks of the BBS collab for Clock Day. The deadline is August 14th, a day before Clock Day. Below is last year's entry.
@Sevi is hosting a Toonami Collab. The deadline is this Thursday! If you want to participate and feel you could have an entry out in time, contact Sevi as soon as you can to see what remaining spots are left.
@Stepford is hosting a Mobile Game Jam coming up. The Game Jam will start on August 1st. Entries must be posted before Clock Day, August 15th. If you have never entered a Game Jam, this is a great one to start on. Stepford also has a Game Developer Discord to join.
