LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! Welcome to a special edition of The Tank Tribune! Today is Madness Day and we're here to celebrate everything Madness related! The Madness Series was created by Krinkels back in 2002 and became a phenomenon on Newgrounds and abroad. We started to celebrate the series in 2007 and have been ever since! With movies, games, music, art, and stories, about Hank, the Sheriff, the Clown, and the Savior. I hope you all are ready for some carnage today!

SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK

@Krinkels


For this special edition, we have the founder of the Madness Series, Krinkels! It absolutely had to be him for this selection. Through his creation of Madness he has brought a lot of people to Newgrounds and has helped launch the careers of many talented people here on the site! Madness Day serves as a chance for everyone to shine. Best part of all, he watches every movie, plays every game, listens to all the music, looks at every pieces of art, and reads every story for Madness Day! He absolutely loves all of the works and he's been doing it for every Madness Day!


"Well would you look at that. I remember registering this account from my work. I didn't have cable/dsl at the house at the time so I did all my internet nonsense from there. Hell, checking newgrounds was part of my routine after I clocked in, so naturally when the automated portal came about, along with account registration I had to jump on that. When the portal went from a small collection of cartoons to a constantly expanding culture of entertainment it was abso-fucking-lutely mind blowing. I don't even remember how I got my hands on a pirate copy of Flash 5, but I did, compelled to heave in contributions to something that entertained me so thoroughly. Thanks for having me, guys. Heres to another 20."

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!

Happy Madness Day :)

Happy Madness day, Then! Yay for cultural landmark properties being supported by the fans, And for extreme irreverence in all fields, Including Culinary, Apparently.

I can't describe how honored I feel being part of this, I mean, the community itself and this incredible post. Look! There's even a citation and A SCREENSHOT of my game! AAAAAAAAA

Wow, this bringing back so much memories of older Madness Days, Paper Mario Madness, MicMadness, the Incidents...
It's sad that Madness Retaliation didn't make the Madness Day of its year, but it surely deserved a spot here.

Happy Madness Day everyone! :D

Another BIG throwback haiku, haha. I always enjoy these news posts, guys. :)

Thank you so much for the mention! Happy Madness Day!
