LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Good Morning Newgrounds! There was a lot of content that has hit the Portal in January making the Monthly Voting quite difficult with the Best of January announced as well as the Pixel Day Winners! It would be a great time to check out all of the winners, vote on these submissions, and review them. There's not much in terms of news this morning, The Tank Tribune wants you to get out there, vote on some of the Best and Worst things on Newgrounds and share your favorites here on the paper! With that said though, here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

We're Starfox was a movie that took the dialogue from Star Fox 64 and created a scenario in a restaurant. It was not only a love-letter to the game, it was hilarious to boot. Creators have continued this tradition, with the most recent being @PringusMcDingus with Hi, I'm Daisy as an example.


"I've always been a huge fan of Starfox 64, and I actually quote it in real life from time to time. The idea for "We're Starfox" came when I was talking to one of my friends. I don't remember exactly how we got to the topic but we ended up talking about what it would be like if the Starfox gang went to a restaurant and which lines from the game would be funny in that situation. It was actually pretty tough making the whole thing into a story that flowed together. At first I had several different pieces of conversations that I wanted and quotes that I wanted to use. I had to stitch them all together and still make the story flow. I think I still have the sheet of paper I wrote all the scenes down on. I'll have to dig that back up."

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 Monday Morning.





Thank you all for sticking with The Tank Tribune. I am hoping to make some changes to Quote of the Week, moving it to the Supporter Section in the future, seeing as how that is a Supporter Feature now. This has been a short issue, this was done with intent for two reasons. One is I still have stuff on the back burner I need to catch up on and two is because I really want all of you to visit the Portal this morning and vote on stuff that is backlogged there. This isn't like YouTube where stuff get's passed through. We do not have an algorithm here, WE are the algorithm. So spend this morning playing on Newgrounds!

nooooooooo

Thank you for promoting my Patreon and music, and great post!

Always a joy to read these articles and right on time for coffee for this issue hell yeah!

I didn't even know Newgrounds had a newspaper, this is amazing! Thank you for promoting my music!

lmao of all the haikus you chose, you chose my fantasy of killing my abusive adoptive mother.

wow, thanks so much for featuring me as an artist! i really appreciate it!

@kruno5gaming You can do it!

Thanks so much for featuring me, but I probably worded poorly...I can't draw very well, I meant to say I'd like to share my music here, some day in the future. Most likely not any time soon. lol, sorry for any misunderstanding

My quote is a phrase I would scrawl in bathroom stalls and in the margins of my assignments in grade school as a dumb gag for people to read while they peed or looked at my assignments.

I'm kind of surprised it was considered worthy for quote of the week, but maybe that's because I've written it down so much it's lost all it's meaning to me.

Sorry for the delay, I'm seeing the newspaper only now, and I'm quite surprise (and also very happy) to be featured in there! It was totally unexepected to see my music here, I didn't think people would still know/remember me after all this time!

Thank you very much, wish you the best :)

I really don't think i'm a featured composer. But, i'm glad to be on the list and very grateful to be mentioned. You surprised me :3
