LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Good Morning Newgrounds! The Tank Tribune has surpassed 600 Followers! Thank you to all of my readers out there. We did it. We have reached 50 issues of The Tank Tribune! While working on this issue I was going back through the past issues and reminiscing. Seeing the first issue and what it has become is incredible. It is all thanks to you. Thank you to my Patrons over on Patreon. Special thanks to @rtil, @Cyberdevil, @SevenSeize, and @TomFulp for all of your unwavering support for The Tank Tribune. With that said, milkypossum has dominated the Top 5 Audio. We celebrate the team behind Olive's Art-Venture. @ninjamuffin99 was interviewed. Tom gave us a blast to the past and picked up an award for it. Without further a do, here are hip happenings of Newgrounds.

Expanding/Improving the File Dump
@CyrusOfNaias is looking to upgrade his Supporter plan to $4.99 and is asking the question if there any developmental plans in the future to expand the storage space of the Dumping Grounds. Tom has considered making the Dump a Supporter only feature going forward due to storage costs of giving out free storage to every account. It also makes it anonymous to help prevent those who would abuse it to harm other users or the site. The same idea is being considered for image sharing VIA PM system. There are also talks about multi-author being made available in the Art Portal. If you're an artist interested in gathering people together for a collage collaboration, then be on the lookout for Tom's next post.
We start the week off with something risqué. @ALDAnimator has won their first Daily Feature award for ALD Succubi Dance. We end February with @Delfrig winning his sixth Daily Feature for U. An entry in his alphabet series that started with D, skipped F, and is now up to U. We begin March with Newgrounds Veteran @Tabuley winning his second Daily Feature for Standee available!. His first Daily Feature was for 6th Patreon Animation teaser back in February 2019. We hit hump day with @TomFulp picking up his 39th Daily Feature for a game that was once a secret exclusive entitled The Last Piece of Cake DX. There is more information about this in the Flash Portal History this morning. @heyopc has received their 12th Daily Feature for winnie the pooh has entered the public domain. heyopc has also won Daily Features for LUCKYBOY, Friday Night Funkin' LOST OPENING, and Gluten-Free, just to name a few. @VoicesByCorey supplied the voice acting for this movie picking up his 11th Daily Feature award. @nuclear-smash picked won his second Daily Feature award and first solo Daily Feature award for Video Game Essayist Apology Video.

Just out of it, you know?
@MayaLaCookie has hit burnout recently. They have been pushing themselves too hard to try and step up past their previous work. MayaLaCookie has decided to take a break from art. They will still be here on the site though. We look forward to your return.
BOSS RUSH GAME
@Thecrispychannel is working on a Boss Rush game. The Tank Tribune was able to talk to him about it and he was kind enough to give us a synopsis as well as some design art.
"It's a boss rush game heavily inspired by sonic, crash bandicoot, kao the kangaroo, donkey kong country, banjo kazooie, kirby, mega man, cuphead and other games. The game is going to have 10 levels, the bosses range in size, difficulty, and overall theme. You have 2 attacks, a basic punch and an up kick. You can also fly/glide using your big ears, which is why the character's name is Hiko which roughly means flying/flight in Japanese."
Short Film UPDATE!!
@MarcoCardenas has been working on a short film for a long time now. It is called Fishman. He has the script, storyboards, score, and voice acting done. He is in the process of animation. He won the Daily Feature award for UNDER INSPECTION and shared a Daily Feature award with @SrPelo and other collaborators on Newgrounds for Spooky Month 4 - Deadly Smiles. If you want to help fund this project, then check out his Ko-Fi.
Kill Boe Collab
One of Newgrounds biggest supporters, @Noodle, is forming a collaboration based on his first game Kill Boe. A simple stick figure game where you kill the titular character Boe. The collab will feature thirty shorts about five to thirty seconds in length. If you're an animator and have interest in joining a collab on Newgrounds then read more in the Kill Boe Collab Thread. The deadline is March 15th. Noodle has also been known for the YouTube series This Week on Newgrounds as well as a series on Flash Games.
Life update c:
@Permian-Extinction has been off the site for a while. There are some good reasons as to why though. They became the featured artist for March at a coffee shop they draw at. Five original pieces will be on sale at the coffee shop. Permian-Extinction has also done some album art for a big band they like. Under an NDA though they aren't allowed to show off the work or even state the name of the band. We are eagerly waiting for Permian-Extinction to hear back from the recording label. They're also now an apprentice at Hybrid Image Tattoo in Cincinnati. Hopefully we can coax @ZJ into getting a Newgrounds Tank tattoo. Permian-Extinction is back to their full-time job and working at the tattoo shop on the weekends so there will be less posted to Newgrounds.
Back before we had the Supporter Features there was Newgrounds Secrets. These were unlocked after leveling up to higher levels. There were old movies that were taken down due to legal reasons. Involving the Smurfs and Charlie Brown. There was also a game you could play made by Tom entitled The Last Piece of Cake. Tom has tweaked it for today and released it to the public. This game was released back in 2000 and can now be played by everyone!

STORIES
X-Rated Monthly Voting Pool (February 2022)
The Monthly Awards typically ask voters not to cast votes towards adult content, due to them getting enough attention as it is to highlight other works. @Synikal has taken up the mantle to have a Monthly Voting Pool for the Adult Rated content here on Newgrounds.
It's the day I slid out of my mother...

PIC OF THE WEEK
worst thing to say before sex
15 years ago. @LittleWashu made a thread posing an interesting question. What would be the worst thing you could say to someone before you had sex. Some exceptional hilarity ensued throughout the thread. Here are a few choice favorites.
"oh I am sorry I thought you were your brother."
"Oh, by the way, my penis isn't really 10 inches, its 3."
"I smoke while having sex, so can you hold this ashtray on you face?"
"Ignore the green stuff I'm almost ,absoltuely kind of sure that it's not infectious."
Here we take a look through the favorites of our readers here on The Tank Tribune. This week we have ten favorite movies from @Noodle. Enjoy!

50 Issues. Over 600 Fans. That is incredible. Thank you all so much to those who come back here every week to read the paper and sticking it out with me through the trials and tribulations that consumed my life. I can't believe I'm actually in a good place in my life right now. That I'm able to be here with you this morning to share the news with you. To be doing The Interviewer and sharing the stories of the famous artists and members of Newgrounds. I feel like I should always be doing more, I don't want to overwhelm myself though between my day job and Newgrounds. It is a pleasure to be with you on Sunday mornings and now on Monday mornings. I also want to thank @sorohanro for allowing me to use the different versions of his song Paper Dragon as the theme song for The Tank Tribune. Ever since I heard those songs I always wanted to use them for something, but I never knew what. I feel it is fitting here. I hope that people will look to those songs the same way they say Light Orchestral Loop as The Interviewer theme. In a similar sense that Endless Handbag Loop is Newgrounds theme. Thank you all again for reading. I'll see you next Monday.
The Tank Tribune is a part of Dohn's Desk Productions
