NEWGROUNDS TORONTO MEETUP JUNE 25

@ninjamuffin99 recently moved to Toronto is quite lonely. He's hosting a Newgrounds Meetup at College Park on Yonge Street, Toronto, Canada. The event will then be moved to Fran's Restaurant and Bar, 20 College Street (right around the corner from College Park). If you're in the area or are looking where to go for vacation, then join in the festivities.


Piconjo Day is teh h3re...

@Piconjo celebrated Piconjo Day! Check out all the entries for the day to celebrate Piconjo here!


This one goes out to all the girls "who graduate from animation"

Cartoon Network is attempting live action shows again. Their reason? Apparently, girls graduate from animation and prefer to see live action sitcoms involving comedy and drama. If you're of the female demographic and like cartoons, you're supposed to grow out of it according to Cartoon Network.

The Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch 2022


It is that time of year again, and The Tank Tribune will be covering the action for the entirety of the contest. The Audition Round has already begun, with the deadline being June 26th. This year the contest is being hosted by last year's winner @LD-W. If you're an established member of the Audio Portal here on Newgrounds, LD-W is looking for judges.


What is the DeathMatch?

The NGADM is one of Newgrounds biggest contests. It is where musicians are put against one another in head-to-head competition, tournament style. There is an audition phase where you post one piece of your work to represent yourself to see if you make the cut to Round 1. This year though there is the addition of a Loser's Bracket, so if you get knocked out early, you can climb your way back up!


AUDITION ROUND RULES

  1. You may submit any covers, mashups, remixes, VIPs, loops, or any work started before the beginning of the round.
  2. You are not allowed to submit anything that is considered a MIDI rip and/or stolen song, as per the Audio Portal Guidelines: Audio Guidelines


There will be cash prizes for the DeathMatch, with the current sponsors being @TomFulp@olskoo@Bleak-Creep, and @TeffyD!


If you're a musician here on the site, pick one of your songs and put it in the Audition Thread! We will have coverage here on The Tank Tribune for The DeathMatch going forward! Good luck to everybody!

This week's featured artist is @ElectricKoatHanger. He has this amazing style that reminds me of the early 2000's. He is going on a hiatus. He feels his art has gotten stale, so he's taking a step back to get out of his comfort zone and improve his art. 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 made by @Afro-Ninja!



If a game is not loading properly for you, then install the Newgrounds Flash Player. There are instructions on how to do so. If it is still not working or you don't understand, create a thread in the Where is / How to / Help! Forum for assistance.




Almost at 800 Followers. That's insane. When this paper started it only had 40 Followers. That was mostly because I shared the debut issue around to all of my friends here on Newgrounds. I love that this paper is how a lot of people start their Sunday mornings or relax in the evenings. I recently got my stitches removed from my thumb. There will be pictures in my next Weekly Review. My project June Games has suffered due to it. I'm playing catch up though. I want to thank all of you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic Sunday morning!

look babs, I'm on the Tank Tribune again!

Sick

Ng has press now? Can't wait to see the drama

Woah I got mentioned in here! How cool! Thank you :))

Hey! If you’re a supporter, go respond to the thread mentioned here that asks how being on the BBS has affected you on other platforms. That’s my thread, and I’m looking for some insight on how to maintain a good standing in other communities and platforms while still being able to enjoy NG to the fullest. Thanks, everyone!

Good to know about the Audio Deathmatch - now that I’m actually posting some of my music on NG, I might actually try to get in and see what happens.

ACKTCHUALLY my first daily feature was for Money Man! But Ant demoted me to a Beta Tester in fear that i would steal all his rubies so it doesn't show up on my profie

but why put one of my worst songs in the playlist, why?

What happened to the flash portal history? :(

@midgetsausage me too!

omg thanks for the mention guys! <3

Reading the Daily Features sure is hard thanks to that massive wall of text.

Suggestion: Announce the first winner(s), then their suggestion, then the next winner(s). Break it up so that it's easier to read.

hahah my quote "happy gay month yall. just remember you are loved(unless youre some weird mf)" got featured. im guessing i have some kind of sense of humor worthy for quote of the week

Woah thanks for the Best Art of May??? How'd that happen? (⊙o⊙)Unbelievable

@GlaceonDash I mean, Rivers Cuomo hated Pinkerton after it was released. Now, it’s one of Weezer’s all-time greats, and he’s embraced it.

Viva Newgrounds! I hope the guy who sprayed the Faic sees this poast.

@EscapistProductions DO IT! You have absolutely nothing to lose by auditioning!

@JoeyTheMarillFan Yeah, it's a bit weird. That has been happening with a good number of trophies lately.

@GlaceonDash I try to find some nice soothing music for the Phonograph. I came across your song and really liked it.

@Phaox05 You're the first to spot it. The blogging system only allows 20 pictures in it. Each header is a picture. I am featuring the Newgrounds Audio DeathMatch so that takes a spot. This was also the Best of May and I keep a slot opened for the Best Art of the month. Both of these took precedence over the Flash Portal History. It will be back next week though, don't you worry.

@Anonymous-Frog That's a great idea! With so many people collaborating more and more on the site, that could be helpful. It would also draw more attention to each entry for that week.
