RIP Life (NG Mod)

@BlueHippo has reported some sad news. Longtime member and moderator @life has recently passed away. October would have been his 20th year on Newgrounds. He was always a friendly and fun individual known for his works on Jive Machine and The Newgrounds Quiz #2. He will be missed by all of us here on Newgrounds.

Summer Lovin' Animation Jam

Last year was a huge Summer for Newgrounds with the Summer Animation Jams. This year it is being scaled back. A one-off Summer Animation Jam is being hosted by @BrandyBuizel. Here is the Jam detailed below.


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.


WENT TO NEWGROUNDS OFFICE!!!

@wavetro and @KindaDrake visited the Newgrounds Office. They got to meet Tom Fulp, @IvanAlmighty, and @PhantomArcade. They got to tour the office, say hi to @JohnnyUtah, chill with Tom and IvanAlmighty, and play test Nightmare Cops. There's a lot they can't talk about though.

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!"

STORIES


Intrusive thoughts

@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?


What do NG moderators eat?

@SuperRobloxBros is curious about what the moderators of Newgrounds eat. The answer appears to be Mexican food or Taco Bell.


Tell me a Newgrounds Story

@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.


Mean sirtom 93

Cold Pico Fulp

A Short Story by @Gimpmastermind


I'm coming out for the first time.

@Kiwi has come out as liking women. She has repressed this for a long time and is now come out in the open here on Newgrounds!


I competed in a championship strongman comp

@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.



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.




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!

Also, can't express my appreciation enough for front-paging my band's music twice in a row! Been lurking around here since being a kid, means a lot

Thank you for the mention!

I'm saddened tough @life passed away this sooner... :(

A very mixed feelings post. Lots of great things are happening here on NG I feel really great about, but it is sad to see someone go. Rest in peace Life.

Too many Ds maybe?
