LETTER FROM THE EDITOR


Good Morning Newgrounds! Clock Day was this past Thursday and Round 1 - Group Stage of The Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch has begun! This morning’s Phonograph features all the combatants who have advanced to Round 1, with their pieces from the Audition Round. We take a look at Tom Fulp’s favorites. It is good to be back to writing The Tank Tribune and actually getting to work on my Newgrounds projects. With that out of the way, here are the hip happenings of Newgrounds!

23 years ago, @StrawberryClock released B and it managed to get through the Portal. This flash would bring forth @OrangeClock, @RaspberryClock, @AppleClock, @KnottsberryClock, to form The Clock Crew. Every year, we celebrate the Clocks of Newgrounds, by making Clock related movies, games, art, and music… also spamming the Portal on the day B hit the Portal, August 15th. We’ve celebrated Clock Day since 2005, this year being the 20th Clock Day. Below is my favorite Clock submission on Newgrounds!





Dexter's Laboratory Intro Reanimated!


@Burdrehnar has seen the success of Azumanga Daioh Intro Reanimated, and is looking to do the same with the intro of Dexter’s Laboratory. The goal is to have it completed by early October. If you’re interested, fill out the form here. If you’re unsure of Burdrehnar’s work, he has been a part of Freaky Fred Reanimated!, done work on Monkey Wrench 3 - Us & Them, and worked on his own projects such as Mario's Dumpster Adventure and Gustavo Goes to the Soup Store.





Forum Thread Ratings Crew


Back in May, Tom Fulp made this thread for past Forum Threads that are nefarious to be given ratings of M for Mature and A for Adult. If you happen to bump across a thread that should hold this rating then share it in the thread.

This week’s featured artist is @momotowan. He has an incredible anime style that is highly underrated here on Newgrounds. He’s open for commissions and has some animations here on the site as well! Check out his works, join his Patreon or donate to his Ko-fi!

Not So Great News


@kinjir0 has some unfortunate news. Through weeks of tests and an infection that lasted 6 days, the results show he has colon cancer. If you want to help out with medical bills, then purchase something from his store.




Click Here to be Sent to Cube Jail


@Skoops is offering you an opportunity to go to Cube Jail. Do you dare go? Clicking the link is a one way ticket.




First Update of the planetologist =)


@JamesChapp and @gares232 have released an update to their game The Planetologist. There have been changes and fixes done to the game. They’re looking for feedback, so give it a play and a comprehensive review!

We’ve covered the historic B submission here on Newgrounds before. I think it’s important to look at the history of the Clock Crew as a whole and its founder, the King of the Portal, StrawberryClock. @Graeme did an in-depth video on this historic piece, its creator, and how it made one of the biggest Newgrounds factions that many would imitate over the years.

@Template88


Template88. What can’t be said about her? An incredible artist on the site for sure. However her main contribution to Newgrounds is the knowledge of her craft that she has honed for years. She was a guest for The Interviewer back in 2016, and her words on art, critique, and evaluation are still relevant to this day. She has assisted in multiple projects, been a judge in the revived Treasure Hunt, a part of Sketch Collab 2022, and has helped many aspiring artists. Thank you Template88 for all you have given and continue to give to Newgrounds.


“I’m trying to make the art forum and portal slightly better places for people to be, that I am sure I can do. I would like to make Newgrounds as a whole a better place in general but I am only one person and my contribution is a small drop of hard water in a sea of piss, blood and god knows what else.”

LATEST INTERVIEW: Tangerine


@Aalasteir sat down with musician @Tangerine to talk about their music, art, and Newgrounds as a whole. With works such as Happy Days!, Just Another Crime, and My first attempt at Red Knight. just to name a few.

Newgrounds, finish this comic!


@BlakeyTakeyTheCakey has posted a comic in the Art Forum. He wants Newgrounds members to finish it! It has been expanded on already. Add your addition or ending to it!


iu_1254121_8044563.png




music that gave you goosebumps?


@Margey wants to know what songs in video games give you goosebumps, the shivers, make you anxious when you hear them. @Painbringer derives his goosebumps from the Age of Empires games, Rock 1 from Simcopter, Rock 3 from Streets of SimCity, and Warcraft. @Bundeluxe has chosen the last stand song We're Counting on You, Mario! from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, I Believe from Persona 5 Royal, and The Fateful Return (Tower Approach) from Shovel Knight.

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. This week we’re looking at the first five games favorited by @TomFulp.



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.




Well, with this issue published, my vacation from my day job starts now. I will finally have a chance to do some work on Newgrounds and enjoy the site for a while. I may even do another 24 hour challenge. First though, I have a date with Rex tonight to see Avatar: The Last Airbender in Concert. I’ve been looking forward to that for a while. Oh and my trip to the dentist went well. I have wisdom teeth coming in. Thankfully though I have enough room in my mouth for them to come in, so I’m not concerned with removing them at this time. Thank you all for reading! I will see you next week!

user of the day on clock day week is crazy

Getting into the tank tribune? Life goal accomplished.

somehow it's a big honor to be one of the featured composers in the tank tribune
even tho I started reading this at issue 104 lmao

lol.

@NatahDN thinking about it i should probably read them all just for symbolic purposes

i wonder if anybody tried to report B

wyyeyayhhhaahhh!! yeahh

@AlexToolStudio vegetables...

clock maxxing

yo WHAT? tysm for the shout-out ?❗

User of the week with Team Dead Deer! What an honor.

this is cool! Thank you for the mention :)

I'm unironically for "Fuck Deviantart" as Newgrounds' new slogan.

The resulting drama would pretty much absorb 90% of the talented artists that still dwell there into NG. 60% when they check us out to see what all the noise is about and 30% when they go to search for their lost brethren...

thanks for featuring me on the phonograph!

Wow, 2nd time on the tribune! Huge thanks!

Wow, I got in there

First time featured composer! :)

the dark mode site of the century

Thanks for the feature!
