Oscars - Best Animated Short
This past Academy Awards, the movie Flow won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film and was nominated for Best International Feature Film. It was made entirely in Blender and took over five years to make. In the Shadow of the Cypress won the Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
Back in 2009, @TomFulp made an open challenge that anyone who submitted an animated short on Newgrounds that went on to win an Oscar would receive a prize of $10,000 from Newgrounds. If you’re interested in submitting your animation to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences then please comment on this issue of The Tank Tribune and I will update when submissions can be made.
TRMNL
TRMNL is an E-ink dashboard to help you stay focused on your work and life. There are multiple plug-ins to use for TRMNL and hackers are welcome to improve it more. It is wireless and has a 3 month battery and can be placed anywhere. Recently a Newgrounds plug-in was made by a TRMNL contributor. @TomFulp was offered a complimentary TRMNL which he took advantage of and it is displayed in the Newgrounds Office. Check out TRMNL and see if it’s right for your work and life.
Florida Meet-up?
@9Hammer is looking to see if anyone is interested in a Newgrounds Meet-Up in the state of Florida in the United States of America. There has been interest thrown around. There have been ideas tossed about, but nothing definite. If you’re in the Florida area and are interested in organizing such an event then post in the thread above.

Pixel Detective and Who is Guilty?
Since The Tank Tribune discussed a murder mystery radio drama last week, The Tank Tribune is showcasing two classic Detective games for Newgrounds members to play detective themselves. The first game entitled Pixel Detective is made by @ownnnwo and @TheOlga. The second game ownnnwo would work solo to make the second game entitled Who is Guilty?. They’re both fantastic games to enjoy this Sunday morning.
This week’s featured artist is @FunnyPlush. He’s been on the site since 2021. He’s had his own art thread here, Plush's Landfill, since 2023. He’s been a part of The Newgrounds Bug Collab. Check out his works below and follow his art thread!

SUPPORTER OF THE WEEK
@Aalasteir
This week we’re taking a look at someone who has been a part of The Tank Tribune for quite a while now. That’s definitely not on purpose, more because Aalasteir has been absolutely everywhere on Newgrounds. From podcasts, to collaborations, to being voted User of the Year, to everything in-between. It’s hard to turn and not find him somewhere.
QUOTES OF THE WEEK
“As we all know, Tom’s target audience are Horny British Robots.”
“But this is only a theory… A Music Theory!”
“I know I'm not a top, maybe I am a sideways”
“A Linux user and a vegan walk into a room - Which one tells you about it first?”
“Party at wegras, I'm doing ribs”
PIC OF THE WEEK
Takeover Tuesday is when Supporters can feature one item on the Frontpage from the Movie, Game, Audio, or Art Portals. Please note that Adult Rated entries will not be featured here in The Tank Tribune. We’re taking a look at the most popular entries from March 18th 2025. The Piss Ass Pilot (Uncensored) - The Piss Ass Gamer by @TPAGOfficial was the most featured item from the Movie Portal. The most featured game that wasn’t A Rated was Gappy’s Playground by @LeviRamirez and @TeraVex. The most featured audio was rap song u to deth by @ninjamuffin99, @Joe-Mega, @maxxjamez, @Shal, @Snackers, @Wandaboy, and @WAILER. With audio sampled from @KawaiSprite. Meiss Mayer | Leg Meme by @rosarjc was the most featured item from the Art Portal.
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 taking a look at games featured in this past Takeover Tuesday!
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.
Even though the format is new, I’m still getting used to it. I need to get back into The Interviewer and play catch up with Aalasteir at this point. Honestly, he’s the workhorse I used to be. Damn eternal youth these days. I am grateful to be back on Newgrounds doing what I love, just balancing work and life is stressful. Thank you for reading and I’ll see you next week.
