Tuesday was our second Takeover Tuesday, where each Supporter has the option to feature one movie, game, art or audio.
We had another great turnout and unearthed some real gems! The star of the day was Rapid Hedgehog Cucumber 1, a movie from 2011 that dominated the Hot Item spot. This movie went from having nine reviews to 50, a nice success story from this new event!
The second most featured item was THAT AIN’T FALCO by @RudeJackArt, who previously storyboarded for Adult Swim.
Speaking of Adult Swim, LordSpew would like you to watch his Fisthead episodes! Your interest could help kick off a whole season for television.
@Jaime-R featured Clock Legends and it made me realize we didn’t have a Clock Day 2003 collection; we hadn’t started cataloging those until 2005. The Clock Day 2003 collection now exists, along with 2002 and 2004.
Participants in Takeover Tuesday may have noticed two enhancements this week: Artists now receive a notification if their work is featured and reactions to featured items will now show up in the notifications of the person who featured the item.
Thank you everyone who has helped make Takeover Tuesday a success so far and thank you for Supporting NG! We’re always in need of more Supporters, so consider giving Takeover Tuesday a shot and also consider a recurring subscription, vs a single month.
To put it in perspective, if ten people become $3 single month Supporters every Tuesday, after fees NG makes ~$100 per month. If instead ten people become $3 monthly subscription Supporters each week, by the end of one year NG is looking at a recurring ~$1,300 per month, which has a more tangible impact.
One last Supporter note - we're dealing with a bug this week where some Supporters are showing as not being Supporters. If this happens to you, PM me and I can fix your status.
Newgrounds Radio
@BrenthEMan has made multiple updates to NG Radio this year. Track selection is now considerably better and tracks won’t repeat if they’ve been played in the past four hours. If you’re trying to find a song you just heard, there’s now a list of recently played tracks. You can also ask Alexa to stream Newgrounds Radio, which is pretty cool!
You might also see NG Radio in the big box sometimes, when there are live podcasts like the recent SrPelo interview.
Halloween Spooktacular
Our Halloween Spooktacular is in progress and we’d love more sponsors to increase the prizes!
If you have the means and love Halloween, donate on our Supporter page and PM me a heads up you donated towards the Spooktacular. You can also specify which category.
Best of September
Our Best of September were announced on Monday and we now include winners and prizes for art and music.
That's all for today, thanks for reading!
Oh one more thing - the emoji reactions were updated to be scaled down less.
