LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

Missed the TT? Because I definitely did. I spent the last 26 days of this 2023 giving the Triweekly a facelift. Redesigned it yet again. Fresh and new baby, for the 5th and not final time!

The sole Team Fortress 2 developer.

Here at Tankman Triweekly, we celebrate all the wonderful entries that got Daily 2nd because it'll increase our chances of finding something actually good. (them 5 second GIF loops get way too much attention)

We start the week off with @picrossin and @Gidzillo, who won Daily 2nd for their game Barvest: The Iconic Bug Harvest of 2005, the PS1-esque spider simulator must-play of 2023. #BARVESTSWEEP!!!

@Demonbloodpal shows off his OC Mey transforming and brings home a Daily 2nd with Mey transformation ✨

, a significant improvement from his last submission, a 1 second loop without sound. No wait, NG newcomer @HeyPelusa animated it. Go give them a warm welcome.

@WizardoFrank wins a Daily 2nd for their film Night of the Raveyard, a short spooky stop motion student film that's well worth checking out.

@adriendittrick wins a Daily 2nd for his game The Wizard Ran: Chapter 6. Check out the first 5 chapters beforehand.

@beeftacho, @Qubitive and @LATLSHAT win Daily 2nd for their movie KARATE.

@PFINNEY wins Daily 2nd for his movie grass, the latest and greatest in photorealism.

And to close the week off, @SQUiNKTV won Daily 2nd for their movie Doctor Spiderpus. An excellent 3D Spooderman (Spiderman's already taken.)

That's just for last week. This week starts off with @drluigi3760 winning Daily 2nd for his SNK parody Fatal Injury.

Funny enough, the Newgrounds name originated in 1991 when Tom Fulp created a Neo Geo fanzine called "New Ground", a fact that shall forever be repeated whenever any SNK content shows up here.

@Delfrig wins Daily 2nd for his movie 1, a continuation of his Alphabet series, this time introducing numbers.

Guess what else will be number 2.

@zipzip wins Daily 2nd for their movie Justin's Compilation. Seriously @P-Bot? Someone had to have necrobumped this.

And finally, @Peti wins Daily 2nd for their game Maple's Maid Service. Featuring art from @Bleak-Creep and @P-PAMda and music from @Dieswyx, @Quarl, @Levc. @Dry, and @ConnorGrail

Top 12 Name Changes of 2022

For this one-off special, we decide honor the NG creators and users who have changed their usernames from 2022 to today.

Sick of your old name? You too can change it once every 30 days like these folks have, by becoming a Supporter today.

@Graeme changed from Noodle in late 2022

Phobotech is now @Galneda

ayekerik is now @pollyanoid

The creator of Boxcar City Rush, @GENCE went through 2 name changes. First GENCER, then radioGENC, then GENCE

@Frosty also had two changes, from FrosstyArt to FrostyArt, then to Frosty.

@Gray was originally GrayNG, with NG meaning Newgrounds.

SevenSeize is still @DrSevenSeizeMD

Special mention for Olskoo aka @orbitz, the king of name changes. I can only remember what names he hadn't gone by.

What was your reason for changing your username?

FLASH PORTAL HISTORY

Today's Flash Portal History is yet another Mario cartoon. Legend of Miyamoto was the most popular submission submitted by Luis Logam, aka @Awkward-Squid, with over 1 million views, hitting the Triple Crown, and having its thumbnail used as the "Mario" Collection's icon. Unfortunately it was removed for using the Fatboy Slim song "Gangsta Trippin" in 2015.

But the story doesn't end there. In 2022, Legend of Miyamoto mysteriously reappeared on the Portal with a different song. Two newer NG users took it upon themselves to decompile the Flash file and add the new song in and even replace the hand-drawn text in the credits.

Legend of Miyamoto also received a "sequel" in 2009.

Other News

The latest news, past, present and future.

Jan 12: FNF co-creator @ninjamuffin99 is charged with graffitiing the office walls with M&Ms and is thus kicked out of the FNF development team, with this statement on Kickstarter:

"We have cut all ties with Cameron Taylor, aka ninjamuffin99

Development of Friday Night Funkin' will still continue

We will get to it as soon as we get those chocolate stains off our walls"

The Funkin' Crew.

Jan 16: A new Ruffle update just dropped, courtesy of the man who flipped your Minecraft cows upside down, aka Minecraft developer Dinnerbone. It supports WebGPU (whatever that is) and blend modes, which should increase the amount of pre-2013 Flash content supported from 90% to 92%.

Jan 19: "Weird Al" released a new music video for his 1999 classic Your Horoscope For Today. Animated by Augenblick Studios, fans are already making comparisons between this and the fan video Zekey made in 2006.

"The "official" video was just released and it urged me to come looking for this one. I haven't laid my eyes upon this iteration in over a decade at least. Truthfully, I still prefer it. It's snappy, fun, and matches the song well.

The official video is... well, very Gen Z friendly. Harmless, marshmallowy, cute, Youtube advertiser appropriate, and entirely forgettable. This one here, however, has stuck with me ever since I first saw it in 2006."

@CookieSkoon

Jan 25: @sirjeffofshort releases a new episode of SKETCHED, animated by @jthrash

Jeff accidentally posts an earlier episode in his announcement post. Don't believe us? We have the receipts.

Jan 26: @ThatJohnnyGuy and @VoicesByCorey launch the Audio Portal 20th Anniversary Collab.

Sorry @Wandaboy, no Wandaboys allowed, however they did let Wandaboy Joe Cleetus McBill Jr. in, so they can have one.

Notorious Batman villain Mr. Freeze is nominated NG Supporter of the Year for his heroic deed.

Jan 27: @OrganisedApeShape's Robot Pi Kickstarter ends with just over a day left to go and only $400 backed. This is your last chance.

Check out his other works here.

"I'll fund the damn thing myself out of pocket if this fails"

Cleetus McBill Sr.

Jan 28: @BoyPorcelain is set to delete his movie KEY-MAN! Teaser 1 in 2 days (also an honorable Paily Dick), the moment he releases the full movie. Archive it with the Wayback Machine and download while you still can!

EDIT: As of February 3rd 2023, the teaser is still up.

EDIT 2: AND IT'S GONE!

Mar 26: Flash Forward is (yet again) unable to decide on a stable deadline and thus has been pushed back to 2024.

Tankman Triweekly is 512 pixels short of a full PNG.
