Checking in to say yes hello, we have survived yet another Madness Day here on Newgrounds. Two giant-sized streams over on twitch let us see a ton of cartoons and a huge chunk of the artwork, but the judges and I have so much to pour over and dig into. Last year we got the judgement turned around pretty quickly and I'm confident we can do that again this year. If you're interested in the stream's VOD; Zepumpkineater has archived it (and all other streams) over here.
I really, really thought that we'd see things settling down this year, but I was mistaken. I was sorely mistaken. I'll be delivering a final count of submissions once we have figured out how to distribute the prizes, but at a glance (and 16~ hours digging) tells me this is comparable to the last couple years.
I dropped MC12 the other day. There'll be a premiere over on my youtube this afternoon if you're interested in the festivities that surround those premiere timers. I'll be hanging around chat for that.
