There are often numerous questions posed about the Flash/Video Portal (i.e. what can be submitted; what should I do if something is stolen; what are good programs to use; etc.).
So basically I figured that I would provide a mini guide about the flash portal for beginners; most of this info is already outined in FAQ (but many people don't read it :C).
THE GUIDE:
Part 1: Making Flash/Games/Videos
* First off it's important to know that NewGrounds only only accepts movies in SWF format.
If you're an aspiring game/movie/flash designer and you want to learn what programs you should use, vist the Creators-Resources Page.
* Generally, most Authors include Flash Ads in their work to build revenue. If this interests you, then you should consider visiting the Flash Ads Page (if you encounter problems setting up Flash Ads, then you should contact the site admin psychogoldfish)
* Don't forget to also include NG-Pre-Loader (which adds a little finesse to your flash) :O :O :O
Part 2: Voting on Flash
* Voting on flash is a good way to let the Author know how he did; here is a quick pic-guide on how to vote on a flash (also known as gaining Experience) [pic provided by Malachy]
* It is strongly encouraged that you vote fairly on flash! The best way to keep out Junk Submissions is to give them blam points, your voting habits impact what enters and exits the Newgrounds' Portal. For a good read on how to have "Good Voting Habits", take a look at this thread.
Part 3: About Spam and How to reduce it
* Spam Submissions are generally frowned upon, but they are listed as an official category of submissions (so don't flag them unless they break one of the rules outlined in FAQ).
* Generally many of these Spam Authors create Spam in order to incite negative reviews from Portal Viewers. Usually Spammers do this so that they can flag the review as abusive (i.e. if someone left a "Rage Review" on a Hateful/Stupid Submission") or to just get a chuckle from a dumb comment.
In my opinion it's better to actually just give a junk Submission a blam point, rather than even give the Spam Artist attention by leaving a review. [Don't feed the trolls]
Part 4: Whistling/Flagging Stolen/Unsuitable/Malicious Submissions
* Submissions that you didn't make should not be uploaded (even if the alleged author gave you permission to upload it) : /
* If you're interested in learning how to identify flaggable submissions take a look at my previous guide(mainly because I'm not going to write out all this shit twice).
* If a Stolen/Malicious/Unsuitable Submission passes judgement you should send a portal mod or Wade a pm; here is a sample of how you should construct your pm [sample provided by Jolly].
* If you notice a "Submission Under Judgment" that you think is flaggable consider making a post about it on either Elite Guard Barracks' or Newgrounds' Police Departments'Thread.
Anyway, that's about all I can think of.
Suggestions, complaints, questions, and comments are welcome :P
TLDR: Hurray!

So how's your summer NG? Mine's going pretty good, I'm just trying to find some extra work/jobs (which is quite hard to do in this economy *ugh*). Other than that, I've just been doing some fishin' and hangin' with family (not the most exciting summer, but it's nice to have a break from college).

Who says the "Sonic the Hedgehog" franchise is dead? Sonic is a man of many talents and he will certainly kick ass in his next game (maybe).
Anyway, here's a video to get you excited. (I also included the original German version for those of us who can understand it :P).

Remember when Youtube used to host entertaining videos that made you crap your pants, I do. Lately, I haven't came across any good parodies, so I decided to take a stroll down memory lane and rewatch some of the best shit the internet has to offer.
Here are some of my favorites:

Breaking News Flash
OmGawd guys,
Arnold Swartznagger (our former Govenator) has been secretly having smex with Cleaning Ladies and Local Maids in order to raise an army of miny Arnolds, who will eventually plan a massive takeover and all of them will try and hold political office and be celebrities!!!!!
What should we do?!?!
This video represents the general publics' response to learning that Arnold had an affair.

I went down over to the beach with some friends and we picked up a few of these bad boys to broil up and eat (luckily we all chipped in on buyin' em or else this would've busted my balls). Did some fishing up there as well, but it sucked ass. All I caught was two of those flat sharks (think they call them "sand sharks"), needless to say I spent like an hour cleaning em' out only to get barely any meat (the meat I did get from those things tasted like shit).
So how's your summer goin', did you finally go on a date with that hot chick from work? :O
