The (un)official Flash Escapist Flash Awards! (presented by Calumon) PLANNING PHASE!

[Jack and Calumon]

Now the Escapist is not just a gaming website. It is a website which I say represents most of the internet, and while that was the worst description of anything ever I'll just get on with it.

Flash Cartoons are things which are on the rise, and yet The Escapist (as far as my knowledge knows) does nothing for them. Therefore, I Catkid906, also known as Jack, shall, if people really want me to, conduct a Flash Game/Animation awards show! The Nominees will be the ones chosen by you, then the winner is chosen by you for different categories, like best song to a flash, best flash game, best flash series, and best flash character. This is open to suggestions and sort of a last minute thing I came up with and would be happy to organize this.

Calumon: Well, I can help him out! What do you say? Can we do the UFEFA?

EDIT

Calumon: I'm doing it! I'm arranging it! Yay!

Now, Now Calumon, we still have to arrange it.

Now I'm going to make it of the decade, since the timing is right and I'm not judging just from the paltry 2009 line up.

Now, Business is...
__________________________________________________________________________________________
CATEGORIES
Feel free to suggest Categories. Here are the few I've made and like.

Best Original Flash Cartoon

Best Unoriginal Flash Cartoon (Like say a cartoon based off Portal)

Best Flash Game

Best Character in Flash movie

Best Character in Flash Game

Best Music in anything Flash related.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
CATEGORIES GIVEN BY SOMEONE SUGGESTING (ALSO I CHOOSE THEM)

Best Art style (Both Flash game and Movie)

Most Intuitive Flash Game
__________________________________________________________________________________________
We might want a logo, and maybe what an award might look like, I'm going to take in suggestions. So Any ideas for Categories?

FURTHER EDIT!

Well Calumon has proposed a name change, since not every Movie would use Flash. Well then, we can keep the name for flash games, but you know what? Flash Games can wait. Seriously, the movies deserve the Attention right now. Escapist, Weebls Stuff, Newgrounds and Youtube have so many Animations we can use! There will be one for games, but for now... lets just stick to movies. It is alot of work anyway, especially for a person and their Digimon.

Calumon: So we need a new name. Well... guess what? We'll make a new Topic later once we have decided on a name. Feel free to suggest names, and if your name is chosen, you will be thanked. ^^ Now where's my salt?

 

[Ophiuchus]

Sure, only if you stop that god damn "calumon" gimmick. Christ does that ever make me want to punch you in the face. And i mean that in the nicest way possible.

Yeah, what is this Calumon thing? I'm seeing it all over the place and... confused.

EDIT: Oh, okay, it's the same person I saw in another thread. No less confused, but at least it's just one person.

 

[Nimbus]

I nominate "There She Is!". The whole series.

EDIT: Don't listen to those guys. Your Calumon is awesome.

 

[TheGameXXVII]

sounds like a good idea, i love flash games...minus Zynga, naturally.

is this where we say our nominations, or what?

 

[hazabaza1]

Hey, I'm Jack as well! Weird!

OT: I nominate Winterbells [http://www.ferryhalim.com/orisinal/g3/bells.htm] for being best flash thing ever.

EDIT:

I nominate Blockhead. Some of the funniest stuff I've seen on Newgrounds in years.


Well, I like it.

Was that a new one? I don't believe I've ever seen it before.

 

[Mr.Mattress]

I Nominate Doraeleous And Associates as the Best Escapist Cartoon and Doomsday Arcade as the Best Escapist Live Action Show. Oldest Award goes to ZP, Newest Show also to Doraeleous, and the Ultimate Winner... Probably Apocalypse Lane.

 

[One Seven One]

I nominate "There She Is!". The whole series.

EDIT: Don't listen to those guys. Your Calumon is awesome.

I second that.

I also nominate :The Game: and the 2112 co-op series.

 

[Irridium]

I Nominate Doraeleous And Associates as the Best Escapist Cartoon and Doomsday Arcade as the Best Escapist Live Action Show. Oldest Award goes to ZP, Newest Show also to Doraeleous, and the Ultimate Winner... Probably Apocalypse Lane.

This.

Doomsday Arcade = my favorite show on here and Doraeleous and Associates has suprised me quite a bit. Didn't expect to like it actually, glad to see I was wrong

 

[TheGameXXVII]

best flash game has to go to Portal: The Flash Game.

 

[TerranReaper]

best flash game has to go to Portal: The Flash Game.

This. Just because it's Portal. =P

Sure, only if you stop that god damn "calumon" gimmick. Christ does that ever make me want to punch you in the face. And i mean that in the nicest way possible.

EDIT: Yes listen to us, its not awesome...it really isnt.

Kill with fire! (Or pistol whipping it)

 

[DazZ.]

Best Flash cartoon ever made.

It automatically wins.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Well after dismissing the first comment and taking the second one with a pinch of salt, and the Mods aren't looking at me with such Scorn that my eyes are burning, I say... I'M DOING IT! Now... Just recommend me some Categories, some nominees later, then we can get started.

Calumon: I don't care what you say,
Give me a Woohoo, cos I'm here to stay!
Running round always smiling
Jack spends most his time filing.

[sup]I promise Calumon won't make a song like that. If Calumon DOES make a song, then it will be much better[/sup]

 

[Novania]

sounds like a good idea, i love flash games...minus Zynga, naturally.

is this where we say our nominations, or what?

I vote negative for Zynga. Sorry, just came off the Valve victory celebration thread

EDIT: My vote goes to "Slaughter the World" by Looking For Group i think

 

[Ophiuchus]

Well after dismissing the first comment and taking the second one with a pinch of salt,

What was there to take with a pinch of salt? I was asking a question (still unanswered, by the way), not making a statement.

 

[Big Max]

EDIT:
Woops, misread that a touch.

Some suggestions for Categories:
> Best art style.
> Most creative.
> Most intuitive.
> Most difficult?

Well I wanted a pinch of salt because my mouth felt like it was drowning. Salt is good for drying stuff!

Ah yes your question, the one which I've had thrown at me Numerous times to point where I'm sick of having to type it. Maybe I'll post the whole story one day. Depends whether or not I'm allowed, it isn't exactly discussion provoking telling a story.

Calumon: Salt is good on everything ^^

 

[Jack and Calumon]

You Have To Burn The Rope for Best Music in a flash game.

Link to game [http://www.kongregate.com/games/Mazapan/you-have-to-burn-the-rope]

Ark from Legendary Frog's Ark & Kerrigan for best character.

While yes those are nice, I am asking for Categories if anyone can think of any.

Awwww thanks for the love guys. However we don't animate in Flash we use After Effects so I don't think we qualify. Both programs are created by Adobe but AE is better for the speed we need to produce an episode in a week.

On topic, I'm a big fan of the Cyanide and Happiness shorts. This is one of my recent favorites.


Also, if you have a " The Most Fucked Up Cartoon Ever" category. It should go to this.

[TheDrunkNinja]

May I call you "Mr. Bauer"?

Also, I nominate "The Last Stand 2" for best flash game. The gritty, realistic art style, the awesome twist on fort defending gameplay, the perfect atmosphere of a zombie apocalypse--This game kicked so much ass and was on the top flash game lists for many different sites many, many months after it first came out.
