So it's 11:59 PM on 8/16/2009 as I write this, so about 48 hours after the start of Clock Day '09. Let's take a look back at what happened this year.

Watching the Portal since 11:30 PM the night before, you would have never guessed it was Clock Day. There were none of the usual submissions late on the 14th to get in those extra two movies before the real festivities went on. In fact, almost no Clock related submissions were added late on the 14th

Fro Bagged the first submission of the day at 12:00 AM, with his movie Frodozers Vs. Clock Day. And the movies started flowing in at that point. And the Portal was being watched heavily by users. A submission stayed under judgment for around 10 minutes only!

Not long after midnight, StrawberryClock revealed to us the game he announced earlier in a news post titled "B: The Video Game". And he delivered!. Unfortunately, no daily award for the game, and currently it boasts and unimpressive score of 3.86. Nonetheless, it was nice to see our King participate.

As the night moved into the wee hours, things began to slow down, and threads surfaced on the BBS claiming that Clock Day submissions were getting blammed! But not to worry, all deleted submissions were either deleted by the author or by Wade. Speaking of Wade, he was hard at work deleting abusive and malicious content throughout the day. Thanks Wade!

Later, I had found one of my favorite, and in my opinion, most overrated clocks, ClamClock had submitted his movie "clam fights terrorists".

Throughout the day, there were highs and lows in terms of submissions, but unlike previous years there never seemed to be really a backup of under judgment submissions. Rather, just a modest trickle throughout the day.

I decided to submit my movie around midday. Stephen King's CLOCK is a clock version of IT by Stephen King. It's just the scene where Georgie dies. It didn't come out exactly as I had planned, seeing how I have absolutely no patience with Flash (especially CS4). Nonetheless, I'm happy with this submission.

By the end of Clock Day though, the largest influx of submissions could be seen. Ones wishing everyone a Happy Clock Day of course! In the end, many hundreds of submissions, some spam, some beautiful works of art.

As always, if you would like to request reviews of your Clock Day movies, please reply to this or send me a PM.

Here's to eight years!
