First post on Newgrounds, huh? I'd always seen/heard of this site as a kid, you always knew the flash game you were about to play was going to be a banger when that NG logo showed up. I'd even visited the site a few times as a kid, though I never stayed for long. NG was blocked on my school's computers and I never really thought about visiting it on my own time, and like I said on the few times I did I didn't stick around, a decision I highly regret.
Because this place fuckin' rocks.
Here I am, looking at this cornerstone of internet history, an oasis of creativity and inspiration, and all I can do is smile. It's Newgrounds. I've always loved the vibe this place has, it's a place that encourages a mindset that breeds creativity and doesn't shun people for being weird, experimental, or edgy. The site radiates that carefree vibe from every pore, from the layout design to the naming of different site elements. It's just...awesome, man.
So how will I use NG? Will it just be a second platform to post my art? Or will it become more than that? I don't know, but I think I'm excited to find out.
