2017 is not old. Normally, something is considered NewGrounds old after at least 12 years.


Yo, I'm M3tabble! or M3ta for short. I draw, write stories, but I mostly make games and stuff. I originally came to newgrounds because I wanted to know more about the site and wanted to become a part of the community, but funny thing is that i never actually ended up doing much of anything lol. Currently coming back to Newgrounds in support of the exclusive comic i've been working on, and I feel like This comic would help me in becoming more involved with Newgrounds so birght skies ahead!!


Welcome. Good luck with your comic.

Welcome back to NewGrounds. There have been so many great video game spoofs over the years. You can start with 8 bit Mario and work your way up.

Hi, I’m Taxman2A. I made my account in 2001, when I was in college. Next year my oldest son is going to college. That’s how friggin’ old I am. Happy to see NG still exists and is doing well.

@Alex-Arrow


Some form of shooter. Was thinking for a start, it would be a 2D 'side scrolling'/'platform' style (forgot if it has a name, run n gun?). It would also be team and class based.


(Someone did release an extension for Gdevelop to make old school 2.5D, like the first Doom and Wolfenstein. So, that might also be a possibility.)

I would say at least ten years to make something old on the internet. As time goes on, people seem to forget things faster.

PMs or forums doesn't matter to me all that much. I'm good with either.


I'm not too shabby. Got a job, food in the fridge, and a roof over my head so it can certainly be worse. I just recently got health insurance again so I need to schedule an appointment with my psychiatrist so I can get a refill of antidepressants. Nothing big or significant has been going on in my life though.


How've you been??? I hope you're doing well!

Hi Everyone, my name is NK2007, I discovered newgrounds for the first time around 2014-2015. because of flash games, after hearing a lot about the site, so I visited newgrounds and created NK2007 in August 2022 (of course, after my English improved so much, and after I learned how to create animations)


reason i discovered newgrounds in less words:Games made in Flash(because of loading screen with newgrounds logo)

I learned english after watching a DVD called "Disney Magic English"

After that i had the interest in english, my english got better in End of 2018, because my old english was Very Basic.

Newgrounds made my english Very important,because i was using english almost for nothing(only Just for my old animations).

Real life can eat up so many of your hours. Especially, a job.

Yeah. Especially when the majority of my days are: wake up, come to terms with the fact I have to go to work, eat, get ready for work, go to work, come home at like 11pm, then go to bed.


Are you going to try being more active?


I might. It depends on if I'm able to get some time in here or there to post a bit more. I miss being on here and I'm coming up on the 13th birthday of my account this June. I decided to give the ol BBS a look again because my younger brother sent me a YouTube playlist with Newgrounds stuff on it. I kinda.. ran into a video of Regret's on there, went into a whole thing with my brother about what happened, then decided to check out the In Memoriam page on here because I randomly remembered it, and ran into a new names that I recognized but didn't know had passed since I was last heavily active on here. So it's more of a "hey I'm checking in so everyone knows Viper is still kicking" and me wanting to be active on the site even if it's to a lesser extent than I used to be. Like I'm on here technically every day to accumulate XP but I'd like to post more often than the random milestone posts I make in the Wi/Ht Level Up thread.

Hey, all! I was late to the Newgrounds party, as I created my account in 2012. My adolescence and high school years were spent on AlbinoBlackSheep, though I sincerely wish I had bet on this race horse all along.


What's to say? I'm a writer & designer, involved with films and video games. My day job is as the narrative lead at Bright Star Studios, though I'm also using my own resources to develop my dream video game with a dedicated team now. After I clear a few more hurdles, I want to focus more on screenwriting and be a good father. In the time from opening my account to now, I've gotten married and have a son. Time flies.


I also want to engage with the Newgrounds community more and make up for the what I missed out on as a kid. I've been sharing some of my professional works lately, but I think it would be great for me to create artwork here for the sake of creating artwork. Joy goes a long way, which is why we're all gamers.

Time does fly. It also seems to go faster the older you get.
