THIS JUST IN: I am better than you...at least for today.

Thanks @G-Bot! 🍻

It was 18 years ago on this day that I stumbled home from a local 4th of July fireworks show and decided to actually sign up to be an actual presence on this funny website where Mario killed Koopas with a shotgun. Probably the only smart thing that 13-year-old me ever did.

Here's to my account now being old enough to buy lottery tickets and vote in the USA! 🎂

My NG account is now old enough to legally drive a car in the US. Beep beep.

Thanks to everyone on here (like @TomFulp and @The-Great-One) for making it a swell place to visit online! I appreciate you knuckleheads.

My Newgrounds account turned 15 today which means it's time for my NG Quinceañera.

Everyone is invited to attend the event. Just make sure to put on your prettiest pink dress and get ready to help me bust open fifteen piñatas.

Thanks as always to @TomFulp and the rest of the staff that continue to make this website what it is. Here's to the next 15 years!

Today marks the 14th birthday of my NG user account. It's crazy how time flies. I still vividly remember coming home late from some Independence Day festivities in 2006 and signing up on a whim because this place seemed pretty badass with its Mario sprite flash animations. I still feel the same way! Thanks for @TomFulp, @PsychoGoldfish, @Brentheman, @Liljim, and the rest of the NG team for keeping this place fresh and continuing to provide an artistic oasis in an increasingly corporate and boring internet.

I also reached level 60 since my last anniversary post. That's a lot of Newgrounds experience points to collect! I'm shocked I reached the top of that particular mountain. Now I'm focusing on reaching Supreme Commander in the B/P ranking system. Always another goal to strive for, right?

Finally, I won an Instagram contest last month and the prize was getting to hangout with the illustrious @BowlCutPug. Cool dude! You should be following his misadventures across all of your social media platforms. Just don't leave your food unattended around him.

I reached level 60 today on this website. That’s the highest you can go as far as voting EXP is concerned.

I started voting on this website in the summer of 2006, right before I started eighth grade. Following that, I got grounded from the internet for six months for creating a MySpace profile and not telling my parents about it (lol). Since I was ungrounded, I’ve voted as often as I can in an effort to make it to where I’m at now. I probably could have made it to level 60 a lot sooner than I did, but that’s what happens in a life where you go camping a lot.

So, yeah. I’ve been working at this for a while. Through the entirety of high school and college. Through the start of my career in radio. Voting on the art, games, movies, and music on NG has been a small but persistent part of my adult life. It’s kinda touching in a way how this website has always been here as my online home. I’m grateful to have it.

Now I guess it’s time to start blaming enough stuff to reach Supreme Commander.

I had the pleasure of joining my good friend @Luis on the @GroundsPatrol podcast last month. Luis had asked me to come down to the Philly area to help him connect with @WillKMR and make sure that the recording went smoothly. I was honored to do it since my day job is a radio producer/engineer so it was basically like getting to do my normal gig at the NG office! I even got to chime in a few times so that was really cool.

Listen to that episode below! Thank you to @TomFulp for graciously allowing us to use his space to do our thing.

My NG account is now old enough to sign up for a Newgrounds account.

Thanks for the laughs ya dorks!

I signed up for an NG account on this day in 2006. It’s been 12 years and I still don’t regret that decision. Love you guys.

I signed up for an NG account on this day in 2006. Happy to still be here. Let's see how much farther I can go!
