Web Review: Newgrounds Dot Com

DISCLAIMER: This article is intended for mature audiences.
If you have ever played flash games in your browser, you have probably heard of Newgrounds. It is a website that was started as a media sharing platform for end-users around the world. In the beginning, it was a great place to share artworks and fun little mini games that even children could play. Now, it is home to some of the nastiest smut on the internet.
I can honestly say that it was a childhood favorite, even after I found out about the adult media on the website. Contradictory, I know. Weird even. Children do not know what links they are or are not allowed to click on on the internet. Even better yet most children are told not to do those kinds of things. I can’t say that I wasn’t, but I can say that I wasn’t able to do such things. It is unfortunate, but true. I knew better. So did the adult looking after me at the time.
Many of the flash games that you can find on this website were original. They may not have been exclusive to Newgrounds, per se. Original nonetheless. Many were a hot spot of controversy and pop culture. You could play games featuring Nyan Cat as well as many celebrities and more infamous characters around the world.
