Many folk like to know beforehand what is to be set on the table; but those who have laboured to prepare the feast like to keep their secret; for wonder makes the words of praise louder.

Two years already?!

Posted by SoulMaster71 - October 9th, 2009


As you can see from my sign-up date, today, October 9 2009, is my two-year anniversary on Newgrounds. Ah, and what an eventful two years it has been!

When I came, I liked watching Mario and Zelda parodies. Let's just say things changed, and I ended up bored with them.

When I came, I was a WWE addict. Immediately I was freed from addiction, and today is also the two-year anniversary of my cure.

When I came, I was at the depth of a crisis of faith. It took a bit longer to escape, in fact it was my one-year anniversary before I was completely back to my pre-crisis level of faith in God and society, but it happened.

Soon after I came, the moral order of Newgrounds looked simple: spam seemed bad, and anyone opposing it was good. Thanks to a particular now-inactive "spammer" of the time (and a number of his friends), I can see the gray and grey of the situation, and it looks now like the best way is to find the correct balance. It can't all be as clear-cut as Lord of the Rings or The Legend of Zelda, I guess.

Thanks mainly to Newgrounds (and a couple of experiences that can only be attributed to the supernatural), I am back to my old thought patterns that brought me success in the past, and the faith that I had before my wannabe rebellion years started in 2005.

But where do I go from now? Only time will tell. A history is never written down before it happens; neither can I say now what I will become tomorrow. But another two-year anniversary comes in less than a month, and maybe then you will know more of my plans. So until next time...
SoulMaster out!

Happy 2 years! :)

Thank you! But when's the next gaming bullshit rant coming out?

Monday, I've already got it prepared. :)

I'm anxious to see it. I always love reading those things.

Happy 2 years¡
I`ve been on newgrounds for five years but just recently made an account, shame because I would be higher ranked than you.
Props for your post, they´re insightful.

I made an account the first day I came here. I know, it's the exact opposite of a lot of others, but hey, I'm glad I did. And thanks for the compliment on my posts, I put a lot of work into some of them.
