Newgrounds

Newgrounds, the flash portal, long ago known for flash movies and games through the format of, .swf(shock wave flash). Newgrounds let user review a game, music, post, or movie. Some reviews can be helpful and some/most are ridiculous, mean, and unnecessary. Anyway, the reason why I show you Newgrounds is because they have some good games to play with you gamepad and joy2key, that if the mouse isn’t heavily relied. StarFire is a great game. In the past, Newgrounds undergo some chaos, but now, I don’t know whether it’s minimized or strengthen(I haven’t been there in a long time). So don’t get mad when seeing a flash movie you don’t like, or wasted time. Some bad flash(Turd Of The Week) are really funny, and the user are still yet mad out of nothing. You can learn a thing or two in Newgrounds I think. It’s a community so yeah, you’ll meet different people.

If you’ve found a game that you like on Newgrounds, there is a way you can save it on your hard drive, and play it with a bigger size on your monitor. If you use Fire Fox:

1. go to the page of your favorite game/movie
2. click play this game/movie or pop-up (if you have flashblock click the flash circle to let it run(if you don’t have flashblock, then move on)
3. right click anywhere on the page(except the flash portion, which is the game/movie, which will say “play” or “About adobe flash player”)
4. click on “Go to page info” or press “I”
5. go to Media
6. find a file that ends with “.swf” or if it’s found in the Embed type tag
7. and click save as…
8. hit enter
9. wait for the download to complete
10. you’ve download the flash, now, open a new window for firefox(ctrl and N or T)
11. don’t maximize it yet, drag and drop the .swf file into the empty space of the new window you just opened

And there you go! You can play it on a big window, now press maximize and have fun.

Ok, I just went to Newgrounds and saw some review. There are all still idiots in elementary school. Don’t bother saving them, they are doomed, save yourself. Other than user, it’s still great. If you find an abusive review go here, flag them, do it a lot, and you’ll get some ng prestige. TOTW have a lot of abusive reviews.
