Pontes the Bureacrat
Urichov
From 2004, Adam Phillips introduce us to one of Newgrounds most adorable and mischievous characters to ever grace the site. His name is Bitey. This would be the start of a series where we explore this mystical world of Brackenwood and see what trouble Bitey gets himself into.
"Brackenwood was originally about a character named Bingbong. It was the adventures of an idiot in a perfect world. It was a pretty thin concept and in an attempt to fatten up the story, I decided Bingbong needed a nemesis. For that role, I created a cruel trickster in the mould of Pan, the ancient Greek god of the wild. Before Bitey came along, Brackenwood had been years in development, but from memory the "Bitey of Brackenwood" movie itself only took a few weeks."

Was there a golden age in this forum
@curtainsjoe is wondering if things were different back then. Did we have a golden age in the forums? If you've been around this site, share your wisdom.
Did you get something new? Buy a present for a loved one for Mother's Day or Father's Day? Then show it off to Newgrounds!
A LOOK BACK AT THREADS OF THE PAST
Users shared some opinions that would not be popular by the general community. Whether they agreed with them or not doesn't matter, it was funny though!
The Newgrounds Tank Wall project
Back in 2009, @Elios had a large part of his wall and decided he was going to add the Newgrounds Tank Logo to it. This project blew out of proportion and then the members of Newgrounds started having their names added to the wall. Even though Elios doesn't live there anymore, the pictures serve as piece of Newgrounds history. Remember, there are always ways to contribute to Newgrounds.

The week can get people down sometimes. With all of the hustle and bustle and action packed drama that entails our lives, sometimes it's nice to just kickback and relax. Here are a few games to play to unwind on this Sunday Morning.
I am so happy that all of you enjoyed last week's issue. The third issue has already been in production. I haven't had this much fun writing in so long, it feels nice to mix things up a bit. I now have a Patreon set-up with Tiers that I'm working on for all of my different projects, so if you have any suggestions for what you might like to see please let me know, I'm still new to this. Thanks again for reading and I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
