Asandir's interviews with Newgrounds forum users

This week's interview features the user darkjam.

When did you find Newgrounds and why did you join? Why did you choose the username darkjam?

darkjam:

"I first heard about Newgrounds back in 2007 and about how it has all these cool flashes and games. At the time I was really into that sort of stuff and I still am, just not as much, anyway I went onto the site and watched a couple of animations, and played some games, I think I remember playing this one flash where Mario had a shotgun, I had a blast with that (hehehe blast, shotgun 2punny4u) I really liked the site and kept visiting daily up until mid 2009 when I stopped because I just lost interest, then I remembered the site last year and decided to make an account, which then led me to find out about the forums, my friend used to go onto the forums and said that in 06 and 07 things were really wild, it seems some people can't let go of that phase to me. The reason I chose the name darkjam is because one day I was playing on my PS3 and just saw somebody with that name and thought it was pretty cool, yeah I'm not very original."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Do you think that you changed over the time you were here, as user, or also in real life?

darkjam:

"Yes I do. Before I used to be completely blind and just follow the crowd, but now I have grown to develop my own opinions and not just back down in an argument because somebody has a good point, I counter act that and keep trying, I also have a better sense of humor thanks to probably 99% of the users here, who knew bacon could be so funny? I think that in real life my attitude towards life in general has also changed due to me learning and seeing other people's type of opinions and noticing them, even if some are completely idiotic."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Are there any other users that you like, and how do they affect you?

darkjam:

"I've always liked DrClay, Jester, BobbyBroccoli, Lionelion and Dean, I seem to really connect with them and they weren't dicks to me when I first responded to them or they to me. I think the way the affect me is that I can just relate to them really, talk about anything, games in particular. To be honest I'm not really sure how they affect me other than that I can relate to them and that they aren't dicks, they do help me out a lot though and I guess help build my confidence, or did when I first joined."

Are there any users that you would consider enemies or that you just don't like?

darkjam:

"Amaranthus is annoying, and so is Hydex3, they just bother me, I dunno what it is but they just do. Other than that I don't really hate anybody, the community is pretty good, sure there are people i have disagreements with, but who doesn't? It doesn't really make sense to not argue with someone and just go about your life without one little spat. It is just plain weird."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

What is your opinion about the forums? Is there one forum that you prefer?

darkjam:

"I always liked the forums, it's why I've stuck around for a year and hopefully much, much longer, it's a good place but it isn't exactly the type of place you want to get your questions about life answered, but the users will bring along their humor to the party, which makes it all the more fun. I always preferred the general over the others mainly because of all the variety of threads, from bacon, to favourite type of cheese, or to whether you would fap to in an internet cafe (yes I saw that once) even though I go on the video games forums more than general, I just prefer it because of all the previous reasons, it seems to link all the users together, no matter what forum you usually go on."

I guess that you have an opinion about the moderators of Newgrounds. Do you think that they do a great job or not?

darkjam:

"I think they do a good job, definitely. They are fair and I love it when they lock a thread with humor (too bad they never used that gif I requested for them to use :( ) however they can be unfair at times, for example: This one time I made a thread about brogres being better than bronies and it gets taken down, what's so bad about brogres? We are allowed to talk about bronies but not brogres, why the hell not? But in all fairness I was I screwing around and the Mod or Admin who deleted the thread probably knew that and used his/her head (come to think of it I've never seen or heard of a girl mod/admin/staff)."

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = 

Would you like to become a moderator on Newgrounds? If so, what kind of moderator?

darkjam:

"I wouldn't be like one of those beggers kissing up to Fulp's ass just to be one, but I wouldn't mind becoming one if I was given the opportunity. I would probably like to become a video game moderator because it is the forum that I go on a lot, although it is fairly dead when I see the user population for who is on, so I would probably go onto clubs or crews, I don't see a lot of mods on that place, maybe even a chat mod, I like to go onto the chat just to see all the interesting conversations people have about life, I once saw somebody talking about Chun Li eating her own legs O.o some strange stuff goes on in the chat my friend."

The redesign happened last year. Tell me what you think about it. What do you like and what is not so good?

darkjam:

"I don't remember much about the old redesign although from what I do remember they seem the same in my mind ,but my mind has a tendency to change things to suit my image. Personally I have no problem with it, the design looks more modern, the backgrounds look cool and funky and the fact that I can move stuff around such as the videos, games, art,is an awesome touch which I have never seen before on a website. I guess the only thing that is annoying is the ads before a game, video and the ad banner below the games, movies, audio, art, channels, community and shop NG tabs, but those are minor complaints which don't really affect me as much as people claim they do, besides if Tom has to put them up there, then let him do what he wants, so long as he doesn't sell NG then I'm fine with what he does. Unless he completely screws up the whole site."

You mentioned in one of your newsposts that you like the music genre Grunge. Can you tell us which Grunge artists you like the most?

darkjam:

"My favourite grunge band is probably Nirvana, mainly because they are the first I heard and their music is just really catchy. I remember first hearing one of their songs in like 2005, I think it was Smells Like Teen Spirit, or was it Heart Shaped Box? I dunno, but what I do know is that ever since I heard their songs I went on a mission to find out who they were, and when I did, their music did not disappoint me, I've been listening to it a shit ton and it never gets stale or old. It's too bad Cobain died, he produced some amazing music, hopefully somebody will pop up one day and be just as good as him."

I think you are a Spiderman fan. Tell me your opinion about the Spiderman movies and which villian you like the most.

darkjam:

"Boy you got that right, I freaking LOVE Spiderman, he's been my favourite fictional character since I was like 3 when I first saw the awesomness of the 1994 Spiderman cartoon. I've been reading his comics ever since 2002 and haven't stopped since. I personally think the movies are amazing (hey see what I did there? Amazing, AMZAZING SPIDERMAN? 2funny4u!) even Spiderman 3 has some good parts, looking back at it the Emo Parker scene is actually the highlight of the movie, it's so bad and embarrassing it's hilarious, Spiderman 1 will always be my favourite with Amazing Spiderman closely behind, then Spiderman 2 and Spiderman 3. My favourite villain from the series is and always will be the Green Goblin mainly because of his awesome costume. The way he behaves is awesome as well, to me he's like Spiderman's take on the Joker, but more green."

I know that you played The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. Looking back at this game, what was your favourite quest(line) and character? Did you get the Shivering Isles Add-on? If so, what is your opinion about it?

darkjam:

"I really enjoyed that game, I've had it since I got my PS3 and I still play it to this day. My favourite story line has to be the Knights of the Nine because it was the one storyline that finally encouraged me to explore the world and not just walk around cities. I never really had a favourite character but if I have to choose then probably Wilhelm the Worm because he jut looks and sounds like an idiot. I really wanted to get the Shivering Isles expansion but never got around to it because by the time it came out, I had completed Oblivion and was bored of it, I have been thinking about getting it though because of Sheogorath and his randomness."

You have a Nintendo 3DS. Talk about your favourite games for the 3DS.

darkjam:

"I don't really have a favourite game for the 3DS, I sadly haven't bought a lot of games for it mainly due to me getting it at a time when other games I wanted came out, then the Wii U, then Bioshock Infinite, then Injustice, then The Last of Us, then Grand Theft Auto 5, and next the PS4. I am hopefully going to get Pokemon X or Y for christmas and after that I will probably slowly build up my collection. Currently though my favourite 3DS game, if I have to choose, would be Kid Icarus uprising because of all it's fast paced action, the funny humor and my favourite thing in a video game: Breaking the fourth wall."

Every person has secrets. Can you tell one of yours or something else that we didn't know about you yet?

darkjam:

"Well to be honest I have no secrets right now, well I do, but I can't say those, they are EXTREMELY private, so sorry. Something you don't know about me is that I am an indian, not white like some people presume. I don't understand why people think, if they don't know what your skin colour is and you live in a country where it's primary language is english then you are automatically white, I mean could this be considered racist? I dunno but it's always bothered me and it gets real annoying."

What can we expect from you in the future, darkjam?

darkjam:

"Well I dunno to be honest. I came onto this site to watch all the cool flashes and play all the cool games, then talk and socialize with all the cool users on the forums, that's all I wanna do right now and in the future. I am learning flash though and might start making animations, which will probably suck, which is why I'm holding back on the idea but hey you never know. To fully answer this question, I will answer this question with another question. What do you want to see from me in the future?"
