For me, it's the seldom remembered gaming TV show PXG for the children's network Jetix.
Back in 2004, alongside a push for corporate alignment as Disney had bought the then established Fox Kids to then rebrand into the action-adventure brand Jetix, Jetix in the UK commissioned a little known show called PXG from the production company Prism Entertainment, whose staff previously worked on other gaming TV shows like Gamezville for Sky One and Lan Jam for CITV.
Unfortunately, because this show was relatively new and at this point, DVRs like Sky+ became more prevalent, Jetix hardly reran the show on it's schedules, and I know this cause I've checked many TRILT pages (TRILT is essentially an in-depth archive of schedules, most universities in the UK have access to it) to find PXG hardly mentioned nor really kept archived due to it.
Is the show good? Ehhhh, not really. It's pretty much a show you wouldn't be able to get away with now, especially with the stereotype of the host, Kentaro, but it's a good look if you're into the ways that TV tried to present gaming as a complement to TV, and it made sense for a channel like Jetix to have a show about it.
I have helped with the production of certain videos about the show, but one of them is from a guy who I fucking detest and wish him a very "career end" because he is such an arrogant prick. Besides that though, there's plenty of information about the show on the Lost Media Wiki, and I'm always on the eye out for any new found PXG media.
Super happy for MattPan, I'm so glad to see the project finally release, and my Newgrounds logo was used!
Can't wait for the next episode!
All the more reason for Xbox to go the way of Sega...
They're not making money on consoles anymore, the new ROG Xbox Ally is not priced favourably to consumers because obviously almost all of that cost isn't offset by the store like the Steam Deck is and Xbox are going multi-platform with their games.
So what's the point of everything being an Xbox when nothing is?
Scot here, and whilst we only had GameStop for a few years, GAME is just as worse as GameStop.
Tons of Funko Pops, toys that arguably don't belong in a "GAME" shop (i.e Barbie) and worse still, they've been closing stores left right and centre and now in most cities the only place you'll find them is in Sports Direct or House of Fraser.
Most of the time, whenever I've been in one of these stores, the selection of games was just as full as it was maybe a year or so ago. No one wants to buy anything at GAME anymore.
Basically a B-TEC Smyths. Or Toys R Us. You're better off going to CeX.
I miss you GameStation.
Completely fair decision, and I'm glad you're still able to go through with the "10 year assurance" method.
Still sucks to see laws like this go into fruition but sadly most of the public have started to accept it or go through dodgier websites for their fix. Or, y'know, Very Probably No ways. Who knows.
An alternative video sharing site Vanillo had to comply with these laws (not just in the UK but in some US states) and their response is to completely block UK and US access until there are means of which verification is possible without costing the sites millions. Steam's implementation is a bit scary though because the likelihood is that many adults will have to obtain credit cards not just for Steam but for other storefronts in the near future, if not in a scary means to verify their age.
Until there's a much better, affordable way to check ages (unlikely), the internet will soon just be limited to big tech and sites who run on donations like this site. Remember net neutrality?
Does seem pretty fun so far, but I do think we'll need to see what the full game will be like. I will say, it certainly has won me over and I'll definitely buy it and play it to see if it's something I'd enjoy.
Hey, how would you do mine?
Although I am not a frequent user of Newgrounds, I respect Tom's honesty and transparency in regards to this act.
In fact, because of Tom's response I felt it was necessary for me to toss a few quids over and show my support for a site like Newgrounds, since I respect the site and have always been in favour of creative freedom and expression. It's not every day that a site like NG, running on a loss, can really be honest and not resort to using measures that invade the privacy of it's userbase. However, not many sites will be as lucky, and I do remain hopeful that this act will at the very least be revised to not put a massive burden on smaller sites, if in extreme cases repealed.
It sucks to see the internet and certain hobbies constantly be at threat by puritans and moral policers, and the best way we can fight back is to use our voices and pressure these corporate entities and government MPs to stop controlling our media. I have hope that it will, because this sort of moral panic is not too dissimilar to other threats to the internet, such as SOPA and Article 13/17. Even if these things did or did not happen, they nullified to the point where the average user simply does not see them as a threat to their internet usage, but OSA is one threat that I can definitely see Labour revising heavily. It does not help that MPs are on TV, calling opposers "on the side of predators" and being pressured to say whether or not it's to monitor "adults", so this pressure is clearly working on them to at least acknowledge the sheer weight of their actions.
We'll get through this together. Until shit changes, Fuck Collective Shout, Fuck the Tories who brought this in and Fuck Labour for putting this into legislation while they're on recess.

HEY!
Ok, I apologise for a rushed description of Gaming Network. So basically, Gaming Network will be updated with new games and some old classics from the past. Yes, it's easy to find games you like from the homepage and the search bar, but there never has been a weekly gaming network on Newgrounds. I wanted to create a game website of my own, because well, I liked Flash games as a child, and wanted to show the world the best games that exist on this interwebs.

i dunno...
I started FL Gamestar* as a bunch of games that are awesome. Having more playlists of FL Gamestar* was kinda annoying to people who just want to play games in one playlist. That's why I have started Gaming Network.
Gaming Network includes loads of Newgrounds games every time you visit every day. That means this playlist will just be one playlist, and will be updated. Sure, I didn't get to the 1000 mark, but who cares? Some games will still exist, while others will be deleted. Sorry for leaving FL Gamestar* that fast.
Wow, this will be hard for people to understand...
I don't want to worry anyone who likes Flash games or movies, but what's happening soon is that all of the Flash things on NG will be converted to HTML5 (I hope...) so everyone needs to know this, but they are more worried about the Flash games and movies getting removed. Don't be. HTML5 will have more opportunities than what Flash did before. Please understand. Share this to your friends who like to watch and play Flash and hopefully they will realise that Flash is just getting replaced.
FL Gamestar* 4 is over, and a new format arises. Look for that when FL Gamestar* 5 launches soon.
So there's this game right, I was about to add it to my playlist but it doesn't seem to load. If the owner would like to reply to this thread, please figure out a way to fix it. If not, delete it.
FL Gamestar* 4 will be coming in the same time I post this. I also want to go to 1000 games before March and if I complete that, I will make a celebration post and highlight some of the best stuff on FL Gamestar*. Be ready for that!

Well it's your choice of going on that website. Most Kongregate games are on here.
There are now 200 games on FL Gamestar* and FL Gamestar* 2 (300 if you count the test playlist)
Just a quick reminder: NG Gamestar* is now FL Gamestar*, since calling it NG Gamestar* was kinda dumb. Also, the first playlist of FL Gamestar* is now the test playlist. FL Gamestar* also has gotten a change. The games are in order of the 5 star scores on NG. That means a lot of Newgrounds favourite games are now in Gamestar*. I hope you like this change.

The games have a Instruction and Information on them, which links to a malicious virus from the website he used to own.
EDIT: Maelstorm apparently changed his domain name to legacymaelstorm . com. I believe somebody has hacked into the old website and put inside a URL:Mal virus. I haven't checked the new website, because there might be a virus in it.
I was just playing about with my playlist FL Gamestar, and played the game on Newgrounds. I clicked the Instruction and Information and realised there is no page, so I played the game, but then Avast told me there was a virus in the pages not found.
I don't really know why I seem bored of doing Gamestar* but it could be that I seem really bored with the day schedule, so scrap the schedule and just add random games. I find it much quicker to find games on Newgrounds than searching for the game on other websites, so expect a new game EVERY DAY! It doesn't matter if it's on another website.

NOTE: I tried to add the games that are not on Newgrounds, but people are stupid and not add the games on GameFudge. But I will add similar games from Newgrounds onto NGFudge. There's not a loss there.

Some games from GameFudge are not on Newgrounds, so they have been sent to the heavens! And by that, I mean they have been added to my Game favourites. I realised people can't access the favourites, so I will rearrange the favourites every Friday, during Newgrounds games on Gamestar. All the games that are on GameFudge on Newgrounds will be added to a playlist called NGFudge.
I'm sorry for making another playlist but where the hell is a Pac Man clone that plays like Pac Man and is not a stupid, copycat which isn't technically Pac-Man! Something like Neaves! I want to add it to my other playlist!
