Hello First Years, Welcome to the BLOGOSPHERE!
I feel the following may thematically sum up your experience here:
That is, this is the beginning of your adventure time! (Click picture or hit the jump for video.)
Update: Behind most of the things I like there's a story about an interesting artist. Here is "Adventure Time's" creator's website.
I cannot stress how important it is to get your work showcased outside of the USC community. The IGF is the best way.
FIGHT ON!
(Also, I have chosen the shirtless man version of the IGF logo due to comical value. Sorry Erik!)
In case you never met me, or didn't take the time to get to know me, I'll let you know that my favorite thing of all time is Gurren Lagann:
Why do I love Gurren Lagann? Because it was the first time I saw someone put my spirit into a work of fiction.

This time a classic fun flash game, "Grow Game." I replayed this recently because of the narrative structure. You can play the game and watch an interesting story unfold in many different ways without feeling personally at fault for bad endings because the middle sections are completed by autonomous agents. The "AI" is simply an animation, but if it were procedurally controlled... well, its an interesting thought.
