In the dark mess that is commonly referred to as my mind I came to the conclusion that perhaps the best thing would be for me to open up myself and just let out my thoughts for the world to see, despite the "risk" that people might come across and read them. I wish I could make my news opt in.
Takeover Tuesday
Takeover Tuesday is the best way to discover new content. You get every kind of content curated to you. It's like having people retell a story to you that has touched them.
This movie is really gruesome, gory, violent. Beneath all of that is hidden an absolutely phenomenal and for me touching script. I don't think I would have seen it if not for takeover Tuesday.
This movie found it's way into my favourites, and I like to tell myself that not every movie can do that. I like to reserve my favourites, at least conceptually, to only the best of the best, what really evokes feeling for me.

This movie needs no introduction. I understand people claiming it's the best movie on newgrounds and I don't know how many times I watched it. From now on I wish to declare Mar 18 as "Cucumber Cucumber day" on newgrounds.
It's dangerous to be on newgrounds on Tuesdays, since it's so easy to swim too far out in the ocean of content on the site on takeover Tuesdays. I also find there's also a new kind of activity in my mind. I might encounter thoughts like: "this, or that, would be a good piece of media for takeover Tuesday".
Now what I don't like about takeover Tuesday is people "wasting" their takeover spot. And by wasting I mean: a movie that is already on the frontpage has no reason to get frontpaged again. It actually somehow evokes frustration in me to see people putting movies that are already on the frontpage. Another thing I don't like is people complaining about people promoting themselves (tee-hee).

I completely agree on what is said. Thanks to T.T. I could discover several gems that I ignored like the beautiful Field of Rapes that not only allowed me to learn new German words (I am studying the language) but it gave me so much to think and analyze in term of symbolism and because I know some elements of German culture, that Rapsfeld touched some cords in my mind.
I absolutely agree about not promoting stuff that is already frontpaged. This is why I try to boost less known stuff or beautiful stuff that would need more interaction. And as long as I am supporter I try to vary the typology of stuff to promote (next time I will promote an audio piece).
T.T. is a beautiful idea that is helping me to find rare gems or obscure gems.

Coincidentally a piece of audio was on my mind too.
