Crazy King's Gambit

Hey everyone, this was my first real over the board game in about 2 years. I've been getting back into chess and studying a lot and playing on here, but it felt nice to play some real games again. 

I  thought I'd post this one and ask for some help from some higher rated players on my thought process and why the endgame fell apart for me.

 



Hope you enjoyed the game and thanks for all the help!

Darn is the game link not working for others? Did I do something wrong in game editor?

Anybody have any clue what went wrong with my copying over from game editor?

All fixed!

5. NC3 is not the main move, because it allows nxp with the same d5 fork you saw later (and with white not having the clever counter that you played).  Black gets a nice position.  Better (and generally played) is 5. E5.  365Chess.com is an easy place to check openings if you dont have something better.

Yeah I noted that in my analysis, also It was an unfamiliar position in an OTB game, but thanks.
