So I found Gaijin…

June 16, 2008

On Youtube, wasn’t that hard to find really but I didn’t want to leave my post all broken up for you guys. I’m still keeping that review up anyways, the video being on youtube does not change my mind, in fact if I were to review now I might deduct points for this lack of respect for their own animation. I checked out their site, no real news as to why they took down the Gaijin site, even they are linking to youtube. Probably just for cheaper video hosting, but that seems a little unprofessional to me.

Not much else to report, I finished one of 4 exams today, 2 tomorrow then one last one Wednesday morning. Hopefully will get together a better routine for the site maybe some exclusive features you know for the sake of making this site worth more than my petty word. Of course Metal Gear Solid 4 did score 10 on IGN and Gamespot so I might be busy playing that and World of Warcraft… In terms of Flash, if your bored and already seen Gaijin stick to the links to the right of the page, Newgrounds (beware of NSFW content) and my personal favourite FlashTV. Sadly though, FlashTV seems like a beta and incomplete. Never really brought this up before but now is a good time as any, FlashTV has the best quality Flash on the net yet it does not do itself any favours with its semi unfriendly user interface. I can’t link to individual Flash on the site because its all embedded. Minor blip though for lots of top quality entertainment. So check those sites in the mean time, peace.

Now I remember!

Uh-oh. The site slipped from my memory there for a while. Sadly while I was gone so did Gaijin, as an email has spurred me into taking action. I’m on the prowl to find Gaijin again and maybe I’ll have an upload right here. In the mean time, in my absence from the scene over the past few (lots) months it would appear theres been a boom in Flash over at www.newgrounds.com however, to clarify you have to be a fan of Tankmen and the Awesome series and some what of a Newgrounder to get the jokes.

Been playing World of Warcraft and my PS3 mostly, doing school work and I’ll have the summer off so I’m sure I’ll be bored lots so I can pay attention to the site again. Maybe I’ll even organize a daily routine of searching for news in the Flash scene, possibly blogging something good everyday. That being said, after this I may not blog for a few days or a week or two. Summer means lots of free time, so I’m sure I’ll want to get into the internet some. I’ve actually been fiddling around with a Flash game using tiles, like a primitive 2D super monkey ball, I’m working on levels and a level designer now and pretty much all the graphics but I doubt I’ll ever finish it. I just don’t like putting myself out there and then getting some attention and some doors open when I know I won’t go through them. Some previous work had been given a few sponsorship offers and I was well off with like 5 animations and 6 games going on in the works, awesome artwork and stuff… Glory days they were. In fact, I never brought it up here, but because I could never commit to making Flash I made this site, to sort of summarize different Flash from different sources for everyone, not just theĀ  popular stuff.

I’m just running my mouth now, off to look for Gaijin!
