edit: despite doing better than most of the others, we got taken down from the FP, probably in an attempt to make them surpass us. which would be cool if the other non-game game got taken down too. it didn't. well, here's one for ya: sorry i'm not pretending to be a woman on the internet and stealing characters from other people to get attention from 40+ year old men lol
first of all, I just wanna say I'm sorry in advance.
okay, now that that's out of the way:
a couple of days ago I saw that flash forward was a thing & decided i wanna do a ripoff of nene's interactive suicide.
downloaded flash cs3 right away, installed it, and the moment i opened it a wave of nostalgia hit me.
i was suddenly a kid in middleschool, fucking around in software i don't understand, making dumb garbage & having a fucking blast doing it.
so, naturally, i shifted gears and decided to do a windows parody since i love winXP & flash windows parodies were my jam back in the day.
as soon as i decided that, a dangerous idea crossed my mind literally instantaneously:
make a "Flash" folder, and have old stuff inside.
so, i got to work:
dug through my newgrounds dump (oh man OOOOHHHH MAN DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED) & hit up two buddies who i go a long way back with ( @Krutches & @MihaP ) and made them do the same.
that first night, when the three of us were going through our dumps & sharing links to old stuff was absolutely surreal. i implore everyone to do the same.
i took a bunch of .swf files we shared with eachother that night (45 of them!!!!), decompiled them & started throwing them into a single, huge, file. ALL DONE USING MY AS2 SKILLS FROM BACK WHEN I WAS 12
flash did not like this.
i ended up increasing my page file to 600gb(!!!!!!) before i finally gave up on using CS3 & tried CS6 - which worked flawlessly - if only i hadn't thought of this literally just a few hours ago...
either way, whatever, it's a bunch of stuff, there's achievements, there's references to dated memes, there's edgy humor, it's all there - it's a genuine goddamn 2012 experience AND YOU BETTER LOVE IT
