Best flash I've ever seen.

Its been a really long time since I've seen this.
Glad to see content like this still being posted.

Content like this makes me regret there will never be a "best of" or "top 100" or "most
influential" type of video series for these flashes made available on mainstream media
You just had to be there when it happened. And if you weren't, you'd never know any better.
Sometimes you can google this shit, but most often it only exists on some unlisted site not found
on your everyday search engine
Not to say that Vinnie is some obscure artist. But think of all those random flashes you saw on
someone's personal website, a site that's been down for eight plus years
How can you recover that memory? How can you ever try to parse your search words when they never
were searchable in the first place? How can you attempt to recover something truly lost to the
ages in world where nothing seems to ever be forgotten?

I found these gems again just the other day at work and was glad to see that Vinnie has updated
his comic series. Too bad the last update is from a year ago, but still, that's better than
nothing.

unfortunately a lot of modern web browsers won't let you save the flash itself, only a bookmark
to it
can't let you steal a flash, if the creator wants to take it down you aren't allowed to keep a
copy

If the browser can display it, you can save it. It's always been possible through temp files and
viewing source and in modern times, >>3395023 has made it trivial to download resources. If the
DOM inspector is too complicated, just use the browser's network activity monitor (usually also
in the F12 dev stuff) and look for a swf file in there, though you may have to reload the page.
If you want to archive, right now is probably when you want to do it. Luckily, very few sites and
flashes are completely dead and lost forever; most remain available elsewhere for now. eBaum's
World purged lots of flashes a long time ago, but they mostly hosted (stole) the kind of content
you're sure to find in many other places. Both swfchan and CliPal, for example, each have
everything you could have found on eBaum, and more. Then Newgrounds, deviantArt, Kongregate,
Albino Blacksheep and even StickPage are still up and still serve flashes. SheezyArt is dead and
probably took some stuff with it, but what's done is done. Most big independently published
animators like Homestar Runner and Eddsworld never went away (even though the original guy died
in the case of eddsworld, rip). Even LegendaryFrog is still around for some reason. Joe Cartoon
doesn't serve the swf files anymore, but those are easy to find elsewhere anyway.
Unless I'm missing the obvious, we lost flashes that were never posted outsite of SheezyArt or
small-time personal websites AND were never caught by Internet Archive, which is likely only a
tiny fraction of Flash content ever created.
This is for now, anyway. As retards like me who like Clickteam engine games (made in, e.g., Games
Factory or Multimedia Fusion) can tell you, once a product is dropped by a company, things that
depend on it start disappearing from the web real quick, even if those things still work. If you
want to archive anything, do it now. Of course, that won't bring the community back, but at least
you'll have mementos to go by.

Oh and Shockwave, and interactive QuickTime (that was a thing, albeit limited. Not sure what it
was called, though). Lots of content was permanently wiped out, but Flash has not suffered this
fate.
