Fuck Flash Games

Category: , By ChuckSeven1
I have been sitting here using StumbleUpon, yet again, for like the past two hours (I know sad, isn't it?). I want to write something new because it seems like it has been forever, but I can't seem to find or think of even the dumbest idea. Anyways, I feel like I need to post SOMETHING now, or else I will never get anything done tonight.

Well peoples, the most recent thing upon which I have stumbled is some sort of Mario remake thing. It reminds me of Super Mario World the most. It has 2D side-scrolling and whatnot, nothing overly noteworthy. This game reminded me of the good ole' days when I was little and could not only waste an entire day playing games like this, but I could actually have fun doing it the entire time. However, it is only amusing for a couple minutes after that initial nostalgia wears off.

As far as crappy free online games go, it is decent quality. Surprisingly it is actually a java applet(Speaking of applets I made one once, it was Pong. Maybe I will write about that next?) and not just another crappy flash game. Flash is just great for YouTube and other video things, but the plethora of poorly made retard flash games which infest the internet(Likely outnumbered only by pornography) fucking annoy the hell out of me. There is an utter lack of creativity or originality in all but like one out of a couple thousand games.

Actually, now that I think about it that is a great topic to discuss. This game further proves it. It is nothing more than a remake of a game that is really old and has already been remade atleast a few million times. Making a Mario type game takes no skill, originality, or any real sort of ability at all (and it's the same with all the remakes of those other games that are like beating a long dead horse).

I understand that some people just like to program and things like that, but they may be unable or just too lazy to do something challenging. I admit that remaking something or having an example is one of the best ways to learn. But that's all theyre good for, learing. Just because yuou make something does not mean you need to put it on the Internet. The vast majority of what I have written is or modded or whatever is total crap. It is totally pointless and uninteresting to anyone but me, and I realize that. I do it to do it, and once it is done I just disregard it.

The Internet is basically just one big waste of time, but it is supposed to be mildly entertaining at least if not either hilarious or interesting. These countless flash games made by people who like to waste their time wasting everyone elses time annoy the hell out of me. They get nothing from putting them all over the internet, and nobody else gets anything from the games either(Yes ads are also annoying and plastered over every-other inch of the Internet, but atleast the people who make the ads benefit from them and have a reason for wasting my time).

In my humble opinion if it doesn't make money, express something, tell something, or evoke hysterical laughter, it does not deserve to exist anywhere one the Internet. Taking that into consideration, these game are free, void of creativity or expression(almost always anyways), completely pointless, and nowhere near amusing. Therefore, they should not be on the Internet, and they definitely should not be there in such freaking huge and aggravating numbers.

If you haven't noticed, I am very annoyed right now. Sorry that this post became not much more than an angry rant than is not very informative, but it is somewhat amusing(Well, sometimes maybe?). As evident in my other posts, when I get annoyed I really get annoyed and I can really go on about whatever it is that is annoying me.

Anyways back to the Mario game, if you want to reminise then check this game out. It's uh... something to do anyways. In conclusion, I like to rant and I don't stay on topic very well, there are too many flash games, and I waste all my time on the Internet.

    The one thing that makes me mad when I see people playing flash games, ALL THE GAMES ARE THE EXACT SAME THING WITH DIFFERENT IMAGES. Seriously it's like no one has a new idea for gameplay, they all just want to make a fucking warcraft III maul ripoff or another sidescroller, OH I KNOW WHATS FUN, WHY DON'T WE CLICK ON THINGS A LOT, REPEATEDLY, THAT COUNTS AS A GAME RIGHT?

Something to say?
