Earlier quoted context omitted.

The correct term for what you refer to as "american dubstep" is actually Brostep. Dubstep was invented in Europe in the 90s and came out of the early techno scene. The shit these douches are making in California is completely unrelated.

I really hate to be a "genre pedant", but Dubstep is a descendant of garage, dub, drum and bass and a few other styles from the very late 90s early 00s in England. "Early techno" is Detroit in the 80s. If you're correcting someone on nomenclature please be more accurate, and if you're trolling, please be funnier.

You clearly don't hate to be a "genre pedant" :)

I hope this site brings a little boost back to the Flash world, especially with Stage3D and all of it's possibilities. Actionscript 3 was such an enjoyable language to code in, though I haven't been able to use it professionally in over a year due to demand; the extent of my 'interactive' work has been hacky, ill-performing CSS3 transforms, and WOW are they limited. It's been all JavaScript, all the time, and I do lo…

Creativity is still here. We have WebGL, canvas, CSS3, audio, mic, camera, in an environment that is evolving faster than Flash ever did. ES6 will bring js a bit closer to the formalism of AS3, though I don't mind it's current syntax lightness at all. There are many cool games and experiments being released every week.

I hit start and 90% of the time nothing happens. The other 10% of the time, Flash crashes. I'm using Chrome stable on Ubuntu 12.04. I have no extensions besides Adblock Plus. This is the only page I've encountered that crashes Flash on my computer.

I have the same setup and have had no issues. Do you have local storage on?

That's the most exciting black screen I've ever seen... I'm sure it was awesome when it worked.

Same here. Broken on Chrome on Windows 8. I don't know, I have a Mac next to me I can try. Don't really feel like trying the lottery. Maybe the site's just down and nothing would work. ;/

I just upvoted something done with flash on hn for the first time ever. The zelda 1 esque levels were sheer genius. I would actually dig playing an entire game with that perspective/style.

Out of curiosity have you played the Binding of Isaac? It's a zelda-esque game using short gameplay/permadeath + lots of random elements. Although may be windows only I don't recall.

works fine for me with the same setup

Hmmm, same setup and it didn't work for me in Chrome, only in Firefox. Did you install any special flash stuff? Any tips would be appreciated.

Binding is available in steam and is available for Mac as well.
