Woah, one day I was so bored that I started playing flash games on my new notebook because it's not even powerful enough to play any decent graphical games.
After several minutes playing sidescrollers, base defense, stickman and zombie-killing games did I suddenly recall URBANPROPHET!
Probably you won't have any idea what I'm talking about.
You see, there's this indy flash maker from Quebec, Canada by the name of Urbanprophet who made this phenomenal hit flash game called Urbanslug.
A million users in just a month after its release, now that's something. It hooked so many users including Andrew and I! XD
He even establish a decent fan community website for his work at http://urbanprophet.com
Back in 2005, Andrew and I were constantly participating in countless of forum discussions, polls and suggestion threads. We were so in love with the concept of the game and we dreaded each version release. In fact, we were one of the first few who followed the site from the start.
As we watch the site expand in users, anticipated each version release - Urbanslug 2, Urbanslug 2.1, Urbanslug 2.2 and even got to play his side projects, a flash trading card game called Gekisen and a vietnam war game called Mud and Blood, things got boring for us.
We got tired of waiting for each game to come out. They usually took somewhere around four to six months and in late 2006, we grew up. Before we left the site for good, we "cracked".
We wanted to sign off with a bang. Years of hard-earned reputation as two of the top users at the site was gone in an instant. We abused the forum. We started a thread, claiming that his games suck and asked people to join our cause. Regrettably, call it childish as you may ;D, we used vulgarities and our accounts were banned in a short amount of time. If I recalled correctly, we had our IP address banned temporarily too XD
I'm surprised that he's still doing this after these years, so if you guys wanna try those flash games and see what I mean, click the link above.
