Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash
Steve blogs again on Apple.com.
Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind.
HTML5 is my Arcade.
Who needs Flash?
Captain Forever now open to the public
The addictive Flash game I posted about a while ago (as a 1 time pay to play beta) is now open for everyone to enjoy for free. So if you’ve got a few spare moments today give it a try, I bet you’ll end-up playing longer than you first intended.
A new version of the game was also launched for paid supporters called Captain Successor. It features new ship parts and slightly tweaked/updated graphics, a nice update to the original game.
Captain Forever Project; a very fun Flash game. One of the games podcast I listen to RebelFM loves this little game, so I decided to check it out.
It’s a “closed beta” but if you pay a 1 time $15 fee to the developer via PayPal you get access to this game and all of his future games. The Captain Forever game will become free in the near future, and the dev plans to up his fee to $20 to get access to all his future beta projects. $15 / $20 is a bit steep, but it’s an addictive game and it’s cool to support the indie game developer.
Demo iPhone game Canabalt in any browser
Works on any browser that supports Flash. It’s a cool game with great music. I may actually buy it for my iPhone.
Nice musical dashboard! It’s a lot like the Tenori-on, only it’s free. (via robotindisguise)

Gaia Online MMORPG game (zOMG) beta
Apparently it’s now open to anyone with a Gaia account.
First off let me say that I’m not a big fan of Gaia Online, there are too many members (it’s like chaos trying to keep-up with it) and it’s got a lot of immature kids too… Maybe I’m just too old? The appeal of saving virtual gold to pimp your avatar with virtual clothing gets old after a while too.
That being said it’s quite impressive what they’ve done with the site, and now integrating their avatar system with a free to play Flash based browser MMORPG. I’ve played a few minutes in the first area and it’s cute, and not half bad for a free to play game. It’s got all the basics of your standard MMORPG. I don’t know how large the world is at this point, but it may turn-out to be a nice casual MMORPG alternative to World of Warcraft. If I’d actually put any real extended amount of time into it is another question.
