// I Am a Passionate Flash Gamer (Gamma Bro’s)

By Josiah ⋅ March 13, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

You know what? I love flash games. Whatever my critic[s?] may say, I’ve been an avid “flash gamer” (if there is such a thing), for as long as I’ve been on the web.

Back in the day, Counter-Strike was up there next to breathing on my priority list. I literally had 24 hour gaming periods with some regularity, and was invited to compete as a sponsored player in China at the ripe and time-wasting age of 16.

But for all my “real” gaming addiction, I always found time for flash games here and there. I love the simplicity, the creativity, often the design, and just about everything else you can think of about ‘em.

Thanks to people and companies like my forced-mentor Daniel Mall (and the hot and sexy company he works for; Happy Cog), flash games have become more “mainstream” and much more organized with sites like Kongregate, the work of the aforeparenthesied(o.O) Cog of Felicty.

Now you can join an actual community to enjoy your games, instead of crawling the porn-laden corridors of obscure, horribly constructed humor sites with random games throughout. I love it. I tried something similar with Crapromedia back in 2004 with Carlitos and Cabeeb, but we let it slip through our fingers. Maybe some day we’ll bring it back, but until then, expect an assortment of games to be posted up here, and frequent posts about them.

Stick that in your pipe and smoke it, Manes.

Today’s contribution is GammaBro’s from the boyo’s at PiXelJAM. I love the stye of their games almost more than I can express with words. If you derive joy from their work (as I do), and want to see it continue, head over to their site and donate some funds.

  2. Well, I’m from the generation of Flash BULBS, so I guess I’ll have to investigate. I do remember being politely asked to leave home for more than one LAN party, though. Happy gaming:)

  3. wonderful. i chased links from your website for two and a half hours only to return to this dreadful time wasting flash game. It took me a full five minutes of accidentally tabbing through menus and launching random programs to figure out how to shoot…

  4. I love your use of links in this blog. I am sure your search engine cred will go through the roof after linking to so many random sites. Once again, you are on top of the flash game universe. Nerd!

  12. In case you’ve never played Ninja Training… best ninja game hands down. Got me through 3/4 of Web II with Ms. Abel (quite a misnomer if you as me).
