Some of you might remember when a 3mb flash animation could pack in some 5 minutes of animation, with the more advanced ones even having chapter/scene selectors, which could also include clickable easter eggs and other kinds of interactions during the scenes.

      They do have Ruffle on their site (a bit slower to load IME, but functional) even for new animations (click on the HR icon, not the Youtube icon).

      There are the orginal .SWFs for that, disjointed in their own way. I wish they (or someone) would’ve merged things so the old menus actually worked, if not further like each file being a season.

      EDIT: they did make the games linked together on the website. And now I do see one of the main pages that links too, though the loading screens make it a bit cumbersome (it seems to be tweaked for Ruffle, or at least only the main page seems to work when the .SWF url is loaded in the standalone player …unless it just can’t do linked swfs).

      This reminds me that I need to bug my wife to touch up my Trogdor tattoo (she was a professional artist before the economy went tits up)

      I vaguely remember one of the animations had Homestar pouring soda in the ending screen. After a while (30s?) he’d comment on how it had a lot more soda than it looked. The closest equivalent is a post-credit gags, but it’s not the same thing
