Roundup from an angry Flash-o-sphere morning

This news literally woke me up from my bed at 8 A.M. Well it might be much of an issue for existing developer but it’s certainly did hit every Flash developer’s crotch hard. Enjoy reading the thoughts and shouts below.

[Rant] My respond to “Can Flash be saved”

Can Flash Be Saved

As a fellow Flasher for almost…5 years (unofficially 12 years! First met Flash during their Flash 3 era), it absolutely boiled my blood just to read the thoughts on the blog post. I might be over-reacting, but it seems the trend crowrd now tend to over-hyping HTML5 like the goddess of their time and throwing shits on Flash like everything bad is made of them.

Read the heated discussion here.

And on a sidenote, a good move by the giant, Google.

Rejoice ladies!

I watched Avatar (again) 3D…

and I fell asleep half way through. Though I’m being really curious on how the movie would look like in 3D after watching it the first time.

It felt as if I’m watching it through a 100″ HDTV. The details are so surreal at times, until my eye can’t take the details anymore, and to a point, I feel asleep. Why you would ask? Perhaps I was too tired, perhaps I knew the storyline. But it surprised me that there isn’t any subtitle in the 3D cinemas, though there is the Papyrus-font translated Na’vi language. Now I wonder if it’s worth to pay the extra bucks to watch a movie in 3D?

It depends.

Why? This is because at most time when a movie, like this, are hard for you to differentiate if it’s 3D, when it isn’t filmed within a constrained space, like a hall or room, because I strongly felt I’m convinced it’s “real” when there’s a scene within a room/hall. I believed it would be another gimmick in 2010 that gets blown out of proportion and every director starts abusing it without knowing the purpose of doing it in 3D.

But there is one extra reason that can make you pay that much to go on a 3D cinema, when you doesn’t have a HDTV equipped LCD TV in your house. Yes, I can see the blisters and skins so clear in the movie that my eye was so tired to so focus on anything :P

Despite everyone condeming it on the storyline and everything else, I still like Avatar. It’s like childhood once again.
