STORYTIME!!!

Jim Mundane awoke from his daily slumber at 4:57:34.116 PM just as the sun was rising to the north on this warm December day. He poked his head out the moldy oversize banana peel that he had called home for the night to discover that the he was floating 31,415.926 feet above the ground. He wrenched himself free from the sticky gooey mess of the peel and struggled to the top of the banana to see who had done such a rude thing to his castle. Not much to his surprise he found the banana held by the neighborhood pack of flying raccoons. "YOU STUPID COONS!!!" he spat at the group at which they replied, "Chk! Chk! Grrrrrrrrrr, ack yap HSSSSS!!!" Enraged at such a derogatory comment to his mother, Jim picked up a pistol and box of bullets he found conveniently in a mass of mold and yelled "Take that!!" as he opened the box of bullets and started throwing them at the flying mongrels, who flinched an starting growling more loudly. Once his supply of bullets was depleted he took the pistol and started beating the paws of the raccoons until they released the decomposing flesh of the banana. As Jim fell with his re-conquered home he shot back at the pack "YEAH!! YOU KNOW WHO'S BOSS!!!" and shook his fist in an attempt to look menacing.

Flustered by such a rude awakening of the day Jim almost forgot that he was falling rapidly towards somewhat certain doom. He reached into his pocket and to his relief he found a candle, a spoon, and a thimble-full of corn oil. Jim quickly fashioned a jetpack from this conglomeration of objects and soon was hovering peacefully among the clouds. Saddened at the separation from his pristine living accommodations he realized that he had never slept in a better place. The disappointment of his loss was then met by the joy of getting his buttocks singed by his jetpack. With this invigorating blast he realized that his fuel would run out in precisely 5038.23957 kiloseconds unless he either landed or fashioned some more fuel using the candle, spoon, and thimble-full of corn oil, or using a device made from the candle, spoon, and thimble-full of corn oil.

Shockingly, Jim decided to land. Unfortunately, Jim's jetpack went out of control and he crashed into a pool full of gelatin at 341.435 picoliters per kilowatt-hour. Once Jim ate himself out of the pool and separated himself form his malfunctioning jetpack he found that the pool was not actually a pool of gelatin, but rather the cornea of a large disc shaped creature that measured 17.6 rods by 762,348,957.54 picas. More unbelievable than the sheer size of this creature was its infestation of walking-snakes. These were no ordinary walking-snakes, they were the kind that shoots acid spores that cause people to be more vulnerable to damage and lower their rate of fire. Not only that, they also make a high pitched grunting sound that causes people (and also some of the nearby snakes) to explode due to the high frequency. Normally you’d think that this killing of comrades would be detrimental to the species’ survival and contrary to evolution, but nevertheless this sound attack existed somehow. As the walking-snakes advanced, Jim remembered that there was one way to deter them: recite Shakespeare while doing back handsprings. Jim, however, did not do this; he merely ran to the edge of the giant creature and jumped off.

To be continued....

There is also a new anim in the submitted section and also in the animations section.

Update

There is a new submitted animation: "Gauntlet"

Also, I'm working on a platform type game. You can see a preview here: CLICK Originally I was making a Course game, but then I decided to make it Unknown-themed instead. Here are the controls:

Arrow keys: Move
Space: Jump

R: Reset

S: Shoot rope (you have to hold)

D/F: Retract/Extend Rope

The rope gun is rather buggy and too Course-like and will be left out of the final game, but it still is cool.

Redesign?

There's a short little anim up: Short 16. P.S.: It's short.

But the main question I wanted to ask is, should I redesign AEFlash? It's been 6-7 months since I redesigned an I grow weary of its current design. I would keep all the same pages, just change the layout, the way it looks and the way the site works. So, should I redesign this site? E-mail me your opinions or simply reply to this post.
