The iPad is epic win. Maybe I’ll finally answer my massive backlog of emails (sorry everyone who’s emailed me recently!).

10/07/2011 | 8:39 PMNot much else to say that hasn’t been said better elsewhere.
I really started creating digital content once I got my first Mac, a now ancient PowerBook G4 (clocked slower than my current phone, imagine that). I first got into Flash games by creating stopmotion animation, and I got into that because I enjoyed video editing, thanks to in no small part by Apple’s focus on media creation with iLife and FireWire (an utter God-sent during the time of DV cameras).
So here’s to (as The Onion playfully puts it) the last American who knew what the heck he was doing.

I’ve been adding all the engine refinements from ME2D back into FPA. Crazy how much better the game looks with character rotational smoothing. No more jitters, yay!
Fancy Pants Man now has 3 separate run cycles, want to add a whole bunch of different jumps too. I’m nuts. Got a lot of animating ahead of me. Good thing I love animating.

Here’s something that bugs me to no end. I am not Justin Long, you are not John Hodgeman.
Apple uses actors to represent their products, Mircrosoft defines their users by what products they buy. Huge difference there.

So when I’m not doing concept work for World 3, I’ve been playig Super Metroid. Never beat it before, so I figured I should buy it from the Wii VC and do just that. Amazing game. So, I’ve gotten a few emails and such asking about puzzle elements in FPA, nothing overpowering, but what would you guys think of some sort of level or character progression in World 3?

Hey guys, so I’m trying out a new sidebar thingy, something that would allow me to make smaller posts that don’t push down more important posts (like pictures of various pets on my shoulders).
What do you think of the idea? Is the site too thick now? Should I just sell my soul and finally get a twitter to place up here?

I see the iPad the same way I see the MacBook Air. I’d love to have the higher end MacBook Air with 128GB solid state but I’m definitely not spending all that money on it.
Future of computing: Yes.
Time for me to buy one: Not even close.
The main difference here is that for the same price you could get a 15 inch Macbook Pro with a 9 hour battery, DVD drive, and 500 gig HDD.
For the price of an iPad you can get… A 12 inch Dell with a 16 gig SSD that with a bad keyboard that can hardly browse the web?
so you admit that apples software is bad! “that can hardly browse the web”. honestly, there software is good but for cheaper you can get a better android tablet!
Well, i would not waste that money on that stupid thing… i can buy a NEW PC with that price….. anyway, another thing, it can only run one application at a time… even my stupid 3 year old phone can play a song while smsing… well, it still would be fun to use a large touch screen thing..
Nope, you can buy a whimpy, underpowered PC at that price. I can’t make Flash games on my iPad, I also can’t make Flash games on a 500 dollar netbook. Hell, my mouse is 1/5 the price of the pad. My Intuos was 3/5, the software I work with is far more.
You can’t try to convince me that there’s a reason for a 500 dollar, underpowered, cramped keyboarded netbook to exist, and in the same sentence put down a 500 dollar, extremely easy fun and intuitive to use, limited function, focused tablet. Sure they’re both little more than toys, but that’s because one is fun to use and the other is useless for serious work.
Contrary to popular belief, the iPhone has multitasking with most of the built in apps, iPod keeps playing unless the app kills it specifically. OS 4 does multitasking the same way Android does, so not like it would even really affect how most people use the phone, I can’t wait until it’s implemented so everyone stops complaining. Unless, of course, you’re awesome like me, and you jailbreak your phone and run anything however you want…
amen! go with android, you can have several apps running at the same time. you know I have a lot of friends that find iphones and ipods on the ground, that really says a lot about how crappy apple is.
hardware: good
software: that’s were they killed themselves
Apparently they are in high demand:

there stupid, they should have gone to frys and robbed android tablets.
@Brad I already have an iPhone 3gs os 4.0… the software in that is better than that of iPad… and, in the price of iPad, you can get a normal, so-so assembled computer, like my friend has…it has 1 gb graphics, 2tb hdd, 4 gb ram, and 5 fan cpu… core i5, asus motherboard… so on.. i only needed a powerful pc for animation….
I bought my phone yesterday..!!
my android tablets has the same ram as that computer!
@Brad “Course it doesn’t support Flash. Have you used Flash on a mobile device? It’s teh lawlz.”
For us naive little peons can you give your opinion on why Flash won’t work on mobile devices/iphone?
Thanks — Duron
my android has Adobe Flash Play 11.1 and iv’e played Rubble Trouble using it.
the problem is, that flash too often sucks.
umm excuse my language but i wish i was old enough to have a job and could get one then when im about 25 or older (exucse prhohantity and innaporopraite language that follows) i can have a chick over not need a steroe or anything taking up room (more places to have fun on >:)) and whip it out from the couch cousion and play some mood music XD and get right down to buisness easy peasy!
AWSOME
OH! You can win a free ipad by signing up at the softcity cafe by 2-20-11 for a free membership. There is a brand new article there about Fancy Pants Adventures (just this morning). Hope you enjoy it… look in “Home & Hobbies” and “Articles.” It will be at the top until a new article is published in that category. I don’t know if I can put a link here so everyone is on their own to find it.
the only reason for you to have an apple device oven and android device is that you have not made FPA for android. there’s so many more apps out for android than apple also, plus most are free and most that are not free are under 4 dollars, i’ve seen one app for android that’s over $ 3 and that was a need for speed game that sells for about $20 in stores for xbox.
