Yesterday I received a new animation from Steve Chris.

It's called 'Being Super Mario for a Week':

once again, very well done. I actually like this one more than the Dave one. Perhaps you should get into Flash animation.

Macromedia Flash is expensive ... the Macromedia website lists Flash MX 2004 as $499! Amazed

The upgrade is $199 ...

You may be able to find it cheaper on eBay (or maybe an older version like Flash 5 that would work almost as well). Or there is also the "educational discount" ... if you or someone you know who's willing to buy the software for you either is going to college/university or works as a teacher at a school/college/university:

Although it seems like its technically against the rules, if you can find a reseller thats willing to do it, it seems like many resellers will give you the educational prices as long as you can prove (student ID, etc) that you're in high school:

For example, CampusTech's requirements:

They sell full version Flash MX for $139:

Howdy y'all,

Thanx once again for all your kind time and support. I wuz actually kinda afraid of asking Jorit ta post my work again but he's one sweet dude... He actually APPRECIATED me for it. I bet a lot of you wanna see my work done in Flash, so Flash it is from now on. Only since I live in India and can't really afford 500 American bucks for it, I guess I'll do it int the uh...TRIAL version!

I think most of you guys may find this one a lot better than the Dave GIF.
(a bit more sentimental even)

Please send me your ideas to my email address laughinggames@yahoo.com

a few more movies ta look forward to

'The Day Dave came out to Play' (full version GIF) trust me it's AWESOME!

'Cheaters never lose...but don't REALLY win either do they?"(done in Flash hopefu4lly)

buh bye now...

Why would anyone want to buy Flash MX when you can get a trial version from a PC Magazine!! Malevolent

That's where your wrong. Here in Kanada, it's legal to fileshare under the circumstance that you do not upload. We can download all the software we wish.

For music, maybe. But for $500 software packs? IIRC, Warez is still illegal there. If not I cannot only imagine how many e-mails the ESA has sent spamming up Paul Martin's server...
