Really? I mean… it used to be such a collection of truly inspirational interactive works.
Now? Whoever jams in most After Effect videos and streaming content wins. The awards seem to go out on a strictly ‘these guys have won in the past, so lets give them more awards since they pay us’ basis.
The fact that FWA theater won an FWA is also a bit. Uhhh.
I’m not saying these sites are bad in any way, but theFWA does function a lot different now than it used to… We used to get sites that didn’t necessarily have a budget of 25.000$ but featured innovation and unique ideas. Now? More = better.
Completely agree. The FWA sucks. Maybe we should start posting more stuff in Kool Sites. Maybe even start tagging them in the title like “[Flash] Somesite.com”, “[CSS] Site2.net”, etc.
I usually look at CSS sites, but I remember when I was coding with Flash, I used FWA a lot.
Eh. If anyone else knows any good gallery sites, please post.
Yeah, the quality seems to have gone down a bit, which is a pity. :-/
That Hulk site gives me like 4FPS on my current computer, which is a few years old, but still. It’s always interesting to see how things perform on the many computers I end up using.
I actually like the hulk site, it runs super quick here, no load time issues, lots of hulk action - does that make me a bad person?
I would argue that the FWA far from sucks, there is a lot of really nice flash work that still appears there, granted things are a little different these days. And they didn’t award themselves an FWA, they just use their site to showcase another site of theirs.
