Tom's Hardware: The Great Controversy


I made a short flash video on Tom's Hardware, and who they support: Linux or Windows. It's funny, and both Linux and Windows supporters/fanatics will love this.

Turn on your speakers.

Watch it now! 1.1 MB Flash Video

The music is pointless and annoying, the animation is poor, there's almost no real content and it's not even funny.

Keep up the good work.

It's advertising your site isn't it?

Anyway, I couldn't view this. I'm using FF in Linux.

Edit: Ok, I had already downloaded the Flash plugin. It works now. Couldn't think why it didn't work the first time.

The music is from Tom's Hardware.
It's my first Flash Animation.

Thanks.

Music's ok.

But what's the point of the animation? You should have recorded some sort of commentary to it with your voice.

Maybe for a longer documentary or of a sort, but for a short video, I think it's better to have just music and text.
