:spoilers for episode 3 down below, you’ve been warned:

I have been on ForumWarz since right around the beginning, on old emails that’ve since been hacked or lost. However with the absolute tidal wave of real world troubles that has only grown since Covid-19, I found myself wanting to return to this time capsule of internet ****ery. I was able to dredge up an old log in and finally get through episodes 2 and 3, almost everything worked, certain flash issues popped up but I’d been able to make it work. I bought some BP so I could shoot my wad with 69 forum visits and finally finish the story. I ground levels for the Sentrillion boss thread, and had my final sTalk with Shallow. Because Flash is retired and the final act requires flash10 I was unable to find a way to cirgreat timesvent the black box of death this time around.

I was initially so mad because I just wanted that end screen and to close the chapter on a multiyear journey. But, I think I’m okay with this ending to my play though. Is the writing a bit dated, sure. Some of the jokes don’t land like they once did, but I still enjoyed Shallow, I still enjoyed what was left. Knowing that my final act was to put the nail in the coffin of the entity that sent me on my way and taught me what I know; I’m okay letting Shallow slumber lost in in the depths of the net.

This post is meant as a bit of a eulogy since EvilTrout hasn’t posted since 2017 and the game seems to be getting rough around the edges. It is however 100% a thank you to the Staff for keeping this going for as long as it has and creating episodes 2-3. It’s been great, and don’t worry i’m gifting off the rest of my BP to someone at random.

Good news. As of now Flash is no longer required to play the game. I’ve converted all the flash bits to HTML 5 (Well, except for the The **** hit the Fan mini game, which was too complicated. In that case I added a flash emulator.)

Still updating this game after 15 years!!!
