Flash
Adobe Flash - previously called Shockwave Flash and Macromedia Flash - is a set of multimedia technologies developed and distributed by Adobe Systems and earlier by Macromedia. Since its introduction in 1996, Flash technology has become a popular method for adding animation and interactivity to web pages; Flash is commonly used to create animation, advertisements, various web page components, to integrate video into web pages, and more recently, to develop rich Internet applications. Flash can manipulate vector and raster graphics and supports bi-directional streaming of audio and video. It contains a scripting language called ActionScript. It is available in most common web browsers and some mobile phones and other electronic devices (using Flash Lite). Several software products, systems, and devices are able to create or display Flash, including the Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe Flash Professional multimedia authoring program used to create content for the Adobe Engagement Platform, such as web applications, games and movies, and content for mobile phones and other embedded devices. Files in the SWF format, traditionally called "Flash movies" or "Flash games", usually have a .swf file extension and may be an object of a web page, strictly "played" in a standalone Flash Player, or incorporated into a Projector, a self-executing Flash movie (with the .exe extension in Microsoft Windows). Flash Video (FLV) files have a .flv file extension and are used from within .swf files.
Flash Countdown Clock

GlaDOS Chatbot
An attempt at creating a chatbot artificial intelligence that mimics the responses from the game Portal. This attempt has been created in the Flash multimedia format. Its intelligence engine appears to use a very strict pattern matching system, and will return 'critical error' when it does not understand. The AI is also case sensitive, which again limits its abilities.
Zero Punctuation
Zero Punctuation is a weekly video-review column by Croshaw produced for The Escapist. In it, Croshaw reviews a recent game or games, using his rapid-fire speech delivery, analogously followed by a minimalistic cartoon mirroring what has been said. Croshaw more often than not provides highly critical reviews of games, usually focusing on a game's obvious faults and comparing them to praised older titles - he also noted that "No one likes it when I'm being nice to a game" (after his positive Psychonauts review), and "I know it's not very funny to love a game", on a rare occasion, when he "couldn't think of any criticism for Portal". His style can be considered similar to that of the British TV critic Charlie Brooker. The reviews led to a four hundred percent increase in the Escapist's traffic.
