[@flashpointarchive]

We are glad you enjoyed the archive! Our contributors work hard to maintain and make it the best it can be. It's been a great year for us, and this video just made it better!

[@Ironman1o1]

Thank you, and all archivests. Much of my teens was those damn things.

[@LGR]

Hey thanks for commenting! You all are doing such a great job and I'm so pleased that all of these titles are being preserved for the future. Truly inspiring work!

[@Desenrrollado]

I'm greatful for this project's existence. Macromedia and Flash were definitely my childhood.

[@Mr.Genesis]

Thank you so much for this project, i've always suggested it to my friends.

[@sa_exploder]

Just want to echo the sentiment, you all have done an amazing job with this archive. Thank you! Media preservation is important. That goes for ALL media, even “The Snow Runs Red” lol

[@MouseSkull]

8:58 !!! I remember Christmas Cat!! I was the person that curated that game for Flashpoint back in 2021! (which means uploading the game, adding the description, title, screenshot etc.) I'm super happy to see someone playing one of the 200 or so games I contributed to the archive! Though I'm not really active with the project nowadays, thank you for enjoying Flashpoint!

[@sinisterthoughts2896]

I appreciate that Clint is keeping the christmas lore alive on his channel, and it has become tradition for my family. For Christmas i marathon these videos with my family, and I just want to thank Clint for giving us something to share for the holiday.

[@LGR]

Glad to hear it, and happy holidays :)

[@Dragonfire511]

Thanks for the Ruffle shoutout! We've a long way to go still, but I'm proud of our progress so far :D

It's great that it works so well within a browser, keep up the solid work!

You keep Homestar Runner up and running and that means the world to me.

[@WingMaster562]

Ruffle is better than flashpoint

[@Bucking_Fastard]

This unscripted browsing of random christmas games is now my favourite holiday tradition.

[@LGR]

So many, many more libraries and storefronts to peruse too!

[@Rad_Dan]

“Can I kiss the grannies? Nope? Well, what’s the point?” That got a pretty hearty chuckle out of me

[@michaelg1915]

I mean you're not kissing grannies is it even a game then??

[@MrWolfSnack]

Clint is slowly devolving into Vinny from Vinesauce over his lust for grannies.

[@sutorippuwebmaster8783]

Keeping it old school with the LGR Christmas intro. I love it.

[@drakesterX]

It’s not Christmas until Florb Norp says: “Christmaaasss!”

Clint is truly a saint for taking care of his clone for all of these years. Many would have just given them to the pound or left them by an overpass, as is all too common, but it warms my heart to know that he has a good home

[@krum1987]

I actively work on this project! I'm so glad you enjoyed the games!

[@LGR]

Well awesome, it's a phenomenal archive!

[@CarletonTorpin]

I’ve literally laughed more in this videos’s first 60 seconds than in the whole of last weeks KZbin watching. “Christmas!!!”

[@jessica_glass]

that sucks. sorry to here that:( you might be stuck in an unfunny algorithm loop.

[@-taz-]

I was at a startup that made 30-40 Flash games. We had a team in India and another in Russia making them. I made 3 myself, including a Tetris port that I think was more playable than the official Tetris, because I programmed the keyboard more carefully to allow for all the special moves. Plus I did graphic reskins on a couple from overseas.

[@LGR]

Should check to see if they're backed up within Flashpoint. I'd bet they are!

[@krum1987]

If you would like to contribute any files you may have to the project, they have a discord, it would be very welcomed!!

[@-taz-]

I don't see them on Flashpoint. A couple of the other games I wrote were for holiday promos: Cupid Toss and Easter Egg Catch. I do have a box of most of my past hard drives I can search through. The most popular game on the whole site was MahJong. The graphics weren't great, so I did a new version with a pixel art tileset that I worked on really hard. Most customers were stay at home moms, it seems. (SplashSpot.) That was probably one of my most fun jobs. I also redesigned the site around the end of the year in 2003. It was so much work!

[@galahadortiz3258]

Clint's looking more and more like a contented grandpa with every passing christmas.

[@LGR]

Feeling like one, too!

[@Josh-vc2ul]

Let's hope he's not a grandpa in his 40s. While physically possible it's not recommended.

[@Yanki90]

All these years later, the Christmas Clone is still hysterical.

[@BeastOfSoda]

Just the thumbnail had me laughing like a maniac. I love seeing Clint's clone shenanigans.

[@TerminallyNerdy]

I want to be very clear that there is NEVER a skippable CLONE INTRO. The Christmas Clone is SACRED!

[@Chaos89P]

To even suggest the clone intro is skippable is ANATHEMA.

[@LastJungle]

Is it just me or does Clint’s sweater look super cozy

[@Warpath86x0]

This has been my favorite channel on KZbin since 2015 and will continue to be. Clint has become a celebrity for us nerds. The digital world and everything that goes with it, the hardware and the software it's all good. Keep rolling out the content on LGR because you never let us down with entertaining and informative videos God willing.

[@Punkthespian]

Great video as always, Clint. Super funny and nostalgic, and always keeps me coming back to this channel. I've been watching your videos for 13 years 😅 crazy how time flies 😳

[@LGR]

Well dang, thanks for sticking around!

[@joshm7769]

0:50 oh yes Jazz Jackrabbits Christmas theme always fills me with great memories. That game was so amazing back then, nice Christmas music and graphics. And it was free!

[@Roxor128]

Went with the planet Candion from Holiday Hare 1995, if you want to be specific.

[@joshm7769]

Those levels were the best, almost Jazz Jackrabbit 2 quality! ​@@Roxor128

[@Absquatula]

The way you read that line that "in the future Santa KIllED HImSeLf!?" was too damn funny cause it came out of nowhere.

[@RealBLAlley]

I love the kissing girl instructions written in Engrish, and that it turns out she's a succubus.

[@PastoKage]

Ah Flash Games, the begin of what we call today "indies". So many good memories, so many great and interesting games. Kuods to flashpoint crew, such an amazing project.

[@baiylee7873]

Flashpoint is such an amazing project. Thank you everyone who is involved.

[@retropuffer2986]

In the late 90s my office became obsessed with the Elf Bowling flash game.

[@Grim-bx3ox]

Clint it's not often I comment on your videos, but thank you so much for this. A lot of these games I played as a teen and child with my siblings I assumed were lost, and I have spent an afternoon reconnecting with a lot of them along with my siblings.

[@tithrandil]

Thank you for doing these videos every December. It has become part of my Holiday tradition.

[@BlackViperGX]

Love the soda opening intro, your old theme was a banger.

[@AB-Prince]

the christmas obsessed clone gets me every year

[@JonManProductions]

Flashpoint is a godsend for all of us who grew up on not only flash games, but everything else that was online and gaming and even the flash animations... ahhh the good ol days of funny Mario animations. Good times.

[@ianhasnochannel]

I was wondering when the Christmas Clone would be showing up again. Glad they're still around.

[@rhydiangalindo8939]

christmas clone shows up at christmas SHOCKING

[@dalehadley3283]

I wonder where the Christmas Clone goes when it isn't December? Is he cryogenically frozen somewhere or does he have his own spot in the house he hangs out in?

[@mizu_the_floatzel]

It wouldn't be LGR in December without the Christmas clone so yeah 😂😂

[@JoshuaJacobs83]

I think it's "Glad he's still around." The clone is a he not a they, I imagine.

[@FiXato]

they were showing quite a bit more than expected 😂

[@Joshmsu45]

Thanks for doing the Christmas videos. My wife and I have made it our annual tradition to watch the entire back catalog of Christmas LGR videos right before December in anticipation of new Christmas episodes.

[@coffee115]

Flash games are how i survived middle school. Aaaaand Java games.

For me it was Pogo's Java based web games

Flash and Shockwave Games for me.

[@ChristophMewes]

Of all the weird KZbin traditions in all the channels and around the year, Christmas Clint is truly my favorite. Warms my heart every year.

[@Cartoonman154]

Flashpoint really gives you a blast from the past.

[@strain42]

I can't really remember any Christmas specific flash games I played, but my favorite Flash games as a kid were the Cartoon Network "Cartoon Cartoon Summer Resort" series. It was 4 pretty small adventure games where you explored an island and collected different items to try and solve a problem. The whole series was made to advertise a bunch of pilots they were airing at the time, so none of the playable characters are from shows that ever properly existed. They were simple, but fun, little adventure games.

[@ravenravenraven]

Those run on Shockwave, actually! But they are basic enough where they definitely could have been made in Flash haha

[@tristikov]

LGR Christmas video is out, it's officially Christmas time! Always love seeing the classic intro again. Hope you have a Merry Flashmas and a Happy New Year, Clint!

[@STABxWEST]

The Christmas-y Flash game that always stuck with me was the snowball fight game SnowCraft. Good memories playing that one on the school computers.

[@CiscoRoo]

Now that’s a name I have not heard in a long time…a long time.

[@Patashu]

Is that the one that let you build snow fortifications or am I thinking of a totally different obscure game?

[@STABxWEST]

I don't think so. As I recall you just have a side and it's a mostly simple snowball fight game.@@Patashu

[@Patashu]

@@STABxWESTYeah, I looked up Snowcraft and I think I ALSO played this game. There's probably an endless abyss of christmas themed games (and just freeware games in general around the period) and it's difficult to re-find anything after you've lost it, haha.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

Merry Flashmas! And a Java New Year! I swear, the clone skits are priceless!

[@the-retro-center-espanol]

Flash was the beginning of my career as a developer, and I had completely forgotten about it. Thank you!

[@the-retro-center-espanol]

And now I was sad to have lost the source code of many projects.

[@NPC45100]

Thanks for introducing me to Flashpoint, LGR! 10 year old me would have *lost his mind* at the extent of their free library.

[@LGR]

My pleasure, it's such a conveniently-presented resource to have

[@koopakape]

I definitely hope you take another stab at this next year, a curated vid of you going thru the actual best / most well-known, memorable, or generally high quality Christmas flash games. Also big ups for letting me know Flash Archive exists!

[@MadeByChaz]

As a massive fan of yours, I can't believe of all things you ended up playing my 2012 Flash game Slay With Santa! This has absoloutely made my week, thank you so much and Merry Xmas!!

Every year I watch the Christmas reviews as part of my holiday tradition. It's great to see them continue

[@trooperj9152]

I'm so joyed to see Christmas Clone Clint every year! Awesome!

[@nobuddy8679]

This brings me back. Flash games were a vortex in my childhood that had disappeared from my memory until now. Fancy Pants Adventure was peak.

An LGR Christmas video is what my advent calendar counts down to

These episodes every year make me smile. Thank you very much.

[@boogiel3853]

😂 I was not expecting that intro. Thank you for smiles.

[@heyOpa]

every year i come back and watch your Christmas videos. its been apart of my Christmas each year for may years. God bless and thanks for the videos the rest of the year too :)

[@CynicPlacebo]

So glad to see someone else diving into Flashpoint Infinity Christmas games! It also has an amazing Halloween selection, just fyi 😀 Yeah, I drank from the firehose on these Flash Xmas games!

[@funnyunkle]

that time of year again! wow seems like 2023 was very fast! love this yearly series! thanks

[@Roanski]

I think we all know where Kojima got the inspiration for Death Stranding now. Shaggy does it again.

[@ebbenezer7325]

LGR, I love that you did this. Flash was my life as a kid. You should do flash games on your channel aswell!

[@JT-us1zm]

getting absolutely blasted at 8 am Friday morning watching Clint play crappy flash games

[@Warpath86x0]

Awesome Clint said lazy game reviews! These are my favorite videos on this channel because they remind me of the older lazy game reviews days. Merry Christmas May God Bless you all.

[@TeenieTinyTina]

I think the opening segment is the best one you've done so far. I tried to like, hold back from laughing and I couldn't lmao

[@OfAllTheNerve]

Legitimately the only thing I look forward to at Christmas is your Christmas content.

[@jansenart0]

I like how there were like half a dozen known total control explloits through Flash.

[@dragonicmicrophone6594]

A big thank you to the Flashpoint archive! I have many fond memories of playing the flash games on Cartoon Network's website back in the 90s, as well as one of the Spongebob Squarepants flash games on Nickelodeon's website. I think it was called Flip or Flop.

[@Pooky1991]

Gotta love how crazy some of these flash games could be.

[@little_forest]

The retro intro alone is already all I needed for christmas! :) I think the high time of my flash games era was 2007/2008 during my PhD.

[@MusicFromAnotherTime]

I can't wait for you to continue this clone storyline for the next 20 years only to have it end in a Fight Club situation.

[@TitanSix]

I truly appreciate the quality Christmas content. ‘Tis the season.

[@kaizarcantu8240]

I miss silly flash games. Spent god knows how many hours in Newgrounds, playing Mario Combat and Madness. Also, flash games in the Cartoon Network site were one of my first experiences in the Internet.

[@DarkChildXXVII]

The Yule-tide season wouldn't be the same without a visit from the LGR Christmas Clone. I love these videos. I get sooo excited every December when I see them in the queue! 😁🤩🎄⛄🎅

Love these videos! Not Christmas until LGR releases this video! Love the days of flash games.. had lots of fun.. Will give that FlashPoint a look for old time sake. Thanks Clint for a great video and have a Merry Christmas!

[@Chunes3]

My favorite Christmas flash game is Winterbells by Orisinal. Anyone else remember it? You're a bunny hopping on top of bells as they scroll down the screen and the bells get progressively smaller.

[@saranodyne705]

Yes, I love that game! Such a warm cozy game and the music is wonderful. Those bells do get tiny way up in the sky, and when the bunny missed it would fall alllll the way down and just thud softly against the snow. Orisinal had the most aesthetically pleasing games overall, thank you for reminding me. ;u;

[@husjon]

Wishing the entire LGR fanbase (including you Clint) a Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays 🎄

[@NezuChan]

I adored Achievement Unlocked and the sequel. I thought they were so creative and fun. I think I maybe got all of the achievements in the first one. I still remember those games and it's been years. I would love to go back and play them again some time.

[@NezuChan]

I found out there was even a third game that I never knew about. Now I really need to revisit them.

[@philnaumann]

Another amazing Christmas special, thank you LGR!

[@jacobsekela8691]

I nearly spit out my cereal laughing at the intro 😅 that was hilarious!

[@Mr.Genesis]

[@AfterBurnerTeirusu]

Didn't expect to see the Buu Klubben christmas websites on Flashpoint's file list. Gotta relive that mid 00s "nostalgia".

[@PFBM86]

Whoa dude this is nostalgia overload for me. I had the exact same experience with flash games as Clint growing up.

[@nathanbinns6345]

If you’re looking for more Christmas things to cover, a number of 90s games had Christmas Easter eggs (Christmas eggs?). Eg The Incredible Machine gave you some new Christmas themed gadgets when your system clock was on the 25th of December, I remember my brother and I discovered that by accident to our great joy once year. Are there enough things like that in old games to make a video out of it?

[@LGR]

Yeah I have a list of Christmas Eggs within games! DOS games in particular, there were a whole bunch that relied on the system clock to change things over into a holiday theme.

[@roberttalada5196]

Shenmue! :D

[@norkshit]

chilling on a brisk december 15th afternoon, opens youtube and sees that LGR has posted an absolute banger *god speed, you absolute legend*

[@Area3ProductionsAU]

"Can I kiss the grannies?" is not a question I thought I'd hear on LGR.

[@ramcrassh]

Something so perfect about this, from every part of the production quality to the remade throwback intro, to the creator edgelordey intro, to the 1 skipped frame showing that it's not just me having issues with the entropic properties of non-ECC RAM pushing 32GB

[@trippydrew8492]

Clone time is the best day of the year 😁

[@tahanneloc10]

YES!!!!!! It finally feels like Christmas now that LGR has put out his Christmas special. The last couple of weeks, I have caught myself saying to myself, "Christmaaaaaas"

[@Pepijnisdebom]

I feel warm fuulzzy christmas LGR vibes coursing through my body

[@chris030111]

Flash games were my childhood. Bubble Tanks and Bubble Tanks 2. Fancy Pants Man, Sonny, Raze 2, Clear Vision, There is Only One Level, Bloxorz, Raft Wars, Road of the Dead, Powder Game, Happy Wheels, Warfare 1917, Exit Path, Thing Thing Arena, Sierra 7, Gateway 1/2/3, Unreal Flash 3, plazma burst 2....SO MANY MORE

[@Dorelaxen]

Another well done Christmas episode. I always look forward to watching these as the weather turns cold and it gives us more time to play some classics and not so classic titles.

I want to watch this so bad because LGR Christmas videos are my favorite kind of comfy but I'm saving it for Christmas. Thanks, Clint! Merry Christmas!
