I've been keeping up a personal Diablo fansite for awhile now, and just posted v3.0 of the Flash iteration...

Check it out at: http://macdiablo2.da.ru/
(www.da.ru is a free redirect service. Actually, I just recently learned "da ru" meant "yes Russia." Oh well )

There aren't any intense animations so it should run fairly well on all newer Macs, and pretty much any PC (due to the horrid Mac Flash player). The MIDI is historical, and I do occasionally get "wow, I like that MIDI" emails, so don't tell me you don't like it

The folks over at the Flashkit boards are somewhat brutal, so I thought I'd post here first.
Be happy.

Personally, I like it.

One thing that bugs me though, the music. I didn't see it, and you should have an option to be able to turn it off. I hate going to a site while I'm listening to music and have the site's music played over it. Sorry for that but other than that, I like it.

Oh i remember something, what's the point of being able to drag the things around? I didn't understand what good that would do....

There's a link at the top to a version with no sound...
so that solves that problem

As for the dragging -- why not?
Be happy.

Oh dear god, the focus is on the FLASH, not the goddam centered images and link to the no-music site...

I have no problem with criticizm... just make it constructive! Example of what not to do:

POSTER: "Check out my Flash site."
REPLIER: "You suck at HTML."

It makes little to no sense. A way to fix that while still making the same point:

POSTER: "Check out my Flash site."
REPLIER: "Nice, but I think that a more complex HTML 'housing page' would improve the overall feel of the site."

Heck, even this:

POSTER: "Check out my Flash site."
REPLIER: "Good lord, you're the worst designer that has ever graced the planet! That's some pisspoor Flash and the worst goddam HTML I've seen since 1980! Work on yo' skillz!"

Understand? Geez...
Be happy.
