Why does everyone hate 2A and not PRAYSTATION?
I notice that as soon as someone posts anything that has to do with 2A most get their panies in a bunch and start posting "hate" remarks and negative comments.
I also noticed that people tend to look at PRAYSTATION or WE WORK FOR THEM as the rockstars of flash. WHY? As soon as some one posts about PRAYSTATION, most jump up and down out of joy.
Why is everyone on their nuts and not 2A? Just curious. The way I see it, both do bad design at times. Both do good design at times. Both use flash about 90% of the time. Both have "experimental" flash. Both think they are the ROCK STARS of flash. Both set trends in design. And lets be real, a lot of you jock their styles and use them for your own.
So I just wanted to know why people hate 2A and not PRAYSTATION.
REACT!!!!
FRESH!

Maybe because everyone's a trend monkey...

I think because praystation has really inovated flash in most ways. he has managed to raise th bar when we were still using flash to spin orbs. 2A has not. 2A spins orbs.

I dont hate either, 2A doesn't inspire me at all, I have never understood why people rate it so much, I just dont find it interesting at all, its too boring to hate.
Josh Davis is a nice guy, he would always be happy to help you out and as far as I know he doesn't think he is a rockstar of flash - why should I hate him?

I don't hate anyone. And the term 'rockstar' for the web is kind of funny. After all, it is just the web.
Josh's thing for those Nike watches is one of the most innovative and complex things I've seen in a long time.
Give credit where it is due.

i don't hate either one, but the same. i'm no big fan of 2A. sure, if they offered me a job, then i would sing their praises and say they're the best in the world... wouldn't anybody else? but until they do... i can see the merit of their work but it's just not my style.
josh may be considered a rockstar by a lot of wannabees, but i hardly perceive that he thinks of himself that way. His work makes me see things in a new way more than 2A.
But I do think there are many many others who aren't nearly as famous and who do incredible stuff.

tusadre is correct.
as far as weworkforthem, mike cina gets my respect, while mike young is just a demo design jr.

i don't really respond to any of those studios. but personally, i think 2advance is the worst of them.
one should not place 2adv. and wddg in the same category.

remember praystation, is one man show, 2A is not.
JD came up with innovative ideas and techniques that we copied and ripped.
2A has nice transitions. havent seen not much innovteive programming until the the Barcardi Mix...
PS/JD is more of a artist that sells art work, 2A sells commericalized work. THey are both good in their own ways, its hard to compare each.

I think a lot of people like to declare their hatred so as to distract everyone from their erections.
ha ha ha

sauceruney, shouldn't you be in the 'Gays and Design' thread?
sorry...i was waiting to use that line...
- sauceruney0
Rementer - uhh... NO
I'm not afraid to admit that Praystation, 2A, Gmunk, etc... all give me massive wood, though.

Stop whining, kiddies....

Fuck 2advanced and their cocky crew

Ok, here's a lil praystation critique for a change.
I don't get that nike watch thing at all. It's pretty darn exraneous. It's like a tweaker project for the web.
From a usability standpoint 2A stuff always seems to run more smoothly. True it looks like blah though.
