I sit at the table, looking at my school loaned Chromebook. Plazma Burst 2 is on the screen. I play a Paul308-base map, and while I play, something keeps bothering me. It is Flash Player leaving on December 31, 2020. I will give a little background on why I'm worried:
At my house, we have two computers. One of them is my dad's to use for coding, the second is the family computer(We aren't really allowed to play games on it). But, my brother, sister and I have three computers. These computers come from the school district, and every student has one. They are "only to be used for learning", and the district has a filter system. Very hard to bypass.
So, in 6th grade(Either September or October of 2018)someone showed me a link to a gaming website. I tapped it, and I was put into a world of games(The website got banned after). Most of the game were okay, but one day after I found the website, my finger slipped, and I pressed a game. It was Plazma Burst 2.
At first, I was a little skeptical of the game, but after playing the first level, I found out what a masterpiece it was. However, the game had so much lag, it was impossible to play the game. So, I did some research and I found out that I could play the game on the main website.
I doubted that I could get to the website with the filter system and all, but I managed to get it. I quickly saved the link, and I found out about Multiplayer.
2019 was an eventful year for me. I played the whole year as a Guest, finished all 42 levels, learned about Mingo1. At the same time, I was looking about how to make an account. The hardest part was the last one, with converting the letters into numbers.
So, a year passed until January of 2020. On January 13, I was depressed as my favorite website(Quora)got banned by the filter. So, I seeked revenge. I went back to the Plazma Burst 2 website, and was able to make an account. On January 14 2020, EOw was born.
I enjoyed most of 2020, and I held onto Plazma Burst 2, as COVID-19 raged on, losing a girl named Carly, and civil unrest about BLM. But, this game held onto me as well.
The day I found out about Flash Player leaving, I was shocked. Until the moment, I never really realized about how much Flash Player really kept PB2 going. I found out from Mingo1 that I needed to download the game, and that is where my story on PB2 may come to an end.
I may have evaded the school filter system for THREE years, but when it comes to downloading, I have lost. First of all, PB2 falls into "Game Sites" on the filter system, and there is no way I can download this. My parents wouldn't allow it.
My 190 friends, I want to say thank you for making 2020 a good year on PB2. I know some people won't miss me(The people that hate me are all idiots by the way), and I won't miss some other people(Also idiots), but I will miss my friends.
On December 31, 2020(The day Flash leaves), will be the last day on PB2. If I am somehow able to play the game without downloading it on January 1, 2021, I'll still play. But if I don't I want to say thank you to everyone who was nice to me here.
I think personally, I might be the most dedicated player here. That might seem like modest shit, but I speak the truth. I have played the game while evading filter systems, bans, and annoying kids.
So, thank you.
