I'm glad Line Rider is still around. I remember dicking around with it on school computers around '07.

Huge flash game classic. That's also about when Credit Suisse stocks started going down.

Do you know what it's called / how it works? I'd love to do a post-mortem Credit Suisse slide with some gloomy tunes. I did a quick search but couldn't figure it out.

The one I use is line rider advanced. There is a newer come called community edition which I haven't played around too much but there there is some nice updates. It works by going into the options and adding an mp3 that it'll convert. Next you press play in the game and it plays in sync with the rider. YouTube has plenty of tracks and tutorials

AMAZING. Is it compatible with the web version data? That way I'm sure I can hook everything up.

I don't think so, this is just a mod for the classic web version. In your case I think you'd have to edit the music over it

Lol I remember in 2007 our 11th grade English class had to make a group video of us reenacting a play. We had 12 angry men and the 4 of us took turns reading lines in the same seat and one of the guys edited it together. It was total shit. Two days later he shows up to class and we play the video to find that he inserted an 8 minute line rider clip at the beginning of the video. Teacher wasn't pleased, but the class, and specifically our group, found it hilarious.

Edit: after thinking about this some more, I remembered we were eating Popeyes during the entire video
