James Pangartica is a graphic designer and web developer. He is best known as the webmaster of Jamesland, a personal website that hosts original projects and an archive of online games.

Philosophy

On the About page of Jamesland, which was made to look like Wikipedia, James wrote a quote because he got tired with using third person writing style:

"Anything that isn't saved locally can disappear at any moment. In my spare time, I try to recover and preserve the things I remember from the good old days by getting them to work locally, and Jamesland is mostly a repository for sharing and better archiving them. Many of the games, videos, and other media here are things that either I or people I know experienced and have fond memories of. Then there are the titles I discover while searching for those old favorites. Every time I research a game and fill out the information for a page, I end up finding three or four more interesting titles that I want to add. It's basically a never-ending cycle right now, but I enjoy the challenge of getting some of the more complicated or broken media working again. There are non-intrusive ads on Jamesland to help offset hosting costs. I try to keep them as unobtrusive as possible because user experience matters to me. The goal isn't to make money. I'm mostly just trying to stop bleeding money. Of course, if it happens to cover a pack of mints once in a while, I won't complain."

Game development

James is the creator of several original games, including United States vs Canada, Jameaquarium, and James Fight. These works feature recurring characters such as Bo, Anqi, Harry, Jerry, and Mike (loser). His projects are characterized by a distinctive style that incorporates a mix of photographic elements, contextual humor, exaggerated audiovisual effects, and retro-inspired graphics.

Yu-ki

James has compiled a collection of Touhou parody Flash games created by Yu-ki. Jamesland is the first website to host online copies of titles such as Graveyard Trippers and Toriyoke, which were previously distributed only on physical CDs and had not been archived elsewhere.

James also restored Mainsweeper (まいんスイーパー). The copy from the Internet Archive would fail to load since the SWF file relied on links to the author's website (chibitami.net) for its images, and the game would fail to load without them. James recreated the missing images using available gameplay footage and modified the original SWF file to reference newly hosted resources, making the game playable again.

Gan Giau Long

Gan Giau Long (訐譙龍) is a Taiwanese character created by ch1.com.tw who became popular in the early 2000s. The character appears in a series of Flash animations known for their satirical humor. James has compiled the most comprehensive collection of the series that is still available on the public internet, with many of its works hosted in the Flash video section of Jamesland.

Because much of its content was behind a paywall, after the original website is now defunct, relatively few of the original files were preserved by public web archives or mirrored on other sites outside of Jamesland.

Web Restoration

James has also recovered original image assets associated with Dead Karl (倒吊男), as well as the reconstruction of his offline website to host the materials. Other projects include restorations of the Smoothie Operator game page originally hosted by PBS Kids, promotional websites for the Keroro Gunso (ケロロ軍曹) Nintendo DS games, and an earlier version of the Element Animation website along with its associated browser game.
