[Avoiding Blamnation (HNT)]

So true, so true....

....yet the same lazy bastards who flood the portal with crap will probably be too lazy to read and learn from your teachings!

But you have spoken so many people's thoughts accurately. Thank you. I enjoyed it...made me misty eyed.

JujubeLock responds:

I'm glad that you thoroughly enjoyed it. :D

[FF Lost ep.1]

Not bad....

....the thing that really caught my attention was the music at the beginning of the movie. I know I've heard that music before. What is it and where can I get it?

Everything else wasn't bad either. 3/5.

[Sticks in Reality 4]

Pretty Amusing...

I have several comments, most of them regarding filesize:

I watched all of this series and these can take a little while to load, even for my DSL. I would look into compressing them a little more (Check out 3vix.com for a good vid codec) or taking shortcuts where ever you can. You may already be doing this, but I'd suggest using still images when you're not moving and video when you are, you know, conserve that filespace.

Since you've got to keep the video clips short, and this is definitely a stick death movie, you might as well kick the action into high gear as soon as the movie begins. More action within a small amount of time.

I'm not a big fan of stick death movies just b/c usually it means I'm about to see some lazy work from some 12 year old who doesn't know shit about Flash. However, I really like what you've done incorporating the live action into the whole thing. You don't see a whole lot of that here on NG. There's so much opportunity for creativity here...it's pretty cool. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the next episode!

[Spy Vs Spy Ep.1]

Nice Job!

I always wanted to try something with Spy vs. Spy in Flash after seeing it on MadTV every now and then. Looks like you beat me to it! Yeah, I thought the Mountain Dew Commercial was pretty cool too.

It looks like you're trying to trace over the actual comic strips due to the narrowness of the Flash movie window. I understand what you did and that's cool, trying to keep the dimensions of everything just like the dimensions of the strip. I would suggest tracing the important elements like the Spies and their props and the thought balloons and everything and redoing the unimportant stuff, like the fence and sidewalk. Illustrate those yourself just so you can open up the Flash stage a little more.

Keep up the good work! It'd be nice to see a series of these!

good advice

[Your First Game Tutorial]

I like it!

Very well done. Usually I think these types of tutorials suck, but you added audio (which could be a little louder) that explains things on top of what you see on the screen. Everything was well organized and I also liked how you highlighted each chunk of text that you were currently addressing so that the user could follow along. One of the best user-made tutorials I've seen here. Good job. 3/5.

you crack me up, thanks though XD

[Computer Music]

A good start...

...yeah, just b/c this seems similar to that Windows Noises flash that did so well, small brained people think that it's never been done before or can never be done again without ripping it off. I liked this and would like to see it developed even further with more vid clips and way more sounds. I'm judging this a piece of music now, so you've got to fully compose a song for this to rate well. That doesn't mean that it has to be 5 min. long but interesting enough. Keep up the good work, it looks really interesting.

AntiClockClock responds:

Im a small brained person?

[StreetFighter ryu vs ryu]

One question:

Can you spell? My guess is no...

[TANG'D]

I thought I recognized your style!

You created "Rape Bus", didn't you?

*checks the list*

Yep, you sure did.

What can I say? Your shit scares me. It's somewhat disturbing for me. Admittedly, I voted pretty low for Rape Bus. However, I'm realizing that your work has more substance that I originally thought, so I'm protecting this. I would be curious to see what you would do if you decided to put together some full-length horror Flash movie or something.

Anyway, I DID protect this, but I still can't give it a higher score because the content is still lacking. But, you have made me sit up and take notice of you, and that's always good for artists!
