Love how you did some techniques only employed by YouTube Poopers. Can't wait for the next one!

"Awesome!"

Lightly amusing and a great frame-by-frame job.

And Porcupine Tree rules. Extra points for using Piano Lessons as the credits!

"The awesome-est "Awesome" movie yet."

submission: Metal Gear Awesome 2

date: February 23, 2008

The first time I watched the original "Metal Gear Awesome", I thought "This is probably gonna suck". I was dead wrong. Immediately dead wrong.

Now I've just sat through my fourth run-through of "Metal Gear Awesome 2" and I still find it hilarious. Egoraptor, your comic art is brilliant. I couldn't stop laughing.

Score: 6

"An okay spriting tutorial."

submission: Sprite Tutorial V 2.0

date: August 10, 2007

Tutorials are nice to help beginners, but I must tell you that you are breaking apart your sprites incorrectly. By breaking them apart with Ctrl+B, you leave the background attached with the rest of the sprites, requiring extra work to cut the background out. Instead, go into Modify and select Trace Bitmap. Set the Color Threshold to "0", the Colors per Pixel to "1", in the first drop down menu select "Pixels" and in the second select "many Corners". This allows you to just select the background itself and delete without having to specifically cut out each individual piece.

Now, aside from that, it was a good tutorial, though I suggest adding additional music so that you have many options to choose from as well. :D

"A decent attempt"

submission: Ichigo Vs Zaraki

date: August 5, 2007

I'm a good fan of the anime (oh noes!1 >:( ), and I saw this episode a couple weeks back. You did a good job of simplifying the episode, but it's not enough justice done to make it a replacement. I thank you for using my music (and I disagree with anyone saying it's annoying unless they care to WRITE A REVIEW ON THE MUSIC (hint hint) -- highly disagree); I thought it worked well for the 'toon.

Just as a suggestion, you should give a higher frame-rate a shot.
Overall, a 6/10 and a 3/5.

"It's been a long time since I watched this, but..."

submission: Unforgotten Realms: Epi1

date: July 21, 2007

I still think this series is your greatest work. Trust me, funny little fad Flashes are okay sometimes, but look at the other fad Flashes around the Internet -- all the fads stop being funny after about the third of fourth iteration. For example, Phoenix Wrong was pretty good, but now it's starting to get old and annoying.

In any case, I watched this 'toon a little while after I learned how to be a DM, and the antics of the players had me in stitches. If you plan on ending UR, though, please end the series with a finale.

There's truly nothing better than something that never stops doing what it was made to do: make people laugh. And this Flash literally never stops.

"It's mothafuckin' pants for the win!!"

submission: Pants! - Episode 1

date: July 1, 2007

So I knew pants were bad-ass, but I've never seen scribbles fight over them!

Graphics - Scribbles that... glided. :D

Style - See above. But scribbles that annihilate each other for MY entertainment? That's awesome. :D

Sound - Interesting choices, and they all came in clear and perfect. :D

Violence - More Vitamin-V than you can shake a stick at.

Interactivity - The buttons were interesting as well. :D ( Unless it's a game, I never rate this very high. :/ )

Humor - C'mon! It's fuckin' pants, man! Who doesn't love pants?! :D

Overall - If you don't make more, I'll murder YOU for more pants. xD

"Dude, you've got an animating gift."

submission: A NuklearPowered Rhapsody

date: March 22, 2007

Especially considering this is your first Flash ever, I'm going to have to assume that you're already an animator/artist of some sort and decided to jump right into Flash animation. A very wise decision, if true.

Graphics: I loved the custom/edit FF sprites. Sprites are far from original, but they looked good and did the animation justice. A 7/10.

Style: I loved it. There's no way that you're not some kind of animator. All the movements were fluid and you have your own unique way of doing effects. Very useful. A 10/10.

Sound: I love Queen. I just wish it was a little louder. A 9/10.

Violence: None. A 0/10.

Interactivity: Not much, but it's not a game. I usually give this a score based on the number of clickables and their usefulness. A 2/10.

Humor: A Serious animation. A 0/10.

Overall: I highly enjoyed this piece. A great way to calm down after getting into an angry rage with a certain crew on Newgrounds ripping off a certain team of seasoned Flash artists. An 8/10.

All my fives are belong to you.

"A mockery at best."

submission: Decline of Video Gaming 4

date: March 21, 2007

Keep in mind, I've never been a fan of NG "clubs", but this is just plain pathetic.

Graphics: You have exactly 1 graphic, and it's not even yours. It has nothing to do with what you're obviously trying to parody. A 0/10.

Style: Or should I say lack thereof? I haven't a clue what in the world you "Clocks" made this for, nor do I know why it took 5 of you to make a preloader with a DS background. Another 0/10.

Sound: What sound? 0/10.

Violence: I feel violated just watching this. That's violence upon me. A 2/10.

Interactivity: Wow, the play button actually works, but it goes nowhere. Ineffective, but it was there. A 1/10.

Humor: Hahaha. Real funny. 0/10.

Overall: This preloader is crap. The idea behind it is crap. The fact that it passed through the Portal shows that people vote blindly without checking the author's name is appalling. I think there is something to be said about that. And it really took FIVE PEOPLE to make this?

It is impossible to parody someone's work with a black screen. Congratulations. You suck. If this movie [read here on out: utter filth] was a game, it wouldn't be worth watching the trailer for it, let alone renting it. This movie is a waste of what looks like the 5 minutes it took to make and the 5 minutes it took me to write and carefully word this review. A 0/10 and a 0/5.

P.S.: Go ahead and waste your "author's response" on this review. Your response will prove my point.
