"Impressive"

submission: Megaman:Titanium Rhapsody

date: October 26, 2003

Not many people bother with sprite edits, but it makes films so, so, so much better -- like this one, for example. Though most sprite movies don't have much effort put into them, I can tell that some (Like this, or ROTMK) had a great deal of effort put in. Sprite edits allow for excellent customization. We actually get the impression that the Megaman cast is singing.

Might I add that Queen absolutely rocks, and Bohemian Rhapsody has to be one of their best three songs ever? Yes, I think I shall add that. Congrats!

Score: 5

"Better than the first!"

submission: Wade PLZ Ban!

date: October 26, 2003

I can definitely notice the improvements between PLZ ban 1 and PLZ ban 2. A much, much, much nicer game than the first. There are some ways you can improve it, if you would be interested in making future shooters...

Things improved from Wade PLZ ban 1 that I liked:
- Enemy variety
- More weapons
- A boss
- Faster gameplay
- Background details (IE: Meteors)
- Screen Size
- Music is a thousand times better.

The concept is good. Perhaps for the best effects, I would suggest...

~ using GIFs with transparency, or taking JPEGs and using trace bitmap, followed by removing the black borders. This way, black 'squares' won't surround everything, and as a result, many of the weapon shots will look better.

~ Enemies can fly all the way to the bottom of the screen, but you can't. This can be aggrivating for some gamers.

~ Maybe you should be able to shoot the windows projectiles Bill Gates shoots out before they hit you? They're a tad aggrivating.

Other than that, however, great game. Fun, novel, great stuff.

Score: 10

"I'm Awestruck"

submission: Cat Gang

date: October 24, 2003

You are an incredible animator! This was nothing short of pure genius -- Humor of a thousand varieties that made me laugh until my sides hurt (Satire, Slapstick, Absurdity -- you name it, it was probably in there. Amazing!), animation that was extremely, extremely well done, interesting plot, excellent characters -- even a preloader game! You do not see something of this calibur on Newgrounds every day. Excellent job -- well done!

Score: 6

"Looks alright."

submission: The Gay Or Straight Test

date: October 23, 2003

Not a bad concept per see. I was half-explecting something anti-gay, but I was surprised how you pulled that off. Good job there.

The thing that would improve this flash the most, in my opinion, is streaming the music. The filesize would be smaller, the music would be synchronized, and the music would stop at the end of the movie instead of continuing after the movie has ended.

One thing that could give the ending a better punch is -- and this is merely a suggestion -- replacing "Unadmittingly Gay" with the words "Totally In Denial!" ... then again, that's just me.

Not bad. If you have any questions about how to manipulate audio or graphics in flash, don't be afraid to pop into the "Flash" forum on Newgrounds. There are plenty of topics about audio, and plenty of people ready to answer questions.

I see potential! Good luck. ^_^

Score: 9

"Very interesting"

submission: Conqueror (Full)

date: October 22, 2003

You have an interesting and artistic way of visualizing warfare. Very, very nice piece, very dramatic. You had a strong use of lines in your images which was a very neat effect. As for the message, I agree that warfare is definitely something we should try to avoid if at all possible.

Interesting movie! Thank you for sharing!

Score: 10

"I couldn't stop laughing!"

submission: Shadow Govt. Puppet Show

date: October 22, 2003

Disaster Labs is, by far, the BEST! The graphics were amazing, the sound was clean-cut and halarious, and the style -- the humor! Why can't I give it 20 points? What are you doing reading this review! Watch it! Watch it! XD

Score: 8

"That was impressive!"

submission: Unfinished Stick Fight

date: October 21, 2003

Wow! That was amazing! To be honest, if this was complete, I can't find any reason why it wouldn't deserve a full-fledged 5. Nonetheless, it's apparent from what I've seen that you have great skills as an animator. It'd be good to see some more stuff from you! Nice work. 4/5 ^_^

Score: 7

"I was strangely amused. =)"

submission: Poop Man Part 1: The Cane

date: October 19, 2003

I was afraid this was going to die off, but I turned out to be wrong. This is actually a pretty good animation, and is definitely a step up from sticks.

The animation of the cane is surprisingly good! This probably should have left judgement with a green highlight, but people don't tend to watch things through before making descisions.

The sound effects were great, and the concept itself was amusing. Good job!

Score: 10

"That was sweet!"

submission: Battle for the Portal Pt4

date: October 18, 2003

Woah! That was just sweet... I loved everything about it. Excellent work -- excellent series! Congratulations on your success, and I cannot wait to see the high-quality movies without the compression! -- think you could stream them all together as one movie, also? I'm going to go and watch the episodes back to back to back to back now. Good work, congrats, and thank you!

Score: 6

"Nice..."

submission: Sun Chips Clock: Ep 2

date: October 12, 2003

"1 of the 3 I have made and have put on NG in the same night!"

... only to become aware of the portal's two flashes a day limit. ^_^:;;
Sorry, man.

If you stay up late, you can do one at 12:00 Eastern (11:00 Central, 10:00 Mountain, 9:00 Pacific)

As far as the actual movie goes -- Not bad, not bad at all. Might I suggest, in the future, speeding things up a tad? If the movie had a faster pace, people might find the end joke funnier (the first scene being better remembered.) This isn't bad by any means... there is room for improvement, but it's not bad. Good job -- I'll be on the lookout for the third episode tomorrow.
