"Excellent!"

submission: Diablo - Lord of Terror

date: September 11, 2006

Great to see other people playing with Blizzards game worlds! This flash is fantastic, great effects, absolutely amazing graphics - must've taken you forever for the tiniest bits of animation in places - but well worth it with this finished product. I especially liked their hands opening the seal, that was well done, as were them getting beaten around. I'll definately be watching the next one when you get it done. I read only a few of the other reviews and I see some of them are kinda 'great, but paladins don't usually use axes' etc. - ignore that shit, fuck I hate people. Don't let it sour what an accomplishment and stunning peice of flashery this is!

Score: 9

"Very good"

submission: Steve Irwin: Croc Heaven

date: September 5, 2006

I was hoping someone with some talent would do something, not just these pathetic slideshows thrown together in 4 minutes which aren't deserving! This was the kinda thing I was hoping for, so nicely done for doing it! That said it's kinda shallow, he was all about the environment and family and things too - it'd be really difficult to do a completely fitting effort though, so well done for getting the jist of something. Don't get me wrong, it's good and I'm glad you did it. I guess it's more the mourning of a celebrity with this, whereas I was thinking more, the death of a man - so it is fine, I'll amp my score up heh. What a great ramble.

Score: 9

"Nice!"

submission: Magnificent Chubbalope #4

date: September 5, 2006

I liked it, I think it was cute. I haven't seen any of the other episodes but I'll go check them out. My only suggestion for improvement is to use a kindof... panning shot at some point, so you know where all the characters are in relation to each other, and see the entire chubbalope at some point during the whole talking bit. It's a tiny thing and you obviously can work out where they are standing since it's constant - but your animation is so good the little finicky crap is the only things left to improve on with your series, assuming they're all this cool. Fantastic lip syncing too! Nicely done. Great unique style.

Score: 4

"Classy."

submission: Steve Irwin: A Good Man

date: September 5, 2006

As soon as you heard he died, you were thinking 'ooh ooh I could get a good score on a flash movie with that!' weren't you? Yea, I bet you were. The 3rd picture doesn't even look like it IS Steve - this isn't a tribute, it's a peice of shit. I agree, the man was a legend - but as you said, you never watched his show! I did, and this doesn't do anything except lament how disgraceful a vulture you are, trying to win popularity on the back of a successful mans death.

As far as flash goes, there's nothing in this anyway, so I feel my score is justified. Plus I really don't think that is Steve in the 3rd photo! I hope someone with some skill is taking the time to release a decent tribute in a few days.

Score: 9

"It's a well done peice"

submission: TANKMEN 1.5

date: August 17, 2006

Fart, poo, cock, titties, anus. The humour is pubescent and pretty sad, but it works wonders on the target audience here on NG, and you pull it together to make another fantastic wee movie - well done again! Keep it up, I look forward to watching episode three - though the humour may be low, it's a sad day when you can't enjoy a well animated joke about genetalia!

Score: 7

"Not a bad wee imitation"

submission: Madness Mini 4

date: July 3, 2006

The most glaring problem with this is pace - it's really slow and not so 'mad' as the krinkels originals are. Every dude to die is kinda... 'a big deal' and the only thing going on. The appeal of madness is the shear volume of deaths and things going on all at once. Your emulation of the style is excellent, the music correct and things - it's just the pace that separates this from the real deal. That and the lack of music in the middle - it might've been better to have had more of a battle with the last guy than just killing him straight away, built up a 'final battle' then he's dead just like that! Same with the other 'bosses'. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed most of it when there was music going, I just noticed the lack of pace and thought I should suggest it as a way to improve. Congratulations on the award!

Score: 9

"Anything with Office Space music does it for me!"

submission: TANKMEN

date: June 30, 2006

That was very good! Really nice laidback kind of going on. I liked how you cut between the two parties, nicely done. Some of the humour was a bit kinda lame, some of the gay thing - just because it's done to death really. Other parts were really good though - it felt very 'Team America' to me which gave it a nice feel. Fantastic execution of a fun idea, excellent work! There's very little for you to improve here - I would just suggest a little work on sound quality (tank sfx). You're an excellent animator.

Score: 7

"Very nice!"

submission: BM's: Road

date: June 21, 2006

Well, I enjoyed it. The music just stopped before the end for me which was a bugger, nothing like a silent flash movie to make you bored! However as far as random stuff goes it was quite enjoyable, nicely done. a year + after the fact, but who doesn't like seeing reviews of their old movies ?! heh.

Score: 7

"I really enjoyed the start of this!"

submission: Hilltop

date: June 19, 2006

I was without doubt putting it in my favourites, and then it went to pot and I seriously reconsidered - but I did it anyway since the start is so amusing. It's a real shame you did that with the end of it, this could've been frontpage material. However the start was great heh keep it up. Man it's such a waste! Loved the eyes and your style of mouths, and the colouring too - and the figures, I liked everything about the first bit.

Score: 8

"Well executed!"

submission: Blockhead: Episode 1

date: June 16, 2006

I haven't seen any of the other episodes, I'm loading ep2 at the moment, but you know - dialup. This is really quite amusing - it doesn't try and blow you away with graphics or anything, just entertain. And for that it gets a 4, but I don't think a stick figure will ever get a 5 out of me - but maybe later episodes are graphically more impressive - that's the only thing that's weak in this, graphics. The voicing is fantastic, quality is nice (too nice, attributing 1meg to the file size of this I would guess), but yes. You could feel the irritation in the 'inner self', which is a skill to create - well done!
