"Nice Work"

submission: Wallet VS. Pico

date: August 23, 2008

I thought this was done very well, although I'm not too keen on the Naruto references, lol, the Dragonball ones are bareable. The graphics are pretty decent in this which is good to see, no problems with the animation, the colours where good although one of the backgrounds you drew with this was kind of empty in a way, lol.

The ending I thought was pretty good, some of the fighting animation also seemed a little off. It was a pretty amusing ending, though the cutting in half was kind of eh, still pretty nice. I would work on the menu though if I where you, it seems like you just slaped a load of images on and a play button, lol, make it look neater. Otherwise, good work overall :)

"Alright"

submission: Jim and Pals Shorts: Ep 7

date: August 12, 2008

Personally, I'm not too keen on this one to be honest, I mean it is okay but there are a few things I would have rather seen in this, I would have found it much funnier if he started to chew through the gum. I know that would also be kind of disgusting, lol, but it would have amused me personally which is all I'm thinking of here.

The ending is also kind of bleh to me, I was expecting him to crash into something or someone, like one of the girls who has appeared in some of your other flash, that might have been a bit more amusing. Those are just my ideas anyway, this is okay and the timing of the ending is good, so nice work on that, also you have the hand joke in this again, which is clever to see, just don't over use it.

"Lol"

submission: Tom & the Afro-Ninja Sigs

date: August 7, 2008

That's actually pretty amusing, the sig creation at the start of this on the preloader was a good idea for those who want one. Though I am a little disappointed by the lack of letters you allow, it only goes up to 5 on the first set so I couldn't put "Little" in it, raise it to 6, lol. Anyway, the designs on that where good although lacked pink hair.

The preloader dress up thing aside, the actual flash was also pretty good, although I'm not keen on how you didn't give them teeth in the mouth movement, I really think that would have looked better. The graphics and animation to this are pretty good as well as some amusing jokes to this, some not so funny to me but eh. The voice acting and audio was done very well here, good work overall.

"Okay"

submission: Newgrounds: A History

date: August 5, 2008

Not really anything special in terms of looks of this, I think it would have been much better if you had used screenshots of the year you where talking about insted of using a modern one, kind of gives the wrong impression, also I would say that you missed out the part of the major redesign in 2007 which was a huge part of Newgrounds.

There is so much more information you could put into this, a lot that is left out I think, quite a lot has happend on the site. As well as Ross leaving again this year, so yeah, missing quite a bit. But some decent info there and the narration was good, just need to improve on the visual content and add a bit more history, even catagorise it if you could.

"Alright"

submission: Abusive Review Guide 2

date: July 30, 2008

I still think this is somewhat lacking though, I don't know I mean you have plenty of information and it's good to see you are talking about whistling submissions and how to. Still not too keen on all the text though and the red font doesn't work too well with the orange background. The audio is fine, which is great to have and all, as well as a mute button.

You added a quiz to this which is good but one major problem with this is that the questions aren't based on the information in the flash. I would suggest basing questions on the content of the flash, but it's good the way it seems to have been done with a try again method. Although still somewhat simple, a scoring system and such would be decent.

Not sure what more you could really add to this, a more entertaining way to present the main information would be a decent idea. I mean the quiz is a simple way to get information across but surly you can think of some clever way to get the main talking parts across. Try some wacky animation some time with some way of bringing points in.

"Okay"

submission: Abusive Review Guide

date: July 28, 2008

You have quite a bit of information in this, which is good and everything to help people judge what is an abusive review and then work out what isn't, it's just a shame this is all text, for myself I find chunks of text hard to read after a while. I would suggest throwing some images in there, even just a background image or design, just to give something else to look at while reading.

The audio was fine, no problems with that, but a mute button would have been good to have. The buttons worked fine going back and forth between pages, so again, nothing wrong with that. The actual content was decent enough to get an idea, though one other thing you could do is expand on the examples, like giving real examples as oppose to a brife summary.

I would also suggest putting a game in this, like a short little quiz or something, just to see if the viewer has lernt anything from it as well as giving them something else to do after reading. But that's entirly your choice, maybe you'll use those in future if you do another.

"Okay"

submission: Hay Wars

date: July 25, 2008

It seems to be kind of odd in a way, there doesn't seem to be too much point shown in the whole thing, no real build up or anything, some opening diolog between the two people being filmed would have been good to see and not really starting right into shooting. The shooting animation is decent and does seem to look like it's coming from the guns which is good.

The ending is probably the funniest part about this I have to say, much of the rest just seems more like a silly video, so I'm not really so keen on those parts, they where kind of lacking in my view. But otherwise, everything else here seemed to be fine, just need to expand the idea a little more I think.

"Not Great"

submission: Knife Shorts 1

date: July 25, 2008

I wasn't too keen on this, I mean I can see what you are trying to do here and people have done it before, but I don't think this really came together too well. The blood just looks like a thick brush with the colour red, I know it might take longer to add shading on each frame, but it would look much better than just a solid red colour that you have here.

The first stick figure too looked very deformed, need to work on the art there a bit, much of the animation inline with the video though did seem to be well timed which is good, so nice work on that. The audio was okay, easy to hear and everything, no problems there. Overall, you have an idea but I think it needs more work.

"Not Too Bad"

submission: Star Fox: Loopy Battle

date: July 25, 2008

Well the graphics whern't too bad although they did look traced, they did also look like they lacked a bit of charactor to them. The voice acting was very clear and everything which was good and you had subtitles to them which fit in with the whole flash as well as being easy to read, though parts of the voice acting could be improved like the part where he said "Whoa", that sounded to lack charactor.

The animation was okay but some parts just seemed a little off, like the looping movement of the ships, seemed to kind of jerk in a way. But most parts of the animation seemed to be okay and the mouth movment was pretty decent but it did need more work on facial expressions, they just looked expressionless.

"Okay"

submission: Abe Simpson Soundboard

date: July 18, 2008

As far as soundboards go, this works and is well what I would expect from a soundboard, there is nothing really wrong with the whole thing, decent audio and everything. Although, the buttons are kind of an off colour, I would suggest yellow for those or something a little simler to that because as they are, they don't fit in. Also, make the image a button as oppose to the text because if you hover over part with no text, you can't click it.

Other than the look and such of the button, they fit down the screen pretty well and keep the image in the centre looking fine which is decent quality in itself. I wasn't so sure about the extra in this, it wasn't really ammusing or worth watching, so eh. Everything else worked fine and as a soundboard yeah, this is okay.
