"Lame"

submission: The Ricky Ray Show! Ep. 5

date: May 21, 2007

I don't really have anything wrong with it being perverted or anything of the such. But that just seems like all it's got going. Some parts were funny maybe like the first time he looks at her boobs bouncing for a "driving test". But other then that there's a lot of glitz and glamer for what is a bad one line joke. I think if there were more play on the characters like the main character who is desperate for some action as a joke then simply the joke being BOOBS LOLZ! It might be funnier or more interesting. Or less cliche jokes that don't fit (like the zooming out to earth and hearing the stereotypical asian whore-like lady screaming).

However good drawing, looks and sounds pretty professional, this episode just didn't have much else going for it.

Score: 5

"Pretentious"

submission: Alive

date: May 14, 2007

Overall I found this piece to be quite pretentious. It tries to be really deep and emotionally moving when there is nothing to really grasp on to. It's just a bunch of highly cliche images of the skinny african boy playing soccer, an astronaut looking at earth, etc. The fact that is was so cliche made it seem almost like a commercial to me, completely turning me off to the deep emotion it's trying to grasp. I mean what i get from it is "It's just lifee maaan. We all stop to look at the same eclipse so we are like all the same maan!" *take bong hit*.

But I liked your drawing style, and sometimes the crappy animation was charming. There are also some good moments where it's not so cliche like the newgrounds comment added some comic relief and I guess I'm just one of very few who were turned off by something this corny so I guess you can take my comment with a grain of salt.

Score: 9

Score: 8

"Good stuff, I liked the camera angles"

submission: Link Gets Hurt Yet Again

date: March 11, 2007

This is really cool the animation is nice and the sound, despite it being pretty much just link's voice is really good. I love the camera angles and using a sort of traditional cinema style by focusing in on the points of action. Good work keep it up.

Score: 8

"Sick but funny"

submission: Queers of War

date: January 14, 2007

I think next to the menu song Malo's animation was by far the funniest. Ahh all that penis, I would have liked to see less dick and more awkward gay conversations between the cog and locust but funny stuff, I can't get over that hilarious song on the menu.

Score: 10

"Awesome work"

submission: MoreLikeBlue: Ep 3

date: January 14, 2007

Great stuff I love the monochrome, the sound is crisp and nice, the whole thing is very professional too, and the humor is great not over the top and forceful yet hilarious. Good job.

Score: 7

"Get exponentially easy"

submission: - Heli Invasion II -

date: January 14, 2007

Decent game, just another defend your castle type games though, not very original but hey it's solid. The game is pretty fun and challenging in the very beginning if you don't spend your cash right. But once you buy the right upgrades theres no need for human input anymore. Still it was solid game, just nothing to original and around level 10 the gameplay is gone.

Score: 7

"Funny"

submission: Random Comic - episode 1

date: January 14, 2007

Haha I liked that, good writing, funny stuff. Now all you need is some better refined graphics and cleaner audio. The voice acting wasn't that bad either, could be better. Over I liked it keep up the good work.

Score: 6

"Hold on.."

submission: Sent To You By A Friend

date: January 12, 2007

Hold on... *cheeks puff out* I'm just gonna- let me just.. *pull out barf bag* HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHURUURURULLLLGG GGALLLLLLLGGG, *wipes mouth*. Ok I'm ready now.

Bleeeck cutesy stuff. Ok whatever cute little pictures of dogs and cat, the music seemed a little over the top for the subject matter, but besides that I definitely like the effect on the text and I'm sure someone less heartless then me would definitely enjoy it. Some of the pictures were of less quality then the others that had like over exposure and kind of broke up the continuity of the flash for me, though they did add a certain endearing quality to them. Otherwise decent work, just a little too sappy for me.

Score: 3

"Cheesy"

submission: I miss you Daddy

date: January 11, 2007

In all honesty I found this flash to be cheesy and simply using a relate-able tragic event to pull at peoples emotions. If the little girl's father died of something like lung cancer, some freak accident, or was even randomly murdered I don't think you would nearly get the same response from people. The animation didn't even have anything that really related to 9/11 just a series of frames using tired sad symbols like a sad little child, roses, and a slow moving tear.

I'm sorry, I feel like an asshole because I'm sure this animation means a lot to many people, but I'm not rating the emotional power of the "my daddy died in 9/11" context. I'm rating the animation itself, and the animation had an overused song, mediocre graphics, a lot of simple tweening animation, and seriously lacked originality. My score does not in any way reflect my opinion of the seriousness of the tragic events of 9/11 nor am I simply trying to stand out and offend people, the animation just came off as abrasively emotional and corny to me.
