"Yeah, it was bad, but not THAT bad..."

submission: in my head

date: November 29, 2003

You know, I'm still not totally sure that this should have gotten Turd Of The Week, but you seemed pretty happy about it in the OCP thread so I won't say anything more about it. All I'm saying is that Turd Of The Week should only be reserved for the worst of the worst and well, some people here might call me crazy, but I really didn't mind this one. At least you had some music in there, right? Besides, I've always had a soft spot for random Flash animations so you're getting a 3 from me. Enjoy the fame while it lasts though. For the next few days as Turd Of The Week, this Flash of yours is going to be in the spotlight. Just take solace in the fact that you've won a Portal Award and also in the fact that this Flash is getting more Views by the minute. Still, I'm not sure if Turd Of The Week is something to be proud of... Good work though, Ryan.

"No colour, no problem!"

submission: B&W Drama Theater #13

date: November 29, 2003

To be totally honest with you, I was just a little put off by this whole series just because it didn't have any colour to it. Yeah, I know it's stupid, but it's true. Now I can see just how much of an idiot I was. I watched this Flash for the first time this morning and I loved every second of it. It's hard to believe how much trouble a simple water cooler could cause. But yeah, the animation was extremely smooth, the sound quality was excellent, the style was fantastic and the overall feel of the Flash actually has a unique style all its own. And since I already said that the style was fantastic, it's all covered. I'll try to go back and watch all the other "B&W Drama Theatre" Flashes one by one when I have the time. Awesome job, dude. You scored a big fat 5 from me.

"Best. Music. Video. Ever."

submission: The Fulps - Tribute

date: November 19, 2003

At this point, if you were to ask me if I'm going to give this a 5, it'd be a rhetorical question. There is no doubt in my mind that this thing totally deserves a 5. Love the song, love the animation (muh_not_stooped's Tom and Wade Fulps are uncannily accurate) and the weird images in Sqeezy's portion of the Flash were just random enough to make me crack up for about ten minutes. This thing is just too awesome for words. You know, I always found the song to be a great story all on its own, but for some strange reason, this Flash gives it all so much more depth, even if you DID use Tom and Wade as your main characters. I don't know, it's just the use of images that made it so appealing to me. The ONLY thing I would fix here (and yes, I do mean ONLY) is the two parts where Tom says "Wade Fulp". Having no music playing while those two words are said kind of kills the song for just that one moment and it stops it from flowing as well as it should have. Aside from that, this thing is totally perfect. Now, to contact that voting sweatshop I own in Madagascar. We need to slap as many 5's on this thing as humanly possible... Keep up the extra-freakin'-ordinary work!

Score: 5

"Well, the animation wasn't much..."

submission: The B&J Show

date: November 18, 2003

But this thing still managed to get a laugh out of me, even if it was only because of that weird-ass running animation. I have no idea why, I just found that to be the funniest part of the whole thing. I don't really have much to say about this one, but I can tell you right now that you made a really good choice with the music. It really went along with what was going on in the cartoon itself and it had the same kind of style, you know? Just enough to make the entire thing run together and look really good. The "fart machine" joke was kind of stupid, but hey, it's Newgrounds, right? No one really cares. But yeah, if there was just one more thing I would add, it'd be a little more colour to the intro of the movie. There was just too much white in the first minute or so of the movie and to be completely honest with you, when I saw that one scene, I thought the entire thing would turn out to be crap. You surprised me though, and for that, you're getting a 3 from me. Work on it, but for now, that's pretty damn decent.

"More addictive than a bag of cocaine..."

submission: Demon Hunt

date: November 18, 2003

Wow, the music in this game really adds to the effect, huh? I was playing for a few minutes just to see what you cooked up this time, but thanks to the combination of awesome music (God bless those guys in the Audio Portal) and the addictive gameplay, I'm hooked, dude. I just know I'm going to be coming back to this one sometime in the near future. The only suggestions I have for you are possibly adding a power-up or something just to mix things up a bit. You know, something you can shoot to get, like, a ten-second "Power Trident" or something that can fly through those Angels without damaging them. I don't know, I'm just tossing ideas out. It doesn't really matter though. You've still got an excellent game here, man. You've got my 5 this time. Don't ever stop the Flash magic, KoRnFreakeR.

"All that and only 460Kb! Nice!"

submission: F13 short film

date: November 18, 2003

Man, I've always been a major fan of the whole "Friday The 13th" series so I just LOVED this Flash, dude. I mean, you said this thing was short too, right? Well, considering how small the file size is, I think you pulled this thing off really well. Lovin' the use of the sounds and music from the actual Jason flicks and your animation of the guy was pretty damn accurate too. Totally captured the feel of the entire series and well, to be completely honest with you, I really want to see you try and pull off something much longer using the same ideas that you had here. But yeah, that's just a suggestion. Personally, while I would like to see you do more of this kind of thing, this Flash was good enough to get me voting 4's and 5's on your work. Totally love it, man. Keep up the excellent work.

Score: 10

"Most addictive game ever!"

submission: ! Fishy !

date: November 16, 2003

Man, I've probably spent countless hours playing this game and despite how repetitive the game actually is, it doesn't stop it from being fun. You've really created a great game formula here and this is just the thing I'd like to have on a rainy day to pass the time. The game never really gets boring and the fact that you actually CAN beat the game at the end instead of just having it go on forever is a huge plus. The best part about this game is the fact that it's so simple and easy. In my opinion, any game where you can play for hours without noticing is a good one so you totally have my 5 vote. You're awesome at designing games so don't ever stop. Newgrounds needs more of your work. Great job, man.

"I've been hooked since "All Your Pie"..."

submission: Kerri's Big Invention

date: November 16, 2003

Man, you always manage to get me laughing my ass off when I'm watching your cartoons. You just can't get any better than a Flash animation filled with finger traps, Post-It notes and convenient holes in the floor. I don't know, you just always crack me up. This whole "Ark and Kerrigan" thing is one of my favourite series' on Newgrounds and you know what? If you don't have a Newgrounds Collection just yet, you should try and get one. I'm loving every single one of these things and it's nice to know that you're still pumping out brand new stuff for the entire NG community. In short, keep up the awesome work and I'll keep voting 5's. Lovin' it, dude.

Score: 10

"One of the most artistic animations on NG!"

submission: Ready's Voyage

date: November 15, 2003

Well, that thing was just beautiful. Extremely well-animated, excellent style and wonderful choice of music. The damn thing almost brought a tear to my eye. This Flash is something I'd expect to see at an animation festival or something, it was so well done. There's not really much more I need to say here, but I can tell you right now, this is going right into my Favourite Submissions list, dude. I'm totally looking forward to seeing more stuff from you and you're getting a perfect 10 from me in this review and a perfect 5 from me when I get around to voting. Hope you make it to #1 in the Top 50 Of All Time list. If not, I know I'll be doing my part to try and get it up there. Love your work, man. I'm going to be showing this to just about everyone I know...

"Good, but I still liked the original better..."

submission: "Waterman" Ep. II Part II

date: November 15, 2003

Well, the one-line summary up there pretty much sums it all up. I just get the impression that on the first one, you really worked hard on it in order to create a series that people would really like. And I guess you guys succeeded. I was just a little let down because I was expecting more of what I saw in the first one. I just find that this one wasn't quite as funny as I expected and although there's no arguing the fact that this is still one of the best new series' on Newgrounds, I still think that the first one was by far the best. Not to say that this one was bad, I just wouldn't put it on my Favourite Submissions list. You're getting a 4 from me though. Good job.
