"That'll do Pig, that'll do."

submission: When Pigs Fly

date: July 29, 2009

This game is fantastic. Don't get me wrong, it pissed me off to no end and had me sweating bullets as I grazed past a rock within a hair's width, but that's what I love about it. It evokes that nostalgic feeling of old video games where one hit meant death and you're always on your toes. The trial and error constantly pushes you to give it another try and it's extremely difficult to give up and walk away.

The music was great, fit the mood perfectly and was very catchy. The pig noises, well it was probably just because I died so much but I found them a bit grating after a while, especially since they were so high-pitched and loud. Would be nice to be able to disable them, but it's a great incentive not to die so I don't have to hear that squeal again.

It looks great too, very cute and very vibrant. Everything's clear and easy to see, which is helpful in a game like this. I've not had as much challenge in a flash game like this in a long while, I may even come back and try it backwards, just for that medal.

Score: 2

"This could've been better"

submission: Bobo Attacks

date: July 4, 2009

Artistically I feel this movie offered very little satisfaction to the core audience being targetted in that it failed to address the key conventions present in a flash animation. The audio was out of sync, the animation was cut and dry and the story was convoluted and nonsensical.

Perhaps you should try programming instead.

"Great addition to the series."

submission: Nameless 6 Vol.3 Part 1/2

date: May 29, 2009

The animation was superb, vastly improved from the early episodes whicn weren't too shabby to begin with. Your visual style is clear and distinctive, instantly easy to recognise and fits perfectly with the type of humour you have going here. The slight facial animations and movements really paid off, gave the characters that bit more feeling to them.

The voice work was great. Never have I heard Speakonia or Microsoft Sam or whatever robot voice that was used to such a good extent. To take a cold, stunted robotic voice and draw humour out of it is definately worthy of praise. CB's strange voice is by now endearing and fits the character. The rest of the voice work was swell too.

Feels like I'm gushing, but I really do love your work and I look forward to the next part coming out tomorrow. I don't understand why you wouldn't have just put them both in one part though? The runtime might have been too long for the average viewers attention span I suppose. Still this episode didn't feel any less complete and it made me laugh, keep it up, look forward to the next one.

"What were you trying to achieve here?"

submission: One More Brawl Taunts

date: May 8, 2009

Half the time I was watching it I wasn't sure if you were parodying the whole series because there were hints of self-awareness over the type of reputation this has garnered and the particular audience it appeals to.

On the other hand there was even more awful attempts at humour, bad voice-acting, horrible comedic timing and even WORSE animation than the previous installments. Don't know how that happened. So this lead me to believe that instead of a self-referential ironic remorse over the series you've created, it was infact a weird hybrid trying to please everyone but infact just alienating more people.

Let's face it, at least before you had an audience. It wasn't the best audience, they weren't a credible audience that knew anything about animation or comedy but they were an audience none the less. You should at least cater to them rather than make it clear that you're aware and making fun of the lowest factor of people your flash series appeals whilst at the same time producing the same old stuff that they gobble up.

You know that you're not liked and that you're not liked by some of the greatest animators and artists on this site, No one likes being hated obviously, but you either stop churning out the garbage that makes them hate you or you ignore them and at least try to make something better for the people that like it in the first place, not create a shambolic inbetween which pleases no one.

Brawl Funnies said it best. Do you want to be known as the person who took a shit that everyone loved?

Now I didn't want to be too negative writing this, but I was actually surprised that it was worse than the others, though that's not to say you or anyone involved in this can't do better. Make something original rather than constant parodies, don't write if you can't write, don't animate if you can't animate etc. Play to your strengths and strive to improve them.

"Fantasticic"

submission: Brawl Funnies [Dick 1]

date: May 7, 2009

Whilst the flash was loading (took a while what with the all the anime porn I had downloading) I noticed all the negative reviews calling you out for attacking a beloved artist on NewGrounds and that the only good short was the first one.

This was when I knew it was going to be good.

Pretty ironic that the same audience you rip apart for gobbling up every new installment of Brawl taunts is sitting there drooling as the joke flies over there head, only to perk up interest at the slightest suggestion of tits or sex.
This was actually funnier than most of the other parody type flash thing cartoons that are made and for the most of them the animation was far better than Brawling Tauntings. I especially enjoyed the one in the balloon, gave me a good chuckle.
There's nothing wrong with doing flash about video games of course, if they're done well, which Brawl taunts is not. Why it's so popular confuses me, maybe it's something to do with a girl being involved.
Anywho I must be off, shan't be watching part two as there are forums I need to be arguing on over if Cloud having sex with Aeris is canon and there's only so many hours in the day FUCK IS THAT KNUCKLES MUSIC STILL PLAYING I THOUGHT I CLOSED THAT WINDOW DAMN

"Totally Awesome!"

submission: Call of Awesome

What I liked more than the fast-talking and the pupilless eyes with huge eyebrows was the perceptive nature in which you picked out key elements of the gay which I found to be highly amusing.

Also the old lady with a lemon.

You get points for having a Super-Sucking Vacuum Team.

Great April Fools' Submission, it didn't lack anything in quality and was fun to watch. Was really disappointed that I didn't get to see Sonic making out with a young boy as I am a raging, disgusting, pedophile furry, but otherwise than that I enjoyed it very much so.

The Tails though part at the end was good, I almost X'd the page when the credits started rolling though. It was slightly difficult to hear and I was expecting a screamer of some sort. Dancing Knuckles was clearly the highlight of the piece anyway.

"Much More Like It"

submission: : It's A Bald World... :

date: March 25, 2009

This episode seems much more reminiscent of your earlier work, I love it. It was funny, fast and witty. There was plenty of subtle animation in the characters that seemed to work well, I mean I don't remember them blinking so much but it's nice to see little touches like that added.

Only major gripe is the length, though it is funny and I did like it, it's hard to give it a really high score because of how long it was. Perhaps it'd be better if you submitted several shorts together, but hey, who cares about scores. It was good and that's what matters.

Keep it up, I'll have to go back now and watch all the episodes I've missed.

"Great Part Two, Fun To Watch"

submission: ParodyRangersTheMovie P.2

date: March 23, 2009

It's rare to see a 20 minute Flash and even rarer to have one consistently hold the attention of the audience without trailing off or losing focus since it's no easy feat to accomplish, so great work on that, you deserve kudos for it. The flash overall, whilst in my opinion still not being as good as the first one, was enjoyable to watch.
The animation has definately improved and although it's still not amazing, it's good and better than previous installments. The lip-syncing was very well done and not cheaped out on so props for that as I know how tedious it can be. However the backgrounds didn't seem to have to the same attention put into them as the characters, sometimes being little else than a gradient, but for so many scenes and being generally fast-paced I can see why it'd be a waste to spend ages on a background.
Voice work was of a high quality most of the time, aside from a few noticeable mic pops which could've been picked up on. The voices are really what make this flash so it's good to see them done well, if obviously cheesey.
The story is obviously following the first Power Rangers movie so what can I say about that. It's a well done parody of what was, looking back at it now, an awful movie. The pace that the story progressed though felt like it could've been faster. The speedy pace of the original was what I really enjoyed. I can see why you'd want to put more care into it but don't let it lose it's steam. As for the for the unrelated scenes that were crowbarred in (like the Sonic scene), I don't know about those, they feel forced and uncomfortable. I mean it can be a funny joke, but just plonking it down anywhere doesn't work as well as placing it within a context that fits.

This can't have been easy to make and it's clear that there's a lot of love put into it from everyone involved. Keep it up, I'll be waiting for the next part.

"A Fitting Tribute"

submission: How I Buy Petrol?

date: March 23, 2009

First off I'm amazing at how quick you pumped this out and how suprisingly fun it is. The graphics were basic but went well with the overall vibe of the piece, the characters were all quirky and the dialogue was funny. The music choice was perfect, the exact theme tune for an idiot trying to exact revenge. The gameplay was fun enough, pretty much like an other Pont & Click game, though I liked the movement aspect, apart from not really being sure where you could go into and where you couldn't.

Nice work Scotty, I hope Sirtom enjoys playing it.....
