"Could have been... better..."

submission: The Nerd Test V3.2

date: January 9, 2009

The good:
It correctly interpreted i was a nerd.
The falling particles.

The bad:
The music is more annoying then my sister.
The questions aren't completly on the little blocks.
Unoriginal.

My advice, study up on flash and release peices that have a more complete feel.

Score: 9

"Pretty great for a compilation."

submission: $00pah NiN10Doh!

date: January 8, 2009

Most compilations have got one or two great artists and the rest suck ass, while that is occasionally displayed here i can't really argue with it because of how long it was, longest flash i've seen on newgrounds... loaded in 30 secs which is a century to my usual on ng but then i looked at the size and well that explained it... Possibly having it load parts as it goes would be a better system for those with slow internet.

The good:
Length.
Variety.
Sheer WTF moments.

The bad: some of the voices and animating didn't feel like they suited each other, mind you jiggly puff sounded perfect...
size: 21 freaking megabytes, most of the downloads I do are smaller then that...

Overall: a great peice with its own little issues as all seem to have. 9/10 5/5. Size is the one thing that i kinda didn't like but also loved, No damn pixalation is worth 21 megs, however those still using dial up are in trouble. (who uses it any more anyway? got cable?)

kudos to the organizer for getting this big a collab together.

Score: 9

"Pretty good but could use some improvement."

submission: Rat Episode 2

date: January 1, 2009

First the bad things just to get them out of the way, The voice acting was slightly less then something expected... and I'm not sure exactly what the parameters you set for compressing the flashback segments, but raising the quality of that would help to improve the experience. there was some pixalation during that part, and you have 2 megs to work with... Yes i know i don't have a damn clue about the small details...

Now for the good which by far outstrips the bad, First but not least a frame by frame work, minimum tweaking if any style thing, love that, don't see enough of that. Secondly, while many will argue, I believe this is working up to revealing a slightly greater picture, we just have one or two corners of the big picture. And last but not least, You didn't go for this cheap shit some other people do, quality stayed steady through out the work* made me feel the next one will be even better.

All in all a great piece of work, could use some buffing but that's just extra onto the work of art. The only people I've see put down a bad score are the clueless and those who didn't bother watching the first one or who write like toddlers.

*see first paragraph for exception to that statement.

Score: 6

"Good combination but needs improvements"

submission: JVC- Stinger Sniper

date: December 24, 2008

The graphics were okay, It was a good game in a general sense, however the first level and the other one with the 2 second time limit, suffer from that, killing 5 guards in 7 seconds for the first mission is tough in itself, near impossible using a touchpad... However the last level felt like a bloody mimic of tactical assassin. Same bloody scenario, only difference was the elevator rather then stairs.

Improvements that i think would be worthwhile:
possibly a difficulty switch, for us lazy nubs.
At least some change in the amount of time, people with ET suffer because of crap like that. (Note i realize the condition is rare, i still reserve the right to bitch however.)
Possibly some more defined models, looked like i just put a giant bullet hole in everyone I shot, a lot of these games have better damage definition.

Notes:
Yes I'm an armchair critic, listen to the spam song to understand why, there's enough already, and i don't like spam.
ET- Essential Tremor. Yes its a valid medical condition, and I'm not full a bull.

Score: 9

"Not too good but not all that bad."

submission: Santa's Last Stop

date: December 18, 2008

Okay, Its almost certain somebody is going to call me an armchair critic, to which i say why yes i am, the only reason i haven't submitted any works is because too many people submit meaningless spam as it is, why not wait till its decent before submission.

That being said, it had some decent voice acting, none of the much experienced scratchy or poorly mixed in quality, that being said, they animating style or some part of it rubbed my eyes after a while. Had to check if it was on high because some of the lines weren't straight, it was on high, must have been the style... It did however get me going for a second though, the good old what the fuck ending solved it though. Make more work like it, pretty decent piece.

Score: 10

"Great series"

submission: There She Is!! final step

date: December 18, 2008

I have been a fan of it since the first episode, Loved the series... although this is my first review of one of them as i only recently started using my account again...

The series is great, the ending blends in perfectly with the rest of them, I'm glad i've been watching the flash portal as of late, love this flash series. No major flaws that i noticed, I love the whole Japanese touch while still maintaining an English translation on all the signs, allowing language challenged Americans like myself to enjoy it.

Score: 6

"Not so bad for a first."

submission: First ever animation

date: December 18, 2008

I have seen many new animations far worse then this, My current attempt at a first is a gun going off and i'm having trouble with even that simple tweening, so keep things up, you'll learn with time, probably...

Score: 8

"Haha"

submission: I Found A Dollar!

date: December 17, 2008

"Simplicity is an art form in itself." Can't remember where i hear that, but so true in this case, the music suited it perfectly and even though i usually frown on this simplistic style, it was dead center accurate here... loved it... great little clip.

Score: 9

"Looked quite nice except for a few select issues."

submission: -The Darkness of Xmas-

date: December 17, 2008

The animating was pretty good, up there with some of the best, however a couple of things kept you back in my mind, First the spelling, whether intentional or unintentional, that stuck, one of the mistakes i remember is sleigh is spelled like that, not with a t, there was another one that i can't quite remember.

And also, all the tweens except for the weapons ones were smooth, the weapon tweens looked a little out of place whenever santa picked up a gun, kinda like it lagged behind the rest of the animation.

Other then that, great flash.

Score: 3

"wow... terrible..."

submission: CTA : Hentai Stories

date: June 21, 2008

the animating was pretty good... if the constant cumshot was removed it might be worth watching...
