Infinite Dreams

"How sweet"

submission: Infinite Dreams
date: May 15, 2005

Sure the art was a little crappy, but the presentation is simply outstanding for being a first work :). Work a little on making your art cleaner and you'll develop into a great flash artist :)

Author's Response:

thanks. I've gotten some good tips from past reviewers that I intend to use, maybe up my frame rate a little bit for a fast song and such

Zelda is scary

"Telling everyone that you are a NOOB is no excuse"

submission: Zelda is scary
date: May 15, 2005

There are an infinate amount of people on here who have created good flashes for their first submission. You're just making an excuse to recieve pity from reviewers.

I'll be honest, I didn't get it the first, third or fourth time I watched it (I can do that because there are preloaders that are longer than this) I had to read a review stating what it was about. Its a cute joke but it was poorly executed. If you would've shown Zelda taking off her tiara and putting Link's hat on (A simple motion tween if you would've taken a small time to learn through the tutorial provided with Flash) than maybe people would've found it funny.

OR you could've put a small explaination saying "Zelda is alone and thinking what if Link loved her" or something like that instead of rambling how you should recieve pity points on this.

I want you to take a moment, and think, if you are some random viewer and you see "Zelda is Scary" and there is a crappy discription of the flash with very very few clues in the actual flash on what it is, would you honestly get it?

I sure as hell wouldn't. Unless they are a hardcore Zelda fan who just votes "5" on anything with the "Z" or "L" word in it.

Put a little more effort in your animation next time. Flash is not Photoshop.

Stop Crying - Part 1

"Beautiful"

date: May 10, 2005

People who say that this wouldn't have never received a high score had it not been on the front page don't understand the concept of Flash. Flash is an art and art is an expression. There are countless flashes on here who use it as a joke or to be funny and popular but you use it to keep your brother's memory alive.

The art on here is excellent for a new user and I like how you play on symbolism using the coloring scheme rather than just displaying objects.

I will continue to watch future episodes.

No matter how awful the world seems, remember that there are people that care about you.

MGS3: Boss Failures

"Good Submission"

date: May 8, 2005

Wow, this is a really creative idea. Okay confession One: I would've ignored this one if it didn't have the MGS name in it :p

I think what really caught my eye was your uber-cool Loader. That was awesome. How did you do it? That stupid snake almost hypnotised me 0_o.

Anyways, the ideas in this were also creative and quite humorous. My two favorites are The Beginning and The Box Eater.

The only bad thing was: For such good drawing and animation tricks, I was a little disappointed that all the characters just stood there with a couple of twitches/mysterious-wind-blowing-coat-in-a-closed-off-room tricks.

Well, good luck to you and your future animations.

Author's Response:

The coat blowing this was supposed to be a joke. You always see dark, shady people in long coats or long hair blowing in the wind when they're in like a restaurant or something. I was going to have the casting director guy say something like; "What the hell's up with that coat?" and The Slight Discomfort would just say; "Uhh--" and then it'd cut to the next scene. I just forgot to do it. Oh well.

moogle introduction

"Can we say: Teenage Mutant Ninja Moogles?"

date: April 26, 2005

The animation was good. A lot better than I could ever do. I thought they were cute, but I preferred the originals better.

Author's Response:

yeah, you just can't beat mog, but the only problem with him is that he's not very intimidating, so i tried to alter the basic character design a bit
thanks for the comment

Review: Alien vs Predator

"Problem is..."

date: April 12, 2005

Isn't this a little old? AVP has already been out of the theaters and onto DVD months ago. Most online reviews like this come out maybe a week or two after the film debuts.

The problem with doing an old movie is that all the complaints and issues have long been dealt with long ago.

Author's Response:

Yeah, that is a problem. But I wrote teh movie a couple weeks after I saw it, but was busy. The we started it hoping to have it done by the DVD release, but we got busy.

Better late than never!

Piconjo's Party 2 (2/2)

"You probably prove some of your points in reviews"

date: April 12, 2005

So what if you make fun of other flash authors. People on the internet have freedom of speech and it can go the other way around as well.

People shouldn't vote 0 everytime there is a Piconjo party. If you did, than you just prove his point about fans being blind. The people who are made fun of in here openly admit they don't care. So why should you?

For the most part, the animation is good and there's alot of almost hollywood-like cinematograghy(sp?).

Most of the good stuff came from Jerkoffman. Everyone should at least watch that one before voting a zero.

Sure there are some bad ones, but that's the point of collab. You gather talents all around to create one product.

If you truely belive this deserves a zero than go right ahead. But there are some good things in here.
