Metal Gear Crisis 1.1

"Not worth a ten"

date: March 25, 2005

The art's quite excellent. Especially some of the emotions (although what is up with the dancing eyebrow? I know you have to exaggerate in animation but they should move a little stiffer like they were attached to skin, not as if they were two caterpillars). I know who you are NALO; I’ve seen your other works before this and graphically, this is your best one (but you de-aged Snake into a teenager who looks younger than Otacon, if you aren’t going to use the old model, at least give him a few more age lines).

Voice acting: The guy played Otacon nailed it PERFECTLY. Too bad no one else didn’t. Snake sounded like Keanu Reeves from “Bill and Ted”, Liquid’s went way overboard with the bad british to where it got annoying, and Lady Villain reminded me of Rebecca pre-Reremake aka, she got annoying as well. Lesson? He acted like the normal Otacon from the series; while a little exaggeration is fine and recommended, the other voices practically raped it to death.

Now the script; call me crazy, or old since I am 22, but guards farting and pissing in their pants? There are a million different things you could’ve done and yet your humor downgraded from clever and witty (Return of Ganondorf) to the kind of things that are normally blammed. This isn’t funny, and at the very least, it’s redundant. If I want fart jokes done right, I’d watch an episode of South Park.

Overall, I’d rate it above average but not “the ultimate MGS flash.”

"VERY Important..."

Please change the lance button from shift to select. Unless Sticky Keys is turned off, a pop up will show up saying "pressing Shift" 5 times activates StickyKeys. Its annoying and ruins the experience. (note: the 0 for sound is only because my speakers aren't working. Wasn't counted against you)

if he worked a bit more...he could've been a good flash artist, and seven people would still be alive today.

Resident Evil For Retards

"It was funny for the first couple of scenes"

date: March 20, 2005

But then it got really repetitive. The script was made up of nothing but one liners. Character A: say thing they must do. Character B: Let me guess..../ Okay so I have to.... etc etc. You could've made a top ten list and it still would exhibit the same thing as this flash. It was creative the for the first couple of scenes, but after that, it just got redundant.

Graphically, its nice looking but its also one demensional. Mouth moves, characters just stand there until their line is done and then walk out.

Good idea, but executed with to many numerous flaws.

yea we will imrove the next ones, or the delivery is free:)

Matt G's - BATMAN ep. 0

"His head"

date: March 15, 2005

I like the style. Reminds me of a mixture of Frank Miller and Paul Dini. However, the consistancy was a little off. One point (when he was walking away from the camera) he was proportional, the next his head blew up to about twice the size. It looks really bad. Shoulders tend to give a character a more prominent(sp?) look. Sure batman tends to slink a little bit on the cartoons but you didn't do it right and he looks more funny than serious. Oh and the zero for sound is because my speakers not functioning so its best I not judge that than to guess a score. But it didn't count against you.

"Not bad for a first flash"

submission: WWWWWw

I'm guessing this is your first flash. Although it really wasn't funny, it was quite cute though. But here's a little advice, you may want to create more plot next time. Fighting sprite animations just don't cut it anymore here.

Saria's Song

"Well, its not flash..."

submission: Saria's Song

But its not crap either. You're a good musician, the notes were on key, the sound was extremely crisp, and you're alot cuter than the Numa Numa guy (*wink*).

X-Men:Dark Phoenix Rising

"Holy Hell!"

date: February 18, 2005

It takes ALOT of skills to make out a sequel and have it being funnier than the last; but my GOD, I can't believe you just "whipped it out" in a matter of days. You know what you should do? Write to Marvel, show them these flashes, become the new Bullpen author. You should really consider turning this into a full fledge series.

FF: Mixed in Balamb2(2/3)

"Haven't you been reading your reviews?"

date: February 14, 2005

Most of the complaints in this flash are 1) the animation sucks, because the characters look like they are those puppets who have sticks attached to their feet and you just wave it up and down everytime you want someone to talk, walk etc. 2) The humor needs alot of work (You're a cloud..... ..... ...) and the one point I actually laugh is on a bonus scene... I was going to tell you that was clever but then I find out it was from another comic and not your own.

And now you want us to donate money for a freggin Wacom create better drawings!?! Look, your art is fine, but get your freggin priorities straight. Take a look at the most of the top 20 of all time.You may have prettier art than some of them, but what they also balance, wit, cleaverness, orginality, and better action scenes. You want to know why you aren't up there with them? Because, if your skills were a bar chart, Graphics are at the moon and everything else is in the Marianas Trench.

Besides, what good is a wacom, when you can't even demonstrate fbf action? Shoot, you don't even show scenes of characters walking with their feet shown except when their shaded black. For all we know, you'll just continue to tween except its not "drawn with a mouse".

The Legend of Link Intro

"Needs alot of improvements"

date: February 7, 2005

The beginning started off good. However there were a couple of things that need to be fixed before you should get your series on the roll. First off, its probably best that you add wings to Navi. I know you mentioned somewhere that you think the wings look stupid but the sad fact is that unless you want fanboys and girls niching at your heals over that one detail over and over, you may want to consider it. Also, Link looks terrible. Remember, he's one of the main characters, aka the guy people are going to look at throughout your series, aka the guy people are going to concentrate on.
I think its because there is none or barely any shadowing. If you can do Navi, than shadowing should be no problem. If it is, than go to a shadowing tutorial here at this site. It makes a big difference. Also, you made his face a little too square. Good for castles, bad for people. It needs to be more rounded off. The same goes for your eyes.

Author's Response:

Ya, I know Link needs to be redone. I am in the process of redrawing him, and harofreak is also redoing this intro completly an his Link looks alot better. as for wings for navi...I'll try my best to make them look good. I'm probably not going to make the deadline for ep1.
