"I'll be constructive"

submission: PlayStation Collab

date: July 28, 2009

For a Playstation collab, I'm pretty dissapointed. That's just me being a Playstation fanboy, but how could you forget Playstation icons such as Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tekken, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider? These are the things that came to my mind when I even heard the title Playstation Collab, and I'm sure a lot of people would have thought other more iconic Playstation figures than whatever is presented here.

But hey, PLAYSTATION is a pretty broad subject.

The first thing I want to point out from my opinion is that, this misses a major thing:

HUMOR - I'm pretty sure you guys were trying to do this.

Sure, there are people who will find this funny, but there were a number of shorts here I could recall being a complete mess. Especially the GTA2 one, what was the point of that? The 'intermission' cut was certainly unnecessary. Duke Nukem gets high on bubblegum, and the Midnight Club II just HAD to have a written explanation at the end just for viewers to get the "joke". The only thing that really had a joke was the 1st parappa bit, although the humor isn't my thing; I found it funny because the dialogue actually parodied the game itself!
Honestly, a collab does not have to be funny in order to be good.

However, a collab that is TRYING to be funny by thrashing out whatever comes to mind, it's a little bit too desperate.
(For example, Leon and the zombie, Chris blowing off Rebecca's face)

Another thing I want to point out is, it's not that organized really. I don't blame the Collab runner, collabs are hard to run, people give up, and it's always hard to keep in track with people involved. But really, a good collaborated piece has to be organized in some way.

But again, congrats in getting this done. There's a hell lot of people starting collabs not even finishing it.

"Absolute truths to NG power"

submission: How to NG Animator God 2

date: July 23, 2009

I gave this 7/10 because it gave me a great chuckle.

You point out the best of the stupid things a lot of users tend to do when making a flash movie, and in ways to become a more iconic figure in Newgrounds. While this isn't a flashy entry to Newgrounds, it's a must see for amusement. It's like, an ultimate mock tutorial.

Memes. 13 year olds. Hahaha.
And the thing about the hentai Icon, priceless. It is so true.

Good job.

"Brilliant"

Lovely style man. Lovely timing and lovely feature. I would love to see a whole movie in this style. Instant classic.

Score: 9

"Enjoyed it!"

submission: Lil' Hoots

date: July 2, 2009

It's another fresh breath of cartoons in Newgrounds, and this one gave a great nostalgic feeling to classic toons. It's definitely not for EVERYONE on NG, but I'm sure it's much MUCH appreciated out of this community. Thank you for making this flash! I totally enjoyed it.

The animation was fluid and brilliant, and how you manage to stylize and icon-ize the characters works terrifically well. The voices do work well, though sometimes it felt a bit forced and I was starting to pick up the redundancy in their tones.

But that's only a VERY MINOR issue, easily passable, so all in all this is a job well done.

Janus-2point0's review is just... pointless. So what if it was done by a girl, dude? What kind of argument is that? The pacing too slow? It's not a cartoon trying to be cool hip fast, complicated storyline and full of action. It's clean and simple.

Score: 8

"Looking forward to the end..."

submission: Primal War 19

date: June 16, 2009

Hey there. I've been watching the Primal War series for a while, and I can say is that you are doing a good job of keeping a long running series alive. That is damn impressive, having the motivation to finish a whole saga. Each episode has some great visuals and animation techniques, even having a time span of like what... 8-12 minutes? That's badass. You have supporters out there including me, so we look forward to the end of this show. The simplified animation works, it doesn't bore the viewer too easily.

I might have to agree with some folks talking about sound. Good sound is difficult to achieve. I think it's creative that you used animal sounds instead of voice dialogues, and it totally gives the series it's own essence. It would've been interesting if you had a cast, but this series has it's own world. I think you would've used more variety of the animal sounds since I've been hearing repeats of the same effects. Maybe looking for a package of stock sounds could remedy this, or hire a sound designer to make a track consisting of different sound pitches.

Your characters are memorable, they have their own style. Especially the women; while they look closer to an actual human being, they just (once again) make the world of Primal War. Your color schemes are impressive, and they give a strong atmosphere to the whole flash series.

Keep up the good work, we are eagerly waiting for the final battle.

"One of the better collabs"

submission: Street Fighter Collab

date: May 27, 2009

Honestly, this is one of the best collabs I have ever seen. It's so well organized, it's got some strong tilt values and it's actually funny. Honestly, I found all the shorts worth the watch so congratulations.

The ones I really laughed out loud to was Tom Fulp's bit (Sagat, Hey sagat!!), TheMexicanMuffin (asian hunter), Fiergon's laundry one, and pigpen's one (because this was so true when I played SF2 growing up).

Though I have to point out some of the great work from gel, el cid, and Chakra-x.

Stamper, yeah I'm not surprised. That's Stamper :P

But all in all, this is one of the best collabs I've seen on NG. No part to me was boring, everyone had their own sense of humor, and it works. Totally does Street Fighter justice.

Score: 9

"Congratulations Blake"

submission: If you seek...

date: April 2, 2009

Hey man, good job on this flash!

You're drawing style is great, really love how you pay strong attention to the faces! and the color pallette chosen for this video works with the overall aura of the movie. I really like the way you challenge yourself to dynamic shots. The message of this movie is simple, and it feels like a strong public message.

The only thing I would critique really, is the use of consistent proportion. Sometimes the proportion in some shots is pretty realistic, and in some shots it shifts to cartoony (Like the side walk scene where his feet are suddenly enlarged)

But otherwise man, I enjoyed this short overall. It was fun to watch, and KEEP UP the good work! I'm with you dude

"I enjoyed it, not too glamorous"

submission: Sometimes, y

date: January 19, 2009

I totally dig your humor! It really does make me want to see a full version of this. The reason why I am giving you a 5 is the lack of effort, since you only spent an evening at it. However, I'm bumping it to a 6 because I really did enjoy the content in this trailer. If you could, you could've added more scenes with more conflict. I'm sure you only made this as a spoof or parody to cartoon films of today, and I did find it funny.

It's hilarious, but nothing too glamorous.
