"All tens, what else?"

submission: The Clockcrew TV Collab 2

date: June 1, 2007

Over a year in the making, the end result is great to see as it compiles 20 minutes of really great humor, nicely done!

RoseClock's part is likely my favourite, since it really captures the advertising style, with great animation to boot.

Looking back, my parts were really old and all.

"A sensation of euphoria and moistened genitals."

submission: Nineteen Hippos

date: April 9, 2007

It really is.

Reasons being are the fantastic animation, the great scripting and the humor, "Make a F***ing flash and people will be happy" says the bunny, but indeed the truth has been told, I feel compelled to add this to my favourites as such for it is a fantastic animation.

Recommendation: Longer plz, more awesome is better.

"You know? I'm dealing with someone trying to quit."

submission: :: Smokin' Smokers ::

date: March 27, 2007

Like, right now, my mum is trying to quit smoking, it does annoy me a little that I see her smoking now and then, but GOD, it's nothing like how you put it. :\

She DOES NOT whine about it like a little bitch.
She DOES NOT bust a nut over small incidences.
She DOES try hard, a lot of people do, if this were not the case there would not be an industry for giving up cigarettes.

To be far, Foamy is actually complaining about his own kind, it's just not amusing either, he's bitching about something, he complains about small things and is way more annoying than quitters, I can't think of any social situations where people trying to give up smoking have been annoying, the people who have given up or aren't smoking tend to be a bit more annoying because they go like "Oh don't smoke it's bad for you, you should stop it causes cancer etc", I mean that's a fair statement to make.

So the weak point of the flash movie aside, the same usual animation problems exist here, the background is trace-bitmapped as usual to no appeal, as a matter of fact it's somewhat low detail for what it's meant to be, a detailed background. I cannot even tell what these four green barrels on the floor are supposed to be, bins, stumps, what are they?
I do wonder if you actually take these pictures yourself, if you do that's cool but you should try taking some effort to reproduce the image in flash rather than just using trace bitmaps.

Also, why the fuck is Foamy blinking so much? Seriously?

Which brings up another point, foamy has a tendency to be all over the screen ranting about whatever subject, but now I see he's only ever like at the bottom of the screen in the same position, he's not further out and only comes forward about 2 times, and when he jumps around it does so incredibly poorly with a huge noticeable gap in animation, did you forget what a tween is or something? :\

I will admit though, the statement about people deserving a sweet sugary treat of their choice as a consequence of doing something he liked was actually a bit amusing.

But in the end though, that like, one pro doesn't weigh anything against all the cons of a weak point, recycled and lazy graphics with obscure repeated animation and a lack of sound, yeah his voice is there with some atmosphere in the background but it's not really sufficient.

Actually that makes me wonder a little bit, why does he always rant in these random locations anyway? In front of some old ass building and ranting about quitters? Huh.

Anyhow, try to improve illwillpress, I'd like to see something good come out of you, I dare say if you even tried really hard you could make a winner, Foamy should you know, stop complaining and start taking action?

"Dayum, that's some professional work right there."

submission: Gun Devil

date: March 5, 2007

It doesn't really have much of a context other than heroism and good vs bad with impressive fighting, but regardless this is really enjoyable to watch this creative animation and techniques, such as using the drink can as a weapon by filling it with bullets, I thought that was fantastic.

The animation in this was of some very high quality, it's worth noting however one of two issues that did show up with bitmap images, they appeared rough with pixelated edges which was a bit annoying, you can fix this though, by finding the image in the object library, then going to the bitmap's properties and enabling smoothing, that should make anything like the can at the beginning look a lot better.

Other than that and the small translation errors, this was fantastic, something that I like so much that I'm even going to put this on my iPod to watch again in the future, kudos! ;)

"A fun game with a good engine, that falls short."

submission: Volley Spheres v2

date: February 23, 2007

Immediately what comes to mind when I play this is that the engine is very good, you can hit the ball from many angles and this makes it very effective, sadly this came features many problems that take any a lot of the potential enjoyment.

1: The CPU is insanely difficult to beat, near impossible to defeat, slow it down a little perhaps? Or:

2: The small playing field, where each side of the playing field is so narrow, the ball bounces back too soon, this makes it too easy for either person to get the back ball, MAKE THIS WIDER, for the love of god.

3: The arrow at the top of the screen indicating the balls position is nowhere near as useful as it should be, the arrow is too small and unnoticeable especially since it overlaps scores. If you wanted to make it much more effective, it should be larged by default, point towards the ball (down to the ball when below, up to the ball when offscreen above) and get larger/small depending on the distance from the ball/arrow, this makes things a lot fairer.

If you could fix these problems the game would be SO much better, they shouldn't even be that hard to fix since the game is so simplistic as it is.

And there you have it, that's how you win this absolutely fucking annoying "game", it's annoying as all hell but DAMN is it addictive and challenging, but most of the time it just doesn't have a rational answer that you can give. So yeah, you do have to play it over and over again, sometimes you'll just smile because of some of the extremely clever ones too though.

But really, I don't think you'll find a sense of accomplishment in this game, at all seeing as how it's too damn difficult to even do some of the tasks at times.

"Hooray, information taken from the FAQ..."

submission: The Expert's Guide to NG

date: January 11, 2007

I'm sorry but this was lack-luster and at times the information was poorly presented and based purely on opinion rather than fact.

This is ALL stuff that can be found in the FAQs and as such the information in there is far more accurate than this is, and more fair, your listed rules for reviewing don't even cover all of the guidelines.

The quizzes are absolute jokes, especially the B/p one that says you should vote 5 because someone popular or from a crew submitted a movie, and then blam someone from another crew (Banana_Clock)

I mean come on, you're telling people how to vote, you can't do that!
You might think that by telling people this that you're helping them, but you're just damaging the voting system on Newgrounds which already dodgy because of stat-whores.

As far as the design goes it's not very appealing, most of the time it's literally just boring repeating backgrounds of downloaded images from wherever with times new roman text over it, there's no coherent shape or format, it's just randomly dropped onto the frame. :\

And the music is just a choice of songs you liked, some of them don't hold too much relevance to Newgrounds.

I advise you don't even attempt to improve this, there are ENOUGH flash movies on here telling people information in the FAQs, it's absolutely asinine...

You can however work on your design skills, there are lots of ways to improve the appearance of your information, for starters it's a good thing that you've got very readable text, but it doesn't look too nice, simple things like a nice modern font like Arial on a semi-transparent shape like a rounded rectangle over a background is a good improvement for example, as well has providing borders for each individual button.

Don't give up on making flash, but avoid re-doing existing ideas like this one.
