Mechanus's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[LOL Incarnate]

ICE ICE BABY FOREVER!

What does that mean? Nothing. It's just that I feel this movie is good enough to earn a Vanilla Ice Reference. I'm glad the crew has people like you (If you ever see me on the BBS, my username in the Crew is Mechanus, but that might be a while, as I failed to recieve the E-mail for registration and am waiting for Leek to respond to the PM I sent him about it. This was an absolutely wonderful animation, it made me laugh from the heart. Keep being awesome. Make more great stuff and spread Clock Love. ;)

Beautiful

That was touching. Honestly guys, there are other crews that you can join, as some of you are too talented to be let go. I used to hate the Syndicate, mostly because you wouldn't shut up about flash developers who had major flaws. I'm not sure anymore that I like the idea of you guys being gone... Some movies make me nearly cry. This is one of them. Farewell, stars, and good luck.

Yes

An absolute masterpiece. The one single thing that isn't perfect is that the yellow bird thingy in the beginning (Excuse my not knowing its name) looks a tiny bit off. Not the entire beginning sequence, I mean when it's still in Bitey's dream (please tell me I didn't use the wrong name, I'm not very good at this, am I?). It's funny how a lot people think "That guy could get a job at a major animation studio with the stuff he's doing", when you've already been working at Disney for 11 years (The cool people section, if I'm correct, not the section that focuses on producing the thinnest plotlines ever and movies that entertain no-one and have no purpose except to sell merchandise to 8-year olds. Although I guess that doesn't really matter for you though, because if what Stamper said is true, you work in Effects, so whether the people in charge of making good characters and plots can do their job is irrelevant. Seriously dude, tell your manager that your animation and storytelling abilities dictate that you should be promoted to demigod. May I have a pet prowlie? Pleeeaaassseee?

If you were wondering, yes I used every aspect I could think of to boost the violence and interactivity ratings. " It has at least five clickable buttons, and they look pretty. That's a six right there. The uellow bird thingy was bombarding the tree with ballistic fecal matter. That is freaking seige, As we all know, the animation is VERY graohic, so that means that violence gets 10.

I agree that the scripted V-cam is great. I'm using it in the intro for my upcoming game, Claw of the Golden Tiger, which is to be the first in a long saga of stories and animations.

Furthermore, I am aware that many of you reading this may be like, NO WAI, you always say you're gonna do it and then you don't!
Well, at this point, its in a state where I could release it, but I'm waiting because I plan on adding better graphics to the animations, more levels, many, many more secrets and extras, several levels of difficulty, lots of different obstacles, such as traps. If you want proof, PM me.

Mr. Adam Phillips person sir, I'm sorry if the review didn't focus entirely on the animation. The fact is, It is so perfect that I can barely make any comments except, Do you want a free lolipop? Also, where I was drifting off-topic it was actually kind of still on topic. In addition, it seems that I am trying to make a really, really long review, so I'm going to add some more comments. You are a spectacular storyteller; I can see why Disney hired you. Your website was very clean, yet casual and very informative, not to mention entertaining. When I read about how you plan to put hidden content in future stuff that you have to unlock by different methods, such as translating a sequence of colors from from Sanus (or whatever you call the Yu-Yu language) to english, It made me happy. It really adds a whole new layer of depth. In a way, it reminds me a little bit of myself. With my new game thats coming out, I realized that the storyline/plotline of the character's adventure wasn't too long and an experienced player could beat it quickly. I then started adding in bits of stuff. Jell-o puddin pops here, secret levels there, a healing aura up there, little stuff. I have found that it really makes stuff a lot more interesting. I didn't know that your animations could get any more interesting. It amazes me how realistic your characters look with only a few colors used in them ( for the most part). You should remember that you are a major, major inspiration to aspiring animators/game devs like myself. People have said: Aspire to Inspire before you Expire. I don't know if it was a goal or not, but you are a definite inspiration. I'd say you completed that goal unless you are composed partially or primarily of sour milk. In that case, you still inspire. Please keep up the good work, You are argueably the greatest animator of all time.

[Sockclock has fun!]

You learn fast

Two and a half weeks? You've only been using flash for two and a half weeks? There a people I know who would take two and a half weeks to make this, let alone learn to use flash. Very good for a beginner. I suggest having the intro more animated. All though you might have been going for the look you got, It looks nicer for it to have nicer animation, and it doesn't take long. I enjoyed the random factor, which is good for a short like this, but not a full length animation. Also, I'm glad to hear you're coming to the Clock Crew. We are lucky, we have the two greatest flash communities at our fingertips: the NG BBS, and the Clock Crew (I know some of you think that the CC is bad at flash, but that is a common misconception. It's just that some of them enjoy making crap flash for fun. Most of them are elite flashsmiths, and, on occasion, 1337 h4X0r dung30nm4570r d00ds.)

HoboPorn responds:

Thats cool I get tired of the crap flash sometimes to but mostly it's non clocks making them. Yeah I would make the intro more interesting but i'm still trying to mess around and find a good one that gos with me.

[Gold!]

Great.

This was highly entertaining, you seem to know how to make the funnies. I hope you make more stuff like this, I enjoyed the fact that it was clock-related but still very original. The scene with SBC was hilarious. I joined the Clock Crew just yesterday, and I'm glad that there's proof that not all clocks are bad at flash (We all know that many of them are).

MahjongClock responds:

Why, thank you! I appreciate the comments. The SBC scene is my favorite as well.

[Story of Khale Trailer]

A worthy first place animation

Congratulations, you have well earned the honor of having this animation in first place. This was beautifully done, everything was great, and you even added a bit of humor. I think we are all excitedly anticipating the full animation.

[eBaums world dot com]

Delicious

This was an absolute masterpiece. There is no room for improvement. You win at internets. I especially liked the message at the end explaining that Bauman actually had his site call pages from somethingawful, which in my opinion is like identity theft, because you are spending their money on something you want without their consent. That finishing touch made the animation special (not that it wasn't already special). Also, I suggest that one of you call up ebaumsworld's HQ, and get them to put eric on the line. Then put on this song at max volume and hang up once its over. I think that would leave a VERY strong impression of how everyone feels. I'm now a fan of yours.

Note: There was a time when I liked ebaums, but that was back when I was oblivious to the fact that he steals content.

[TooF Six]

Whatever

Seriously, there is no reason for you to be insulting Toof. Sure, the guy reuses lots of the graphics and uses motion tweens alot. That doesn't mean its bad, it means he's efficient. Anyway, even if that made any difference, the author of Toof still has a sense of humor, and from this flash, I would say YOU don't. About your complaint about the graphics: Look who's talking. It might have overused graphics, but the graphics in this animation aren't even worth looking at. Seriously, you are in no position to whine about Toof. I think you owe someone an apology.

Also, your work needs improvement. The graphics, sound, animation, and plot were all faulty. Please put more effort into your next submission.

[The White, The Black]

Good

I liked this overall, but I think in parts it just gets a bit boring. But why should I complain? Make more stuff like this, but try to give it a slightly faster pace.
