spitfire responds:

SOUNDS GOOD, BOYO!

[Money Money Dolla Dolla]

Aww man

I like skittles but I don't have any :(

joeneato responds:

oh no! =(

[The Clay Hulk 2]

I don't know whether to hate or love it.

On one hand it's ridiculously stupid, but on the other hand its stupid in a laughable way.
On a side note, I haven't seen any claymations in a while, and as far as claymation goes, this wasn't bad. The characters weren't super-detailed but neither are most. I thought it was decent.

Stoned-Gorilla responds:

yeah it's definitely stupid in a laughable way, ahah. well i'd like to think so, anyway.

[101 War 2]

Were you even trying?

This was full of spelling errors, and places where the stick figures had exaggerated figures or said things that wouldn't occur in dialog. I didn't know there were people who still made stick animations, and now I wish there weren't any. The music was irritating, the graphics were sloppy, and there wasn't even a half decent plot.

enigon301 responds:

FYI u little pprrriicck, i do this for fun cause i get bord, im only 15 im not a fcccckiing professional i bet my skilsl better then urs anyway

[Tree Talk]

Loved It

I really hope the gradient rape (along with most of the other stuff) was intentional, but I laughed (If nothing else, the plotline was funny in bad yet good way). I imagine you already know most of the advice that people are giving in their reviews.

One question: when you say recommendations on software do you mean advice for making flash or recommendations on software to use? I could probably give you some advice for either (feel free to PM me)

snowball873 responds:

Thank you very much for the kind words and I did mean flash/recording software.

[pick pocket pete]

Yeah don't let myspace folk decide anything.

That was a dumb ending.
OTHER THINGS:
I didn't like the graphic style. I think the black borders conflicted with the old style you were going for. I also noticed the cola costs 1/20 of a cent. I think you meant 5 cents not .05 cents.
I think with time you could make some good-looking animations, though you did some stuff that should have been fixed (like the wallet that slid back into the pocket on it's own).

If you're going for comedy maybe you should add some actual plot or a gag that you know... works.

CricketJam responds:

I ment .05 cents as a joke about inflation since then, and mostly I agree i made this for an afternoon's kicks.

also, I wanted the wallet to be seen in the pocket for a few seconds b4 it slipped all the way in at an intentionally awkward pace in order for it to appear under petes hat b4 he disappears.

[Mac Mayhem]

Why is this filed under Comedy?

Mac/PC jokes are so old and unoriginal they make me want buy a VAX and install VMS on it. Aside from the voices which I couldn't stand and the so-called humor which I already mentioned the graphics weren't much good either. Honestly, get some different material next time

mraaronyuppy responds:

coming from a person who doesnt use flash and is most likely a MAC user

[Flash Portal PSA #1]

WRONG

IM SORRY BUT thIS IS RONGN AND THE sENTIMETNS EXPRESSED HEREIN ARE ROWNG AND ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTNAD YOU DO THIS IN THE BEST iNTERSTE of THe NGEworunds iTS STILL ROWNG FACT cHECK NEXT TIME PLeaSE!>

TCurrent responds:

lolol

[WOYT Obama]

Most accurate title I've ever seen

Every joke in this flash has been old since the primaries. Aside from the lackluster graphics and lame sequence where the guy doesn't move and there's dramatic music, you have failed as an author. Yeah, I realize since it's inauguration day you wanted to do something Obama-related, but come on. I couldn't laugh at this if I was in an atmosphere of pure nitrous oxide.

AwkwardSomething responds:

... And apparently, your sense of humor died during those same primaries!

Lame? My intentions were achieved!

You both acknowledge and ignore the fact that this movie was indeed a "Waste Of Your Time". Any discomfort you experienced due to this short piece was entirely your fault and yours alone. Try as you may to appear intelligent through a knowledge of gaseous elements, you still fall short by your inability to comprehend the wit.

Good day, Sir! :)

[Do the right thing.]

Salute!

You are a very good flash artist. This is an unsurpassed masterpiece and I wish I could hang it on my wall but I would have to make the frames really small to fit it all and then that would just deminish the artistic value.

In summary, the only problem with this flash is the size of my wall.

ILUVCODEMONKEYS responds:

all problems fixed over at the cc
