"Right. I'm quitting animation now..."

submission: The 10 Second Showcase

date: August 3, 2004

There is no way in hell this can be improved upon. More artists and longer segments maybe, but this thing is close enough to perfection no one can even say anything bad about it.

Everyone. And I mean EVERYONE involved in this is fantastic. Even Piconjo for once...

Score: 10

"Pretty much Perfect"

submission: Moonlight

date: August 2, 2004

The vocal samples and the file size are the only thing I can find a fault in, and even then they're only minor niggles.

We need more stuff simply of this fine quality at Newgrounds. Well done on making possibly one of the greatest toons here.

Score: 9

"Drunkduck not enough for you Sub? ^_^"

submission: Kayo Mata [ I ]

date: August 2, 2004

You know, as soon as I saw your name on the front page of NG I wondered whether it was the same guy. Didn't know you played about with Flash...

Considering you're epic drawing skills have got you into the Drunkduck compendium at least once, I'm not even going to start to comment on the artwork. The voices were okay, but nothing spectacular. Can't wait to see more.

Score: 5

"Taking lessons from Joey Blanchette?"

submission: The Straight of Scylla

date: July 30, 2004

Well it's a lot like his style used to be. Mind you, a lot of people's were once. Regardless, it was well put together and animated well.

The sound though. The sound was abysmal. Screams of pain from the decapitated guys, Oddyseus having a small moral dilemma about being caught between the two extremes.

Now. The rest of Oddyseus's twenty years away from Greece would be worthy of Front Page. Especially if it's of this quality. Keep up the good work

Score: 4

"Could be better. A lot better"

submission: Drive Bys Without Guns V2

date: July 30, 2004

It's a decent concept. But it needs a lot of polish.

As some people have already pointed out, the victims are walking backwards at a rate of forty knots. This is because your background is moving out of sync with them.

When the car comes onto the screen with the guy, the background movement should stop and so should he. This will mean you'll need to slow down the car so that it doesn't rush away too quickly.

Some of it was a bit immature, though it's nowhere near as bad as some stuff on the portal. Hopefully Version 3 will take these ideas into consideration.

I'll be looking out for it

Score: 7

"Always © your work. Especially work THIS good."

submission: Evanescence - Hello

date: July 30, 2004

It might have been yours originally, it might not have been (A link would be nice to prove ownership), but this still stands as a classic piece of animation. It's a bit empty in places and seems a bit two dimensional in others, but I doubt a professional director could do any better with such a small budget. And if Evanescense were to release this as a single, this would be the best music video that they could come up with.

Just goes to show though. Always, always, ALWAYS protect your movies and add a link to your deviantArt account on the credits.

Score: 5

"First thing. It's a sense of humour, not a scene.."

submission: Goamy

date: July 30, 2004

Now the GDE has released a lot of stuff that's been Blammed pretty much instantly here. If I remember right it was you lot who did the Linkin Park video that got Turd of the Week. I've not seen Foamy either. I look through the New Submissions and not the Front Page. So there's not a lot for me to review.

Having said all this this shouldn't have a lot going for my viewing of it. And it's nice that you put the warning up for it. Still. If this is anything to go on, Foamy does enough complaining and doesn't need parodying. It's a bold statement and I'm not sure how the community's going to take it.

Animation's slow and stocky. Sound works and Fuel is a nice ending track to play. Not a lot else though. Keep up the good work...

Score: 0

"I waited a three meg download for what?"

submission: Acid Speed P.S.A 01

date: July 29, 2004

A single frame of Robotnik telling me to drink my own urine? Wow. Inventive.

Multiple frames, some actual animation (his head doesn't even move when he's speaking for chri-sakes), decent quality sounds and... erm... plot? That'd be nice to see...

Score: 3

"Not Funny Because of Overuse of the F Word"

submission: Tom (partofthespidershow)

date: July 29, 2004

What is it with purile minds and thier obsession with the F Word? F this and F that.

It would have been funny if it had been animated, and there wasn't as much swearing. I mean, a Mantis complaining about his life with people wanting to eat his head constantly IS a pretty amusing concept.

But it wasn't animated, it was voiced badly, and every other word was Fuck.

Score: 6

"Quirky, yet powerful"

submission: Terrorist Choreogrphy

date: July 28, 2004

Now it's not often you see stuff this interesting at Newgrounds. It's not often that something with political, ironic statements make thier way here and are posted seriously and with a sense of bittersweet sardony.

The only thing letting you down was the presentation. It wasn't too impressive on how it was shown - text messages with some animation squiggles are amusing and all, but that's not all there is too it. I'm sure that a serious Rage Against the Machine style music video would have done the treat and got this baby a five from me.

Oh, and his voice repeating gets on my nerves... Sorry.
