"Very Nice"

submission: Jinas 1: A New Friend

date: October 11, 2007

I haven't written a review in quite a while. But since you came out of your cave with this piece, the least I can do is come out of mine and write a review.

I've always enjoyed your cartoons, and this one is a magnificent improvement! The style is of course your own, though it's nice to see such detail in even the tiniest of background elements. The pacing of your story is very well done--a rarity of even the top weekly flashes. The length of your episode is also nicely chosen--not too long to get bored, yet does not fall victim to being t short as many episodic flashes tend to do. In addition to the great art direction and the pace of the storytelling, the voice acting really stands out as amazing. Andy does a great job, and Laura's small part looks promising (though her character appears as though she will be a burden :) ). And finally, the choice and detail to the music is equally magnificent--not overbearing and nearly unnoticeable at times which perfectly compliments the dialogue and on-screen action.

Congrats, AITD. I look forward to episode two and your other flashes in between.

"Nice.."

submission: Good Morning!

date: February 12, 2007

Very Nice. One of the best things in this animation was the timing. It didn't even have to be funny--the tempo was enough for me to keep watching even if it kept on going. More often than not I am forced to close a cartoon because it doesn't hook me in the beginning, but yours had very smooth timing both in the animation itself and keeping with the music.

Also, very Luis. As soon as I saw the opening screen I had to double check to see if I had accidentally clicked on a Luis animation without realizing it. They style was kept throughout the animation. It was only appropriate to see the pube cameo :)

Good work.

"Better than most of your fluff"

submission: Quiz Challenge: NES

date: April 29, 2006

Well, finally you can switch from a pathetic quasi-porn quiz to another pop-culture quiz.

You're submissions never really seem to have much value and seem more of a pathetic tool to drive small bursts of traffic to zipperfish. This one seemed quite odd, as I got all but one on impossible but missed multiple on the second and third most difficult levels.

It would have been nice, rather than just assuming what games you thought were harder or easier to guess from, if you had actual levels of diffictuly, or different modes of play. Say, the first level was to guess the game. The next was guess the character, and the impossible was guess the level or something rediculous.

Overall, hope this fluff of a game boosts traffic to your website (prob not as much as your fluffy girl quizzes). It wasn't too bad; but rather too easy to see that you could care less about making a good game and care more about getting those clickies to your website's banners. I know you can do better.

"Just when I thought you've hit a wall."

submission: Sock Episode 2: Ptikobj

date: December 8, 2005

Well David, I'll be honest. I've admired you're work and you're style. However, recently I've felt that you may have exhausted you're theme, being that your other series seem very similar with just different chracters (although, I love the execution of the hand-drawn paper).

Then you hit me with this short. It's refreshingly different, yet eerily similar. It's easy to tell it's a "Firth Film," yet it seems to run perpendicular to your other shorts, which is very nice.

Nice work and thank you,
Rege

"Nice Job"

submission: Pinky and Stinky

date: August 20, 2005

Pretty Slick and a nice style you have here.

I just really wanted to tell you that you have your perception wrong when he was running. Things in the foreground should move past the screen faster while things in the background move slower (the houses).

Keep up the good work!

"Good Work"

submission: Build Me Up Buttercup

date: July 5, 2005

I liked it, this was pretty well done. I'd have to say that Butterfly Smasher and McBean had the sweetest animations with honerable mention to boxKitten. The others were sweet, but these jumped out at me. Overall, good job to everyone.

PS - It's the Foundations--forgot the "o." Also didn't give credit to the musicians that the entire flash is based upon in the actual flash movie (like, perhaps under "credits"). To each his own, I guess.

"Ouch.. nice game :)"

submission: Muscomorpha

date: June 18, 2005

Didn't even notice this was you guys.. well, it's an absolutely stunning game. Visuals are very sweet, good job Luis, and the programming/mechanics are very tight, amen NegativeONE.

But, I must inquire, no credit listed at all for me? Not even under Misc Support? Ouch... I guess the voices weren't that integral.. :(

Also, NegativeONE, I only encountered a few bugs (prob just freak occurences), but figured I'd list them for you.
1) One time the loader fully loaded, but nothing happened.. weird. No big deal though.
2) In the caverns, after falling down the big gap under the first blade, instead of warping to the previous land mass, I warped to a few ahead, a tall skinny one with the fat slug guy on it--though, I'm not really complaining on that one :)
3) And once falling down the same gap, I warped backwards to the caverns start, offscreen somewhere, and just kept dieing until all the lives were out.

Well, that was fun, good work!

"Okay..."

submission: Theoden, Horsemaster

date: December 21, 2004

Well, this was a worn to death idea, however it was executed smoothly. You obviously do know what you are doing in flash. High quality snapshots were also nice to see, but still, no graphical standpoint at all, hence the zero.

The sounds was well recorded. It sounded like you may have spiked a few times with the yelling, but for the most part, the voice overs were well recorded and free of hiss.

That about ends it. The story didn't do it for me, it wasn't funny, nor even a parody of LOTR in the first place. A parody is a mockery of a work, this was just a dumb story with snapshots from the movie, it could have been any movie's snapshots with the same dumb story.

I realize from reading the reviews, that people are going to mark this unhelpful, eventhough it is an honest and a full review free of anytype of prejudice or hatred. But what can you do.

-SAR

PS (unrelated to the movie and score), but your website sucks. Get rid of the buggy javascript and frames.

"Matt Damon"

submission: Retarded Animal Babies 11

Haha.. obscure Team America reference. That was great.

This episode was ok, not the best i've seen from the RAB series as of late. Still quality though.

"You got the Roger Moore.."

submission: The Fly Who Loved Me

date: December 12, 2004

Hudos for getting the Roger Moore, the third best James Bond, for the voice. I thought it was exceptionally voiced (this was before I read the comments--and so there it was).

The animation was smooth and very nice. The style was simplistic, yet it was pulled off flawlessly.

The story was cliche, but then what santa/christmas/holiday tale is not?

Good job!
