[Blackout (pt. 2)]

Another good episode.

I remember watching the first episode of this series a while ago, so I still have a basic understanding of what was happening in this episode. Most of the fight scenes were hardcore, I liked the clones ice laser power the best. I thought you did a good job of giving all the characters there own personality. The Sherlock Holmes recurring joke was clever, probably my favorite part of the flash.

The ability to control the text was nice, but the plot became extremely repetitive and eventually got boring. The characters constantly preventing eachother from dying became redundant, and some of the plot events were predictable. I like the music choices, all the songs fit the mood of the scenes perfectly, I especially liked the one used before the credits. I'm looking forward to episode three, keep up the good work!

Thanks sumidiotdude!

Yeah, the plot was a bit repetitive and sort of boring. And thanks for telling me about the characters preventing eachother from dying. Amazing as it may be, I didn't really even notice that. Wow. That happens like five times. Huh.

I think I really need to make the action faster, but I'm glad you liked it anyway. Thanks for the review, as always! I'm glad you liked Blackout 2!

[Conscience and Therapy]

A good, but disturbing story.

I liked the basic idea of the story. It was creepy, but it kept me entertained and directed my attention at the flash. The animation was decent, but I liked the water ripple effects you used, especially when they were in sync with the music. There were a few more tweens than I would of liked, but it wasn't that big of a deal. You chose good music too, it fit the mood of the flash very well. It was an interesting story, but hard to follow too.

Maybe you could have given more of a background check in the flash than in the author's comments. I was freaked out at the part where the soldier was carrying the dead boy on his shoulders, that was particularly scary in my opinion. It was flash that could use some work here and there, but if you stick with your storytelling ability you should be just fine. Keep up the good work!

[The Facebook Problem]

I have a Facebook problem as well.

Kudos for creating a flash that appeals to so many users on this site. By choosing a topic that everyone is aware of and addicted to, you have definately created a successful movie that many will enjoy. I thought the ending with all the status updates was hilarious, especially the "only a flesh wound" bit. All of the small jokes that you put in the flash, like the officer's name and the couple kissing, made me laugh harder than the actual storyline. Great job on that.

I thought the voice quality made it difficult to understand what the characters were saying, but the captions helped me out. The animation was nice, but I thought the ending was somewhat predictable. I was entertained by how you put the characters from your other flashes in the Facebook community, I thought that was creative. Anyway, congrats on all of your well-deserved awards, keep up the good work!

[Magic School Bus: Grade 5]

It had its moments.

When the theme song started playing in the beginning of this flash, it seemed as if I was instantly transported back into second grade, when all I did was watch television, with Magic School Bus being one of my favorite shows. The animation was decent, but everyone of Carlos's puns made me laugh so hard. Plus Arnold's evolution from a nerd to a player was hilarious, I couldn't get enough of that.

The voice acting sounding somewhat fuzzy, and the lip sync was a tad behind the voices, it became annoying after a while. This did really send me back, it makes me want to watch some of the old episodes of the show right now. Kudos on turning Ralphie into a pot smoker too, I never would have seen that coming. Anyway, congrats on your daily first and keep up the great work!

[madness boy]

Highly entertaining.

I was very impressed by your skill at animation, it looked great. Kudos for creating a storyline that kept the viewer interested at all times, my eyes were practically glued to the screen. You kept this flash very well in the spirit of Madness Day. Before the ending, I was wondering why a Madness charater would refuse to shoot, but the ending made everything go full circle.

You have an excellent ear for choosing music that fit's the mood of the flash. While it ended unexpectedly with some comic relief, I did feel sad at some points during the flash. Overall, it had a good plot that was backed up with great graphics and enjoyable music. Happy belated Madness Day to you and keep up the good work!

thanks very much

[pokerap masturbation]

I got many laughs from this.

The animation was great, each of the Pokemon looked excatly like they did in the game. My favorite parts were when you showed Aerodactyl and Ninetales. It's the really stupid humor in flashes like this that make me laugh so hard. I should have seen the Lickutung part coming, that was hilarious. Plus the random pictures were a great addition to the flash too, the one of the person dressed as James was great.

You've basically ruined the Pokerap for me, whenever I hear that song I will immediately think of this, but I suppose that is not a bad thing. The only thing I took a point off for was how it was picture after picture without any animated graphics, it just made me lose interest after a while. Aside from that, this flash was awesome. Keep up the great work everyone!

peixeaquatico responds:

Thanks man

[Ownage Crossing]

That was pretty clever.

Animal Crossing is one of my favorite games, I always am entertained by the parodies of it on this site. The part with Kapp'n in the cab was hilarious, I also enjoyed the part with the gorilla. The animation was shoddy at times, specifically when you animated the items in Nook's shop. I did get a laugh out of seeing the bootleg DVD and bag of crack in his shop though.

The music was good too hear considering I hadn't played Animal Crossing in a while. The voices were decent, though for some of the people the microphone sounded really fuzzy, you might want to change the voice resolution. Anyway, this flash had some very creative jokes to it and I thought it wasa really original. Keep in touch, I'm looking forward to watching your future works.

[Soup]

Really entertaining.

You used a song from my favorite episode of the Mighty Boosh, always nice to see another fan of the show on this site. I haven't seen the episode Soup was from in a while, did the song end so abruptly? I remember it being longer. Anyway, I thought the animation was excellent. I can definately see the Weebl influences you were talking about. Plus the song will be stuck in my head all day.

The song was in somewhat low quality, but it wasn't anything to take points off for. My favorite scene was when the two soup bowls were fighting in the dojo. I also liked the part at the end with all the soup cans on the hill. Overall, it was a really soup-er flash (pun fail). This flash really made me hungry too, haha. Anyway, keep up the excellent work my friend.

Graeme responds:

I've only ever seen this episode and Old Gregg. Haha. We don't get the show in Canada sadly. So all I've seen was just on a buddies computer. This song particularily captivated me. This was it for the song though. It's not very long.

Thanks man :)
I had to take the song from a YouTube video, so the quality fits accordingly.
And don't worry, I forgive your awful pun. Haha

[Phoenix Wrong: Ace Boosh]

A good start.

This was pretty impressive for your first flash. I'm a big Mighty Boosh fan so I was entertained by the sound bite, it was just as funny here as it was on the television. The lip sync was delayed at times which got to be pretty annoying, but the movement went together with the audio pretty well. The mallet hitting the table sounded louder than most of the other sounds which didn't really seeem fitting.

You might want to add a preloader just to be safe. It may not be necessary for a small file like yours, but it still makes the flash look a lot nicer and less cluttered. Good job on this for the most part, it was nice to hear some audio from my favorite show mixed with one of the best games to play. I'll recommend your flash to the Phoenix Wrong collection too. Keep up the good work!

[Dick Neck: Origins]

Pure brilliance from beginning to end.

Many people have tried to parody Dr Foreman's ridiculous thread, but no pardoy will ever be greater than this one. The animation was very impressive, great job on the frame by frame stuff, the scene when Dr Foreman woke up in the hospital looked beautiful. I have to give many kudos to Rumerio for writing such a thrilling plot that made me want to continue watching the whole thing. Great job on this everyone, it was perfectly made and thoroughly entertaining.

I thought the part where Dr Foreman and Lord Turnip were in the school moved pretty slow, but it wasn't anything I should take point off for. The music also fit each scene perfectly. Will there really be a sequel, or are you just playing a gag on us with the evolved LordTurnip at the end? Either way, this a BBS lurker's nirvana, you approached every aspect of the thread and parodied it extremely well. Keep up the excellent work, I am highly impressed.

Galneda responds:

Although I approached many different aspects of the thread, there were still many parts I had yet to touch up on, and with just about every other review begging for a sequel, I'm beginning to reschedule a couple of projects I had intended to finish up before 2010.

Also, I think it requires closure...so, in short, Yes. There will be a sequel in the future.

Thanks for the review, I needed feedback on things like pace issues...that was a bad point in my last flash, so I'm still kinda working on that. :D
