well

to be constructive:
for your first real attempt, it looks pretty good. but then again, there really isnt much to it. a few minor redesigns of sonic and knuckles. they arent even vectorized. backgrounds are all lifted from video games. you yourself didnt put much serious effort into the creation of much of this imagery. however, for a first attempt, its looks good, and the 2.61 you currently have is pretty damned good for a first try. most get blammed off the face of the planet

Blake-Zero responds:

Well Thank You for the comment. You are very much correct. Only drawings I did would been the hedgehogs. The BG was Taken from Video games and Anime Series.

Thanks for the Comment. I hope to make a better movie from your advice

funny

nice audio lift. funny standup...but im so goddamn sick and tired of this clock fruit crap!!!! its not funny! put a clock on something? what the fuck is that? and EVERYONE does it! i dont get it, its never once caught me as funny. and this lock thing is stupid too, glad it wasnt in here.

BellClock responds:

I guess it needs to grow on you. I like the clocks :).

confusing

cunt cunt cunt cunt cunt. its a friggin word, get over it. i call everything cunt, including walls. previous reviewer take note: cunt is common parlance in england, and he was using a british accent. problem is NONE OF IT MADE ANY SENSE!! im sure it was funny, if i had any idea what was going on. who was who? wtf?

SunChipsClock responds:

Yes yes, OR MAYBE! I never wanted you to know what was going on...maybe it was all part of my...EVIL PLAN! Mwuahahahahaha!

not TOO bad

at least its good to see someone still likes dune

Ahkmar responds:

Thank God I'm not the only one!

wow

new to flash? that was better than most of the drivel i see posted daily on the portal by "vets". keep it up, make em longer, and try some vocals, you could be the next legendary fro- i mean jot and ja- i mean super fla-i mean you could be good. dont worry about the preloader, i cant figure that actionscript crap out either. i just wanna draw, people! on the downside, you used "2" instead of "to" in your intro, and my wife hates you now.

dareel1lilthug responds:

Oh no someone hates me now...:( oh well thanks for the positive review!

well...

graphics are 3 because they are all lifted bitmaps. style is a 2 because once again, its all lifted from gorillaz. sound is a 5, because it was transferred well but i cant give anything higher because its lifted from gorillaz. no violence. interactivity is a 2 because there are 3 buttons to push. i know its not a game, but i cant pretend it was interactive. humor is a 1 because i find gorillaz artwork friggin hilarious. overall 5.

im new to flash too. ive been animating with it about a month and a half and i should be ready within a week or two to submit my first to newgrounds too. but mine is an actual animation. im not dissing yours though, but it is relatively simple, and as far as all this stuff on newgrounds go, its a bit bareboned. but you cant use being new to flash as an excuse. secret messages in songs is kinda a niche interest, so you cut down your audience right there. lots of people on newgrounds like the gorillaz, myself included, so we all checked this out only to discover its about making secret messages in songs. a bit confusing, no?

i think you did a good job. focus more on original content, and i think youll do fine. dont give up on flash just ebcause of newgrounds. ive been checking this site out since 1998, and ive seen it go from just a bunch of toilet humor into being the premiere flash submission site. careers are made on this site sometimes, and as a result, competition is fierce. being blammed on the first try isnt the worst thing, and you havent had that happen. just get some thick skin, and keep churning it out. feel free to email me if you need any help or just need support in the scary worlds of newgrounds.

JMUWolf responds:

im sure i dont have a future in flash.

well

the "song" sic, from numetal masters slipknot, is basically a random series of gutteral screams and frightened shrieks. so in that context you fulfilled that visually quite nicely. your fbf animations started off very amateurish but eventually began to hold up nicely. i can tell you learned a lot while working on this piece. however, if you want to do frame by frame animation, you cannot use that as an excuse to let the line quality suffer. its the fbf stuff that sets bitey of brackenwood or dad's home apart from stuff like illwillpress and the hundreds of moronic rambling ones.
as far as content, very gross, unecessarily so. but thats part of what slipknot's shock is about, is over the top grossness (well, not over the top, just over mtv's top) so in that sense you stayed true to the audio (which for anyone who didnt know, is not original, its the first track off of slipknots 2nd album)
and as far as audio goes, slipknot is really an overrated, undertalented band. this is of course my opinion, but the only member with any talent is joeu jordison, and his isnt exactly earth shattering. 3 drummers is silly, when the kit player is more than capable of playing all parts at once.
if you honestly think that slipknot is heavy and offensive or whatever, try some real metal, like burzum, dimmu borgir, emperor, opeth, or even lamb of god. these bands are not held by the same restrictions that slipknot is held by (the ones set forth by hot topic and viacom[owners of mtv]) and therefore can be as crazy and daring as they want. they also have an extreme sense of musicality. nu metal groups are purely designed for teenagers. if you truly want to be different and angry, dont take what they feed you. look outside the box, and find some truly revolutionary music. but if thats not enough for you, at least go listen to slipknots better albums. i liked that sound when it first came out, when it was called MUSHROOMHEAD.

ironbreath responds:

Hmmm, I really appreciate the review. A real good, thorough review at that. I understand that I titled the song incorrectly, but I titled the vidoe (sic) because theat's what I thought the video portrayed. As far as the whole music thing goes, I listen to all kinds of metal/heavy metal and nu metal. I listen to SOAD, slipknot, godsmack, lamb of god, cradle of filth and other stuff... i'm not a one-track minded person. your review was probably the best one i've recieved from anyone, on any of my flash movies. thanks a lot for the awesome review.

vast improvement over ep. 1

i watched episode 1. and to be honest, i hated it. i hesitated to watch episode 2, but i know how episode 1s are, so i bit. VASTLY superior to episode 1 in every aspect, from graphics to sound to voice acting to humor! funny funny funny, and i especially liked the david firth jab. keep it up

DeuceNine responds:

thanks man...i really appreciate reviews like this one..

grammar

im really so tired of people making notes about how long they took on things, or how much effort, and they cant even spell. im not looking for a grammar lesson, but jesus christ, learn the friggin language! if you dont speak english i can overlook things. either way, the first thing about this flash that jumps out is the amateurish nature of it. random sound clips dont count as audio. graphically, you need more practice. ive only been screwing around with flash for a few weeks and all my visuals look cleaner. remember, we dont know you, so your animation is our only exposure to you.. try to make it higher quality.

Flame-Reaper responds:

ok i agreee the gramma is shit, wot can i say i type to fast. But were in any part of my flash or my comentary have i mentioned how much time i spent on or how much effort the closest i came to that was saying it sounded funnier when my mate came up with the idea so before your give someone else a review weva it b gd or bad get ur facts rite.

"and in recent news, an animator on the notorious newgrounds.com went to his school, turned into a stick figure, and kept saying "pwned""
