"Brilliant work"

submission: hitchHiker: part Two

date: April 9, 2004

I haven't been hanging around Newgrounds as much lately because, frankly, I'm getting tired of most of the content. But this was amazing work. I wasn't so sure after viewing part one, but part two definitely made it worth the download.

Excellent animation and artwork and an even more impressive storyline. It's much more effective that the main character doesn't talk. That's a nice touch.

I was surprised by the voice acting. It was actually pretty good, as was the sound quality for the most part.

I watched one of your other pieces and immediately stuck it in my favorites. I think I'll have to do the same for this and I'll definitely be checking out the website.

Good stuff.

"Not a bad product"

submission: Where's Ollie?

date: December 17, 2003

But, you're right, we've seen it before. I ended up voting zero because I tend to think it's really lame to submit something a second time just to have an account with a better batting average. Once you've submitted, there's really no reason to submit the same thing again. You're just taking up server space.

That said, it's a decent product. Pretty original idea, but a little too hard for me. You could obviously improve the graphics and movement significantly and that music is reeeeeeally annoying. I would have voted a three on this.

At any rate, not bad, but move on and submit new stuff.

Score: 6

"I'm torn on this one"

submission: Killing Spree IV - Part 1

date: December 2, 2003

The animation was quite good despite the fact that the characters were sticks. might have given a 10 for graphics if not for that.

i gave a 10 for violence, but in my opinion, thats not always a good thing. i couldn't tell if i was supposed to think this was funny or if i was supposed to take this seriously, or perhaps a little of both. im not real enamored of this blow up the school idea. doesnt really work for me. sounds like its targeted toward a pretty young audience . . . middle school maybe.

male voice acting was decent, the female parts could use a little work.

my biggest pet peeve when it comes to work on newgrounds is that no one seems to proofread what they do. you all spend time making great work and then blow it over some easily fixed grammar. check it before you submit. in this case im referring to the fact that you wrote principle instead of principal.

Score: 9

"Brunching comes to Newgrounds"

submission: Kev Smith's magic feather

date: November 17, 2003

nice work. i miss the website. bought your book a few months back. quite possibly the best purchase i've made all year. makes good out loud reading.

kevin smith is a pompous jerk so it would seem to me. his beard is definitely what's keeping his career going. God knows it isn't his scripts.

ok, i'll make an exception for dogma.

at any rate, liked the cartoon. hope to see regular stuff from you here.

Score: 8

"heh heh heh"

submission: Tricky bangbanggooberblat

date: September 22, 2003

Saw this awhile ago, but thought I'd comment on it now.

I can understand why non-Newgrounds regulars might be upset after they clicked on this, but to the rest of you, he's right. you really should have known what was coming.

I thought this was a pretty funny animation. always interesting to watch Madness Jesus get wacked on the head by a Madness clown. Good stuff.

Score: 8

"heh"

submission: Poring Hunt

date: September 15, 2003

I generally cant stand anime but for some reason beyond my comprehension, i found this funny.

smooth animation, matches well with the music and its a pretty funny concept.

one of the other reviewers mentioned this was based on a game or something. ive never heard of it, but it looks sorta humorous.

worth a look.

Score: 10

"Very rare"

submission: The PIT.

date: September 10, 2003

You'll almost never see me give a stick animation a positive score, but this was some good stuff. Very original work.

Loved how random it was. The animation was smooth and the music and sound flowed well.

Keep up the good work guys.

Score: 10

"Well done"

submission: Hell On Earth- Episode 1

date: September 10, 2003

Dane Cook did this? That's pretty damn slick. Love that stand up routine of his they show on Comedy Central roughly 16 hundred times a month.

Animation and artwork were pretty damn good and the voice acting was of course awesome.

Who did the voice of the demon baby? Sounded like Gollum.

At anyrate, can't wait to see the next installment. Good stuff.

Score: 5

"meh"

submission: Mario Babies 6

date: August 1, 2003

well, it was slightly better than previous episodes ive seen but overall its still garbage. sorry fellahs. someone had to break it to you.

ill give you credit for one thing: unlike your other attempts, this one seemed to have a coherent storyline . . . for the most part. but other than that i cant say a whole lot positive about it. using sprites isn't exactly an impressive graphical feat and that coupled with the fact that this was pretty unoriginal adds up to a less-than-satisfactory result.

having yoshi spin out of the sky was slow, tedious and really not funny at all. you really could have done with out that.

maybe next time.

Score: 7

"hmm, not sure about this one"

submission: Boat People

date: July 31, 2003

i dunno what to say exactly. it was interesting but it left me a little confused.

by starting it off with the credit that mentioned it was a "fresh off the boat production" i was given the impression this was supposed to be a joke, but what followed was a semi-dramatic music video. of course, the "homeless boat people foundation" or whatever it was called at the end kinda made me think this was humor again and if its not, then you need to rework this and set the tone for the piece correctly.

the animation for the boy (especially when he runs toward the bombs) was very choppy. if this was supposed to be a joke, then i can sorta see why you'd do that, but otherwise, no.

nice music choice. you can almost always find a moby song to go with something. all in all, this wasn't bad, just a little bit unclear.
