"Huh.."

submission: L4D Short: Starring Louis

date: July 15, 2009

Is it just me, or is Louis awfully white?

The choice of stick animation was.. Unfitting. And it was a bit pointless even for a short. That said, the animation itself was actually quite smooth. So a modest 6/10 for the decent enough stick animation, I s'pose. With the amount of detail you put into that carbine, I can't help but wonder why you didn't make the rest of the animation look as good. Oh well.

Nice go anyway. Still had to laugh at chalk white Louis. :X

Score: 10

"This. This was brilliant."

submission: The Test of Doom

date: June 24, 2009

You have my five, and my ten. What more do you want?

Well, how about my word that I plan to adapt this to a minigame?:X

I watched a few other of your animations. Gravity's Just a Theory 2, thanks to the front page. Then COLOURS, and then I watched this. I must admit. I liked COLOURS more than GJAT2, but this easily topped them both. I got a little bored of GJAT2 and COLOURS because although both cute, they lacked something to keep my attention. The graphics were good, but not aural enough to hold my attention all alone. This on the other hand made up for what it lacked in graphics with good humor. The shoop lazar particularly caught me off guard and I nearly woke up some family laughing :X

My only complaint is that the dance was not as well done as it could have been. Everything else was fine. But this has inspired me to pick up making games. I've wanted to for a while now, but this definitely pushed me over the edge. And I think making a minigame out of this would be a great way to start. I hope you don't mind. When it's done, I'll let you know, and give you a link to it. Thanks for the inspiration, Oggy. Job well done. :D

"Decent."

submission: Virus Alert - "Weird Al"

date: May 9, 2007

It's been ages since I have reviewed flash.. Really.

I only really reviewed this one to respond to the guy who said Weird Al is a moron.. A nut, maybe. But it takes a lot of talent and intelligence to make a song complete with parodying lyrics within the confines of someone else's.. Not only do you have to use the same melody and instrumentals, AND create coherent lyrics.. Those lyrics must rhyme with the original lyrics. That's quite the task.

Anyhow, as for the animation itself, I found I couldn't really enjoy it because I found it hard to make out some of the vocals.. As well as the lip-syncing being off, it made it difficult to see it as very fluid.. Some of the visual humor might have been better with smoother animation.. But it's clear that a lot of work was put into this, so congrats on the effort.

4/5. Nothing spectacular, but better than a lot of other stuff. Good luck!

"I ain't much for hip hop,"

submission: CKC - Gangsta Beat

date: November 22, 2009

But this really isn't all that bad. I'll toss you a 4/5 for it. The few complaints are that the mastering is a bit rough, a bit of distortion can be good, but I think the mix is just cranked up a bit too loud and it can be heard in the rumbling from the bass drum. Aside from that, it could do with being longer. The lead itself though is pretty cool. Not bad, bro.

One other thing, you may want to edit the submission and change the name to "CKC Tribute - Gangsta Beat". Then you can pay your respects without pissing off the bloke you're trying to respect. Keep up the hard work, dude. :D

Score: 9

"This is pretty awesome."

submission: Techno Rocker v2 - RdM

date: November 17, 2009

I'm not a huge fan of voice clips for this sort of stuff, but the "Techno" bit fits pretty well actually. Not too much to say, it's pretty solid. My only problem is the odd panning of the mix. It sounds like all the elements are completely on one side or the other. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but there needs to be more to it. As it stands, it feels like it's pretty heavy on the right channel. With a more full sounding mix, it would definitely be a ten. Awesome job. :D

Score: 7

"Maybe it's just because I've not played the game.."

submission: Legends2 Elysium mother zone

date: November 16, 2009

The arp and music box(?) are easily the highlights for me. The bass is also nice. The choirs do their part but being so upfront the fakeness detracts a little bit, but that's forgiveable. Oh, and it loops pretty nicely too. The biggest problem I have is with the mastering. The mix is way too loud. There's a lot of distortion on the low end and it's killing the high frequencies with the rumble. I'd be happy to crank up the volume if you had turned down the mix, but..

Well, anyway. It's pretty alright. I actually followed a link from Moddb here, wanted to give a listen since I was considering offering my work to the project too. If I do decide to give it a shot, perhaps we can work together on it? :X

Nice song, either way. :P
