Im mulling over the idea of perhaps writing scripts for flash cartoons and working with animators, idk, I'm definitely no artist, nor do I have the time or money, but I love this site so would love to contribute creatively, and I love writing.

The Charlie Brown Murders

"In Xemkin's defense,"

date: November 18, 2009

no flash does not = no right to critique anyone's work. The too are entirely unrelated. So please do not tell somebody that they can not offer up their own opinion of a work because they have never produced that kind of work themselves.
If what you say is true, Darksaint787, then you have never had the right to criticize any film you've seen or any novel you've read.

Aside from that, I must agree that the story was incredibly choppy and poorly told, tho it had immense potential. Had the segments simply been brought together better and made a cohesive series of events, this would have been a truly amazing animation.
The dream sequence, in particular, was brilliant and inspired: playing off so many other psychological lapse scenes while adding its own charlie twist. It was truly well done, and made the movie easily worth 9 stars on its own. The weak narrative however, brought this story down overall.

All in all, this work is extremely creative, well animated, decently voiced, and brilliant in its parody, but poorly told and too loosely pieced together.

"weak punchline"

was interesting at first, but declined rather than rose. the end was disappointing

Author's Response:

I agree, the punchline is pretty much non-existent. Thing is, I pictured a talking stack of pancakes in my head being eaten, and then started animating it. Then I had no idea where to take it and this is the result. Thanks for the review, any criticism helps.

Madness 3D Combat

"dude....duuuude...ok"

This game could be so much better!!!! next time, make it first person, let the cursor control a crossair on the screen. It wouldnt move the persons actual view, i dont think flash can do that, but let the cursor simple control the aim of the gun.
make the gun Animated. I mean, jesus dude. thats simple.
Add a strafe function. use the qweasd keys next time.
yah.
could be better.
this sux.
and the kick back is annoying and bullshit.

Insanity Now

"dragged a bit"

submission: Insanity Now
date: September 21, 2009

drum effects were phenomenal, and the way u did the symbols was really cool.
and as a whole it sounded good,
but i felt that it stayed disjointed for too long, 1:54 to 7:31, it had a similar, nervous disjointed sound, which made sense and was enjoyable for a while, but became a bit annoying. The joy of Prog is having that reward in a song, that moment where things come together and the tension releases. u just hold the tension for too long, and dont build it up in a clear way. the release at 7:31 is fantastic, its just to far away.
but this is close to being really great, and of course ur keyboard playing and manipulation of tones is fantastic.

Atlantis City

"totally awesome"

submission: Atlantis City
date: August 30, 2009

a different style then we're used to, and there some really interesting synth work going on. I like the mood you incorporate in the beginning. and the build is incredible.
and the percussion is fantastic, of course. Since i've been hounding u about that lulz. it really is a massive step up from ur previous stuff, very intricate and timed well. Overall this piece hits the right notes when it needs to, well done!
I love this right now. keep it up!

"sounds familiar"

date: August 8, 2009

havent you used that riff before?! maybe i lissened to this and different review...im having epic deja vu. this whole song is familiar, the break down and ever. whatevs
this is still a gr8 song. and keep doing prog rock cause thats what i like! I would like to hear more complex drumming, something more than beat. but this is a gr8 song and it just keeps getting better when heard. awesome soloing. the end is extremely involving as well.

Author's Response:

lol I did have this song up as "You're a Toaster." I thought the idea was really dumb so I completely scraped the concept and remolded it into this. While the idea was retarded, I thought the music was still pretty tight so I couldn't let that go to waste haha. It sounds almost exactly the same with a slight change in production and some parts where cut out so it wouldn't drag, as well as the middle section being replaced by the solo.

So yeah. That's probably why it's familiar sounding.

Stop hounding me about the lack of complex drumming! I'm doing the best I can, dammit! Though since "Ngorongoro Monster," I did learn a few things about complex rhythms. I'm probably gonna add more drum kits and percussion sets to my songs in the near future.
