"A fun quiz."

submission: The Persian Quiz

date: December 14, 2009

I had to dig for a lot of these answers, I learned all of this last year in my world history class, so remembering the answers was really fun. The quiz had a nice layout, but adding some pictures or other sounds would have been more appealing to the viewer. The information was laid out nicely, I'm certain you got a good grade from your teachers, I definately learned stuff from it. I like how you emphasized the key points after every section as well.

The part that really made me laugh was when you said Amabo was Obama backwards, the silly logic was funny. One thing I would recommend is changing the text color on the title screen. I like the sand background and whatnot, but the white font was difficult to read. Overall, I enoyed participating in this neat quiz, even if it is educational, haha. Anyway, keep up the great work!

"Pretty good."

submission: StagB Finds a Home Pt1

date: December 14, 2009

I find these Stagbeetle flashes amusing since everybody represents and depicts Stagbeetle in so many different aspects. I was never a fan of Ren and Stimpy, but I recognized the music immediately. The voice acting was good, but it was somewhat hard to understand what the characters were saying over the loud music. You did a swell job of giving each character their own distinct personality, it's amazing how the simplicity of voice acting can transform a flash.

It seems silly that you split a flash that was a minute long into two parts, but I suppose time will reveal what is in the future for Stagbeetle. Overall, I thought the animation was good and it was backed up with some nice voice acting. I'm looking forward to viewing the second half of this episode. Keep up the good work my friend, and happy belated Stagbeetle Day!

Score: 10

"Very good."

submission: Saturday the 14th Fun

date: December 13, 2009

It is great to see talent at such a young age, your animations never fail to impress me, Chad. I should have expected the scream, by the time it came, my headphones were turned up full volume and I nearly fell out of my chair in fright. The concept of the flash itself is very creative, I thought it would be something along the lines of them surviving, but I like how you put your own twist to it.

The voice acting was a little scratchy, but it was still easy to understand the characters. Did you record the scream or get it online? Either way, you succeeded in scaring the hell out of me. The animation was great, I loved the flashlight moving back and forth. Anyway, this was another entertaining flash of yours, it was great from beginning to end. Keep up the excellent work!

Score: 7

"Better than I expected."

submission: Bizzaro Tom Episode 2

date: December 13, 2009

Despite this being a spam flash, I was actually impressed by what I saw. The animation was excellent, the style you use is very amusing. The music in the flash and in the intro were both good. While I am unsure of the purpose of the flash, I was entertained from beginning to end, I was always unsure of what to expect next. The funniest part was seeing the montage of all the devils in the background, I even noticed the South Park one back there, haha.

The thing that really caught my eye was the way you animated Jesus. The motion of him moving back and forth was enjoyable, but the scene after it was excessively tasteless. The voices could also use some better quality, but it was beneficial that you added captions. Anyway, I am looking forward to the next episode of this odd series. Keep up the good work!

Score: 7

"I'm left speechless."

submission: Bitchtitties The Clown

date: December 13, 2009

I'm really unsure of what I just watched, but I enjoyed it. It could have used some more animation, as most of it was still frame or serious motion tweening, but the animation was good. I loved the expression on the child's face when the clown went up and licked him, it was immensely disturbing but I was entertained by every second of it. The sound could be louder and needs some improvement in clarity though.

The music that was included matched the mood and strangeness of the flash very well, I also was impressed how good the lip sync was, that is a difficult skill to master. Also, the priest part was so seemingly random it was difficult not to laugh, how you came up with a concept like this I will never know. Anyway, thanks for making me laugh and keep up the good work!

Score: 2

"Not in my particular interest."

submission: Smoke Weed Everyday

date: December 13, 2009

The animation really wasn't anything to stare at, I didn't like how the character's did not move. The audio was actually very funny, but it seemed like it went on way too long. If you would have cut the audio right after the part when the guy compares himself to a sponge you probably could have raised the score for this flash a bit. Just curious, did you make the audio, because for something made up on the spot it was actually pretty clever.

The audio got very redundant, so some more animation would have made the flash more appealing to the viewer. This is the flash portal, so I really shouldn't be basing my review on the audio. Anyway, add more animation and take away a large portion of the unnecessary audio, that way the flash can be short and to the point. Anyway, you have a good start, so keep up the good work.

Score: 6

"A decent episode."

submission: Life in Clocktopia #7

date: December 13, 2009

I always thought you drew your own version of Strawberry Clock and Nef, but I was surprised you just cut those out from Google. The storyline was getting pretty monotonous by the time the newscast was on. It seemed like you chose the scenes with promise to be really short, and the parts that were dragged out seemed to be unnecessary. I thought the forest background you animated was good, so I would recommend trying to draw your own characters for the next episode.

I started laughing when Bad Day was playing, not because it fit the scene well, but due to the fact it was so overplayed upon release that it become a funny song to hear. I also recommend adding subtitles, mainly because the Clocks were difficult to hear once a song was playing and their regular Speakonia voices are challenging to decipher as well. Anyway, these episodes are all running together, I would advise you to add some personal flair to them, they are in need of it. Keep up the good work.

Score: 8

"That wasn't too bad."

submission: Report: Lord Of The Flies

date: December 7, 2009

Lord of the Flies is probably the best book I ever had to read in school, so I thought this was a clever interpretation of what happened in the book. I liked the comments that the teacher would say to the kid sitting at his desk, the part with the mean face was exceptionally funny. I thought the microphone quality was pretty scratchy, it made it difficult to understand what Johnny was saying, that and the fact that he was muttering words incredibly fast. The ending was funny as well, I definately did not see that coming.

I found it pretty lame that you had to quote your own flash in this one. The whole Pokemon cards line from the Megapokedigimangs really seemed unnecessary for this flash. In all due respect, I enjoyed the flash by itself, but setting yourself up like that in such a sense that you have to resort to included your more famous work on a brand new topic seems incoherent.

I found it interesting that you there was much relevence in the plot in Johnyy's report, but the book would have been better if Ralph and Piggy said "not cool". The animation was very nice, I like the way you animated the student's face when he was crying. Overall, it was a well done flash, but it featured several execution errors in my book. Anyway, keep up the good work you two.

Score: 8

"Nicely done."

submission: Edd Egg - Werewolf

date: November 26, 2009

I've always been curious about this Edd Egg series, and so far I am impressed. The animation was good, but there was tweening in just about every scene, it was distracting from the actual plot. The nonsense with Amy looking for the stream or whatever rambled on incoherently for way too long, I really began to lose interest from watching it. It was a clever idea for a storyline though, taken right out of a horror movie.

I thought the voice acting was great, Edd's voice is amusing. The joke about the vampires was creative, that was probably my favorite part of the whole movie. The music fit the mood of the flash very well, I thought the ending credits song was a funny addition as well. Overall, it was a nice Halloween flash that had good characters and storyline, but lacked in several areas. Anyway, keep up the nice work!

Score: 9

"That was clever."

submission: LL- Amusing

date: November 26, 2009

So far the flashes I have seen that debuted on Ban Day were funny, so it looks like it was a successful holiday for you guys. The animation was great, I love how you took the simple character designs of Locks and put them into your own creative style. One recommendation I would say is that the Speakonia voice that the Clocks and Locks use is difficult to understand at points, I think it would be beneficial to add subtitles or captions to help the viewer understand what is going on.

The ending was hilarious, I truly did not expect that to happen at all. I am somewhat unfamiliar with the Lock Legion, is the zombie eating the turtle an actual Lock? If so, that is just pure brilliance. Anyway, I'd say this is just short of being a perfect flash, I found this to be very funny and a fitting tribute to the Lock Legion. Keep up the great work!
