Why do all the nuts come out on a full moon ?

[Almost Serious Suicide : Foamy The Squirrel]

Suicide ..

I don't think everyone has forgotten that GC is fictional. It's the ramifications of suicide itself. It's not funny. It's a cry for help. To taunt and tease it in this manner, to use your terminology is just not cool.

The BIC pen with the exploding head was amusing. The 5 More Minutes was very funny.

Suicide is not funny.
It never will be.
Case and point.

IWP, very good story, animation. Questionable content. However, it's your ride here so take it for what it's worth. :)

[Tellest Revolution:Ep1Pt2]

Pretty good ..

The music is what made this Flash most enjoyable.
Very nice selection. Were you recording this at 12fps ? Please use 30fps next time. Sprites were scaled a bit too high, takes away from it.

Interesting story. Might like to read it if you ever get it published as a novel. :)

David

[Star Wars Karaoke]

Nicely done ..

Not the Flash, but your style.

You were made for better things than this.

Stretch yourself, find a comfortable niche of excellence and stick with it. You have some real Flashbuilding talent ! :)

David

[In the blink of an eye...]

Very nicely done ..

I would rate higher but you slashed the wrist in the wrong location. You do it directly across just below the palm and you can't cut slow like that. It has to be fast and hard or you never wind up doing it at all.

Visually it should appear like red pearls are jumping out. The blood sprays and does hit the face. If you cut deep enough, which I did, the flesh burbles out like rubber-bands underneath the opening.

You can't walk around in a daze like that without spraying blood everywhere, when he went to go for the pills, his wrist was fine. Not artistically correct.

Generally you run a bath after you've consumed the pills and get in it, clothed if you like, so the blood can flow freely and not clot.

It's a good attempt at suicide but sometimes you have to live it to know it. :)

firetrap responds:

he isnt actually cutting his wrist - it's more self harm. im not sure, but i believe the cut wouldnt be visible in the pill scene, either, due to the angle of the cut, thank anyway, though :)

[Monotone]

Well ..

Flickering backwards book with Play printed also backwards is not a positive entrance.

Good original graphics, nice Beatles music.
Animation matched music closely.

Nice. :)

David

MonkeyClock responds:

It was actually Shakespeare =)

I can't help noticing you voted incrediby low despite your good review, what's going on there?

[The Calm Bay]

Vote withheld until I know..

David

[The world against you]

Well ..

Everything was GREAT until the canned laughter.
It didn't need it. I laughed on my own.
Really took away from it. You should re-release this minus the canned laughter. Honestly I don't know ANYONE using canned laughter today except sitcoms and they do it to "force" something funny. Sad really.

David

[Xombie: Chapter 3]

Clean like a razor ...

DAMN I love your work ! :)

Aboveboard excellence in graphics, animations, presentation, and story. Period.

Very nicely done !

David

[Quick Stix1]

Pretty good ..

One small problem. You have added pretty close to an entire track of audio music to it. If you use streaming audio, you won't have this problem, and your final SWF will be quite a bit smaller. :)
