[The Show]

Did this really need streaming video?

I mean, you could have done as well with a couple drawings of a fish and a beaver bouncing up and down, and your file would have been about 600Kb. Your puppets are tiny on the screen, and they didn't really -do- much. If you're gonna do more of this, use some better puppets (that at least have some screen-visible features) and have more physical acting -- funny voices aren't enough for puppets. And tack that calendar in the back down.

I liked your drawn Flash a lot better, especially the Bumpercar Gremlin. C'mon, dude, you're better than this.

*cries*

I know.

[Strawberry's Clockday]

Happy Clockday!

After many fine submissions, this was certainly a high point for you. Your technical skill with transitions, movement and sound was excellent, and there was much of teh funney. Great job! Keep slingin' in those swfs!

[2004 Ciab:ts:tm 01]

You've been watchin' Zim

And Teen Girl Squad, if I'm not mistaken. Still, the animation was decent, and this was longer than I expected -- you obviously put a lot of work into it. The sound was good, and I liked the inclusion of your original comic as a bonus.

Thus, I am happy to have been your Saviour vote. Do even better on Part 2!

LusikkaMage responds:

Yes. Zim. Teen Girl Squad. Excel Saga. Puni Puni Poemi. :3

[Aunt Carole - Part 2/4]

A good continuation

And a fine entry in the series overall. The animation is smooth, and I always enjoy your voice acting!

One small gripe: nobody said "pimpin'" in 1988. Oh well.

[Whiny Superstars vol. 1]

Yo ho hmm

You picked a good subject -- I don't play paintball but I knew what you were talking about -- and your designs and lipsynch were good, and your sound was very clean (yay that). Your presentation was very static, though -- what would really help would be some brief dramatizations of what you're on about. Maybe Krysys could just bring in a guy spouting the excuse -- that'd be enough to break it up. And if you're that ticked about it, why isn't he flogging or keelhauling these shmoes? Now -that- would be entertainment.

Squeegee is excellent. I hope to see someone eaten by sharks next time.

Johnny responds:

Oh...just wait til I get the knack of flash I bit more. This is the 1st one I ever actually finished. Floggins for everyone!!

[Pennywise]

Decent claymation

'Though the camera still caught you in the background a couple times, and the sound level was a little low. But good movement, decent story, and some funniness. I particularly liked the "French Woods," and hope to see those boots again.

[Goamy]

Extremely basic

I hate to burst your bubble, but the way to show someone up is by producing stuff that is better than theirs -- not stuff that is the same, or worse. Like Neil Gaiman said, "The solution to bad art is to make good art, not to grumble about the bad art."

At least illwill isn't simply cobbing off someone else, which you are.

Your timing was decent, and your animation skills are decent. But it's just as tiresome to hear you complain as it is to hear Foamy complain, and as long as you've hitched your wagon to Foamy you'll always be behind him. Surely the reputation you want is not "that guy that bitches about Foamy". Do something original and interesting so you can carve out your own place on the front page! That really -would- show us all.
