"What's with the hype?"

submission: Metal Gear Awesome 2

date: February 29, 2008

What's with the hype? It's blown way out of proportion. Sure, the movie is entertaining and it might be funnier for viewers that actually played the game but it's not much different from the first part except the animations and drawings have more effort into them.

But 4.68? Come on! I know it's not the authors fault who probably didn't expect this either. But seeing this movie score 0.30 points over Waterlollies is like a big rancid spit in the face to all the other good animators out there. Which isn't very motivating for other authors to submit content here. I just think this needed to be said.

Score: 7

"My rant on the subject"

submission: Darfur Satire Shorts

date: February 6, 2008

I am exactly like the kid in the transformer video. Why should i feel bad about whats happening to people in conflict zones? Why should events so far away directly affect my quality of life? Why should i waste time trying to help even though i hardly have any capital or political influence in my own country, let alone across the border? Is it because else Megatron will blow up my house and family? Is that the only reason you can come up with?
Of course it is terrible whats happening over there and i am ever grateful that i don't have to live among it. But i am also realistic about how much i can do to stop the murder and rape in some far away war torn country: JACK SHIT!
Sure there are tons of ads about humanitarian aid and military intervention, they make you believe that youre helping soo much by just pouring money into their bank accounts. The truth is that if they ever by some miracle manage to solve the problems, the people that dedicated their lives and careers to helping will lose their purpose and their jobs. Their trick is to help, but not help too much, keep the fire burning, keep the fire visible through media! while tricking as many donators as possible into believing that they can extinguish it.

Entertaining animation however :)

Score: 10

"Kickass!"

submission: Uberkid's Revenge

You have some mad talent. I loved the drawings of the uberkid when he was angry. He just looks so painfully furious. Also the character design is amazing. I envy your skills :)

"Thanks for uploading the new version!"

submission: .:Black Halo:.

date: February 17, 2008

I can't believe how much better it sounds compared to the old one. Especially the part around 5:30 comes out so much better. The odd thumping noise is gone and the calm melodic part has a major improvement. You have done a great job on all your music which has been quite overlooked

Score: 10

"Nostalgia"

submission: Newgrounds Rumble Theme

date: February 3, 2008

I thought the original melody when it was still on the NG frontpage sounded a bit off. But after hearing the remix it all comes together. This is totally awesome and nostalgic at the same time. I sometimes just started the game just to listen to the music in the menu screen :D
