"Something is lacking here, but it's decent."

submission: DrumKit v.1 Beta

date: June 28, 2004

I think you did a great job at making something "fun", but this really seems to lack the ability to do anything more than make noise. I thought your integration of the mouse and keyboard was impressive, but what really made me give this a low score were (what I thought) the sound effects that you chose to give the various drums/cymbals. I don't ever remember a hi-hat sounding like a tom.
At any rate, I thought you still did a fine job on this, which kept me from giving it a "Blammable" score.
You might have something here if you work on it more and present the ability to actually play this kit.

Score: 6

"I can really appreciate your attempt."

Trust me, if there's anyone here on the Portal who can appreciate what you were trying to do here, it would be me.
I have to say that I was expecting something of rather poor quality, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that you decided to take your time with a little bit of frame by frame animation. I was also pleased that you decided to take an original approach by following your own storyline, too. I know how hard it can be to do something like this, and this was a decent attempt at a classic. Keep practicing, and make more if this is your style. God knows, someone needs to bring back the classic animation style.
Good job!

Brent.

"I thought this was really good."

submission: Konstantin

The only real complaint I have about it is that it ends way too abruptly. With such a large file size and quality animation, I was expecting a lot more in your story. Still, you executed it beautifully, and your backgrounds were excellent. Good job!

Score: 9

"Great parody!"

submission: Kung-fu 8-bit fight

What sold it to me were the points that kept popping up every time he made a hit. This was funny as hell, and I definately laughed. I hope you have some more ideas for this.

"There were some things holding this back."

submission: Love To You

date: November 18, 2003

This movie was pretty damn good as far as I'm concerned, but it sort of fell apart at the end when the music stopped... It had a feeling that it kind of dragged on a little longer than it should have. But, that's a minor problem when compared to your ability to animate with Flash. Also, try to compress your music a lot more than you did since there's no reason for this to be over 5 Megs. I think this movie's great, and it actually had a pleasant feeling to it with the ending.
Congratulations on your happiness with her, by the way.

Score: 8

"Damn, that was funny!"

submission: B00T CAMP

date: November 13, 2003

You must be in the Army, because that's exactly how it was when I got to Ft. Knox last summer. I wished it was a lot longer, though. Still, it was funny as hell. Especially when he turned into a clone after his hair was cut. Only two kinds of people at Basic... There're those with BCG's and those without!

Score: 5

"Reminds me of basic training!"

submission: D.A.F Level 1

date: September 24, 2003

I don't really like having to shoot them in the head to kill them, but hey, it's supposed to be hard, right? I've heard about Swift 3D that's supposed to be able to create some great 3D graphics for Flash. Haven't been able to check it out yet, but maybe that's what you're looking for.
I liked this game. Just like the pop up "Ivans" at Ft. Knox this past summer.

Score: 0

"You shot yourself in the foot with the clown."

submission: Quantum Mechanics

date: September 24, 2003

I have to echo what everyone else is thinking about this... Why on earth would someone who's capable of creating something so good completely fuck it up with a clown with it's dick out. Were you working on this on a public computer and forget to close your document when you left so that a 13 year old in puberty had the opportunity to finish it for you?
I'm sorry, I gave you a 10 for the graphics in the beginning because they truly are great, but the clown... BLAM!
