[Badly Drawn Dawg Series 3]

Blah...

I feel conflicted as to how I should vote this. Part of me thinks this is cliche, tired-out, gross-out animal humor (similar to Retarded Animal Babies, Happy Tree Friends etc) . This other part of me says it's feel good, amiable, and randomly amusing. Unfortunately, every other gross-out animal flash has the same positive elements, and I don't know if this one can stand up to the competition.

Anyway, I liked the animation, even if it was a little too cheap sometimes (although I realize you intentionally made certain aspects of the animation poor, it's obvious you took some unnecessary shortcuts).

The scenes were well coordinated, although the humor was far from tasteful. I'm all for random violence etc, but I've seen all these elements in multiple other movies. It's just rehash material, basically.

The only conclusion I can come to is this flash is purely mediocre. You put decent work into it, but the content just doesn't come through as much as it should have.
Not horrible, just not great.

[Metal Gear Awesome 2]

Randomness PERFECTED.

Somehow, you've managed to perfect the art of randomness, a skill that very few are fortunate enough to possess.
This movie is seriously "LAUGH-OUT-LOUD" hilarious -- as in, laugh reaaaaallllyyy loud so everyone around you gets pissed.
What makes it even funnier is how accurate it is to the the actual game's plot, and since I'm somewhat of a fan of the series, I can appreciate the humor even more. LOL ROFL OMG!

10/10
P.S. "DAMN N***A" -- how'd you get away with that, haha? I was in tears...

[Mastermind 2]

Ominous! Better than "Tankmen"

Could someone please tell me why the hell this is ranked LOWER than TANKMEN?!! This is pure genius! Everything from the generic supervillians to the ominous music...brilliant.
I'm sorry, but this is quality you don't usually see in other flash movies. Everything is fast paced, random, yet somehow calculated as well.

Please, keep them coming. I can honestly say I could envision this on Adult Swim or something..
5/5

[TANKMEN .5]

I didn't laugh

Forgive me, but am I the only one who finds this humor really shallow and meaningless? I think not, but I'm sure most people have gotten in the habit of rating "5's" for Tankmen, probably before they've even seen the episode.
Don't get me wrong; I'm all for random humor, but this doesn't go anywhere. It's monotonous dialogue compiled with really poor gay jokes. I'll pass.

On a more positive note, I've always appreciated the art and style of this series, as well as the basic premise. I just think it's time to expand Tankmen's comedic horizons.

[Axis and Allies (4/16)]

Had a ton of potential!

Dude, this flash movie had so much potential, I was surprised you didn't do more with it! I was expecting fast-pace action, quick humor, and at least a little blood.

Instead, it moved a bit too slowly, and the humor wasn't as clever as it could have been. Plus, lacked any sort of blood, which detracted from its awesome animation.

Still, the animation was great, the art and style simple yet original, and the effects and scene coordination were well done.

I just felt you could have done more with it...
4/5

P.S. Please! Make a second one, and this time include all that lacked! You've got skillz, boy!

Thanks for the great review!

I'm going back and touching up these scenes, and then I'm going to continue with a couple more and make a feature. I will try to make it more fast-paced in both the new scenes and these scenes once i re-work them. Thanks!

[Magical Trevor 4]

Wasn't too fond of the song..

Well, compared to the previous Trevors, this one has the best animation and style.
However, I really didn't enjoy the song at all. It just didn't flow, and it wasn't catchy at all. The 1st Magical Trevor, in my opinion, had the best song.
If you could create a song that was as catchy as the original, that would be awesome.

As it is, it's got good style, but a poor tune.

[ANIMATION INVASION]

Nice!

Wow! This was really clever! The video quality was great, and all the work you put into the animation really shows.

Well, if you were looking to make a name for yourself on NG, you sure have. :)

Hope to see more of your work in the future -

[TSAH2]

TWO WORDS:

Fucking. Awesome.

That was one of the funniest collabs I've ever had the pleasure to witness!

Loved Super Flash Bros toon, and Frog's was awesome as well.

Some of my favorite scenes/lines in these shorts were:
-The part when Chief made the line about millions buying Halo 3 as a result of a useless cliffhanger.
-The part when Chief blew up his own ship.
-And the part when "language selection" menu popped up and deselected "Wortish"

Loved it -
