[I hate MAC ads]

One funny part...

The Tux part was rather amusing, that's where the stars are coming from.

For the most part however, it was not funny, nor reflective of truth. None of the Mac VS PC ads are based on opinion, they just tell you things that are absolutely TRUE, beyond dispute, and let you make the decision yourself.

This has been done many times before, and every time it's people just dissing the ads, without any ammo. You don't have any points, the closest you have is "all computers suck" but you don't have any reasons why or anything.

I don't really mind dissing of Macs as long as it has decent reasons to do so, the problem is they are quite honestly hard to find. Fact is, they just don't break down as much as PCs do, that's just the way it is. Not trying to be a fanboi or say that Macs are completely infallible....but they are generally not going to break down as easily, the plain and simple truth.

This isn't a very good parody.

Bobert-Rob responds:

They always talk about the good points of macs and the bad points of PCs, so yes, they ARE biased, my friend. I've never seen a mac ad that ever tackles the BAD points of a mac (or good points of a PC)... but then again, that approach to advertising wouldn't sell macs as well, would it? And at the end of the day, that's the only reason those annoying commercials exist anyway. Discussing both the good and bad about Macs would be the absolute truth, not what they currently do. And all computers have problems, I've used faulty macs before as well as faulty PCs. They're both machines made by man and, thus, are prone to failure. They have perks, but aren't perfect. In fact, far from it. And this isn't supposed to parody either machine physically, just Apple's approach to advertising. I hate when ANY company uses the 'endlessly make the competitor look bad' approach to advertising.
Glad you enjoyed what you did, in any case.

[An Easter Massacre 2]

Cool, but...

Decent animation, worth watching.

But holy crap man, those subtitles are WAAAYYYY too fast. What are you like a speed reader or something?! I can't read a whole sentence in half a second. sorry.

Sh0T-D0wN responds:

Yes, I am a speedreader :(.

[Madness Termination]

Not good, not good at all.

There are several things wrong with this animation.

1. It's a complete, direct, utter, blatant ripoff of Madness! Unless you had direct permission, not cool! Even if you did have permission, still, NOT COOL! Make your own shit!

2. It's not even as good as Krinkels' work! The art is not as clean. Not saying it's bad, but Madness is better!

3. There's no blood. Just because you say that we're all blood-loving vampires and it's wrong to expect blood doesn't make it true. When someone's head gets ripped off, there needs to be blood, or else it gets either a laugh or a groan. In this case, it was a groan.

Look man, you did nothing here except manual tween animation that anyone can do. There's zero originality, all of the crap was basically choreographed by original Madness author Krinkels, the art is obviously taken directly from Madness (not saying you copied and pasted, but you either traced or designed it to be exactly like Madness).

There's just nothing here! If I were to create a crappier version of Weebl and Bob that wasn't funny, it would get blammed! So why is it that you create a crappier version of Madness that isn't violent and don't?

What is this?!

JonBro responds:

To answer your question, this is a parody movie for Madness Day.

[New, From Apple!]

It's decent...

I wouldn't say it's great. Kinda made me chuckle, but nothing too special. Top 5? No, not really.

The thing that got me though was the whole sarcastic remarks implying Apple comes out with products too often. I don't get that. I mean, look at all the other manufacturers...there's new stuff every day. Apple only comes out with new stuff maybe once a year tops. They work hard on their products and they're [almost] never premature...

SirSloth responds:

True, but they most definatly are killing the ipod minerature ideas.
Ipod Mini, Ipod nano, Ipod shuff, and the retarded mini ipod shuffle.
Also steve jobs is an arrogent asshole.

[Ace's Optical Illusions]

Interesting

YOU SUCK. I hate you losers who are too @#$%ing lazy to make a proper button. I hate how you can 't even be assed into making a proper hit state. You suck. Asshole.

Mini-Media responds:

*cough**oough* anger management*cough*

[World War 5]

This is very good.

The graphics were very good, and I really liked the message. The sound, however, was complete shit. Not to say it was bad music, but that it just didn't fit with your movie. But very good animation, good art, good message. Just needed SERIOUS work on the background music. With good music this would possibly get a 10 overall from me, and that is something I have never awarded (except perhaps a long time ago when I was a newbie and gave everything either a 10 or a 1)

TruffleClock responds:

What? I exported the sound on high quality.

[5 Shots]

I don't understand...

Why is this getting such a good score? It's really quite aweful. The sound is poor quality, the animation is bad, you couldn't be arsed to draw more than 2 characters and even they are shotty...the mouths are black blobs...and worst of all, the "storyline" or whatever you wish to call it flat out sucked. It was disgusting...

Bad job.

CowPuncherProduction responds:

That is unfortunate you think that way. We have plenty reviews that state the sound is crisp and clear, the animation is pretty well, and the joke is hilarious. Computer malfunction? Anywho, thanks for the 4 at least.

[The Lord Of The Things]

It's pretty good...I guess...

I mean, it could definitely use some work. The artwork was pretty aweful, I have to say, and the animation wasn't that cool. But at least it was a funny idea with good sound. You weren't lazy with it, I can see that, even if your skills haven't yet reached their peak. Keep it up, you'll be better soon I think.

Cilmeron responds:

Yeah.. that's my weakness -> animation. Every time I try to animate the characters it ends with weird movements and such stuff.. so I decided to keep more effort on the storyline and the design itself. thanks for the great review ;) And yes - I hope I get better.. I ever do ;D

[Sounds of CS]

Awesome!

I loved it man! Very creative! Good job, it has some interesting graphics, the guns are drawn very well, the animation is realistic, or if not that, looks good. Overall, I would say these are the only things I could see that need improving:

-Maybe you could draw the backgrounds. They were pixelated and I think ruined the effect a bit.

-Perhaps more than stick dudes? They were cool, but they could be cooler. Pimp them out. =D

StealthBeast responds:

Your right. Backrounds and full figured might've looked more "pimped" =P

BUT I LEIK IT TEH WEY IT IZ.

Glad you liked it. Sorry for the late response, I'm swamped =_=

[Madness Depredation]

DUDE!

This is really great! I've always been a fan of your movies! Sadly, there are many posing as you...I spoke to someone on AIM who is a TOTAL poser! He's a jerk...he has no respect for you. You are freaking amazing dude. I doubt you put your real email, but I would LOVE to talk with you some time, I have a big project with lots of people on NG working on it. I hope you read this, if you do, maybe you could email me or something?

Anyway, amazing work dude, keep it up!

Krinkels responds:

Why wouldn't I put up my real email? Would I be inclined to put up someone else's email? That would be dumb.

Shoot me an email if you have something interesting to say, just don't expect me to have anything interesting to say back. I think I wasted all my creative writing in this little blurb.... Fuck.
