[You Give Job]

Awesome job

I'm not entirely sure what a "tarrist" is, perhaps someone who tars things? My guess is "terrorist" was the word which eluded the fine reviewer below me. I believe the author here is Armenian so it's probably a fair guess that he is not speaking a "tarrist" language. If you don't know what any country outside of your own is, I suggest you avoid jumping to conclusions and remember that anyone can be a terrorist. Why does everyone always forget people like Timothy McVeigh or Theodore Kaczynski...aren't they worse to have attacked their own people?

That said, I think this flash is fantastic. I even come back every few days to vote it a 5. Beautifully animated, excellent voice acting, and a great sense of humor. It's nice to see things on this site that don't involve "wacky," random humor filled with dick jokes. The art of good storytelling with plot, pacing, and well-timed jokes is a rarity on this site so keep up the good work! Flash animations like this are the reason I keep coming back!

thanks for clearing that up :)

Wow.

That was exactly like watching an episode of DBZ. Except with squirrels. Tedious, repetitive, and full of ridiculous jargon. Not to mention 90% of it is watching someone power up. Perfect.

[Twilight: The Broodening]

Very Funny

I really enjoyed this. You are dead-on about the illogical points of the film. At least to someone like me who hasn't seen or read Twilight. Either way, very funny. I love the voice acting, timing, and the way you synched the images with the audio. It's very funny and well written.

Just a personal pet peeve, based on my own interest in vampire mythology, you can't really criticize using "common knowledge" vampire traits as a basis. ("Useless" this review to your hearts' content.) The original folklore legends vary widely. For example people killed vampires using a variety of methods including, but not limited to, a stake through the heart, a brick shoved in a corpse's mouth, or some even put scythes in the coffin to cut off the head of any vampire who tried to rise. And the same way the folklore doesn't agree, every book has a different take on what vampires are, what they are capable of, etc. I'm not saying glitter vampires is a cool idea or anything, but I've yet to read any two vampire books with the same "type" of creatures and you have to give the author credit for at least trying something new...however lame it may be.

Either way, this was good. It makes me feel like I might need to watch Twilight now for a good laugh though...

Cute, but...

Honestly, I found this excruciating to watch. It's cute and a good story, but it is very, very slow. Even if you chose to show what steps are being taken to make things, there is no need to show it that slowly. I do really like the style and the idea behind it though. Just several things could be shortened or cut out to pick up the pace. For example, there's no real need for us to know the character's names, which would eliminate the "introduction" portions. As it is, I don't know that too many people outside of Newgrounds would watch the entire thing, which means the message won't get through. But overall great animation, very smooth. Just try to work on your pacing. :)

I wish I could vote higher than 5!

This is the most awesome thing I've seen in awhile. The animation is smooth and the style is really cool. Love it!

[Extinction Friction - T.P]

*snore*

Repetitive and boring just don't cover it. I thought it would never end but I have to watch things through to rate them. We've all heard about global warming by now so maybe you could try not sitting in *your* computer chair, making animations, saying you will do things.

ASP responds:

I never said I was doing things.

But...yea, I agree with the length, even though the time flies by me every time.

David Firth meets Fight Club??

I agree with notorious- this is practically the same exact animation as "Roof Tiling." The story, look, style, characterization, and basic idea are the same. And just like "Fight Club," the main character, realizing the evil is all in his head, shoots himself. Only difference is this guy didn't live.

I think your overall ability is there, you just need to try for a better and more original story. And lastly, the static was a bit distracting...less of it would have more impact. When static comes it's supposed to be disorientating, but if it's used very frequently, it loses all impact.

Beautiful Work

I really liked this. I loved the way it told a story in such a short time and the style is amazing. The music was a bit fuzzy, but still good. My only question is what song is this?
