Mechabloby's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zodiac's Blue Signature]

It's alright.

If this is a forum signature of yours, then it's great and the graphics are nice and clean too.

Great choice in song too. I love that song and I always have done. I also like how you made it slightly interactive and you have made a button do something in this signature. (play the music) Not much animation in it but what animation there is in it is nice and clear - just like the graphics.

Keep stuff up like this and I'll want to check out all your work. 6/10 from me. Keep 'em a comin'!

ZodiacClock responds:

Oh, hey there Mecha.

[Close Your Ears]

Amazing.

I swear, it's either that the music gets louder and louder or I have my speakers volume up too high. Might be the volume thing. Meh.

Anyway, nice choice in song for the type of flash it is. The background could use with a bit more of a better animation. Maybe either make it rotate or use more colours for it to flash with. The animation on that little person thing was pretty interesting. Nice and quite smooth. The graphics are alright on this flash.

You might want to put a seizure warning in the author comments but other than that, you get a 7/10 from me! I don't get the 'CLOSE YOUR EARS RACIAL SLURS' though. Do you mind if you explain to me the point of that? I'm curious. :P

[NG 07 Remix]

What was this meant to be?

It kind of confused me. Was it just meant to be an animation with a few of the level icons dancing on what is supposed to look like a dance floor? I'm not sure.

Maybe, next time, if you do one of these animations at the end of 2008, maybe you could make it last longer by using more (if not all) of the level icons and make sure they are from different auras too. Maybe also the tank and some NG characters.

I'm sure after a year, you'd of improved a whole lot more on animation and such so I'm sure that if you made another one of these for the end of 2008, it'd have better animation and graphics. (and maybe, if you can, you'd draw it out yourself too)

The music wasn't that bad but the with this title of the flash and this music - it's kinda misleading. I was hoping to hear a remixed song or something. A dance-ish trance-ish song because when the word 'Remix' is used, it usually leads to a dance-ish song. (either that, or editing something)

I know you'll improve in the future but for now, I'm going to have to give you two stars. Sorry. But I do hope to see some of your stuff in the future so keep on working at flash!

SuperSalvo responds:

actually, i didnt make this
i was serious that i just helped a friend
im sure he will read this
i can guarantee you that he will be more self confident after he reads this
i cant care less about the review score unless your shooting for underdog or review crew trophies.

[SLINKYMAN]

Interesting flash.

Let me first say that the slinkyman needs a bit more animation to him. Maybe have him slink around the all the slides around the flash? That'd look good.

I loved the preloader. When you quickly moved it, it blurred. That must of taken some scripting knowledge to do. The flashing background was interesting. This flash just makes me want to rave - and that ain't my thing.

And yes, I watched this until the song finished (because it was catchy and I liked it) and, well, you should have the song loop so it doesn't stop.

But apart from that, interesting idea. Nice flash. I gave it a five and I faved it. Could you tell me what the song was called and who made it, though? I've heard that tune in lots of places and I never have known the artist or the song title.

8/10.

[Penguins Of The Arctic]

I faved it.

I faved this because it's pure gold. It's pure genius. It's a pure epic creation. It deserves front page!

Seriously, this is worth watching for a good, quick and random laugh. It had me in stitches for a while. Also, clever title for the flash. ;)

CaramelAppleClock responds:

Why thank you very much my good sir.

[Onaz's Newgrounds]

The only 'My Newgrounds' flash that made me laugh.

Brilliant. Kudos to you for giving me a few good chuckles with this! It's great! There are a few things that could be improved such as sound quality and possibly video quality but it's not really a big problem anyways.

I really liked this. I'll just give you a five and I'll be on my way. :)

Onaz responds:

thanks a lot man. this means a lot to me.

God Bless

-Onaz

(also, nominate this for the MY NG COLLECTION)

[Starlight Part 1]

You tricked me. :(

With the submission title, I thought you'd of used Muse's 'Starlight' song but still, great song choice. I was slightly disappointed that you didn't animate for the full song though, but nonetheless, I'll keep an eye out for your second part to this.

Nice and interesting introduction you made. I quite liked it. Nice try at the main animation too, it was quite interesting but maybe you should throw in a storyline too. Why do the guys start fighting? Are they close friends becoming enemies? Is it teacher and student? Where did they get their magic powers and fighting skills from?

I really quite liked the drawings of the characters at the end too. They were great to look at but I was wondering - why didn't you draw characters like that from the beginning instead of stick people? (but it was still a good flash)

I'll give this a 7 out of 10 because it's great but there could be alot more room for improvement. I can't wait to see the second part to this. :)

RedBoxPariah responds:

Wow! Glad you liked it... yeah sorry about that... i was originally going to do it to the song starlight but then i though assassin sounded better... but i still wanted the name starlight because the guy is is born from the star, and it seems that i will have to get started on that second part! Thanks for the positive review!

[Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 134]

Kudos to you.

As I've said on one of the previous episodes of this series, I'm impressed by how you have the energy to continue through this series. The concept of Hitler catching all the pokemon is still pretty humorous and original - in my opinion, anyways.

Your introduction is still quite effective and the music you've used is just bloody catchy but I'm just wondering, maybe you could cut Adolf Hitler out of his background? You know, so only he shows. (Just like you've done with the pokeball)

The images used are still of high quality, which is great. I also find it pretty funny how you've always dressed Hitler as the pokemon that has either just been caught or that has evolved. Insane choice in music - like always and you can never have anything against it. It's always so damn catchy. Like always, great choice in music. (for the introduction and main feature)

Anyway, like last time, I do point out the parts most people miss in a spammy flash and so, I give it a proper rating. Many people usually don't see effort go into a flash like this but they're never thinking of the image quality, the choice of music, how frequently the author has to submit them, the introduction animation, the scripting of the preloader and much more.

May I ask you a few questions about this flash? What is the music you've chosen for the main feature and how many episodes do you submit in a day?
Anyway, you gain my respect from this series and good luck to you with it and all. 10/10.

AfroUnderscoreStud responds:

The picture of Hitler in the intro isn't cut out because of the importance of that picture. Had it not been for its existence then these flashes probably wouldn't exist (long story).

The music in the main piece today was Shabondama by Morning Musume.

I submit one a day.

Thanks for the lengthy review. <3

[Sick Joke Collection II]

I thought sequels were meant to be bad!

Some of these jokes I had heard of, some I havn't. They gave me a good chuckle followed by a 'Fuckin' hell...'. It did take quite a while to understand some of the jokes but in the end - when I did, well, I told you in the first sentence of the review. :P

Anyway, the introduction wasn't bad. It made this interactive gem look good from the beginning.

Maybe you should think about - if you choose to do a third part of course, that you should add both collections from part 1 and 2 to it, get more collections and throw ten jokes into at least each collection. (even if one collection has enough jokes in! Just add more to it!)

Choice of music was mental like last time. Still creeps me out. From your collection of Disney songs, right?

Anyway, I'm off to add this to my favourites. 10/10. It got a five from me. :)

Sidorio responds:

Wow. Thanks for the first good review.

If a third is made, I'll have to have at least fifty jokes. It'll need to top this one. As for the music...I don't know why I have Disco Duck on my computer. You have to admit, it is pretty cool. Thanks for being so supportive of this.

[Sick Joke Collection]

A good source of jokes that I've not heard of.

If I want a good and quick laugh or to give my mates a good laugh, I'll use some of the jokes from this. It's a good source for jokes I'm sure hardly anyone has heard of.

I didn't approve of some of the jokes like the racist and sexist ones but that's the point of this flash. To completely repulse people who don't enjoy racism or sexism or to please those that do. I enjoyed the jokes that weren't racist and sexist so I still liked this flash. :P

I do like the fact that you had a selection (and a wide one that is) of different jokes but it could of done with another few categories. It would of also of been good if we could of had a choice of music. The music you picked was an interesting choice but it did actually creep me out a bit. :s
(maybe have a background too)

But yeah, this was quite entertaining. A great recommendation to those who have a sick sense of humour and will laugh at anything. I found no problems with it. (glitch-wise)
I fived this when it was under judgement. I got my protection point and so I don't lose this, I'll fave it. :)

If you do choose to make a second Sick Joke Collection, please add many more jokes.

Sidorio responds:

Wow, thanks.

There were categories for:
Penises
Homosexuality
Bestility

I don't know any penis jokes or bestility jokes, and gay jokes would just tip this over into down-right hateful.

As for music...I have that song on my Mp3 player. It's 'Heffalumps and Woozels' from Pooh Bears Blustery Day. I'm a big fan of Pooh Bear, but it's not something I like to tell people. The lyrics sound slightly suggestive to me.

"They're black, they're brown, they're big and thick, they're up, they're down..."
