Mechabloby's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Trash Can]

Pretty trippy.

Loved the music choices. System Of A Down, Tool, The Killers, Daft Punk and loads more of my favourites were used. The animation was smooth as fuck and I definitely loved the first animation (with the lines) because I've not seen that concept being used in such a long time. Just loved that.

Some of the graphics were a bit naff but the great thing about frame by frame animation is nobody is going to give a bloody toss because it'll look great in the end, anyways.

I did enjoy this quite a bit. Interesting title, too. Can't wait to see this flash you say that is in production. I really can't. Until then, this'll get a 8/10 from me. Keep up the good work!

InsertFunnyUserName responds:

Thanks.

I'm hoping I won't forget about my other flash because it's going well. :I

Says quite alot for such a basic concept.

Too many people, they'll just see this as an animation to a Linkin Park song which is mainly just subtitles to the lyrics. Nothing more, nothing less. They'll probably even say things like 'I could just get these on some website!' but I felt like there was a bit more to this. It was a rather interesting and clever concept.

Yes, it's just text BUT I felt that it'd of taken some time to of animated it all together. Looked like it did, anyways. Linkin Park isn't really my thing - can't stand their work, to be honest but while watching this flash, I wasn't listening so much but I was reading.

Why'd you pick this song? Does it say something about you and you're wanting to show how you feel? Just wanted to animate something? I don't know why you did use this song but I felt like there was a deep meaning to the song while reading those bits of text. It was really quite interesting. I also loved the little tidbits you added to this animation. Made it more than just text but what made it what I see it as was the text with the song.

I don't like the song but as I said, I felt like there was a deep meaning to the song after watching this and this goes to show you, if you're not reading lyrics to the song, you'll totally miss its meaning.

I added this to my favourites. I thought the animation idea was original and it just made me feel something inside. Not a bloody clue what. Just did. Anyways, here's my review: 10/10.

At the time i had no idea why i chose this song for some reason it really inspired ideas. I use to listen to it all the time when i was a competition fighter since i stopped fighting ive ignored anything linkin park i guess maybe it was reviving my fighting feelings

[Fairwell Ross]

nice farewell gift.

It'd be ace if he saw this and was all like: 'wow, the NG public are going to miss me a whole lot. I best not leave, then!' and he doesn't. Yeeeahhh. :(

Anyways, nice flash. I really liked it. Why? Because it's a nice gift to a staff member I'm sure alot of people will miss and because both parts were pretty humorous.

First part:
I thought it was kinda funny how you had Tom Fulp crying and running after Ross (but it sounded alot like Chris Crocker so I thought there was going to be a 'LEAVE YAHOO ALONE!!!!' thing. Oh well) and then a second later, he just stops and has his epic (I never use that word) smile upon his face which I got a few giggles out of. I just love how it looks. Sound quality was very clear which is always good. Catchy music, too.

Second part:
I thought it was pretty nice to have the feeling that Ross would miss working for Newgrounds (with the tear and all). And the boat sketch at the end was just godly. It's a shame he'll be stuck in the middle of the ocean for all eternity. :(

Overall: I thought this was a nice flash but could of had an easter egg somewhere. :0
10/10.

Little-Rena responds:

Thanks for the lengthy review, lol. Yeah, some easter eggs around would have been good, the end to my part was going to be one but I thought it would be nicer to have it in view. I forgot about any extra parts to add to this, so sorry about that, lol.

Boat not going anywhere, uh, don't read too much into that, you'll just hurt your brain :x

[The Longest Cat You Know]

Good god.

I just saw the meaning of life right in front of me. Good choice in music, too. I was tapping me feet to it. 10/10.

Sidorio responds:

Me feet?
ME FEET?

It's "my feet", bitch.

[Happy Censorship Day!]

Amazing.

I loved this. It was brilliant. I loved the voice acting and the accents. The graphics were simple but I felt it really added to the humour. I just kept laughing hard throughout this. Truly genius.

I wish those remotes were real - it'd be a right laugh to see the outcomes of some of the swear words. Some of the censored words on this, I just didn't have the time to think about what they would be! I mean, when you were saying as many as you could in a short period of time, I was really curious about what each and every word would of been. :(

Great idea and there is nothing you can change to it that would make it better. This was just brilliant. 10/10.

kinggila responds:

I'd tell you what the words are, but they'd get censored. :P

[Albi, the racist dragon]

Pretty cool for the reason that...

...I can predict the future. I watched this under judgement and loved it and I also fived it. I thought it would get through the portal with a good score and even get front page. Heck, I was right and it's deserving of it too.

Interesting track although I was disappointed that you started with part six and didn't start with part one so we could of heard the whole background story to it. (which also could of led you to creating an 'Albi, the racist dragon' series) But other than that, it was fun to watch.

Sure, graphics were not perfect but they were clean and not filter raped. (if you don't know what that is, it's when you overuse the filter effects in flash) The graphics could of done with a bit more work on them here and there but it's not a big problem. You can't complain about them since they don't bother you. :)

This makes me want to check out your other flash submissions and dammit, I probably will. Congratulations on getting front page and I can't wait to see your future projects. Maybe animate an episode for each part of 'Albi, The Racist Dragon', though. Anyways, keep it up. 10/10.

Gnydsmelt responds:

Oh wow thanks for the AWESOME review!! Well i gotta make something straight, there ain't no other parts.. the song goes from intro " albi,albi, albi the racist dragon - then directly into part 6 ". If FOTC will release another Albi track i would love to animate to that aswell!

Really, thanks :D!!!

[Do A Jumpstyle In The Air]

I want this to be the new rick roll.

You have to admit, this would be amazing to see at the end of all fake article links to videos. It'd be much better than a rick roll, as well. I've got no fucking idea what a Twip is but the song was fun and the animation was smooth and since I know the sprites are custom made by you, it's even better. You're not a thieving bastard. :D

10/10.

Sticky responds:

Twips! Twips! Twips! Charm the pants off all your partners put your hands up on your hips!

lol You just been Twips'd sucka.

[Fucking Huge Faggotry]

Underrated.

This flash is highly underrated and deserves at least over a 3 for score. It was fucking great. I loved the mario sprite reference to that Mario Goof-Offs flash, too. I didn't see that coming. :P

Anyway, keep it up. I really enjoy your flashwork. 10/10.

Sticky responds:

I'm aiming for winner of Treasure Hunt '09.

[Abortion Shark is Hungreh]

dat iz gud

Yeah, it was. 10/10.

Sticky responds:

dat iz gud

[_X Tr0ix]

Nice for three hours work.

But it'd be better if it lasted for the whole song. That'd be sweet. Also, maybe spend more time on the whole animation and it'd look even better. (although, it looked pretty cool, anyways)

Great choice in song. It was really quite funky. Loved it. If you finish this project (animate more to the song), I'd love to see it. 8/10. By the way, what was the frame rate?

Sevkat responds:

Why, thanks, Mecha, I appreciate the comment.
And It's still a work in progress, I'll be done in about a month, or so. When I am, the flash will go throughout the whole song (It gets better at the end). And it was about 3 hours, or a bit less. Either way, not too, too much effort put in there. Otherwise I would have named it something cooler with a relevent pre-loader.

The framerate was at 24fps (As said in the commentary)
Thanks, again.
