w00ti3 pie.

You submitted it here too. AND IT HIT THE DAMN FRONTPAGE! Yay for stickmovies. Nice job the Tuffie. We love ya. SSla rulz :D. I still think it's a bit too short and confusing. And don't use that kinds of muzzleflashes anymore, the old ones were better. At least I think so.

[Kanzeni Marin Nitsuite]

OMFG!

Anime! YAY! For all the jerks around who said this is not funny: It's a parody of the whole damn anime genre and it's a great one too. You have to have seen some anime to understand it, but it's obviously a parody. Ofcourse you all have a right of your own opinion. I liked it anyway, though that isn't quite my type of humor anyway.

[mario sprite test]

ok

It's okay, but spriting doesn't require much skills. It's just putting some sweens togerther and stuff. Anyway it's pretty good. Just as a test it doesn't get as high score as it would as a full movie.

[Verbal Street]

Really good job!

I can see the randomness spinning around in your old unfinished things. Everything was animated and put together nicely. Especially the amazing 3D scenes. It left me with strange feelings, but it was really cool.

[Fallen Angel: Teaser]

You didn't? Did you? All by yourself?!

This just leaves me speechless. I viewed it with my old computer at first with low quality and it still lagged quite much. Now i've got my new computer with amd athlon 64 3200+ and it runs perfectly. Now I decided to write this review.First off, amazing. You should do animations for living if you don't already. That's just insane. Realistic and gory. You worked on every little detail and effect. And, boy, that shows up. Your movie's crappiest parts look better than most of the flashes I've ever seen. This is just ubelievable. The sound effects where great. The heroine had nice boobs and I like the enemy design too. How on earth do they look so much like the combine of HL2? Coincidence? The violence was alright too, and though many of the drawings where pretty static, but they looked awesome. What is your equipment? Have you got one of those drawing tablets? I think I've said enough. If you ever read this review, I would like to see a reply to some of my questions.

RobsH66 responds:

Sure, I'd be glad to answer your questions.

It's just a coincidence that the soldiers look similar to the Combine from HL2. At the point in time when I created the designs for those guys, HL2 was still in production and I had only seen a couple of concept sketches and screenshots of the Combine soldiers. My soldiers look that way because it's sort of the way I envisioned a generic post-apocalyptic soldier, similar to the guys in Fallout and a lot of post-apoc art that I've looked at over the years. They also bear a strong resemblance to the gasmask counter-terrorists from Counterstrike, because that's just about the only style of soldier that I can draw decently (you might have noticed that Mike from "The Hunt" had a very similar, if not more cartoonish, character design... he was also based on the model from Counterstrike). I think I'm going to get someone else to create the designs for soldiers in future episodes, because all of my designs look too similar and aren't interesting enough.

As for the equipment I used for this movie- I created most of it in Flash using the mouse, by drawing lines with the Pencil tool and then converting them to fills to make them look more hand-drawn. I have a tablet too, but I'm not very good with it so I mainly just used it for creating the fire and explosion graphics, and for adding small details to the characters and backgrounds.

I hope that answers all your questions. If you have any more, feel free to drop me an email.

[Have No Life 2]

heheheh

It was kinda funny. You have to do almost that to get HL2 runnning :D. It took over 30 mins to install to me (or maybe a little less). Anyway it was a really funny movie, though the 'error on the screen after all the work' cliche has been used too many times :)

[Salad Fingers Episode 5]

oh dear.

It was just as creepy and brilliant as the other episodes. Keep it up. The ending was weird. What's up with salad fingers?

[D-Day WW2]

Good but...

That guy got through the beach like nothing? The longest and hardest part of the whole landing is on the actual beach, before the shingle. Also you had the germans using odd weapons. It didn't quite catch the horrors of the landing. Try watching Saving Private Ryan. You'll notice what I mean by my review. But hey, it's a goof and entertaining movie anyway. Good job.

KillMoochie responds:

i used saving private ryan is inspiration, but i couldnt put to much in because flash was slowing down like hell. but u are right.

[A Super Mario Story I]

Awesome

Absolutely great Saumus! You're like the best animator ever :). No need to say what you did great, because everything was so great. Please, hurry with your next episode. I'm going to make sure this gets to the top 5 of NG :).

[Uncle Death's Fruitcake]

hehehe

maycausesuddendeath was so funny xD. Pretty good art and drawings. Add some shading and lights and it's better. And your sound quality (The speech only) should be a bit better.

Kralex responds:

Thanks glad someone likes it.
