TheShrike's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Preview: Kill Demon]

Meh.

The music was waaaay too damn loud. Also, if you're going to recommend a specific quality to watch a movie at... why not just set it yourself? _root._quality="MEDIUM".... how hard is that?

Mikextro responds:

just as i could have set it to medium before hand you could have turned down the volume.....thats even easier to do.

[Skaness]

Ok..

First off, try giving the original author (krinkels) some credit when you do a blatant rip-pff of his work.

Second, don't submit half-done flashed to the portal, damnit.

Dead4 responds:

grrr

fuck you damn it!

[Chaos Warrior]

Not again...

Why is it that everyone feels the need to blatantly copy Krinkels the moment they enter some gen'd key from a copy of Flash they found on some P2P network?

You get a big ol ZERO for not tweaking down the audio (4 MEGS!!!)(!!!).
You get a big ol ZERO for making a poor ripoff of Krinkels work without even mentioning him (ohwaityouhadhisnameonscreenforlike2secondssoitsok).

Do something original. If you want to do fanflash, CLEARLY SAY SO.

And don't tell me to vote five on utter crap.

Stevecon responds:

i DID thank Krinkels you ignorant bastard! and its my first movie. GEEZ MAN.

[Manamana]

meh

It's been done many times before. And in most cases, it has also been done much better.

pillowbasher responds:

thanx

[Halo For Retards]

I don't know how many times I've said this...

IF YOU'RE GOING TO DISABLE THE RIGHT-CLICK MENU, ALLOW USERS TO TOGGLE QUALITY, DAMNIT.

There's usually no good reason to leave it out, anyway.

flash-hounds responds:

sorry

[Vamp ep. 4]

Not bad at all.

I only have two suggestions:

Change the fonts used in the narration. Whatever you're using right now is too hard to read, especially when the text is on screen for such a short amount of time.

Also, you need to either set the quality yourself (it isn't hard, try asking in the flash forum here), or provide the user with a means to change the quality on the fly, without opening the right-click menu.

Michelangelo responds:

here is what makes it ironic, in my last episode viewers said the pacing was too slow and one guy supposedly said that he could read one piece of dailogue numerous of times within a 5 sec scene...so for an example i would change that 5 sec. scene to a 3 sec. scene to accompany the fast readers, just to find out it was a little too fast in the end results. its hard to trying to find the right amount of viewing without over doing it, regardlessly thanks for your comment and appreciation...lol, i guess it will have to be 4 sec next time :)
also, i went and found out on how to change the quality myself so that was helpful, thanks :D

[NGs' Guide to Blamming!]

Completely off base.

You movie tells people do exactly what the Fulps warn against doing, mainly unfair voting practices.

Potski responds:

Wrong. }--{
If you want to insult me, do it by email and not by review, don't embarrass youself.

[NGs' Guide to Reviewing!]

Misguided or Common Sense Advice, Nothing New

You did it again, man. =[

Looks like this time you managed to include less misleading info, but the quiz at the end was still ridiculous. And also wrong. #5... I didn't learn jack from this flash.

And ditch the goddamn audio already. 4 Megabytes for this just so I have to mute my computer's speakers when it loads? This file would have been under 200k without that damn song. ZERO FOR AUDIO. Understand? If you're going to BLOAT the filesize with some silly song, you should include a means of muting it >WITHIN THE FLASH<. Heheh... guess what I just did? I just talked about something your flash doesn't have. AND YOU TOLD ME NOT TO!!! OEH NOE!!!

These guides of yours get on my nerves mainly because they all feel half-baked, and don't provide any new info. Or they provide misguided info. Or they blatantly provide only your opinion.

Potski responds:

Tut Tut Tut. For an experianced NG user that is one bad opinion/review. I cry for you, then start work.

[24 Hour Project]

Not bad for a day's work.

You should try doing a collaborative effort, get some other people to pledge to flash for 24 hours straight.

The music fit, but it really pissed me off when it just abruptly ended at the end. I'd suggest using a song that fits the length of the flash, or planning the flash to last at least as long as the song.

The animation was decent, so overall, not a bad job!

MindProject responds:

I feel the same way about the ending. That collab idea sounds like a good idea. I might just have to try that next time. It would be interesting to have everyone agree to do something similar to this and keep a log.

[NGs' Guide to the BBS!]

That sucked.

You're completely off base on so many things... And lumping the politics forum in with C&C? L-A-M-E. Almost as lame as the music, which I wish I could disable.

The fact that you lump politics in with C&C shows you don't know enough about the BBS to make some tutorial, guide or quiz about it.

Actually, Quiz Question #2 says it all:
Q:Wut wuz ur most embarrasing moment?
A:Make up a cool embarrasing moment, and pretend it's true

Obvious grammar errors aside, that's a crock of shit.

And saying you should refer to the mods as 'sir'? Jeeze. Get over it. Mods are people, too.

Meh. You get points for effort, but not many.

Potski responds:

Hooray for effort. I said you 'can' reffer to mods as sir OR their real name. I can call you sir if I wanted. The quiz wasn't the best, but as I described below, I had a reason. Thanks for the review sir.
