"Ah, at last"

submission: part 2: synj vs horrid

date: October 18, 2004

Great to see this finally come together. The rest rounded out well. I'm sure the real party's over at synj.net so I won't waste my words here ;)

Score: 8

"Glad I looked into it."

submission: Days after those days ++

date: October 14, 2004

After seeing yet another '++' marked submission take a top spot, I decided to finally check out these works. Went through each one, and I'm predominantly impressed. While I don't like the anime backbone of the style, it has some elements that give it a more unique edge. Some of stuff (Worlds++) even reminds me of the style I work on when I'm playing with animation. Full paintbrush, full frame by frame, and pretty wacky, hectic and surreal. I don't know if you read reviews on old subs, but if you do, I've got a question. Which sort of days are you referring to in the title of this submission, if you wouldn't mind saying? I have a guess or two, based on my own experience, but it could be a lot of things. Before I ramble any further, I'll wrap up. Nice animations, and I'll be keeping an eye out for more in the future.

Score: 8

"So he gets a different stick, haha"

submission: Thicker Than Water

date: September 25, 2004

Quite funny. Certainly among the better unanimated NG submissions. I enjoy the morbid and somewhat bleak style of humour employed throughout.

Score: 8

"I love this series"

submission: The Suburban Ninja 2

date: September 16, 2004

Animation could be refined, but the humour has been great so far in this series. Very over-the-top without being stupid. Kind of clever. Unique style.

Score: 9

"Looks great!"

submission: The Legends of Hiro

date: August 30, 2004

You gave this entry a 5, raising its score to 3.31! Damn, I can't believe this submission isn't doing better. I'm sure it'll take an upswing though. The graphics are nice and have a very unique style. There's plenty of dialogue (almost too much at times, but it's nice to have a game that can actually last an hour or longer). It would be nice if you could click on the talk button to proceed text though. It was sort of tedious moving the mouse between the two points. Those are just small quips though. It looks like a great game. I'll play it fully tomorrow. No time tonight.

Score: 9

"Still pretty good"

submission: Salad Fingers Episode 4

date: August 19, 2004

The series isn't wearing out too bad, even despite high expectations. Of course it doesn't have the same effect it did the first time, but it's good that you're keeping consistent with the twisted style and bizarre humour. It's good to see fairly lengthy episodes as well.

Score: 9

"Good to see you back"

submission: kegel 'downhill ski race'

date: August 19, 2004

If my memory serves me well, you haven't submitted in a while. It's good to see you active on NG, keeping with the same high quality of sound, graphics and writing the series has always held. I stopped by your site the other day, but it seemed you had to pay to see most of the content?

Score: 7

"Decent, overall"

submission: Manga-Gaga 100 Omake

date: August 18, 2004

The graphics were at least par, though it would be good to see less reliance on tweening and more on frame-by-frame. My real quip is that a more obvious nod to num 1000 512 KB Cache Mix should have been made, as the choice in music and a lot of creative elements were clearly borrowed.

Score: 8

"Hahah, nice"

submission: The Billy Goats Gruff

date: August 15, 2004

Very funny variation on what was probably my favorite childhood story. Had some parts that were actually funny enough to laugh out loud at like when the troll got eaten and when the tangent where he fell in love, haha. Graphics weren't superior, but they suited the overall appeal. Voice acting was as good as anyone could ask for. Nice work.

Score: 8

"This is getting lame..."

submission: Muay Thai V. 3.0

date: August 10, 2004

You posted version 2 yesterday. Version 1 is still on the front page. NOTHING warrants a seperate version 3. Just update one of the other two.
It was a decent game the first time, but I was a little peeved when I saw it turn up a second time, barely changed. The third is just bothersome. Consider removing it. This isn't right.
