[Dick Neck: Origins]

It's been a while coming...

... and I'm delighted to see that after a long wait, it didn't disappoint.

Graphics - 9/10 - Graphically this flash was excellent, it both stayed true to the Dick Neck comic page you originally created, but at the same time it was improved upon much, much more. The animation was perfectly smooth, so no complaints there. I was a little disappointed at the lack of colour in some parts, particularly with regard to the characters in the school scene, but it was nonetheless excellent.

Content - 10/10 - What can I say? The humour was fantastic, I laughed hard on several occasions throughout, it really captures the essence of what the whole Dick Neck debacle was about (other than a guy with a massive neck). The post-credits scene was quite interesting as well, is a sequel in the works?

Sound - 10/10 - Audio was very well implemented, I felt that the voice acting on the whole, particularly the narration, was excellent, and the music was very appropriate when used (during the blowjob scene I couldn't control my laughter).

Overall - 10/10 - I know a lot of work went into this, and it really does show. Biased as I may be having been "there" when it all happened, I loved this flash, 10/10, 5/5, and added to favourites. Great work.

First incredibly helpful review it's received!

Graphics- In regards to the black & white color scheme in the flashback, I did that to contrast with present time vs. the past. Although, admittedly, it could've worked just as well with colors all throughout, it's just a preference. In comics that I drew, even in a young age, I neglected to use color...again, I admit, it's a bad habit I need to break, unless the mood sets for it.

Content- Yes, but not immediately...in between "Origins" and (Sequel) I'm going to try to diversify my work a little bit more.

Sound- Hey, it worked! :D

Overall- Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU.

I really appreciate the detailed review; You Rock, Rohan!

[The Pretenders]

One of your very best!

Long wait for the flash to load, this was one of my favourite flashes that you guys have done.

Graphics - 9/10 - Overall the video was pretty well done graphically, I did have one or two minor gripes. Firstly, at times it was a bit too dark to see clearly what was going on, although for atmospheric effect I can understand this to a degree. Secondly the video quality wasn't fantastic, but I do know that when converting from video to flash you lose a lot of that, so I won't hold it against you.

Content - 10/10 - I laughed my ass off on occasion, this was one of your funniest pieces. Particular highlights were the "lack of pattern" on the map, the "hand-guns" and the scolding you got from his brother. Good stuff all round.

Sound - 10/10 - In terms of audio I felt that this was one of, if not the best you have done together. The narrative was clear and excellently done, and the music was well implemented.

Overall - 10/10 - Fantastic job overall, keep at it.

Fro responds:

Thanks a lot!

We might be getting a new camera sometime this summer. If we do the lighting and quality will be much better than what you've seen so far.

I'm happy it made you laugh.

[Snow Wars Introduction]

Awesome

I watched, reviewed and loved Hay Wars when it was first released, so I was really looking forward to watching this.

Graphics - 8/10 - The graphics done in Flash were quite good, my only gripe however was that the video was a bit pixellated, and at times with the sun shining over your shoulder it became difficult to see what was going on. However, I know converting video to flash can screw up the quality, so it's not really your fault.

Content - 10/10 - The dialogue and humour was corny as hell, but that's what I've come to expect (and enjoy ;P) from your work. Excellent stuff as always.

Sound - 9/10 - The music was fine (metal intro was awesome). Only small flaw was the voices, but I know you've worked hard to improve it as much as possible so it's not so much a criticism as an observation.

Overall - 9/10 - Loved this movie guys, keep up the good work and I look forward to viewing future installments.

Fro responds:

Thanks for the brilliant review.

If you want to see the good/high quality version of the submission then check out the link that is in the author comments.

So are my jokes Corny as hell... or are they Corky? Perhaps that explains why my aliases on newgrounds is Corky. :P

No their Corny.. I know..

[Chris & Harry]

Excellent!

I loved this flash, I've been a fan of yours since A Random Day, and you've delivered once again.

Graphics - 10/10 - The animation was by far the best of yours that I've seen. In terms of colour, depth and detail it was pretty much flawless.

Content - 9/10 - The fight scenes were excellent, fast-paced and exciting. The only minor flaw I could find was that they dragged on a small bit, however the ending more than made up for it. I liked the easter eggs as well.

Sound - 10/10 - The sound was perfectly done, and I liked the contrast between the opening tune and the more dramatic one which ensued (althoughI'm sure I heard that music before- was it in A Random Day 4?) Anyway, well done.

Overall - 10/10 - You are by far one of the most talented flash artists on this site, and a personal favourite of mine. Keep up the good work, you're doing us Irish guys proud!

Oney responds:

yeah i used that burly brawl music in ard4, at the circle boy scene. glad you liked it :P

[Beneath the Sheets]

Fantastic

Great work again, a hilarious step-up from Hay Wars.

Graphics - 9/10 - Pretty good, although the video quality was a bit poor at times. But that ghost was super-realistic! :P

Content - 10/10 - I laughed my ass off, particularly at the ending. Great job (and i'm sorry to hear you were killed by those homicidal girl scouts) ;)

Sound - 10/10 - The voice quality was better than Hay Wars, so the voices were much clearer.

Overall - 10/10 - Great jobs guys, looking forward to the next one!

Fro responds:

Yeah, the video was worse then the last one, but it actually wasn't too bad because most of the video was dark and you couldn't tell. The sound was a lot better too because we were right next to the camera when talking this time. I'm happy you thought it was funny and thanks for the review.

[Madness Devotion]

Ah yes, another Madness from Krinkies...

Dude, seriously, it isn't funny. Regardless of how you are trashing Krinkels good name, I will review this fairly on the merits of the flash.

Graphics - 8/10 - The animation was very good indeed. To be honest, it was excellent. The characters and backgrounds were all very well drawn.

Content -5/10 - Wasn't much to it. All it consisted of was a speech, with different things happening during it. Could do better

Sound - 1/10 - The voice quality was horrendous, couldn't understand a single word of it. Seriously, invest in a better microphone or something.

Overall - 5/10 - You are ruining (or at least trying to) the reputation of one of NG's most loved artists. I know you probably don't give a damn what I say, but for what it's worth, I think it is a pity. In terms of animation, you have a lot of raw talent, just a shame you are wasting it like this.

Karples responds:

I don't have any intentions of ruining anyone's reputation. :(

[Hay Wars]

Brilliant stuff guys!

I'm a SW nut, so I had high hopes, and man did you guys deliver!

Graphics - 10/10 - I really enjoyed the blend of the Flash messages with the real-life video (albeit with special effects). The blasters shots looked the part, very well done!

Content - 10/10 - The content was so preposterous that it was hilarious! At first I was thinking, "Ok, they're shooting at one another over the haystack, why not?" and was less than impressed. But on watching it a second time I cracked up over the sheer silliness of it. Oh, and way to cap the cameraman at the end!

Sound - 9/10 - I loved the sound effects, they were excellent. The voice quality was a little scratchy though (which is what you lost the point for).

Overall - 9.667/10 - Apart from the voice quality, this submission surpassed all my expectations for a filmed Star Wars parody (let's face it, there are some terrible ones)

Since the overall score is a decimal, I'm rounding it to the nearest whole number, giving you a score of 10. Great job, keep it up!

Fro responds:

What a great review! Thank you for all your kind words. The video and voice quality was bad because of the camera being used. Next time, if there is a next time, we may add the voices by over dubbing them. Thanks for the review.

[flash attack]

Good effort...

...but too similar to Animator vs. Animation for my liking. Maybe make a longer version, and change it a bit more so it does not come off as a poor clone.

rutger438 responds:

oké ty

[The Lucifer Effect.]

Good effort

As you've said, it is a tad short. With a bit of work, this could be very chilling, especially with that music in the background. One thing, when he morphs into the devil, he looks a bit like Venom from Spiderman. Or maybe I'm just crazy ;-)

Ogiyose responds:

yeah now that i think abt it, he does doesn't he?
