...and that's all right with me! Great job!

Score: 7

"You stole my idea!"

submission: Historical facts-volume 1

date: August 9, 2005

Well, sort of. I was planning to make some documentary-like Flash animations based on entries from the Rotten Library. They'd be paced and narrated similarly to this little opus. I think it's clever. You have a unique message, so I say keep it up.

Score: 6

"Crazy as ever"

submission: 8-Bitch5: EvilOnTheAttack

date: February 2, 2005

The animation is very good! You're a master of the tween. There's no sense in looking for a plot, but I did enjoy the random imagery on display, especially the Dragon Warrior references. My fave part was when Black Mage tickled White Mage. Very cute, and she has a cute laugh. We can always use more hot girls being tickled. Just ask Howard Stern.

Anyway, crazy stuff, beautifully animated.

Score: 7

"I'm officially a pervert."

submission: Dress Up Lilly REMASTERED

date: December 22, 2004

Wow, more dress-up games should be as "interactive" as this one. The addition of such a unique ideas as tickling is an innovation along the lines of -- what? You mean there's other stuff you can do in this game??? ;) Actually, I LIKE tickling cute girls, so that alone makes this game a winner to me. :)

Score: 7

"Good claymation!"

submission: The Park 2

date: July 19, 2004

Wow, that must have taken some time! Stop-motion is nothing to sneeze at. As long as you had fun with it, I say more power to you. I know there are other claymation entries on the Portal, but I'm still glad to see that there are artists willing to take on the challenge. Sure, the material's a little silly, but I think that was intended. Good job!

Score: 9

"The Portal's first snuff film."

submission: Smile!

date: May 5, 2004

Regarding the production: Wow. I don't think the effect of the stark, flickering light or the lack of sound effects can be ignored. The black and white artwork and the eerie ambient background music combine to create a Flash animation that looks like it was filmed in 8mm. Of course, no 8mm camera could perform the impressive swoops and pans that you added here, nor could it so clearly capture the suffering of the condemned. This is unforgettable work that is sure to disturb people, and for that I cheer you on.

Regarding the message: Yeah, yeah, the phony masses and their social pressures are bad, we all know that. If I wanted to hear that message, I'd watch Metropolis (the one that's not anime).

Score: 10

"Holy shit!"

submission: ultimate flash sonic

date: March 6, 2004

That was a seamless Sonic gaming experience! Good job, man! Sega should hire you to make minigames for the web or something! I don't give superlative praise like this often, but you've really captured the look, feel, sound, and level design of the classic Genesis Sonic games! All I can think of to say now is: PhilBBlack is clearly a moron. Congratulations!

Score: 7

"I am your neighbor. Ah!"

submission: HEY YA! VG Style!

date: March 2, 2004

Can't go wrong with Hey Ya! This was pretty dang funny! Simple, but effective! Good job on the synchronization; I know that can be tricky sometimes. And don't listen to these negative nincompoops -- they aren't even smart enough to understand that to get on the frontpage of NG one must actually make Flash first. Keep up the insanity, but maybe next time you should leave the banana out of it.

Score: 7

"Ach du lieber! Mein leiben!"

submission: How to flame in german!

date: February 25, 2004

Gott en Himmel! And so forth. What the hell was wrong with that player? It's amazing how much scarier cuss words sound when they're screamed out in German!

Anyway, hilarious concept, and excellent writing. Short, sweet, and very clever. Good job!

Score: 7

"Not bad"

submission: Earthbound Outtakes

date: February 24, 2004

EarthBound rocks, and you've clearly got a handle on how to move the Chosen Four in Flash. Most of the jokes were predictable, but I laughed out loud at the Photographic Genius outtakes. It would have been perfect if it had a third outtake as a capper. The material is weak, but the animation and technique are good. Keep at it.
