"Best parody ever"

submission: The Ultimate Showdown

date: December 8, 2009

One of my favourite flash movies ever on Newgrounds. I loved the song and animation quite a lot, but what impressed me the most, as a fellow writer was the genuine and natural flow and content of your lyricism. The simplicity of your lyrics was perfect and didn't feel forced at all, which led to hilarious moments.

But overall, excellent work, this video is an NG classic for sure.

"Let us raise a toast"

submission: Spoilsbury Toast Boy

date: December 8, 2009

The Spoilsbury series is simply terrifying, you do a fantastic job in creating this hellish and dysopian kind of world, where beetles rule and can do whatever they want. There is an almost cheerful execution to some of the sadism, with the dialogue and some of the scenes being rather hilarious and this glosses over the disturbing reality of what is happening. This is reinforced greatly by the brilliant voice acting and timing, as well as the eerie use of ambient music.

What I like the most, is the sense of not seeing the bigger picture, each scene can draw up more mystery and questions and it leaves the viewer thirsting for more knowledge about what's really going on. I love the sick imagery and humour in the face of extremity and I respect that you are not afraid of doing something different and controversial.

5/5 10/10 - Genuinely freaky and I hope you make another one to add to this brilliant but short series.

"Microrgasmic"

submission: Microcosm

date: December 7, 2009

One of the greatest flash videos I have ever seen on Newgrounds. It takes a high degree of imagination to come up with something like this and you implement the animation style perfectly. There were twists and turns along the way and this made the storyline immensely enjoyable, especially towards the end.

All I can do is congratulate you on your efforts with this and hope to see other exciting and unique concepts from you in the future.

10/10 5/5 - Superb work.

"Unorthodox, raw, breathtaking, inspiring!"

submission: Who Needs Drugs

date: September 20, 2009

The lyrics are really simple, to the point where they become really funny in a strange sort of way, its because you're speaking in syllables. The really subdued beat somehow compliments the vocals and just gives the whole thing a comical kind of tone. It makes me feel like doing my own kind of one of these tracks, we should do a collaboration when I get a microphone, that would be so funny.

One of my ideas is that we both do a verse each and then halfway through the song, we start talking over each other and the song becomes all confusing, that would just be trippy, or like echoing each other's lyrics, sort of like 'who needs drugs?' and then an echo that says 'I need drugs'.

Score: 10

"It All Starts Here"

submission: It's Dawn

date: September 15, 2009

What an awesome, atmospheric and powerful song this is. Anything that can draw goosebumps on a first listen has to be great, the riff just gives you that overwhelming emotional sensation of intense build-up. Its like a wave of adrenaline and should definitely be used for a big film.

"Are we just going to lie down and accept this! We need to stop running! Stop hiding and cowering! Now is the time that we stand up and show them, make them realise! That they are in a war! A war that is beyond them, one that they will not win!"

Score: 10

"Echoes of the Genius"

submission: Echoes of the Future

date: September 3, 2009

This song and Ryan's Quest are both bang on the money. I must have left this song looped on my headphones over a hundred times while I thought of ideas, most of my ideas were dark bleak scary ideas, lines of dialogue, characters for my scripts, the song gives off that end of the world apocalyptic sense, like the aftermath of an atom bomb or something horrific. The song is so versatile that it inspires limitless ideas and themes, the atmosphere is foggy and empty, feels so cold.

At 2.20 when that bass comes in, it sort of speeds up and becomes a little more dominant, it would be great to use this as a springboard for speeding up the track and also improvising the piano riff and strings, taking the emotional aspect to a faster paced and more emotional level. The song is already very spinetingly, but it could be even more, I'd also love to hear the inclusion of siren wails/drones or like a whale cry type of effect, it would sound brilliant.

I'm giving this a ten, because it packs a punch, the emotional foundations have been laid, you have a real gem of a track here and alternative versions are something I'd look forward to if you did them. I would particularly like to hear the pitter patter of drums and bass building up towards the end.
