[A Postal Event : Foamy The Squirrel]

Funny joke, but over-long build-up.

I did really chuckle at the ending, but whilst this as well was more interesting that 'a musical view' - thanks to the shifting eyes of the guy in front, and the fact I could understand most of what foamy said - the build-up to the joke did seem a bit more drawn out.

I suppose maybe for some fans the voice alone will be humour enough, but I just feel it could have been better had you cut a few lines.

[5 More Minutes : Foamy The Squirrel]

Another entertaining joke. :)

A simple, yet well thought out idea, grouped with simple (yet effective) animation, a developed individual style of drawing and great voices.

Top stuff! Again!

[Secret Admirer : Foamy The Squirrel]

Made me chuckle! :D

I really enjoyed watching this.

Great voice acting (although foamy's a little hard to understand - optional subtitles would increase my enjoyment of this a lot).

I liked the twist as the letter changed tone and the final frame was the jam on the scone.

[Magic Animal Babies]

congratulations on 'selling out' successfully ;)

I'd never heard of any of those drinks, but then again, I'm not American...

It was an entertaining watch, if only for the high quality of animation, humourous characters and voices.

However, at no point was I anywhere near laughing.

For the purposes of an ad, it's good stuff, but it just doesn't cut it as far as quality entertainment goes.

Still, the series is great and I think you did the right thing in showing this off to us.

[Ankle Sprain Injuries]

Not really entertaining.

I'd watched just over half of your sections when I decided to close the window.

I suppose it's educational and the drawling tone of the speaker does sound somewhat like a slightly boring (and bored) lecturer.

The animations and pictures definitely help to explain stuff, but there are a few niggles. People who will see this on NG probably won't be able to remember all the names you mention and might need some terms like CRI and Radiograph actually explained. Remember who your audience is!

However, my main gripe is that it's just not entertaining. I didn't click to be taught some information which will be mostly useless to me; I hoped to be entertained.

SeXy-SiMo responds:

Well I did say if you arent willing to learn something don't watch it... but I guess you didn't listen.

Also the intended audience were actually diagnostic radiography university students. I only put it on here just to add to my flash collection.

[WTF]

Hehehe

Although I don't really like your limbless and torso-less characters, that didn't get in the way of what it a rather amusing storyline.

Sound effects were short and well chosen, and the twisted nature of the plot made it a bit of a giggle to watch.

Good stuff!

Keep it up,
Bez

[H-ToWn]

Good song but an uninspiring animation

The song was decent, but while you tried to match up the visuals to the lyrics, it was never that enjoyable a watch.

I suppose it's a combination of the less than great graphics and lack of any surprises or real jokes.

Sorry for the negativity, but there's some things you just need really good graphics for. If you can't do great graphics, either have jokes, some plot, surprises, or maybe try something a bit different...

Good luck with future stuff,
Bez

[The Story Of Mek, ACT 7]

Seems unfinished.

The way it ends, with some voice playing when the black screen arrives really makes it seem as if the ending is premature.

I suppose I should have expected the length, given the title calls this act 7 but still... the way it ends just seems really sloppy.

You could have at least have had an ending screen and not had the voice at the end.

Apart from that niggle though, it was a reasonably enjoyable watch and piqued my curiousity. I don't know if I can be bothered to click on the previous acts and wait for them to load 1 by 1 though... you should maybe stick 5 of them together or something.

Mek1985 responds:

Meh, yeah, act 7 was kind of a dissapointment...dude 5 all together would be like WAY over 5 megs... :-p

[TN - Amateur Hour p.2]

Brought smiles to my face. :)

The hilligan's eyeland pt. 2 was really uncalled for, but apart from that, the random nature of the animation, coupled with some jokes that were actually mildly funny made this an enjoyable watch.

If I ever see another amateur hour in the portal, I'll be sure to watch it, as they've definitely gotten better with each episode.

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Haven't you noticed, AMATEUR HOUR is uncalled for.. that's kind of a theme: "uncalled for".

you're uncalled for, but i still love you.

[TN - Amateur Hour p.1]

Not as amusing as #3

I don't know if it's because the style was no longer refreshing or because the jokes weren't as good.

Probably a bit of both.

In any case, I actually found myself yawning for a fair bit of this.

And that screaming alien - he was just really annoying. What's with you and annoying sounds?

Tomorrows-Nobody responds:

Sorry, we find it funny. Haven't you ever annoyed someone with an annoying sound? Try annoying hundreds! ooooo.
Also check out our Tomorrow's Nobodies series. It's different. No screaming aliens.
