[Balthor's Tales From Hell]

good middle

aside from the relatively clever and mildly amusing middle, i found the rest to be subpar. The very beginning was pretty cliche, and the ending didn't make much logical sense. If he wasn't liking it, why didn't he again just pretend he was enjoying himself? It's not like he didn't have the opportunity to. Just because he pretended like he hated coeds (and what DOES that head have to do with coeds?), doesn't mean he can't pretend he's enjoying himself.

wow

that was the best anti-drug ad i've ever seen. EVER.

meh

don't fight shit with shit, it just clogs up the toilet we all call the portal.

[Mario VS. Sonic (VGDC)]

Old Skool is right.

I love the old-skool 8-16 bit atmosphere of the place, but I wish there were more rounds. I like the choice of endings though, nice touch.

[Moonstruck]

Beautiful

A beautiful and touching story paired with some of the most fluid animation I've seen in Flash. This is TV or Film quality animation right here, and with better stories than most of them.

Great atmosphere

I love the look of the entire thing, and really, that voice acting is hilarious. I gotta ask though, seriously, does anyone else think the whole violence thing isn't that funny anymore? It's getting close to being quite excessive.

smokeshow responds:

hehe thanks for the review!

And no... violence is always funny.... even though this flash isn't based on violence :)

[Internet Love?]

nice graphics

i can see in the animation the roughness of it, but you definitely have the drawing style to hold yourself up. i don't care if you DID get a tablet, i think this stuff looks good as is.

[An Empire of One]

Uneven

the art is an uneven balance of traced bitmaps and badly drawn cartoons. It would have worked if they were just either or, not both. Also, not that funny, not like the legendary Troops movie, and actually I find the cheesiness of the real Army commercials funnier.

["From my Room"]

Amazing

The author's comments, while sounding a little self-praising, is right on the money. The atmosphere and richness of color in this short was perfect. I have not seen purity in film like this other than Pixar's stuff.
