"This is good work, and it's not a real clock movie"

submission: Clock MOON Rising

date: May 31, 2002

From my experience this is not a clock movie. Clock movies are unoriginal, usually lack any coherent storyline and have bad animation. This is a good film, better than most entries on NG. Please watch it!

Score: 4

"Good animation, but misguided"

submission: That Silly Nellson*

date: May 30, 2002

I wouldn't have any problems with a gay, racist villain if it weren't for the fact that you were doing it for gags and laughter--and I guess to homophobes that would be funny. But for me (and yes, I guess I unfortunately have to state that I'm heterosexual since everyone assumes you're a "fag" if you stick up for homosexuals) I do have a problem with it. You're against racism but you're making fun of people based on their sexuality--don't you see the hypocrisy? I don't want to rag on you too much because you did a good job on the animation and characterization but you just seem go into the wrong direction with thinking that making someone into a "fag" is automatic laughs. Now if you had made the character gay and he couldn't recognize that his racism was equal to being homophobic then there might be some irony. Hopefully you aren't really prejudiced against gays and this was just an honest mistake. There's definite potential to do better.

Score: 8

"Great parody game"

submission: Balthor's Funhouse

date: May 25, 2002

Referring to last review, this game is not reverse racism--it's making fun of ignorance and also a little jab at religion too. Very enjoyable for those of us who have a sense of humor about such things. And "raghead" is a racist term too. Not all Arabs or those of the Muslim faith should be dipped in "Camel Shit". It's that mentality that keeps us from determining who our real enemies are and who is simply trying to live their lives and practice whatever religion they want to. So fuck the archaic KKK, and fuck terrorists but leave innocent people alone whether they're white, brown, black, gay or whatever. Good parody, good sarcasm.

Score: 8

"Worthy of watching."

submission: Star Wars 3: AOS

date: May 25, 2002

This was a lot of fun to watch and I'm sure it took a bit of doing to get the sabers drawn in on all of the frames. Maybe next time you can get a guy to play Yoda or even add in your own creatures somehow like the gladiotor style scene in the new movie.

Score: 8

"Not sure what it is but..."

submission: Scavenger Trailer

date: May 23, 2002

I'm not quite sure what the game is or anything but the graphics look pretty interesting. Kind of a mixing of styles from 2d to 3d. Maybe you have a follow up trailer that will explain more or give a bit of a demo as to what your game will be like.

I basically wanted to at least give you a review. The file size is huge admittedly but everyone deserves a review of some sort.
Good luck.

Score: 7

"Good game but...."

submission: BarbJump

date: May 18, 2002

I hate to be the parental figure who has to point it out but if you've ever watched racist cartoons from the thirties up until the fifties you would realize that the stereotype in this game is really offensive to African Americans, as well as black people around the world. The game is great, I just wished you would have designed a different character than a racist stereotype--and I don't say that lightly since I've been accused of stereotyping myself. I doubt it was intentional so I just urge you to do some research into it and possibly think about replacing that character. Nothing wrong with having a black person get barbed in the same game with a white guy, but not like this.
AND I also found it disturbing that not one NG reviewer found that stereotype offensive or at least noted it. I thought I was insensitve, but man that's bad.

Not trying to rag on you. A good game but a questionable character.

Score: 8

"Better than most"

submission: Keegan's Truck 5 - Part 3

date: May 16, 2002

Okay maybe the graphics aren't the greatest but I thought this was more entertaining than a lot of the short stuff on NG. And it's not like you have to preload it, the animation ran smoothly on my 56k modem which surprised me. I'd say great work for what it is and don't be scared off by the file size.

Score: 8

"Could be good for a longer flash..."

submission: Guyz: Short Gunfight

date: April 27, 2002

Looks like it has potential. Animation is smooth and characters have a style of their own. I'll have to check back when you have a completed movie to see what kind of storyline you'll have going. Good luck.

Score: 10

"This is still a great toon"

submission: Karma Ghost

date: April 24, 2002

I came back to watch this again and it is still a brilliant piece from the concept to the animation, plus the characterization of the karma ghosts.
Had to give a quick review here because the last reviewer was an idiot. Definitely one of the top movies on NG--watch it.

Score: 10

"Damn fine work"

submission: Super Console Wars Part 1

date: April 23, 2002

This took some work and effort. I'm not a big gamer myself but this was fun to watch. Definitly raises the level of quality on NG
