[The Noob Adventures Episode 8]

Congradulations on having the best episode of the Minecraft TNA series. I knew it was only a matter of time before I would get to something that I would give a full 5 stars to. It really helps that the animation is some of the best it's ever been at. What's truly awesome is how they defeat the purple dragon. The funniest part was probably when the one guy put out his sunglasses and the other guy was annoyed by it. Yeah, I don't remember the character's names.

It even seemed a bit longer than the usual episode. I have never played the game, so I don't know if it's authentic to the original game. It doesn't seem to matter, because this was popular enough to win Daily Feature. The voices are all wonderfully done, too. I swear, I will never stop thinking that I have to click the screen at the beginning where it shows the start screen. It's an animation, not a game!

[Incident:011A]

I thought this was pretty cool, because you got to see that guy in action. I prefer a protagonist who shoots and stuff, but this is still great. I guess you're just tiding us over until the next Madness cartoon. These shorter ones are still good. It was so satisfying to see that guy finally be taken down when he had a grenade or something thrown inside his head. Those explode after impact weapons are awesome.

I thought it actually was done in a pretty realistic way. You got a nice sense that these guys were trying hard to take him down. They should have brought more guns. I lost count of the body count after 17. The animation is as good as ever too.

[Scrapyard 2010-2011]

It's interesting to see all the stuff you've worked on over the past couple of years that never got finished. A lot of Madness stuff seems to be in the Top 50 now. Anyway, I thought this was pretty enjoyable. I have in fact seem so many Madness things, it's hard to find stuff that original, but this is still pretty well done. I like how you also had a pretty appropriate title for it as well. You could have put a Replay button or something at the end.

Then again, maybe I'm just not used to using the right button part of my mouse. I think the best scene was in the snow. It looks like there was some nice detail put into all of the parkas and stuff. The sound effects are as good as any other Madness tribute. I didn't even notice the HML thing in the corner.

[Madness Science3]

I think this had some really good designs, but the overall animation wasn't that great. It's mostly because most of the guys look kind of bad with how they appear. I will give you credit for having some really good ideas that are done fairly well. That was what really saves it, especially at the end when you see that giant henchmen with the acid. The acid is, I think a great effect and it really causes damage to the environment. It's sweet to have the enemies have metal claws like that.

Not the best Madness flash, but still good. I think the sounds were synched up pretty well. I also appreciate how there are a lot of good angles being shown in this. It comes off as strong enough to make you forget that it doesn't have the best animation. Brush up on that and this could be better.

[The Steven Seagal Show #2]

This has one of the highest scores I've ever seen on a flash cartoon! I can tell because it has so many great action scenes and stuff. It's so satisfying to see Steven Seagal take out a celebrity like him. It's a pity Christopher Hitchens is dead (he hated Seagal, as well as Mel Gibson, Mother Teresa, Bill Clinton and everyone else) or he'd be dead too. I loved the insane ending. It's stuff like this that makes me realize how awesome you are.

I notice how the dumb guy who killed himself has a T-shirt saying that he loves "The Phantom Menace". Congrats to Seagal for being able to cut an entire fat guy in half. Granted, it was a dream, but still great. It seems like whenever I hear this guy being satirized, it shows him killing everyone around him. I'd love to see Chuck Norris show up in this. He would, of course, easily defeat Seagal.

[invasion of nemesis ep 3]

I don't think I'll review the fourth episode. Well, it's been a long time since I watched the first entry. I think the sprite work was actually pretty good in this. There were a lot of problems, though. First, there wasn't enough action. I have no problem with there being dialogue everywhere, but it doesn't really add up to much.

I noticed there were some spelling errors and when the characters show up with their dialogue, they get kind of a scrunched image of themselves. I think "Dragonball Z" and "Sailor Moon" are the two most popular series for crossovers. The credits also seem pretty slow. You could maybe work on having the characters fit into the series better. There's just so much stuff out there, it's hard to find stuff that unique.

I chose these two cause i did a story of them when i was in jhs of the redo of the cell games it involved the street fighters also. so i said why the hell not. i will go into everything in my new series.

[Cat Vader 3]

It's been awhile since the last episode. I really think it's cool how the voice works. It's not exactly like James Earl Jones and that makes sense, because it's a cat doing the voice, not a person. It's sad to think about what kind of accident might have burnt that poor cat's face. My only complaint is that the animation seems really outdated. Then again, perhaps that was the appeal of a cartoon like this.

My favorite part was probably when Cat Vader attacked using his red lightsaber. I wasn't expecting that bit of action. This seems exactly how Darth Vader would act if he was a cat. It's hard to even tell the difference between masks as the only differences are the prescence of his whiskers. It's funny from beginning to end.
