[Sam Meets God]

Pretty unexpected

When I first heard of this title, I thought it was going to be something about Sam Harris (you know, the atheist). It then seemed like it was going to have Sam die and go to Heaven and meet God. I guess he did technically die, but not in the way I intended. It could have had some more laughs, but still fairly watchable, especially the part with the lungs shooting themselves with drugs (and guns). The animation seemed really similar to the Spumco stuff by John K. It seems like it could make a good series, it already has a theme song!

[Real Life FPS]

Quite flashy (no pun intended)

I was confusing this at first with an actual game that showed you doing this. While I would have liked that better, this was still fun to watch because everything was really authentic. It was nice of you to submit something that features flash to this website when you guys could have only done it somewhere else. The blood effects were pretty good. My favorite part was probably when the gun had infinite ammo. This is really an off-the-wall video because you show guys surviving after getting shot several times.

[JojoVill Episode 07]

The mall?

I was a bit disappointed that the characters did not actually go into the mall in this one. It was still great to watch because it had all the random humor that makes this series great. The funniest part was either when it turned into a YouTube Poop reference or when there were all those cartoon characters appearing. I love how everything is ridiculous and there is no explanation for the crazy crap that goes on. How did this series go so long without being featured on the front page? At least you get the high ratings you deserve and I love the new animation!

[C. Crashing Corn Boss]

Pretty good

I was hoping this was going to be a game and to be honest, I probably would have preferred it if it was. This was still definitley a decent flash cartoon because the animation was good. It must have been awhile since I played any of the games because I was confused as to what was going on. Well, randomness can be really great especially when it gives you popcorn. My favorite part was probably when the chicken landed on the corncob at the end. It seems like we should have more orange characters, as that's my favorite color.

I would make a simple CC flash game if I knew anything about Actionscript, but I don't, and learning enough to make a game would take a while, so I'll focus on animations for now.

[Hallow Statistic]

Very impressive

Boy, were there a lot of voice outtakes. Anyway, it was great to see where the A.E. series started, even though I am fairly certain this is in fact not the first chapter in the series. The other series featuring these guys was a lot lighter and goofier. It was interesting to see how these characters adjusted into a really dark environment. The animation is as great as ever, especially the fight scenes. You have put real emotion and personality into each of the character's voices and actions.

[Gaara's Jar of Dirt]

First animation?!

Dude, that is very impressive for a first cartoon! This has just got to be one of the most adorable Naruto flashes I have ever seen! I would not want to compare you to other music Naruto guys as you clearly good in your own right. The audio is synched up perfectly and darn it if Gaara holding up the jar of dirt isn't the funniest thing you've ever seen. I especially love Kankuro and Temari's confused expressions. Chibi Gaara is just so hilarious and it helps that this song is great by itself too.

[#15 Beedrill]

Now that's awesome!

It still seems as though you could have shown more of a battle, but this was still one sweet cartoon to watch. I can easily see why Tyrant-D favorited it as it appears to be a big influence on his work. It really shows off the idea of pokemon battling in the coolest way possible. I think you are really trying to add to the epicness of the battle and were influenced by stuff like "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann". The sound itself is funny. The way the Beedrill moves with his powers is so amazingly slick.

[Pursuit of the Falcon]

Who needs the movie?

Dude, I don't even need to have "The Empire Strikes Back"! I can simply watch it being recreated in such gorgeous flash animation as this. Everything looked so similar to stuff by LegendaryFrog, so I was surprised to realize he had nothing to do with it. While I have not seen the movie in awhile, I am fairly sure this is a word-for-word recreation of the scene. It is not actiony or silly, it's just exactly what the movie was! The animation was great with its characters, especially Chewbacca's detail.

[Super bird]

Not terrible

This was very mediocre, in that it seemed to have equally good and bad things about it. The bad parts were that there was so little that happened and it needed more of a story/punchline. The good parts are that the animation is actually really good. I was expecting something dumb when I saw this, but was actually a little surprised. Next time, you should work on making it longer with more going on. I will say that it seems as though you got the animation part down just where you need it.

Dipflow responds:

I also felt, when i finished and looked at the thing as a whole, that everything went far too quick and nothing really interesting hapenned, but i didn't feel like going back and revising everything.
Next time, the plot will be given more thought and be written down before i start animating!
Thank you for the input :)

[Drunk Ass Elf]

Hard to understand

It was great to see this animation, just as I was thinking about the Christmas season. It was also fun to really see how everything has depth. I am thinking this was trying to make a pun or something with the title "Drunk Ass Elf", but I'm not sure. This did not do that much for me and I think it is probably the worst thing you have submitted. At least you managed to get through an experiment well. I appreciate you wishing all of us a Merry Christmas and showing a little humor in the yuletide.
