[klik say happy clock day]

Nothing

Well, I think there may have been a mistake in this, because this appears to be a blank screen. It's too bad this got such a low rating on Clock Day. You could have at least made this Clock themed by putting some Clocks in it. I find it amazing that so many people managed to contribute to this. I didn't hear any voices or music, nor did I see anything at all. It seems a bit impossible for numerous people to work on a blank screen.

I suggest next time you try to submit something. I'm guessing it might have a loading error, but I think this is in fact what it's supposed to do, with just the blank screen. Hopefully, you guys can all work together to make something better next year. There are so many better things out there. I think this might even be my least favorite thing I ever reviewed.

ChandlerThompson responds:

Ouch!

[Green riding hood]

It's different!

I thought it was really cool to reverse the situation. I guess most modern tellings don't have a sexual overtone to it, although I'm not sure if it was in the original version. It wasn't really so much a parody as it was a nice piece of art. I have no clue why anyone wouldn't want to make out with a hot girl like that. Hey, I'm so desperate for a girlfriend I'd turn into a wolf to get one! I knew that the color would show a twist in the classic story.

The wolf girl herself was really cool in this one. She didn't want to eat anyone's grandmother or anyone, just show off her hotness. The music played throughout the cartoon was also really cool. The only part I didn't like was when he struggled with the ropes. The animation just seemed off in that scene, but for the most part, it was fantastic.

Thank you!

[blobba blob blob]

Attack of the blobs!

Probably the only thing I didn't like about this was that it was not in color. Everything else was pretty much flawless. I loved how these monstrosities just turned into each other over and over. There are a lot of infinite loop submissions here, but yours are the ones that truly work the best. They know how to put order into what they do. It's the kind of thing you can look up at and always see new things.

The music is great, and the animation is wonderfully fluid. The cartoon itself sounds like something that would be in a zen riddle. When do these creatures start and when do they end? You do the surrealist community great credit with this awesome stuff. There's even quite a few variations in what they do. I hope you never lose your touch!

TheBoogley responds:

thanks again for yet another lovely and detailed review. Knowing that there are people like you out there enjoying my work really motivates me to create my best work. I plan to eventually colour this and refine the drawing, but this is the best I can do for this one month deadline.

[Cyberskull]

It deserves it!

Dude, you definitley deserve the reward for Daily Feature for Robot Day 2011! The coolest thing about this was the animation. At first, I thought it was kind of cheesy, but it definitley got better as it went on. You really went out of your way to put a lot of body movements into these ridiculous characters. If this was an actual thesis for school, I hope you passed with flying colors! It just shows you how a holiday can influence a person. It is the best submission I saw for this Robot Day, as you might have guessed.

The helmets looked a lot like the kind used in that game "Ching Chong" something. It's not as much about robots as it is about cyborgs. Of course, I'm being too picky because this is a fantastic cartoon! For those who haven't seen it, the final sentence contains spoilers. I imagined it would be real after all at the end, but not with the bird!

Nogfish responds:

thanks! there will be a sequel ;)

[psychedelic anti-drug PSA]

Anti-drug?

I guess this was supposed to be ironic, but I really didn't enjoy it at all. It just seemed to be unsatisfying with how it was just you talking with this weird effect. If it's anti-drug, it doesn't work, because it doesn't make me want to listen to. If it's a parody, it just seems too lazy. You should also try to put a "Play" button on it. Of course, I would be one to tell you how, because I don't know how to do that or really anything else.

The only thing that was cool was that it was pretty creative. Creative effects, however, do not always make something good. I hope this could be used as a way to see how you could improve yourself. Your voice is also a tad annoying, although I guess it was just supposed to be silly or weird, which worked. It also goes on forever.

SamuraiClinton responds:

If there was some software to use other than SUPER(C) where I could just prop a preloader on, I wouldn't have this issue of not having a way to put on a preloader.

[Second Chance]

Could have been better

Congradulations on getting the cartoon used for Robot Day 2011 (the new one at least)! This probably had the best animation of anything I've watched today. The downside was that it really seems like it led to an anti-climax. It just seemed like it was getting so good with putting an emotional side to it. At least the main robot managed to achieve his goal. The lack of dialogue also put a really good artistic tone to this, even if it wasn't that well done.

The coolest part was probably when everything was getting blown up! I didn't understand it, but it was awesome! It makes me wish there had been more of a climax with a big battle. Still, this seems to have the highest score for anything on Robot Day and I think it will win Daily Feature! And who says robots can't feel emotion?

hrechkaness responds:

Thank You for the honest review! I would have liked to expand more on the story but I ran out of time if I wanted to get this in for Robot Day. With that said, I am so thankful that this is being so well received. I may expand on this in the future or maybe make pt.2 for next years Robot Day :D Cheers!

[SMRPG Waltz of the Forest]

Who's Geno?

Yep, I knew that you were the guy who made this. The sad thing is that I know next to nothing about Super Mario RPG as it's one of the few Mario games I've never played! The thing is, I am actually not a fan of RPG's, but Mario's my favorite video game series! It really goes to show how many different styles he can use. It was great to see such a wide variety of characters, especially with how you drew them. You have true artistic talent.

The only thing I know about the game is really from the stuff you've made. Everyone looks so three-dimensional in this. The best part is probably when you show off the map of it so you can get a clear picture of what you're dealing with. Psyguy has a very sweet voice in this too. Congradulations on completing college and have a wonderful life!

Kirbopher responds:

Psy never sang in this song.

[Dragonball ZZZ]

Title fits

The weird thing was that this did have some really good parts in it, particularly at the end. A slideshow featuring the DBZ characters is awesome! I guess it was kind of self-depredation because you acknowledged how silly it was. I did think it was insensitive to show pictures of the 911 survivors. Then again, I guess it's going to be ten years since that happened, so maybe time has healed all wounds. It was also hard to understand.

I could tell you used Speakonia for everything. While I should be used to it, it just came off as very unclear in this. I also didn't like it how one of the images was presented in really low resolution. The stuff in the credits had higher resolution, so it seems more like you just didn't care. At least you had an original joke for a name pun.

Heil responds:

long review

[Meet'N'Fuck: My ass]

Eh...not good

I thought this was going to be a parody of "Arfenhouse" when I saw the house like that. I now know that's just your author image. Anyway, the coolest thing was how this revelled so much in how ridiculous it was. I thought it was going to be a straight-up parody of the "Meet 'N Fuck" series, but it really wasn't. The funniest thing was probably the sumo black guy. I recall seeing that guy in other places, I had no idea he was that popular.

It still has most of the problems spam flashes do. You should have put in background and a sound. I can't really ask you to improve it much because it wasn't intended to be anything that good. I guess you succeeded in making your submission ironic and having a cult fanbase like the original Clock flashes. Hey, that's my name!

[License to Combo 2]

A barrage indeed!

This was great to watch because you never knew what was going to happen next. The coolest thing was the animation and how amazingly slick everything was. I wasn't expecting there to be any dialogue at all, what a pleasant surprise! Another cool thing was how much I enjoyed it even though I did not see the original. You can simply never go wrong with stick violence. The use of color was flawless in this, everything just jumped out at you so much.

In fact, the only downside was that I wish this could have been longer. All the sound effects are extremely authentic as well. My favorite part is probably the scene where he throws that one guy in the venting shaft and he gets all chopped up. Killing can always be creative. The fast pacedness of it works so well.

Nhazul responds:

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Keep a look out for the next one, it'll come soon :)
