[coloured madness combat]

Good and bad...

I like what you're doing, don't get me wrong. I saw your first Madness tribute, and this one is decent too. Your animation does lack a little of the smoothness and nuance of the originals, though.

Why not try doing your own thing? You are definitely talented enough to make less derivative work than this.

[Chaos Returns 2]

Holy crap

I'm surprised you didn't include some generic techno soundtrack. The movie works much better without it... in fact, it's very cool, despite the file size. Some people vote on size alone, but you know it's the motion of the ocean.

I hope you expand this into something full-fledged.

[Tum Ep.1 - Genesis]

Not bad...

...especially for your second flash movie. Very stylish, unique look. Good choice of music.

Magwai responds:

well thanks!

[Clock Bad Email]

A nice homage.

You even put an easter egg in it!

You (if it was you) do a pretty passable impersonation of Strong Bad, but the actual quality of the sound was kinda low, I noticed a lot of static.

Otherwise, a very funny entry. Keep it up!

[Pinnicle's Art Homework]

A nitpick.

Loved it, but one problem.

Lightsabers do not draw blood. Due to the intense heat of the blade, any wounds caused by a lightsaber are instantly cauterized.

I feel such a fucking nerd.

[Shadow Govt. Puppet Show]

Wow!

This looks more professional than some of the animation that's on TV now.

And so what if they died? If there's another episode the ball can explode at the end of that one too, a la Aeon Flux or Sealab.

[a small thing]

Awesome.

You squeezed a lot of plot in there without any spoken words.

The story sort of reminds me of Plato's "cave" allegory, if you are familiar with it. I'm not going to bother with retelling it here because it's likely nobody cares.

I would like to know from the author if that has any roots in what this or what the message of this animation was.

[Scorpion Melee]

Quite nice!

Sprite animation is indeed difficult... it's nice that you realize how hard it is, but made sure it looked good. There was a slight problem near the outlines of your sprites, but nothing that detracted from the look of your movie.

I laughed a few times, which is more than can be said for a majority of the movies on NG.

[Walden Pond]

Informative!

I wish my teachers had let me do something like this when I was in school. I spent all my time behind a keyboard anyway, so I guess I showed them!

[My Abitur / Final Exams]

believe me

I know how you feel.

I hate stupid people. They have to go to school, so I hated school by association. It's really just the stupid people though. There are a lot less of them in college, but man are there some fucking idiots there regardless.

Ugh.
