[Time Squad [Part 2]]

Again, awesome flash work

I give 10's so rarely these days, but I have to say that this flash deserved it. The intro was awesome, and the additions of the scene selections, althogh i didn't need them, was most likely a good iea. The graphics were superb, and I had to watch the flash in medium most of the way through to keep the animation from getting choppy. The voices were done very well, and the dialogue was great, with Blockhead being his usual odd self. Granted, comparing this to the blockhead series is somewhat like comparing Family Guy to American Dad. One's more random, one's more plot-driven, both are great.
The concept is definitely awesome, whether or not it was from the old cartoon network series that was cancelled. The colusseum being occupied by the Germans was a little confusing, but then again, time paradoxes and the like are supposed to be confusing. Blockhead shooting spit at the raptor was probably one of my favorite parts, and I don't know why he jumped into the lava afterwards. I can't wait for Part 3 though. There's a lot more I want to say about this, but I won't ramble on too much.

The-Swain responds:

The German-Roman Colosseum thing, I think, is the result of some "What if?" in time where perhaps the Romans never conquered Germania. The Western world adopted most everything it had/has from the Roman Empire, but perhaps there never would have been a Dark Age in European history if Rome, instead of falling, had simply been conquered (as opposed to sacked, which happened often enough).

I like to pretend that my History degree is useful.

[Tails and his GBA 2]

Still awesome, but didn't feel right.

This was just as good a flash as the first part. The sprites were done well, the animation was surprisingly fluid, and the backgrounds, for themost part, were good. I love how you use the game paks as buttons, as I've said before. However, it seemed to lack the humor of the first one, although it just amy be that my tastes are different today. Also, the whole part with the clock during the Metroid scene was not necessary, and ruined the mood for me a little bit. You at least prove that some clocks make good flashes though.

RupeeClock responds:

I just wanted to experiment with an idea back then with the minor involvement of RupeeClock.

This animation was made, BEFORE I became RupeeClock, mind you.

[Felipe and Otaku]

What the hell?

The intro threw me off for a minute, as I thought it was the whole flash. When I saw the actual flash cartoon, I was impressed as far as it beign your first one goes. The graphics and animation were surprisingly well-done. When you say your P's into the mircophone, don't stress them as much, otherwise that annoying static comes along with them, and it becomes very annoying to listen to the flash. This was a good flash though.

philipmega responds:

Hey thanks! Yeah, I'm not good with sound. Yeah, the intro WAS kinda long... I went crazy there...

[Does size matter?]

It was an interesting short

This flash wasn't too bad, but it could'v been better. The animation and sound effects were done well, and the graphis weren't too bad either, although the background probably could've used some color. There's not a lot that can be improved on here, but it still felt like it was missing something.

[3D Vector Outlines]

It looked cool...

Despite the relatively cool look, I fail to see the point of this flash. There was no background, color, sound, or anything for that matter, with the exception of the vector outline itself. I liked how you made the replay button look, but there was really no point in replaying something like this.

[Tails and his GBA]

Very well done

This was an awesome flash. I'm a fan of sprite flashes to begin with, but this one was really good. Everythign basically fell into place in this flash. The sound was pretty much perfect, an dthe additions of Homestar and Kyle made it even beter. My only slight problem with this was that it felt like it was missing somethign somewhere, though I'm not sure what.

RupeeClock responds:

I know what you mean, I think it was the lack of footage in the Mario Scene.

[My Name Is Kyle]

Don't know why, but I really liked it.

That was a really addictive flash cartoon. The graphics were decent, but they felt a little primitive. The main bad part I had was that the music was drowning out the guy at a few spots. That being said, the flash was still awesome with the crazy backgrounds, the random mario appearance, and the general oddness of the flash.

RupeeClock responds:

Well you're welcome.
