"Bleh at my voice acting...well done though."
Next time I would appreciate if I could watch the scenes so I could know how to speak in more natural and rhythmical way.
The beginning was like you said, a display of how you used to animate when you first got flash. Progressively your animating skills became way better. Although you say you wanted to keep the beginning scenes as they were made for the most part as a timeline, still think you just wanted to finish.
My biggest quarrel was the sniper scene...it was a kind of lacking in few ways....the block he was aiming at was not three dimensional like a block would be, and also the way he is shot in the head then gets up and says "fine I'll stop messing with Mike" was not a good line. It's not something that would be said because 1) how would he know getting shot was MIke's doing 2) If you survived getting sniped in the head, I don't think you would say that even if you were sure of who panned your killing.
The humor was good and I would be willing to voice acting for you again, I'm just pissed off at how amateurish I came off as.

It wasn't too bad, you just had a few disadvantages. I kind of agree with you on the sniper scene... Obvioulsy the kid wouldn't survive the bullet, but it is more of a metaphor for how annoyingly "invincible" my younger brother is when he is bothering me. Also, If he were capable of surviving that, he also would probably not immediately come to the conclusion that this was because of Mike's anger. I just have one suggestion to you for acting... keep the microphone in position on some sort of stand and cover it with some sort of thin cloth before recording, then adjust the recording input level untill it sounds nice and clear. That should keep the microphone itself from interfering with your acting. Also, with the timeline of animation thing... you are partially right. I did want to get it finished, but I had almost a month of free time before Kweaks actually got around to recording, I could have made it nice and neat, but I decided to keep it like that for the most part.
WHER'D YOU GO, BITCH!!!!???!??!?!?!!!?!!?!??!?!?

The game has nice graphics, but the gameplay is dull and has no replay-value. There is nothing added that makes the game interesting enough to play, and it would be a much better game if everything moved a bit faster, since there isn't too much time.
Overall, nice graphics, however, not interesting or fun.

This flash would look so much better if you added more detail. In other words, your drawings were too simplistic. Another thing is, there wasn't any point to it, nor anything to catch the viewers attention. For example, adding more colors to the sky. Honestly, it came off as you didn't put enough effort into the drawings and the movement of the bird was mediocre.
I think you should definitely continue flash because you have potential, but you should work on the way things move and perhaps add more colors and mesh them.

Unfortunately I don’t have much time at the moment to put much effort into all the details. As with so many course work deadlines coming up and exams just around the corner, I can only afforded 20 mins here half hour there with this kinda thing. Hopefully after Easter ill have more time to practice.
I agree that the birds flight was kinda crappy, but I tried a few other ways and this came out the best in my opinion.

Laughed at the bearshare porn bit.
The sound was a little distorted. At first it sounded like microsoft Sam.
I didn't know you were so good at animating now. LET ME MOOCH!
Hahaha.
Cheers,

I always was good at animating XD, nah j/k . Everyone keeps complaining about the sound, but actually I yelled on purpose... Also, I lowered my voice with slowmotion, that's why it doesn't sound clear. Thanks for the review.

"Talented animation but a huge failure in humor."
You're a talented animator. I really like what you did with the menu. The style of your animation was interesting too. The movement was good and the animation was realistic to the actual game.
The sound effects were good too. For speaking french your english isn't too bad. That was the least of the problem. The DU DU DET DU DUD. Got very annoying though.
You failed at your comedic timing and your script. The jokes were immature, which is usually funny but in this case for example in the peeing part. I can't say if I even smiled and I usual laugh a lot.
You should get someone to write for you because your a good animator. This flash as an art was above average but for a comedy it was horrible.

Wow Utah where to start....
The graphics were artistic looking even in black and white. I really liked how the guys goggles looked exactly like the NG logo. Maybe because you drew them :D . I liked how the colors blended in with each other too.
Actually to me the best part was your voice acting. I mean that was what made it so fucking funny. You have the other talent of changing your voice perfectly. I've never seen anything like it.
I also liked your animation style. It looked slick.
The humor was the best I've ever seen in a flash. It was a little random but not to overdone to the point where it's retarded. Made me laugh throughout the entire thing.
You have everything that makes a good flash. Hell I don't even care how the graphics are if it makes me laugh I'll give it a ten.
Oh yeah and if you want some help with the script I'll help you.

Wow I really liked this one.
You were funny this time.
The graphics were great too. This was your best work by far.
I liked the sound too. It tied together with what was going on.
In this case I don't think this flash would've looked as good with color since I guess it was supposed to look like doodles on looseleaf in class.
Was one of the people supposed be you in this?

"I'm not really sure what the hell I just saw."
Okay, the file size was fine.
I'm not sure if you were trying to make a humor flash but if you did it wasn't that funny.
I really liked the style of the drawings in this flash espiecially, but you need color to make it a little more eye catching.
The problem with this was, I couldn't tell what was going on, it wasn't interesting, there wasn't any color, it was way too short, random in a bad way, and lacked effort.
A little advice is to color your flashes and when you do to make colors that mesh and are more eye grabbing.
You have good drawings and graphics but if you used a good color scheme you'd get a 9 or ten in graphics from me and other users.

The graphics were as a basic as possible and extremely sketchy.
And the colors weren't meshed at all. You need to work on your color scheme.
I liked the idea of this which is why I gave it a 2/5 but the way it was done didn't have enough effort for anything close to a 3/5.
The movement and flow was really screwed up too.
The sound I liked but I think you might have wanted to choose a more classic newgrounds audio.
For a beginning flash it's good.
The style of your drawing seemed to stay the same in your flashes.
I'm sure you'll probaly end up deleting this because your going to get really good at flash.
Anyway I'm going to go check out and review your other flashes. :)
Later,

I don't think it appeared to me that you used a very expensive flash player for this because of the sketchy quality.
That I think made it more original and stylish. The graphics honestly were pretty basic and there was no storyline.
The drawings looked interesting though. You might want to work on meshing your colors in with the background that you used, it made it look weird.
I really did like this flash but not a lot. I liked your choice of music. Next time you might want to mesh the colors, make your flash a little longer, and make it a little bit more amusing by making it less boring. Nothing really went on.
I gave your flash a 3/5 because I saw you have talent but you didn't put all your effort into it. I think you might want to practice you frame speed a little too. (Not really a big issue.)
