Everyone in the computer lab at YSU thinks I'm insane. This was too funny.

"I love this"

submission: Nobodies Shorts #2

date: December 10, 2004

Storyline - This was a lot of fun to watch, and rather easy to understand. It had me laughing really hard. From what I can see, Chase will be a welcome edition.

Graphics - Always the best from all of you. They are crisp, realistic, and colorful. The blends of cold and warm colors always creates a fun environment

Style - Very unique, it's refreshing to have a storyline followed instead of having it sold out for poor tweening, slow-mo effects, and stick animation. How old are you guys, Christ TN makes me feel safer about one day handing authority over to the next generation

Sound - No problems here, great voice action, and natural flow of the speaking

Violence - I liked the baseball bat with spike, that was a nice touch.

Interactivity - N/A

Humor - It was great when the hat appeared exactly as the face was taken off, that was quite amusing.

Overall - As long as the great writing, smooth animation, and excellent voice acting continues, I will keep on being a TN fan.

Score: 10

"Excellent"

submission: You Cant Hide

date: December 9, 2004

Storyline - Hard at points to follow, but it all came together quite nicely at the end.

Graphics - Characters were drawn very well, and the polygon helicopter was a nice touch.

Style - The sword slashes against the night sky were classic, as was the total killing of all soldiers but their leader.

Sound - Nice audio capture, which flowed well with the animation

Violence - Man, you know how to make the blood spurt! It's right up there with McMillian (IMO). Keep making it gorier and gorier, I want to taste the blood!

Interactivity - N/A

Humor - N/A

Overall – If I don't see more flash from you in the future, I will hunt you down and destroy you. I hope this makes front page.

"Fantastic"

submission: Bender:Dressup/Soundboard

date: December 9, 2004

Storyline - While this is a dress up game, the elements leading up to the menu (i.e., Fry and Bender quotes) were very nicely done and flowed quite nicely

Graphics - The Planet Express you used in the menu sequence (the close up fly by) was of poor quality, but this is only a minor issue. Each of the costumes were rendered quite nicley and looked very good.

Style - Very nice selection of quotes and costumes, you've obviously put a good deal of effort into this piece.

Sound - Each of the quotes came out very clear aside from those that had background noises, however I doubt that you can do anything about that issue.

Violence - N/A

Interactivity - Very nice and easy to use controls. Each of the costume was easy to pick up and place. Two suggestions would be to make a change that would make the various articles auto-center once they had been placed near their assigned area. Also, it's much easier to work with the items that occur in pairs (e.g., shoes) when they move as one.

Humor - Very funny quotes and amusing costumes.

Overall - Well worked, fun to use, and humorous as well. One can hardly ever go wrong with Bender : )

"Nothing new here..."

submission: Random movie #1

date: December 9, 2004

Storyline - Really hard to follow, just a mismash of various suicides and poorly drawn birds flying/stick figures fighting with swords.

Graphics - A lot of work is needed in this arena. The end animation of the man walking/cat running were really well done, and I'd like to see more of that style in the future.

Style - Not much to say here.

Sound - Good music, but inclusion of sound effects would be nice.

Violence - Better blood/gore animation.

Interactivity - N/A

Humor - I don't think you were going for humor points here.

Overall - I hope that future work will look much better than this and be easier to understand. Congrats on being protected.

Score: 3

"Needs work"

submission: Szabo snowboarding

date: December 9, 2004

Storyline - This is a neat and refreshing storyline, I like the idea quite a bit.

Graphics - The graphics are terrible, they need quite a bit of work in order to be accepted by the very high expectations of the NG crowd.

Style - I don't think you really tried very hard to create anything stylish here.

Sound - The music was good, but sound effects such as an 'oof' whenever you ran over the snowboarder or a 'clank' whenever you hit one of the towers would be good.

Violence - This needs blood streaks! Gore! Destruction!

Interactivity - The gameplay was rather unrealistic, how can the snowplow more backwards? There should be more limits placed on player movement. Also make some collision animation for when the player hits the tree or lift tower. Shouldn't the snowplow be able to get stuck behind the obstactles and possibly even suffer damage from them?

Humor - The concept is funny, but the implementation is not.

Overall - Great idea, poor work, no effort. But please, try again with more effort.

Score: 9

"Excellent"

submission: glass danse

date: December 8, 2004

Storyline - The flow of the effects from one to another was very nice and followed a consistent pattern which I fould appealing

Graphics - I thought all of the graphics were very nice, the turning cubes and the scope wave in paticular

Style - This was probably the best part, I think you have a very natural talent for design and implementation of said design in concordance with music. Also, the click and zoom function that allowed the viewer to read along with the music was classic.

Sound - Although I've never heard of the song before, you provided a very good copy of it and you can never go wrong with a good Ralph Wiggum quote

Violence - N/A

Interactivity - Once again, nice work on the click and zoom feature.

Humor - N/A

Overall - I loved the animation and hope it gets protected and that you will continue to produce more work like this.

Score: 9

"I liked this a lot"

submission: TN Mad Libs - TEST

date: December 8, 2004

The Good - I found this to be an amusing revamp on an old concept.

The Bad - It would be nice if you could make the tabbing function work better (i.e., several entries were skipped when the tab button was used to navigate). Also, word wrapping could use some work.

Overall - The storyline was humorous and I hope it is protected. Keep up the good work.

Score: 4

"Why...?"

submission: Chuckles

date: October 5, 2004

This made it to front page how? There is no plot, the animation is gangly, the music is only so so, and the theme is tired and old. Your tweening technique is unrefined and shoddy at best. Character design is poor but to an almost to a planned artistic extent. Perhaps next time you'll try putting a little more thought into your animations. It almost seemed like you sat down and said the following - Well... I need to make an animation. It can't be very long, and its got to have scarier themes in it. Scary... scary... Clowns! Clowns are scary! and demonic toys, those too! Oh boy, front page, here I come! And some how after making this ridiculous animation that lasts about as long as college freshman's chastity vow, you pulled it off.

Score: 6

"Not bad..."

submission: Tip-A-Cow

date: March 1, 2004

I thought it was an original concept, but you could have tried a little harder. For example, different gravity settings on the moon, less traction on ice, more control over the character, etc. It seems the only thing that ever changes is the setting and the space between the level star and the cow (and that only minimally). Ok effort though
