[Who Killed Ken Kutaragi]

Interesting.

You've got the skill. The graphics and animation were smooth, stylish and well made the voice acting was superb, apart from santa, who was too quiet to make out, and the use of music was excelent and varied, but it just lacked the comedy. The humor seemed extremely dry to me. It lingedered on that 'logic' gag too long, and that itself was a cliché. It seems that you've suddenly learnt how to use flash from proffesionals, and threw together the quickest storyline you could come up with as an excuse to post.

For example, the whole movie is based on the premise of Ken Kutaragi being killed, but what was the point? His character didnt develop at all, he didnt even have a line and he was on screen for less than a second. The fact you killed of a character which virtualy didnt exist in the first place made it dull, and dosn't leave the viewers to make up their own conclusions, then see if they were right.

Not everyone knows who Ken Kutaragi is, so the development was needed.

Anyway, keep at it, you've got talent there.

AceRaynor responds:

Thanks for actually giving crits. Personally, I find the voice actors to be the single best part of the entire movie.

Now about the dry humour - I like to use it. Just a preference, I think in many situations it fits a story better than soakling, wet humour. (See what I did there? Hahahahahaha....ehhh)

About the Kutaragi thing - I have a feeling you're right. Often when writing, I forget about the fact that people don't have the same frame of reference as I, which leads to allusions that few get. In this case, I assumed that everyone knows Kenny as the wacky party animal that he is - because I read about his escapades every day in various news sources. He was already developed in my head – which lead to him being underdeveloped in the movie.

[R&F Christmas Special!]

Yay!

And I thank YOU for using my music in an awesome flash movie ;)

Good on you, and merry Christmas :D

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Thanks, Khuskan!

My only regret is that i didn't get to use the whole mp3 to make this animationl. If only i had more ideas...

Shame shame... Thanks for the feedack and i'm glad that you found my work somewhat entertaining!

[Curious Lil Juney]

:o

Well... that freaked me out. It sort of reminded me of the stereotypical one-layer FBF shorts where completely random stuff happens, but this was mostly tweened, reflected good ammounts of flash knowledge and I got a small giggle out of it. It would have been nice to have had it a bit longer, you obviously spent a lot of time on those characters and drawings, and it seems a shame just to have them up for a few seconds.

Wonchop responds:

ta for the seven

[Vietnam Recruitment Tape]

:o

I have NO idea how you came up with all of that, but this was one of the very VERY few flashes i have seen that made me laugh out loud, causing embarassment on a large scale in the office. OH THE STEREOTYPING! its great!

<3

Ryan-Wolven responds:

make sure you show it to the office now.

[How Newgrounds Functions]

oo

That was pure ingenious, very well executed, but you forgot the endless ammounts of second-rate collaberations. newgrounds is getting littered with them ;)

EvilBerryClock responds:

thanks for the review

[Death Commercial(2)]

Curious.

Wheres death commercial 1?

The audio was clipped out, turn the volume down on it, but it wasnt too bad. i'm suprised. This is gonna make it though.

Doc-Rocker responds:

there isn't a death commercial(1), but the original idea come from "what am i"
so this is some kind of sequel
