"Riddled with things that piss me off. So Addictive"

submission: Infectonator!

This game's got a few things about it that tip me off.
There's 13 stages, but good luck getting there, since it is so short.
If you mess up and don't complete stages 1-3 fast enough, you waste 10 seconds.
Sometimes, the infection doesn't hit anyone. At all. Four seconds wasted.
Other times, you infect people, then your zombies all die in a few seconds because LOLHEROES
Even still, you might have one retard zombie who just can't die who wastes 5 seconds NOT killing the people you need dead.

That being said, I can't stop playing this game. Bravo. That's the mark of something good--it keeps people playing despite defects.

Score: 4

"Huh?"

submission: *We Didn't Start the Fire

date: December 8, 2009

I understand that only so many even half-decent animations are submitted to newgrounds each week and so the front-page can't always be made of gold.
But seriously?

Animation: Basic techniques, reused models, actual pictures, and most of it was done in slide-show format. I opened this expecting some pretty dope transtions and fluid animation but it was mostly a flash/picture slideshow to a billy joel song. 4/10

Sound: Nice concept, but it's hardly original and since you just had to throw the audio on there I'm only giving you a 5/10 for this.

Entertainment Value: For what this peice is worth, it accomplishes little more than what the song does on its own. The supporting animation doesn't add much and isn't exactly a perfectly new idea, either. Close, but no cigar. 4/10.

Score: 2

"So, is 'collab' another word for 'terrible'?"

submission: The Disney Collab

date: October 5, 2009

I don't know how mediocre flash artists get off submitting things like this--and, suddenly, they get to all have front page status for something which is just as bad as the sum of its parts. I'm sure that meerly bitching won't merit anything, so here's why this collab is terrible.

Animation: All of the shorts featured mediocre animation at best. Very few frames, pans to one drawn image, so on an so forth. Really, it isn't anything new, and certainly not impressive. 3/10

Sound: The only place points might be gained is in this category, but some parts were ear-peircingly annoying and others required me to turn up the volume. A collab should have consistency, but that is a bit lost here. 5/10

Humor: Since this is supposed to be a humorous peice, I'll judge it on that standard--rather than action. Also, comedic flashes are supposed to be funny, right? This doesn't acheive that. Stale, overused jokes proliferate this collab, and the ones that are 'original' are either presented in an unfunny way or simply aren't good. Most of the jokes weren't even applicable to Disney at all. 1/10

Overall, the terrible animation was more laughable than the stale humor and the entire thing is flimsy on its own. One or two of the clips had potential to be funny, if worked the right way. Points for effort, but it seems like even that is a bit lacking.

Sorry for giving something other than a 10/10, frontpage Collab. I'm not as mindless as the usual kids on NG.

Score: 10

"Awesome."

submission: Ninjitsu

I recently made a copy of 'Snatch' on DVD and used this song for the menu screen. It has a very gangster/mafia/revenge feel to me...
It rocks.

Score: 10

"Epic."

This is my favorite peace from you. I enjoy the slow begining, then the quick "Hoo!" into awesomeness. Yay for sweet beats.
