Altarus's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[All NG Fads Die!!! 5!!!]

Yay! Another AFD

Hmm.. personally, I liked the music just fine. I also liked faster pace of the previous versions, but what can I say? Even though it was slower paced, I thought that it ended up fitting nicely with the direction of the flash and the style of the individual parts.

In the next version, I would like to see a little more more shock value personally. Just my preference. I mean, if its just for fun, I say go far.

The direction I believe was good. Spreading out Helbereth's part like that was excellent, though doing this with other parts might have enhanced the suspense a bit.

I have always liked how the authors reply to every single comment. Good to see you keeping this tradition alive.

I assume PimpinJ used the v-cam to change the perspective on his robot (I assume that this was how he did it). Excellent call. It was simple, but greatly enhanced the delivery of his part.

I noticed that AFD seems to get unfairly downvoted for a lot of stupid reasons. Eventually, AFD will gather such a huge fanbase that hopefully it can overcome the effect of stupid voters.

I know you just take what is submitted, but a preloader game would be awesome. Some people might get disappointed to go from having a preloader game to not having one.

I think calling popular flashes like Brakenwood a "fad" fits with the dark theme and slightly rebellious attitude here. Too bad others can't understand this and appreciate it like me.

LOL, this review is so incoherent. Sorry for making you read these all of these totally random and nonsensical ramblings. Take all of this with a grain of salt because I have absolutely no experience making flash.

On another note, I thought that this flash deserved more than just a nod from Tom. Hopefully, he will try to promote the next one as much as possible. This series and the authors certainly deserve it.

Radioactive24 responds:

1. I don't know what the big fucking deal with the music is. AFD4.2 had slipknot and it has the highest score out of all the AFDs.

2. The artists did not go heavy on blood this time. Not something I cared about, but obviously it's not violent to some people with intestines and gore flying all over.

3. Helbereth's idea. I take no credits for it except where I placed it.

4. I feel it's important to reply to the comments. Often times, I'll levae a nice hefty review and feel rather disappointed that there is no reply. That's why I reply to every review, positive or negative (Can't speak for Logo though).

5. Nope, he only used a vcam in the scene where the character was looking around. That's it.

6. I was quite pissed about that. When we got FP, our score got up to 3.98, where upon it was down voted to 3.85! I mean, seriously, Not even the SS movies are downvoted that badly!

7. No one really good with AS was around this time. Hopefully we'll have one for 6 to help ease the load time.

8. Holy shit. Someone fucking understands us. THE WORLD IS GOING TO END!

9. Meh. It makes one's day to get a nice, well thought out review.

10. It's Tom's site. Hopefully we'll get a collection soon. I believe that was the deal.

Overall, thanks for taking the time to write out such a hefty review.

[Hiroshima]

Right Decision at the Right Time

Most everyone agrees that the bombing of Hiroshima was a tragedy. Many innocent people died alongside those who were the guilty. However, it was a calculated attempt by the US to end WW2 as quickly as possible and with mimimum loss of life. They succeeded.

The previous reviewer, like most opposed to the bombing, is misinformed. In fact, the US had dropped leaflets saying that they had the bomb and were going to destroy Japan with it unless Japan immediately surrended. Evacuations of Hiroshima by the 1000's actually took place before the bombing. Also, the 2 bombings occured about 3 days apart. Japan had refused to surrender, or at least was slow in going about, surrendering after Hiroshima.

Additionally, Japan practices total war, which means that all citizens: men, women, and children were equipped to fight the US if an invasion took place. The expected US death toll in the case of an invasion was estimated at 500,000 to 1,000,000 with countless more Japanese deaths.

like i said it was a tragedy but was still the correct decision. Reality is harsh, deal with it.
