[FF4 Meets Survivor - Ep10]

Hysterical

I still love this movie so much :) I'm sad to see that my name wasn't in the credits anywhere... remember, I helped (kind of) with the preloader! By the by, it's really nice :) Keep the great movies coming guys!

This is great stuff! :)

I seriouly like how your series is progressing.. the homosexual references just make it even more silly than it is in the beginning. The useage of buttons to progress to the next frame/scene is a big help... now one can sit and read the text at his or her own speed. :) The major problem I find with it now is just the fact that it loads WAY too slowly, and automatically begins going through the movie while it is loading, and sometimes the sounds don't match-up, and in order to view it the right way, one has to be on a high-speed LAN connection, T1, T3, DSL, Cable, or such, but the dial-up users are only able to fully enjoy it as it was created by waiting for it to totally download, then rewind it and play it. I made a review for the first installment of this series, and I suggested investing time in making a preloader for the movies... I _STILL_ suggest you do that! :) It isn't hard at all, and you really don't have to know how to program and use the actionscript in order to make one... I will give you a direct link to a good preloader that you guys could use for the rest of the episodes, and your future works. The 1MB+ files are just a killer to have to stream-download. :) Here is a link you need to click on in order to take a GREAT tutorial on how to make a preloader...

This will help you learn how to create a basic preloader, and get you on your way... you can also do a search in the tutorials section on how to make a more advanced preloader when you master the art of making a basic one. :) I hope this review has helped you, but all in all, the movies are great! You just need to make a preloader for them. :)

Great

Hmm, I am an avid fan of the Final Fantasy video games, but I am unsure of what exactly FFIV is... I've played FFI, FFII, and FFIII, then I skipped all the way to FF VIII because it was a present, and thank goodness the final fantasy games aren't linked (storywise) game-after-game... anyhow, I have never played FFIV... I'll have to do some research on it. Anyhow, I really enjoyed this movie! It was pretty humorous. I have to agree with whomever it was who said that you need to draw some backgrounds... but at least you thought something original up, with your partner, Cloustadio. I am a semi-beginner when it comes to flash movies and submitting them on the web, but I do believe that I know a good deal of what is good and what is bad. This is good. :) The file size of the movie was MASSIVE... the only problems I saw that bothered me were that you needed to have a pre-loader, so that the movie could load fully before it begins to play. But I also understand that if you aren't using Flash 5 or above, you cannot make a preloader. :) Flash 4 doesn't really have that many actionscript commands. If you want to learn how to do some good preloaders, go to http://www.flashkit.com and look in the tutorials section "Preloaders".. the best ones are by Eddie Carrol, or however he spells his name. The second thing that kind of bothered me was that at the end of the movie, you didn't make it stop. :) Now I know Flash 4 has the ability to give the stop command on the last frame of your movie, and you could have made a button that asked you to replay the movie again... Hopefully the other episodes of your series will have this. If you see this, I hope that you understand that I was very happy and pleased with your work and I look forward to seeing the rest of the series. Hopefully we can all learn and grow and make some awesome flash movies. :) I have found flashkit.com to be an awesome source of tutorials and learning, and if you haven't been there yet, I suggest you do so. (both of you, and even you who is reading this right now) Overall, this movie rocks. :)

Amazing

This is my absolute favorite flash movie that I have seen at newgrounds. When I first saw it a few years ago, it was so awesome... only a few days ago, I was searching for this again, and today, by chance, I found it.... it absolutely rules. :) Great job, Charlie.

"Outrageously Hysterically Humorous"

That, my friend, has made my day. I was feeling pretty bad for a bit there, but then I watched this, and man, it was GREAT! Congratulations for such a funny piece of work. :)
