"Awesome"

submission: A Very PS3 Christmas

date: December 18, 2008

Lol, I loved the random freakout parts where the background changed color.

The PS3 is so worth it now though. Little Big Planet is like the newgrounds of videogames.

Anyway, great stuff!

Score: 5

"Huh"

submission: scr00g mcduc

date: December 12, 2008

I'm all for indie flash and creativity and whatnot... but this just wasn't entertaining. It was like having an annoying kid screaming in my face. You know? The kind of person that finds loud screaming and saying stupid things really funny. Maybe there was some clever stuff in here.. I imagine it got the frontpage because you had some decent animation/drawings hiddden in there.

I hated this.

But... you could do something really great... hopefully your style evolves into something more people can appreciate.

Score: 7

"Pretty funny"

submission: How 2 Succeed on NG

date: November 19, 2007

notorious can suck it. lol first of all.. but yeah this was pretty good and pretty funny. I really liked the voice over in the guys head. I'm sure you could turn this into a series, it's a really good format, especially how you make examples really entertaining.

Score: 7

"Great still"

submission: Thamesis - Episode 6

date: November 6, 2007

I'm just curious as to why you don't animate some of these things... I mean... u could at least make their hair move or something... the actual drawings themselves are great... but without actually animating it, it feels very cheap and out of place.

Score: 8

"Really great"

submission: Aladdin 3150

date: September 9, 2007

Great use of music and I really liked your style of animation, how you would sometimes skip certain frames and show the end result in slow motion(when he threw some guy into the fruit stand)

That said... not a big fan of him turning into whatever he did at the end. I also didn't really see why it was set in 3150... it didn't need to be that year.. and it really doesn't look like that year(I don't think..).

Besides that, you did something really great... this is something anyone would be proud to show off!

Score: 7

"A playable document."

submission: V-tech Rampage

date: May 17, 2007

I'm a friend of Ryan's and watching this whole thing unfold has been a very weird experience.

About 3 weeks ago Pigpen told about his game and that he was releasing it on NG. I didn't really pay any attention at the time because I didn't really think he was serious. Well, here we are today and he's on the front page of a newspaper.

The game exists as a playable document of the events that took place. People are getting angry at the wrong person... if anything this game shows just how heartless Cho was. Ryan didn't just create a shooting game and slap the name V-tech Rampage on it. This game was researched and it's evident from all the small details in the backgrounds.

Before he began the game he researched the V-tech massacre. The song that plays throughout the game was Cho's favorite, he would listen to it repeatedly.

As I said before though, this game illustrates problems, that put both the angry viewers and the game creator at fault.

On one hand, Pigpen is intentionally profiting from the deaths of innocent people. Not only that, it was only 2 months ago that this event happened. The families and the friends of the victims, practically the entire campus are still grieving about the deaths of the victims.

I don't think that it's a fair argument to say that Cho was a victim or that we should feel bad for him. He was a selfish prick, taking the lives of others simply because he didn't like himself. Ryan made a very callous decision to release this so close to the actual event...

That said.

The game is interesting and something that is essentially a playable newspaper article. You learn facts about the killer, about how he did what he did, and you are made to follow the same path he did the actual day.

Still, I"m afraid of the precedent this could set. Are we going to have a day when terrorist bombings are parodied the next day? I sure hope not...
