I am studying at the University of Washington to minor in History and major in Scandinavian Studies. I have no talent in Flash, but I do play bass guitar. I like video games like most people that will even come to Newgrounds. You have a good day!

Too bad your Mac only has that first year under warranty! :(

Let's face it all computers are shit. I could tell you specific times my computer has broken (nope, no porn involved), and all the times super elitist macfans' computers have broken. Mr. Winchester knows what he's talking about. These tools are just tools. And sooner or later they are going to suck.

Though I'm happy you're happy with your computer :)

"Awesome, to say the least"

Since creating an account to comment on your latest Siblings episode, I've taken the pleasure of watching all your videos on youtube, visiting your website, and deviantart page. That may sound creepy, hopefully not, but neverless I'm impressed and am definitely a fan.
Like you said about this project, you really like it and appreciated the opportunity to do it because it really is so different than your usual work and focus, and that's why I like it too. I mean honestly, it was creepy, the music fit in perfectly and it really set its mood, and that only furthers the point that you're capable of multiple genres. The perfect Silent Hill-esque mooding is what also made the Purity section even more important and incredible, especially with AP's What You Never Became playing in the background. I can't express how perfect this project seemed to come out.
This dark toned project shows that you are extremely creative, because it's so different than what we're used to seeing (heh, I can say that now that I've taken the time to see everything).
One thing that I read numerous times on your Not-so- Final Fantasy episode is that people are asking you for more video game reviews. You really did nail FFXII right on, but you aren't the angry video game nerd. Your episodes poke fun, deservedly, at Runesuck and other video games but that's just part of the comedic aspect of your work. I'm glad you say things like "nah no more FFXII reviews" and "nope no 7 reviews anytime soon" because you're doing these episodes how you see them and they are great. Although, I do admit the fixation on lobster arms is worthy of a roast. Anyway, I'm not exactly qualified to critique you on quality of art, sound, flashy whatever stuff, because I'm not at all familiar with anything artistic. I can, however, critique your content; but there's really no need. You're talented, you have all sorts of subtle, and not so subtle humor, even inside jokes that are easy to catch on to. I can only really second the others in saying "keep doing what your doing!"

Well Kupo, sir, errr, I mean Kudos! I seem to also confuse the two!

Thanks for the review, man, I appreciate the time it took to write all that meaningful observation. I'm glad this struck a cord with you, because it did with me too. I just hope to do a sequel that takes the ideas presented here and further explores them. I need to develop the idea still, but it's going to rule upon completion. Plus, I want to elaborate more on the interactive elements so it won't be mistaken for an 'animation with a super complex menu system', as some have labeled this entree. Thanks for the comment again!

I know don't who you are or where you came from but it must be someplace boring like Washington or Minnesota to have taken the time to create something so perfect.

10 for you!

Not-The-Final Fantasy XII

"Nothing bad to say that's for sure."

date: April 25, 2008

First of all I would like to let you know I just made an account so I could write a review of this flash.
So there's no need for the history of my life, but here's a small glimpse. The last time I was at newgrounds was probably my junior year of highschool, when I would play the flash games quite frequently. Now I'm a junior at the University of Washington, bored out of my mind. So I decided to head to the newgrounds and I have spent the last couple hours watching videos. This one, however, is the one that is worthy of me making an account for the sole purpose of reviewing this one video.
As many people have undoubtedly said, you're RIGHT on with all your Vaan-bashing. He's ALWAYS lower than everyone else, but then again I neglected Penelo just as much.
Anyway, it's newgrounds fault that this is so long for allowing me to put in so many characters in my review. All I can say is that all your references to other games worked and felt perfect, as did the reference to TEENWOLF! I read the review about commenting on how sometimes it's hard to understand exactly what you're saying. This reviewer was probably talking about the moments when you are first getting into a rant. I think it's perfect though; it is slightly hard to understand if you aren't paying attention, but who is perfectly audible when they are ranting? Also, I have no idea how a reviewer called your video cliche for having white characters talking about video games.
Anyway I could use up the remaining 2,593 characters but I'm sure you have better things than to read this long and meaningless review.

To you, sir- job well done!

p.s. awesome flash animation and play/pause feature!

Wow, thanks for making the account to say all that, man, I enjoy reading thorough reviews with thought put into them. You could've just wrote 'hey, that was GREAT MAKE MORE', but you actually took the time to comment on not only the animation, but what other people have said. Kudos to you, my friend. No, not Kupo, Kudos. I always mix the two up myself, so I figured I'd clear that up. And yeah, the chick who was complaining about everything being trite and white.. I have no idea what was wrong with that chick. Oh well, can't please everybody. Thanks for the review!
