[Weed Harmless 3]

Good, but no...

Dude, i kind of understand where you are coming from, but then again, i really dont. You really went overboard with a lot of stuff, and cut parts out which i thought you honestly couldnt crap your way out of, with crap, i expected the guy to try to pick up the kid from baseball, like, in his car, but of course he would have driven well, like every pothead does while stoned, he would have driven, gotten the kid, and taken him home while stoned, which is obvious that most people cant do, so i thought, wow, how is he gonna get out of this one. Then you pull that crap with the police making unfair judgements, but i wanted to see what you would have done if the guy got out the door, please tell me what you would have done, since you are all about making statements.

I think you have been rubbed the wrong way by police a few times, and watched a bit too much dave schapelle, hey, maybe you can get stoned and be ok, but you cant do everything a person who isnt high can, if we put you in a helicopter with a stoned pilot saying 'its cool man, its cool, hop in', i honestly doubt you would get in with him. I honestly thought you would stay on topic and bring up a few good arguments, but you really didnt, diverting attention, police prejudice, yeah those are issues, but you blew it out of proportion, a lot more than the drug campaigns i have seen.

But you do seem to be an intelligent stoner, maybe if everyone was like you, and was calm about it, made their arguments using creative media, pot would be legalised and used responsibly, but, laws are made for the worst of people, and it would be a lot worse if pot was legalised.

sorry if i contradicted myself anywhere or said stuff twiced, im baked out of my mind.... just kidding, i'm actually tired, just got back from the skate park, getting my 'high' off bmx riding, hanging around potheads who i honestly dont think should have easier access to the drug.

Feel free to review my review.

lookitsgecko responds:

I'll probably say this a few times but, you want overboard? Turn on your TV for a few minutes, go to a couple of websites including this one, open aim yahoo or any messenger and look at the ads, there is a blitz of anti-marijuana propaganda and no counter to it, especially not on the level they're bringing it at.

[Regarding the skit]

I was going to have the guy pick up the kid when I first started this skit, but then people would get on me about how "you can't drive while your stoned what are you some type of crazy person?!" So I decided to give another reason why he wouldn't have made it there on time in the first place and also show that he also could have made it if he wasn't stopped. The commercial basically says he "forgot". If you've got something like that planned, don't smoke, I mean you make the decision to smoke while your sober. Or just find a way to alert yourself. There are also plenty of scientific studies on the effects of driving under the influence http://www.marijuana.com/Exposing_12_1095.html click the little numbers for sources, although I dont recommend driving under the influence and thats why it's not in the video. I've planed a whole series of skits based off scientific information like the Overdose skit also, people love those facts/sources, they just don't like to read it for themselves.

[Da po-po]

I actually haven't been rubbed the wrong way by the police yet, I've met quite a few nice officers in the area from skating everywhere and doing school projects, I do watch a lot of Dave Chappelle though! You say someone who's stoned can't do everything a person who is sober can do, your right, and a sober person can't do everything person who is high can do. But it's not like I'm perma-high and I'm clearly not perma-sober, I can chose what activities to do in either situation. If someone flys a helicopter when they're high and they're not used to smoking well they're an idiot, and you'd be an idiot to get in with him, no argument there. I think people smoking would be flying a helicopter in maybe a video game, at home though... Don't you think?

[But, laws are made for the worst of people, and it would be a lot worse if pot was legalised.]

Really for the worst? Wasn't slavery a law? Women voting, did you watch all the videos? Now I'm saying stuff twice and I'm stoned out of my mind too! If pot was legalized it would be sold in stores not by drug dealers so how would the situation be worse? If by worse you mean the government would lose out on a large chunk of money that we pay in taxes for needlessly jailing people just for possession, then yes it would be a lot worse.

Funny you mention the skate park too it's my other high http://www.whatthefawk.com/SBC/ , if people think smoking pot messes with your reflexes watch those I guess, I may not be able to fly a helicopter, but I can do one on a skateboard, Kid: "Hey, can you do a helicopter?" Me: "No but I can kickflip back lip this rail." Kid: "That's weak, I can do a 900 boneless flatground in tony hawk."

I did enjoy your review though it gives me an idea of how different people feel about the subject, what direction to head in, and doesn't go, overboard. :)

[Ultimate Ninja Showdown 3]

NICE!

Hey man, i was wondering, were those 3D models connected through a skeleton? or were they just tweened in 3D? because the movements were pretty good, and i cant seem to find whether swift has some kind of skeleton function.

Thanks for making this series :D

PureCarnage responds:

Not swift, they are rigged characters converted to vector for the flash :D

[Total Randomness showcase]

.

This deserves a higher score than 3.5..

[Phantom_Fleet ep.1]

Nice

This series had better have some mighty good fighting scenes in it.

If it does, then yay!

I'm gonna keep my eye on this one.

[Service Announcement 2]

Hmm..

I see you are still responding to reviews for this animation, which is good, since its one of my favourites, and being based on the subject of reviews for other animations, im glad you have decided to take your time out and write replies to all these viewers. I think the voting system is good, but people obviously exploit it and save crappy entries, the only difference with this and the democracy voting system is that you don't have to be 18 to vote, and you can vote as often as you like under different names, and you can actually tell the guy who you are voting for what you think of him and his campaign (animation in this case).

And with those small differences, all the difference in the scores is made, with people writing immature reviews, people making immature flashes and having their friends vote them up. There is nothing you can do but bring awareness to this situation, what clockcrew guy is gonna go... 'well, the rat on the anima-ma-mation told me to vote 0 for my friends animation, so i think i will, because it actually sucks', none, they will always vote themselves up... they are 'crews, legions, syndicates, groups', and the only things that link them together is the ability to vote each other's movies up, and have the same opening screen on their animations, thats it, and your character isnt going to change that.

BUT, making people aware of what these clans are actually doing is definilitely a step in the right direction, and thats what you are doing, and it is definilitely worth the time you spent making that animation, because it is making people think twice about how they vote, making them think twice about how much time and effort they will put into a cartoon, and it will make them think about the feelings of the animator who's score they are submitting.

Once again, good work, make another one, but make it look so visually good, and make the script so well written that the point gets across to even more people, bring up some arguments, and really try as hard as you can to get in on the front page, nothing better than seeing a flash talk about cartoons on the front page from right there... on the front page.

Wholeheartedly agree with everything you said.

Later

Stabby

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Thanks for the review, stabby.

Sincerely, i don't care anymore whether this toon makes a difference or not, but it's just a fun way for me to get these things off my chest and to have a laugh about it at the same time.

Visually it can be much better, but you know i just didn't take the time to make it look perfect. I just wanted to make a point with a dash of humour.

It worked, i guess...

Thanks for watching!

[Swiss Goat]

sorry

im sorry, i just had to close it, he just kept standing there and blinking, for like, a minute, then you changed angles, and he blinked again, and again, and again, and again. I'm usually very patient when it comes to peoples flashes, but you wore it down very quickly.

[Table Eight: Episode 3]

Guys cmon.

Cmon man, put a TINY bit more effort in the design of the characters, add some shadows on their bodies, and you are on a real winner here, i voted 5 anyways, because, i kind of vote whether the submissions score should be higher or lowe, so i always vote either 5 or 0, you totally deserve more, the humour was original and funny, if you want to contend with the likes of tomorrow's nobodies in thie genre, you have to step up the visual just a little bit.

The backgrounds were awesome, in fact, i think they were too good, it made you characters look worse off by comparison, either tone down your backgrounds awesomeness, or step up the character quality, i really hope you decide to do that latter.

Good series, keep it up.

[TA:Aerial Assault]

YES!

Thank you for putting this up, i voted 5/5, total annihilation is one of my favourite games of all time, it is a frickin sweet game and deserved a lot more credit than it got, its air combat would still be a contender among other rts's of today, the way the missiles flew and everything was great. But back to the flash, yes, thank you for making this and reminding me how much i love that game.

KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR SUPREME COMMANDER! it is made by Chris Taylor, the same guy who made total annihilation, and it pretty much a sequel except for there being the fact that Chris is not a part of the company that owns the total annihilation title.

Very good use of the total annihilation sounds and units, i know all the units you used, and they were used well.

Good work man.

f1dd3 responds:

i couldn't agree more on TA.
and i will keep an eye on SUPCOM, i just hope it doesn't end up as an over hyped but just average RTS.

[Ratbag & Furball #04]

nice

your voice is cool man, it really fits in to..... whatever...

'now axyun!'

stoners-lunchbox responds:

Hahaha... Well, cheers!
