[Rise of the MK: Part 1]

I tried to give this a 10...

But to be honest I couldn't. This is an excellent piece of flash, but I've seen better in many places. The use of Titanic music was probably appropriate, but I hate it (reminded me of the bit in South Park where the Canadian government says they've apologised for Bryan Adams on several occasions), however the effects were good. The visuals were good sprite-based graphics, but weren't fantastic. The story was OK, but nothing special, which I hope part 2 rectifies. I don't like people using "to be continued" at the best of times, but in this case it was particularly poorly timed in the movie. The preloader could have also used a status bar so we can see how long it has to go - not all of us have broadband connections. The Mac version and DVD-style scene selection were nice features. So in conclusion, I can see why this is rated highly, but I don't rate it hugely highly myself.

[Dirty Vegas Mario]

Lame stuff

This was borderline blammable - it was too short, had the most annoying graphics I've seen in ages, possibly even worse than those seizure movies, and barely had any decent points to it. The only good thing was the sound. Just be happy it's clock day and everyone's voting happily.

[Your Captain Speaking]

Funny audio

The audio to this was really funny - it's a shame the graphics were so god damn poor. With a bit of effort to that, this could have been so much better.

[Empyreal Clock's Matrix]

Above average cartoon

This wasn't too bad - for the fairly small filesize this was great. Graphics were decent, shame it was a bit short and not massively funny. But a good effort all in all.

[Clock day 2003]

This just sucked

This was crap, pure and simple. At least a lot of the entries put up today had some effort - this just stank.

[The Joy of Golf]

Wasn't bad, nothing special

This wasn't bad, but was merely average in pretty much every category.

[Ninja Burger: Delivery #1]

Funny stuff

I can't wait for the next episode - this was funny, well made and simply cool. There could be small improvements here and there, but I've no major complaints. You might want to add a preloader.

[Clock Destroyer]

Sweet merciful! That rules!

Sums up lots of things perfectly! The actual flash was pretty good - the sound quality wasn't great though. Graphics did what they needed to, and lots of violence. Good job!
