Words cannot describe...how awsome that was

They just can't...

[Snakes on a Plane]

This group is WAY overrated at this point

So Ultimate Showdown cartoon has been practically HOGGING a front page spot for nearly half frekkin' a year (which pretty much meant that chances are -1 for a decent cartoon to get on NG front page by default) - and it's only down now because the same guys who made US made another cartoon with the same graphics. Now, this cartoon is mediocre at best - it's seriously ameture. About 1/3 the effort that was put in UltimateS was put into this cartoon - With that said, this group could pretty much submit any piece of shit onto newgrounds and it'll get front page regardless - it apparently has 'special privalages' and a permanent seat on newgrounds.

I'm seriously disappointed in whoever BIASLY chooses the front page material. There are other cartoons that have been submited that deserve to have the opportunities that this attention hog deprives them of.

altffour responds:

It's not like we control the frontpage. Not to mention the fact we specifically said in the comments that it was a small sideproject we did for fun.

[Salad Fingers]

Well...

There's a fine line between funny in a dark/creepy way and just pointlessly ATTEMPTING to be creepy in hopes that it'll be fuunny that way. This is one of those plash cartoons that completely misses the mark and turns out to be a worthlessly pointless piece of material. I couldn't recommend it.

[Dancing in Key]

This was improvised?

For improvision, this was really impressive. The melody was very melow and flowing. It progressed like a peice that took some time to write. Thumbs up, really, glad I listened to it!

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Well hey, I'm glad you listened to it too. Thanx for taking the time to listen. :)

Deliciously Atmospheric

Now HERE'S something to truly be proud of - I was really impressed with the overall presentation, the mood, and the flowing profesional quality of this RPG like song. I loved the dynamics of the harp and its relationship with the ensemble strings and the woodwinds - great use of percusion there too - the percusion/melody paints a setting - kind of like a midnight forest mystique.

Once again though, I can't help but feel that since you knew this was such a good melody you CTR-Ced it a few times and didn't add onto it, which would've made it awsome.

MaestroSorrow responds:

you are right, I didn't much bother with more melody, as I had some other pressing matters to attend to. however the original file we'll be using will be different. Who knows I may post it up here as well.

[_-=[Insanity Inside]=-_]

Great progression

I love how the song builds with this same consistency/theme, yet keeps the basic theme in tact. With that said tho, it can feel repetitive in some parts [maybe due to the progression]. Still, I'm impressed!

MaestroSorrow responds:

it is repetitive at parts, but I will come back to this song one day. Currently building this song has put my computer to its LIMITS! Yes my comp sux. My computer failed 5 TIMES when I tried exporting this song, luckily it got through the sixth time.

One day ^__________^...
