Author's Response:
My, my, you've been busy haven't you? Do I really instill this much paranoia in reviews? That's pretty funny. I would have to say, your reviewing style is very...unique. But it is missing the main element that reviewing was really made to do: help the author make a better submission. See, you offer no advice (because you studied all my other reviews you know this is nothing new) and insult the author by calling his work crap. What good can come out of this? But still, to be able to end your ego-trip, I feel I must toil through this obnoxious review. You know, you are the kind of people that make this job difficult.
Your comparison of a two year old and my draw seems absurd. I doubt that a two year old could use flash, let alone prenouce it. And trying to make it animate, well, that's like trying to tell you that my stuff is funny.
By the way, I bet you are two years old, now that you mention it. That's about what maturity level you are showing us right now.
No effort? Wow, that's strange. I worked for at least a week and I didn't put any effort into it? Who are you to say there is no effort put into work until you actually work on something? Did you watch me and time me as I made FOG? No? Then how do you know how much effort I put into it then?! You anwser seems to be based on total bias and, once I again, you have not helped me make a better movie.
Have you ever submitted a movie? No? Then you just relinquished all right to criticize me. Sorry man, just using your words. Also, it appears that I cannot become president because of the following:
1) I was not born into a filthy rich family
2) I'm not from Texas (that seems like a prerequisite these days)
3) I'm under 35 years old therefore disqualifying myself to become president
But let's not get into polictics; this arguement is complicated enough.
Batten down the hatches...I'm cool with that. I'm cool with Arfenhouse. In fact, it was even at the top of my fav list (Until I found out that it was really popular. I don't like to have popular flashes on my fav list: it shows unorginallity.) I cool with randomness. What I'm not cool with is your conclusion that I wouldn't be amused with BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES! How do you know what I'd like and dislike? Eh? I know quite well randomness is possible. Gandalf appears out of cave, dancing bannana appears, Gandalf throws fireball thing at bannana, bannana sets Gandalf on fire, Gandalf falls down and crazy things fly everywhere...please don't tell me that the opposite of random because you are only lying to yourself.
"Do you think that people who kill accidentally should be punished but people who kill deliberately should not?"
Ok, let's see here. My anwser is no. But this isn't killing people, this is making a flash movie. I'm having alittle trouble understanding how you link this to invaildating anything. Please tell whoever told you that bit of wisedom that they are crazy or if you made it up yourself, please make your anwser alittle less vague and weak. All I know is that this was made to be amusing, not to kill anyone (however I think that ending scene had a simlar effect...).
I lost? How did I lose? All I lost was 10 minutes of my life to anwser your review. I've wasted enough time on responding to this review (you should consider yourself lucky, most authors don't do this) to argue about this meaningless affair on the BBS. You can go pick your fights with someone else. I've heard your side, you've heard my side.
But if you MUST talk to me and keep me from "cowering", I suppose you can review my other submissions. I think you may like them alittle better, however I doubt it.
Since I couldn't fit all that I wanted to say, please go here where I have posted my full response to your review.
