"SNS Blows Me Away Again"
date: October 2, 2005
It's wonderful to see another of the Stirred Not Shaken series.
Graphics - I loved everything, as per usual. The references to Metal Gear Solid were biting and hilarious. Just goes to show nobody does it better than Bond.
Style - Just like SNS: TWINE, this had plenty to spare. Especially in the action scenes [there aren't many, but they're good]. Like in the other SNS, it's obvious that you respect the source material (although Die Another Day was substandard) and enjoy it, making this a funnier and more tasteful parody. One thing you lost points for was that this didn't have a villain. SNS TWINE has a funny portrayal of a villain and it was all the better for it. Colenol Moon would have been perfect, or even his faja, General Moon. You got pulled up a point for that perfect timing to the music when Bond kicked the guy in the face.
Sound - Great! I loved everything. Especially that one song that I've been trying to find the name of forever but never could. You gained a point for putting it in the credits ;)
Violence - Not as much funny action as TWINE, but what was there was slick. And there was some funny stealth action. But what happened to Dickarus?
Interactivity - None, but I don't care. Like TWINE, you got two for the play button.
Humor - Ten for reasons I've already said.
Oh hey, I started Flash a few weeks ago. I'm using a gradient-and-alpha'd triangle for a computer screen glow effect in one of my projects--how'd you draw the triangles for Bond's tie? All I can find are circle and rectangle drawing tools. Did you distort the edges of a square, or is there a tool I'm missing completely because I'm retarded?
Author's Response:
Thanks for the great review and kind comments =)
Oh yeah, about Dickarus, Zictor was going to add a huge penis on his part (he was also doing DAD).
Btw, i like to count interactivity as all those thingies i added to the menu, but yeah, it wasn't really a game.
Ok, now onto your question.
I used the Line tool Or Pencil tool (set to "Smooth", minds you) to draw, No circles, no Squares (well, once in a while i use them and use the black arrow to bend the lines).
The brushtool + proper smoothing is cool too.
