PatriotClock learns the future is a horrible horrible place

Ah, psychology!

The idea of someone getting freaked out by a radically different time is nothing new, but the way you have done it works, with a practical joke gone radically wrong.

I think that you need subtitles across the bottom of the piece here, since it seems that the sound is muffled for certain lines. With the way that everything else works, it does make up for it a little, but the discussion at the front door was a little muffled. Perhaps have the one clock start the other laughing and they both laugh together and then calm down before Patriot returns?

The other think I'd suggest is that the pieces move while they're talking, instead of the speech indicator. That would make your piece work well.

Thanks

Future

-Some pretty generic storytelling went on in this flash that I didn't particularly find that amusing for the simple fact that it has been overdone. People fake being from the future and unsuspecting person believes them and the epic hoax lives on. It became more enjoyable as it progressed and patriotclock did go to the future.

-The ending sadly could of been worked on a little better since the ending looks rushed some. You animated the last scene quickly going up the building and when he finally couldn't take the shock of the future and ended himself you didn't do any over the top effects that we so love and enjoy.

Yes I was running out of time with the last scene, as this was submitted for a Phlash Phandango contest. I had to leave the next day so I hastily put together the ending and shady bounced. Thanks for the review

Not your best work

The graphics in this flash are decent. Then again, the clocks are pre-made, and the backgrounds were really simple. The tin foil hats were actual tin foil hats copied into the flash, which is okay, at least you did good with the lasso tool. I guess that's what you used. I haven't opened flash in a year.

There was a lack of music, but that didn't really matter. It only annoyed me a little in the scene after he runs away from DNA Clock (?) and jumps, it left a gaping hole in the audio aspect of things. The Speakonia voices were easily understandable.

The plot... well, it was boring. It's a joke I've read in multiple comics before, and it's not funny any longer. The ending wasn't too bad, but it was okay, I guess. You could've done something more with it, and it seems like it was ended a bit prematurely.
