"uninteresting"

submission: Indiana Jones Spoof

date: 9 hours ago

Decent animation, you could have made something a lot better with a decent sound editor like Audacity or something, but the whole premise just fell apart as it went in. The thing with the hat was just confusing. Why would he wear a hat like that? And are you hating on Indy? I can appreciate a spoof when it's made with respect, since imitation is the highest form of flattery, but that all just seemed malicious against Indy. And the trailers I've seen look nothing like that.

"pretty good"

submission: : Door Holding :

date: July 22, 2008

I've caught flack for holding doors open, you get the quiz from some girls of how enlightened a male are you, and question one is always: do you hold the door for women? But it's like Foamy said, if you're a courteous person, you hold them open for everyone: guys and grrls and womyn. It's nice to see Foamy ranting about stuff that burns everyone, instead of more topical stuff, that you don't see everywhere.
I am glad that JIM got away from just doing rants, and got back to doing flashes with actual plots or premises. It's like with the infamous Mexico rant, that got blammed. I didn't think it was too bad, but it was over the top for foamy. His successive rant, praising Mexico, was a little bit like Michael Richards on Letterman after using the word N****r in his stand-up, but it's better to apologize than to do nothing about it. It shows that while Foamy is filled with squirrelly wrath, he's not a bigot. he criticizes hypocrisy a lot, but isn't really one himself.
I loved the point about how the baby carriages are like a personal barrier, very poignant. What better barrier between you and a mugger than your infant? They already market a baby carrier that keeps you from getting shot/stabbed in the back, and from the front, as well as a trailer for bikes that keeps you from getting rear-ended by someone with road-rage. Maybe we should take a newer, Swiftian spin on armoring our troops and start duct taping babies to APC's and flack-jackets. They're trying to protect our future, it's about time our future started protecting them! And hand to hand combat would be brutal when those little guys started teething.

"quick tips"

submission: Sprite maker

date: July 22, 2008

Since MS Paint has a mode where you can zoom in and use a grid, why not have similar tools, like line drawers, and a palette that lets you pick the color in which you're drawing, rather than choosing color pixel by pixel which is tedious after the first two pixels.
