TomFulp's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nameless 6 Vol.1]

Wow, this is like epic!

This is chock full of great voices, goofy situations and funny characters. Way to go!

[Badly Drawn Dawg Series 1]

My new favorite series of the moment.

I just get such a big kick out of this. I love your stuff!

Splapp-me-do responds:

Wow, thanks! Glad you like it :D Love the site redesign, by the way!

[StagBeetle 02]

I actually do watch all these...

I'm strangely drawn to them. They have a hypnotic quality.

[Do not vote for Tom Fulp!]

Those old ladies deserved it.

I'd hit them again if I had the chance.

[NG can see you]

Don't give us ideas!

I'll admit it - I laughed out loud when I saw this. Ya know, with a little DHTML, we probably could have a giant, angry animated eye appear on the screen when people vote down good submissions. Getting it to interact with their profile window would be a bit tough, but it's tempting to try. :)

[A Newgrounds Moron]

I want more!!!

I thought this was hilarious, but would love to see a much more expanded version! Perhaps you could collaborate with BBS users to come up with a more comprehensive list, and continue to update this submission with new characters!

Fish-Head responds:

Thanks

A part 2 to this will soon be released!
More people, better music...the whole shebang!

[Enter Carrot Clock]

Do I have bad taste or somethin?

I'm sorry... Clock or not, this made me laugh. The voices were perfect!!! I'll stop before I start looking stupid.

[The Portal - A Message]

Ok... First of all, I don't want this review to come across as insulting. I appreciate that you are being supportive of NG.

Our bandwidth problems aren't primarily the result of crappy Portal movies. Crappy Portal movies merely take up hard-drive space on the server - of which we have plenty.

What does cause bandwidth problems is movies that are much larger than they should be. All of my Flash movies are 100-600k. Pico, for example, is just over 300k. Your movie, which was mainly text with a music loop, was 705k. It made it into the top 5 of the day, which means it will probably get more visitors than Pico for the next day. So yes, your movie is adding to the bandwidth bill by 2x the amount of someone playing Pico.

Again, I don't want you to delete your movie or anything - I'm just pointing out the irony of the situation!

As for crappy Portal submissions - yes, they are annoying. However, I think there are people who enjoy being on the same level as us (the site operators), and they enjoy seeing everything that we would see, and voting on it as we would. If we "privatized" the TOP 20 MOST RECENT list, it would still exist... except only an "elite" group of users would be voting on what stays and goes.

If someone wants to avoid crappy Flash, they can view the top 20 of the week, or top 50 of all time. No one is forced to view the TOP 20 MOST RECENT. There are people, however, who want to help run the site - and running the site means viewing a ton of crappy Flash movies every day. I salute everyone who helps us determine the daily top 5! Even if some of the movies use lots of bandwidth!

[NG's Greatest Hits]

I never knew people saw all that!

I've seen people post pics from the webcam before, but didn't think anyone had actually caught pics like the helmet and lost arm! Hilarious! I'm glad people are keeping archives of this stuff!!!

[Souped-up Civic]

I may never be able to put my finger on why, but Souped-up Civic has always been one of my favorite Flash movies. Something about the whole thing just makes me chuckle every time I watch it.
