[TRUTHSGIVING]

The part about thanksgiving being about killing is very low volume compared to the ghost. Try "normalizing" in audacity to boost the volume or recording from the same mic as the ghost.

Also Thanksgiving was about Pilgrims & Indians feasting together. The common confusion comes from when the Indians that allied with the French VS the ones that Allied the British. The encouraged resistance to push the British into the sea. The British however believed Indians lives mattered enough to throw "Tea into the Boston Harbor" to protest cruel Taxes. It called the "7 years war" which was right before the American revolution. After the 7 years war the French lost a lot of territory to Britain which the USA gained after its revolution, but the French allied Indians didn't want to stop fighting because when your on the losing team you literally lose your land as part the surrender terms. Next is the "Indian wars" & why a French man wrote the "trail of tears." Anyway point, we also killed French & British around the same time, so try to be more diverse in your racial slurs to maximize the number of people you offend.

dude it’s not that deep

[The Furry Disease]

Todays episode is brought to you by Google.

Seriously though, the space marines are difficult to understand in this on. Like the part discovering the magic toys. The end of how can you stop an idea sounds like You under estimate the amount of 'Fruit we have'?

[Maier Intro for one Video]

This hotter then your first intro. Its more of an animated logo then an intro. Intros usual introduce characters & plot. Its fluid motion but we expect more for an animation the just 6 seconds. Its may get a higher rating on the art portal as an animated gif.

[Ginger is missing]

Some of the text does not stay up long enough & its kind of boring to read that much text. The standard is you should be able to read the text twice if you want us have enough time to read it once. The girl on the bike is hard to see.
Assuming this is a complete cut scene for a game, the scene should be telling us where we left off & what we are suppose to do next. I take the girl is new character who giving medical opinion to keep Ginger alive & that we are either suppose to find some drugs or find a saw to cut off a foot. I'm not sure what our next task is suppose to be.

PerKGrok responds:

Thanks for taking the time to make a comment.
The dialog parts are interactive so the player can decide how long time to keep each text open.
Those parts will be extended and with different options for the player. [Telling the story through dialog is an important part of this game. Tasks is a smaller part.]
It is the parts between the dialogs that are cut scenes (=not interactive).

If you are more into the action part of the game I have one test scene on youtube

[Zelda Hero High (Ep 1) - Major-A's Mask]

Why is Lincoln unable to speak? Is Devi such a controlling girl friend that she placed spell on him? That could explain his unusual behavior.

Obviously Zee with be wearing a disguise to play smash. What but i winder what it will be.

[Seaman in the Black Lagoon]

That's not a male.

[Raj The Builder]

I learned how to make a puppet box.
For some reason the continual cutting technical difficulties worked really well in the this. Voices & stories were good. The twist at the end was great.
However, I one issue is the was the card board / window of 36 inches was to small for a person to fit through & looked like 10 inches.

softcactusfilms responds:

Thank you so much for your view. Yes, good point, Raj may have been a little distracted since you know his family was gutted...like a hog.

[THE BALLAD OF PETER PARKER VOL.0: In the beginning (Spider-Man Fan Film)]

The art is bit sloppy, but the animation is well done. The limited text written over pictures doesn't add much, the text only screen do help a little. For the most part the story is with picture animation, but there's a few times of 'what did I miss,' like the jump from 'school fight with the green goblin' to 'how did spiderman wind up standing on chair with rope around his neck.' Plus you have to be awake in order to stand up. The cut from 'being hung' to 'weird dream' made sense. Also you may want to try a better thumb nail showing some action.

nameherestupid responds:

Thanks for the criticism, I'll be sure to keep that in mind

[Objectives In Life (Apprise)]

This mostly non-animated stick figures, banking on the voice & topic to grab the readers attention.

The Gia theory seems to be, there's a finite set of resources including life, however, that doesn't mean people can't be happy with few resources. In fact, thru out history most people had very few possessions. You're essentially arguing that its a waist of limited resources for us to watch your videos, comment on videos, subscribe to commit to waist more time to watching videos, or even for you to selfish waist resources creating videos. In other words you have too extreme opposite view points offered in this video.

Apprise responds:

I am sorry it wasn't fully animated you are right, i have a day job and i just wanted to share my thoughts and stories with others, hopefully to help them.

hmmmm i think you misunderstood and missed out a lot of the key words i used in the video, you also seem to link it to other things like watching videos which is not a waste of time if you learn something. I am not implying that happiness or getting entertained is wrong but i do feel strongly that we should not work towards it blindly and invest too much into it without having it attached to something meaningful, else like i try to show in the video we mind as well just get high all day. I have also never said that you can't be happy with fewer resources in fact the whole example with the rich family was to show that the kind of happiness is not worth it in my opinion. Try watching it again with an open mind. oh and the part about the gaia theory i did say more than once that i am basing it off the movie.

Sorry if my video wasn't clear and gave you mix feelings but thank you for sharing your thoughts

[The Whole Journey]

This reminds me of the many 'my story animated' channels. However, it also has many of the problems. First the uncle & the trafficker look alike. She talks about the uncle turning a blind eye but not the aunt. Then after the uncle takes from school, there's no more physical abuse which could imply that aunt was beating her, but the way the story is worded ("family member") & shown (random red hand prints possibly from slaps) the viewer may assume the uncle raped her. She can't travel without a male escort but some how is able to meet up with merchant that just happens to be trafficker. Men are abusing me so naturally I run off with the first man I met & now I'm being sold daily. Really every single day? Then the UN rescues her for being "homeless" & puts in Hagar, which is apparently a women only building despite women not be able to leave the house without a man, because I guess all men rape. Why would the UN get involved in homelessness? At Hagar she is described as being like a feral wild animal that can't read & write; However, she's able to learn to read several languages & become a master programmer. Well hopeful the UN & Hagar are paying well for this advertisement.

sketchysquirrel responds:

Thank you for your review. I grew up amongst this work and unfortunately this reflects far too many peoples lives. Women and children are often dis-empowered, with trauma predisposing them to future abuse. In this story, I left many things unsaid, the depth of some people's suffering is disturbingly immense. No one was paid for this animation, I simply wanted to raise awareness.
