Kirby Meets A Bomb Thingy

"SPRIIIIIIITE FAAAAAAG!!!!"

date: December 27, 2009

LOL but anyway dude i can see this is the beginning of flash experimentation with you. I do believe for a first try,.... it was alright.. it was well animated sprites ( ThaT MEANS YOU PUT THE SPRITES IN CORRECT ORDER SO THEY MOVE FLUIDLY).. i truly mean that.. but i would recommend taking the seriousness you put into your audio and putting into your flash.. even though it is sprites there is alot of potential to make something awesome... but you already know that.. invest the time and make your own music to your flash...

But it is all on you if you want to be a serious animator of sprites

personally if i were to make a flash i would write a song and then take the mental imagery from the song and make an animation. Your a talented guy.. all you need is to have the time set out to make something of a more grandeur scale.

You have my faith in you and you always have my vote.

:P

Everyone has to start somewhere xD

Anyways, to summarize it, I'll probably make about 2 sprite movies and then try one animated one and then give up. You have to give me credit for actually making the movement sub realistic :D

thanks for teh reeivew :D:D:D

Loved the cute little story line.. and the animation was pretty damn good as well.
but in actuality i think the combination of the animation and the music really made this so enjoyable. i especially loved when the cat went to heaven to ask polar bear god to save the day.

-PdG- Kirby Rockstar REMIX

"FUCK le bomber le zzzero"

date: December 27, 2009

This is a great adaptation of a kirby song.. i put my headphones on to listen to this and is just cascades through my ears and into my mind...

The side chaining was really good as well i didn't feel is was overkill as most FL studio users do. You truly took this song and complemented it. in that aspect........MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

And dude dont worry about zero bombers .. they will always be there.. newgrounds is a place to build up your musical resume... just communicate with flash artists and try to be featured in successful flashes and one day if your serious about music production then you will have a slew of experience..... a remake like this is a perfect example of raw talent thrown into the competitive video game musical genre on the internet...

never give up.. PM me whenever you have a new song.. ill def toss you a constructively criticizing review.....

But back to the song... thats why im here right?....

the piano roll was done perfectly.. no sloppy arrangements, also the side chaining was at a perfect level to keep the bass and pads on the upstroke. the analog synth had a nice glide to it without overdoing it.. i really cant give you any advice because you perfectly executed this... i really mean that .. and thats why you get a ten. i almost went with a nine because it doesn't loop perfectly but who really thinks about looping when making music

shit dude im favin this cause you did such an awesome job with this remix. i know you sat there with headphones on getting the reverb and side chaining perfect... i can respect that
now just put this emotion int our flash experimentation and BRAVO.................... your a fuckin HIT

Sat here with SHITTY headphones and got it all right :D

My friend is actually using this in his Kirby Collab menu, believe it or not. I like to use Gross Beat for sidechaining because I can basically monitor everything form there. it's quite fun :D

The melodies themselves were a pain in the ass to actually fit with a bassline because of the key change >.<

I honestly don't care about the zero bombers anymore. I've accepted the fac that there is and will always be stupid people on the internet.

thanks for the lengthy review :D

One - Metallica Hip Hop Mix

".............. oh yeah im writing a review"

date: December 19, 2009

well i had no idea what to expect when i clicked on this. Since it got front page i was expecting it to be awesome. I was kinda dissapointed.

reason for the disappointment was that it wasnt even the complete song, second reason was the drum beat. There is SO MUCH MORE you could have done with that beat to make this sound awesome. Just sounded like you made three beats and posted them appropriately in the appropriate spots designated for the appropriate beat as other such appropriate times frame would find appropriate. Yeah the beat is boring.

But sorry for all the Negativity there. What i did like about this piece was the awesome guitar playing, even though it really wasn't the one composition, i was kind of expecting you to actually go into the solo, but i know this was just an intro for a friends podcast so it had to be short and sweet and get as much of the song in there as possible. I did enjoy the composition alot. And i enjoyed the overuse of distortion for rhythm guitar.

But seriously dude the beat was as bland oatmeal, saltine cracker, cardboard breakfast as you can get with hip hop beat making. I dont understand why everyone is pissed that you made a hip hop version of an old ass song. I really thing you should try to fuck with the beat a lot more. Think along the lines of Wu-tang clan Beastie boys Onyx and rage against the machine got into a free for all brawl filmed in slow motion and you are making the track for it with this hip hop metallica piece.

Still always love your guitar playing though :)

Thanks dude. I didn't spend a lot of time on the beat, which is plainly obvious. Mainly because it is just a quicky and I don't know enough about the genre to do a "real beat" any justice..

Tell you what, If you wanna develop the beat more, I would be more than happy to collaborate something with you an an expansion version and such for this.

8-bit shit again............

"OOOOO NOEZ"

date: December 13, 2009

NOT FUGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!. now i wont be able to get this out my head now.

well i know you didnt actually play fugue in d-minor. But anyway i dig it alot, has a great happy feel to it and the 8 bit composition is well done.
The percussion is well made as well.

i can see this being used in a menu loop for for a happy go collect gem monkey world type game.

You pretty much made exactly what you set out to make with this one.
good show!
