[Bad kitty]

not bad but

i apologize, i can't give it a higher rating.

[Richard Gatling]

you know your history mate.

that said, i'd like to tell you a little about the "true machine gun" in which the recoil or gas from fired cartridges is used to drive the mechanisms to eject, cock, and feed the gun.

funny you should mention that during the 1890's Gatling went bankrupt. it was due to Hiram Maxim, inventor of the recoil-operated Maxim machine gun (the first true MG) taking over what Gatling formerly enjoyed.

in this weapon the round's rearward-directed energy from firing - recoil - was used to operated the block which ejected the spent case (this gun used brass cartridges and later, cordite propellants- another advantage over early Gatling guns), re-engaged the trigger lock, flew back and stripped a fresh round off into the breech. this cycle repeated at 400 times a minute until something gave - ammo, gunner, barrel warpage, etc. Also prominent was the use of a water jacket which so characterized WW1 weapons, not including French Hotchkiss aircooled guns and the like.

did you know, there were 2 versions of the crank-operated gun (gatling, williams)? The gatling fired off 0.60-caliber rounds from 6 or so barrels rotating around, while the williams gun used 40mm (2 pounder) rounds. both used black powder, and fed from above via a chute that was manually fed with paper cartridges as the crank was spun around. both, therefore, were manually-operated cranked guns... not exactly a machine gun, if you consider the technicalities.

whereas the maxim gun operated with the classic 7.92mm and 0.303 cal rounds, the gun proved to be a better seller in Europe compared to the Gatling- hence gatling's bankruptcy.

all in all, this flash should be highly informative! i see you didn't overlook humor in this one either. good work.

[I Have Bird]

just plain hilarious

nuff said.

[Resident Evil 4 Animation]

i don't care -

- if the sound quality was kaput. i liked the jokes. hell, even those references not only to RE but the mutant turtles, the mermaid movie thingy (forgot the title lol), even yogi bear! i never knew something could be done to unite all these things together. great work.

Anax responds:

okay... tahnks

[Office Times]

i don't think -

-you deserve only a 5th place. this belongs to the top 3 slots... fabulous camera work man. good humor and voice acting and soundtrack.

[Tiny Japanese Girl]

very nice

i'm not a big fan of techno or music other than power metal, but dang! this is very well made and the tune is very infectious and catchy!

[My Little Ponies-Cupcakes]

i don't think -

- this deserves the title "underdog". a really well-made short. i liked it.

[Wilhelm Park]

reminds me of the 80's

animation = modern; self-developed. i can see that by watching it; though you do (i think everyone is) have some influence from the anime school of animation.

story = charming and suspenseful; the "rape" at the end is conducted with just the right amount of skin to get the imagination running.

special effects = superb. i really don't know how to make those myself but when they work together they create a very "immersive" environment.

voice acting = i wonder if i can invite you two to lend your voices for my own flash project? that is how i see - or hear - your vocal acting is. (it's a compliment hehehe) my stuff is definitely "suckier" than yours though XD

all in all = 10/10 what's not to like? =)

[asdfmovie3]

i like trains too!

i have just one question - since when did humor have to make sense? quoting another review, "randomness at its best", puts a fine point on it.

otherwise, great job. excellent voice characterizations and witty one-liners.

i was tempted to write something about backgrounds and nitpick stuff but "screw that". =) it's just fine the way it is.

[Abobo: Weed all day]

nothing too special but

from where i am adobo is a lipsmacking example of food. very garlicky and tastes better than weed actually! don't get me wrong, i don't smoke weed (tried it 3X and didn't like it one bit).
