Its been a pleasant surprise of late, a few of you have actually been taking to my reviews heh.

I've been writing on and off for about a year or so now. With university going on as it does it can make it hard to get on here and have the energy to write anything. Having had the time lately, I've reverted back to my keyboard in my enjoyment of watching the flash works of the portal and trying to give the best, honest reviews that I can to their creators. Wonderful thing to be able to do that, pick something apart for all the right reasons and seeing people use it to their future advantage. It is something extra to do it in a way some of you have found entertaining, and true to how you felt to a degree.

Thank you to the authors who have taken it in a positive way. Thank you to the rest of you out there who have enjoyed my work. I look forward to continuing to hone whatever writing ability I have into something that can be enjoyed and used further.

Now, given that I am an aussie without knowing many on my rl mates who venture into Newgrounds territory, be nice to get to know a few faces around here. Say g'day sometime, its free lol.

Today I came home to find my first real non-friendly reply to a review. I spose this was too be expected. After all, when you comment fairly on excess of 70 pieces of work, bound to be some less than appreciative people. Well this is what I sent the gentlemen in response:

"Forgive me for questioning your years of NG experience in making a collect and sound opinion of your flash. Comments are there to provide feedback to you, thats what I did. "Error Message" is the name of the flash I was pointing out at your similar if not exact attempt at a flash idea. It was funny the first time, now its gotten old.

You are going to get criticism on NG, don't take it negatively. Use it, work with it, we all want to see you succeed and bring us future masterpieces."

That last section in particular I wanted to share with everyone. So anyone I review, I mean only just that. I want to help be another point of view that you yourself may not be able to see. My feedback is to help you as best I can, not knowing how to herse in flash myself yet. I do however know how to express what I feel and think in text. I have a good sense in picking apart a project to see what works and what does not. I may be wrong I understand, but for the 16 other who replied it generally was considered appreciated advice.

Anyhow, my mind's at ease. I'll hope you'll take what I said in a constructive way, and you're welcome to message me for a chat on any points further. Always happy to make a new friend.

Well joined back in 2001, and its only now I've actually started to use this account as i should have all the while. What a difference one long holiday break makes hey? Its been a release to the other writing I've been put through, that of two major assignments of insane value for uni due this coming week. Been nice to take a couple of mins here and there to watch something under judgment, write a review or two. But jesus, some of the shit that actually makes it past blam... i see myself as a very fair guy, but if I see shit on there it gets my blam. Taking a look at tonights blam list, i'm amazed at what escapes.

Well, he's my entry into the beloved newgrounds wasteland, hope to get to know a few of you soon.
