Because of the small file size I didn't expect it to be very long. The only complaint I have is the size of the sprites to begin with. A bit small for my tastes. {makes it hard for an old man to see :P Other than that it was a great punch line. :))
I recommended this for a couple collections. Mario and Parodies. I hope it makes it in them soon. :))
Cheers mate!

I didn't size up the sprites and used a standard size window with them, which is like you say, a little exaggerated =P Also, thanks a lot for recommending this to collections!
Cheers!

I really didn't know you did flash Casualty!?
I think the flash did everything it was supposed to do. Salute Bahamut and make me laugh. I was highly entertained. :))
Take care dude!

Well, I haven't done a lot of flash recently, but back in the time I even made a pretty popular Mario game, hahaha!
Great to hear from you Ivan, take care!

I like this ideal of a weekly flash. I would like to see what kind of story lines you work into it. The possibilities are endless. Of course it is as you say, you must work on them so we'll see. Of course you could always make more than one in a week when you are really in a flash mood and save them for later weeks when the energy is low.
I am glad you are keeping the little dragon sprite and the sounds as your name spells across the screen. Good trademarks. I like those. Personally I like speakonia and its funny every time I hear it. Sometimes it comes out garbled when you import it to flash I have noticed but I think you did a good job on this particular flash.
Well, nothing blew up or exploded so I am disappointed there. Really I am. Its fun when things go boom.
I see the satan character made a return to your flashes. I still haven't figured out what to think of him.
Well, overall, I don't have anything to add here. So I will stop before it gets to a point of rambling. I will be looking for these weekly flash. I hope I see more.
good day mate :)

I thought speakonia would be funny in this flash and I think I'm right. :) You disappointed because of no explosions? Damn, I've not planned any explosions for episodes 2 and 3. D: Watch out for #2 to be out next Saturday. Thanks for reviewing. :D

I always like to catch your stuff as it enters the portal and under judgement. I like this. I noticed a bit of touch up on the older stuff. Good job there. There was a couple clips I didn't recognize and I need to chase them down and look over them :D
The end sound and flashing lights I have never been a fan of but I did enjoy crazy frog and that part was a perfect touch to the ending.
Cheers mate! You rock
Author's Response:
Yes, there may be the parts from the Sonic quiz that you didn't recognise or some other flash of mine that you've not seen. The only thing that hasn't been in a previous flash was the text at the end. XD
Thanks for reviewing. :)

congrats on having the first flash of '07. I actually was browsing thru the LUL and read about it there and decided to come view it :D
I like the spaceship in the background. The countdown to New Year was awesome too :)
The blimp in space? Well I have seen those at various celebrations for New Year but I don't think I've ever seen one in space. Nice touch I must say.
For sound, I love those little effects you put in while spelling Bahamut. Good sound quality too.
So, good luck in the New Year. May it bring wealth and health. {Not nessacarily in that order} And keep churning out flash. I love them :))

I like this soundboard as Starship Troopers was one of my favorite live action shows. I also like the animated 3-D movies if you ever decide to make one for those :D
Nice added information in this one and extras. Super nice touch. The links in the extra section open in the same page and I feel it should pop-up and open in another window. Thats the only thing I noticed. Its not really a flaw it's just something I prefer that way I can continue looking over the flash after I have viewed the website.
As far as the sound clips, there are some memorable ones here. Some from the action scenes would have been nice as well. I feel there could have been more sounds really. I like what you did with the buttons here in the soundboard. Cool buttons. I also liked the sound effect for the start. That is a great touch. I also like the scene shots.
Overall, I love this as it is one of my favorite movies.

I think of all the sound boards I have looked thru, one of the speakonia voice is the most original on the net. I bet this was some work thinking up the stuff to put in it. I don't know if you used sound clips from other flashes or typed up what you wanted speakonia to say but I loved this. Laffed heartedly I did :D
My mind wanders over the fun someone could have in making pranks with this stuff. Some really good lines are here.
Like the last guy said, the buttons could be dressed up and I still would like to see more than one picture. Evferything is solid in the coding however. Good job :)

I typed everything in! :)

The thing I noticed the most is you added Bart's most famous funny lines. It would have been nice to see more of the lesser known funny ones as well. I always felt Bart was the star of the show and the best lines went to him.
Again, as the last sound board, you only had one picture but it was a good one. Did you draw that or is it a print?
Well, the coding is solid as all the buttons work and features like "stop all sounds" is a great touch. This one has a nice music file. I like that.
Welp, thats about all I can think of so kudos and a good job on a great soundboard of one of my favorite characters :)

I've always been a fan of The Simpsons but this is pretty good in it's own merit. The one thing is, there are many, many sound boards out there and really you need to be different to get attention. I always wondered why no one ever added little pop-up pictures or animations to each sound. It would bump up the file size quite a bit but that would sure make it different. Speaking of file size, I am not sure what made your file size so big here. Only one picture but lots of sounds. I wonder if the flash has been optimized all it can be?
But anyway, I enjoyed the soundboard and some of my favorite sound clips are here from my favorite scenes. Overall good job

The flash itsself was just a slideshow. Mostly those type are frowned upon here. There was a good sound track behind the flash. The sound quality was nice. Nice preloader and at least you put play, and stop buttons in it.
This thing of using flash as a medium of expressing political views however, I am not sure its the proper way to go about it.
I also remember, and was on this planet during the great oil embargo of 1973. I had just started driving a car in fact. I saw gas prices go from .23c a gallon to .99c a gallon in one month. I don't remember Saddam being in power back then and having anything to do with it.
So, if you'd kindly cite your sources as I would love to check them, that would be great.
I bookmarked this and voted 5. I actually hope it stays on the portal. I have got to check this information.
