I needed that!

It hasn't been the greatest of days for new submissions, then THIS came along and its preloader was able to make me laugh, good job!
Concept wasn't particularly new, nerdy games reviewer yelling at the top of his voice to compensate for his lack of...well, everything, including decent games... But the execution of the script was solid enough.
Art and animation probably won't win any awards, but this isn't an art competition, and you got the job done. Homemade FLA was interesting, though for the length of time needed to load it would want to be!
Audio was superb. "Preloader Song" put me in laughing mood, the OTT games reviewer was parody-point-perfect (nice one Shafty) and there was no noticeable extraneous recording noise, which we all know is something of a plague on Newgrounds at times.

All in all, very well done. Looking forward to future installments!

This piece speaks for itself...

...there's no need for a long review. Ray 3 looks like it will be amazing. Ray finally gets to be a fully legitimate character rather than just our presence in the game, the whole thing drips with class. Let's hope it shows up sometime because we'll all lose out if it doesn't.

One for the fans.

It's a pity this didn't make the MGS Flash Collab, it would have fitted in nicely there.
I liked the concept a lot, though I am a huge MGS fan so that's not a great surprise! It shouldn't be criticised for that though, it was made by a fan for the pleasure of fans, and everyone likes to see the Boss :) it was well-scripted as well, perfect cheesy marketing spiel.
Art and animation was very good, in keeping with the high standard set by most other MGS parodies on the site - very nice to look at if you can forget that image of The End :P
Audio was good, well chosen, well implemented. Voiceover was totally on the mark for that kind of sleaze and cheese feel.

All in all, very good. A little on the short side, which would have been fine in the collab, but it does reduce its ability to stand up on its own.

Hilarious.

This is one of the best-scripted Flashes I've seen in a while. It was just so, so funny, every joke made was a hit and it perfectly captured that "TV Shrink" speech.
Art and animation was ok. Not likely to win any awards, but it did the job and got your brilliant script up for appraisal. And at least you bothered with a background :P
Audio was mostly good. The voice-acting was perfect, it captured just the right tone and still picked out every gag. However, the audio overall was a little noisy, it may be in need of a filter.

All in all, a great submission and I'm looking forward to future episdes, well done!

*Resists urge to make awful bee-related pun*

I liked this one a lot, more than I expected. Good animation, good audio, and cute subject matter. All you were missing was a play button rather than an autostart.

Epic.

This is one of the few vids to get both a 5/5 vote and a 10/10 review score from me. There's pretty much nothing I disliked about it!
Concept and script was excellent. The whole idea of non-humans trying to profit from human affection was genius, and the dialogue worked well (only ever deliberately clunky :P)
Animation was...well, superb. Well illustrated, well animated, often flashy but never overly-so. I couldn't fault it.
Audio was great. Voice acting was both well-executed and well-implemented, and the music was well chosen too.

Enjoy your perfect score, you earned it. Looking forward to the future installments!

5/5 - It's just that easy

I liked this quite a bit! You kept it simple, and the approach paid off. Plus, I quite like parodies of those old-timey instructional videos (ever since FF7: Random Battles Explained ^.^)
Animation was good, you got the sepia tone down nicely and the layout of the slides was true to the original. Simple animations, certainly, but the execution was fine and that counts for quite a lot.
Audio was...mixed. The background music was perfectly chosen and implemented, I wasn't so sure about the voiceover. While the voice acting was fine for what was required, the recording was very rough in a modern way (digital distortion, etc). It was the only thing that broke from the tone, but it wasn't quite a deal-breaker.

All in all, a very nice production. Keep it up!

Mmm! That's good satire!

That was extremely good. Having watched a new submission, sometimes I have to give a lot of consideration to the score I give it out of 5, but not this time. That's a "WIN" for you :)
Script and concept was fantastic, it was a great satire of our generally subdivided society (which undoubtedly includes the Internet, as you mention). There wasn't any dialogue as such, but it didn't need much, and for once I wasn't craving voiceovers from the second I saw the speech on screen (where would they go, anyway?).
Animation probably won't win any awards. Even given the fact that you used stickmen it wasn't stunning, but that wasn't ever really the point of this Flash. It was a medium, and you did just enough to get your brilliant script out there and viewed.
I wasn't overly-sold on the audio. The music you chose was good, but maybe it needed more. Sometimes the change from silence to music was little rough and jumpy, maybe some constant background audio would have helped. But that's nitpicking.
Using ActionScript to advance the story... Interesting choice. By using that to break the fourth wall, you made the experience a little voyueristic (and therefore made another point about the Net). But I think that it should have been made a little clearer to the viewer what was expected of them.

All in all, an absolutely great submission, a real gem.

(Oh, and was I the only one who thought House No.2 had some parallels with Rina-Chan's little "love-note" to Youtube at the end of More Brawl Taunts? :P)

Very pretty

Aesthetically, this is a masterpiece. The unified colour scheme looks awesome on it (I'm a big fan of those for "art" pieces) and the fluidity is lovely.
The audio is great. The piece you chose suits the video so perfectly and adds greatly to the ethereal, magical vibe.
The only issue I really had was the lack of a "play" button. Because of my habit of checking out other stuff while waiting for the buffer to finish, I'm not a fan of an autoplay feature. But given everything else, that's just nit-picking.
This was profoundly great, keep it up.

...and yes, it's always nice to see certain individuals in pointy white hoods get pwnd ^.^

This series just doesn't have a bad entry...

The art was absolutely brilliant. For some reason people gave out about Egoraptor's animation in Metal Gear Awesome (like looking good was even the point!) but no-one can give out about how this looks. Part of me thinks that scene on the train was just to answer the critics, the illustration is great.
Audio was great, brilliant voiceovers and nice sound effects.
Script = hilarious. "Where's my wife???"
A little short and sweet, but then so is GOW, so that just netted you extra parody points ^.^
