Top notch content as always! :D

I love the art style of this series so much, the Black-White-Red somewhat Sin City style coloring.

For the humor itself, I personally found the whole cola bit hilarious, hell, I'm even going to say that the next time I eat/drink something good :P

Well you nabbed one of my rare 10/10s, great work!

ps: Did you plan out many of the lieutenants from the start once you decided to make a series of this, or are you kinda winging it as you go?

"Great Stuff!"

submission: Awesome Cracks Down

date: June 2, 2009

That intro is exactly how Crackdown is once you've taken out all 3 gang bosses XD

Run around, bludgeon the populous, smile.

Nailed most of the areas that deserved spoofing here, especially with the voice of the agency and the upgrades "COFFEE FOR EVERYONE!"

Score: 9

"Zhu Quan ftw :D"

submission: Drunken Stick

date: May 13, 2009

You know, I have yet to see a good flash on NG that has that martial art in it, and this one qualifies as a good one :)

felt a bit short, but animation was pretty slick to make up for it, and the fighting seemed relatively accurate to Zhu Quan

you nabbed my 5/5 9/10 :)

"Chaoz still has it's kick :)"

submission: ParagonX9 - Chaoz Airflow

date: June 19, 2009

Loved the track, you definately know it's ParagonX9 when you hear it, but it has unique vibe to it (and this strange old school Sonic track feel to it)

Man I'd love to hear some breaktrance sometime from you, this one has a strong trance feel to it while still keeping that DnB feel. Especially loved that 2:00 section to break things up.

So here's what I've got for ya, 9/10, 5/5.

Score: 7

"Has potential"

submission: Dj Lucky Thr33 - 128WTF

date: May 20, 2009

First off, the sub bass behind that kicker is insanely powerful

Now for the important bits:

1: You need to work on your mastering for this. In alot of areas I can hear static showing up from instruments being too loud, as well as areas where the kick "suppresses" the other instruments.
Use an equalizer or master volue to lower it a bit to clear up that problem.

2: A couple of your notes seemed off-key in the first half of the song, take a day off from composing the same project, then come back with "fresh ears" and listen through again every now and then to pick up on these spots.

Problems aside, this is a pretty simple sounding track that has alot of casual listening possibilities, I like the overall feel of it a bit. :)

Score: 5

"A little too fast"

submission: when Bass meets Drums

date: March 23, 2009

Slow down the tempo man! You're pushing it so fast the drumline comes out as a garbled mess. Try nudging it down to around 160-170bpm

I can get a feel for what you intended with this, you seem to know what you want to do, but can't find the right instruments for it.

I'd suggest you avoid the Hoovers for DnB, and instead try using slides on your notes or some portamento on the instrument itself, this will give you much, much more control over your instruments.

Another suggestion to throw out there is to start small with your drumlines, some of the best sounding drumlines aren't neccesarily the most complex.
Try starting out with a snare every other measure, and move 2 kickers around in that pattern and see how each location feels. From there, add another kicker if it feels like an area needs it.
If you want to pull it all together a little more, using an open hat every beat where there is no kicker or snare can act as a starting point before setting up the hats.

Keep at it, don't be afraid to put a trance sound into your DnB if you're strong in trance. Take a listen to Dumonde - Human [Ill Skillz Remix], that DnB track has a strong trance feel and is pretty solid
