If you have a suggestion about someone on Newgrounds who should be interviewed then suggest it here on this page. You can send me a message as well. Please don't suggest yourself for an interview unless you really think you deserve to be interviewed... remember I still have to give readers an interesting read.
If their are any typos or mispellings in the responses then I do not edit nor change them at all. What they type is what I post.
Please be sure to read, comment, and share with your friends across the Newgrounds Community.

Well Newgrounds. It seems I have finally come across a flash submission in which I can honestly give out a Masterful Review to. I hardly ever give out reviews like this so if you want to give it a try then read my Flash Review Terms and see if your flash can be known worthy as a Masterful Flash.
1. These Pancakes Are Tiny
This flash submission deserves to have been showcased on the front page as well as winning Weekly Users' Choice, Review Crew Pick, and Daily Feature. If you haven't watched and reviewed this flash submission yet then you certainly are missing the opportunity of watching subtle humor at its best. This movie's storyline is nothing more than simple, but with the artwork, animation, and sound being so superb it draws you into the movie and makes you feel like the silent person with the two main characters.
2. -Play-
This flash submission returns to the old art of animation and that is frame-by-frame work with carefully made decisions. It has been awarded the Daily Feature as well as the Weekly 2nd Place awards. If you haven't seen this hidden gem then I must assure that you do see it while you still have a chance to do so. The artwork is rotoscoped movements in real life, but have been traced frame-by-frame. It presents a certain appeal forgotten or not known by others known as Stomp. It is a simple flash, but simplicity certainly does have it here.
3. The Liar - Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3
To save time I just counted the review of Part 3 as the review for all three. This series was certainly and interesting one. It's a simplistic renaissance storyline that can be enjoyable and entertaining for any and all audiences. It is an underrated flash movie that certainly deserves more attention than it has gotten. The Liar - Part 1 won a Daily 3rd Place Award, The Liar - Part 2 won the Daily Feature Award, and The Liar - Part 3 won the Daily Feature Award as well as the Weekly 4th Place Award. If you get a chance to watch these movies I suggest you do.
4. I'm Still Here
To some this may not seem like a true masterpiece, but in my mind I see it as a diamond in the rough so to speak. It is a flash movie that I believe everybody should see at least once. It has been awarded with the Daily 2nd Place award, and is truly a masterful flash in it's own. I can't really say much because the experience of viewing it will be different for each viewer.
5. How Are You Now?
This flash is one that I consider masterful. It speaks of an actual event through the eyes of a little girl. There are different ways to interpret it, but it's mainly the mind of a child within a catastrophe. It has been awarded the Daily 2nd Place award. If you want to take a trip back to your childhood I suggest you watch this flash.
6. War, Snow and Fire
I feel ashamed for putting off on reviewing this flash. It truly is a must-see! It hit the triple crown on Newgrounds by winning the Daily Feature, Weekly 1st Place, and Review Crew Pick awards. A story about a little girl, a fairytale if you will. I would like to say more, but by doing so would give away the story entirely. You're just going to have to watch it to find out.
7. The Ballad of CrippleKane
This flash has won a Daily Feature award and has been created by none other than AlmightyHans. An old western type flash presented beautifully before the people of Newgrounds. It's a tired old tale, but it truly never gets old. A must see for anybody who appreciates the Flash Portal and what it has given us. True artists hiding in shells.
8. Pixel
The first Flash Game to enter this list. It has won the Daily 3rd Place and the Weekly 4th Place, which I believe this flash deserves better. If you haven't played this game you really must, it gives the original arcade classic "Asteroid" a run for it's money. (who am I kidding, it puts Asteroid to shame).
9. Tarboy
The first flash movie that I consider to be absolutely perfect. Winning a Weekly Users' Choice, Daily Feature, and Review Crew Pick awards. Tarboy is a delightful tale that enraptures your eyes, hears, and mind. It is a somber story, but one I'm sure you'll enjoy. If you haven't seen this flash movie yet then stop reading this and go watch it now.
You know what. I happen to write reviews for flash movies and games. Sometimes that flash movie or game gets BLAMMED and then my review doesn't really count as a review anymore. Well from now on whenever I write a review for something that gets BLAMMED I will post the link to the flash here so for those who actually read my reviews can still read those that don't count.

This is a basic scale in which you will see in my flash reviewing. If you want me to review one of your flash submissions then kindly leave me a comment here with the URL to your flash or send me a PM. If you have a game for me to review then it may take longer for me to review your game. I do not review spam flashes.
I will always label flash submissions on the Good Points, Bad Points Scale. I'll basically tell you what was good about your flash and what was bad about it. Sometimes I'll give you a 50/50 Point Scale in which I tell you what was both good and bad. Within these scales I will grade on the following...
Perfect Score - If your flash is considered perfect within my eyes then I shall give you the recognition of a perfect score.
Artwork - This can vary depending on what your flash was supposed to be about. If you saw any sprite movies where I gave credit to artwork then you should be happy to know I will be giving credit to the rightful artist. If you use someone else's art then I will disable your Artwork Points.
Animation - This will not vary no matter what the flash is. If your animation looks lazy I will notify you on that. You can't slack on animation no matter what it is. However I try to slack on motion-tweening, so don't be alarmed, just don't constantly use motion-tweening.
Sound - This is an overall scoring of audio/song as well as sound effects.An added note is when the flash ends if your song keeps looping if you replay it then that's a problem, or if it is out of sync.
Voice - With so many prominent voice actors on Newgrounds now, I thought it only fair to separte Voice from Sound. So now you can be scored on Voice Acting. If there is no voice acting then you will not be graded on this. However if you have voice acting then please keep it in sync. I count voice acting as acting.
Emotions - This can be labeled under sorrow, funny, scary/creepy, fun, interactive, and etc. I will label this as part of your overall score if needed be.
Story - This is the most crucial part of all. Even if you have a flash game I would expect maybe just a small story to go along with it. If you have a terrible story then your whole entire flash just falls apart. If your flash is just a random flash or a collab then I will disable the story points.
Controls - This is only for Flash Games. I offer points for the controls in games. This can also be used for those interactive flash movies as well.
Gameplay - This is only for Flash Games. I offer points for the overall gameplay in games. This can also be used for those interactive flash movies as well.
Miscellanous - This is anything else I would want to add, you have no idea what could go here and neither will I until I review your flash.
Now then with all that above I will rank you on those above so you must be prepared for it. Now then for those who are confused about the way my ranking goes I'll give you numbers with it as well... However the numbers I give you for these rankings are only here for easier understanding, they have nothing to do with my overall score.
[ 10 ] Masterful - I hardly give out any of these. So if you like a challenge then try to make a flash that aquires at least one of these. If you do then you truly are worthy in my eyes.
[ 9 - 8 ] Superb - I have given out a small portion of these and I need to stop giving these out like I'm giving out a hand out so I've bumped up the level. These can be easy to get if you know your stuff.
[ 7 - 6 ] Great - I must admit that I am generous when saying something is great, I don't know why. Well these too are easy to come by mainly depending on your artwork and sound, more sound than anything else.
[ 5 ] Good - I use the word Good to make you feel better, the correct word would be average. I'm so sorry, but the truth does hurt. You don't want this, but it's not bad to get these either.
[ 4 - 3 ] Okay - Well it means I believe it is good enough to pass the portal at a low score so you'll know what is wrong with your flash and that way you can improve it.
[ 2 - 1 ] Bad - You do not want this. This is the worst thing you could ever get and it means your flash was just bad and could use a lot of work that I will kindly point out.
[ 0 ] Terrible - This is rarely used and for good reason, if I reviewed spam flashes you would see a lot of these, but I don't review spam flashes. However any other regular flash then yeah I will use this if I needed to.
[ ? ] Confused - Yes people this is a new one thanks to this flash. If I don't quite understand what you're saying then you will get this. It's not a bad thing... it's just I don't understand what you're doing.
[ ! ] Glitch - Here's another one for you all thanks to this flash. This is a bad thing and I will deduct quite a bit from your overall score because of this. You should always check through a game for any glitches. I can understand sometimes if you miss a glitch, hey it happens... but I will still deduct.
That's it. If you're ready for a true critique then just PM me or comment on this News Post with the URL or Link to your flash.
HAVE A NICE DAY!
