It's so very nice to have good friends in places you wouldn't expect. Like you on the internet, or the hobo outside that titty bar down the street that makes me uy him gin.
Honestly though, I really don't have words to express my gratitude. This birthday was pretty rough as I'm sure you know, and this really, really brightened up my day, which is something that's been a bit hard to do as of late.
But needless to say, I loved it, as I love all your work. I especially liked the "Chongo Box" for some reason - made me laugh fairly good. Whole thing was filled with some decent jokes, and I'm very thankful for them all.
Much love my man,

Interesting representation of the song. I always enjoy new montages of stuff played to the "Enterprise" theme, but this is the first one I've seen in flash.
The man on the mountain kinda made me think of Zefram Cochrane's statue.
Two major gripes:
1) Could've made the final ship look a little more like the NX-01 Enterprise, as I assume that's what you were shooting for. As of now it looks...weird as all hell.
2) You can't f'ing seriously tell me you like the theme from seasons 3-4 better than the theme from seasons 1-2. Come on now, anyone with their sanity intact knows that the theme didn't deserve to be basterdized like that :(

Interesting...I wasn't actually trying to make the ship look like Enterprise, it was going to be my own interpretation, but looking back on it it would make more sense being the NX-01. Maybe I'll go back and change that.
I also did compare the two versions of the theme before I started work, and even though in many ways the first is better, this one seemed to go better for what I was going for.
I'm glad you liked it as a whole, though, and of course thanks for reviewing!

I didn't even realize you were on my favorites list. I mean, you weren't on there when I first saw this. Weird, eh? But for dedicating this flash to me, I'll add you (again?). Really cool of you bro! :)
The flash itself was pretty neat. I mean, I'm not too big on most stick animations, but you seem to pull them off ok. It does, of course, have much room for improvement.
Critique:
- Obviously, it was pretty damned short. More length sir, more length!
- It could have used voice acting (I'm available) or even Speakonia or something like that. Also, the SFX could use more variety.
- The background needs work. It's quite, well, "flat" (not sure how else to describe it); a moving background (flowing water, clouds moving, wind, etc) would have fixed that.
- Sticks could be a bit more detailed. A face, accessories, or clothing, for example.
- It would've been nice if the fight progressed to a different locale, or even just to a different part of the dock, or in the water perhaps (swim fighting!)
- You totally needed to add more Nova. Everything needs a bit more of me. I am scientifically proven to add a minimum of 5% extra "cool" to anything.
Take care now;
