"Hitler is such a swell chap."

submission: Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 07

date: April 7, 2008

This is the perfect place for Hitler to go to on his seventh day of his adventure. England is of course, the country I live in. It is also the country that gets stereotyped for "tea and biscuits", but hey, I find that imagery funny. What makes England an awesome country are the music bands/artists that came from there such as The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and many many more. :D This is the part of England that makes me proud to be English and nicely counters all the downfalls of this country.

What I also love about this country is the comedy programmes that came from here. Some of the most notable ones for me would have to be Bottom, One Foot in the Grave, Harry Enfield and many more memorable titles. Also, one of my all time favourite Video Games series Tomb Raider, happens to have been created by people in England! :O

So here, Hitler has greatly stereotyped England by having a posh hat, a monocle, biscuits and of course, a cup of tea that you should not forget about when it comes to stereotyping England (or Britain). Also, the Big Ben is the perfect background for the episode of Hitler in England! Overall, awesome flash and this has to be my favourite one out of all the ATWI80D flashes! Great work Afro_Stud!

"Nether Never Netherlands or whatever."

submission: Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 06

date: April 7, 2008

Netherlands, a country that I hear has some confusion with the country Holland for some reason. I didn't care about the confusion much, so I'm not fully aware about the whole debate about it. I have to admit, the only thing I can remember that has to do with Netherlands is Peter Pan, but I barely remember that movie now (which is a good thing).

So Hitler here, I'm guessing he's holding a special plate for the Netherlands there. It also seems he's holding some wine glasses. And the background, it's just a windmill, but it's probably special to the people who live in that country considering background images for each country in this series usually showed monuments. Overall, good flash. :)

"It was finally made."

submission: Metal Gear Awesome 2

date: April 7, 2008

I remember 2 years ago when I saw Metal Gear Awesome and I loved it a lot because of how humourous I found it to be and how well the style of drawing and animation went with it. And on that flash, I remember part of a line mentioning a sequel to the flash and it made me hope that there would be a sequel someday and now, here it is. Exactly 2 years later after the original flash was submitted, you finally made Metal Gear Awesome 2! :D (Yes, I noticed that both flashes were submitted on 23rd February).

So my thoughts on the flash itself. First of all, the graphics and animation are very much like all your other Awesome flashes, which is reasonable and I liked that. However, maybe I'm just being picky here, but I didn't like how the drawing of Snake here looked pretty different to the original. Other than that, I still enjoyed the style of graphics and animation you have used here.

Regarding the humour and dialogue, while it amazed me, I really didn't think it was better the original one. The original one almost made me die with laughter, while the sequel didn't make me laugh as much. However, there were a lot of cry with laughter moments here such as the Jesus and God, Otacon urinating EVERYWHERE, the misinformation about traps ahead and the nuclear factory part where Snake couldn't use any of his weapons just like the game itself.

I did feel that this flash made fun of the game more than the original did by saying about skipping ahead of all the scenes (which I remember doing when I first played it at the age of 9), the disability of the use of weapons in the nuclear factory and of course, having to switch controller ports to stop Mantis from fucking around with you, and many more. Those parts also gave me laughs.

The references to the original Metal Gear Awesome such as Jesus and getting shot at the end were blatant, but I still liked the fact that those were some of the very first jokes for your very first Awesome flash and were the same jokes used for the Awesome finale.

Overall, awesome flash and thank you very much for making this sequel that I wanted to see ages ago. Excellent work on making this flash!

"Wow."

submission: ScientLOLojyuuichi!!

date: April 7, 2008

I have to admit, before the whole Scientology protestants happened, I wasn't even aware of Scientology at all and probably didn't hear the name once, which I should be ashamed of, but hey, better late than never. After seeing this flash at a friend of mine's birthday party and some discussions on Scientology, I had to find out more about it and know what it actually is before making any thoughts on it.

After hearing about the beliefs of Scientology, what they do, etc, I don't really like/agree with them and even if some of the things they do I think goes too far, I won't be prejudice to anyone who happens to be a Scientologist, even those that I know that happen to be part of it such as Nancy Cartwright, Christopher Masterson (who I saw on the flash, but didn't remember who he was exactly until I did some research) and Isaac Hayes.

But anyway, onto the flash itself. The graphics and animation I found pretty strange and different, but still pretty cool. I did love the amount of different things that were added here such as the Lemmings scene, the beginning, the epilogues...There was so much randomness here that made me enjoy it even more.

The song on this flash was pretty catchy. When I first heard it, I thought it was going to be one of those singalong songs that I despise, but after a second listen to it, I started to enjoy it. I do like the fun it does take on Scientology and of course, the catchiness. :p Overall on the song, I thought it was humourous and went along great with the animation, although I'm not familiar with the song that this parody song was based on.

And for the flash overall, it was great! It may be based on a topic I wasn't too familiar with before, but at least the song did explain about what they're about and made it a fun flash to watch. Nice work! :)

"Phanpy :)"

submission: Adolf Hitler:CAI493+D 231

date: April 7, 2008

I used to like Phanpy because it evolves into Donphan. Donphan was another Pokemon that I liked, but never got round to having a strong one in my team. Oh well. So anyway, for this flash, Phanpy Hitler is great. Those massive ears he's got here are awesome. :D Also, he's got a kick ass trunk that looks very much like Phanpy's. :)

And the music, finally, a short break from J-Pop and Elvis Presley (no offence) and this song isn't too bad. The name rings a bell, but not the music. Oh well. Overall, great flash and I'm really looking forward to seeing Donphan on tomorrow's episode. :)

"Awesome sub-story!"

submission: Adolf Hitler: RCBRA203D

date: April 7, 2008

I liked how this flash is a reference to a review by Coop83 for one of the Pokemon flashes. :) The background here is perfect for Coop since he's a fan of cricket. And of course, Alice Cooper music was mandatory for Coop. Hitler here, he's holding Coop's bathroom rug that he borrowed ages ago, lol. Also, good to see Coop appearing on this flash. :)

Overall, great flash! Thanks for making another flash outside the CAI493+D series and happy 25th birthday to Coop! :D

"This is where Casualty lives. :)"

submission: Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 05

date: April 6, 2008

This is not a bad place to go for the fifth day, but Belgium...The flag is basically the three colours that Germany have on their flag, but turned around and re-ordered the pattern, lol. Also, when Hitler visited Belgium, I really hope he had enough time to say Hello to Casualty. :)

Here, I'm very unfamiliar with the stereotyping of Belgium. :( Something to do with drinking there and some book? I'm sorry, it's hard to make out there. Also, I find the background very interesting. The building looks very strange. o__O I really could do with being educated on what Belgium is like, but I liked this flash anyway. :)

"France :)"

submission: Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 04

date: April 6, 2008

I have to admit, I wasn't fond of the French language with the exception of the word Bonjour, but I have visited France before. However, that was only going to Disneyland Paris, so I've not really seen the real France. :( I wouldn't mind going to France one time and actually seeing the Eiffel Tower right in front of my eyes.

So here, Hitler has nicely portrayed a stereotype of a French person. He has the hat, the huge bread stick (if that's a huge bread stick) and of course, you cannot forget the background. The Eiffel Tower is right there, but I'd really like to actually be in front of it. :) Overall, great flash!

"Mama Mia!"

submission: Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 03

date: April 6, 2008

Hitler made the right decision by going to Italy after visiting Switzerland. Italy, I know Italy for their pizzas, the Super Mario Brothers and a few metal bands I can name that are from Italy (i.e. Rhapsody and Lacuna Coil). Here, it looks like he's got himself a box of pizza. I just wonder what toppings were on his pizza. Also, is he holding an Ice cream cone there? :S

Another thing, I would have preferred to have seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the background since I'm more fond of that than whatever you've put here. Still, this was a nice and enjoyable flash. :)

"Some unfinished business here..."

submission: Adolf Hitler: ATWI80D 02

date: April 6, 2008

I think it's about time I started to review all the ATWI80D flashes. I never got around to reviewing them all since this series started around the time I wanted to remain at exactly 1000 flash reviews.

Anyway, onto the flash itself. The second day of the ATWI80D adventure and Hitler travelled to Switzerland, the country that's not been involved in wars for centuries. I know not much else about Switzerland, except for the little reference on to that war Super Smash Bros. Melee where if you win without using any attacking moves once, you get a "Switzerland" bonus. Just one problem, though. I have no idea what Hitler is holding there. :S

Also, since this was made well before the CAI493+D series, there's some things on this series that I cannot complain about, most especially the song which was used for every episode on the main series. However, I do like the fact that the filesize is much smaller and much more reasonable size than the CAI493+D series, which is good. :) However, Hitler looks really pixelated here, but again, can't complain about it.

Meh, overall, I still enjoy these flashes and they bring back some memories. :)
