[Tales of Alethrion - Opening Theme: "Sky High"]

I have only 2 issues with this:
1. The song is to awesome to be that short!
2. who do I tell "shut up and take my money!" so I can download that song!!

[I'm too Awkward for My Own Good.]

great video well made, funny, and completely relatable! i'm so awkward I've been sitting here for 10 min. trying think of a way to segue into a story about how awkward i am and... um... i got nothing.

the story:
I was shopping in a Hastings, just wandering around, when I see a cute girl. My brain goes, "hey she seems nice go talk to her." so i followed its bad advice. i walk up to her, make a small joke, and things seem to go well for... about 60 seconds. at that point she turns the conversation to about me and i started talking about how awkward i was (it was like my brain left the room). This poor girl tries be nice and tells me a few encouraging things only to have each one shoot down (keep in mind i don't even realize I'm saying any of this). the conversation got so bad that she looked like she was in pain. it's at this point I finally realize how uncomfortable I'm making her I just tell her that it's cool if she just leaves. she left, quickly.

and that's my story ԅ(͝° ᗜ͝°;)╮ ah ha ha ha

[Learn basic Japanese]

I'd give you 5 stars but I noticed that the chart shows a different stroke order than what Mariko draws. It makes learning this a bit confusing especially if stroke order is important to know.

[MusicBox]

Great stuff but it needs... more cowbell.

[Land of the Blind]

interesting

I'm not sure about the king is yourself part but this looks like a cartoon of an old saying:

"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

The quote is about mediocrity. for example, someone with a little talent is considered great by those with no talent.
all in all nice animation

[Pleasure Island 2]

random fun

this was most random thing I've seen on NG and it's funny as hell. one question though; what did the doc mean by giving his monster "Happies"

[: Drugs In Your Head :]

some good points

For the most part you're right. I could tell you all the helpful thing you could do with pot but so could every other stoner. but i will say this: Chemotherapy is currently the main cure for cancer (in it's late stages), some of its side affects are puking, nausea, and malnutrition. Now weed, if use medically, could counteract those side affects. I'm sure you're right that their are a ton of @$$holes that want pot legal just to get high but, not everyone is like that.
With the exception above, the rest of your point were dead on.

One more thing i wanted to point out, that's kind of funny about the hypocrite parents:

Both of my parents are smokers (been that way of YEARS) and they have ALWAYS told me not to smoke, some time WHILE PUFFING ON A CIGARETTE. But by smoking and telling me not to, they've caused me to never want to use tobacco (in any form) or even want to "see what it's like". So in an odd way, my parents have led through example, a bad example, but still an example.

[PSA: Meth]

thumbs up

I found the loading screen song to be a bit annoying and a few more fact about the harm meth does would have been nice. But all around it was good. So remember kids don't do drugs, just smoke weed instead. ;^D

misahpea responds:

Thanks for your positive review :)
We were trying to make it as short and sweet as possible, since our 14-15 year old classmates have short attention spans. I agree that we could have put in more effects of meth but I didn't really want to go back and add more frames.
I don't like the loading screen song much, either xP But, it was put in more as a joke, and my project partner was set on having it.
Thanks again

[Feed Your Head]

the bunny army

i thought it was nicely done and reminded me of a drug trip in the Cheech & Chong movies.

P.S.
