Very touching and moving flash movie. The end caught me by surprise and possibly could have been shortened to just the first set of words there about us not getting second chances. That would have been short and sweet and to the point and probably made a bigger impact over all without trying to defend that statement afterwards through what could possibly be interpreted as a political message. That way you're not maybe alienating some of the viewers who might support war if only somewhat ironically to prevent all out anarchy. Of course then there's the possibility that even the first message about no second chances could be discarded by someone who believes in reincarnation or the afterlife. /sigh. Definately more power to you for being brave enough to say it like you mean it vs. trying to be politically correct about it. But over all still a great movie and very touching and one I'll watch again and again, I'm sure.
The sprites were well done and doing them backwards was really cool to watch.
After reading some other reviews I realized why he jumped in the lava, which puzzled me at first but if you connect it to the broken heart later in the movie (after going in reverse) it becomes obvious. Really great idea there and made the movie all the more touching. Keep up the good work!

Pretty fun RPG. Nice backgrounds, sprites, and other graphics. The fight scenes were interesting and reminded me of the old game "Wizardry" a little. Possibly you could improve it by allowing for the fight to be "automatic" vs. pick and choose every time. So that if the monster is easy to kill then your fight scene goes alot quicker.
The quests were pretty straightforward. Nice plot to this, and cool merchants. Over all just an amazing RPG. Very addictive.
The one thing I was wondering was on the skill window there's a bunch of stuff under "magic" but I couldn't figure out how to get those. Or is that just for later ranks or something? Anyhow cool game. Keep up the good work.

Great stuff as usually usual. Love the little red wagon bit! That's a laugh riot! Been trying to find one of your recent (?) flashes that had Frank Sinatra's head spinning around singing "When I was seventeen" (and had lol on his forehead) but I can't seem to find it. Guess I'll keep looking back through these so I can add to favorites. That one was really funny and creative too! Anyway keep up the good work.

Amazing songs you guys have. What tops it off for me is the language (even if I don't understand it), because I've studied tons about that region of the world in history. Mainly through studying the vikings (my favorite history subject). So it just stirs the imagination, although I know the vikings probably didn't sing metal (lol). But still... if they could have, I'm sure this would be dead on accurate the style. Great work. I'm going to buy the album. Just wish it was at tower records (www.towerrecords.com) so I could go in the store and buy it instead of dealing with over the internet. I'm a little hesitant to order from sites I'm not familiar with I guess. Anyway I'll see if I can't get tower records to order this for me. Maybe they'll start carrying it in their stock. I hope so. Very awesome sound!

Yeah, we're not big in america yet, not even close really, but there are a couple places on the internet that sell our album. And it's unique that you studied our country, or the prigin of the people of our country, it's not very often when someone actually understands what Finland really is, even though we're not a very important country, we're still one of the base nordic countries that stick true to our cultural roots.
