joliet-jane's game Reviews on Newgrounds

[Windows RG Build 207]

Funny and accurate

I do like how far you went in depicting the blue screen errors; a good reminder that Windows is not a "real" environment. You make think you're in a functioning GUI, but you're not; you're really stuck in MS-DOS. WinME tries to mask this fact by making MS-DOS basically inaccessible, which is very annoying becuase you can't even choose to go there by your free will to preform Scandisk (faster in DOS) or just hang out in DOS (for whatever reason); you have to trick the computer into running in DOS. I willn't explain how... And even that's a lie! The DOS prompt isn't even "really" MS-DOS, it's BIOS or some shit like that!!!

I wish sincerely that Mac OSX and Linux could be recognized by the public. OS X is v. v. beatiful... such a joy. And Linux just won't die no matter how many comps u network together. Oh, bollocks to all this negativity! What about what's *right* in the world??? If only someone would make an accurate flash showcasing the advantages of Linux (erm, one of the Linuxes), Mac OSX. Oh, but wait, most user of those OSes are busy doing important things like saving the world, making lotsa $$, and making spectacular art, right???

[Mega Man RPG]

kewl game...

...and why would you want to disable the right-click menu anyway?

[Kill Mikey]

Hmm...

it really doesn't make any sense to kill Mikey, as he's just a dorkry kid and only 11. He's not an obj of hatred, i don't think. He's just such a... loser.
But your movie did make me laugh.

[AOL Hell]

AOL sux, O yeah

Dude! that literally happens to me! I get on then I get kicked off immediatly! and AOL 6.0 is apparently supposed to better than 4.0, but I see no difference. I was impressed w/ the details u included.
This fall I go 2 college and used thier lightning-fast ethernet network in my dorm....on a 100mhz comp w/ 8MB of RAM.

NiftyJay responds:

Hey everyone, thanks for the positive support thus far. It's really appreciated. I'm still brainstorming for my next game (I think it will be a game atleast)... wow, I didn't think AOL Hell would be rated this high. I'm flattered. Thanks again everyone!

[Loki and the Cat Invaders]

ok, but...

Nice game, nice art and sound, but man, I am sick and tired of Cats being evil and dogs being the good guys. It personally feel its the other way round. I hope that new film "Cats & Dogs" loses a million billion dollars.

[Aol Sucks]

Damn straight (no pun intended)

Guess what? While trying to view this movie, AOL kicked me of, and then it did it again while I was writing this review!!!!=D
All of it's true. Missing, however, is the part about the phone having to dial up three times bcuz the host is either timed out or the access company isn't responding properly.
I heard that talks between AOL/Time Warner and Microsoft over IE6 broke down. For once I can root for Billy G.

BTW folks, just like in the real AOL, just ignore the porn mail in your mailbox, m'kay?

[Kill The Walmart Face]

nice

Not too creative or invloved; not nearly as good as preview, but i was impressed that u included many WAL-MART ad figures(including the geriatric who greets at the doors --bah-ha!). I h8 the damn country violin and/or banjo music they play to make it feel down-homey or whatever the fuck. Ever seen the one where WALMART gives a town drinking water? How sweet... wait a minute! i think i saw Anhieser-Busch do that in another ad, where there was some diaster and they stopped bottling beer and bottled water for them instead. But I swear the "interviewees" were the same type of people if not the same.

[Gun Down the Gungan]

yic

What's it been? 2 yrs.? And we *still* can't get over the gungun.

[Beat Penny Bain's Fat Ass]

Yea

Normally I give stuff like this the "X," but I'll get it go this time, because I know womwn who are EXACTLY like this. I don't know Penny, but I'm quite sure as to what kind of person she is...I know the type, and i know that we share the same idyll fantasy. Ironically, thanx to NG, we can pretend to kill her rather than for real.

AstroZombie916 responds:

If you got to the BBS and look for a topic thats called "Newgrounds under attack!!!" by WadeFulp you will see what i am talking about.

[Steve & Steve Dance Party]

Yeah!

At first, I was dissapointed because I thought that it was going to be about Steve Wozinak and Steve Jobs, but this is even better! The music choice is very good, and the options are great, too. And then there's what made me give you all 10s--"Elwood"!! You're 2 cool..
