And I still enjoy your yelling.
Also, I got the secret. ;)

"Mediocre and Generic Space Shooter"
The game is your basic side-scroll shoot-or-avoid space game, with very little to add to the table, let alone something new. There were space rocks, space rocks that were twice as strong, ships, ships that fired back at you, and their varieties.
Your ship could move back and forth, up and down, but never at the same time, nor was there ever a good reason not to hug the left screen. Your ship was defined as a square, so an object could hit you without it visibly touching it. At the end of the level, you reached a portal that whipped you to the next level without any sort of introduction, announcement, or even sound.
There weren't powerups, bosses, a notification of damage, story (because a few sentences in the comments doesn't qualify), or anything to make this game unique or interesting in any way. This game felt like a test for ActionScript, not a demo.
There wasn't really that much wrong with the game, just nothing good about it. It's good to see some initiative though, so hopefully we can see a much more complete demo in the future.
Sincerely,
-TikiShades, of the Shades Gang

I give you the points for a very well written newgrounds Quiz. By that, I mean that the questions were well researched. And that's just a guess really, but I'd assume you went and looked for the actual answers.
The ranking system is bugged, as in the person didn't think his math out really, and seemed to just blindsight a rank system that sounded right. As I'm well aware that it was already mentioned, it's important, because there isn't anything else in this flash worth mentioning. Sure you had those "passwords" that I didn't bother to find, since 30 seconds per question is nowhere near ample time to go searching.
It's also apparent that someone spends a little too much time on the BBS, as quite a few of the questions would only be known to the extremely nerdy people who live there. Besides that, there's quite a few things I thought would be put into such a quiz, such as Pico and Tankmen references. Sure, they mentioned Jerry Jackson and Salad Fingers, but neither of those are that "big" on Newgrounds. There were some flashes that I didn't even recognize on there, making me feel left out, but then remembering that I've heard of almost everything on Newgrounds that was ever really notable, and I have an excellent memory.
If anything else, Quiz games are awful. I gave you a 4 out of 10 for having the effort of compiling this vast of (selective) knowledge on Newgrounds.

Latest Audio Reviews
The audio wasn't really synced together. It was really apparent that the instruments and the singing are separate, which makes it less enjoyable. It almost sounded like you weren't close enough to the mic during the recording.
I think a better mic would help, or increasing the volume of the singing part some.

To be blatant, many of the voices sounded... kind of the same. But... your voice is such a good one, it didn't matter.
Your first voice set was alright. 5/10
Drug user. 8/10
The third set, was pretty nice. 7/10
The fourth set about the "life of adventure"... the first voice was nice, but the second wasn't as good. It felt sort of unnatural. 6/10 for the first and 4/10 for the second.
The High Schooler was amazing. 9/10
The fantasy set was my favorite. The final voice... I personally love its boastful and arrogant sound. I love it. I'd like to use this one if its alright. I could imagine this kind of voice being corny and image you not wanting to do it. Oh, and 9/10.
Author's Response:
Yeah, they do, I've improved my other ranges since this was made though. And it's funny how you say that one voice sounded unatural yet it was pretty much my natural voice. Thanks for the review.

Believe I've heard the song before... but this isn't Linkin Park.
