I've read a couple of reviews where people don't get the message. I think your witty sarcasm may be a bit too smart. This fact just makes me sad that guns get to people so easily.

I don't know if I'm any smarter than Newgrounds, and there are smarter people than me who believe the opposite. I suppose it's just the way you think about these things.

"Having a tree on your head, a neat concept"
However my concern is mostly with the flow of energy. How does the tree effect everyday in terms of energy to be more precice. For example does the tree make its own energy through photosynthesis or does it rely on the host, or could it work the other way? The person gaining energy from the tree. But that option also begs the question of what happens durring the winter when the sun is not so prevalent and the growth of leaves would be a waste. Does the tree have reserve energy in it's trunk to survive the winter? If not does the person regrow the tree each year on extra energy gained from the tree. And how would the environment affect such a tree. Would the tree provide more energy if it was between the tropics? Also senses are a dilema. Would the tree have nerve endings? Would it be able to feel pain, would insects inside affect the person on whom it has grown? And would every leaf falling affect the person in such a way? If not how is it attached? Is it simply a growth such as hair or nails? And if that's the case would it not be prudent to simply remove it? These are simply the questions that ran through my head when I first saw your creature.
On to the actual review. I like your animations. They were done well and look polished. The interactivity doesn't qualify it as a game to me. Like in your description this works very well as a website to display your unique style, however as a flash game, I see no important connections. It's simply a good work of flash with no genertic title, a problem you want to have. Good work. Hope you didn't get too bored with this long article.

Woah, you're thinking a wee bit too hard about the concept of a tree/person hybrid there, buddy. It's more symbolic than it is literal, I'd say.
I'd say she's more of a super advanced tree, though, if I were forced to make an observation. She barely moves or acts except when she needs to, meaning she'd require less energy to survive. Also she can't really move, in place of legs is the trunk of the tree, meaning she only has the head and torso of an actual person. Also, the secret section suggests that she was once a real person, which might then suggest that this tree form is more of a prison for her. The fact that she has severed finger pinecones and hand palm leaves (did you notice those? The scrapbook's full of info on that y'know) hanging from her branches suggests she might gain power from consuming people, somehow... which might also suggest where all these introductions to the sections are coming from? It's something I'd love to elaborate on in the form of a sequel or something, but that won't be for some time. *writes the word suggest a few thousand more times* Hope you didn't get too bored with my response. :p Thanks for the review!

This is an obvious parody. Obvious. Even if you're a republican or conservative, you can still appreciate this animation. (even if it did lack a preloader and a replay button). The animation was very well done. Everyone looked like they might be a superhero. The style was cool because I grew up with the super friends. The sound was good because that is exactly what the original dude said. Violence, meh. Interactivity, get a button or don't put it on the site. Just put it on youtube like you intended. Humor, nice. I like Carl Rove's power, information manipulation. Good stuff.

Amazing amazing amazing, heh no seriously though. This was a good song I didn't really think of the sound as foreign but whatever all opinion. And this almost makes me want to see the terminal, but Jet li's fearless is calling me and as it stands, he can freakin chop bone.
