Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.
[UPDATE] Damn! OVER 9000 VIEWS! 0_O heh... ya know what they say "Dreams do come true" I guess the Thunder Mario and fight was got this movie popular. lol
[UPDATE] ALRIGHT!!!! My first Daily Feature!!! You guys are AWESOME!!! Thank you so much guys for your ur support and congrats to my good buddies of mine. MasaAndMune, Gaming0taku, Phantominoid and FlameFilm. ;p Who know I might even finish off the training from that Mario and Sonic fight.... Or a sequel I dunno. >_>
[Edit] Thunder Mario sprite made by me. Sonic, Mario and Fire Mario are made of the original creators. Custom poses by me.
I dont know why I'm doing this I really DONT! >_< but hey since everyone does Mario and Sonic these days. >_> Why not I try it ya know. Anyway. This video gets kinda of laggy near the end. So... As usall quality buttons r at the left bottom. Enjoy!
That was beast but honestly i think you can do better with the graffics and what not sorry if i spelled anything wrong to haha
thanks for the flash, it fit perfectley, the thuder mario transformation was really cool
and no matter how ya put it, mario vs sonic = a tie
That was an epic animation, the sprites fitted, the effects were great and the sounds matched too everything too, most of all the animation was smooth, unlike some others Ive seen, keep up the good work. 10/10
cool i like fire sonic and LIGHTING MARIO WOOT
Thats a good one battle, can u just tell me whats the name of song at the begin of battle?
very nice animation with the sprites i understand that it takes a very long time to make stuff like that and very good with the tie at the end and the street fighter noises you can definatley make other sprite battles if u wanted too keep up the good work...
This was a good sprite fight, but one thing you should fix about it is how well the sprites go together, for example, you should have used NES style sprites for both of them. But that wasn't enough to bring down my rating, so I still say good job,
best sonic vs mario video ever!!!! whats the song when mario turns to thunder mario?
sonic would turn turn red but still good fight
This take you guess over hour to make it's very nice.Flash takes time to make,but good luck with those flash videos.
that fight was almost flawless because the problem with most mario vs sonic fights because that the maker of the fight likes only one side here's an example: a sonic vs mario fight mario wins sonic fan watches then complains gives zero for the score. Sonic wins mario fan watches the mario fan says sonic sucks. the solution was right there; a tie between them! that way fans of sonic AND fans of mario won't get pissed off and complain about it
I liked Thunder Mario. It was a good change from what we usually see. Sonic having a fire shield wa also pretty neat. The action was solid and although we didn't get a clear winner, I did enjoy the end. Not a bad fight at all! Great job!
That was epic and I loved that it was a tie; because when it comes down to it Mario and Sonic were the game icon pioneers and no matter what system you owned you have played and loved them both. Though Mario gets more love then sonic nowadays it goes back and forth between the two. There really never will be a winner between the two; it will always be a tie... at least for me. (Though Sonic used to come closer to winning then Mario back in the day, but only because I was a Sega girl before I discovered and feel in love with the world of PlayStation).
guess that makes him thunder mario or even lighting mario
Dude this was tottaly epic and even though the Mario vs Sonic fights have been realy out done this is the best one by far 10/10 5/5
lightning mario and fire sonic
I LOVE IT i loved the way that the fight boom pow so frickin good
Probably the best Mario vs. Sonice vid i've seen, the fight scene was excellent, great job!
just fuckin epic
This was a preety good video! Its worth a watch!
The flash was good but the thunder mario was a bit odd. Either way good flash!
This was a pretty nice animation, with smooth fighting and camera following, but I can't give you more than an eight for an overly used concept. Any other mashup would've netted this a greater rating, but I've seen this many times before. (Also extra points for using a metal slug background! +5 cool points!)
This is without a doubt the best Sonic vs. Mario flash I have seen so far. The animation is practically flawless. I hope to see more flashes like this from you in the future.
Oh, and by the way.....Shoryuken!
good but make it better
dog! the fight was awsome it could have been longer but man it was soo cool its not lag and thunder mario kick ass why don't other people give mario different power ups like water but thunder nice job!
Of all Mario vs. Sonic flashes, this one is the best and the most original for sure.
this is the best mario vs sonic fight i can find so 10/10
out of all the 100 sonic vs mario sprite flashes I have seen this is the most original and creative
I have seen so many Sonic vs. Mario fights, but this one, was one of the bests I have seen so far. No one of them was really stronger then the other and Sonic didn´t used the Chaos Emeralds. I also like the Thunder Mario or Lightning Mario (or however you´ve named it) concept idea.
Only critique point is the lack of a preloader that gets peoples attention.
Keep it up.
still niether of them can win its always ends in a draw.
Thunder mario is my favorite character in that flash.
nice vieo i lkie the lightning mario but the fire flower abd sonic combo you should have asked alvin earthworm for his version but over all nice job
i just saw this video i knew it was not lame like i said it would but everybody does sonic and mario fights but there all good or some <.< but it's a good video mario was the badass out of that fight 10/5
It is incredible - How couldn't I have watched this before?!
This is way too amazing! Nice one, Hurricane =)
I grew up with Mario and Sonic both and love them both(Sonic more though!). Even more than either of them though is the fight over who's better. And I have got to say that this is by far the best fight scene between the two I've seen so far- and I constantly look this up! Great animation and music to boot. Also loved how you kept the winner's circle open!
the power ups in the animation were amazing (thunder mario was awesome). this was alot more creative then most mario/sonic vids i seen. love to see a sequal to this and keep it up.
not exctly a fan of the whole mario vs sonic arguement but i did actually enjoy this.
"you are shock!!" hilarious.
you don't find enough hokuto no ken moments on newgrounds.
nice one.
Still not as good as Alvin Earthworm's but it was still cool
I really liked what you did here. A little advice though. When you're creating a fight, the key to making it flow and have that "edge of your seat" style is to create a rhythm in the fight. It's like music. You can't just slam down on a key board and hope for the best (not that your animation was like this, just using the keyboard as an example). You should try to "orchestrate" the timing of the strikes, how long each melee assault lasts, and how each melee assault concludes. Aside from that, you've got great material here and I look forward to seeing more animations from you.
i liked the move.
where did you get your effects?
Although I enjoyed it thoroughly, mainly because of the Unique Powerups thrown into the mix.
Since the movie has no Story, or any Semblance of Theme I'm going to Rate it based on it's Style and Combat.
Combat: 3/6
There wasn't any real pacing... Or atleast I didn't feel it.
The characters had no set moves or anything repitious so there's no real deadly dance I feel. There's no Sonic Avoiding Marios strengths whilst exploiting his weaknesses or the other way around.
There's no Sonic using his speed to serious Advantage, Or Mario using his Hammer as a main attack, Butt Slam. There are no real special moves. It's just Attack in a Semi-unique Way with Slowdown, Sound effects and alot of visual effects to support then have the opposing character break out of that attack with a Super and another Visual Aid to go along with it.
There was no real, Intensity. I pretty much waited for the next cool attack or effect to happen.
Style: 2/4
The Thunder Mario was pretty cool, I wonder how he'd be with other Elements or Hell if he got hold of some Chaos Emeralds.
What if Sonic got a Star? What if Sonic Ate a Mushroom? What if What if What if!?
That's how this movie makes me feel.
It's cool.
Is this sort of a Tribute to Proxicide? And the References were Hillarious.
as long i been on newgrounds i seen almost all the sonics vs. marios they were all super sutpid but yous was kindda differnt i like it very nice =)
This was great! Although i could totally choose a winner! It would be Sonic because a very wise nerd made a point, "Sonic, has attitude. Sonic runs hundreds of miles an hour and collects Emeralds and GoldRings....not stupid Pennies like some homeless person. Who do you want your role model to be? A guy who cleans toilets and picks up loose change? or a guy who beats up ROBOTS?!"-Keith Apricary. haha i love him.
i know why you made them both lose in the end its because you can't just choose a winner and even if i tried to choose a winner it would be mario because he is my all-time favorite, and it would be hard to actuallychoose a winner because the animation would be hard to create. besides that great flash!
I noticed your reference to fist of the north star. the "you wa shock" thing was pretty funny. overall, you did a splendid job animating and the creation of thunder mario was quite original (to me). excellent work hurricane! keep it up!
Epic, I say! I loved how they countered each other's attacks and fought! Hurricane360, you've done a GREAT job!
Very good, but the music and sound effects are very like with the proxicide's release "MK vc SF"... strange...
I LOVED the animation between the two and the creation of a new sprite. You sir have created a whole new wave of possibilities with "Thunder Mario". If I had to make a comment about the video directly, there is only one thing I would have added, and that's more power-ups for Sonic. It seemed as though Sonic didn't use as much power-up attacks as Mario did. Other than that it was an awesome flash.
Excellent sprite animation and a epic battle. 5/5 10/10
Reminded me of MUGEN, somehow.
Thunder Mario was AWESOME! my favorite part was when Mario tried to get the fire flower back from Sonic and Mario charged him. I've been looking for Thunder Mario sprites but YOU SIR! are a total Genuis!
I must say it's been a while since i seen a good Mario vs. Sonic flash fight and i liked the new Sonic sprite too,as for the fight it was entertaining and fun to watch and i liked how they used their powerups too,overall i enjoyed this very much and think you did a real good job.
This is why mario and sonic should never fight.
This was such an awesome fight and i read other people's reviews, and i honestly think that the people who rated it below 8 are wrong especially the dude who rated it 4. i give it a 9 because it could have been longer.
anyways that was EPIC!!! :)
It's not often that a good Mario v. Sonic flash is posted, but this is one of them, and it's not a copy of Alvin-Earthworm's work. You might want to tone down on the flashes when the characters physically hit each other, it covers up the fight too much. Also, you should try to improve on the interaction with the background, such as dust clouds or cracks when they collide into the wall or ground. Overall, good work.
i have to say that was so epic and lighting mario was awesome. you made him
look badass.and ending was like nobody won.you keep up the awesome work
but majority of the time mario was beating sonic, sonic only kicked @$$ like 2 times while mario did it like 7 times.
also the part where before they beat eachother, those attack effects that u used to replace sonic and mario, u should have used them better, it was repeating the same thing over and over again, atleast change the angles or make the attack bigger or smaller.
overall it was ok.
This is too awesome to behold, great work you little epic guy you. Since this flash was too good, i have to make my review too long (sorry).
As always, people are gonna complain because of Mario and Sonic battling in sprite form but i really don't mind, animating and spriting is the same in my opinion.
Great job with the sounds, i really like how you added sounds from Super Smash Brothers Brawl like Sonic saying "Step it up" and Mario saying when he uses the final smash.
Backgrounds were my favorite, glad to see you didn't use one of those cheezy homemade backgrounds. Fits so well.
Through all the epicness in this flash, the ending was the best. Making Mario and Sonic defeat each other at the same time was so great! nobody can complain over "Why didn't Sonic win?" or "Why didn't Mario win?".
Totally deserves it, a battle that awesome deserves a sequel.
=Comments= Through all the Sonic vs. Mario flashes, this one beats them by far. Don't get me wrong, i like the Super Mario Bros. Z series made by Alvin-Earthworm.
Overrall ranking - Like i said, this was epic so i give you a 10/10 and 5/5. Favorite as well.
There was nothing original about it; it was like a crapped down version of Super Mario bros Z.
The flow was pretty bad too, some scenes were too slow; they weren't fast enough. You made Mario and Sonic look weak.
The backgrounds have no resemblance to Mario or Sonic whatsoever.
You used too many power-ups; you didn't express Mario and Sonic's attributes that well.
There was no consistency, it was Sonic hit Mario, then Mario hit Sonic. What about combos and combo breakers? None of them seemed to have the upper hand at any point.
The special effects could've been more subtle.
That Sonic Emblem in the corner is an eye-saw, you don't need it there.
The ending was clichéd in my opinion
Next time please, do your OWN work.
Not the best Mario and Sonic fight and the sounds were repeditive but lighting Mario was BADASS! Nintendo should take that idea and make it a real mario power-up. Like the guy below me, the lack of talking was good. The fight was very epic and I like how it was a draw unlike some others. Good work!
I'm at a loss of words but that was just fantastic! One of the better sprite battles I've seen on here thus far. You took Alvin Earthworms battle system and added your own little twist into it and I like when artists do that.
So heres my thoughts on it:
+The fighting was fantastic! The moves were solid and it was not boring to watch by any means
+The music went great with the battle and it never felt out of place
+I really liked how you used items from both worlds of Sonic and Mario most flash artists who make these sorts of things only use one or the other.
+I loved how you didnt have a winner to this fight, you remaining impartial and letting it tie pleases all of the fans, if a Mario fan comes in and sees sonic won they will be pissed and leave stupid comments and vice versa.
+My absolute favorite thing was the lack of dialogue, I hate it when people doing these sprite battle flashes try to incorporate their own dialogue and give the characters false personalities and make them curse and all of that shit. In this flash they stayed true to their true meanings, BEING ASS KICKERS!
-I know I've been praising this flash thus far but there are still things I dont like or felt was missing for example: why not use super sonic? I dont mind the barrier power ups but some part of me felt that super sonic not being present made the flash feel sort of incomplete.
With all that being said I gotta say great job! And I wish you luck on your future endeavors.
Its nothing new. We have seen this fight (in different regards) almost infinite times now.
Your animation is wonderful, good fighting, good music, its just not that interesting. There isn't anything new or entirely original to this to keep me engaged as a viewer.
I 100% encourage you to keep doing this stuff, God knows I can't do flash BUT, try to do some writing, give us a backstory to want to connect to the characters we are rooting for. Make us relate... you don't have to go crazy with story, nor do you actually have to explain it. I just got the vibe from this that its nothing more then a tech demo to show what you can do, even though you do it well.
Thats why I give you a 7 out of 10. Its good, but nothing that makes me go 'wow'.
awesome work love it!
theres no complain :|
it was kickass!
no really it was a kickass
and yes im with JamesTKirkV2
making flash aint as easy as it look :S
Lithirion go make a better flash than this one
i doubt a lot you can re-create this
if i continue i could get banned ¬¬
..what ever
nice work man ^^
the lightning sound at the end was very abrasive, but I didn't grade ya down for that.
honestly, my favorite part was at the beginning with the fighting choreography, you're good with that. in the future, more of that would take your "good" movies to "great" movies.
The sprite animation was flawless, and the power-up crossover was interesting and believable. It appears to be a draw, but actually they both lose, as they burn to death in the wrecked city...
This is a fine example of a fight scene.
well animated
fast paced
good custom sprites
the only real problem is that its not long enough. I would recommend you make more.
Well, coming from a fellow sprite animator this was relatively well made and fun to watch. well done. ont the minus side you should considr shaking the screen for big attacks to add emphasis on the situation. other than that the animation is great
Faved +
Everyone is saying "great job" this is almost a complete rip off of mario Z. ...yes there are some differences. but not enough. Make it original if you wanna make a good flash....try again
it was great to see mario with a new power-up, heh i find this funny u posted this yestoday, cuz just a few days ago i finished my knuckles vs. mario flash XD
Your good. You got talent, but its a little rough around the edges. It's definitely not bullshit like people keep saying, but I hope your next flash has a little more polish to it.
Great animating in most parts, and most of the fight was good, but I think that the thunder flower and fire flower could have gone without, but really, a good battle.
Honestly I came into this expecting another crappy 16bit sonic v mario bloodfest, but I was actually pleasantly surprised. As far as story goes, it doesn't really have one other than the obvious, but I'm willing to let that slide, because the merit of the animation quality overcomes that... This was also a little different than most sprite animations I've seen before, I liked your use of the superstar saga mario as opposed to the super mario world one. Overall, great job animating, and it was fairly entertaining as far as action goes.
talk about a very good mario vs sonic flash. I must say this is BY far the best one I have ever seen. all the other ones are no where compared to this one. the art was fantastic. the music was fantastic, and the ending. I so thought it would have been another one where you choose which one wins, but this is even better, I loved the thurnder mario thing. but dont you think it could have been a fire sonic insted of a fire shield around him? [ just a suggestion] anyway 10/10 5/5. best one ever [ if ya wanna know what I mean by "fire sonic" just pm me] thx for a great flash and for people that say this is bullshit. fuck you this is a great video. infact it needs a sequel. to finish it. one of the greatest flashs I have ever seen :)
I liked it but im sad. I thought thunder mario would be weegee.
How the hell do people keep saying its bullshit? this is BY FAR the best sonic vs Mario battle EVER! I'd like to see you faggots make a better one!
So, let's be positive...(not like those two down here -_-)
So, you made a good use of the sprites, i liked the movies.
I think , like, not new, but fun to watch...continue the work but
next time, try to make a water mario....just kidding :P
In fact, you're good, continue the good work ^^
it was crap but well animated its total bullshit blue mario fire sonic just what the fuck
ausome this is asoume! team mario
Idea- Admin battle!
Well I loved the animation and liked the movie much. But I don't like when people make movies there ''Mario and Sonic'' doin abillities that they can't do. Like when mario became blue and Op... Thats something that have never happen in the series and will probably never happen... And when Sonic took the Fire flower... Thats a Mario item I understand that Sonic could be able to use it cause they are in the same world in the flash but i really don't think sonic would have become like that...
But even if I didn't like it I
still think it looked cool and don't get me wrong that i didn't liked it very good movie keep up the good work:)..
Idea: Shadow VS. Chaos 0
Honestly, It's the same average shit that gets posted ever since sprites were still popular. Honestly, sprite movies have recently been lacking in any sort of originality. Same Mario vs. Sonic fights ever since Randy-Solem, same Robot Chicken bullshit since Majin Picolo, same random clips just being put over running characters since GOD KNOWS FUCK WHEN.
Don't get me wrong: I didn't hate this flash.It was actually pretty well animated and everything. Lord knows I couldn't have made this or anything close to it, EVER. So yah, as far as the presentation goes, while this may not up to the standards of say, Super Mario Bros. Z or something like that, it was good.
But seriously?A Mario vs. Sonic fight? Really? Here's an idea: PLAY SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL.Yeah yeah, I know that's not the point, but whatever.And not to mention, while the animation was nice, the fight in itself was cliched also.Do Sonic and Mario always need to get powerups? Can't they just fight based on their abilities? At least, I certainly think that would be much more interesting. It's not about how much shit you can blow up, that's not necessarily interesting (unless I guess your a Michael Bay fan...which I am not). Also,the ending doesn't really work. And I don't mean the fact that they both die (although I DO consider that a dick move),It's just that it made the whole flash seem pointless, just having them lie there and die. It was also identical to the ending of An American Werewolf In London, which isn't a flaw, it just caught my eye :S.
Look: from what I can tell, you have great potential(I know this isn't your first flash, in case it sounds like that). And even though I'm proooobably gonna get marked as a useless review because I didn't give this the praise that everyone else is giving it, I sure hope you read this. Again, the animation was great, the sound effects were great,the whole movie was VERY WELL MADE.Unfortunately you had the misfortune of choosing a long dead concept of Mario vs. Sonic fights. Just my opinion on this, keep making more flash, as from what I could tell, your very good at it. :D
PS. Great idea to use that Sonic sprite btw. It mixes MUCH better with the sprites from Mario & Luigi SS Saga then the Sonic Advance sprites ever would.
Ah, it seems like nobody has the guts these days to tell the viewers: "I don't care who you were rooting for, ______ lost." However, it would appear that that's the only problem here.
The graphics and sprite speed were on par with SMBZ, minus the storyline. Usage of the long-forgotten fire shield was very nice, and your Thunder Mario recolor looked very neat and official.
Overall, I have nothing more to say. 9/10, and since this is actually one of my favorite types of things to watch (Hey, everyone's a sucker for Sonic vs. Mario), I'll round up to 5/5.
This has been the opinion of no one. Really.
i think the fight would be longer and Mario can kick sonics butt sonic is gay
Daaaaaamn!!! That was an awesome fight! I like the end. Both are the same power. Well if sonic had his Chaos Emeralds. And if mario had his Star. It maybe had been a very big turn of invent. Pluse i would like to see sonic look like Fire Flower in SMBZs. Just looks better in a way. Great job dude. Keep it up too.
you shoulda had sonic turn red when he got the fire power and cant mario just jump on sonics head and kill him lol
The blue mario was rally good, but i don't know... i think the fight could be more intresting...
not bad, but a bit of ear rape :/
why is it a tie? mario would of kicked sonics ass all the way to hell!!!
...and that's how graham crackers are bad for you. XD
On your daily feature. You already know what i said on YT so no need to write it again. Good job. This did better on NG than i ever thought.
Very cool, you deserve that #1, but fire flower becoming a fire shield for Sonic was kinda lame, maybe it's just because I saw SMBZs Fire Sonic, anyway, this is awesome, I hope you make more like it.
you should make a sequel or like tails vs Luigi or something along those lines
great fight your skills with the flash are excellent
would have been great if you were to put an option of who wanted to win but a draw is fine.
P.S. this fight looks like reu's evil ryu and evil ken (MUGEN) fights
It need some type of story .
That was an amazing Mario v Sonic Flash.
The fighting effects were pretty good. It's like Alvin-Earthworms Smash bros Z.
I think this flash should get a fair vote, i rate based off that of performance and detail, not on that of "this is old and not interesting, people already made this stuff".
wow best sonic vs mario ive seen
plz take note that you were awesome in many ways
what bothers me is that many people still compare sprite animator to alvin, it look nothing like it
i do agree that alvin is very good but many are as good as him: dont stop your your view at one thing
anyway im giving you a 10/10 aka the perfect score because your awesome and keep on the good work(lightning lad versus fiery beast lol)
i hope to see more from ya M8
amazing animation but reminded me a lot of Alvin-Earthworms animations. Otherwise Great stuff papi.
"everyone does Mario and Sonic these days."
These days? Everyone did MariovSonic's back in like 2004 buddy.
Anyways, It was put together quite poorly, I'm not saying that cause it's a sprite movie, I love sprite movies. All this has is a bunch of loud effects and spammy effects. Sonic with the fire seemed kinda like a rip of AlvinEarthworm.. Atleast it wasn't completely copied though :l
Meh, you kinda have potential, but really, this should be a Daily 5th at most. You just got lucky as hell people submited shit this day.
This SvM is straight awesome! You gotta make more!
these sonic and mario flashes were alot cooler before SSMB came out. good work though.
It's an awesome flash, but i think you could make much better themes other than mario and sonic (theres already plenty)
Like fire sonic by alvin-earthworm, there's thunder mario by you.
Amazing and very clever, not leaving a CHOOSE YOUR WINNER sign made me very happy because that really just kills the fun. Also very great animation it was definetly a force to be reckoned with.
A little cookie cutter, but also with something new to offer. Not bad.
dude you seriously need to make more that was awesome
it's very good and the ending is clevar so there won't be fights about how should have won instead.
and giving them both a power up of each other's games was a great idea but sonic using the fire flower was a little lazy made cause you just changed the color of one of his power ups.
and @ 19domi97
if he would have included super sonic he should have used star mario but that's pointless cause they are both invinsible in that state so it would just be a way to make the animation longer.
I like the animation and I like how it ended because we would have fanboy saying sonic should have lost or Mario should have lost. I think your average score should have been higher if the fanboy were not rating it low because of sonic not wining or mario but anyway awesome job.
this was awesome the funny shit is that so many random video games were in this one flash (Gunstar heroes, Marvel vs capcom, Metal slug X...) you should definetly make more flashes like these.
Incredible animation but I really wished Mario had won. He is great and you can not beat him and his universe. The problem I find with Sonic is that his games and adventures become quite repetetive and boring..... but he is ok. In any case that was a fantastic animation!
P.S. I also liked the fact that you used the Metal Slug background as their environment ;) Did not recognise it at first. Oh and more thing if Mario and Sonic did both die then you should make an animation called 'Luigi vs Tails" or Knuckles perhaps where they both left their universes to avenge their fallen companions. And this time one of them should win. Luigi is awsome and the idea would be fantastic! Good luck.
Mario won't have any chance vs. super sonic ..... why there was no super sonic T_T i hate mario ^^
its cool but i wanted to see sonic with the lightning too and u should have included sonics rings
i suppose thats fair, they lose and they win.
That's a good ending, it ends how it should being that Sega and Nintendo will always be equal rivals. Normally in flashes I can guess where all the sprites come from, but a lot of these are unique and please my eyes with candy. Nice creativity on Mario and his electric power-up.
this is so epic
Ever since I watched the Sonic vs Mario fight in Smash Kingdom and Smash Kingdom: Melee, I have been dieing to see yet another epic fight between the legendary gaming console mascots! The battle was intense and I hope there's another one out soon! One thing is for sure, the fights between the two seem to never get old!
But what I don't get is why did the main author of Smash Kingdom quit sprites? He was so damn good at it! I mean seriously! Anyways, bravo Hurricane360, bravo!
Intensity Level = Weak at the start, spiked in intensity in the middle and ended with a bang at the end!
Effects = Kick ass sound effects and intense explosions!
Pace = Slow at start, then fast paced, and medium paced.

Cant Find Anything not cool in this fight. It was awsome for me and it filled every expectation... Nice Job!!
It's been a while since we had a decent Sonic fight movie. This has quenched my thrist and then some.
Still, it ain't perfect. Super Sonic/Dark Sonic could have made an appearance, and Thunder Mario needed more yellow IMO. Also, the ending was kinda anti-climactic. Still, the rest of it was pretty epic. So, 9/10.
loved all of it
Best of the week, in my opinion. :)
Read the title.
This was pretty good
this is the best sonic vs mario flash ive seen. There have been so many of them and this tops them. Great animation and use of sprites. Great job :)
fire sonic in mario bros z is better
i dont care if we've seen mario vs sonic flashes a thousand times, I still enjoy them, this is no exception. good job
Very good animation, very overused concept.
i admit this was a lot better than others i have seen but people shouldn't even make these. If you compare stats based on the video games sonic would win. And not even being a "fanboy" its the truth. You can't hit what you can't see. The End
I liked the video a lot, especially tunder mario, but i disliked the draw
Where this might be a little less of a score then a 10 and what not, I find my self as I've been getting into flash a lot recently, with a few small minor complaints. How ever I hate to be a guy who starts with the bad so good first.
The fight was well done, prefect movement, and animation work on a scale that I know I couldn't do if I wanted. It was smart, entertaining, and evening a bit funny. I was happy you stayed away from the whole "Super Sonic vs Fire Mario" thing that gets run into the ground, and even added a twist by making it "Fire Sonic vs Lighting Mario". The effects and the choice of backgrounds was cool. Another thing, the fight was just long enough, not treading into that long drawn out stage where stuff gets just to over the top. The backgrounds where cool, where not your own obviously, they still looked really cool and unique for the fight as opposed to the regular Mushroom Kingdom or Green Hill Zone battle arenas. Also, the ending was well done, made so not to up set either of the fan boys, and giving both mascots a certain amount of respect they deserve. If I were basing this off the fight alone, I would be giving this flash a 9 or 10
The Bad
Not a whole lot to complain about, but few things. First, no title screen just a button to get things going. Where it does keep things quick, I can't help but get the feeling you got a little rushed close to the end and said screw making a title, where this isn't a big thing, it would have made things look a little cleaner. Next about close to the end of the fight, you started to slack on effects, using solid color circles for your "colliding" effects. There were multiple other options that could have looked cleaner and better, again another thing that feels like you got rushed at the end. Last, as much as I don't want to agree cause he was a douche about how he said it, MarcyVF had a good point, the Mario vs Sonic thing has been done A LOT. Where everyone does have their own take on it, it has been done like six or seven times.
Final Thoughts
I would like to see something else by you for sure, what I would like to see is something that is a bit more original, maybe two random characters and pitting them against each other, like Sparkster and Earthworm Jim lol.... *thinks about epic fight between Earthworm Jim and a possum with a jet-pack* But really, all and all you did a great job, I hope to see more of your stuff here soon.
Screw watching video like game. I'd rather be playing.
better than what ive seen lately but im really tired of when either mario or sonic have a power up 1. they turn the basic attacks into giant fireballs ect. and 2. when one has a powerup the other one all of a sudden sucks and gets owned for 20 seconds people need to even the battle out and just use the powerups as a tiny boost and i want to add the back and forth effect when the battle starts off with one person only attacking and the other one defending then swich. you didnt do it as much as some that i have seen and also people please stop voting everything you like a tiny bit 10 im sorry use a little criticism but all around i liked it so im voting 7
This was amazing! I liked Mario's lightning attacks the best!!!
It's been done so many times before lol, it's so ridiculous. I was really hoping this was a parody, but it was another one!!!
1 point for the self-drawn sonic up in the corner.
Wish I can vote more than 10.
i wanted mario to win! but they both lost
That, was, AWESOME! Really brightened up my day to see that.
it's really good you used the metal slug backgrounds.
yes,storyline is very banal--make two great characters of the videogames fight,but the main--is HOW it made and i tell you--you accomplished. 10 stars and my applause
ok these fights have been done so many times but yet i thnik they keep getting better at the moment yours is the best ive seen well may nasf but yer this was good idea and for once mario did just win beacouse he had some power ups out of his arse but yer thanks for the entertainment
i mean i like the mixture of sonic and mario fighting street fighter style of ken and ryu and i liked it this :P
You wa Shock! (Fist of the North Star/Hokuto no Ken)
That was like SSBB only 100 times better
only da best
And here I though only Alvan Earthworm could do awsome sprite fights. Superbly done!
Sonic versus Mario--an epic showdown.
The fight was intense and chock-full of special effects and action. The fighting was well designed and the inclusion of power-ups added to the flash movie.
The sprite based animations animated quite well and the multi-tiered fighting added to the visual splendor.
A story-line was completely absent; however, we can speculate that the backstory deals with the mascot wars.
Overall, great film minus a story line.
Marvel VS Capcom-----Hadouken,Captain Commando electricity,Super move background,"Ready,Fight!",Shoryuken,R yu's transfomation(flaming arm),dust when landing
Metal Slug X------Railroad with gate,2nd Battlefield
Metal Slug X5-------1st battlefield
Legend of Mana-----Mario's uppercut and hammer effects(purple explosions)
overall----very nice....first one I've seen in a long time EXCEPT the effects before the explosions in the ending,that was lame....very
yeah it was semi-reposted but it was still epic. the soundtrack could have been better
that sprite sheet is from smbz (Super Mario Bros. Z)
They then settled their differences and became great friends eating many pineapples every day. THE END
^i really hope someone else gets that reference. title search 'pineapples' if you don't... anyway, this isn't anything that hasn't been done like a zillion times before, though you did spruce it up a good deal over its predecessors. the animation was decent and i liked the use of powers (fire flower = red shield! of course!), but i still prefer mario and sonic on the same team a la smbz.
.....You've seen them all
I do like some of the different parts on it, compared to other ones liek this. this by far has better fighting scene... but... the others beat it with their story... heart.... and passion!
this is just a lamer version of the original made by randy-solem it wasnt that great after mario grabbed that electricity all it was basically him kicking sonics ass and then it was back to a draw......... ifu guys want to chec out the badass original then here it is-http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/v iew/28041
that was highly entertaining, good job! i liked the power swapping and the SF references and all the scene changing. however, i would have liked to see a little more fighting and less of the fx just flashing around the screen. I realize that this sort of thing is common in a lot of work these days including some very well known anime, but i am personally not a big fan of it. i actually like to see what's going on, not guess about what might be happening based off the special fx. but other than that, great work. one question: why was Sonic's head in the top right the whole time?
First time I've seen powers switched around in a Sonic/Mario battel. One of the best there is so far. Great job!
But it is still great, i am planing to start to do spriting, the only problem is the lack of the flash...
Watch MK vs Street Fighter much? :P
Still, very well put together, I must say... if only a little on the short side. I also appreciate that you ended it in a draw as well. Some of the sprite work was a little awkward (such as the effects from SF: 3rd Strike), but aside from a few little issues, you seem to be pretty much on the ball. Keep it up!
it was awesome i was just waitin for like a haydoken some where
i already know, sonic is OBVIOUSLY gonna win. So obvious, i dont need to watch this movie. And I didn't watch it. cya
dude, relax, im joking. yes i did see it. and i like how it was tied in the end. very cool 2 u.
I would have liked it the more simple fighting had lasted just a bit longer, but I really enjoyed this regardless.
If sonic had used the Thunder iten, than mario won't have a chance =P
And why didn't he turned into Super?
Anyway, best Sonic Vs. Mario ever.
Still... you can improve somethings... Like... How the hell there is nobody else? =P
Make Peach fighting against amy, in the back ground, things like this.
But 9/10 5/5, keep up the good work, hope see more great videos like this one. ^^
this great truth I liked.
good job
Nice choreography here, just wondering, what is with the sonic icon on the top right corner? Doesnt that seem prejudiced when its a fight between Sonic and Mario?
jejeje this the best battle of mario and sonic
Great work - I loved it :)
Pretty nicely done there
Really enjoyed :)
this is probably one of the best mario vs sonic videos i've seen up to date! good job!
i love the use of the metal slug backgrounds
mario fights sonic, sonic spin dashes mario throws fireballs.... every one of these videos is the same.
People think this review is useless
pretty good soniv vs mario vid. however why did you choose to use that sonic model i think it would have been better going with his advance or rush mode (in my opinion) and the action just seemed slow at times. but you definatley were original with it and madde it your own so overall good job.
For a job well done! I agree with Oblivienator, make more!
The best sprite battle between Mario and Sonic I've ever seen! A+++ . Maybe its because of the sound effects. That might be why its so amazing.
That was awesome! But it reminded me of the SF vs MK lol...Haduken!
this was the best sonic vs. mario thing ive ever seen. please make more with different people and powers. like master chief going against sora and more powers like ice, water, earth, and others. seriously you need to make more.
I thought this was going to be a normal sonic vs mario SMBZ ripoff that wasn't all that entertaining. Boy was I wrong. And I expected Sonic's fireball form to ripoff SMBZ ep 8's fire sonic. You put a unique spin on everything, and I'm impressed. I loved marios lightning powers. Everything went well. This was one of the better Sonic vs mario flashes. Nice job.
... or Sonic vs Mario, this is the most kick ass epic awesomeness that I've ever seen this does deserve to be on the frontpage.
... maybe i saw too much of these. Well u've put a lot of work into it and the background and effects are pretty good. I coulndt clearly see whats going on in the part where only fire and lightning bolts were on the screen. They striked arround but it looked to me like u randomly added some effects. The sonic face in the top right corner was a bit disturbing too. Ur flash toon is in high qualitiy, the logo looks like drawn in ms paint. It also could be a little smaler.
that was the most awesome mario ive ever seen! where did u get that idea?
wow dude, i didnt know u were tht good. I didnt even know that you flash. AMAZING. PURE AMAZING! 10/10 Cant wait to see ur next flashes! Oh, and also, on SGXP, can u send me those sounds or at least the link? that was Pure Awesomeness. Maybe you should make Luigi VS. Knuckles. Just a thought. :)
this movie was badass the animation and the backgrounnd really looks expectacular,the fight was nice and very oriyinal, with a great song, 10/10 withaut any doupt.
damn you know how to use your effects, the fight was epic, the effects were awesome, and you rock at animating. Nuff said
usually sprite battles are made cause they felt lazy but this flash is amazing. did you make the effects in flash. they looked cool or is it a sprite. with out a doubt that is the best flash animation ever.
Everything about this flash was beatiful and the lighting Mario was the best, I hope I see more fights like this one =)
this is one of the most badass sprite fights i've eva seen. this is pretty cool.
I looked again at the author information after the movie to make sure it wasn't Alvin-Earthworm who had done it.
This really is an excellent sprite fight - just... not much more I can say about it. The animation was smooth, the music was fitting, and Lightning Mario was bad@$$.
Great work!
Sure the animation was alright, but how would I know, there were effects everywhere and I couldn't see much. And, at least Fire Sonic wasn't all...red, but had that red glowing Megaman effect over him so you couldn't even see any of his actions.
But, hey, its pretty good.
Dude that was INSANE !!! I really liked it :) Great animation for sprite movie :) Thunder Mario was just pure awsomenes !!! Great work keep it up :)
now that i think about it there should be an electric mario
very cool and all but extremely unoriginal. ill have to give you a 8/10
The ending reminded me the first episode of fate stay night xD
Anway, great job
Never saw that coming man
1: i was gonna say the fight wan't epic enough, but then they used items. =D
2: after all that i was expecting a winner, not a draw. still, that was awesome.
This video goes straight to classics of game character vs game character. I loved that you chose the metal slug backgroung - fits the theme. Everythings cool. Could use a slightly more dramatic ending but all and all - enjiyed it.
PS whats with the giant sonic head?
Holy crap that was awesome!!! Please make more! It was perfect movement and amazing quality. Well done on this! It might make front page, you never know!
Shoot, that was a good flash!
Much better than I expected.
The setup seemed to have a tekken 6 setup, where you can go to higher or lower grounds
Good job man, that was AWESOME!!!
I like how you used the metal slug backgrounds. Plus, the way you made the flash made it look like an actual fighting game.
I also liked how you had them both faint at the end, which shows that neither character is better than the other.
Overall, good despite being unoriginal.
Good ol sprite animation. Is there any other kind?
I love it, I simply love it. You've got talent with sprite fights, awesome effects even though there's no plot (since when did we need a plot in a sprite fight anyway ?) I say it's excellent, you should start a serie with that.
All my 5s R belong to U, GG

The Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale on 14 November in New York totaled $157.7 million with a buoyant atmosphere in the salesroom. Artists from across the continent, which includes portraitists and genre painters such as Gustave Courbet and Henri Fantin-Latour, created performs that aimed to portray individuals and scenarios objectively, imperfections and all, rather than making an idealized rendition of the topic.
In this seminal perform of modern day art, Monet's loose handling of paint and his concentrate on light and atmosphere inside the landscape scene are all crucial characteristics of Impressionism, which is broadly deemed the very first fully contemporary movement.
For example, Vincent van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, and Paul Cézanne are regarded as the principal artists of Post-Impressionism, a movement named so since of the artists' deviations from Impressionist motifs as effectively as their chronological location in history.
Modern art is the creative world's response to the rationalist practices and perspectives of the new lives and concepts provided by the technological advances of the industrial age that brought on contemporary society to manifest itself in new methods compared to the previous.
The centuries that preceded the modern era witnessed quite a few advancements in the visual arts, from the humanist inquiries of the Renaissance and Baroque periods to the elaborate fantasies of the Rococo style and the best physical beauty of 18th-century European Neoclassicism.

In recent years, pharmacist has been consistently ranked as among the best jobs in the United States. Pharmacists play an important role in helping people get the best results from their medications. The pharmacist is an accessible liaison whom patients can talk to face-to-face, without an appointment. He or she is someone who can answer health-related questions — what foods, drinks, activities, or other drugs could have an effect on medication or what to do about a missed dose. Essentially, pharmacists help people with almost anything related to the use of medicines, which means they help people to stay as healthy as possible. If this sounds interesting to you, then perhaps becoming a pharmacist — a trusted, caring, and knowledgeable health care professional — might very well be you.
Working Conditions
Pharmacists work in pharmacies, including those in grocery and drug stores. They also work in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Some pharmacists work for the government and the military. In most settings, they spend much of the workday on their feet.
Most pharmacists work full time, although about 1 in 5 worked part time in 2014. Because many pharmacies are open at all hours, some pharmacists work nights and weekends.
Academic Requirements
In 2016, 139 colleges and schools of pharmacy were recognized by the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education. Pharmacy programs grant Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degrees, which require at least six years of post-secondary study and passing a state board of pharmacy licensure examination.
The Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree program requires at least 2-years of specific preprofessional (undergraduate) coursework followed by 4-academic years (or 3-calendar years) of professional study. Pharmacy colleges and schools may accept students directly from high school for both the pre-pharmacy and pharmacy curriculum, or after completion of the college course prerequisites. The majority of students enter a pharmacy program with 3 or more years of college experience. College graduates who enroll in a pharmacy program must complete the full 4-academic years (or 3-calendar) years of professional study to earn the Pharm.D. degree.
The Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) makes it easy to apply to multiple schools using a single application.
Students interested in laboratory or research experience can continue their education by completing a Master of Science or Ph.D. degree. Graduates usually go on to careers in research for a drug company or teaching at a university. In the 2016-17 academic year, 78 colleges of pharmacy offered Master of Science and/or Ph.D. programs.
Other options for Pharm.D. graduates who are interested in further training include one- or two-year residency programs or fellowships. Pharmacy residencies are post-graduate training programs in pharmacy practice. Pharmacy fellowships are highly individualized programs designed to prepare participants to work in research laboratories. Some pharmacists who run their own pharmacies obtain a master's degree in business administration (MBA).

Rise of the Planet of the Apes set the stage for the eventual takeover of planet Earth by our simian relatives, and presented it in a way that removing humans from power didn't seem like such a terrible idea. Power corrupts, and there's no denying humans have been the ruling class for longer than we likely deserve.
Its sequel, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, comes 10 years after Caesar and his ape brethren escaped into California's redwood forest to begin their own society. As for the humans, they've had their population decimated by the "ALZ-113″ virus, which was intended as a cure for Alzheimer's, but instead proved lethal - whereas when apes are exposed to that same virus, it increases their intelligence.
Over the past decade the uneasy detente between the last surviving humans and the ever-developing apes has only become more tenuous and strained. And from all of the film's trailers, teasers, TV spots and more, war appears inevitable.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' latest TV spot (above) is all about selling the apes as a serious threat (as if there were lingering doubts after the last film). The spot's voice over makes a compelling argument, pointing out humans' power stems from our modern technology - something apes don't require, and which is very quickly becoming obsolete.
Also just released is a new featurette for the film in where director Matt Reeves discusses how he best used 3D in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes:
It's interesting to hear a director say the incorporation of 3D will enhance the film's emotional moments instead of simply being used for eye candy spectacle. Much of the first Apes film hinged on believing the emotional resonance from Caesar (portrayed though motion capture by Andy Serkis, who's reprising the role in the sequel). If Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' 3D immerses audiences how Reeves is intending, then that emotional connection should only prove that much stronger.
Lastly, in yet another international trailer (below) the uneasy peace between humans and apes continues to crumble:
Caesar - a child of both worlds having been raised with humans - is at the center of it all, and his decisions hold the answer to whether humans and apes will ever coexist harmoniously. As was teased at the 2013 Comic-Con, this second Apes film is very much a character driven drama, which seems to put the brunt of carrying the film's emotional weight on Serkis and his skill at emoting through digitally rendered characters. Thankfully, he's no doubt up to the task.
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens in U.S. theaters on July 11th, 2014.

(CNN) -- Britain has closed its embassy in Algiers and moved its operations into the Hilton Hotel this weekend, in response to an ongoing security assessment following last November's bombings in Istanbul which ripped through the British Consulate, a British Foreign Office spokeswoman said Sunday.
A spokesman at the Hilton said the staff moved in Saturday. There was no indication of how long the staff may be there.
The November 20 bombings in Istanbul, which killed 31 people, also targeted the British-based HSBC bank.
In December, British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw ordered a review of the security strategy of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for its posts abroad, citing concerns of possible terrorist attacks.
"We keep the security of all our posts under constant review and frequently re-assess the risks and the measures needed to manage them in the light of changing threat levels," Straw said at the time.
The British Foreign Office spokeswoman in London said Sunday that the staff move in Algiers was not linked to the March 11 commuter-train bombings in Madrid that killed 202 people.
The British Embassy in Algiers coordinates with other nations in fighting terrorism, promotes economic development, and issues visas and passports.
According to the Embassy's Web site, "Algeria has passed through a period of considerable difficulty because of the threat from terrorism in recent years; but while problems remain, a lot of progress has been made."

I thought I'd share three recent Swedish albums that I just can't stop listening to.
Sarah Dawn Finer – Moving On
This album has just been released and debuted at the number one spot on the Swedish album charts. Pretty good going, eh? It's an album of power ballads delivered with a powerful voice from SDF (as she is affectionately known), best known from this year's Melodifestivalen.
Current single: Standing Strong
Neo – One
This album is pure retro-sounding pop and is just lots of fun to listen to. I have written about Neo before and he is well worth checking out. He sounds like Mika and has the same incredible vocal range.
Current single: Flower Power Supergirl
Erik Linder – Inifrån
"But it's all ballads," cried The Judge when I tried to play this amazing album to him. Yes, it is but wow, what beautiful ballads and beautifully sung. Erik Linder was a finalist on this year's "Sweden's Got Talent" and so impressed everyone that he was offered a record contract. The album title translates to "From Within" and this collection of well-known Swedish songs really get within you. Everytime I hear this album, I feel the emotion welling up inside me. It is in Swedish but Erik's voice just transcends any language barrier as he gives us songs by the likes of Eva Dahlgren, Eric Gadd, Marie Fredriksson, Per Gessle and Ted Gärdestad.
From the album: Du får göra som du vill (You get to do what you want)

NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. - Coming as no surprise to anyone who lives there, New Rochelle has been named one of the top 50 cities to live in throughout America.
In a study conducted by 24/7 Wall St., New Rochelle just made the mark, coming in ranked as the 50th most livable city in America, behind Layton, Utah.
The study considered factors that include crime statistics, the economy, affordability and dozens of socioeconomic measures to identify the 50 best American cities to live in.
Citing its proximity to New York City and the Metro-North Railroad, New Rochelle landed in the top 10 percent in median home value and top 25 percent of residents that have at least a bachelor's degree. The city was also in the bottom 25 percent of poverty rate, at 12.5 percent.
New Rochelle is the only city in New York to make the list.
According to the study, "In addition to providing access to the economic opportunities of a major metropolitan area, New Rochelle offers the quality of life of a wealthy suburb. The area has roughly one park and five golf courses per 100,000 residents, among the most of any city nationwide."

If you or your child has asthma, these top tips will help you feel more confident enjoying the 5th November celebrations...
Be mindful of lingering smoke fumes
As well as all the sparkle and colour from fireworks and bonfires, smoke fumes and unpleasant smells can linger long after the event is over. This can increase air pollution levels. If you or your child have asthma, all of these things can irritate your airways and trigger asthma symptoms.
We recommend avoiding smoky situations where possible, and if you find the smoke is making you cough, stand well back, and find a good spot from a distance to admire the fireworks.
How to prepare so you can stay symptom-free
You're more likely to stay well with your asthma if you:
- take your preventer medicines as prescribed and discussed with your GP or asthma nurse
- carry your reliever inhaler (usually blue) with you at all times - you never know when you may need it
- make sure your friends and family know what to do and when to get help if your asthma symptoms suddenly get worse.
All of these things will also help you to worry less about you or your child getting symptoms during the Bonfire Night celebrations.
Don't forget to wrap up warm
Our autumn weather can be very unpredictable, and cold and wet weather can bring on asthma symptoms. Mould and damp from falling leaves can also make asthma worse - one third of people with asthma tell us this happens to them. So, keep warm and avoid getting wet as much as possible while you're out.
If it's cold, wrap a scarf over your nose and mouth – this will help to warm up the air before you breathe it in.
If you're worried about symptoms, see your GP or asthma nurse
If you have symptoms such as coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest or shortness of breath - or you have any concerns about your asthma - see your GP or asthma nurse as soon as possible. They will check your medicines and will explore ways to help you get your asthma under control - so you can reduce your risk of an asthma attack.
And don't forget to download a written asthma action plan and take it with you to your appointment to discuss with your GP or asthma nurse.
Dr Andy Whittamore, Asthma UK's in-house GP says: "Whatever the time of year, people with asthma are more resilient to triggers like cold air or pollution when their asthma is well managed. You can help cut your risk of an asthma attack by taking your medicine as prescribed, going for an asthma review with your GP or asthma nurse at least once a year, and using a written asthma action plan.
"It's really important that you see your GP or asthma nurse if you notice your symptoms are getting worse or if you're using your reliever inhaler more than three times a week."
Get in touch with an asthma nurse
If you're worried about anything or have any questions, contact our Helpline. You can call one of our friendly expert nurses on 0300 222 5800 (9am – 5pm; Mon – Fri).

Fall 1993: Apply to colleges. On my applications I put myself down for the mechanical or electrical engineering programs. Went to Carnegie Mellon with Chris Demas to check out the school. Met with one of the mechanical engineering professors. He showed us mathematical models of air flow inside jet engines. I remember thinking that was "cool."
May 1994: Graduate from high school (yeah CHS!).
Sep 1994: Go to UMass as an engineering major.
Oct 1994: Transfer out of engineering program and become a math major.
Feb 1995: Drop math major and become a sociology major.
Summer 1997: In South Africa, I was riding in a car with some friends on a long trip. Their Honda CRX suddenly stops working. We find a mechanic who says he can fix it. I remember thinking "I wish I knew how to fix it."
Spring 1998: During my last semester at UMass, I "volunteer" to help out at a local Midas shop. I offer to sweep up and help clean the shop if they'll teach me things. Surprisingly, they were fine with that. And they taught me some things.
June 1998: Graduate from college (Part I).
July 1998: Start working for Jiffy Lube. Official title: "Lubrication Technician." Amazingly, I still can't think of any jokes about that title. Upon getting hired, the boss told me my sociology degree made me a "good candidate for management."
July 1999: Move to Phoenix, AZ for car school.
July 2000: Graduate from car school, move to Portland, OR to work for Ferrari.

When I get to the conference, I find my nametag, "Scott Heines, Northwestern University." Eh, close enough. I meet a design engineer in the suspension department. We talk for a while. We are both a bit unsure of why we are at this conference.
June 2007: Email Mr. Suspension Engineer at Honda. He puts me in touch with someone in the Honda HR department. I email Ms. HR Department and tell her I'd like to do an internship with Honda in 2008. I get an interview, but I don't get the internship.
Oct 2008: I email Ms. HR Deparment again, reminding her who I am, and saying I am still interested in working for Honda after I graduate. She says my timing is good; they are getting ready for interviews and she'll put my resume in the pile.
Dec 4-5 2008: Honda invites me out to interview. During the 2 days I built a tower out of marshmallows and toothpicks, played some Wii Bowling, and won a stuffed Stewie doll.
Dec 23 2008: After a whirlwind of a week, I accept the offer from Honda to be a design engineer in the automatic transmission department.
May 1 2009: Graduate from college (Part II).
Personally, I like "Design Engineer" better than "Lubrication Technician."
(Special thanks to Chris Demas for getting me interested in cars in the first place.)

Jared Davis v. Nordock Inc. and Gerry Stretch 2012 HRTO 2218 (CanLII)
Mr. Davis was employed at Nordock Inc. from July 28, 2010 till May 20, 2011 when his employment was terminated. Prior to his termination, Mr. Davis broke his ankle. This injury required Mr. Davis to be absent from work for several weeks. Mr. Davis supplied his employer with medical documentation relating to this absence. In addition, Mr. Davis required time off work to attend medical appointments relating to his hypothyroidism. Mr. Davis claims that the Plant Manager, Gerry Stretch, was aware of his medical condition and was fine with Mr. Davis missing work to attend medical appointments. Ultimately, Mr. Davis alleges that his employment with Nordock Inc. was terminated due his disability. Mr. Stretch, the respondent, denies these allegations and states that Mr. Davis' employment was terminated due to excessive and unexcused tardiness and absences. Mr. Stretch maintains that Mr. Davis' employment was not terminated because of his disability. In this case it was found that Mr. Davis was subject to discrimination on the bases of disability when his employment was terminated.
Question(s) to be Determined:
1. Does the applicant, Jared Davis, have a disability within the meaning of the Code?
2. Was the applicant, Jared Davis, subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability when his employment was terminated?
1. Does the applicant, Jared Davis, have a disability within the meaning of the Code?
2. Was the applicant, Jared Davis, subjected to discrimination on the basis of disability when his employment was terminated?
1. In this case Mr. Davis states that he broke his ankle on November 9, 2010. Mr. Davis was unable to work for several weeks as a result of his broken ankle. Mr. Davis also has hypothyroidism. As a result of his hypothyroidism Mr. Davis needed time off work for blood work. "In the circumstances, I am satisfied that both the applicant's broken ankle, which caused him to be absent from work for several weeks, and his hypothyroidism, which required him to attend medical appointments on a regular basis, are disabilities within the meaning of the Code" (para 48).
2. According to Mr. Davis, his employer, Nordock Inc. was aware that he required time off work for blood work related to hypothyroidism. Mr. Davis claimed that his lateness and absences were related to his hypothyroidism which he disclosed to his employer. Mr. Davis alleged that his employment was ultimately terminated because of his lateness and absences related to his disability, hypothyroidism. According to Mr. Stretch, Mr. Davis' employment was terminated due to "excessive unexcused tardiness and absences, not related to disability, and abandoning his work station during company time" (para 67). In this case it was found that "the applicant required time off work to attend medical appointments due to a disability within the meaning of the Code, and that he advised his employer. I find that the applicant's absences to attend medical appointments related to his hypothyroidism were nevertheless a factor in the decision to terminate his employment. I find therefore that the applicant was subjected to discrimination, contrary to the Code, when his employment was terminated by Mr. Stretch on May 20, 2011. I also find the respondents, Nordock Inc. and Gerry Stretch, to be jointly and severally liable for the violation of the Code" (para 69).
In this case Mr. Davis sought monetary compensation, including lost wages, compensation for emotional and financial stress and human rights training for Nordock's supervisors and managers.
Monetary compensation for lost wages – It was found that Mr. Nordock did not attempt to mitigate his losses, after being terminated, by seeking alternate employment. Based on this lack of mitigation, no compensation was awarded for lost income.
Monetary compensation for emotional and financial stress (injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect) - Citing O'Brien v. Organic Bakery Works Inc., 2012 HRTO 457 it was stated that the range of monetary compensation for disability-related discrimination involving termination of employment is from $10 000 to $20 000. In this case "an award at the lower end of the range would be appropriate in the present case. Having regard to all of the circumstances, I find an award of $12,000 to be appropriate compensation for the impact of the discriminatory termination of the applicant's employment on his dignity, feelings and self-respect" (para 79).
Human rights training for Nordock's supervisors and managers (future compliance) – It was found that Nordock Inc. did not have a human rights policy which addressed the duty to accommodate. "In my view, the respondents could benefit from developing a human rights policy that addresses the duty to accommodate, and from training on the policy. I find that it is appropriate in the circumstances to order that the respondents develop a human rights policy, and implement training on the policy" (para 81).
1. Within 30 days of the date of this Order, the respondents shall pay the applicant $12,000.00 for injury to dignity, feelings and self-respect;
2. Pre-judgment interest is payable on the above amount from May 20, 2011, to the date of this Decision, in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act. Post-judgment interest is payable on any amount not paid within 30 days of the date of this Decision, in accordance with the Courts of Justice Act;
3. Within 120 days of the date of this Order, the respondents shall, at their own expense:
(i) develop and implement a workplace human rights (anti-discrimination and anti-harassment) policy, that includes the duty to accommodate in the workplace, and distribute the policy to all supervisors, management and staff;
(ii) provide a mandatory human rights training program about human rights and, in particular, the duty to accommodate, for all supervisors, management and staff who perform supervisory and/or human resources functions; and,
4. Within 130 days of the date of this Order, the respondents shall confirm to the applicant's representative in writing that the steps set out in paragraph 3 of this Order have been complied with.

Life after Kashmir changed rapidly as we crossed the border into the next state. The Muslim culture changed into a Hindi culture, the military left the scene and best of all I was again connected to the outside world. Since it is impossible in Kashmir to connect to the local network with a prepaid Indian SIM and Wi-Fi is fairly impossible to find, I was cut off from the world for 6 consecutive days.
Is it safe to travel to Kashmir? Where exactly am I going and is it safe enough to go there? These kind of questions I asked myself only at the airport while waiting to board my flight to Srinagar, the capital of this disputable region. Not that I was really looking for an answer to those questions to be honest, but it did cross my mind while roaming Instagram for the best things to do in Kashmir.

"The main reason we hired Ania over other photographers is because she made the effort to come to our home to meet us. As soon as we met her we felt instantly comfortable. We already felt cringey about getting photographed but meeting Ania made us feel at ease before we even planned our engagement shoot.
From start to finish we loved working with Ania. It felt more like hanging out with a friend, Ania made us relax so much which was so important especially as I felt a bit nervous about being photographed. My nerves faded and you made me feel good about getting behind the lens! On the day Ania was fantastic! She fitted in with my family and bridesmaids in the morning. During the day she was so discreet taking natural shots which was so important to me as I didn't want guests to feel uncomfortable.
Our photos are AMAZING and were better than I could ever imagine. There were too many to choose from to print! Now I have printed them I cannot stop looking at them.
To all future clients thinking of hiring Ania – Do it!!! You won't be disappointed!"
Where do I even start?! EPIC is the only word that springs to my mind when I try to describe Donna & Ben's wedding at Sywell Grange Wedding Venue! Donna's dress made my mouth drop when I first saw it in the morning and she looked absolutely stunning in it. And Ben didn't look bad either 😉 The theme was 'glam' with pale pinks, gold and navy.
Donna & Ben's spectacular wedding was my first (and definitely not my last) taste of the perks of a wedding at Sywell Grange. Stunning views, amazing warm July sun, amazingly decorated marquee and chilled pimms.

In an ordinary year – one not marked by Britain's double-dip, the euro crisis and a possible change of guard in Washington – the collapse in Facebook's stock would be one of the biggest business stories around. Its shares slumped to $19.01 on Friday afternoon, making them worth almost exactly half the $38 they were sold at in the company's listing this May – less a flotation, you might think, than a belly-flop. There's more to this than social-media schadenfreude: this is about insiders profiting at the expense of outsiders. Mark Zuckerberg and senior staffers at Facebook have been able to cash out of stock they bought ultra-cheap before flotation. Morgan Stanley and other underwriters will have made a mint on the deal. And Wall Street traders who jumped ship early will also have done well. The losers are small investors who bought shares at a vastly inflated price – and those saving for their retirement in a pension fund. Those small-time savers will have handed over millions to an elite of financiers and tech executives. There has to be a better way of organising flotations. When Google joined the stock market in 2004, it held a "Dutch auction", inviting investors to bid for stock at whatever price they thought fair. It has drawbacks, but such a system prevents a bunch of Wall Street insiders getting in on a stock early, then dumping it. It's just one option worth exploring in the wake of the Facebook flop; because this tale isn't about one company's Icarus-like descent, but an entire rotten system.
Unthinkable? An end to Facebook-style flops
We need to explore other options for flotations to change this rotten system that has only enriched insiders

Beautiful Beans - The best damn baked beans you will ever have!
For as long as I remember I have been eating baked beans, they are one of the most simplest meals you can eat and so nutritious. They were a staple in our home as kids, in fact for most of my childhood Thursday was beans night. Thursday was the day my parents would do the weekly shop and beans were always the last thing in the cupboard before they would do the shopping at 7pm down in our local Dunnes Stores. As sad as it sounds I even remember the bowl the beans would be served up in, its mad to think you end up remembering simple things like this. They would be either served with buttered bread or toast, but for some reason we always got it in our little bowl where as my mum would eat them on toast, again strange things like that stay with you. Consequently I have found beans to be a fast go to meal especially for lunch in work. When I left home to live in Dublin my mum would supply me with beans endlessly. There was one stage after living up in Dublin 6 months, I had 28 cans beans in my food cupboard. I gotta love my mum, when she knows you like something she will supply you with loads of it, although I guess all parents are like that.
Anyhow I digress, back to today, I present you the best damn beans I have ever eaten. These beans are heavenly and would belong on any dining table as the main meal. Not to mention this is another simple tasty recipe. Its extremely healthy, being vegan, gluten free and great for someone like myself on a diet. I want you to try this, I personally believe it tastes incredible.
Serving 4 this comes in at 138 calories per person and also 4 Weight Watchers points.
2 cans of beans ( any beans will do here I used a mixed can and one can of cannellini beans)
Drain both cans but reserve the liquid from one as you will use this later.
1tbsp of olive oil
1 (450g) can of good chopped tomatoes ( do not drain )
1 medium sized white onion
3 garlic cloves
Pinch of chilli flakes
Salt and pepper
1)Slice the onions thinly and mince the 3 garlic cloves.
2)Fry the onions and garlic on a medium heat for 5 mins until softened but do not brown, so if you think they are cooking too fast turn your heat down.
3)Add your beans, drained bean liquid of one can and tomatoes seasoning with salt, chilli flakes and pepper.
4)Bring to the boil and reduce to a simmer once boiled for 30 mins.
5)Adjust seasoning and serve immediatly.
So freaking good, I hope this is something you try its yummy.
Thanks for reading

The Search Engines Strategies Conference & Expo (SES for short) has got some big names lined up. It was recently announced that on 11 August, Clickz, Google and YouTube will hold an event (no not for Christophor Rick's Birthday…though it's the same day) in conjunction with SES that will be focused entirely on Social Media and Video Strategy.
Kristin Kovner, the Industry Marketing Manager at YouTube, posted the following on the Youtube Biz Blog,
"We're excited to be a part of this first-time ever event. SES is one of the best places for businesses to learn about search; now that YouTube has millions of searches each day, it's only fitting that ClickZ and SES are expanding the agenda to include a full day dedicated to video and social media."
What? That is right, an entire day will be dedicated to Social Media and Video Strategies. Yipee. I'm going.
Social Media and Video Strategies – August 10th
SES San Jose 2009 is set to run 10-14 August at the McEnery Convention Center. The 10th is filled with half day workshops while Clay Shirky, Author of "Here Comes Everybody", will kick things off on the first full day of activities with the Opening Keynote. Following the keynote, those that register specifically for the Social Media & Video Strategies Forum can attend the following sessions that day:
- Marketing in a Social Media World
- Going Social: Effective Advertising via Social Networks
- In the Now: Conversational & Real Time Marketing
- What Works: Online Video Advertising Made Easy With Google & YouTube
- What Works: Best Practices / Case Studies for Online Video
- A Social Visit: CMO Fireside Chat with Robert Scoble as the moderator
Our friend Greg Jarboe of SEO PR, will be presenting in the "What Works: Best Practices / Case Studies for Online Video" session. Greg is a though leader and has spoken at previous SES conferences about video marketing in conjunction with Youtube. Greg has been creating and optimizing videos for Youtube for many years, even before they were acquired by Google. Coincidentally, he just recently finished writing a book titled "Youtube and Video Marketing: An Hour A Day," which will be published right around the time that the conference is occurring, mid-August.
"No, I didn't know that Social Media & Video Strategies would be held in conjunction with SES San Jose 2009 when I started writing last fall. But I did know that YouTube.com was on its way to being the destination where 107.1 million Americans went to watch 6.8 billion videos each month, according to comScore Video Metrix. I also knew YouTube was on its way to becoming the #2 property where search activity is observed, with 3.2 billion search queries a month in the U.S., behind only Google, with 9.8 billion search queries a month.
In a few weeks, we will be writing a review of the book as well as featuring some guest posts and interviews with Greg about the subject of marketing video content via YouTube. Stay tuned. If you want to, you can pre-order the book here.
More about SES San Jose 2009 Conference and Expo
In addition to the opening keynote address, other keynotes include Nicholas Fox, Business Product Management Director, AdWords, Google and Charlene Li, Co-Author of Groundswell on How to Prepare for the Future of Search. The final day (14th) is a day full of SEM Training.
The event will truly be of interest to everyone in the search engine, SEO, online video and small to medium business areas (even Christophor expressed interest in attending but he's still in the Balkans – haha).
The fifth year of the San Jose-based expo is aimed at marketing teams, executives and IT/Web personnel. Other sessions promising to spread the depth and scope of the expo include presentations from Facebook, Omniture, YouTube, Google and Clickz.
The full event is running about $2,000 with a one day pass going for about $900 and SEM training for $750-1400. If you just want to attend the expo it's free (if you get the pass in advance) or $50 at the door. That will of course exclude you from all the really great content of the conference.
With regard to the Social Media and Video Strategies forum, you will need to register for that separately. If you register before August 7th there is a discounted rate of $144 for the day. I think they are offering the discount specifically in honor of my birthday, which is the 7th, but I haven't confirmed that ;-).
The Expo side of things is fit to see companies from around the web on display including the likes of search marketers (Search Marketing Standard, Idearc), ad networks, metrics giants (like ComScore), video search and platforms (Blinkx, Adfare Video Solutions, etc… ), public relations (PRWeb), software (network solutions, Rosetta) and social networks (Facebook)
Should you Go to this Event?
Hell yes! Whether your new at the search and online marketing game or an old hat this is surely a must attend event for people in business big and small. If you are unable to attend the full SES conference, at least consider registering for the Social Media and Video Strategy Forum. We are thrilled that they are offering this special day along side SES.
TubeMogul recently commissioned a study that helps to demonstrate why the focus on video and social media is a good fit for the conference.
How do people discover videos online?
- 45% of all videos are found on a video site, i.e. going to YouTube and doing a search or clicking around featured and related videos.
- 44% of all videos are found embedded in blogs.
- 6% of all videos are found with search engines, like Google.
- 2% of all videos are found in social networks, like Facebook.
- 2% of all videos found in social bookmarking sites.
- Less than 1% of all videos are found with video search engines, like Google Video.
44% are embedded in blogs? That's a very large percentage and means you need to have your videos available in some embeddable form for your readers. On the other end of the spectrum, only 6% are found with search engines…a problem with them or with how we're putting our video online?
Find out at the conference!
