    very nice, long waiting (loading) maybe you can try some things to size down the file, but nice site well done!

    Agreed. The file size is huge. Very nice artwork, but you can definitly break that swf up into a few movies. Also, if you plan to make users wait that long, maybe a more interesting preloader?

    It's nice to see something a little more creative

    broadband = 20 second wait

    I am on 500kb/sec connection,and STILL I have to wait at least 5 minutes til load complete.

    You need to cut out ur stuff, and load them in separetly from clicking a button or something.

    This portfolio might be best delivered to perspective employers on a CD -- just a bit big to download.

    Also, it's a bit noisy, you should have a mute button included that is easilly locatable. And not to be picky, but it was incredibly annoying when putting my mouse over the menu would open it up and moving it away would close it. Very nice general idea/design though.

    Pretty interesting stuff! Some of the transitions were real cool. I didn't like the voice that said "bio" and "contact", seems kinda newbish and you're way past that kinda thing.

    The girl typing is a nice touch, would be better if she did something different after a few hundred key strokes though.

    why

    I cant really see why you would go through all the trouble of making your site when its a rip off from somewhere else. You obviously have the skill to build decent a flash site, you just need your OWN ideas.

    By all means almost evey idea comes from another and we are all inspired by stuff. But the way to go is to take that idea and make it your own!

    anyhow I just think its a shame that all your hard work goes to nothing, as you get very little cred from just copying other sites.

    try again.

    Took over a minute to load up for me on a 600k cable connection.

    Looked different though, not my style, but still different

    way cool, but it took fooorrrrrreeeeevverrrrrrr to load on a 56k modem. optimize those images! it's really nice and crisp as it is, but content is also another huge factor. it's kinda nice haivng all the images already loaded and there, but I'd say that you could have a target withing the main movie, and then have it so that all the images, the games section, and everything else could be loaded separately. could take sme work, but it would reeally make loading times fast and easy on the user's part!

    dude,

    u stole everything, including the music

    the site looked worse than the origional and took longer to load.

    if you gonna make a rip atleast make a rip that the origional designer would be proud of.
