[Psycho Girlfriend]

Right off the bat I lost 4% personality for apologizing for sleeping in when someone is waiting for me?? That's literally just being considerate, and it isn't "psychotic" to not want to be kept waiting if you have plans.
Kind of insulting to be honest.

[YOU LEFT ME.]

this was so beautiful.
Thank you for making this.

[Experiment Omicron]

I'm confused as to how you're going to measure how well the priming was because you did not test how quickly I responded to the images BEFORE playing the game. Where is your control sample?
Also by stating it was a maze, I spent most of my time not really sure what I was doing or looking for and it never really sunk in that the trucks were taking away my health.

[You Are The Victim]

It's not well done, and I'm also very uncomfortable with the message this game is sending. The "I hate filthy greens" and that fact that it seems like if the camera pans over on you as you are getting attacked, you look like the victim even though you are committing assaults and murders left and right. Feel like you might be trying to make a statement that isn't at all accurate? I sincerely hope not, because I like having faith in humanity now and then.

Alon-Tzarafi responds:

Well in the game both the Green and the Blue are racist, which is (sadly) realistic in these types of conflicts.
I like having faith in humanity too, but sadly, nearly all of the mechanics are based on real events (watch my city of residence).
It's just a game about the more twisted aspects of humanity.

[Theropods]

Puzzles are intuitive, graphics are simple yet beautiful, music and voice acting is great, and it was entertaining!
Apart from the ending making me feel like a super terrible person, this is a great game!

[Cube Escape: The Lake]

I have the settings on my browser set to ask me every single time any sites tries to store information on my computer. Including simple cookie sharing. When I was playing the game, it came up once asking to store information on my computer, which was fine, no biggie, I hit deny. It then proceeded to ask me over and over and over again, and pretty much made the game unplayable. Wish I could have, I liked the graphics. Perhaps it's a bug? I don't know, but it was super annoying.

[You Shall Know The Truth]

I feel like a lot of people are missing the point of this. Yes, it may seem "preachy." However it is by no means dull. While this is labelled as a game, I don't think it's intended to be crazy super fun. If you want that, go play pac man or something. The main purpose of this game seems to be about making a statement about things that are kept from people that some believe they often should know. I'd highly recommend taking the time to simply just read the bits of text that appear when searching an item and location to understand it a little better. Wikileaks is an issue that everyone should be aware of. Hell, I'm not an American and I'm aware of it because it effects me too.
That said, I liked this. I do wonder about the choice of the player being placed in the shoes of an fbi agent, and I wonder if another pov may have been more effective.

[Hipster Detective Ep. 1]

I didn't like this. There really was no point to it at all, and it really wasn't a game. While I understand that it is pixel art, it was really poorly done. Some of the objects, such as the fedora were really poorly represented. Also it should be noted that hipsters don't wear fedoras. They're lame, and only brony-atheists with neckbeards wear them.
There is no plot, barely any gameplay, the art could be a lot better, it's incredibly short, and honestly might as well be part of the spam collection.
Put a little work into something before you submit it please.

DoaTheJackalope responds:

no.

This was very informative, however I feel like it might have been helpful if we could see what the correct answers were, or "more correct" answers were since this is about learning how to be a better user on newgrounds.
